All you can do is expect the unexpected in your weekly horoscope for May 12 to 18, 2024. You’re craving more freedom and autonomy as the week starts out when the sun in Taurus meets with Uranus in Taurus on May 13. This planetary connection happens once a year and always shakes you up and pushes you outside of your comfort zone. Surprising developments unfold, and you’re feeling more confident when it comes to showing up authentically and taking risks. On the same day, Venus, the planet of relationships, nestles up with Saturn in Pisces, creating a stable atmosphere ripe for making commitments in your important connections. Some couples might be ready to discuss their five-year plans, get on the same page about the next step in their relationship, or even express new boundaries. This energy also gives you the determination to follow through on creative ideas.
Mercury in Taurus will shift where your mental energy is focused—take your time when making important decisions and forming opinions. Mercury, the planet of the mind, enters Taurus on May 15, changing up what your mental energy is focused on for the next few weeks. When Mercury moves through the sign of the steadfast bull, you’d prefer to take your time before making any rash decisions and forming your opinions. This can also make people a little more stubborn, especially when it comes to their own personal values. You might also spend more time thinking about your relationships, finances, and the simple pleasures in your life.
More surprises are around the corner on May 18 when love planet Venus links up with disruptive Uranus in Taurus at the same point in the sky. You might find yourself mingling with unconventional people or hear from someone you haven’t seen in quite some time. Relationship dynamics may feel a little off: You might find yourself craving more space from a lover, or perhaps learn about a new creative opportunity that feels life-changing. On the same day, the sun and Jupiter, both in Taurus, sync up at the same point in the sky, marking a fresh cycle for your dreams, visions, perspective, and beliefs. Jupiter is a planet of luck, abundance and exaggeration, and the sun illuminates any planet it touches. Today, you might feel like you’re in the right place at the right time or learn some promising news. Watch out for inflated egos, though—it’s easy for others (including yourself) to overcommit and overpromise.
