Your Weekly Overview May 17th – May 23rd

Casual encounters are about as popular as shared plates and live breathwork seminars (read: NOT) these days. But among the growing list of ironic silver linings, “social distancing” has opened up space for a deeper intimacy over the past year-plus. Get ready! Budding connections could blossom into something “seriously serious” this Wednesday, May 19, when supportive Saturn in Aquarius locks eyes with radiant, romantic Venus in Gemini. Both planets are parked in buzzy air signs which fans Cupid’s more tempestuous flames. But it’s all good because this transit can light a bright fire in our hearts. In our heads, too, since the spark of attraction may build into a legendary love affair!

Looking for love? The Venus-Saturn trine urges you to check out mature options. Not necessarily in age but in their ability to “adult” and be a trusty partner. You MAY fall for someone a little older or who is comfortable in the role of the provider—even if you have no designs on being anyone’s sugar baby. If an existing relationship has been rocky, Saturn lends supportive scaffolding to Venus and helps us diplomatically discuss the problems at hand. What seemed scary to broach earlier in the week may be solved with shockingly simple logic this weekend. Focus on solutions and try to remember that you’re on the same team.

Keep the practical magic, and the pot of tea, brewing. This Wednesday is the last day of 2021 that the Sun will be in Taurus. Think like a project manager: How’s the budget looking? Is the calendar organized, and is there enough white space for relaxation time along with all the work (work, work, work, work)? Streamline and simplify now, and you won’t go into overload mode on Thursday, May 20, when the Sun joins messenger Mercury in buzzy, outgoing Gemini.

El Sol will beam its rays in the sign of the Twins until June 20, making two everyone’s favorite number. Pairing up is the way to win—and possibly with someone from your past since Mercury will be retrograde from May 29 to June 22. But don’t feel obligated to make a single person your go-to for everything; in fact, that’s never the best move. Your morning walk buddy might not make the ideal rooftop drinks plus-one. And even if they do, ‘tis the season to branch out!

Gemini governs the neighborhood scene, so start by checking out any newly reopened local venues to find your fix. Not only will you save money on gas, but you’ll boost the local economy: a win-win. Then again, this might be the prompt you’ve been waiting for to embrace bi-city living. What’s happening a few towns over…or even further away?

As the cosmic communicator, Gemini gets us excited to write, broadcast and make media. Maybe it’s time to film a documentary about a talented person in your area whose story needs to be told. Is brevity the soul of your brand of wit? Keep the snappy social media posts coming. In 2021, “Social Media Influencer” is still a thriving profession…and might just become yours.
