Your Weekly Horoscope: May 14-20, 2025

Taurus
April 20-May 20
A great way of dealing with your worries and fears is by reflecting on history. Depending on your situation, you may need to reflect on your own past, on the history of a situation, or on history in a more global sense. In any case, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Learn from people and situations before you, and certainly strive to learn from your own past mistakes and successes. You don’t need to replicate past strategies, but you certainly can take inspiration from them wherever it’s helpful, Taurus.
Gemini
May 21-June 21
When you don’t have enough information to make an informed call—whether it’s about how you feel, what you think, or what you are to do next—it can really demoralize you if you’re not careful. This is not because there’s something wrong with not knowing yet, but instead because impatience can compel you to believe that the information is out there and that you should have it all, at all moments, on all topics. This is, of course, unrealistic, and this week will test your ability to sit with the unknown and remain curious, Twin Star.
Cancer
June 22-July 22
As a child of the moon, your integrity is wrapped up in your emotional honesty. The tricky part of this is that it requires that you’re honest with yourself about your feelings first and foremost, and that is just hard for most people a lot of the time. This week you may be feeling pulled in lots of directions, but the one you are meant to invest in is internal. Examine how you really feel and then hold up your emotions to your values. Feelings are not facts, but they are information.
Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
You are capable of going far, and pretty fast too, Leo. The question is: do you want to go fast and get there alone, or do you want to stay connected to others? If you push yourself in such a way that you have to leave others behind in order to get where you want to go, you are very likely going to regret that approach. Strive to come at things in a collaborative and inclusive way, even if that’s a little frustrating. It’s better to take short-term annoyances than deal with long-term problems.
Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
The details are very important, but your assignment is to consider the big picture and centre that in your thinking over all the details. Seek the truth of your situation and cultivate greater awareness and acceptance of it, just because it’s true. When you deal directly with your reality, you will not only be more effective but you will also conserve your precious energy. Strive to keep it simple and keep it honest this week, Virgo.
Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
When you’re really activated and scared about something is when it’s easiest to act out defensively in an effort to try to get ahead of whatever it is that you fear is coming. The problem with this is that you often end up being the very drama you wish to evade by behaving this way. Whatever you’re afraid is going to happen in the next hour, day, week, or month, remember that you are here right now. Ground into the present moment and deal directly and authentically with whatever needs care, now.
Scorpio
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
It’s time to let go, Scorpio, and most likely what you need to let go of is your own deep and potentially unconscious habit of abandoning yourself. It’s really hard to feel bad and stay with the feelings, but that’s exactly what you need to do this week. Not so that you can torture yourself, but instead so that you are not actively engaged in a practice of abandoning yourself in your moments of need. You don’t need to do more—try doing less. Sit with your feelings without judgment or redirection this week.
Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Boundaries aren’t just your preferences, they are the embodiment of your self-awareness. One of the trickiest parts of having healthy boundaries is honouring them yourself. Don’t waste energy trying to convince other people of your needs this week and just live in alignment with them. This may mean that you need to say no to other people or go your own way, and while that may be sticky, if it’s honest, it’s worth it, Sagittarius.
Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
You can be supportive and empathetic to others without taking on their stuff, Capricorn. You can also give advice or perceive a path that others might take while respecting that your perspectives are yours and what other people choose to do or not do is their choice to make. In other words, all you can do is take responsibility for your own self, and the more that you try to insert your take on others, the more frustrated you’re likely to feel and frustrating you’re likely to be to others this week.
Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
You may find yourself feeling pretty overwhelmed and easily triggered this week, which is absolutely no fun. The best thing that you can do is be honest with yourself about your needs and limitations. If you continue to pile on more activities and responsibilities on top of how you’re already feeling without inserting some very substantive self-care, you’re likely to act out in significant ways against yourself or others. Just because you technically can, doesn’t mean that you should. Honouring your limits is a form of self-care, Aquarius.
Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
It’s important that you have a healthy ego, and this week it’s a good idea to take some time to reflect on moments in your past when it was overactive and other moments when it was underactive. By remembering these times, you can start to track your patterns so that if or when you get triggered, you can be aware of your tendencies to overstep or understep. Love yourself enough to be honest about where you’re starting from and to nurture yourself towards wellness, Pisces.
Aries
March 21-April 19
You are likely to be feeling pretty restless and potentially even anxious this week, and as annoying as it is, the best thing you can do is sit with and tend to those emotions. If you make big moves out of defensiveness or impatience you are likely to create new problems that will only serve as a distraction from your existing ones. You don’t need to seek positivity, just drive to explore what’s constructive in the here and now, Aries.
