Calling all social butterflies! It’s time to show off those conversational skills. Starting Monday, we’ll be excited to engage with others as the spirit-driving sun enters enthusiastic Gemini. This flurry of activity could even inspire us to nurture our curiosity and expand our thinking. But while we may feel invigorated by this transit, we’ll need to be careful of what we share — it’s easy to put your foot in your mouth when the sun moves through this impulsive air sign. 

We’ll have the potential to expand our influence on Wednesday, when the sun forms a trine with transformative Pluto in assertive Aquarius. This is a beautiful day to speak about your passions and align yourself with those who share your interests. If you’ve been looking for a mentor, this could also be an ideal time to reach out to someone whose work you admire. 

A lot of positive astrological activity will take place on Thursday, including a happy conjunction between sweet Venus and optimistic Jupiter, and a hopeful full moon in dynamic Sagittarius. But the day’s final transit is a particularly rare and impactful one. When lucky Jupiter sextiles dreamy Neptune, we’ll be in an ideal position to imagine new possibilities for our future. Be sure to take note of any inspiration that comes to you on and around this date. You could be on the brink of welcoming something new and wonderful into your world.

Our week concludes with an intense trine between flirtatious Venus and zealous Pluto on Saturday. During this aspect, ideas are often shared with elevated confidence — almost to the point of obnoxiousness. But attraction also tends to be felt strongly, which could help sparks fly when it comes to matters of the heart. Nothing is done halfway as we strive to make our feelings known.

Meanwhile, abundant Jupiter will make his way into clever Gemini, where he’ll stay until June 2025. Under this influence, we often feel keen to explore new ways to expand our minds — and excited by the multitude of possibilities we see before us. At the same time, having so many options can make it difficult to choose a direction. Over the next year, we’ll be called to really educate ourselves so we can leave outdated ways of thinking in the past.

Here is your horoscope for the week of Monday, May 20, 2024.
