Horoscopes May 16-23

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

You don’t have to do a whole lot of external work this week because yours is an inside job, Taurus. Things have been hard in recent weeks, and whether you feel like you’ve come out on the other end or not, this is a moment for you to feel good about your efforts. The most effective way for you to make magic in your life is to trust yourself. You don’t need for things to be perfect as proof that you’ve tried your best. Self-love is the missing ingredient to all your best recipes.

Gemini

May 21 – June 21

As your world expands, you can grow along with it, or you can contract in efforts to keep things the same. This week will bring lots of action into your relationship life, and while it’s not all good or bad, it will definitely be exciting. If you’re going to start something new, you might as well put your best foot forward, Twin Star. Don’t define yourself by how others see you. You can’t control how others perceive you, and it’s unwise to even try. Just be yourself, whoever that may be today.

Cancer

June 22 – July 22

This is an excellent week for introspection and self-care, Moonchild. You’re in a transitional place that is fertile but only if you make use of it. It’s not enough to live in a tumult of emotion. You need to make sense of your feels in order to create the change you want to see in your life. Fear (on its own) is not enough of an indicator of danger — learn how to decode your inner language so you can act in integrity, even when you’d rather hide out with your worries.

Leo

July 23 – Aug. 22

You can say what’s on your mind, but there will be consequences, sweet one. This week you’re on call to stand up for what you believe and deal with consequences. If you feel insecure, that’s okay. Just don’t act from that emotion. You’re ready to see things as they really are and move on. Just because you can’t see what’s around the bend doesn’t mean that it’s something to fear. Put one foot in front of the other, and make it happen, Leo.

Virgo

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

Transformation and healing is messy business. You’re totally on the right track, but that doesn’t mean everything is going smoothly. Don’t confuse appearances with substantive truth, Virgo. The problems you’re encountering this week are exactly what you need to deal with in order to be your best self. Not all upsets are here to torture you. Be willing to learn from your situation and your reaction to it. Don’t fight the flow. Ride the waves, my love.

Libra

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

Loving others doesn’t mean you have to take on their issues. This week you will have to decide to have some boundaries or deal with the repercussions. I know it’s unpleasant, but sometimes you have to fight with the people you’re closest to. Disappointing others is part of everyone’s life, so instead of beating yourself up about your limits, try a different tact: be direct, honest and humble. You don’t have to be perfect, but if you can be emotionally generous, you’re doing all right.

Scorpio

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

Your relationships are a reflection of your values. Do you like what you see? This week you’re on call to honour the people in your life and your connections to them. If you aren’t happy with your relations, take a minute to see whether it’s time to adjust your attitudes and approach or your relationships themselves. If you’re in a solid interpersonal place, celebrate your fam with tiny avalanches of tender, loving kindness.

Sagittarius

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

If you’ve invested your energy into things that you most care about, this week will bring you opportunities to strengthen your connections to them. If you’ve been projecting fantasies while mismanaging your time, you’d better get ready for a reality check, my love. Deal with reality even if it’s not super fun, Sagittarius. You’re ready to move into the next phase of development, just don’t get distracted by bright and shiny distractions along the way.

Capricorn

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

You don’t have to know exactly what you want in order to keep on progressing. This week you’re going to have to answer for your actions, and that may be a no-big-deal or kinda-emo drama, depending on how you’ve been conducting yourself, Cappy. Instead of rushing to find answers, try and pace yourself through your options. If you’re asking the right questions, the answers have a funny way of revealing themselves.

Aquarius

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

If you’re in too big of a rush, you will get there frazzled and exhausted. Try to slow down and check in with yourself, Aquarius. You’re going in the right direction, but you may be making things harder than they need to be. Can you ask for help? Can you better prioritize tasks so that you’re not doing everything all at once? The people who’ve got your back can only show up for you if you let them. Take a chance, and make yourself vulnerable in the name of progress this week.

Pisces

Feb. 19 – March 20

Your fear of change is only natural, but that doesn’t make it wise. The best things in life are exciting, terrible, risky and divine. Be here for all of it, Pisces. Take chances whenever you can this week, particularly if they promise you more freedom and challenge you beyond your comfort zone. Don’t shrink from power if you have a chance to grab it, my love. You’re ready to rise to the occasion and experience more of what you’re capable of.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

Take a minute to count your blessings, Aries. You’ve been working hard, and as a result, you’ve changed your life in meaningful ways. There’s no point in all that effort if you’re not going to stop and enjoy it, so take a break and honour your accomplishments this week, my love. This is an excellent time to take some risks, start something new and to improve upon your foundations. Honour the things that most inspire you by heeding their call.
