Weekly Horoscope: April 25 to May 1, 2022
It’s not always that the weekend is the most astrologically jam-packed part of the week, but stranger things have happened. Friday sees Mercury’s return home to Gemini. As a sign of the planet’s rulership, the next few weeks will be extra Mercurial with a focus on learning and trying new things.
Conversely, this also means that the retrograde starting on May 10 will be particularly disorienting. Speaking of retrogrades, Pluto (the planet of transformation) in Capricorn begins its own on Friday, which will last for the next five months. It will offer the collective an opportunity to reevaluate your power dynamics and boundaries, so take advantage of it!
Finally, the new moon in Taurus will be upon us on Saturday, bringing with it dreams of luxury and comfort. As always, treat the new moon as a prelude to the rest of the season and therefore an excellent opportunity to plan for it. However, this Taurus new moon offers a rare treat — it falls during a partial solar eclipse, which superpowers the existing energy. Big changes are afoot, so hold on!
Your Zodiac Sign’s Weekly Horoscope
Aries
People expect fire signs to be the confident kings and queens of the zodiac. But we’re all human at the end of the day, Aries.

You’re a notorious go-getter, but it’s time to think about how you can pursue your satisfaction like you do your projects.

Taurus
You’re the star this season, Taurus — whether you like it or not. The very Taurean energy this week is swirling around in your zone of self and appearance. So, if you’re feeling a little touchy in that regard, it’s totally natural. Blame the stars, but also take some time to contemplate your course in life — or at least for the next few months. Are you your ideal self? If not, draft a roadmap to reach it.

Gemini
While the other signs (rightfully) focus on the upcoming new moon/solar eclipse hybrid, you’re prepping for the excitement that is Mercury in your sign. Fortunately, Saturday ends this wait, and you’re sure to be feeling (impossibly) chattier and more curious than usual. Take advantage of this intellectual energy while you can — read a book, start a short course, or even talk through some problem that’s been plaguing you. But remember to take a breath between ramblings.

Sagittarius
I know this concept can be a little frightening for you Archers, but do you have a routine, Sagittarius? “Vibing” is great and all, but this eclipse season may force a little more action, and you’ll definitely be better prepared for it if you have your day-to-day together. Given the presence of Taurean energy there, no one’s telling you to go all-out. However, it may be helpful to get it together.

Aquarius
Home is where the heart is, Aquarius. And for the next few weeks, your home will figure heavily on your mental, especially with the sun and the potent new moon in your domestic zone.

Pisces
Amid the potent astrological energy afoot this week, there’s also an exact conjunction between Venus and Jupiter in your sign, Pisces, which is sure to breed some whimsical energy as well as a little delusion. Try to use the Taurean energy to ground yourself if you can. The conjunction’s creativity can be great for your exploits, but it’s useless if you spend it with your head in the clouds!
