WEEK OF May 15 – 2 1, 2023
Step away from the fray on Monday, May 15, Leo: Your emotions may be running high and you could be overly quick to react. And should you feel tensions rise, don’t numb yourself out or try to avoid the situation. Agitator Mars has been rumbling through your unconscious twelfth house, which can make you feel like there’s nowhere to hide, and as the week kicks off, the red planet aligns with escapist Neptune in your equally intense eighth house. If you can work from home (or a surrogate home) today, it’ll be easier to tame the mood monster. Take mini breaks throughout the day, doing back-body stretches, listening to short guided meditations and nurturing yourself with clean green fuel. Tonight, stay in and watching a nature doc or hit up an evening yoga class or a centering sound bath. Whatever it takes to help you process and move that energy THROUGH your body.
Major news on the career front arrives this Tuesday as expansive and auspicious Jupiter blasts into your tenth house of professional success. After a year of allowing yourself to dream big while the galactic giant was in your visionary zone, you can now begin to realize some of those lofty goals. As Jupiter begins its yearlong trek through industrious Taurus and your career sector, run the most viable of those brilliant notions through the reality filter. As a fire sign, you love to take immediate action and trust you’ll work out the kinks later. But Taurus’ future-oriented vision and methodical approach invite you to play the long game. Where do you want to be one year from now? What are you doing professionally, with whom, and how much are you earning? See it clearly, then work backward and set some concrete milestones to reach at various points in the coming 12 months.
You’ve got the luxury of time (until May 25, 2024), so you don’t need to take shortcuts or settle for a compromise. What have you been dreaming about for the past DECADE—since Jupiter’s last tour of this realm? Get ready to take some bold moves and perhaps a leap of faith. Friday’s new moon in Taurus—the only one of the year—provides some potent fresh-start energy that can activate all of your next-level career initiatives.
More From ELLE
And the good news just keeps rolling in this week! On Saturday, passionate Mars bolts out of your sleepy twelfth house and blasts into your sign for the first time since June 2021. It’s not like you’ve been on a two-year hiatus, but from May 20 until (at least) July 10, it could feel like a red carpet has been rolled out just for you. Cat-walking will grant you instant head-turner status, AND it can turbocharge your personal passions and dreams. You’re on fire, Leo, and this could be one of your most magnetic cycles of the entire year. (And just WAIT until Venus joins the Leo party on June 5!) Your future success is worth investing in, so research trainings, advanced programs and other ways to align current you with the future vision. Mars doses you with fearlessness and supports calculated risks. Your role is bringing vision and committed action together, and with both of those forces, you WILL magically attract the supportive people you need to take your next steps.
