Your horoscope for the week ahead: Practise radical honesty with the people around you

Ready for a collective mood shift? You may notice a spirit of curiosity in the air as the spirit-driving sun enters inquisitive Gemini on Tuesday. This transit tends to make us more open-minded and flexible in our thinking, allowing us to soak up knowledge quickly and explore unconventional ways of getting things done. Use this energizing influence to chase your passions and collaborate with others on ideas that really excite you. Just be mindful of the commitments that you make over these next few weeks, as the shadow side of Gemini season can sometimes make us a bit flaky. 

Following your romantic impulses could pay off in a big way when charismatic Venus in daring Aries trines energetic Mars in courageous Leo on Thursday. Our natural charms are often magnified under this influence, blessing us with the confidence to flirt up a storm and perhaps even stir up some drama. Not interested in chasing a love connection? This could also be a beautiful moment to connect with your nearest and dearest and get a little spontaneous; have fun breaking out of your everyday routines by exploring new activities and experiences together. 

Later on Thursday, the ego-ruling sun in curious Gemini will sextile dreamy Neptune in independent Aries, which could put you in touch with your inner wisdom in ways that feel pretty electrifying. You may even find that this aspect brings you a fresh understanding of your place in the world and encourages you to dream up new visions for the future. Don't be afraid to employ a little fantastical thinking as you reassess your goals. The expansion of awareness that this influence provides can help you move forward with renewed hope and courage. 

Then, your ambition could skyrocket when disciplined Saturn enters confident Aries on Saturday night or early Sunday, depending on your time zone. But don't expect rewards to come easy as the ringed planet moves through the cardinal fire sign. The gifts that Saturn has to offer us will require consistent hard work and focus to acquire. Do your best to recognize the value of trial and error over these next three months, and don't let the challenges you face deter you from giving it your all. 

Finally, as communicative Mercury moves into social Gemini on Sunday, you may feel inspired to open up and practise some radical honesty with the people around you. When the messenger planet passes through the mutable air sign, it can be a particularly illuminating experience. Still, we must be mindful of how much we share with others, as careless words can carry extra weight — and travel fast — under this influence. Fight the temptation to gossip, and focus on wowing people with your storytelling and wit instead. 

Here is your horoscope for the week of Monday, May 19, 2025.

Who makes you feel truly seen, Sagittarius? Over the next few weeks of Gemini season, your relationships, partnerships and friendships will likely come into focus, urging you to examine the qualities of the people you surround yourself with.

However, if you're feeling more ambitious, this could be an excellent moment to start writing down everything you want to accomplish within your space. Put your creative mind to work and you could come up with some money-saving solutions to manifest your dream home.
