Your daily horoscopes for Wednesday May 22, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 22
Lead with your intellectual curiosity today and oh, the places you’ll go! As deep-diving Pluto makes a flowing formation with the illuminating Sun, your mind could be blown by a passage of text or a stimulating group dialogue. Don’t wait for the conversations to come to you. Pop into a think tank or organize a brainstorming session with people whose visionary skills always elevate your ideas to the next level. Been waiting for the right moment to form (or storm!) a friend group? This popularity-boosting angle makes a people magnet out of you.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 22
Buckle up, Bull! Today’s momentous mashup of the Sun and intense Pluto could accelerate career developments before you even hit the gas. While the pace may be faster than your thoughtful sign prefers, stay on the ride. Once you get your “land legs,” this fantastic voyage might lead you to accomplished people who can support your own career trajectory. If you have something to offer a younger colleague, be generous. The 15 minutes of support you provide could lead to a lifetime of loyalty.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 22
Go where the action is, Gemini—or BE the action, if you can’t find it elsewhere. As the Sun in your sign gets an adventurous jolt from deep-diving Pluto, your magnetism can’t be contained. Intellectual stimulation is your go-to fix, but today, you need to take that curiosity into the physical realm. After a heady discussion, move your body. Whether you’re doing asanas in a heated yoga class, shouting mantras from a SoulCycle bike or artfully instructing your lover in new ways to please you, this will keep any of the day’s excitable energy from being blocked in your body.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 22
Growth isn’t always the ideal benchmark, Cancer. Aim for depth instead as today’s compelling connection between the Sun and Pluto sends you down a soulful rabbit hole. If you sense there’s more to a situation than meets the eye, you won’t be able to stop yourself from plummeting into a voyage of discovery. But with investigative Pluto in your shadowy eighth house, your detective work could unearth something scandalous—and the wisest choice may be to avoid getting involved.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 22
The more will be the merrier for a minute today, but you’ll quickly radar in on your favorites in any crowd. If you sense a stronger-than-average connection, don’t feel guilty about breaking away from the group for some one-on-one dialogue. With today’s racy alignment of the Sun and potent Pluto, you could exchange more than the names of your favorite bands or the tattoo artists you follow on Instagram. But since this cosmic combo can lead to obsession, make SURE the other party is feeling a similar spark before you cross into the physical realm.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 22
System overload! Close all browser tabs and log out of distracting apps. Today’s frenetic Sun-Pluto trine could bring a career upswell. The trouble is, you could be too stressed out by all the input and outflow to notice what’s actually important. In the interest of discernment (and productivity!), keep your focus as sharp as a Jedi’s lightsaber. Screen calls that flash the yellow light of drama, and cancel meetings that aren’t absolutely imperative. Prioritizing is the path to profitability.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 22
What feels “extra” on the average day could be right on the money under today’s flowing formation of the Sun and excavator Pluto. When in doubt, add a splash of neon or a flowery metaphor. When faced with an adventurous option, don’t demur if your instinct says “let’s do this!” Your fierce initiative could get the fun started, whether you’re booking a retreat with your best friends or giving a percolating attraction a trial run.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 22
Your Spidey senses are tingling today as the Sun and your ruler, powerhouse Pluto, join forces and amplify your intuition. Follow any “hits” that you get, even if they don’t make sense at first. These may appear as cryptic urges to turn down a certain road, walk into a shop or ask a “random” question that opens up a vortex of possibilities. Warning: Familiarity can breed contempt under this fiery transit. Spread yourself around instead of overstaying your welcome—or letting anyone hover in your space when you’re ready to switch it up.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 22
Variety is the spice of life for an intrepid Sagittarius, and today, that restless energy could extend to your social and romantic interactions. With the Sun winking at alchemical Pluto, you’ll be drawn to anything and everyone new. You may lose track of time talking to a coffee shop comrade about the author you’re both reading and bantering with the barista. But don’t leave your ride-or-die people in the lurch, Archer. Listening to their same old stories might be as entertaining as watching paint dry, but where would you be without their support? If you can, deftly steer the conversation to new topics or ask curious questions to draw out their motives.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 22
Some days it indeed takes a village, Capricorn; then there are times when you just need to roll up your sleeves and get the damn job done yourself. Thanks to an industrious power surge from the Sun and potent Pluto, you may be most productive as a solo act today. Before you forge ahead, make sure you aren’t confusing busywork with meaningful tasks. To avoid a meltdown, create a to-do list and prioritize carefully. If you keep your head down, you could end the day with a feather in your cap and a well-deserved happy hour toast.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 22
Literally wear your heart on your sleeve today, Aquarius, as a flamboyant Sun-Pluto trine calls for stylish self-expression. When you find yourself reaching for the denim and T-shirt go-tos, let the style fairies intervene. Surely there must be something that mirrors the deeper dimensions of your soul in your closet. No? An adventurous trip to the resale shop or your favorite boutique might be needed after work. This isn’t a superficial quest. Removing the camouflage is the way to attract your flock. Birds of a feather…
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 22
Shield your field! On a typical day, you’d swan-dive into any cuddle puddle. But plunging into the deeper end of the pool with people (and especially getting physical with them) isn’t something to be done thoughtlessly under today’s Sun-Pluto trine. You could break from a lingering hug feeling utterly awkward as the other person develops expectations or you get attached…or regrets surface. Nothing wrong with exploration, of course, but take time to discern who you’re dealing with. One “amazing conversation” is simply not enough for you to make that call.
