Aquarius Weekly Horoscope | May 6 – May 12, 2024
People sometimes say Aquarians are airy-fairy, which is why they’ll be taken by surprise when you step up to the plate and make the tough call that nobody else will this week. It’s amazing how calm and clear-eyed you can be in a crisis. However, you also know that cutting back and clamping down is only a short-term solution. What people need when facing tough times is a vision of a better future—something that inspires them to make sacrifices and persevere no matter what. Share your vision when the Sun sextiles Saturn on May 7th, and you’ll rally the forces behind you.

You’re starting to get a sinking feeling that things aren’t going to turn out the way you expected. Loved ones will tell you you’re being pessimistic, and friends will warn you against creating self-fulfilling prophecies, but you have a sixth sense for when the wind changes, and you can tell that it’s changing direction now. This would be a good time to roll out a Plan B and even have a Plan C on hand and at the ready. Nobody’s saying you’re going to need them, but you don’t want to be caught napping either. You should know what’s what by the weekend.

Once upon a time, the end justified the means, but nowadays you’re not so sure. What was supposed to be swift and expedient has turned into a long and winding road where it feels like you’ve lost your way. You have all kinds of questions about who you can trust, what’s at stake, whether future gains outweigh losses, and if there really is a “there” there. One wouldn’t blame you for wanting out, but stay the course a little longer because Jupiter, the planet of good luck and higher purpose, enters Gemini on May 25th. This not only brings relief but also promises an upturn in fortunes.

You won’t like hearing that something you were counting on—a refund, a reprieve, or a loan—has been revoked on Thursday. It’s typical of Pluto reversing direction in the sky. In fact, Pluto retrogrades are famous for pulling the plug, like Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown before he can kick it. But don’t waste energy railing at Fate, because you know it’s a fait accompli. If fourteen years of Pluto in Capricorn taught you anything, it’s to switch to the next contingency plan and soldier on. It may take a little longer, but you’ll get to where you’re going in the end.

You know you could do a lot more if only you were given the chance, but do you also see how hugging the shadows might give higher-ups the impression that you aren’t ready—or worse, just don’t care? Thankfully, gung-ho Mars crossing the highest point of your solar horoscope will change all of that. Not only will it spur you on to greater heights over the next 6 ½ weeks, but it will also push you to trumpet your accomplishments instead of muffling them. Part of you will worry about delivering on your promises, but fear and anxiety are good for ensuring that you will.

You will feel a boost in spirits on Tuesday when Mars, the planet of gumption and drive, enters the fiery sign of Aries. Aries is a fire sign just like Sagittarius, so this is a good thing. It’s analogous to a light switch being flipped on or a key turning in the ignition as you go from inert to alert. Not only will you feel like you’re back on top of your game, but the heady surge of confidence on Friday when Mars forms a sextile to Pluto in Aquarius will enable you to reverse engines on a decision that was ill-advised from the start.

The clouds won’t part on May 3rd, but you’ll still feel like you’re being told to follow a new path. These hard-to-explain gut impulses are to be expected when Mars forms a sextile to Pluto. You know you need to escape the rut you’ve been in, and you will when you hear about an unexpected job offer, an extraordinary opportunity, or a call to arms. You’ll be tempted to opt out because it will upset the order of your life, but you may not have much say in the matter. When Mars and Pluto come calling, then the only answer is to respond.

It feels like it’s too soon—too soon to date, try your luck again, or get back out into the world. But aren’t you the one who says there’s never a “right” time? There’s always going to be a problem, a drawback, or a mitigating factor, so you might as well do what you want to do now. The Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius on May 1st shows you emerging from a troubled period and re-engaging with your normal routine. It’s the best way to heal. You’ll discover that this gets your circulation flowing, and once you’re up and moving, things won’t feel so heavy.

No sooner does Venus enter Taurus on April 29th than it will immediately start stirring the pot. People may accuse you of being too chummy with a client, too handsy with a coworker, or hanging out with the “wrong” crowd. Their expectation is that you should quickly amend your behavior, but you may find yourself being uncharacteristically resistant. You don’t like being told who you can hang out with—even more so now that Venus is squaring Pluto in Aquarius. This radically different reaction may cost you some friends, but it only goes to prove that they weren’t really friends in the first place.

Mars entering your sibling sign of Aries on April 30th lights a fire under your tuchis. The difference between Mars in Scorpio and Mars in Aries is a matter of urgency. You’ll feel like everything you take on is infused with a “now or never” importance and that you need to see results immediately. The good thing is that you’ll accomplish more in the next 6 ½ weeks than you have in the past six months. The not-so-good thing is whether or not loved ones and friends will still be talking to you afterward. Come prepared with gift cards and “I’m sorry” texts.

Mars enters Aries on April 30th, but no sooner does it take up residence in its own sign than it will form a sensational sextile to Pluto in Aquarius on May 3rd, making this an auspicious date for any launch, ask, or daring move you have in mind.
The general rule for these planetary energies is “the bolder, the better.” Mars is famous for pushing the envelope as far as it will go, and Pluto is notorious for staring down its opponents —forcing them to blink first.
It’s not for the typically faint of heart, but it may be a time when the faint of heart show off what they’re truly made of — much to the consternation of bullies, cynics, and know-it-alls.
That said, be careful about being too relentless — especially when it comes to changing the minds of people who may not be in agreement with you at first.
Aggressive isn’t the same as confident, and understanding the difference between these two is paramount to your future success. You want to win people over, not steamroll them where they stand.
