General
May 11, 2026 - May 17, 2026A meeting with an old friend could prove quite delightful, particularly if you haven't seen each other in some time. Chances are good that you've both changed and you might get along better now than you did in the past. And with Jupiter pushing forward in your sector of talk and thought, communications look more promising in general. If you've been waiting for news, you should hear fairly soon. If you work in the media, opportunities for more projects may come your way.
Love - Romantic
Monday's not the most inspirational day, heart-wise plan some you-time and serious relaxation. Be ready to re-explain yourself to your sweetie or a potential one around Wednesday; your communication, whether verbal, email or otherwise, could be misinterpreted in an almost comical way. The things you're learning about love and (perhaps more importantly) about yourself between Thursday and Saturday will last and last, long after the current emotions have faded. Look at the big picture now. On Sunday, you're particularly tuned in to others with what's practically a sixth sense interesting!
Business - Money
Your mood swings on Monday and Tuesday are extreme. You're not going to feel much like venturing out of your office. But it's important to interact. It's especially important to interact when there's a difference of opinion, as there will be on Wednesday. Consider the value of the devil's-advocate argument, then figure out a way to get around it. When you work with this many variables and this many people, flexibility is essential. The pressure will lift on Friday and you'll be able to take a long lunch and let your mind wander all afternoon and into the weekend.
