Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

How close to “sanctuary” status is your home sweet home? On Tuesday, May 26 provocateur Mars in your emotional fourth house squares off with spiky Pluto in your sign. Ouch! Hard-won serenity may be replaced by bickering and competitive vibes. Your normally thick skin will be paper-thin, and tiny slights could feel like battle-worthy salvos. First thing to do? TRY not to take things so personally. Reframe your overreaction as a sign that you’ve been pushing yourself too hard and not getting adequate self-care or support. The fourth house rules all things feminine, so turn to the ladies in your life to recharge your batteries. On the other side of the coin, set some serious limits with people who only make withdrawals and not deposits into the Emotional Bank of Aquarius. Ultimately this friction-filled square can teach you to prioritize yourself instead of always being the entertainment director for everyone else. While you cherish your inner circle, you need to fly free at times. Let people know this and don’t worry about whether they’ll be hurt or offended. (That’s THEIR issue to parse through.) Under this fierce Mars-Pluto energy, playing the role of family rock may feel a little too suffocating. Running away may be tempting, but more useful is staying put and dealing with what comes up in real time. You know what they say: Wherever you go, there you are.

This Thursday, a clash between murky Neptune and people-pleasing Venus could rouse some passive-aggressive vibes. You may get the sense that people are gossiping behind your back or showing you two faces. Keep it elevated, even if other people are sinking to new lows. That’s possible, but the more you feed into that energy, the worse YOU will feel. If you’re getting untrustworthy vibes from someone, pull back and observe. Don’t give them any material to work with. Stand in your power, Aquarius, because the cream always rises to the top. (That’s you, FYI.) And if you sense something shadier is going on, investigate. It won’t take long to get to the bottom of things. The sooner you do, the sooner you can nip a minor issue in the bud—before it snowballs into something major.

You’ll really be in your element starting this Sunday, May 31, as a rare full blue moon in Sagittarius electrifies your eleventh house of teamwork and technology. Not for nothing, as this is the natural home of your eclectic sign. As the consummate team player, you value the friends, colleagues and other kindred spirits you interact with throughout your day. Yet this once-a-year lunar lift in your house of group activity is the perfect occasion to really celebrate the people you value most. Sometime over the next two weeks, find an appropriate way to give shout-outs, kudos or just sincere thanks to everyone who's lent their support over the past half-year. If there's someone in particular who stands out, do something extra-special, like treating them to lunch or a massage. Beyond just keeping the friendship wheels greased, you'll both benefit from this feel-good gesture. This lunar glow can also illuminate places where collaborative activities are feeling a little unsatisfying. Don’t feel guilty if you need some time apart from a certain crew. Your multifaceted sign thrives on novelty, and going to the same old places and doing the same old things with the same people can get old fast. This is your green light to pursue more inspiring squads or organizations, especially those that are doing work that betters deserving populations and ones that are close to your heart.
