Your Weekly Horoscope: Hiding from Drama Like…

May 13 – May 19, 2019

Things are moving quickly, slowly, then quickly again. Prepare for bigger shifts at the beginning of the week, with an emphasis on speaking our truth midweek. Plus, a full moon in a saucy sign is headed our way this weekend, which always seems to mess things up.

The week starts off strong on Monday as the sun forges a positive angle with powerful Pluto (planet of transformation). This might encourage us to move forward with key decisions that could usher in positive changes.

On Tuesday, relationships could flourish as a lovely tie between sweet Venus (planet of pleasure and love) and dynamic Mars (planet of passion) encourages those “feel good” vibes and heightens the potential for romance.

Midweek, get ready for a more slow-moving attitude. Venus enters Taurus, where she feels very much at home. The sensuous energy could encourage everyone to slow down and smell the roses. On the same day, fiery Mars moves into homey Cancer, which could bring family matters to the fore. It might also be a chance to work through any lingering issues from childhood.

The full moon on Saturday adds a buoyant note to the weekend. As it’s in Scorpio, though, it could also bring intensity and some drama into the mix, so think before speaking or acting on impulse. (If you’re a little worried, we made a detox bath ritual for this full moon to keep the bad vibes out.)
