Your lookahead horoscope: May 24, 2026

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

A sun-Neptune link on your birthday means you will be sensitive to changes in the atmosphere around you. For that reason alone you must shield yourself from some of the things going on in the world. Only let positive people get close to you.

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

You will be full of energy over the next few days and that’s great, but don’t get carried away and start taking the kind of risks that have no more than a 50-50 chance of coming good. Be adventurous, but don’t lose touch with reality.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

There are so many enjoyable things going on in your world at the moment that it may come as a shock when the fun train hits the buffers. On the work front especially this week you will need to show you’ve got a serious side too.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

The sun in your sign links with power planet Pluto this week, so whatever it is you are working on you must push ahead with the kind of self-belief that makes all things possible. Ignore any and all distractions and make your dream come true.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

Although you look calm and collected on the outside you may well be raging about something on the inside, and the message of the stars for the next seven days is that you need to let your anger go. It hurts no one but yourself.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Minor setbacks are likely over the next few days but the good news is you are still on track to reach your number one goal. Just how close you are to success will become clear when the sun and Pluto join forces in your favour on Tuesday.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

You are not about to compromise on a point of principle and anyone who tries to force you will wish they had left well alone. If you clash with someone in a position of authority they will back off when they see you’re not scared of them.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

Anyone who thinks you lack the killer instinct is going to learn how wrong they are over the next few days. Pluto in the most dynamic area of your chart will inspire you to take the battle to your rivals and shock them into surrender.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

Financial matters will go well for you over the coming week but for best results you must understand that it’s sometimes smart to let others win a little so that in the long-term you win a lot. Better still, look for solutions where everyone wins.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

Don’t make a big deal of something that in a few days time everyone will have forgotten about. Even if a friend or colleague lets you down you will know they didn’t do it on purpose, so show them you don’t hold a grudge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

If someone you work with criticizes your every move this week you will have no option but to slap them down. If you don’t speak up for yourself they may take it as a sign they can do as they please. Don’t let that happen.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

Pluto in your sign links with the sun and Mars over the next few days, encouraging you to set the pace both at home and at work. Try not to be too pushy though as some people might feel they are being put under unjustified pressure.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

You may be inclined to ignore the rumors you hear this week but the planets warn that may not be such a good idea. Even if others are exaggerating what’s going on there will still be a kernel of truth in there somewhere. Find out what it is.
