Better days are coming! The week ahead brings realism and optimism. Pluto retrograde in Aquarius begins on May 4 and ends on October 13, so in these months we will have the opportunity to understand the areas where we need to flourish.
 
On May 5, Mercury in Aries connects with Jupiter in Gemini, pushing us to raise our voices and speak openly. On May 6, Venus in Aries and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius bring our secret desires to the surface. Mercury moves into Taurus on May 10, bringing our minds and actions into harmony.
 
Aries
 
Now that the season of financial obligations is over, you are counting on the reward you will receive: a fun evening with friends. But it may not come as soon as you think. Instead of complaining and having an optimistic approach, go out alone, make new acquaintances and memories.
 
Taurus
 
Some of your anxiety (which you know how to hide well) is coming to the fore, making you feel stressed and irritated. Before you take it out on a close friend or partner, take some steps to free yourself, through meditation or yoga.
 
Gemini
 
You are the keeper and distributor of secrets—which is a bit ironic, because you are usually the one who tells everything and ignites the sparks of rumors that then circulate everywhere. This week, you are withholding information to protect others and maintain relationships with society. Remember: If someone tells you to keep a secret, it is best to listen.
 
Cancer
 
Your schedule is full and you have a hard time finding some free time. Remember: You are not obligated to attend every event you are invited to. Being selective will not only make you more mysterious, but it will also allow you to focus on the most important person in your life—yourself!
 
Leo
 
Dramas come and go in your relationship. This week, things are heating up. To avoid confrontation, try to stay calm and channel that powerful energy into intimacy. Leave the bedroom battles where they belong!
 
Virgo
 
It seems like everyone is constantly bothering you—but in fact, you're the one letting them do it. Let's talk about a word you rarely use: Boundaries. You don't have to be there to stroke other people's egos. No one will judge you if you avoid texting for a while to get your life in order.
 
Libra
 
Someone has caught your attention and is making you blush like a teenager. Don't start searching social media for personal details. Try the traditional way of hooking up: Go on romantic dates, send flirty messages, and don't go on their ex's Instagram profile. That's enough.
 
Scorpio
 
It may seem like the person you like is behaving badly, but it's probably just a misunderstanding. Instead of reacting angrily and starting a "cold war," try to think clearly and find out where the problem lies.
 
Sagittarius
 
The coming week is calm—fixed as you like. You're realizing that you don't have to always be the center of attention. Sometimes, doing things yourself and staying behind the scenes is better. That way, you can focus on your projects or the next adventure.
 
Capricorn
 
Don't share your successes or secrets with those who don't deserve it. These are people who want to take advantage of your achievements and stick with you for interest. So it's good to be more selective with the people you surround yourself with. Help only those colleagues who have shown loyalty, not those who behave suspiciously.
 
Aquarius
 
You are the main character—even if your partner or friends are trying to be the center of attention. Let them complain for a while, but don't become part of their drama. Stay calm and give yourself more love. Don't get involved in reckless situations that you don't like anyway.
 
Pisces
 
Even though you didn't want to, here you are, acting as a mediator in family matters. Get everyone together, get straight to the point, and encourage family members to listen to each other carefully. Things are likely to improve because you are now the psychologist of the house.
