HOROSCOPES: There are truths, turning points, and telling conversations ahead.

Natasha Weber is an astrology genius and author of Your Celestial Compass, and she's predicted our horoscopes for the week beginning May 18. For more from Natasha, follow her on Instagram and Facebook.

Some conversations echo long after they're said. When Jupiter links to the healing comet, Chiron, you're offered a chance to soften harsh words between you and someone else. Not every bridge needs to be rebuilt. But some are worth it. You'll know which. By the weekend, a karmic connection brings perspective, grounding, or quiet encouragement. Their advice might not be forceful, but it lands with meaning. This week, the right people find you when you're ready.

POWER DAY Thursday.

Uranus aligned with the Sun in your sign yesterday — and you're done. Done shrinking yourself to fit what's never felt right. Done carrying the expectations, the performance, the weight of a life that no longer reflects who you are. You don't owe anyone the old version of you. Later in the week, keep your footing when family dynamics or home responsibilities press in. Don't fold. You're allowed to care for others and still walk your own path.

POWER DAY Sunday.

Your birthday season begins on Wednesday as the Sun returns to your sign. It's the start of a new 12-month cycle that reflects what you're done tolerating and what you want more of. Set it in motion. Book the course. Update the portfolio. Text the person you've been circling. Thursday favours content creation, editing, brand work, or creative planning. And you're not imagining that message, feather, or repeating number; it's a gentle "yes" from your guides.

POWER DAY Wednesday.

Money decisions take priority this week as the Sun exposes what needs your attention. It could be a loan, a repayment, or a conversation about shared costs. But if the offer feels shaky or the terms suddenly change, run a mile. Uranus then shakes your social tree. A friendship might fizzle without warning, or you may be welcomed into a new group that shares your pace and priorities. Notice how you feel after spending time with someone new. That tells you everything.

POWER DAY Thursday.

A change in the office hierarchy or team dynamics could temporarily throw you off your game. Trust in your ability to think on your feet, and you'll soon find your stride, impressing colleagues and higher-ups alike. A glitzy social invite or catch-up with friends sees you let your hair down. This is also a favourable week for personal development, whether you're learning a cutting-edge skill or picking up life hacks from an inspirational podcast.

POWER DAY Tuesday.

Wednesday's solar spotlight on your chart's peak signals a turning point if you've been floundering without a compass. Expect a surge of direction and purpose, whether that's a crystallised vision for your next professional chapter or a renewed sense of purpose in a personal mission. Over the weekend, the puzzle pieces of a past relationship or friendship suddenly snap into place, revealing insights into its unravelling. This realisation helps you find peace and move forward.

Comet Chiron adds a note of gentleness to your relationships. A conversation that once felt loaded now lands with warmth—or at least, less heat. You might feel more generous or recognise how hard someone's been trying. Tension with your in-laws, a teacher, or a mentor may have escalated. But from Wednesday, the Sun supports mutual understanding. It's not about resolving everything but being open to a different rhythm. That alone changes the way you move through it.

POWER DAY Thursday.

You'll push back against a dynamic that's stifling your growth, whether it's a partner who wants control, a manager who micromanages, or a colleague who crosses the line. You might ask for more, take a step back, or walk away altogether as the call for freedom, space and respect grows louder. Later in the week, the Sun brings a financial return. This could be a payment that clears, a sweet bonus, or progress with an investment.

Your personal support system shines this week, whether it's a colleague stepping in to help you meet a deadline, a partner cooking your favourite meal after a tough day, or a family member offering words of encouragement when you need them most. A new professional contact, agent or creative collaborator who appreciates your unique skills could also enter the picture. Then Saturn's shift puts domestic duties on the agenda. Conquer clutter and give your living space a facelift.

POWER DAY Sunday.

If you're single, someone grounded may cross your path. This person is more thoughtful than flashy, but their steady presence feels like an exhale. If you're partnered, this week opens the door to serious moves — co-signing a lease, planning renovations, or talking about the future with more certainty. The vibe is grown-up and practical. The Sun supports a health kick, but timing matters. Begin after Wednesday with one habit that clears mental clutter as well as physical.

POWER DAY Tuesday.

Your mum, sister or a motherly figure does something that catches you off guard — in a good way. It could be a lovely surprise, a message you've been waiting on, or support that arrives without you asking. This gesture underscores the transformative power of nurturing relationships. Meanwhile, Uranus sees you reevaluating your current living situation, entertaining the idea of relocating or undertaking a home renovation project that aligns with your changing lifestyle and personal growth.

POWER DAY Sunday.

This week brings a truth you didn't ask for but needed to hear. It could come from someone close or through a realisation that's been circling for a while. Let the full picture land before you respond. By the time the weekend arrives, Mars empowers you to take charge of your financial situation. Whether it's advocating for a raise, exploring a new income stream, or making a strategic investment, trust your gut and go for it. Your financial future will thank you.

POWER DAY Monday.
