Scorpio

Overview

Now is a great time to take care of your health in a positive way. Get organized, track information, and walk up an extra flight of stairs. You have what it takes to make things work better for you.

Love for Singles

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Heed the instinct that tells you not to get too excited before you know more. Use your investigative powers to confirm or deny that gut feeling.

Love for Couples

At the end of the day, the fun is just beginning for you. You've got energy to spare, so grab your partner and hit the town. The sun will come up before you're ready to slow down.

Today's Career Prediction

Don't sell yourself short. One opportunity often leads to another. In fact, you have more options than you realize. All you have to do is keep your eyes open and maintain a willing attitude.

Overview

You could find it’s easier to pinpoint a way to pursue your big picture professional goals on a more regular, day-to-day basis at the start of the week. Tweaking your schedule ever so slightly in this direction could make for major success. Later, you can expect your calendar to be packed with events, networking opportunities, lunches, and other social commitments. Although you’ll want to RSVP yes to just about everything that comes your way, figuring out which invites are the most pertinent can keep you feeling happy and healthy as you navigate a busy time.

Love

You're on a self-improvement kick this week. On Monday and Tuesday, you're focused on your body, a new yoga class, a new cardio routine, something like that. On Wednesday and Thursday, you're focused on a relationship, most likely a romantic one, though if you're not with anyone right now it could be a friend or ally. In any case, this relationship needs a fresh jolt. Do something brave together. Friday and Saturday have nothing to do with romance, although dinner in an unusual spot (a great date idea) figures on Sunday.

Travel

You might just meet your match on the road at the beginning of the week, whether that means a worthy business competitor, a love interest or just a seatmate who can actually hold up their end of the conversation. Keep the daredevil-style stuff to a minimum between Tuesday and Thursday; trying an extreme sport, venturing off the beaten path or otherwise tempting fate isn't a good idea now. But this weekend your instincts are spot on -- and letting go of controlling tendencies allows you to uncover parts of your destination you'd otherwise miss.

This Week's Career Prediction

This person you're up against on Monday and Tuesday might be more sure of their opinion than you are of yours. Their opposition is frustrating, but the way to overcome it might be, paradoxically, to give in. When all is said and done, the record will reflect where you stood. On Wednesday and Thursday, when it comes to contracts and details (and, especially, other people's money), be as careful as possible so as not to miss anything. On Friday and continuing into the weekend, things will finally start to go your way. No need to be controlling, what with the world aligning so well with what you want.

Overview

Exploring Relationships

Scorpio, this is a month of celestial shifts and exciting possibilities. The sun’s presence in Taurus and your relationship zone is a chance to ground your feelings through practical and heartwarming gestures. The sun will be here until May 20, along with sensual Venus, which changes signs three days later. This is great opportunity to collaborate, work as a team, and explore possibilities for partnerships, whether they’re romantic or more formal. You’ll thrive when you work alongside others as opposed to going solo.

Be prepared for the new moon in Taurus on the seventh, because its pearly rays will encourage you to reflect on new beginnings. Where in your relationships or partnerships do you see the potential for a fresh start? Taking a romance to the next level or negotiating a deal can be rewarding and feel intuitively like the right step forward.

You’ll be busy at work as assertive Mars continues its journey through spontaneous Aries. There’s no holding you back, and you’ll be ready to hit the ground running and build momentum with important plans and projects. You’ll have a surplus of energy, so exercise might be the key to channeling it productively.

On May 20, there’s a shift as the inquisitive energy of Gemini becomes more prominent. The sun glides into this lively sign that day and remains here for around a month. You’ll be ready to communicate, especially in those areas that will have the most profound effect on your life. Finances, business, and deep-seated emotional issues are all grist for the mill.

Avoid splurging around the time of the full moon in Sagittarius on the twenty-third—it could be very tempting to do so. Those bright, shiny objects might seem to call out to you, especially if you need a boost. Keep any receipts just in case you feel a bit of buyer’s remorse the next day.

Finally, expansive Jupiter moves into Gemini and your sector of business and shared resources on May 25. This hints that the coming year will be rich with the potential for greater abundance and financial success.

Love

When your mysterious co-leader Pluto heads retrograde in airy Aquarius on May 2, you’re ready to reflect logically—almost analytically—on what you’ve been through these past few months. You can’t ever remain entirely emotionless, but taking a cerebral perspective helps during this reflective planetary passage.

On the third, your co-leaders Mars and Pluto form an optimistic sextile, giving you the determination and stamina to approach your relationship goals with strength and convictions. Other people can try to stop you from being happy, but when it comes to love, you always find a way to overcome big obstacles.

Wise asteroid Pallas is retrograde when it backs into your intense sign on the sixteenth, darkening your first house with suspicion and doubt. It’s possible that an assumption you made about a current or potential lover will be confirmed now, causing disappointment and confusion. Don’t take anyone or anything at face value.

When the sun partners with carefree Gemini on May 20, you become even more curious about someone. You realize you don’t know all there is to know about a crush or lover and it’s driving you crazy. What will it take to satisfy your inquiring mind, Scorpio?

This Month's Career Prediction

This month, you will find that work is intense and you will want to focus on your professional life. You have innate determination and a strategic mindset. Projects may seem impossible right now, Scorpio, but you have what it takes to see them through.

Use some of that on May 7, when there is a new moon in Taurus. You are likely to excel in your endeavors at that time. Trust your instincts and leverage your keen perception to identify opportunities that are worth it as well as navigating through challenges with ease.

With Jupiter entering Gemini on the twenty-fifth, you will make significant progress toward your long-term goals. Although you struggle with collaboration, the sun entering Gemini on May 20 will put you at ease. You will be able to balance your intensity with diplomacy.
