Your daily horoscopes for Wednesday May 15, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 15
You’ve got money on your mind as mental Mercury decamps to Taurus and your belt-tightening second house until June 3. Over the next few weeks, inspiration could strike for a lucrative business project, or you might conjure new ways to ramp up brand awareness for your business. Crunch the numbers for the venture you want to tackle—the potential profit margins could surprise you! If you’re up for a raise or promotion, anything you pitch now will reward you handsomely. Don’t be afraid to step up to the plate and sell yourself, Aries!
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 15
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 15
Get those creative juices flowing, Gemini. Creative Mercury, your ruling planet, sets up shop in Taurus and your twelfth house of musing until June 3. For the next two weeks, give your chatty, analytical side a much-needed break and allow your imagination to drive. You’ll benefit from taking time to reflect: journal, meditate, draw or paint. Get plenty of deep sleep during this cycle since vivid dreams will be ripe with symbolism and meaning. If there’s an old wound you’ve suppressed, let it come to the surface now for release. Mercury helps you find forgiveness—even if the person you most need to forgive is yourself.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 15
Scan your social media profiles and do a Google search of your name. Are you representing online as well as you are in real time? Expressive Mercury shifts into Taurus and your tech-savvy eleventh house until June 3. Consider a virtual makeover—or makeunder if you’ve been a bit of an online oversharer. Streamline your tweets and posts, add your latest hits to LinkedIn and pose for profile photos that reveal your personality and your professionalism. You never know who will be searching for someone like you over the coming two weeks. And just like with real-life introductions, you don’t get a second chance to make a good first impression.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 15
Polish up your presentation, Leo. Expressive Mercury treks into Taurus and your sector of success until June 3, giving you a high-pro glow. Wheels you set into motion now could lay the groundwork for years to come, so consider your ambitious path carefully. While live-it-up Leos are prone to major FOMO, reserve space in your calendar for VIP invitations and events that benefit your career. With social Mercury guiding your actions, you could add some influential names to your contact database over the coming few weeks or get certified in a skill that bumps you up to a higher pay grade.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 15
You’re always one to read between the lines, Virgo, but with your ruler, chatty Mercury, exiting your meticulous eighth house today, you’re ready to focus on the big picture. Until June 3, the messenger planet cruises through Taurus and your visionary ninth house. This expansive and forward-thinking cycle has you feeling refreshed and worldly. Are you overdue for a vacation? A change of scenery can pull you out of a rut. If you can’t get away, expand your mind to widen your horizons and save your airline miles for later. Enroll in interesting seminars, attend lectures and town halls, queue up the TED Talks. What you discover now could inspire you to start a small business or a blog!
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 15
Don your Sherlock chapeau and let the sleuthing begin. Detail-obsessed Mercury slips into Taurus and your investigative eighth house until June 3, sounding the call for some detective work. Hidden agendas and vague intentions may be the norm, so take nothing at face value. Dig into your finances: You could discover hidden charges in need of canceling—and funds that can be flowed into your investment accounts. Your love life heats up under this seductive spell, and a mysterious type will draw you like a moth to a flame. As fellow Libra Oscar Wilde observed, “Uncertainty is the very essence of romance.” Coupled Libras might create a little more distance just to rev up the sparks.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 15
There you go, finishing people’s sentences for them, Scorpio. With communicative Mercury ducking into Taurus and your partnership zone until June 3, you’re totally tuned in. Your sign is naturally intuitive—and while you often know what’s coming next in a conversation, no one enjoys being cut off mid-sentence. For the next few weeks, practice “mirroring,” an active listening technique that ensures the other person they’re being heard. You don’t need to repeat what they say verbatim, just reflect back your takeaway before adding your personal commentary. You can even strengthen the most casual connection by using this respectful communication style.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 15
Meticulous Mercury makes a pit stop in Taurus and your sixth house of details until June 3. Get down to the nitty-gritty of even the most menial tasks. Chances are you’ve let some administrative to-do’s pile up: scheduling doctor’s appointments, organizing paperwork, finishing your taxes. Streamline and systematize while the data-driven planet sharpens your focus. Give your wellness routines an update too. Search for fitspo online, find a ClassPass to try out new studios. Geeky Mercury loves to track with digital devices, so accessorize with your FitBit and check out apps like MyFitnessPal for logging exercise and meals.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 15
Bring on the flowery metaphors and dramatic flourishes! Expressive Mercury zips into Taurus and your flamboyant fifth house until June 3, encouraging you to live—and speak—with passion. While this may feel out of character for your reserved sign, your mic-dropping commentaries will get everyone thinking outside the box. Keep a capture tool handy as you let the creative juices flow. This Mercury cycle emboldens your romantic pitches. Take the lead, Capricorn, but back up your words with action so you don’t get labeled a player.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 15
Ground control to Aquarius, do you copy? Communication planet Mercury shifts into Taurus and your domestic zone until June 3, pulling you back down to Earth. You’ll enjoy nesting and entertaining at Chez Aquarius, but you don’t have to be tethered to base. Pay a visit to your folks or a childhood friend; return to your old stomping grounds. Collaborating with women could be quite fruitful over the coming few weeks. Scout out the powerhouses in your radius and brainstorm away!
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 15
Out out the cocoon you go! Garrulous Mercury soars through Taurus and your third house of communication until June 3, turning you into a shameless social butterfly. Don’t say yes to every invitation, though. Your calendar could quickly get cluttered with all the lectures, workshops and happy hours you’re asked to attend. Organize group hangs so you can see all the people you love, but choose a few connections you’d like to nurture with more one-on-one time. A kindred spirit could evolve from acquaintance to legit friend over the next few weeks.
