Weekly Horoscope: May 2–8, 2022

This week, we shake off some of the last vestiges of Piscean energy as Venus leaves the sign of the Fish for that of the Ram on Monday. The last few weeks may have seen the collective dreaming of our true love’s kiss and fairytale endings. Now, Venus (the planet of love) in Aries demands that we chase after the love for which we’ve been yearning — no more daydreams! Make way for action and passion, but don’t expect longevity, as Venus in Aries brings with it a “here for a good time not a long time” sort of energy.

Beyond Venus’ hijinks, we can expect quite a few astrological goings-on. Wednesday finds Mars (the planet of action) in Pisces in a sextile with Uranus (the planet of sudden change) in Taurus. But there’s no need to sweat the usually disorienting effects of Uranus. Expect the unexpected, but don’t fear it.

Finally, Thursday brings a transit that comes around only once a year: the sun-Uranus conjunction. The collective is being given the astrological go-ahead to take a walk on the wild side and break free from the status quo — but with style, given the Taurean influence.

Aries

You may feel like your in bloom this week, Aries. Venus makes her debut in your go-getter sign, shining a light on your self and appearance zone. So, go on with your bad self!

You never know who you’ll happen upon during your adventures!

It’s your world, and we’re just living in it, Taurus. However, even the most stubborn Bulls can be made to move, and that’s your reality this week with the Mars-Uranus and sun-Uranus transits.

Take advantage of it, and try something new!

Gemini

What’s going on in that pretty little head of yours, Gemini? I imagine that’s a bit of a loaded question considering your Mercurial nature, but there’s a metric ton of Taurean energy bobbling around in the murky waters of your subconscious zone. I imagine that things are a little emotionally confusing at the moment. However, don’t fret. Uranus’ waltz with the sun and Mars this week may gift you with a moment of insight that’ll illuminate your troubles.

Cancer

You are who you surround yourself with, Cancer. The planet of radical change continues its sojourn in your networking zone and makes a few contacts with inner planets. So, expect a shake up regarding your friend groups or how you approach friendships on the whole. Your heart is huge, but are you giving your love and affection to the right people? With the eclipse in the rearview, this will remain a subject for contemplation in the coming weeks.

Now, no one is telling you to quite — especially not right before next week’s Mercury retrograde — but you can definitely switch things up. Cast another eye to that freelance position or professsional certification because it’s time for elevation!

Throughout Venus’ stay in Pisces, things on the home front were probably a little dreamy and fastastical, Capricorn.
