Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Saturday May 18
The weekend forecast might be sunny, but you’re ready to make it rain! Two Taurus conjunctions have “prosperity” written all over them. Thanks to Saturday’s innovative hookup of magnetic Venus and mad-scientist Uranus in your financial second house, fresh funding could turn up in unexpected places. Creatively blocked? Step away from your duties and go mingle! Get out in nature for a hike or a bike ride through the blooming gardens. Moving your body can unmoor those stuck thoughts in your psyche and spark inspiration. This weekend also brings a momentous mashup of the assertive Sun and auspicious Jupiter, this year occurring in Taurus and your house of finances. On this “Day of Miracles,” make the most of promising opportunities and sow the seeds for long-term fiscal security. You can probably sniff out great work prospects on your own, but to grow your nest egg in the savviest way, you may want to hire a professional financial adviser. Or, Aries, maybe you will be the “product,” attracting customers with your teaching tools or onstage talents!
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Saturday May 18
This weekend brings two major cosmic convergences in Taurus. Play your cards right and you can easily tap into their superpowers! Saturday’s impulsive hookup of romantic Venus and hotheaded Uranus in your sign could make you prone to wild moves and ill-considered changes. That said, if you’ve been itching to break free from a confining situation or take a bold dating risk, this cosmic combo gives you the guts to do it. Just consider sleeping on any irreversible decisions since this energy can pass as quickly as it arrives. The weekend also brings a dazzling and empowering alignment of the confident Sun and abundant Jupiter in Taurus. This “Day of Miracles” only happens in your sign every 12 years, so you really want to make the most of it! Where have you felt blocked—or ready to blast through to a new level? The stars support you in taking a gamble and betting on yourself. Need a pep talk? Call a friend who knows you’re all that (because you are, Taurus). If you can have faith in a fraction of that, you’ll be unstoppable.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Saturday May 18
Sudden sparks could fly under Saturday’s impulsive hookup of romantic Venus and shock jock Uranus in Taurus. But with this duo nestled in your secretive twelfth house, the object of your attraction might not be 100 percent available. Think twice before pursuing anything clandestine or complicated. While it might seem exciting for a few hours, once this fleeting energy passes, you could be left with a regrettable cleanup job. Here’s a better idea: Think of ways you can add more spice and fantasy to your current romantic situation. Or unplug and explore the most interesting place in town: your own imagination! The weekend also brings a powerful alignment of the resourceful Sun and expansive Jupiter in your twelfth house of introspection and divine downloads. Make the time for an excellent adventure within yourself. By tuning in to your subconscious, you could have an important epiphany or a huge creative breakthrough. Release something toxic or that’s been holding you back. It’s time to let that hurt go, Gemini.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Saturday May 18
Friendly fire? The weekend’s planetary pileups in Taurus activate your social life, with a potential side of romance! As love planet Venus makes a fleeting hookup with spontaneous Uranus this Saturday, a certain relationship could shift from platonic to bionic. If you sense a mutual attraction, you might throw caution to the wind and explore it. Don’t rush into anything you can’t easily reverse, though, as this fickle starmap is ripe terrain for making ill-considered choices. (Jeopardizing a friendship ranks high on the “totally NOT worth it” list.) Dating apps can turn up an intriguing prospect or two this weekend. Break out of the shell and test your “land legs,” Cancer! This weekend also serves a rare and important moment for a group project, so don’t sit back and wait for someone else to make it happen! The conjunction of the creative Sun and expansive Jupiter lands in Taurus, powering up your eleventh house of squad goals. If you’re already collaborating with an innovative group, take the reins and steer everyone to consensus. Later in the day, keep the morale high—or celebrate a Team Crab victory—by corraling everyone to your favorite hangout… first round on you!
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Saturday May 18
Power moves don’t only happen at the office, Leo. The weekend’s planets converge in Taurus and your ambitious tenth house, and some of your best ideas could arrive. Saturday’s union of magnetic Venus and irreverent Uranus in Taurus helps you make a splash while you’re out socializing. Friends can make helpful introductions, or you can just show up and work the room. Since Uranus rules technology, get savvier about positioning yourself as an expert or influencer on social media. DM someone whose work you admire or post about a recent accomplishment. Share the “why” behind your excitement and let your passion show. Professional momentum: spiking! This weekend also brings a rare and important merger of the head-turning Sun and auspicious Jupiter in your tenth house of career ambition and success. Finally, you can blast through that mid-level plateau or branch out on your own—whatever you’ve been dreaming of. Even if you don’t feel ready to take the leap right now, you can start taking significant steps today that will land you in your own version of the winner’s circle soon. Ask, believe, receive.

Bitten by the travel bug? This weekend serves up two planetary pairings in your worldly ninth house. On Saturday, social Venus and spontaneous Uranus unite here. Hop online and press “book now” for tickets or scout a sweet hotel deal for the weekend. If skipping town isn’t an option, connect to faraway friends with an impromptu FaceTime session. While you’re out feting the weekend, chemistry could ignite with someone from a wildly different background or who isn’t your usual type. Explore, but with the caveat that this experimental energy can be fleeting. If you’ve been afraid to make a bold move, take advantage of this weekend’s stars, which will put some major wind in your sails and help you soar.

Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Saturday May 18
Come hither, go away? The weekend forecast could be steamy, thanks to two major mashups in Taurus and your eighth house of smoldering seduction. Love planet Venus and fickle Uranus unite here this Saturday. You could feel strong attraction AND an equally fervent desire to break free, which can be confusing to all parties involved. Craving some breathing room in an intense friendship or romantic situation? No need to burn the entire bridge—just set up clear boundaries and take a few hours to yourself. On the flip side, if you’re feeling neglected, make a playful yet forthright request for some one-on-one attention! It’s a five-star weekend for every kind of hookup, from joint business ventures to the more famously fun kind. The annual merger of the Sun and expansive Jupiter in Pisces—aka “the Day of Miracles”—fires up your eighth house of shared resources, eroticism and intimacy, and you’ll be one lucky Libra if you can hit THAT trifecta! For those who’ve feared that getting too involved will cost you your independence or assets, this Sun-Jupiter conjunction might lend you enough confidence to give it a shot. Just reserve the right to opt out later.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Saturday May 18
With two planetary pairings in Taurus and your commitments house this weekend, relationships are headline news. Give yourself some breathing room on Saturday as romantic Venus hooks up with liberated Uranus here. You are officially a cling-free zone, so don’t feel an ounce of guilt about it, Scorpio! Even the most airtight commitments need a healthy dose of autonomy. A dollop of honesty could help, too. Push yourself to be authentic in all of your dealings. When people know where you stand, they’ll trust you (even) more. Another reason to grace yourself with space? A magnificent mashup of the luminous Sun and fortuitous Jupiter in your seventh house of dynamic duets can spur you to say yes after a round of exhausting analysis. Whether you’re considering a love match or a business partnership, the right connection can enrich your life in profound ways. On the flip side, if you’ve been trying to break free of a union, Jupiter gives you the guts to pull the plug. Also favored under this aspect are long-distance relationships. Maybe one of you is finally ready to make the big move!
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Saturday May 18
Your best weekend accessory: a fashionable fitness tracker. A health-conscious weekend awaits as two rare planetary pairings occur in Taurus and your wellness sector. With beautifying Venus and tech-savvy Uranus united this Saturday, you could be inspired to modernize your health habits. From YouTube HIIT workouts to apps that follow your body rhythms, you’ll enjoy experimenting with these conveniences. But since this transit is fleeting (and fickle), try before you buy. Skip the paid subscriptions and give a few things a test run. Just starting your spring training? Download an audiobook or stream a great playlist while you get out in nature. But that’s not all! The magical meetup of the Sun and your ruler, optimistic Jupiter, in your sixth house of wellness, self-care and organization kicks off a new approach to your health habits—and your daily routines. This Sun-Jupiter merger, dubbed the Day of Miracles, only happens once a year, but you’ll feel its powerful effects for a while. Jupiter encourages you to think big. You might be inspired to commit to running a half-marathon or getting a teaching certification. This is a great day for all kinds of goal-setting: Just watch for being TOO ambitious. A sustainable and repeatable regimen will ultimately get you best results.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Saturday May 18
Your wild side takes the wheel this weekend, thanks to two cosmic convergences in Taurus and your passionate fifth house. On Saturday, anything can happen when outgoing Venus and shock jock Uranus link up here. Your boldness needs an outlet, whether that’s an experimental hookup or a head-turning outfit with an avant-garde twist. While strong feelings can erupt, they can fizzle out just as quickly. It’s fine to get excited about a new friendship or love interest, but make people prove their allegiance before you give them top-tier status. This way to the main stage! You won’t be able to hide in the shadows or play small this weekend either, Capricorn. The Sun is forming a bold merger with exuberant Jupiter, your fifth house of glamour, passion and fame. Without even trying, you’ll exude irresistible animal magnetism. Your natural earthy sensuality will be like catnip to hordes of admirers and would-be inamoratos. Single Caps will have their pick of the litter, so choose wisely. Couples can stoke the embers with some undistracted one-on-one time.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Saturday May 18
Is your home decor ready for a refresh? The weekend’s two planetary duos in Taurus puts the spotlight on your domestic fourth house. First, beautifying Venus and innovative Uranus have a one-day hookup here this Saturday. If you’ve veered too far into period antiques and retro finds, it may be time for a modern upgrade (and yes, mid-century partially counts). But feel free to go even further into your futuristic side, Aquarius. Whether it’s a smart-home device or a sculpture made of recycled glass and metal, the contrast of old and new can add an exciting visual twist. Just make sure you include your household companions in decisions affecting the common areas! It might be hard to drag yourself out of your cozy abode this weekend, thanks to the yearly meetup of the exuberant Sun and abundant Jupiter in these same homey quarters. But that doesn’t mean you’ll be kicking up your feet. This can-do energy can get idling projects in gear. And how about an impromptu potluck dinner party at Chateau Water Bearer? Start sending out texts and get everyone psyched. Searching for a new address? The Sun-Jupiter conjunction is dubbed the Day of Miracles. If there was ever a day to check out listings or visit an open house, this is it!
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Saturday May 18
Dare to share, Pisces! A talkative weekend is in store with two rare planetary pairings in Taurus and your communication quarters. This Saturday, when harmonizer Venus and radical Uranus unite here, you’ll feel inspired to speak your truth. Your authenticity can open new doors. Just remember to bring Venus’ grace and tact to avoid shocking people. You might have insta-BFF chemistry with someone you meet today, but the connection could fizzle just as fast as it started, so don’t rush. Instead of blurting your whole life story in one conversation, spread it out over a few hangouts. You won’t be at a loss for words this weekend either. All you need to do is set an intention, open your mouth and trust that perfect sentences will flow. You can thank the magical mashup of the confident Sun and forthright Jupiter in Taurus, your third house of communication, for this plucky gift of gab. Have the awkward convo; pitch that genius idea you’ve been sitting on over brunch. Virtual dialogue is supported, too, so if you’ve been waiting for the ideal moment to launch an effective social media campaign, this is it!
