It’s not the Sag way to hold much in, but if something’s on your mind, do your best to get it out in the open ASAP! On Monday, May 1, piercing Pluto shifts into retrograde in communal Aquarius and your third house of self-expression until June 11, which could cause friction with friends, neighbors and siblings. The third house is your communication center, and Pluto isn’t known for being gentle or tactful. And in reverse, conversations could turn intense and stormy if you don’t stay intentional. Here’s where your natural candor comes in handy! By speaking YOUR piece, you tacitly give others permission to say what’s on THEIR minds instead of passive-aggressively stewing in their juices. But think before you blurt. Do your Sagittarian best to eliminate any hint of condescension or self-righteousness from your words and even your body language. When it comes to hot-button subjects, you might need to agree to disagree—and perhaps also to NOT bring it up when you’re together. On June 11, Pluto backflips into Capricorn, staying retrograde through October 10 and remains in your second house of finances until January 20, 2024. You’ll have one final opportunity to balance the books in 2024, but this cycle from October to January can help you clear up any fiscal mysteries and perhaps tighten the belt voluntarily. You don’t have to cut out all creature comforts; just find ways to trim the fat that you may not even notice, like canceling any auto-renewing subscriptions you don’t use.
You could get in touch with your “woo” side this Friday as a lunar (full moon) eclipse in Scorpio powers up your twelfth house of introspection, mysticism and divine inspiration. You don’t have to take your hands off the metaphoric wheel, Sag, but if you sense you’re being guided by a benevolent otherworldly force, relax and see where it leads you! At the very least, see if you can start your weekend on a deeply meditative note. Keep your schedule flexible and devote time to quieting the mental chatter. Process any emotions, including anger and grief, that you’ve pushed aside a little too long. If you’re looking for a spiritual mentor or healer, set the intention in earnest, then leave the rest to the universe. It’s all so serendipitous with this Scorpio lunar lift that you don’t have to seek to find…you just have to stay aware.
Things should really start heating up on Sunday, when seductrix Venus sashays into Cancer and your eighth house of intimacy and eroticism until June 5—joining lusty Mars, who’s there until May 20. If you’re in a relationship, this cycle could intensify the connection and seal the bond like Gorilla Glue. Put in the effort to take it to next-level commitment. Baeless? You could break type and find yourself turned off by interactions that don’t hold any promise of going the distance. With both love planets stirring things up in this penetrating realm, you’re craving a soulful connection. You may be the most indie-spirited sign of the zodiac, but this transit might be shifting something deep inside of you. If you’re unattached, set the bar high for dating prospects and don’t lower it no matter how tired your arms get. And for all Archers, this is a perfect time for sharing secrets and fantasies. After all, if you can’t tell the person you’re getting in between the sheets with, who can you tell?
