Daily Horoscopes, 5.17.21

Aries: I hope what you value changes if it does not support you. Feeling safe and comfortable is not a luxury, even for someone who can sacrifice such things for their desires. Rather, you are being asked to go deep into how you present yourself to the world. Does it include your beautiful messiness or are you afraid of showing up imperfectly? It will be hard to keep up facades, so drop what you cannot control and focus on what you need to get through this juicy transition. Coming from a grounded and real place with others gives them the same empowerment to do so themselves. 

Taurus: Who are your teachers, dear Taurus? Who do you turn to for guidance and who has helped you shape how you live your life? Pay attention to any information surrounding them or your chosen belief system that may be exposed today. Perhaps it will spur you to go deeper into your own questions. Perhaps it will turn you off from any gods and masters from a while. Either way, let the revelations surrounding your knowledge system or mentors filter back into questions about yourself: who do you want to be or who are you already that just needs to come out? You do not need to announce your change; the right people will feel it. 

Gemini: Psyche did not need to know how her journey to the Underworld would end for her to be united with Eros, her true love. She simply had to keep walking. You too may find yourself on a path with no edges or light. Just know the light shines from inside you, guiding you by some invisible clock. You may get help from others along the way but it may not always be clean; consider how much you can give another without taking something away. Consider the energy sucks in your life and which you can no longer support. The more the shadow is swept the less oozes out into the light. 

Cancer: Who you are associated with intimately may be different than the sorts of people you meet in your wider community, but your relationship to both sorts of connections constantly inform each other. When I say there’s a darkness in your committed relationships, I don’t mean evil. I just mean mystery, shadow, something deeper to uncover. Notice if there is care from the other in this digging or if it just makes you feel farther away from them. Your ability to discern who can go the distance with you will determine how much energy you can give and receive in your larger circles. These are the people that help you further your dreams and shape your future. Let all who don’t really see you fall away. 

Leo: Any of the dissatisfactions, inefficiencies and meaningless work surrounding your daily routines are being exposed. Pay attention to your discomfort; there is a message in there. Work can reveal and work can cover up, remember. Allow your labors to be a site of revelation; your self care and rest too. By better aligning your daily routines with your sense of fulfillment, you are able to shine that much brighter. But trust there’s a simplicity to your social role. The more comfortable you feel in your body, the more you trust it, the more people can see your brightness. Don’t forget how the trees grow. 

Virgo: Your pleasures may not be so simple today. Any unhealthy habits or avoidant patterns around your creative life are being exposed and I suggest you heed them without judgment. What we don’t want is always inside what we want so be curious about what you desire in the first place. Let this inquiry lead you to deeper questions about your belief system. Does your life feel like it’s only yours or do you have a relationship with a system of wisdom or guides? Surrender the idea of knowing all the answers. Simply walk the long walk with an open mind. See where it takes you. 

Libra: Today asks you to go deeper with your inner life. Is there a discomfort or fear you have been avoiding feeling? Has solitude or privacy become a scary place? There’s a need to get right with your very foundations, though this can also include issues with familial patterns and inheritance. Consider how your own healing extends backwards and heals the pain of all the ancestors who could not do it themselves. Doing so will help you enact strong boundaries so that you can come together with other people without losing yourself. Enmeshment in and of itself can be a beautiful thing. It can also stoke past wounds. You get to decide how much you take in. 

Scorpio: If you’re looking to root out the secrets holding you back, don’t look very far. It’s in the way you think, what you encounter every day, the haunts that have become familiar. The very way you live your daily life is asking to be changed, as well as how you interact with friends, siblings, housemates and neighbors. Set the boundaries you need. Accept your limits. From there, you can better show up for your more intimate partnerships and collaborators. Yes, on some level your relationships should be easy in terms of getting support and love. But work must still be put in to show up clearly and lovingly. Make sure it’s happening on both sides. 

Sagittarius: To find the proper rhythm with your current work life, which is getting a lot of attention, you must remember why you are doing what you are doing. Are your values and resources being replenished by your labors? Does your body have room to rest and feel good? Do you believe you deserve this? Consider how what you value is changing, or see what beliefs limit your ability to pursue what you want to pursue. Life will always have its tasks but no one is helped when you busy yourself with what you do not know. 

Capricorn: How we express ourselves can never be “wrong” really, but it can reveal or occlude. What is the gap between who you feel yourself to be and what you present others? While you certainly get to decide what you are comfortable sharing, it’s worth interrogating if your joy or art is not all it can be because of some deeper part of yourself you are avoiding. Letting the truth of a difficult emotion or experience arise does not give it more power but allows you to flow with it, accepting it without becoming it. How can you bring more of this complexity into your creative practice? What gift can you give others by showing up exactly as yourself?

Aquarius: Superficial comfort is not so comfortable. While most of your energy is focused on your home spaces and inner life, there are deeper, more shadowy influences that must be allowed in for true inner harmony to be achieved. Solitude and listening is a good way to let these uneasy feelings come to light. So is allowing all of your emotional experience to arise without judgment. Give all of your parts a space that they can call home. Watch your home grow. 

Pisces: You are allowed to change your mind. You are allowed to break vows to futures that are no longer for you. Are there hangups tied up in your aspirations that are hurting you or holding you back? First focus on how you want to spend just a day. What would you eat? Who would you see? What would you do or read or practice? From there, let your dreams rearrange themselves. Focus on the feeling of possibility rather than scarcity. If you don’t start cultivating your mind set now, the negativity will follow you even as you do become successful. Trust lightness, joy, right here and now.
