Your Weekly Horoscope, May 1-7, 2024

You’ll gain some energy and mojo back after what was a long and arduous month. Before that happens though, begin your week slowly. Dream up your most desired outcomes. Get a little bit ridiculous or romantic about your life. Your energy will only be wasted fighting battles for fighting battles sake. Also, some helpful stars may bring you a financial boost too. Allow for a little bit of indulgence if you need to cool down some anger.

It’s so good to be you right now! Your stars are truly rising. That said though, there are some battles within your mind or from your past that still get you fired up. Open that Pandora’s Box, give it a little bit of oxygen but don’t dwell there. Let that be the fuel for you to make moves that have meaning. You have so many good fights to fight. Rest when required but do be prepared for your next round of battles.

So few people have read The Art of War and it shows. Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat. You’re figuring out how to handle a situation among friends, groups or communities that has been quite the storm. A combination of strategy and tactics is required. Advance when you can, retreat when you must. Diplomacy probably won’t be a winning formular now.

Just when you think it’s safe to come out of your shell! You can continue to stay within it, that’s your choice, but you’re required now to be brave. That isn’t to say you’re not fearful, worried or uncertain. No warrior goes into battle without the smell of fear in his blood, but running into the fray he does. This week, it’s a professional or life direction battle you must fight. First though, you need to figure out which are worth the scars and which are not.

What is a throne without a King? It’s just a chair. For a while now, the stars have been inviting you to take your rightful place. Well, have you? If you haven’t, sorry to say, time is running out. You see, when you choose to put that crown on your head, wannabe usurpers and naysayers are a part of the deal. It’s unavoidable. Nobody likes a weak King, or Queen. Make a professional choice this week. Just know that the outcome has no guarantees. That’s what makes it exciting.

Life is meant to be lived beyond the spreadsheet. That said, sometimes you do need to know your numbers. That was April’s story. Now, it’s time for you to live a little bit. Dive into the mysteries, magic and meaning of life. What’s the point of knowing the value of everything if you know the purpose of nothing? For the next little while, you need to straddle both realities. Just remember, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Many people saw your stars and predicted your demise. Oh, how wrong they were. You see, you hold the rightful position for Saturn – the ruler of order. Where there is chaos, you eradicate it. When someone encroaches upon your territory, you secure your boundaries. So few people realize how strong you are. They are about to find out. You can play nice when required, but that’s a part of your strategy. If you need to cut someone down to size, this is the week to do it.

Operating in the shadows is what you do best. That can sound intriguing, but more often than not, it just means you’re as busy as hell. Sometimes, with little to show for your effort and toil. The next several weeks will set a punishing pace. Are you working for works sake, or are you working for something more? You see, there is a difference between activity and achievement. Start emerging from the shadows, otherwise, you may end up getting stuck there.

It’s been a long road and it’s not been particularly smooth. I know you’re over it, but you have a little way longer to go. That said, the road will start to get smoother. Maybe you just get stronger, it’s hard to say. Nonetheless, the sky does invite you to start having more fun. If you don’t the road will get rocky again. Sometimes you got to spice things up a little bit in order just to make the mundane bearable.

It’s difficult to not have your nose to the grindstone. Partially, that’s because you’re just like that and partially, the current climate is necessitating it. It’s a Catch 22. There’s so much movement in your home zone right now and it will continue to be frantically busy for a while yet. That said, what you do now will reap rewards in the not-too-distant future. Also, be sure to have a little bit of fun along the way. Even the most serious goats were cute baby kid goats once.

At first glance, the sky is offering you endless opportunity for self-development and personal growth. Don’t get me wrong, self-awareness is what you’re actually looking for. To go too much beyond that, it almost becomes narcissistic. Bored? Need change? Stuck in a loop? Feeling ordinary? Consider not yourself, but others. The more you give, the more you receive. It’s not what your family can do for you, but what you can do for your family – or those you consider to be.

Money could be burning a hole in your pocket in the upcoming weeks. Maybe an impulsive move here or there sounds like a good idea, but you really do need to be thinking longer term. Sometimes expenses come up that you didn’t expect. Whatever is going on for you, money wise, will continue unless you adopt a different strategy. Reflect on April, what would or could you do differently moving forward? If need be, seek wise counsel or advice. You don’t have to solve these issues alone.
