What is in your horoscope this week - May 8, 2023

These are the horoscopes for week commencing May 8, 2023.

Aries 21 March – 20 April

A surprising offer could come out of the blue, and you may be delighted with the possibilities associated with it. And yet with messenger Mercury rewinding you might also doubt that anything could come from it. It may seem too good to be true. Talk to a few people first and get some feedback. Their sensible advice might be just what you need to get moving.

Taurus 21 April – 21 May

The start of the week may take an interesting turn and it’s wise to expect the unexpected. Still, with prudent Saturn in the picture, friends might encourage you to be cautious. But why should you be? In fact, a zesty Quarter Moon in a high-flying zone can inspire you to think out of the box and to be as original as possible. If you want to get noticed, this is the way to go, Taurus.

Gemini 22 May – 21 June

Your inventive and creative nature will be to the fore, encouraging you to try new ways of doing things. Even so, you may be worried about your reputation if you stray too far from the main path. Don’t be, as you’ll hold yourself back. A Mercury/Saturn tie suggests you could be projecting your doubts and fears onto a situation and overthinking. Why not get on with it?

Cancer 22 June – 23 July

You may get a surprise invite from someone, and if you go along it could make your week. You might be introduced to an experience or interest that you can’t get enough of. There’s also a pull towards the past, and you may be tempted to visit a place that once held great fascination for you. It won’t be the same, but you can make an interesting discovery along the way.

Leo 24 July – 23 August

An eye-opening opportunity could show up out of nowhere, and you may get very excited about it. You’ll be eager to get going and might find any waiting around to be hard. But with Mercury retro ongoing, it won’t pay to be too quick off the mark. There may be a flaw that you haven’t spotted yet. A zesty lunar phase suggests listening to someone whose advice you trust, Leo.

Virgo 24 August – 23 September

Have a brilliant idea or thinking about the consequences of an uplifting conversation? There’s a lot going on in your brain, but not all of it is helpful. Old beliefs may conflict with fresh ideas and new thinking, which is awkward if you need to make a decision. The Quarter Moon encourages you to opt for the path less travelled, and deep down you know why, Virgo.

Libra 24 September – 23 October

Sparks may fly, and there could be an instant attraction to someone which might be romantic or just because they are refreshingly different. Connecting with them further can make this week special. You’ll also be busy with tasks that may be a tad mundane, but if you don’t sort them out now they might never get done. Promise yourself an indulgent treat to spur you on.

Scorpio 24 October – 22 November

An intuitive insight about someone could give you all the information you need, but will you trust it? It may be difficult if they’re showing a different side to their personality and appear a tad underwhelming. Give them a chance, and over the coming days their true nature and personality could blossom. Once you see them for who they are, you won’t have any doubts.

Sagittarius 23 November – 21 December

You may long to do something different and exciting, but if mundane jobs have piled up you’ll feel duty-bound to get them sorted. If you ignore the call to adventure then you might regret it, so see if you can delegate some of those jobs. The Quarter Moon could also be a force for good, as it might encourage you to get moving on a very clever idea. Don’t think about it for too long!

Capricorn 22 December – 20 January

There’s something in the air! If you get a nudge to go somewhere or do something then follow through. But be prepared for life to surprise you anyway. There’s also the potential for an unexpected reunion that could bring back pleasant memories. Ready to get involved in a collaboration? Someone’s creative imagination could complement your practical nature.

Aquarius 21 January – 19 February

The Sun’s link with revolutionary Uranus might reveal some exciting news, and it may be just what’s needed to boost your spirits. Plus, you could be dealing with a lot of household expenses that need organizing. Perhaps you’re keen to cut back where possible to give you more cash for other things. Keep looking, as a brilliant deal or offer can make life so much easier, Aquarius.

Pisces 20 February – 20 March

A call or text could get your attention, and it may be an invite or information that gives you a jolt of pleasure. You have a lot going for you, but your mood can dip as Mercury aligns with Saturn. There might be a tendency to think about the worst-case scenario rather than the fabulous outlook that awaits you. Exit your comfort zone and life will change for the better.
