Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Air signs, this week’s energy encourages you to call on your tribe and ground yourself for the turbulence this week may bring. Although Mercury will enter your fellow-air sign, Gemini May 3, a trying T-square between the Taurus placements and Aquarius placements forces you to reckon with any inner fears or insecurities buried within. Financial pressures may be looming this week, but focus on what you can control. Yes, expenses may be increasing, but concentrate on where your income is increasing too. If you don’t allow yourself to be overwhelmed by your growth, you’ll see that in the end, you have exactly what you need (I mean down to the cent). Relationships feel troublesome at times, but they may not be from your partner. If you feel that your social interactions keep leading to temper tantrums and hurt feelings, it’s probably you. Instead of projecting your internal frustrations this week, sit with them. Acknowledge what’s holding you back once and for all.
