Weekly Horoscope: April 27 – May 03, 2020

Things start off strong on Monday when Mercury (planet of communication) moves into Taurus­—where its presence can encourage practical thinking, especially around financial security. This can be an opportunity to plan and get our money to work harder for us.

There could be a feeling of self-doubt on Tuesday, though, as the planet of talk and thought angles toward Saturn (planet of time and foundation). While this is a temporary aspect, it might encourage an examination of any weak spots in financial planning as a way to resolve them.

On Thursday, Mercury aligns with Uranus (planet of change), which could have an opposite effect as we may see some splurging on impulsive buys. A few treats can be great if there’s a spending limit.

Finally, on Sunday, Venus (planet of love) in Gemini makes an uncomfortable angle to Neptune (planet of illusion), so something may not be quite as it seems. This isn’t the best time to go along with someone’s scheme or plan, because it would be easy to lose more than gain.
