Weekly Sidereal Horoscopes

 
 

What’s this?

These horoscopes are written for the sidereal sun signs using the stars and not the seasons for calculation. It’s very helpful to read the forecast for your sidereal rising sign if you know it.

Check out the Astro Weather page to see when and where Mercury is Retrograde, planets are transiting signs, and what signs are getting eclipsed.

BTW, no AI here, so yes, the voice and vernacular of this column is not one of a certain set of pre-determined AI personalities. And becasue of my age, where I was raised and particular life experience, sometimes I use old fashioned idioms. Look them up if you have to; it’s good for your brain to learn new things.

Week Ahead May 1-8, 2026

Check dates carefully. They are based on 2025-26 Sun sign changes for the sidereal zodiac.
