Weekly Horoscope: May 16–22, 2022
Though the full moon in Scorpio reached its peak in the wee hours of Monday (or the very last ones of Sunday), its effects will be felt throughout the day and even the week as the collective digs deep into the heavy lessons of the lunation. What have we been unnecessarily holding onto? We’re sure to spend the next few weeks shedding our skins and other dead weight.
At the same time, this week will act as a harbinger of fresh energy, as Friday has us bidding adieu to sweet Taurus season for that of Gemini. Jokesters stand up because it’s you guys’ time to shine! While Taurus season saw us toiling, the sign of the Twins gives us full permission to let loose a little more!
However, the Taurean energy isn’t as gone, as Mercury‘s (planet of communication) retrograde motion pushes the planet back into the sign of the Bull on Sunday. So, beware of inflexibility both on your own part and that of others — and of course, the expected communication mishaps that such a retrograde tends to bring forth.
Your Zodiac Sign’s Weekly Horoscope
Aries
While the sign of the Twins is sure to talk up a storm over the next few weeks, you’re sure to be a close second for chattiest sign, as the sun plops into your communication zone this Friday. While intellectual and even creative juices begin to flow, keep the retrograde energy in mind. You’re hardly the sign best known for forethought, so it’d behoove you to think (and think again) before you speak.

Taurus
All things must pass, Taurus — even the splendor that is your season. But don’t fret, as Mercury’s retrograde gives it another round in your sign — for better or worse. While Mercury in your sign is usually useful for you, the backward motion makes things a bit wonky. So, you in particular may want to be warier of miscommunications and failed first impressions during this time, as the planet will be in your appearance and impressions zone.

Live a little more, but stay on your toes.
