HOROSCOPES: It's time to reflect, reevaluate, and find resolution.

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.

Saturn returns to your sign for the first time in nearly 30 years, beginning a three-year cycle of self-mastery. This is about growing up and showing up for yourself and the life you're building. You might restructure your work, commit to (or leave) a relationship, or realise you're done outsourcing your authority. The seeds you plant now will shape your future. The good news? Saturn promises to reward your efforts with lasting results that stand the test of time.

Saturn's influence has you questioning the depth and substance of your life. Not content with going through the motions, you're yearning for a sense of purpose beyond the daily grind. Ask yourself: What sets your soul on fire? As the week progresses, Mercury supports a dialogue where you confidently assert your non-negotiables, whether it's in a heart-to-heart with your partner or a frank discussion with your boss. Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself, Taurus.

Tuesday's New Moon in your sign is your green light to start anew. This is your annual invitation to plant the seeds for the future you envision, whether that means enroling in a course to upskill, setting intentions for a fulfilling relationship, or finally pursuing that dream you've been harbouring. Quiet any self-doubt and trust that success begins with a single step. If you're feeling stuck, Mercury strikes with a lightning bolt of inspiration by Friday, crystallising your plan.

Something's drawing to a close, and while change can be bittersweet, it's also the harbinger of an exciting new chapter. As you navigate this transition, allow yourself to feel the full spectrum of emotions, from gratitude for what's been to anticipation for what's to come. Welcome the unknown and trust that this ending is a necessary part of your growth. If you've been feeling lost or unfulfilled in your career or life direction, Saturn's tough love provides the cosmic kick in the pants needed to break free. Take the leap; your soul's true calling awaits.

You're learning something on the fly this week, whether it's navigating a new relationship, picking up a skill, or adapting to a change in your routine. While the learning curve might sometimes feel steep, trust that the knowledge and experience you gain will give you a valuable edge moving forward. The New Moon's gift to you? A kindred spirit who enters your orbit and instantly gets you; no need for small talk or pretence.

Saturn sees you retreat into your shell, especially if you feel vulnerable in a relationship. Shutting down may provide a temporary sense of safety, but it can also block genuine connection. So while it's wise to safeguard your heart, don't allow your defences become so impenetrable that you close yourself off to emotional intimacy. This week, wisdom comes from the mouths of babes when a child's innocent observation or quirky question helps you see a lingering problem in a whole new light.

Saturn urges you to evaluate which relationships are worth nurturing and which have run their course. You might need to have a difficult conversation or make a tough choice, but trust that this process is ultimately for your highest good. Surround yourself with people who appreciate and support the real you. As Saturday approaches, the Mercury/Sun cazimi brings a burst of positivity in the form of a vivacious visitor, possibly from a different country or cultural background.

Mercury offers a wealth of wellness wisdom, whether through a podcast that reveals supportive self-care strategies, an article that debunks health myths, or a consultation with a holistic practitioner. Take what works for you and your body and leave what doesn't. Midweek, the stars align for a pivotal decision or money move. Whether you're negotiating a business deal, making a long-term investment, or taking a leap of faith in your career, you're focused on long-term security over short-term gains.

A kaleidoscope of inspiration brings your artistic visions to life, whether that means putting pen to paper, brush to canvas, or fingers to strings. Let your imagination run wild and see where it takes you. Romance is in full bloom for couples, with a renewed sense of understanding and gratitude permeating your relationship. Single? The New Moon's advice is to play your cards close to your chest. A little mystery goes a long way, especially on the first date.

Saturn unbinds you from a money mindset that's holding you back from reaching your full financial potential. Say goodbye to the narrative of lack and limitation. Where you direct your attention, energy is sure to follow, so keep your sights set on the wealth and opportunities you want to manifest. In your relationships, you're becoming clearer about your non-negotiables. If you find yourself constantly compromising your values for someone else, it's time to reevaluate the dynamics at play.
