3 Zodiacs To Steer Clear Of This Weekend (5/17-5/19)

Aries

With Mars causing Aries to jump the gun and Jupiter inflating their already oversized ambitions, the rams of your life are in rare form this weekend. They’re not just charging—they’re steamrolling with an unsettling blend of enthusiasm and recklessness. Aries might be on a path to success, but their haughty approach and tendency to underestimate the energy needed for their goals make them dangerous companions for the unwary. Add their typical impulsive streak, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. Best advice? Avoid getting trampled by giving Aries plenty of space to crash and burn on their own time, because why waste your only two days of peace on a temporary situation. That goes for you too, Aries.

Taurus

Taurus is typically all about keeping the peace, but with Venus aligning with Uranus in their sign, expect the unexpected—and not necessarily in a good way. This conjunction brings a yearning for freedom and spontaneity that can lead Taurus to make uncharacteristically rash decisions, especially in love and finances. While they might be chasing excitement, you could be left dealing with the fallout from their whims and impulsive risks. The Sun aligning with Jupiter further amplifies their confidence, possibly to the point of overestimation and arrogance. It’s wise to let Taurus explore their newfound desires—far away from you (and your partner.)

Gemini

Geminis are usually the life of the party, but this weekend, they’re the lords of miscommunication, thanks to a troublesome Mercury in the mix. While their minds are twisted in knots, they’ll likely drag you into their drama of overthinking and paranoia. The Mercury-Saturn semi-square occuring Friday the 17th only doubles down on potential misunderstandings and verbal missteps. If you’re looking for a smooth and straightforward interaction, you won’t find it with a Gemini during this period. Keep it simple: steer clear, and whatever you do…don’t let the notification bubble draw you in.
