By month’s end, Venus is your best friend, encouraging you to open up and express your true feelings in an important relationship. You don’t need to lay it all out there like a season finale drama, but skipping the small talk for something real? That’s where the magic happens. Keep it genuine, keep it you.

Keeping your sense of humour will help you sail through any stormy seas. As the month closes, kick back, enjoy life and soak up some quality time with friends who elevate your spirits.

May puts professional, personal and financial partnerships in the limelight. You’re about to get selective about who gets the inside scoop on your life and who’s your go-to in a pinch. The cosmos is on your side, aiming to upgrade the calibre of your circle. On the financial front, a wise ally could be the key to growing your money tree.

Either way, you are setting the stage for prosperity.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22–DECEMBER 21)

horoscope-Sagittarius

From May 26, Jupiter sends a wave of support to your relationships, promising growth into next year. Elevating your love life might mean saying farewell to what no longer serves your journey, making space for someone extraordinary. For singles, this period hints at a meaningful connection. Couples facing challenges find strength in commitment, thanks to Jupiter’s boost, but it might signal a parting of ways for others. Regardless, the lucky planet’s influence assures a promising horizon. Love, after all, propels you forward – either together or apart – towards personal growth.

Skip the extravagant dates; this month the real magic happens in the comfort of your home. It’s about the simple, shared moments that weave deeper connections.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20–FEBRUARY 18)

Just as you were getting used to Pluto’s vibe in your sign, it throws a curveball with its retrograde starting May 3. Review any changes since January and pinpoint what you’d like to tweak. This planetary backspin is your cosmic push to reflect and realign. The full moon on May 23 illuminates a friend’s dilemma, and you might feel a tug of responsibility for their situation.
