Weekly horoscope: 2 astrologers' predictions for May 1 - May 7, 2023

"Be sure to trust your intuition and be crystal clear about exactly what it is you need. By expressing yourself honestly, new doors and opportunities will open wide for you."

"It’s a question of values. How much are you prepared to invest in an endeavor or what is the cost of a relationship? Finances may play a part, feelings definitely."

"With mercury retrograde in your sign this week make sure you avoid confrontation. Wait until next week before you make any important decisions, especially if they are related to work."

"This is a time of discovery. Some information could be revealed that will make you think rather differently about the future of a certain enterprise. Or, perhaps, your future, period."

"Venus is in the last few degrees of your sign right now. So, tie up any loose ends, and let the past go. Instead, look forward with a fresh perspective."

"Life’s a little like a labyrinth. You know where you’re headed, but you keep being sent in circles. Take a pause, and gain some distance and perspective. All will be well."

"Make the most of any new work opportunities this week. Your hard work and patience is about to pay off. So, be open to a positive change for the better."

"This may be a challenging week, but with Venus heading into your sign on Sunday, happy endings are in store. Step out of the line of fire, especially on Friday."

"This is a good time for you to relax, lie low, and recharge your batteries. Prepare to be asked to lead a new project when you have recouped your energy."

"If you make it to mid-May without a single change to plans, you’ll be an exception to the Leo rule. Expect the unexpected and accept a new status quo gracefully."

"Have you been thinking about applying for a promotion or new job of late? Although you don't always like change, it could well be just what you need right now."

"Unfortunately, there are no easy answers right now. What happens this week may defy explanation, but only for the moment. Eventually, you will discover what led up to it all."

"Travel may be on your mind. Is there a place you have always wanted to visit? Make a plan to book that trip. It will shift your perspective and energy."

"The reason why people change their minds cannot always be understood at the time. Rest assured, whatever comes as a surprise has been in the works for quite some while."

"With the Full Moon in your sign on May 5, now's a good time to let go of the old. Declutter and make space for the new, exciting opportunities awaiting you."

"A lunar eclipse in your sign brings down the curtain on a long saga. The deal is done and a new chapter is forthcoming. It’s going to be an emotional rollercoaster."

"Someone from your past may get in touch this week. Decide whether you want them to be part of your future, or perhaps it is time to let go completely."

"Whatever you do, don’t lose track of the details. The success of an endeavour may well rest on its minor aspects. Small issues morph into mighty ones in this climate."

"You may be feeling extra energized right now. Enjoy this boost by spending time outside in the countryside or maybe even restart a hobby you used to love to do."

"The path to true love is never straight, as you may discover. Before you drape the crepe, Venus is about to enter the love zone and set wrongs to rights."

"Friends are important more than ever. You have a great support network around you. Don't be afraid to reach out and let them know when you need help from them."

"This is a big week by any astrological standards. It means that even the most minor events can have major long-term consequences. Do make the most of any surprise encounter."

"If you can dream it, you can do it! This full moon in Scorpio’s great for you. Let your imagination wander, try something that takes you in a different direction."

"Put your trust in the facts. Not everything is the way it seems. Travel, especially on Friday, could be rather trying and an alternative route will come in very handy."
