Read on to discover your weekly horoscope and what’s in store for your sign during the week of May 14 through May 20, 2023.

Aries

As Jupiter bids farewell to its year-long stay in your sign, reflect on the unfolding growth and opportunities. Take a moment to appreciate your progress and all that you’ve learned. From here, secure or put what you’ve initiated into concrete form. It may be time to commit to a longer-term source of income; consider investing and focus on what will bear fruit rather than dispersing your energy on short-term novelty. Take a measured approach to both achievement and energy use, factor in rest, and go for a slow burn rather than blast-then-burnout. Set your intentions for abundance on Friday’s new moon with a simple abundance ritual or list of intentions.

Taurus

This week is host to a significant emphasis on your sign as Mercury turns direct, Jupiter sets up camp for the next year, and a new moon forms on Friday. Jupiter is the planet of luck, with fortune smiling on themes, areas, and activities ruled by the host sign. And for the next 12 months, that’s you, sweet Taurus; it really is your time to shine. That may mean expanding or launching a business idea or project, learning a new skill, or teaching one you’ve mastered. Only you know what you’ve been cooking up, so back yourself with faith and make the most of any golden opportunity that comes your way. Dedicate a decadent ritual to your abundance over the coming year. Set intentions for your fiscal vision on Friday’s new moon.

Gemini

The central focus is on your dreams, literally. Your best ideas might be found in the space between wakefulness and dreaming. Or in the dream itself, so take note. Settle in for a catnap if you have a problem to solve; it’s a great way to reset and make mental space for creative ideas or solutions. Exploration of your mystic side is best with a routine rather than a haphazard butterfly. Try a class or group that takes you beyond yourself; explore meditation, if that’s your edge (guided is easiest). Combine with a slow physical practice like yin yoga. Over the next year, the planet of luck and expansion is in this sphere, so settle in for 12 months of dream journaling and build your spiritual connection. The idea is to balance your logical side with your intuitive intel.

Cancer

On Wednesday the planet of expansion flips out of your career zone and into your sphere of friendship. Look back on any forced growth or times you pushed out of your comfort zone and took that leap of faith. Over the next year, this is an excellent time to shore up connections, make new fortuitous ones, and join a group of like-minded people. Nature, pottery, or Money Mastermind club, anyone? You’re bound to extend your circle and foray into new ones, so note who you’d like to join your squad and invite them. Life’s too short to be shy! Friday’s new moon in this zone kicks off a fresh lunar cycle just in time to take your vision for friending and social needs into its next phase, so be clear on what you want to feel and experience.

Leo

It’s time to amp up the career drive, Leo; Jupiter just landed in this zone. Aim for stable growth and solid returns or outcomes. There is a component that could clash with your usual modus operandi, so be prepared to move the lines of your comfort zone and take up more space. Think outside the box and create opportunities while you’re more likely to gain traction. It’ okay to plant a few seeds and see which ones sprout, as this placement is about abundance. There’s no glory without the work routine, though, so less talk and more action will pay off further down the line. Set your intentions for a vocational outcome you’d be proud of as the new moon begins a fresh cycle in this sphere on Friday.

Virgo

This month has had a practical focus and one of reassessment thanks to Mercury’s retrograde. On Sunday the planet switches gears, lurching back into forward motion; it’s time to perfect your plan. As the planet of growth takes up residence in this zone for an entire year, it’s worth focussing your efforts and pushing the edges of what you thought was possible. With a positive and supportive impact on your sign, luck is on your side. Personal growth, direction, and sense of self all benefit, so don’t stay in your lane if you’re ready to make some moves. Set your intentions on Friday’s new moon and clarify your guiding personal philosophy.

Libra

As Mercury pulls out of its backward slide in your zone of mystery, sex, and gains through others, reflect on a change of heart or direction. You may have a few amendments to an agreement, ready to merge a little of your life with bae, or relish your independence. As a sign of partnership, you must center yourself as much as you prioritize others. If someone else’s success is also a win for you, even better. The planet of luck is in this same sphere over the next year, so choose the best offer and think long-term. Set a list of up to 10 intentions or create a vision board around what you want to welcome or experience in your intimate life. As the moon cycle resets on Friday, visualize your wishes growing with the lunar light.

Scorpio

Jupiter, the planet of luck and growth, pulls into your opposite sign of Taurus on Tuesday, so things are about to get busy with the one-to-ones. If you’re single, this is an excellent opportunity to find a sensual partnership, bestie, or collaborator. In this case, teaming up is beneficial. It’s worth taking stock and visualizing what you want your one-to-one to look like. Focus on the feeling in your body and how you want to experience your interactions. Friday’s new moon is the best time to write out your intentions or to  create a ritual or ceremony to focus your thoughts and feelings. But first, let go of what youre not willing to take into the next cycle with you. You can write down a list and then flush or burn it. Say goodbye with gratitude, and welcome in the new with an open heart.

Sagittarius

Since Jupiter is your ruling planet, it’s always a point of interest when it moves sign. This Tuesday it moves into the practical and security-conscious sign of Taurus. What you have in common with Taurus is a love of the great outdoors. You both crave the natural world, and this is where luck is found. In your zone of health, well-being, routine, and work, it’s time to get the most out of the next 12 months by doing exercise—or rest if you’ve already been overdoing it. Taurus is a sensual sign of the body, so this is your spa year. Enjoy a massage here and there, try natural therapies, or learn a new skill in this area. This could be your year to take on a big or important project you’re passionate about, but don’t take on too much. It’s easy to overextend during this influence. Set your intentions on Friday’s new moon to help clarify your goals.

Capricorn

There’s luck in pursuing your interests, self-expression, and maintaining a work-life balance this year. With Jupiter, the planet of expansion, in a favorable position to your sign, self-development is through play and fun. If you have children, they may bring you more joy, so get them into nature, try a creative class, or learn practical yet fun skills. You might find your way back to a childhood interest you let go of or always wanted to experience and never did. Now is the time to pick up where you left off. Invite experiences that activate your senses and center in the present moment. With this week’s new-moon reset on Friday, it’s the perfect time to be intentional and write down your wishes in this area. It’s okay to have a practical approach to fun and even take it seriously!

Aquarius

It might be time to upsize if your quarters are cramped. With Jupiter, the planet of generosity, in your domestic sphere over the next year, you have luck on your side. You may feel pushed past your comfort zone at home or within your emotional growth. Tune in to your body and your senses, and take on that challenge. You could find yourself out of your depth due to a practical requirement but look at it as a learning curve. On Friday, a new moon initiates a fresh cycle in this zone, so set your positive intentions for stable, secure domestic and emotional underpinnings. Aim for the practical edge; a veggie garden or potted tomato plant if space is tight.

Pisces

Your zone of communication and local relationships notches up this week as Mercury’s retrograde ends. Jupiter moves in for a year of expansion and opportunity, and a new moon graces this zone. Don’t stay in one spot; move around and network locally. You never know who is right under your nose with great practical skills or valuable tips to share. A short course or avenue of learning could be inspirational and profitable down the line. If you have siblings, this is a beneficial time to build on your relationship or repair if things have been strained. There’s a new moon on Friday, so set your intentions around sensuality, pleasure, and earthy delight.
