SAGITTARIUS HOROSCOPE

Picking up your things and leaving in a huff is never the way to go. It didn't work in kindergarten and it won't work now. Sagittarians don't always take criticism well (you're worse than Leos) and you often react as if you've been personally singled out. Nevertheless a loved one won't back down which begs the question: is it so hard to say that you messed up? People mess up all the time without making such a big deal of it. Yes, the truth hurts, but you'll never improve if you don't listen to what needs to be said. Besides, it comes from a good place.

It looks like you're sitting on an opportunity that you can't do anything with. It's frustrating, but it's also pretty clear that it would only go to waste in your hands. That said, this opportunity (maybe it's an offer, a contact, or even someone you're dating who you know you're not that into) could really transform somebody else's life for the better. So do you part with it? Will there be regrets? That's the question you'll face on June 17th when Venus opposes Pluto. It won't be easy giving something up, but you already know that it's the right thing to do in the end.

The Venus/Jupiter conjunction on June 9th absolves you of a debt, penalty, or costly obligation. There's always a remote possibility that this will be done by a mystery patron (like in a 19th-century novel), but chances are it will be by some agency or loan forgiveness company. It's a relief, but you're not out of the woods yet because there are still a number of things you will have to do in return for being helped out. Not the clean break you were hoping for, but it's enough to keep the wolf from the door until your Ruling Planet enters the zodiac sign of Leo.

Are you reconsidering something you said you never would? Stranger things have been known to happen when Saturn forms a sextile to the Sun. Saturn represents doubt in Astrology and typically it undermines our confidence when we need to be resolute or casts a pall over a sweet and tender moment, but all of that changes on June 2nd. As a sextile, Saturn makes us thoughtful and reflective and leads us to revisit situations that might not have been handled well the first time. Heed this impulse to reexamine your position and you'll make peace with a past action that never sat comfortably with you.

Your emotions are loud and your opinions colorful when there's a Full Moon in Sagittarius on May 30th. And if people don't like it, then that's their problem. You are being true to what you feel! You're apt to be more expressive than receptive, which means that anyone who wants to talk about their feelings is going to have to crank up the volume. Otherwise, they're going to get drowned out. It's true that there's a tendency to take up all the oxygen in the room, yet it can also be said unequivocally that there is no Full Moon more uplifting when spirits are down.

It will be hard to tell if things are on or off when the Sun conjoins Uranus, the planet of about-faces, on May 22nd. Thankfully, you were born under a zodiac sign that understands what it's like to suffer a bout of cold feet. You have special insight into what it feels like when the pen door is closing. In fact, you've bolted several times when you felt like your freedom was being curtailed, which is why you would never force anyone to make a decision before they're ready. It's this lived experience that ensures that things will turn out the way they're meant to.

A new wave of associations will soon enter your life and you could see your roster of who’s who change over the next few months. But are these people true blue or fair-weather friends? It’s a legitimate question to ask given the string of disappointments you’ve experienced lately. However, the real problem may be with the entourage you currently surround yourself with. To paraphrase an old Janet Jackson song from the 1980s… what have they done for you lately? These new involvements may be more than just fresh faces. They may be set to replace those ties that have proven too unreliable or one-sided.

You've been on a roll lately, so it makes perfect sense that you'd be thrown for a loop by the Mars/Jupiter square on May 4th. You might say this is what you get for believing that things are going well, but this unexpected wrinkle has more to do with events that were already set in motion and nothing to do with you. If anything, it's thanks to the obstacles you've faced over the past two years that you'll know how to navigate this setback. Have faith in your ingenuity and resourcefulness. They've gotten you this far, and they show no signs of waning anytime soon.

A closed door slowly squeaks open this week. Evidently, someone who decided things were over between you is now thinking better of it – but don't hold your breath waiting for them to contact you directly. It looks more like you'll be approached by a mutual friend or some other intermediary. Your first response may be to skip it. You've moved on with your life and aren't really looking for a reconciliation; however, you should see what's up. Venus's translation of light from Pluto to Saturn is both rare and encouraging. Nobody's saying you have to be besties, but being back on speaking terms might be nice.

Did somebody set up a revolving door in your love life? It's a question worth asking with Uranus opposite you in the sky. You can expect to see a high turnover as people come in and out. This has less to do with your commitment phobia than it does with the craziness of their lives. And of course, the more unavailable someone is, the more enthralled you become. But this isn't a game of now you see 'em, now you don't; what you're experiencing is a role reversal in your relationships, and nothing brings that point home like the shoe being on the other foot.
