Forcing the Situation

This is your general astrology horoscope for all signs for the lunar week of the new moon in Taurus, which starts on Friday, May 19, 2023 and ends on Saturday, May 27, 2023 at the first quarter moon in Virgo.

This week, we are feeling more able to fully embody a slow, stable, and secure approach to life in a more masterful and refined way. This is very good.

As a result, we are attempting to do more things to take our new chapter of life to the next level with this better approach.

However, we are finding that very difficult to do.

That is because we are too much in our head about which ideas to pursue next and how to do it in this different approach. It is also because we are a little too worried about what other people might think, and a bit too detached.

As a result, we are feeling stuck, blocked, confused, uncertain of what to do, and mad at ourselves and others that we perceive to be blocking us.

Instead of us backing off at that point and relieving the tension, we instead TRY HARDER to manifest things and move past the blockages.

That, of course, backfires and makes us even more stuck, confused, upset, angry — and now highly emotional, moody, and scattered.

It also causes us to feel hurt about our relationships, money, and sense of self — and spiral downwards into doubts about our situation.

From this emotional mess, we begin to realize that we need to stop overthinking, worrying about other people, and being detached. We also begin to realize that we need to start being more present, trusting our instincts, following our heart, and standing apart from the crowd.

This is a good thing. However, deep down we know that we are not entirely ready yet to do all of those things.

As a result, we decide that we need to slow down instead, stop trying to force things, and just go back to the approach we had before this week came in and confused us.

We also decide that we need to maybe clean up some of the mess we might have created earlier, smooth things over with people we might have gotten upset with, and apologize.

The tarot cards for this week are the 3 of Pentacles, 10 of Swords, and 10 of Wands.
