The thrilling weekend finally comes to an end and a busy week is ahead so let’s see what stars have stored in for you in Your weekly Astro prediction by the World renowned Astro writer Joanne Madeline Moore.
Horoscope (May 01, 2017- May 07, 2017)
ARIES [March 21-April 20]
Be very clear in the way you explain things to others early in the week. Otherwise, you are likely to get your wires crossed and your meaning will be scrambled. Then Mercury goes directly [in your sign] so communication should start to improve from Thursday onwards, Aim to be mentally and physically active on the weekend. Mighty Mars is activating your restless gene so it’s time to converse, discuss, study, travel, exercise, play sport and/or explore the great outdoors.
TAURUS [April 21-May 21]
Avoid being a gullible Bull early in the week, when Mercury is still retrograde and someone may try to pull the wool over your eyes. Stay alert. And aim to channel the mid-week Sun/Neptune energy into creative, spiritual or humanitarian pursuits. But the more you dig your heels in and refuse to budge, the more frustrating the weekend will be. So strive to be flexible; keep the lines of communication open; put on your adaptability hat … and expect the unexpected!
GEMINI [May 22-June 21]
Thank goodness Mercury [your patron planet] finally goes direct on Wednesday. So communication, conversation, business, education and travel should all start to improve as the week progresses. If you take the time to communicate clearly with family and friends, you’ll [eventually] reap the rewards. But unpredictable Uranus will still throw some surprises into the mix! So think before you speak and – if you find yourself compelled to spread secrets – just zip your lips!
CANCER [June 22-July 23]
Crabs can be a selfish lot, as you become self-absorbed with your feelings, moods, dreams and daily dramas. But, with the Sun and Neptune highlighting your humanitarian side, it’s a wonderful week to re-connect with others, roll up your sleeves, and help those around you. Be inspired by fellow Cancerian, Princess Diana “Everyone has the potential to give something back.” Plus a problem at work should gradually improve, as Mercury moves forwards in your career zone.
LEO [July 24-Aug 23]
It’s a good week to set gigantic goals and dream big dreams for the future – and don’t make them too practical and pedestrian! It’s time for cautious Cats and languid Lions to go for gold as the Sun shines in your career zone [and aspects Neptune] giving you a sensational shot of creative confidence. On the weekend, be careful how you communicate with a loved one or work colleague as they will be inclined to interpret your well-meaning comments as unfair criticism.
VIRGO [Aug 24-Sep 23]
Active Virgos to the rescue! The mid-week Sun/Neptune trine highlights your helpful nature and your strong desire to be of service to others. But, before you jump in, just make sure other people require your assistance. And, if you are too quick to critique others on the weekend, then you could find yourself with a fractious friend [or a livid lover] on your hands. Praise and encouragement will get you a lot further than criticism, no matter how ‘constructive’ it is.
LIBRA [Sep 24-Oct 23]
Retrograde Mercury confuses love and communication early in the week, so be careful you’re not viewing people and partnerships through ridiculously rose-coloured glasses. Attached Librans – when it comes to a major goal, make sure you and your sweetheart are on the same page. Singles – can you differentiate a dream date from a disappointing dud? You’ll start to see things more clearly from Thursday onwards when Mercury powers forwards in your relationship zone.
SCORPIO [Oct 24-Nov 22]
A close friend or family member is looking to you for sensitive emotional support, inspirational ideas or personal encouragement. Not criticism or sarcastic comments. So slip on your compassionate hat and adjust your approach accordingly. And – if you’ve got a personal problem that’s worrying you – don’t bottle things up inside Scorpio. Have the courage to show some vulnerability, speak your truth, and say what’s really on your mind. Especially from Thursday onwards.
SAGITTARIUS [Nov 23-Dec 21]
This week’s Saturn aspects could exacerbate an existing problem in a relationship. Try not to take things too personally. The more defensive you are, the more difficult the week will be. A creative project takes off from Thursday onwards, as Mercury finally moves forwards and your imagination soars. But there could be some domestic dramas on the weekend when you frustrate [or annoy] a family member with your boisterous behavior. Strive to be much more sensitive.
CAPRICORN [Dec 22-Jan 20]
Your perfectionist side is likely to go into overdrive, as Saturn amps up your obsession with perfection. But the more you slip into Capricorn control-freak mode, the more problems you’ll encounter with others [and you certainly won’t win any popularity polls]. Cool compromise and plenty of patience are the secrets to domestic harmony at the moment. You’ll find the more compassionate you are towards a close friend or family member, the more meaningful the week will be.
AQUARIUS [Jan 21-Feb 19]
The Sun is moving through earthy Taurus, which helps to stabilise your electric Aquarian energy. So it’s a wonderful week to take innovative ideas and turn them into practical projects, especially involving home, family and/or finances. And with Mercury, Venus and Uranus visiting your community zone, there is much enjoyment and friendship to be found in your local neighbourhood. But make sure you take the time to really listen to what others have to say.
PISCES [Feb 20-March 20]
This week Neptune encourages you to get involved in charitable work with a global reach or help someone closer to home in your local community. Creative inspiration and intuitive insights are also highlighted but don’t get so carried away that you delude yourself and head into the realm of pure fantasy. Keep it real Pisces. There will also be opportunities to share your personal hopes and dreams for the future with like-minded people, both in person and online.
