Venus Enters Aries: Here’s Your Horoscope for the Week of May 2

Venus enters the fiery sign of Aries this Monday (May 2) which may inspire feelings of intense passion towards things we love, enjoy, and hold close to our hearts. During this period, expect to work extra hard to pursue romantic affairs and keep that fire alive in your relationships!

Here’s how the energies of this planetary transit will affect you this week:

Aries (March 21 to April 19)

Some plans you’ve laid out are getting ruined and it’s left you feeling frustrated. Instead of stressing over what went wrong, focus instead on what small steps you can take right now to move you forward again. Seek comfort in the things that make you feel at home. When things get too overwhelming, welcome fun and joy into your life.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Things don’t seem to be going so well for you at the moment, but that doesn’t mean you should panic. Feeling stuck and lost is normal, and these obstacles are only temporary. The opportunities you are waiting for will come eventually—you just have to be patient and keep your chin up! Let it all unfold in time. For now, just lay low and relax.

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

Forces outside of your control are taking a hold of your life at the moment but though you may feel discouraged by them, you know that you are capable of overcoming them. Don’t let these difficult moments question your self-worth; instead, grow and learn from them. Not all changes are bad, after all.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Right now, you might be feeling unimpressed with the way other people are handling current situations and you’re more than ready to challenge them. However, be conscious of how you speak your mind! At the same time, don’t let others judge you for your thoughts and ideas. Most importantly, remember not to isolate yourself just because you feel like no one agrees with you.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

You feel like there’s lack of balance in your life due to mismanagement of your priorities. Work hard but give way for leisure; be generous to others but learn when to put your needs first; and know which opportunities to say yes and no to. Also, you are rich with talent and skill, so don’t forget to maximize them and pour those energies into a creative project. Don’t put your gifts to waste.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Remember that bottling up your ideas and emotions will only lead you to burst at the seams at the worst possible times. Yes, it’s uncomfortable being vulnerable, but it’s in being so that you can be free! Be in touch with your truest self, shed a light on your visions, and chase your dreams. Be open to learning more and doing more so that you can grow!

Libra (September 23 – October 21)

In your desire to create a stable life for yourself, you may have lost sight of what truly matters. Remember that fame, fortune, and material success isn’t everything. Always prioritize what you’re passionate about and what fills you with joy! As much as possible, don’t stay within your comfort zone or you won’t grow. Be brave!

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Recent dramatic events have caused you to strongly reevaluate your life, but you’ve been doing a lot of inner work to heal from your wounds. You should be proud of yourself! Understand that these changes can only lead to your growth so you shouldn’t worry so much about worst-case scenarios and things you can’t control. The sun will rise again; you just have to keep moving forward with your head held high.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

You are filled with the fire of your passions and nothing is going to stop you now in your desire to achieve your dreams! Trust that you are on the right path and rely on your inner strength to get you through any obstacle. Remember, though, to look back on your journey and to acknowledge all that it took to get you to where you are. Be grateful for all the opportunities and blessings in your life!

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

You may be experiencing competition and power struggles in your current work environment and it’s really draining your energy. You are struggling to be seen or heard, so you need to endeavor to assert yourself and bring back harmony with your levelheaded decisions, critical thinking, and authority. Don’t be afraid to step into the role of the leader!

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

So many opportunities are within your grasp but you are unaware of them because you’re so focused on all the things that could go wrong. But with this negative thinking, you will miss out on all the good fortune you deserve! So be open and say “yes.” Let these opportunities lead you to where you’re meant to go.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

You may be experiencing inner conflict as other people’s expectations and opinions are hindering you from saying what you truly feel. However, the only voice you need to hear is your own! Tune in to what you really want because only you know what’s best for you. Shine a light on your visions and work hard on your own goals—not anyone else’s.
