Your Weekly Horoscope Says You’ll Meet Someone New (or Have Love at First Sight)

Your horoscope for the week of May 12 to May 18 says you’re about to walk through a portal to future. Unexpected changes and shakeups are in store, so buckle your seatbelt and enjoy this unpredictable ride.

Every astrologer knew Taurus season 2024 would be a more chaotic and exciting experience than it usually is. Taurus may be the fixed earth sign of steadiness and reliability, but on May 13, the sun will become one with Uranus, planet of innovation, rebellion, and societal breakthroughs. This could inspire you to go against the grain in a meaningful way; to embody an idea that may be ahead of its time. You don’t have to live by conventional norms or measure up to anyone else’s expectations, so why should you? Luckily, love planet Venus—ruler of Taurus—also forms a helpful sextile with grounding Saturn on May 13, which will allow us to process these changes more gracefully and with respect to longterm effectiveness.

Taurus season kicks even more further into gear on May 15, when chatty and intellectual Mercury enters its sensual and down-to-earth territory. Mercury in Taurus may not be fast-paced or quick-thinking, but it does allow us to pause and ponder before making a move. It also opens a window of communication that’s based on truth, practicality, and a carefully considered plan. However, a major drawback is that it could lead to stubborn and unforgiving mindsets, as well as a very slow response rate for email and text messages. Oh, and you can forget about phone calls. Save those for when Mercury enters Gemini on June 3.

Conversations could veer into dark and forbidden territory by May 17, when Mercury forms a square with Pluto—the detective and the destroyer—lifting up the veil to reveal what lurks behind the lies. Take care not to get entangled in manipulative situations or encounters with rude, untrustworthy people.

You can expect the chaos of Taurus season to impact your relationships and financial status by May 18, when Venus—planet of lust and luxury—joins the party with revolutionary Uranus. Instability will impact what you value, and relationships could come to an end at the same time another one begins. You could meet someone new, and even experience love at first sight. However, this could also lead to unexpected purchases, losses, and financial gains.

All of this is building up to a beautiful crescendo on May 18, when the Taurus sun joins forces with expansive and extravagant Jupiter. This could lead to a major conclusion that allows you to realize your strength and have confidence in your identity. It could bring a feeling of excess to a certain area of your life, especially in terms of love and money. Something is about to feel overflowing and overwhelming in your life. In the words of the Spice Girls: “Too much of something is bad enough / But something’s coming over me to make me wonder.”
