Love Horoscope for the Week of May 1 to 7: What the Stars Hold for Your Love Life Get ready for an exciting week, lovebirds! The love horoscope for the week of May 1 to 7 predicts that our love lives will be in a heightened state of activity, thanks to the cosmic forces at play. But beware, these cosmic forces may also rock your relationships, so it’s essential to brace yourself and know what to expect.
The week kicks off with the testy square between Venus and Neptune on Thursday. This may have us feeling drunk on love, but not necessarily in a fun way. This energy may make us feel all the feels while not thinking clearly about it. Remember, facts are not feelings! Just because we are deeply in love doesn’t mean that a certain connection is right for us. Sometimes the heart cannot be deterred.
Then comes the unpredictable and potent Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio on May 5 at 1:34 p.m. ET, which may cause a crisis moment. This eclipse will be opposite Uranus, planet of sudden change and great awakenings. Just when we think we can count on something, things might take a dark and unexpected turn. If we’re in a situation where we’re being lied to or betrayed, Luna is drawing it all out.
Fortunately, romance gets a lot sweeter once Venus enters tender Cancer on Sunday. It’s time to figure out how to achieve the emotional security we need, because this transit will bring out a different form of love in all of us.
Here’s what your love horoscope for the week of May 1 to 7 is bringing to your attention, according to your sun sign, Venus sign and/or rising sign:
Aries
Lies, lies and more lies. That seems to be a running theme in your love forecast this week. Your partner might not be the one lying either—it’s quite possible that you’re the one holding out with a clever “lie of omission” so that you don’t rock the boat or hurt your sweetheart. If so, be prepared for the consequences of potentially getting found out. Another possibility is that you are lying to yourself about the direction of a love relationship or that you’ve convinced yourself there’s potential with someone when there really is nothing at all. It’s time to snap out of it!
Taurus
Everything changes in your love life this week. Just when you thought you had it all figured out, the universe is about to create a bit of chaos, thanks to the Lunar Eclipse happening in your partnership sector on Friday. This eclipse is likely to be a major catalyst for either a great beginning or a great ending in your love life. Whatever happens to create such a dramatic event is likely to be completely unexpected, due to Uranus in your sign being so plugged into this eclipse. Just keep in mind that this is fated. In the end, whatever is meant to be will be.
Gemini
Misrepresenting yourself in any way in an effort to impress a love interest is dangerously likely to backfire. Venus in your sign will make a nebulous square to Neptune on Thursday, creating some murky energy in terms of how you come across to others. Even if you’re not lying or doing anything wrong, it’s possible that you’ll cast such a glamorous and charismatic glare in the world that someone will only see what he or she wants to see in you. That may only result in a huge letdown, but that isn’t your fault. After all, you want to be loved for you—not someone else’s ideal.
Cancer
This week, matters of the heart could take a sudden turn for those in a relationship. You and your partner may have a change of heart regarding having a child together. Single? Get ready for a significant turning point in your love life as the Lunar Eclipse in your romance sector approaches. You may realize just how deep your feelings are or that it’s time to walk away from something that just isn’t right. Fortunately, Venus enters your sign on Sunday, and you’ll learn to love yourself no matter what.
Leo
This week, expect sudden chaos in your domestic or professional life that may affect your love life. With the Lunar Eclipse in your home sector, a sudden turn of events could occur in your career or family life, and your partner may offer you the necessary support. If your partner is the problem, things will probably be quite different. Single? You might pine for someone you can’t be with. Stay grounded.
Virgo
Stability in love connection might gel beautifully for you this week. The Sun in your 9th House will make a supportive sextile to Saturn in your partnership sector, and your partner’s grounding presence will help you reach for the stars in other areas of your life. Being fully seen and supported by your partner should be wonderfully validating. Single? You might have a growing feeling that a substantial relationship is coming soon.
Libra
This is not a week for making grand romantic promises, and you shouldn’t promise more than you can deliver to your partner. Venus makes a tense square to confusing Neptune, now in your work sector, and although you want to help your mate with chores or other obligations, it may not be feasible. Single Librans might have a little more luck as it’s possible that someone you respect professionally will match you with someone they believe is a good fit.
Scorpio
You may feel like a tornado hit your love life after this week. Be gentle with yourself, and focus on your well-being. The Lunar Eclipse in your sign may bring a necessary turning point, and it’s possible that a partner’s sudden behavior will trigger you emotionally. Breathe deeply and take your time before you make any sudden moves. If single, someone who wants to date you could be duplicitous.
Sagittarius
Little problems could cause significant issues in your love life this week. You might be upset if your partner tries to sweep matters under the rug. You deserve a partner who faces harsh realities with you. Venus in your partnership sector squares confusing Neptune, which might reveal that a love interest has been hiding important details about a domestic problem. If single, you might not want to accept a relative’s offer to set you up with someone as they might not be the right fit.
Capricorn
Get ready for an instant jolt of excitement that will leave your heart feeling completely exhilarated. Mars is currently marching through your partnership sector and will make a positive link to Uranus, currently in your romance sector. Anything goes! You and your partner could take a new and original approach to liven up your connection, and you’ll be pleased to know that the spark is still very much alive! If single, you could easily make a sudden love connection.
Aquarius
If you’re an Aquarius, brace yourself for a tricky romance situation this week. Venus, the planet of love, will be in your true love sector but will form a tense angle with Neptune on Thursday, causing confusion and uncertainty. You might discover that someone is interested in you for what you can give them, rather than who you are as a person. This realization might disappoint you, but it’s also an opportunity to act on your newfound knowledge. Remember that you deserve someone who loves you for who you are, not for what you can offer. If you’re single, you might want to keep an eye out for someone flirting with you at work after Sunday. Who knows? This might turn into something special.
Pisces
As a Pisces, you might be feeling uncertain about your love life this week, particularly when it comes to your family. Venus, the planet of love, will form an uneasy link with Neptune, the planet of confusion, in your sign on Thursday. This might cause confusion regarding your current love life scenario, and one of your relatives might be inserting an opinion that isn’t helpful. Remember that you don’t need to second-guess your own judgment. If you’re single, the good news is that after Sunday, Venus enters your true love sector, encouraging you to open your heart and let love in. This could be the perfect time to start a new relationship or take a current one to the next level.
