Horoscopes: What does the week ahead have in store for you? Our resident expert Seer Sive reads the cosmos for the coming seven days.
Weekly Forecast: 3 May to 10 May 2026
Aries (21 March – 19 April)
The Sun continues its steady passage through Taurus and your second house of personal finances this week, turning your attention firmly toward what you own, what you earn, and what truly brings you security. Mercury has just moved into the same territory, sharpening your mind for practical matters and lending you the kind of clear-eyed focus that makes good decisions possible. Pluto stations retrograde on Wednesday in your eleventh house, and while that slow-burning shift operates beneath the surface, you may find certain friendships or group affiliations beginning to feel less certain than they once did. Pay attention to what that unease is trying to tell you.
Money: This is a strong week for financial planning, and Mercury in Taurus gives you both the patience and the analytical clarity to sit down with the figures and make sense of them. A business idea that seemed out of reach recently may suddenly look more feasible. That said, Mars squaring Jupiter at the start of the week could tempt you toward an overconfident decision or a purchase you have not fully thought through. Do the maths before you commit to anything with a long tail.
Singles: The week opens with the Moon in Sagittarius adding a restless, adventure-hungry energy to your social life, making you more likely than usual to accept an invitation you might normally decline. Go. The middle of the week brings a quieter, more introspective mood, but Friday and the weekend see warmth return as the Moon moves through Pisces, softening your edges and making you far more appealing to those around you.
Couples: Pluto retrograding in your house of community and shared ideals may stir a quiet question this week about whether you and your partner are still moving in the same direction. This is not necessarily cause for concern, but it is worth raising gently. Sun sextile Jupiter on Sunday offers a beautiful closing note, a moment of genuine appreciation for what you have built together and an instinct to grow it further.
Taurus (20 April – 20 May)
With the Sun in your own sign and Mercury freshly arrived to join it, this is a week of considerable personal power for you, Taurus. Your thinking is sharpened, your presence is felt, and those around you are inclined to listen. There is a quality of quiet authority about you right now that does not demand attention but simply commands it. Pluto turns retrograde on Wednesday in your tenth house of career and public reputation, which may see a chapter that felt fixed begin to quietly shift. Something you thought was settled in your professional life may need to be revisited before the year is out.
Money: Mercury in Taurus is a genuine asset for your financial affairs this week. You have the capacity to think through complex money matters with unusual clarity, and any paperwork, contracts, or financial decisions that have been sitting unattended will benefit from your focused attention now. The Sun sextile Jupiter on Sunday brings an optimistic close to the week and hints that a financial opportunity planted earlier in the year could soon bear fruit. Trust your instincts on value.
Singles: You are at your most attractive this week, not through effort but through the natural confidence that comes when the Sun is in your sign. Mercury sharpens your conversation, making you more witty and perceptive than usual, and people find that combination hard to resist. Midweek brings a Capricorn Moon that rewards those who are direct and unhurried. If someone has caught your interest, a straightforward approach will serve you far better than games or second-guessing.
Couples: This week invites you to invest in beauty and comfort within your relationship, which is, after all, your natural language of love. A shared meal, a long walk somewhere quiet, a deliberate slowing down together. Pluto retrograding in your career sector may mean work pressure increases in the coming months, so savour the present pace. Sunday’s Jupiter influence brings warmth and a sense of real abundance to your partnership. Enjoy it fully.
Gemini (21 May – 20 June)
Uranus has recently settled into your sign for a seven-year stay, and you are still adjusting to the charge that brings. This week, expect flashes of inspiration alongside moments of restlessness, a sense that the life you have been living is about to undergo a meaningful upgrade but that the upgrade has not quite arrived yet. The Sun and Mercury in Taurus are working through your twelfth house of rest, reflection, and what lies beneath the surface, encouraging you to slow down, process, and prepare rather than rush forward. This is a week for inner work rather than outer action, and the results will be worth it.
Money: The twelfth house does not favour bold financial moves, and this week’s energy confirms that. Avoid signing anything important without reading the fine print carefully, and steer clear of impulsive online spending, particularly midweek when the Moon squares Uranus and introduces an unpredictable current. The real opportunity this week is in reviewing what you already have: subscriptions, direct debits, and ongoing commitments that may no longer serve you. Clear the decks.
Singles: With your chart ruler Mercury in the hidden twelfth house, you may feel less inclined to put yourself forward socially this week, and that is perfectly fine. Trust that the quieter moments have their own value. A conversation late in the week, perhaps with someone you already know well, could take a surprisingly meaningful turn. Pisces energy on the weekend brings intuition and emotional openness. Do not talk yourself out of what you are feeling.
Couples: The twelfth house asks for honesty about what has been left unsaid. If there is a tension you have both been quietly sidestepping, this is a week that will keep placing it gently in your path until one of you names it. Do so with kindness. The Sun sextile Jupiter on Sunday brings a beautiful and expansive energy to close the week, one that softens everything and reminds you both why the honest conversations are always worth having.
Cancer (21 June – 22 July)
The Sun and Mercury in Taurus are lighting up your eleventh house of friendship, community, and future hopes this week, drawing your attention outward to the people who matter most to your sense of belonging. A group situation or collective project may suddenly feel more significant than it did, and conversations within your wider circle could open a door you had not previously considered. Pluto turns retrograde in your eighth house on Wednesday, a long and considered backward pull through the territory of shared finances, inheritance, and deep transformation. Something that seemed concluded in this area of your life may not be entirely finished.
Money: Your eleventh house emphasis this week suggests that financial opportunity is most likely to come through your network rather than through solo effort. A conversation, a recommendation, or a connection made through a friend could have tangible value. Keep your ears open at social gatherings and do not be too modest about what you bring to the table. Mars square Jupiter early in the week could inflate a sense of urgency around money. Do not let that push you into a rushed decision.
Singles: Your social life is genuinely lit up this week, and the Sagittarius Moon at the start brings a buoyant, expansive energy to group gatherings. You are more likely to meet someone interesting through friends or a shared interest than through a solo effort. Do not underestimate the importance of showing up. The weekend’s Pisces Moon brings sensitivity and romantic atmosphere, and if there is someone who has been circling your thoughts, now is the time to let them know.
Couples: This is a good week to step out together, to be seen as a couple in the wider world rather than staying tucked away at home. A shared social occasion, a community event, or even a casual dinner with friends will strengthen your bond in unexpected ways. Pluto retrograde in your shared finances sector is a quiet nudge to have a clear-eyed conversation about money before the issue becomes a source of friction. Address it calmly and early.
Leo (23 July – 22 August)
The Sun and Mercury in Taurus are highlighting your tenth house of career, public reputation, and professional ambition this week, and the spotlight is firmly on what you are achieving and how the world sees you. This is excellent territory for Leos, who rarely shy away from visibility. Mercury here sharpens your professional communication and makes this an ideal week to present ideas, negotiate, or simply to put your name forward for something that matters to you. Pluto turns retrograde in your seventh house of committed relationships and key partnerships on Wednesday, suggesting that a significant one-to-one relationship, romantic or professional, is entering a period of deeper review.
Money: Career progress and financial progress are closely linked for you this week, and the effort you put into your professional standing now is likely to have a direct effect on what comes your way in the weeks ahead. The Sun sextile Jupiter on Sunday is particularly encouraging for your long-term ambitions and hints that a goal you set in motion last year is gathering real momentum. Do not let the early-week Mars-Jupiter tension talk you into overcommitting. Choose quality over quantity.
Singles: Your professional polish is working in your favour this week, and there is a real possibility of romantic interest arising from your career sphere or public-facing activities. Stay open to this, even if it feels a little unexpected. The Capricorn Moon midweek encourages a composed, self-assured energy that is quietly magnetic. By the weekend, as the Moon moves into Pisces, you soften beautifully and any connections made earlier in the week can deepen with welcome ease.
Couples: Pluto retrograde in your relationship house is not a crisis, but it is an invitation to look clearly at the power dynamics within your partnership and to make sure they are as balanced as they could be. This is deep work, and it does not need to be rushed or dramatised. The week’s strong career energy may mean you are distracted by professional matters, so make a deliberate effort to be present for your partner. Sunday’s generous Jupiter influence rewards that effort generously.
Virgo (23 August – 22 September)
The Sun and Mercury in Taurus are working through your ninth house of learning, travel, philosophy, and the wider world this week, and your mind is hungry for expansion. Ideas that connect across disciplines, conversations that stretch your understanding, and any opportunity to learn something genuinely new will feel deeply nourishing right now. Mercury is well placed here, encouraging you to seek information and share it, and you may find yourself drawn to writing, teaching, or exploring a subject that has been sitting on the back burner. Pluto turns retrograde in your sixth house of health, work, and daily routine on Wednesday, beginning a long inward look at what in your day-to-day life may need to change.
Money: The ninth house can bring financial opportunity through travel, education, publishing, or overseas connections, and this week something in one of those areas could prove more lucrative than expected. If you have been considering a course, a qualification, or a venture with an international dimension, the stars are unusually supportive of taking a next step. Mars square Jupiter at the start of the week is a reminder not to oversell your capabilities. Ambition is an asset; overstatement is not.
Singles: Adventure and intellectual connection are your love language this week. You are most drawn to people who can hold an interesting conversation, challenge your thinking, and see the world as a place worth exploring. A chance encounter while travelling, attending a class, or engaging with something outside your usual routine could hold more romantic potential than you initially realise. The Sagittarius Moon early in the week perfectly amplifies this restless, curious energy.
Couples: Plan something that takes you both out of the ordinary this week. It does not have to be dramatic; even a new restaurant, a documentary you watch together, or a spontaneous day trip will have a revitalising effect on your relationship. Pluto retrograde in your routine sector may surface some health-related habits or daily patterns that need a shared conversation. Approach it as a team rather than as a point of conflict, and the outcome will be constructive.
Libra (23 September – 22 October)
The Sun and Mercury in Taurus are moving through your eighth house this week, the domain of shared resources, deep psychological truth, and the things we do not often talk about in the open. This can feel like navigating territory that requires more honesty than is always comfortable, but Mercury here offers clarity and the capacity to have the difficult conversations that actually move things forward. Pluto turning retrograde in your fifth house of creativity, romance, and self-expression on Wednesday begins a quiet but significant backward review of how authentically you have been expressing yourself. Something in that area of your life wants to be examined and perhaps reclaimed.
Money: Eighth house energy this week puts the focus squarely on shared finances, debts, taxes, insurance, and anything involving another person’s money or resources. This is an excellent time to review joint accounts, look carefully at what you owe and what you are owed, and have clear financial conversations with anyone whose money is intertwined with yours. Mars square Jupiter at the start of the week is a caution against financial overconfidence. Get the facts before you make promises.
Singles: Your magnetism this week operates on a deeper frequency than usual. You are less interested in surface sparkle and more drawn to genuine depth, and the people you attract will reflect that. Someone who seems understated but turns out to be fascinating is more your speed right now than someone who announces themselves loudly. The weekend’s Pisces Moon brings a dreamy, romantic atmosphere that is perfectly suited to a meaningful one-to-one encounter.
Couples: The eighth house asks you and your partner to be honest about the things you normally leave carefully unspoken. This is not about creating drama; it is about building real intimacy through real honesty. Pluto retrograde in your fifth house may prompt a quiet reassessment of how much joy and playfulness your relationship currently holds. If that feels a little thin, this week gives you the clarity to name it gently and the will to begin changing it.
Scorpio (23 October – 21 November)
The Sun and Mercury in Taurus are sitting directly opposite your sign this week, activating your seventh house of committed partnerships and one-to-one relationships. The spotlight turns on your closest connections, and questions about balance, fairness, and what you truly need from another person come to the fore. Mercury here sharpens communication with a partner and makes this a useful week for important conversations. Pluto, your modern ruler, stations retrograde in your fourth house of home and family on Wednesday, beginning a deep inward examination of your foundations. Something in your domestic world or family history is ready to be understood more fully.
Money: Your second-house ruler is active this week, and any financial matters involving a partner, business associate, or significant other deserve careful attention. Whether you are combining resources, negotiating a shared expense, or simply reviewing an arrangement that no longer feels equal, the clarity offered by Mercury in Taurus makes this a good week to address it. The Sun sextile Jupiter on Sunday hints at positive movement where you have been patient and strategic.
Singles: A one-to-one encounter, whether a formal date or a more spontaneous meeting, holds genuine potential this week. You are drawn to someone who matches your depth, who can meet you without flinching, and who holds their ground without aggression. Do not write off someone simply because they take a little time to reveal themselves. The Moon in Pisces at the weekend brings a deeply intuitive romantic atmosphere that suits your emotional intelligence perfectly.
Couples: Your partnership house is lit up, and this is a week to give your relationship the attention it deserves, not because something is wrong, but because something is right and worth tending. A deliberate, unhurried conversation about where you are both headed, what you need more of, and what you want to create together will be genuinely productive this week. Pluto retrograde in your home sector may bring a family matter to the surface over the coming months. Facing it together will make it manageable.
Sagittarius (22 November – 21 December)
The Moon moves through your sign at the start of this week, giving you an early surge of characteristic optimism and forward momentum. The Sun and Mercury in Taurus are working through your sixth house of health, daily work, and practical habits, asking you to pay attention to the mechanics of your everyday life rather than the far horizon. This is not always your most comfortable territory, but Mercury here gives you the analytical tools to make genuine improvements to your routines, and the benefits of doing so now will carry forward for weeks. Pluto turning retrograde in your third house on Wednesday begins a long review of how you communicate, how you process information, and what you truly believe.
Money: The sixth house focus brings your attention to the financial dimension of your work and health. Are you being paid fairly for what you do? Are there work-related expenses that have crept up without scrutiny? This is a good week to look at both. Mars square Jupiter at the start of the week could make a professional opportunity look more lucrative than it turns out to be, so do your due diligence before committing time or money to anything new.
Singles: The Sagittarius Moon early in the week has you at your most gregarious and appealing, brimming with stories and a contagious enthusiasm for life. Let that carry you into the week’s social opportunities without overthinking. The sixth house energy mid-week brings a more grounded focus, and a connection made through work or a shared practical project has real staying power. Not every romance begins under the stars; some begin over a shared task.
Couples: Your daily rhythms are the focus this week, and that means looking honestly at how you and your partner divide the ordinary, unglamorous work of life. If that division feels unequal at the moment, this week’s sixth house energy makes it easier to raise without it becoming a confrontation. Pluto retrograde in your communication house over the coming months may mean some deeper conversations are on their way. Plant the seeds of honesty gently now.
Capricorn (22 December – 19 January)
The Sun and Mercury in Taurus are moving through your fifth house of creativity, romance, pleasure, and self-expression this week, and the message from the cosmos is clear: lighten up and enjoy yourself. This is not territory you always give yourself full permission to inhabit, Capricorn, but it is genuinely restorative and the stars are encouraging you to make the most of it. A creative project, a flirtation, or simply a sustained commitment to doing something that brings you joy will have a quietly profound effect on your wellbeing right now. Pluto turns retrograde in your second house on Wednesday, beginning a deep inward review of your relationship with money, security, and your sense of personal worth.
Money: Pluto stationing retrograde in your financial house is the week’s most significant development for you. Over the coming months, questions about where your true financial security lies and what you genuinely value will become increasingly pressing. This week, you may feel an urge to investigate something in your financial foundations more carefully. Trust that instinct. In the shorter term, Mercury in your fifth house may bring a creative or speculative financial idea. Assess it carefully before acting.
Singles: Your fifth house is your most naturally romantic sector, and with the Sun and Mercury both moving through it, your charm, creativity, and sense of fun are all operating at full strength. You are genuinely good company this week, and that energy is attractive. If you have been hesitating about expressing interest in someone, this is your week. The Capricorn Moon midweek brings your characteristic composure to any interaction, which combined with fifth house warmth is a compelling combination.
Couples: Play is the word for your relationship this week. Make time for laughter, spontaneity, and the kind of light-heartedness that can sometimes get buried under the serious business of adult life. A date night, a game, a shared creative activity. Something that reminds you both that your relationship is also meant to be enjoyable. Pluto retrograde in your financial house may raise some questions about security over the coming months. Begin those conversations now while the atmosphere is warm.
Aquarius (20 January – 18 February)
Pluto turning retrograde at five degrees of your sign on Wednesday is the central astrological event of your week, and you will feel its significance even if you cannot quite name it. A slow but unmistakeable shift in the quality of your personal transformation is beginning, a turning inward of the powerful forces that have been reshaping your identity from the outside in. The Sun and Mercury in Taurus are working through your fourth house of home, family, and emotional foundations, drawing your attention to the private sphere and to the roots that either nourish or constrict you. This is a week for tending what lies closest.
Money: Your fourth house emphasis this week connects financial matters to home and property. If you have been thinking about a move, a renovation, a family financial arrangement, or any significant expenditure connected to where you live, this is a good week to think it through carefully and, where appropriate, to act. Mercury in Taurus brings practical clarity, and the Sun sextile Jupiter on Sunday suggests that a decision made with care this week has the potential to expand positively over time.
Singles: Home and family sphere connections are highlighted this week, which may mean that someone you encounter through a family event, a neighbour, or an old familiar context catches your attention in a new way. Do not dismiss a connection simply because it feels close to home. The domestic warmth of the fourth house can be surprisingly romantic, and the weekend’s Pisces Moon brings a deep, intuitive undercurrent to any encounter that already feels meaningful.
Couples: Your home and shared domestic life are the focus this week. Consider how well your living environment genuinely supports your wellbeing as a couple, and whether there are small but meaningful changes that could improve the quality of your daily life together. Pluto retrograding in your first house over the coming months is an invitation to think carefully about who you are becoming and how that evolution is changing what you bring to your relationship. Share that process with your partner.
Pisces (19 February – 20 March)
The Sun and Mercury in Taurus are moving through your third house of communication, ideas, local connections, and the life of the mind this week, giving you a more grounded, practical, and intellectually engaged energy than you sometimes naturally inhabit. This is a good week to write, to have important conversations, to sort through information, and to connect with siblings, neighbours, or those in your immediate environment. Mercury is particularly well placed here and will help you express yourself with more precision and confidence than usual. Pluto turns retrograde in your twelfth house on Wednesday, beginning a long backward passage through the territory of what is hidden, unconscious, and unresolved.
Money: Third house energy brings financial opportunity through communication, local activity, and the sharing of ideas. A side project, a piece of writing, a local business venture, or a workshop or course you offer to others could generate meaningful income now. Mars square Jupiter early in the week may inflate your sense of what is immediately possible, so plan ambitiously but budget realistically. The Sunday Jupiter sextile to the Sun closes the week on a quietly encouraging note for longer-term ventures.
Singles: Your communication skills are your strongest asset this week, and you are more articulate, direct, and compelling in conversation than you usually feel. Use that. A witty exchange that starts casually could develop into something more substantial by the weekend. The Pisces Moon on Saturday and Sunday brings you fully back into your natural emotional element, softening your edges beautifully and making you extraordinarily appealing to anyone who values depth and sensitivity in equal measure.
Couples: This is a week to talk. Not about logistics or the practical machinery of shared life, but genuinely and exploratively, the way you did when you were still figuring each other out. Mercury in your communication house makes this easier than usual and more rewarding. Pluto retrograding in your twelfth house over the coming months may bring some buried material from your past to the surface. Having a strong, honest communicative base with your partner will make navigating that far easier.
