Forecast for May 17-30
Travel and communications turn problematic during a series of Gemini-Sagittarius collisions. First, brainy Mercury opposes freewheeling Jupiter on the 19th-20th, which throws details to the winds in favor of gregarious interactions and envisioning the bigger picture. Moreover, chaotic Uranus amps up the element of unpredictability, so double-check your plans. The sun enters Gemini on the 21st, which helps with clarity. However, when logical Mercury opposes instinctual Pluto on the 26th-27th, compulsiveness can overturn clear-headedness if emotions are ignored; the best way to handle this influence is to balance feelings with intellect, which will be easier while Mercury travels through sensitive Cancer May 28-Aug. 3. Additionally, intuition and imagination are activated when Neptune turns retrograde on the 24th for five months.

Aries (March 21-April 19)
Innovative ideas are abundant while your brain goes into overdrive, but you’ll also rattle some cages containing the status quo. Travel snafus and argumentativeness are likely the last two weeks of May.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Financial pandemonium is likely unless you tread carefully during financial transactions the last two weeks of May. And the next five months may see you reevaluating your career aspirations.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Bedlam can generate brilliance or insanity, or a combination of both, as you’ll know firsthand by the end of the month. Taking some quiet time to quell the chaos will soothe your high-strung temperament.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
The last two weeks of May emphasize reevaluating your diet and exercise routine as well as resolving pesky issues from the past. And you’ll need to stay centered during some unpredictability in the romance arena.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Socializing escalates, but you’ll face some negativity unless you’re picky about who you spend time with. And Neptune over the next five months urges examining unconscious relationship patterns.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
With so much energy spent on your career, balancing career and family activities will be challenging the last two weeks of May. Moreover, your sweetie may throw you a curveball that derails some of your plans.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Contacts from afar can assist your plans, but choosing the right people and projects is crucial. Communications can be tricky; be especially wary of exaggerated claims. And expect the unexpected while traveling.

When talk turns intense, your analytical and investigative talents can uncover the truth-if you stay objective. And Neptune over the next five months urges a psychological investigation of family patters.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Partnership activities skyrocket, but rash words can get you into trouble with your sweetie. And Neptune amps up your imagination over the next five months, when paying attention to details will be challenging.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Communications about your health are emphasized, but a hasty decision or action is risky now. Communications in general will take you into unchartered territory, which can be unsettling and/or enlightening.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Shocking those around you out of their complacency may cement your avant-garde status, but it can also derail your love life now. And Neptune over the next five months energizes your humanitarian side.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Family challenges, which may be heightened by a career choice, need your attention now. Communications improve after the 28th. And your ruler Neptune encourages reevaluating your spiritual and personal direction.
