Your horoscope for the week of May 15 to 21 is monumental, so pay close attention to what’s currently happening in your life right now. A major planetary transit begins this week, guiding us through the beginning of a brand new journey. Make no mistake—one of the most important weeks of the year has arrived!
Not only is this slow and stagnating Mercury retrograde finally over, but Jupiter—our “Great Benefic” that rules over miracles, luck and expansion—will leave behind the fiery skies of Aries to venture into the fields of Taurus beginning May 16. This will set off a yearlong cycle of prosperity, abundance and opportunity as we are encouraged to build ourselves, our lives and the physical world around us. Jupiter will increase luxurious, hedonistic energy too, as we will be more inclined to embrace the beauty of the moment and decide to stop and smell the roses rather than parading onward without gratitude. And because Jupiter will immediately square off with Pluto—planet of transformation—on May 17, it would light a fire of inspiration that inspires you to prove all your haters and frenemies wrong.
Here’s what you can expect from the upcoming week, according to your sun and/or rising sign (and seriously, you’re missing out if you don’t read these horoscopes for your rising sign):

Aries
This week, you’re uncovering a treasure map.
The week begins on Sunday, May 14, with Mercury in Taurus moving forward again. On Monday, Mars in Cancer and your house of family trines Neptune in Pisces. Aries, your energy might be low today, so you’ll want to plan accordingly. Put off any chores that can wait and take some time for self-care instead. This is a good time to get a massage, enjoy a spa treatment, or sit in a hot sauna. A dip in a hot tub would also fit the bill.
On Wednesday, May 17, Jupiter in Taurus and your house of money squares Pluto in Aquarius. Aries, you might have some big plans for creating a flow of passive income. At the same time, you might be plugging up holes in your spending. No matter what cards you’re holding, you’re waiting to push your chips into the pot to make a bet. Right now, believe in yourself and start implementing your plans.

Taurus
This week, it doesn’t matter which way you go because you can find your way.
The week begins on Sunday, May 14, with Mercury in Taurus moving forward again. On Monday, Mars in Cancer and your house of communication trines Neptune in Pisces.

On Wednesday, May 17, Jupiter in Taurus and your house of confidence squares Pluto in Aquarius. Others have noticed that you seem more confident these days. Taurus, this is leading to opportunities for bigger, more high-profile projects. You can brush aside thoughts of self-doubt. This is a good time to move forward on something you’ve never done before. Look for a project that has that “wow” factor.
