Horoscope: May 15, 2017
Your stars today
Aries | March 20 – April 18
While no sign will benefit more from this week’s rare and powerful link between Saturn and Uranus, which is actually positioned in Aries, you won’t necessarily spot how you’ll profit right away. It may, in fact, seem you’re losing control. In a way, it’s true. Still, the outcome will be worth it.
Taurus | April 19 – May 19
Unsettling as the events reshaping elements of your life may be, your instincts are correctly telling you they’re in your best interests. The trick is to explore absolutely everything, even what seems impractical or unrealistic. With changes taking place so swiftly, it’s vital you be flexible. What’s least expected could work out best.
Gemini | May 20 – June 20
Again and again you’ve watched others take the process of decision-making far too seriously, and as a result struggle, while you’ve focused on flexible arrangements. Once again, this isn’t just wise, it will make your life a lot easier as this week’s rather dramatic developments unfold. You’ll finalise decisions, but much later.
Cancer | June 21 – July 21
Because last Wednesday’s Full Moon brought both practical matters and situations involving family, loved ones or close friends to a head, you’ve faced a series of challenges and learnt a lot. Ironically, these insights won’t just have been informative, you’ll be prepared to take advantage of this week’s stunning ideas and offers.
Leo | July 22 – August 21
Last week’s link between your ruler the Sun and powerful Pluto will both have boosted your spirits and led to useful insights about already complicated matters. Now, however, you’re less confident about what to do next. With so much exciting but unsettling taking place, the answer is wait and watch.
Virgo | August 22 – September 21
After a lengthy battle, it would appear you’ve not only overcome the questions of others about your plans or ideas, you’ve won them over. Tempting as it is to discuss this, your time’s far better spent focusing on plans you’ll be undertaking together, and discussing who will take responsibility for what.
Libra | September 22 – October 22
When, in late April, your ruler Venus moved into the portion of your chart that accents relationships, personal and professional, you began a challenging cycle. However, this isn’t about problems but, rather, learning to back off and allow others to make decisions, and to say nothing, even if they’re wrong.
Scorpio | October 23 – November 21
There’s no way around both the heightened feelings and issues triggered by the Scorpio Full Moon, on the 10th. However, because you’ve had some time to reflect on these, you’re beginning to realise the real issue was your concerns about how to handle these, far more, in fact, than the actual situations themselves.
Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20
The last thing you’re in the mood to do is go over existing plans in detail or, worse, organise arrangements with those who’re obsessive about such matters. But it would appear that you’ve no choice. Ironically, once you’re actually involved, you’ll not only realise how important this is, you’ll find the process fascinating.
Capricorn | December 21 – January 18
This week’s thrilling. On Friday, your ruler Saturn forms a link with inventive Uranus, the second in a series of three, the last of which is in November. That being the case, investigate everything, knowing it’s about growth and exploration, not just for now but for the rest of the year.
Aquarius | January 19 – February 17
Having just battled with certain always difficult individuals, you wouldn’t mind having a few quiet days. You’ll get them, but only if you’re willing to allow others to make decisions about potentially far reaching changes in your life. Strange as this seems, they’re better informed than you, so are reliable.
Pisces | February 18 – March 19
While you may not have fully dealt with the fallout from last week’s clash between volatile Mars and your ruler Neptune, it’s time to move on. In fact, judging by this next few days’ events, you’ll be kept busy exploring ideas and offers and, equally, considering how they’ll fit with existing arrangements.
