Horoscope: May 22, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18

By no means are you secretive. Yet when things are too complicated, you’ll sometimes sidestep talking them over because you know it will take ages and achieve little. While that’s true, if you ignore certain of these matters for too long, what are currently minor issues will soon turn into major ones.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19

Last week the planet of ideas and communication, Mercury, moved into Taurus. This encourages you to reflect on certain plans you agreed to some months ago and, equally, indicates it’s time to discuss new and possibly, unexpected suggestions. Explore these in depth. The more you learn, the more you’ll benefit.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20

Thrilling as recent ideas or offers were, they’ve meant rethinking elements of your life you’ve worked hard to organise. Still, if you can’t get excited about making these changes, begin asking questions and do a bit of exploring. Once you’ve learnt more, the odds are good you’ll become increasingly enthusiastic.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21

Often, when confronted by with frustrating situations, you wish somebody would take things over. But now that events are paving the way for exactly that, you’re not only less enthusiastic, you’re anxious. That’s because you fear others aren’t well enough informed to deal wisely with decisions. Discuss this frankly, and soon.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Over the past few weeks you may have accomplished a lot but at the cost of time spent with those you care about most. Now that your ruler the Sun has moved into the portion of your chart that accents exactly these close relationships, you should have no trouble establishing a new balance.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Last Saturday, the Sun’s move to accent the structure of your life began a cycle of analysis and questioning, one that will be furthered by Thursday’s New Moon, which will usher in timely if unexpected ideas. For now, focus on what could go, to clear the way for the exciting developments yet to come.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Recent developments may have been exciting but taking advantage of them would involve rethinking a number of existing arrangements. Still, tempting as it is to put these off, you know you’d regret it. You’re right. In fact, the sooner you actually undertake these, the clearer it will be how wise they are.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



When the events triggered by the recent alliance between Saturn and the planet of the unexpected, Uranus, first arose, you were concerned, if not seriously worried. Since then, however, you’ve recognised these as breakthroughs, if in an unexpected form. Knowing that, explore them. The more you learn, the more excited you’ll be.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20

Every New Moon is about a fresh perspective, and because the current one accents close alliances, personal and professional, those who’ve been dragging their feet or, perhaps, avoiding certain commitments entirely could change their attitude, and overnight. Tempting as it is to ask why, it would be unwise. Just be thankful they’ve agreed.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Superb as the ideas, offers or events triggered by the recent stunning link between your ruler Saturn and creative Uranus were, you’re short of facts. While, ordinarily, you’d be wise to avoid committing until you know more, things are moving swiftly. Knowing that, make plans but ensure changes can be easily made.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17

While every sign will have benefitted from the recent link between Saturn and Uranus, because the latter is your ruler, you’ll be amazed what’s coming your way. Although much of what arises will be recognisable as worthwhile, other developments won’t necessarily be as obvious. Knowing that, explore absolutely every idea or offer.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



The current crop of amazing planetary aspects is beneficial to you, but you’re also trying to link up certain individuals who’ve been struggling with these opportunities. Generous and, indeed, noble as your intentions are, these developments are for you, and you alone. If they appear for others, it’s up to them to respond.
