Goats may be kicking up their hooves in anticipation of some passionate encounters this week—and with good reason! A rare convergence of FIVE planets will mix and mingle in Taurus and your fifth house of glamour, romance and unfettered self-expression and, on Monday, May 13, the confident Sun hooks up with venturesome Uranus. Between 2018 and 2026, this annual alignment is taking place in sensual Taurus and your fifth house of lust, passion and romance. The Sun wants what it wants, when it wants it, and with unpredictable Uranus in the picture, it’s hard to know what might happen—which can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it’s good for your cautious sign to be spontaneous and let love rule (even if it doesn’t lead to a forever thing). But you don’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater and “experiment” in ways that disrupt a crucial relationship.
Speaking of bambinos, the fifth house also rules fertility, so if you’re trying to get pregnant, this could be your moment to conceive or finally start talking about that plan. Because things could shift on a dime with people—one way or the other—pay attention to the emotional undercurrent. No, you can’t control their behavior, but you CAN stay in command of your own reactions, calling a timeout if things start to veer in a negative direction.
This energy rises up again on Saturday, when love planet Venus makes the second conjunction of the week to wild-child Uranus. Behave, Capricorn, or know when it’s time to exit the party before you make a crucial error in judgment that could impact an important relationship. Of course, if you’re “fresh outta the slammer” like the Taylor Swift song, then make sure you’re honoring your own boundaries.
No need to rush after every thirst trap. This playful, amorous mindset will last for a few solid weeks. This Wednesday, messenger Mercury commences its annual visit to sensual Taurus and your passionate fifth house. Unless there’s a pressing midweek deadline or an actual emergency (not a friend’s Tinder disaster), open up space for your muse to maneuver. Between now and June 3, when the quicksilver planet enters your self-care zone, the message is clear: Do YOU! For a change, you’ll actually be comfortable doing things that aren’t 100 percent logical or practical. And, as you’re learning, this is where the magic happens! Give your creativity free rein—and whether you’re single or attached, make some time for that person who never fails to make your heart go zing!
Saturday is “The Day of Miracles,” and yes, that’s as epic as it sounds. For one day only, adventurous Jupiter holds its annual summit with the fame-fueling Sun. For the first time in over a decade, they’re meeting up in Taurus and your star powered fifth house. Promoting yourself is nearly effortless under these skies, so if you’ve got a product to shop or an offer to rollout, well, carpe diem. Even if spring is nowhere to be found in the air, get out of your cozy environment for a dress-up dinner or a live show. Reviving the social magic in a romantic relationship could set the stage for any overdue “state of our union” conversations. If you’ve spent more time in yoga apparel than silky lingerie, get ready to flip the script. This is one week where the simple adage, “When you look good, you feel good” could be like CPR for a flatlining connection—or your cue to turn to a fresh page in your personal romance novel.
