Your Weekly Horoscopes Are Here! May 29th – June 5th

Prepare for a new direction, Taurus

If you celebrate your birthday this week:

Your Year Ahead

Set out into this new birthday season confident that somebody up there likes you; so different from recent months when, against all odds you survived several crises.  June brings a swan song for one more important aspect in your life. A career connection may dissolve, a friend may relocate, or you might move.  Whatever occurs, take it in your stride.  The expression “when one door closes another opens” rings true.  So why not leave all trauma behind? There are many new opportunities out there, just begging for the taking.  Expand your CV, Gemini.  Mars helps by sneaking you into the right place at the right time.  The rest is up to you.

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Best Day: Monday 1st

Life becomes more erratic, as close friends or family seem to challenge your every word.  Home renovations could also take some hair-raising twists, or electronics go haywire.  On some level, though, these disruptions could reflect your inner need for more emotional freedom or change.  No need to second guess your thoughts – your instincts are spot-on.  

Taurus (April 21 – May 20)

Best Day: Friday 29th

Fate, in it’s wisdom, is pointing you in a new direction – one that may feel less secure that you’d like but which is nevertheless precisely what you need.  Don’t fight the inevitable, Taurus.  Go with the flow, and you’ll soon arrive at a destination that looks strangely familiar. You’re in for a delightful surprise.  

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

Best Day:  Sunday 31st

Sometimes we have to live through unpleasant or frustrating situations, but if we wait long enough, a reason for that experience usually reveals itself.  This is especially important to remember this week, particularly if you’re feeling unsure of what to do.  Life is full of buried treasures, Gemini.   Chances are, you’re sitting on some hidden gems this week.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Best Day:  Wednesday 3rd

It’s a week to find peace and quiet, Cancer.  Trust your instincts and understand that you need to give your mind, body and spirit time to rest and recover.  No matter how much you’re being pushed to take action, stop and be still.  Calm your mind – stop it from racing.  Failure to do so may result in illness not far down the line.  

Leo (July 23 – August 23)

Best Day:  Tuesday 2nd

It doesn’t matter whether you focus current attentions on moving house, career or long term love, you can expect some changes – mostly positive.  Some say you’re impatient.  Possibly, but only regarding the trivialities of life.  The strong resolve you’ve had to call on in recent weeks will now make you much more confident.  You won’t be disappointed.

Virgo (August 24 – September 22)

Best Day:  Sunday 31st

If there’s one thing you’ve learned recently, it’s that you can survive – despite all the cliff-edge challenges you’ve had to endure.  Hardly surprising.  Even when times get tough, earthy Virgos maintain their practicality and persistence – tremendous assets in this busy week when instinct and intellect make a powerful duo.  

Libra (September 23 – October 23)

Best Day:  Thursday 4th

Endless stress has chipped away at the Libran spirit.  Right now, a good portion of humanity is feeling very tetchy, with many brewing up to a tiff.  You could save yourself problems by taking a few days break, alone.  Sometimes this whole business of social isolation comes in handy.  The other trick is to become invisible.  Tread softly.

Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)

Best Day: Friday 29th

No one has a completely drama free existence – we all make mistakes.  Consider, though, that errors of judgement are simply learning tools towards self awareness and wisdom.  So don’t be swamped by remorse or disappointment.  Discard what’s no longer needed in your life.   Forgive others, and yourself.

Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)

Best Day:  Tuesday 2nd

Deciding whether or not to give someone another shot is a challenge this week. Expect some uneven bursts of emotion, as you initially succeed in going with the flow, only to perhaps have a reality check dash your hopes. You might also get mixed signals and wonder whether or not you’re making a mistake.  For now, it could be hard to tell.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20) 

Best Day:  Saturday 30th

Thanks to a fever-pitched Mars, it’s a week when major conflict can grow out of minor issues – so douse any flames of aggression.  On the positive side this fiesty planet gives you the courage to ask for what you want, even if you were previously refused.  Your ideas and actions strengthen.  Warning:  avoid being combative when in close quarters.

Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)

Best Day:  Friday 29th

An unexpected chance to cash in enables enterprising Aquarians to make the best of negotiating skills. There’s a strong emphasis on money and property. This period also brings you to a crucial emotional crunch. For a while now, you’ve been battling with restriction.  And you’ve worn it well.  By late week, expect a surprise.  

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Best Day:  Monday 1st

It’s hard to know whether your irrepressible nature is endearing or irresponsible, but it seems you’re determined to take a proverbial leap of faith.  Having staked a claim on better opportunities, you’re ready to prove your talents.  This week, you have the ability to attract and win over any person or situation to your advantage.
