Waning Moon Horoscopes by Sign
May Horoscopes 15th-31st
Aries—Your inclination is usually to just get on with it, but this week be prepared for that feeling to be extra extra. You are not interested in passing go, you don’t give a shit about your two hundred dollars and you most certainly do not want to talk about whatever it is that you have decided to get over. In your heart of hearts you just want it to be done with so that you can get on with more interesting things. That’s good for now, but just expect that this issue will come up again at some point. So you can run for now, but you can’t hide forever.
Taurus—Your head, your heart and your intuition are speaking three separate languages right now, so expect to be incredibly uncomfortable for a little while. Your famous decision making prowess is in conflict with your need to stay inside a comforting routine, and your goals are coming up against some old wounds from the past. You won’t be able to rely on habitual patterns that have gotten you to this point. Take this week to strip it all down and review everything from soup to nuts. A slight pivot is all you need.
Gemini—Late this week the Sun moves into your sign, which gives you a great opportunity to put anything to rights in your life that feels off center. With Mercury in retrograde in your sign as well, you are being given a chance to look at the interactions between all aspects of your life. Now is the time to fine tune the balance between work goals, friendships, networks and home life so that they all function harmoniously with one another. Expect some mild discomfort as you more easily sense the problems than see them, and feel pressed to get on with it even as you know that more time is needed. One the Sun hits Gemini on Saturday, you will feel it all click into place, so don’t worry. Just let those feelings ebb and flow and you will be just fine.
Cancer—You may feel on high alert this week, with your Spidey senses tingling around every bend. This is because your emotions and intuitions are traveling some deep waters, causing you to question everybody who has an emotional influence in your life. Instead of getting caught up in the drama of that, use it to dove deeper into yourself. Explore the outer boundaries of your intuitive abilities, check in with your connections to others, sense if you are sacrificing any piece of your autonomy. Your ability to manifest bounty for your family is enormous, but is that coming at a sacrifice of your own personal goals or ideals? Balance this out and find harmony in your daily habits between your needs and the needs of your beloved others. Speak your truth and ask for what you need.
Leo—Your eyes are on your dollars and your dreams this week, and you may find that they don’t currently line up well. Resist the urge to sink underwater and let these feelings of conflict turn into feelings of futility. This stall is not an indication of failure, but rather an opportunity to realign your money goals with your personal life goals. Right now they are slightly off-center, but with just a few minor clarifications, you will see them line up and start to roll. The trick is to take it one step at a time. Speak clearly and deliberately and don’t be afraid of what you want. When the sun lines up with mercury retrograde late this week, you will actually find it easier to plan for the long term. So don’t be dissuaded by minor blips; it will all work out.
Virgo—You may have to traverse covered ground as the week gets rolling, going back over things you thought had been resolved. This may feel frustrating at first, but it can actually become quite liberating as you review the binomial tree to trace paths taken and pathways that could have been taken to see how your logic plays out. This review will give you a chance to make new decisions in better ways going forward, which will play into your natural desire to collect data and create efficiency. Take none of these old decisions as either good or bad, they are just data points that help move you forward.
Libra—Take a big breath this week, Libra, and let it all go. The stress of the last couple of weeks is taking a break and you can lean into a grand sense of fuck it. Nothing much will demand your emotional investment, and your work as a personal diplomat is not required. Spend the time doing what you want when you want. Have fun, go shopping, dine out and enjoy the good life while you can. This is a well-earned break, so take it while the taking is good.
Scorpio—It looks like you may trip yourself up this week and land yourself into a nasty stew bred of old habits and fears. Your ability to hear things unsaid and feel things under the surface are actually bubbling on a boil that is ready to boil over. Thing is, the extra senses you are employing are actually malfunctioning, causing you to see lies where there are none, and betrayals that do not exist. This is a seminal moment for you to work through some of your darker aspects and to see how the subtle cues you rely on may actually be compromising your personal power instead of augmenting it. So take a look at your habits in this area and carefully calculate how any past betrayals may be setting a baseline for you that is unhealthy and ultimately unhelpful. Its time to get real with yourself and move on to develop better methods.
Sagittarius—There is a little bit of conflict here between your desire to get back out there and see the world with your need to make sure that everything is settled at home before you do. This is creating some impatience and frustration that results in thwarted actions that just end up pissing off all parties involved. So instead of pushing to book a trip and run away to parts unknown, take a mental journey instead. Buy a new book, take up a new language, or dig deeper into your meditation practice. The urge to GTFO is real, I get it. But the time is not now, not yet. So turn those famous Sagittarius wandering powers inward and take a philosophical journey instead.
Capricorn—Your notorious independence mellows for a while and you actually start to seek ways to be more in the flow with family and friends. Your drive to work and your push toward success takes a moment to reflect and reassess as the Retrograded Pluto in your home house hits up a retrograded Mercury. It feels like you can’t really get anywhere anyway, so why not take the time to hang out with friends? Spend the time dreaming of bigger things and talk about these dreams with the people who know you best and love you most. Backing off of the goal for while will actually do you miles of good.
Aquarius—Aquarians are notoriously laid back, probably because you are so adept at seeing the big picture. But there are times—rare times indeed—when an Aquarius loses their shit and gets really, really pissed. Well, there is potential for that this week as somebody in your close network crosses some very important line with you. What that line is is not clear, but it feels to you like they threaten your autonomy or your ability to care for yourself in the fashion that is healthiest for you. Be prepared for a seismic shift in perspective when it comes to this situation; what you once believed to be true is indeed not true. When the smoke clears from your detonation, you will feel ready to restructure but that may take longer than you like. Sit in the pocket if you can for a while—at least until you can get back into the big picture again.
Pisces—You have had a sense of something for a while now, but you haven’t been able to put your finger on it. Be prepared for an ‘aha’ moment this week as something leaps up out of the proverbial closet and comes clear at last. And while all of this clarity is great for you, you don’t quite know what to do with it. I suggest doing nothing, actually, because even as the reality becomes clear, the path out of it remains shrouded. Any action you take will not work out the way you think it will, and this can cause you to jeopardize healthy behaviours on the altar of hasty decisions. So instead of leaning into your feelings or your intuition, wait a few days and try to be more analytical about the whole thing. The pressure will ease off soon.
