Your Weekly Horoscopes: May 5 to 11, 2024
Time to get in the bath and relax for a minute. The struggle was real during April’s eclipse season, and many of us are feeling that pain in our (actual) joints and bones. The new moon in Taurus on the 7th is a lavender-infused epsom salt soak to relieve all that inflammation. It’s also a cup of ceremonial-grade matcha, a bouquet of fresh farmer’s market peonies, and an afternoon in the park without a phone or laptop in sight. The sun connects with Saturn on the 7th as a reminder that what’s happening now is for both a good time and a long time. This new moon puts down generous roots for a solid future.
