Get ready to lean into your dreams!

The week ahead awakens our sentiments and aspirations. Venus enters Aries on April 30, encouraging us to chase our visions boldly. Uranus in Taurus connects with the Nodes of Destiny on May 1, pushing us to embrace our independence and originality. Venus and Neptune form a conjunction in Aries on May 2, making us swoon in matters of love and devotion.

The First Quarter Moon in Leo on May 4 urges us to hone in on our deepest passions and emotions. Pluto’s retrograde (moonwalk) begins on May 4 in Aquarius, lasting through October 13, checking in on how much we’ve grown since earlier in the year.

Aries

Although your intentions always come from a sincere place, it may create more drama because people want the success you have. The truth of the matter is that others are jealous of you always getting praise and acclaim (which is not fair because you work hard and deserve positive feedback).

Taurus

Assert your knowledge, wisdom, and power to get what you want. If anything, your strenuous efforts at work will lead to a slight pay increase, making you happy to have extra cash to go shopping with during the seasonal sales. Not holding yourself back leads to advantageous and beneficial outcomes.

Gemini

You’ll be able to have some serious talks with friends. The conversation will allow you to clarify matters since the end of February when Venus first entered Aries pre-retrograde. No matter how you feel about the issues, getting it off your chest will be good. Plus, you can make up.

Cancer

Work is at a standstill; however, you’ll receive favorable professional news during the week. Make sure it is a favorable fit before accepting and moving forward. You never know what you can achieve until you invest your mind and heart. Anything is possible because you are at your best now.

Leo

Before running off in an emotional fury, be aware that you can mend your monetary setbacks. For the first time in months, you’ll be able to gain control over your finances and make momentous changes in how you save money. The only caveat is that it might not last long.

Virgo

After experiencing a whirlwind on the emotional roller coaster with your heart, you realize that you need to take a much-needed break from the upset you're feeling. This doesn’t necessarily mean ending a relationship — it’s time to focus all your energy on your needs and take care of yourself.

Libra

Friendships on the back burner will resurface now, giving you a second to reconnect this season. Hopefully, you’ll both get it right this time and work out your past issues. You can evolve and grow by believing in each other. Focus on building the present and future at this moment.

Scorpio

This week’s cosmic energy motivates you to bring your inner goals to reality by elevating your public status and bank account. Any endeavor that you envisioned in the past has legs to become bigger than anticipated. Yes, that includes romance. Your love life is heating up healthily and tenderly now.

Sagittarius

It’s time to remind the world about the powerhouse that you are. Everyone will take note of your strenuous efforts and drive. The only thing to be watchful for is your tonality with others. Don’t let praise allow you to get too cocky for your own good at the moment.

Capricorn

The problems you’ve been experiencing at work will finally dwindle this week. Owning your part in the situation is vital to move forward. As a result, they will totally meet you halfway and understand their wrongdoing. The best advice is to have a chill approach when interacting with your brood.

Aquarius

There will be a deepening in your current partnership, which will cement your relationship status and clear up past uncertainties or recent dramas with your significant other. This will lead you to a high note, far from how the year started for you. Lean into romance and love this week.

Pisces

The Venus and Neptune conjunction, which occurs on May 2, allows you to help friends mend their relationships based on your recent hardships and experiences. Being a great source of support comes natural to you. In return, they’ll show appreciation by treating you to a lavish meal or spa treatment.
