Lauren_ Horoscope for May 6-13, 2022

Aries

For Aries, the big thing this week is that Jupiter enters your sign on May 10th. This will particularly affect those born between March 20 and 31, as Jupiter will retrograde on July 28. However, all Aries people are destined to resonate with the energy and promotion of activity that Jupiter brings into your sign. Jupiter represents our vision and hope for the future. So when Jupiter enters your sign like this, it will usher in a whole new 12-year cycle of growth and understanding. In a way, you are shown who you are and what your potential is. Jupiter is our pathfinder and guide, filling us with optimism and enthusiasm in the pursuit of something bigger and better than before. Take your dreams seriously, but also hone them with wisdom and common sense so you know exactly what you want.

Mercury is also retrograde in Gemini this week. When we enter the retrograde phase, our perspective changes... We reflect on our beliefs, those causes and ideals that we are willing to support. We think about why these are so important to us. You want a road map and a plan, but retrograde is more about exploring different routes to get you there. Try different ideas, but don't commit. Mercury is a bit like a liar and usually looks like a good idea when Mercury is retrograde, but it's revealed in June when it goes down again. In the meantime, find your inspiration and you're halfway there.

Taurus

Since Mercury begins its 3-week retrograde phase on May 10, it will ask you to reprioritize the things that are most cherished in your life. This will allow you to reacquaint yourself so that you know what's right for you and what you're really prioritizing. And what you really want to put your precious time, money, and resources into.

On the same day that Mercury retrograde, Jupiter enters the constellation Aries. The wisdom he will impart to you over the next year is very important for your self-esteem and happiness. Jupiter brings to the surface what has been hidden or forgotten. When they are discovered, they can connect with your inner potential. In this way, Jupiter can literally liberate yourself of self-limiting beliefs, regrets or old paradigms that no longer relate to who you are now and what you will become. Through this inner work, in some extraordinary way, you will find healing and the freedom to find your true self again.

Gemini

Now that you've achieved some of your goals, Jupiter is coming and asking you to think about some of what your next steps might be. For Gemini, Jupiter in Aries is about further nurturing the affairs you have already begun. Whether that means expanding your influence on the outside world, or reaching a larger audience with what you do and what you have to say, Jupiter is bold and you have the confidence to grow. Jupiter in Aries next year will give you more exposure to your wishes and may even see a cherished wish become a closer reality.

When Mercury is retrograde in your sign, Jupiter changes the sign, which will allow you to rediscover yourself, what those cherished dreams and/or wishes may actually be. We may lose touch with these in the excitement and noise of everyday life. But when Mercury is in its retrograde phase, it allows us to reflect further on the past and process all the experiences that lead to your time in this place. It emphasizes you, your views, beliefs, and interests. Use Mercury's three weeks of retrograde time to get yourself back on track with those people, places, and things that will restore your sense of humor and make you the best version of yourself.

Cancer

Now that Jupiter has entered Aries, it asks Cancer to see a bigger picture of life. When Jupiter is in Aries, it gives Cancer the opportunity to grow and progress, and may even get some recognition. Jupiter gives you the confidence to pursue initiative and goals. Jupiter wants you to think in terms of growth and progress. Move forward with greater confidence.

Meanwhile, even though Jupiter is speeding into Aries ready for all its challenges, Mercury is in a retrograde phase. This can bring about the bumps and shifts that are common at these stages. But it also allows you to remember and recall all those dreams and ambitions that were once shelved but are now being asked to be revisited. Maybe it was your vision of the future that you forgot. Or a project that you have to put on hold for something else. In a way, you're being asked to connect with something that can serve as guidelines and inspiration for the next 3 weeks. When Mercury travels again in June, you can explore the steps you might want to take to bring this inspiration closer to reality.

Leo

Mercury stays in its retrograde phase for the following week, and as it does, it tries to connect and inspire you with some big visions of the future. You may not be able to hammer out the details until Mercury travels down again in June, but this is an opportunity to explore the possibilities that are available to you. This can include re-evaluating your previous hopes and wishes. What worked for you early in your life may no longer serve you now, or the person you wish to be. It's time to enter new data. But keep an open mind when you do. Jupiter has just entered your fire sign Aries this week, and when it does, it will try to open up you to all sorts of new ideas and possibilities.

Jupiter's first entry into Aries will be beneficial to Leo in the early days of the sign, but all Leos will be encouraged by the optimism that Jupiter brings in Aries. When Jupiter is in Aries, Leos will find themselves eager to learn more about a topic, explore the entire world, or expand their horizons. As you learn or discover something in the following year, you can even see a shift in your entire perspective so that you'll never see things the same way again. Once the fire is ignited, your awareness can grow to such an extent that there is no longer any room for self-limiting thoughts or thoughts.

virgo

Now that Jupiter has moved into Aries, Virgo is ready to benefit from Jupiter's generosity and generosity. When Jupiter is in this constellation, you never know what's going to happen. Your credit increases, you pay off your debts, your partner gets a raise and starts to contribute more. Usually these are all financial benefits, but any big changes that occur when Jupiter is in Aries may end up being the best, even if they may not have been likewise at first. Another benefit that Jupiter brings to Virgo in Aries is almost enlightening. Things you didn't necessarily know before could be discovered, and there can be all sorts of cascading consequences. Get ready for the surprises of the new year.

Meanwhile, your guardian planet Mercury began retrograde from Tuesday and will continue until June 3rd. In addition to the inconveniences, delays, and distractions that these periods typically bring, it gives you the opportunity to take a step back and re-evaluate everything you've accomplished so far. Exploring the past and making it meaningful can help you make better plans and choices for the future. Retrograde periods are usually not the best time to start something new or go in a new direction, because you are bound to change your mind later. But this is a great time to explore your potential and possibilities.

Libra

Jupiter's entry into Aries this week could also help improve Libra's prospects. During the year in which Jupiter is located, Libra will find itself making positive connections that will help them realize their prospects. These new connections are destined to be mutually beneficial, opening up possibilities that you weren't aware of before. In our lives, there will always be the right people who inspire us to do better things and give us the possibility of achieving greater possibilities. Because Jupiter in Aries helps promote positive connections with others, it's a great time to get advice from professionals, consult experts, and seek help as it is needed.

Meanwhile, Mercury is also retrograde in Gemini. When the planet enters the retrograde phase, our views usually change in any way, and in Gemini we are asked to take a step back and deal with all the realities we previously believed about ourselves and the world we live in. When Mercury is retrograde, it is allowing you to let go of any self-limitations that no longer fit you into now, and what you have realized is true. In order to continue to develop and grow, we must go through these cyclical reassessments, to make room for new and better ideas and to abandon the old.

Scorpio

Now that Jupiter has moved into Aries, it can help improve the way you're doing your daily life and activities that you might think is impossible. It might be as simple as releasing your schedule so you'll have more time to do what you really enjoy doing. Or it can improve your work environment and make you feel more fulfilled and rewarded. Jupiter is also our benevolent healer, counselor and guide. When he's in Aries, his goal is to motivate you to find the best therapists and treatments, diets, or daily routines that will improve your health and overall well-being. Also know that Jupiter can make things busier and want to do what you want to do, not what you have to do.

Meanwhile, Mercury is also in a retrograde phase that will last until June 3. In addition to the distractions and misfortunes that the retrograde phase usually brings, it's also an opportunity to connect you with future plans and hopes. Mercury helps us re-evaluate what or isn't working in our lives, weeding out those that are no longer necessary, saying "no" where we need to, and making room for things that support our health and well-being. Over the next few weeks, sit back and think: What does a really good day look like for me? What do I see myself doing? How do you feel? The first step is to be inspired. The next step after that will be to find a way to bring it closer to reality.

Sagittarius

Now that your dominant planet, Jupiter, enters Aries, you'll feel inspired, energized, accept greater challenges, and push yourself to achieve more. Maybe even more than you expected before. Whether that means getting into a race, or focusing on achieving personal best, Jupiter at Aries is designed to increase your enthusiasm and all your energy. It's also just trying to get you out there and do your own thing. Maybe show off and have some fun. Find your own little highlights, let yourself shine, let yourself be inspired, and inspire others at the same time.

Meanwhile Mercury is retrograde in Gemini. This can confuse the current confusion and increase the overall trend of misunderstandings, delays, and distractions. Make sure you can hear clearly what others are saying to you, and make sure that others can hear what you're saying. Otherwise, you may find yourself having to renegotiate the agreement, or have to do the whole thing again. When Mercury is retrograde, sometimes it feels like we're not being heard at all, so you might wonder why you're so bothered. What you do best during this time is listening. When you pay attention to what others are saying, you can learn a lot about them.

Capricorn

Jupiter's entry into Aries will bring a variety of improvements to your family and personal life. People improve their relationships with their families, move to a bigger or better home, or aim to improve the house you now live in. Ultimately, it's about improving your personal security by taking root or supporting the foundation you already have. One way to achieve this is to foster a stronger sense of community. In the years to come, this kind of community will bring you emotional support and a sense of belonging.

Since Mercury is in a retrograde phase this week, you'll want to re-evaluate your daily routine. This can include what you do to keep you healthy and happy, follow up on a health problem, or recheck your diet. But it can also be looking for better ways to manage your time and use it more efficiently, whether at home or at work. One of the difficulties associated with Mercury retrograde in Gemini can be the way that sustained distractions and detours can be obtained. These can also tell us how we need to better organize our workspace and/or what needs to be tinkered with or repaired, whether it's a photocopier, or a project you're working on. This is your opportunity to modify, edit and review before submitting.

Aquarius

Many Aquarius will benefit from the upcoming entry of Jupiter into Aries, which dares to make your life bigger. This could also make it even busier. The most common is to have a feeling of over-commitment. One of the reasons for this could be that you tend to say yes to anything. But Jupiter is in Aries, and who wouldn't want that? We all felt more optimistic and everything became more interesting. In fact, at some point, you are asked to expand your thoughts and your perspective in the coming year, and Jupiter will be in this sign. This includes being able to see things from another person's perspective. Whether it's through a class you take, a book you read, or a conversation you have with your neighbor. Your vision dares to become broader.

Mercury is also in a retrograde phase this week, entering a period of re-evaluation and review. That means throwing away the stuff that no longer works and making room for what you want and need more. What's holding you back from enjoying life and doing what you really want to do instead of what you have to do? In what ways do you find it difficult to get along with others, or to find your own personal community? When Mercury is retrograde, we often enter reflection mode. It's a valuable tool that reminds you of that feeling of joy and spontaneity in life again.

Pisces

When Mercury is retrograde, we often go into reflection mode because it will be from May 10 to June 3. Mercury is even more so in Gemini retrograde, which reminds you of your earliest childhood memories and the qualities associated with home, parenting, and belonging. If you were to think about what home and family mean to you, would you think of this place, or this neighborhood? Or is it because of the people and support you get? One of the things that can happen when Mercury is retrograde in this house is that people do go home, or reconnect with their families, relive old traditions and cultural values. These will all help you re-evaluate what you need most in these areas.

This week, your primary planet, Jupiter, also enters the constellation Aries. It will briefly return to your sign again at the end of October for a few months, but for most of the year, it will give you an acceptable idea. Jupiter is a planet of abundance, and in Aries, it's designed to make you embrace what abundance means to you. This can be taken literally. At this time, people will get a raise, learn how to better manage their resources, or get a windfall. But perhaps more importantly, under the guidance of Jupiter, your sense of self-worth and self-esteem is growing, and Jupiter is here to remind you that you are worth investing in, and you deserve the richness that the universe has to offer.
