horoscopes may 3-9

Gemini

May 21 – June 21

The most stressful things can bring you to your greatest potential. Instead of shrinking in the face of your insecurities, this week your challenge is to embody the resourcefulness that you’ve been working so hard to cultivate. Take control of your life, Twin Star. If you’re willing to outgrow some parts of your life, you have to be ready for everything to change. Don’t hold yourself back this week. Let go of the old, and embrace a new adventure.

Cancer

June 22 – July 22

The needs of others can be totally counter to yours, and that doesn’t mean that anyone is exactly at fault. It’s complicated, and the more willing you are here for the messiness, the more able you are to have real and lasting intimacies. Your anxieties and triggers are all shaken up by the snow globe of life. Don’t succumb to your worst fears without giving your relationships a fighting chance — avoid jumping to conclusions this week.

Leo

July 23 – Aug. 22

There are some nagging fears nipping at your heels, Leo. These aren’t brand new concerns, they’re deep old beliefs running on loop. Your job right now is to figure out if they’re trying to protect you or keep you stuck. There’s often a very fine line between the two, but you’ve got to get out your magnifying glass and find it. Seek creative potential in what you choose. While it can be therapeutic to go through difficult things, that’s not the only way to heal, my love.

Virgo

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

You’re ready to make changes, and it’s super exciting. Growing is scary sometimes because it’s pretty inevitable that you’ll outgrow people and things, but you shouldn’t let that stop you. This week you’re on call to expand beyond your ideas about who you are and how you get to be. Instead of maintaining the status quo, now’s the time for you to take steps to create a greater peace. Take radical steps towards security this week.

Libra

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

You’ve got to be brave, Libra. Diplomacy will only take you so far — sometimes you’ve got to assertively push yourself forward. Confront your fears and negative beliefs about what will happen if you break ranks with your old ways. Avoid obsessive thinking if you can, and if you can’t, try to insert a positive belief or statement into your busy brain. You’re going places; don’t make it harder on yourself than it needs to be.

Scorpio

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

Love is a healing and regenerative force, as is happiness. Make the conscious choice to align yourself with the situations, people, and things that spark joy. I’m not suggesting that you act like a Pollyanna because life and the world at large are stressful. What I recommend this week is that you earnestly strive to seek the growth opportunity in every annoying, scary or upsetting thing that comes up.

Sagittarius

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

When you take on too much it’s pretty much inevitable that you’ll get overwhelmed and shut down sooner or later. The question for you to ask yourself this week is around what you’re rushing towards: is there anything that you could do a better job of appreciating or investing in, in the here and now? It’s time to slow down and do a better job of valuing where you’re at. In doing so your plans will get richer and more effective, as will your outcomes.

Capricorn

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

The past has a way of repeating itself, but it doesn’t have to. If you’re willing to learn from your own history, you can make meaningful changes in how you interact with your current circumstances. This isn’t your first rodeo, and it’s on you to make use of the wisdom you’ve accumulated, Cappy. Take the risk of doing things differently this week — you’ll be happily surprised by what happens next.

Aquarius

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

You have a fantastic imagination, Aquarius, and that’s an amazing gift to have. The trouble with it is that you can fantasize yourself into a deep, dark hole and conjure up all manner of impossibilities from there. If you’re going to guess into your future or pretend you know what other people are thinking or feeling, then this week your challenge is to come up with creative, positive or at least neutral visions. Don’t make life so much more stressful for yourself than it needs to be, my love.

Pisces

Feb. 19 – March 20

One way or another, you’ve chosen the path you’re on. The question you need to ask yourself again and again is: have I chosen this? Because if the answer is no, you have choices. They may not be great options, but they’re yours. The more focused on your free will you are, the easier it’ll be to align your actions with your intentions, Pisces. This week your fears may be screaming in your ear, but that doesn’t make them right.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

You’re a person with strong preferences, and that’s a beautiful thing. When you don’t honour your truth, however, you end up feeling like nothing quite fits. This week you’re on call to own when you’ve acted in ways not in line with what you know to be true. It’s no small thing, but it’s also not the end of the world. Identify and express the truth, no matter how uncomfortable it makes you, Aries. Be a willing participant in the direction of your life, my love.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

The truth is not a slippery slope — it’s a steady plateau. You’re at war with something that is undeniably true, and it’s hurting you, Taurus. Instead of struggling against the tide, take a look at what you’re trying so desperately to protect. Change, instability and growth all come with a price tag, but stagnancy is way more expensive. Love yourself through the instability of this moment, and avoid random fights that distract you from your real problems.
