WEEK OF May 20 – 26, 2024

Tap your team, nudge your social circles, and get those last to-do’s done ASAP! On Monday, May 20, the Sun disembarks from Taurus and your teamwork and technology zone and plunges into Gemini and your twelfth house of rest, introspection and healing for four weeks. This is the final phase of your astrological year, a good time to “clean house,” literally and metaphorically, so you can start your personal new year with a clean, blank slate. This is a great cycle for slowing down and devoting yourself to personal projects, especially of an emotional or imaginative nature. With this internal focus, reflect on whether you might have hurt someone’s feelings or not paid them enough attention, and if so, make amends. And if someone slighted YOU, see if they’re ready to do the same. Keep a notebook or recording app close at hand during this transit. The muse will be in the house, and divine downloads could strike at any moment! 


Do you keep missing the wellness wagon, accidentally or on purpose? Fear not. Just lace up your trainers and flag it down! Thursday’s skies feature only the full moon in sporty Sagittarius and your sixth house of health, fitness and daily routines. And Venus joins the Sun that same day, intensifying your Gemini solar power until June 17. This lunar lift blasts you with the motivation to start a new regimen—and stick with it! Taking care of yourself is the foundation of a happy and healthy life. Whether your goal is to get stronger, tame the stress monster or improve your energy issues, an underlying imbalance is the likely culprit. Over the next month, book overdue medical appointments, commit to regular movement and load up on plant-based goodies. For Cancers who HAVE been prioritizing self-care, your body might be ready for a mild detox, in which you cut out—or cut way back on—dairy, meat, alcohol and sugar or other vices of choice.

On Saturday, expansive, exploratory Jupiter joins the Sun and Venus in Gemini and your twelfth house of fantasy and transitions for a year. From now until June 9, 2025, you may undergo profound transformation. The twelfth house invites you to surrender and let life carry you along on a fantastic voyage. With Jupiter in this mysterious zone, life could float you to some remote places in a quest for true love, the pursuit of a creative passion, even on a spiritual pilgrimage. Begging the question: Are you ready to let go of a job, relationship or other situation that you’ve outgrown? Like a powerful life coach, the jovial planet will hold your hand every step of the way, cheering you on and helping you segue into a far more fulfilling direction. You might want to hire a human coach, mentor or other guide who can talk and walk you through any changes you’re making. Working with an executive recruiter can help you land your dream job with an appropriate salary and benefits package. No more settling for less than what you deserve, Cancer. Your creative, poetic nature will blossom during this Jupiter phase. If you have something (or someone) to mourn, working with a therapist or grief counselor can help immensely. There’s no better time than now to start or return to a meditation or yoga practice.
