The Gemini new moon of last week kicked off another 29.5-day lunar month. The young gondola-shaped crescent loaded up your hopes and dreams in her ship's hold. She has been growing with each day and will reach the crucial first quarter phase in industrious Virgo on Thursday. On that day, the Queen of Manifestation will rise as a right-sided half moon.

The energy of life is breathing in deeply as we move forward towards next week's full moon.

This proactive and stimulating energy will imbue your hopes, dreams and aspirations with life and momentum. The tide is rolling in a positive direction. Seeds are sprouting and growing. Throw yourself into your plans and dreams with all the enthusiasm and passion you can muster. The stars will hear your call. Much can be accomplished in the coming week.

Here is your horoscope for the week of Monday, May 29, 2017.

Aries

Not long ago, you were butting your head against an immovable barrier. The place and the time just weren't right to achieve your vision. You wisely decided to modify your strategy and wait for a change in wind direction. With Mercury fleeting his way out towards the far side of the Sun, an opportunity to move your plans forward will come. By maintaining your determination, the stars will hear your call and deliver all the magic needed to achieve success.

Taurus

Jupiter is occupying friendly skies. The benefits of his help and assistance are weaving magic into your life, although you may not yet be aware of it. Sometimes, fortuitous turns of events lie low and under the surface. This is true with you now. Good things are developing quietly in the background and waiting to make their official arrival. Proof will make an unmistakable appearance. Auspicious developments are gaining momentum right now as you read these words.

Gemini

A pervading sense of gloom surrounding an important process in your life is waning. You've worked your way through what initially appeared to be an insurmountable challenge. The main picture now is good and getting better. The coast is clear. Happiness is clearly within your reach. All your difficulties or at least the most flagrant ones for now will be resolved in the best possible manner.

Cancer

You have plenty of momentum moving you along thanks to an auspicious celestial picture. Believe it or not, things look quite wonderful. What you really need more than anything else is the knowledge that you have the power to create your own future. You'll not only find a way to move a mountain, but you will climb it all the way to the peak and find the Holy Grail of your desires.

Leo

You are not obliged to follow along, doing the same thing day in and day out, just because it's always been done that way. That's what is commonly called a rut. A daring new idea of yours is destined to take you in a more adventurous direction. Your natural propensity to attract luck will aid you in getting it all right. So, get in the groove and adopt a more confident frame of mind. Believe in yourself. So many other people do.

Virgo

Some people do not understand how to get along with others. Perhaps their unsociable behaviour is deliberate or perhaps it simply comes down to a lack of awareness. Surprisingly, it's usually the latter. Use your reliable diplomatic skills to get a certain person to be more in touch with how they are affecting people. Everyone in your circle will benefit as a result. Your efforts will be appreciated.

Libra

As you now weigh up the pros and cons concerning a major decision that must be made, a smidgen of fear is encroaching on your confidence. Should you or should you not initiate a certain plan of action? The best route to success will soon be revealed. Unconscious celestial forces are offering assistance. What is now shrouded in mist will soon be basking in the golden light of warm sunshine. You are in a position of power – the master of your destiny.

Scorpio

Vexing situations have been raising the levels of irritation and frustration. Bad timing, miscommunications and glitches are far too prevalent. But, you are not obliged to be angry about it. Stand back, be objective and observe it all as if you're watching Sherlock Holmes solving a conundrum. Let yourself be entertained. You are in the midst of doing something extraordinarily brave. A triumphant outcome approaches as coming events will amply demonstrate.

Sagittarius

Life has been teaching you a lot concerning your relationship with a certain person. There is no reason to shame yourself. The outcome of these lessons is not very clear yet. Although you feel thwarted and frustrated, you are in reality exerting a lot of power and influence concerning this matter. Your openness to accept and adjust to a changing reality is your guarantee of a happy ending.

Capricorn

A certain quandary you're dealing with won't stand in the way of achieving a crucial objective. Certain deep desires will be sated. Let not your heart be troubled. A source deep down in your being knows the path you must take. The status quo will change for the better as an opportunity to escape an old, tedious lifestyle brings freedom. The stars are leading you into a most auspicious interlude.

Aquarius

Before a problem can be solved, you must first establish if there is indeed a problem. What appears to be trouble could be nothing more than a minor issue that's getting blown out of proportion. Put some daylight between yourself and a certain negative thought pattern. Pause and breathe. An objective perspective will permeate your perception. Clarity will blow into your being like a breeze of fresh air.

Pisces

If you show a willingness to adapt and absorb a difficult lesson, you will never regret it. An open-minded attitude will bring the kind of change you've been yearning for. Don't be bamboozled by negative thoughts into believing that your current difficulties are insuperable. Hermes, the Master of Tactic is whispering a new plan in your ear. He will show you how to defeat your difficulties one by one.
