Your Weekly Horoscopes: May 4 to 10, 2025

Are you an influencer or are you letting everyone else influence you? Plans with friends, networking opportunities and community events are giving you life this week, but you’re also feeling self-conscious. Remember that long-term connections are born from authenticity, not from going out of your way to impress someone. Instead of going out for a fancy meal, invite a friend for a walk in the park instead. You can spend time in nature and save money.

This week’s mantra: “Nurture.”

Are you just taking your job seriously or are you obsessed with what your boss thinks of you? There are many opportunities for leadership and career advancement this week, but you might also be acting desperate for approval. You don’t have to put your whole heart and soul on the line. Leave the people wanting more! Then spend some time this weekend on self care: a luxurious bath and skincare routine will bring you back to yourself.

This week’s mantra: “Soothe.”

Chinese Zodiac Elements: How to Know What Yours Is and What It Means

A love connection might happen this week, but the catch is that it’s with a friend who’s visiting from out of town! This fling has you obsessed with subletting your place and moving across the country. If anyone can pull off this feat of wanderlust (and regular lust), it’s you! But running away might not be the solution you think it is. Take some time this weekend to meditate and find your zen before rushing into any big decisions.

This week's mantra: “Leap.”

Fears around debts, shared resources and emotional obligations are in surround sound at the beginning of this week. You look fine on the surface, but in your head? You’re deep in rumination. The key is remembering that you have more control than you think you do in every situation. Compromise is an option—even for that sneaky state tax debt! A conversation with a friend who gets it over the weekend pulls you out of the gutter and back into a better mindset.

This week's mantra: “Heal.”

Relationship healing is the major theme for you this week, Leo. If you’re stuck ruminating about lost love or failed connections, the best medicine might be focusing on travel, education and personal dreams. There’s a lot of room to make magic and reach the right people if you can get out of the compare and despair trap. The weekend provides opportunities for leadership and public speaking. Putting your ideas out into the world is what gets you back in motion.

This week’s mantra: “Presence.”

Work and personal obligations feel overwhelming this week, Virgo. You might be stuck in a bureaucratic purgatory or clocking in overtime hours to finish up a project. Relief comes when you’re humble enough to ask for help. Delegate some tasks to your spouse or your kid. They might not be as efficient as you but who cares as long as it eventually gets done? As the stress fades, a class or trip to the bookstore over the weekend reignites your passion for learning and adventure.

This week’s mantra: “Seek.”

It’s hard to do anything but obsess over your crush this week, Libra. Whether that’s a person or a passion project. Your devotion is a super power, and the commitments you’re making now will open up opportunities for long-term partnership. If you’ve been seeking more support for your artistic work, this weekend provides a valuable opportunity to find patrons and paying clients. But you won’t get paid if you keep giving everything away for free.

This Week's Mantra: "Share."

Family drama peaks early in the week. Per usual, it feels like you’re the one working to keep the peace while everyone else thrives in chaos. There’s a lesson here about what’s worth your time. A home improvement project could also help relieve the tension that you’re feeling. Why not (literally or figuratively) knock down some walls? Over the weekend, you have a lovely conversation with a friend or lover while taking a walk in the park that helps you get your priorities straight.

This week’s mantra: “Settle.”

The week begins with a communication error that leaves you reeling and messes up your whole schedule. An email that hits your inbox too soon. Drama in the group chat. If you’ve been considering cutting ties with someone in your inner circle who is less friend and more frenemy, now might be the time. Though you might still be feeling rageful over the weekend, you can channel that energy into yard work, gardening or sprucing things up around the house.

This week’s mantra: “Divide.”

This week begins in one of two ways for you, Capricorn. You’re either deep in existential stress mode over your finances, or you’re making a major money move—which is stressful in its own right! Whether you’re buying a house, asking for a raise, or starting a lucrative freelance assignment, you’re finally understanding that “with great power comes great responsibility.” Over the weekend, you find relief through romance, creativity and hobbies. Do something purely for pleasure, not for productivity. 

This week’s mantra: “Power.”

The week begins with a bit of an identity crisis for you, Aquarius. Your usual clothes, hair and makeup just don’t match the powerful person you’re becoming. This is a great time to experiment with a bold lip or finally sign up for that Nuuly subscription. The point isn’t to trade in one look for another but to accept that you’re always evolving. As you plot your next era, spending time at home over the weekend is nourishing.

This week’s mantra: “Plant.”

You thought you were certain about your next steps but doubt starts to creep in early this week. Part of you wants to quit and another part of you wants to micromanage, but both of these reactions are based in fear. Relief comes over the weekend when you start simple by committing to a new routine. Try a new local coffee shop! Call a friend! Take a long walk without your headphones and enjoy the beauty of what’s already around you.

This week’s mantra: “Local.”
