Your HelloGiggles weekly horoscope, May 10th to May 16th: Your finances and friendships are going to be tested
Major cosmic changes are coming your way this week, so it’s important for you to keep yourself grounded and calm through these sweeping celestial developments. Mercury, which is in Taurus, will bring major insights your way when it connects with Jupiter, which is in Capricorn, on May 10th. Later that day, the sun, which is in Taurus, gets a sentimental vibe when Neptune, which is in Pisces, inspires you to reach for your dreams.
Saturn, which is currently in Aquarius, starts its retrograde journey on May 11th. This transit will last until September 29th. During this time, you will reassess your commitments and professional aspirations. Before the mercurial switch happens later in the day on the 11th, Mercury and Saturn square off, which may make you feel unseen and uninspired. But fear not! A few hours later, on the same day, Mercury enters Gemini, adding decisive actions and intellectualism to your thoughts.
Next, Mars, which is in Aquarius, connects with the Nodes of Destiny. You will be able to make your goals a reality. This vibe is further echoed by Mercury’s alignment with Saturn on the 12th, which will push you to reach for the stars (with caution, of course). Then Mars enters Pisces on May 13th, giving you the chance to merge your emotions and desires together.
Also, on May 13th, Venus starts its retrograde journey in Gemini and will continue to moonwalk until June 25th. Money and love will get confusing as you’re second-guessing your deepest desires. Then on May 14th, Jupiter retrograde begins and lasts until September 12th in Capricorn. This will make you reassess your relationship with money and abundance, allowing you to see that less is more when it comes to essential needs.
Finally, the sun and Pluto, which is retrograde in Capricorn, will motivate you to move towards your passions—no matter the cost. You’ll end the week with Mercury linking up with the asteroid Chiron, which in Aries. This will lend a healing energy to the collective as well as your heart.

Aries
Your crew may be small, but that’s okay with you. Pruning your social life will mean cutting back on pals who have proven they’re less worthy of your time and friendship. As in all aspects of life, think of your relationships in terms of quality, not quantity.
Taurus
In the past, you’ve given your all to colleagues, friends, and lovers. Now, you’re realizing that these partnerships aren’t reciprocating your sentiments. Ask yourself: “What do I really want from my relationships?” and “How can they serve to benefit me?’ It’s time to put yourself first for your happiness.
Gemini
Stop trying to keep up with the Joneses. You have so much more to offer the world than just material abundance—you have the gift of intellect and wit. It’s time you look deep within and start letting others see that you have true potential to excel in life.
Cancer
You’re a real go-getter by nature. But this week is forcing you to take a step back from pursuing your goals. Think about what you really want before going after your desires. You may find that your incentives are changing. Take a moment to reflect before powering ahead on projects.
Leo
The members of your inner posse are shifting this week. You’re sorting through who are your true-blue pals and who are just your acquaintances. You’ll see who’s proven to be your ride or die through their actions towards you. Be sure they’re not taking your kindness for granted.
Virgo
Opportunities that were long forgotten may boomerang back to you. That’s why it’s important to rewrite your résumé and spruce up your LinkedIn account during your free time to be ready for such occasions. After all, anything is possible this week. Don’t stop believing and your dreams will come true!
Libra
It’s time to start vision-boarding your desires in order to ensure that they come to fruition. Don’t hold back on what you decide is imperative to your future. Set a clear intention to get the results you want. You can create the life you want if you manifest your dreams.
Scorpio
Ask and you shall receive—but you better know what you’re asking for. Coming to terms with and understanding your passions have been a little foggy as of late. However, you’ll be able to achieve your goals if you meditate on your desires. Then you can get what you truly want.
Sagittarius
All that glitters isn’t gold, especially when it comes to love. After taking a backseat in matters of the heart, you’re finally asserting and defining what you really want in relationships. This may ruffle some feathers, but it’s one step closer towards creating partnerships that you can vibe with.
Capricorn
You’re such a hard worker. All the more reason for you to take a break and focus on your needs (for the first time in a long time). Implement some extra self-care into your daily routine this week. Try out long bubble baths and restorative yoga to decompress.
Aquarius
You’re totally getting zombied by an ex or an old friend this week, which may create a ton of confusing sentiments. Before allowing yourself to get 100% deep in reviving the relationship, respond with caution. Try dipping your toes in the water to gauge the temperature of the situation.
Pisces
It’s time for you to have your spring awakening. Your core values are shifting and becoming a little more progressive than before. You’re seeing situations and people through a new lens, which is opening your heart and mind to new philosophies. Swim towards personal evolution and change this week, Pisces.
