Your Weekly Love Horoscope For May 11 - 17: The Good Outweighs The Bad This Week
Design: YourTango | Photo: Nicole Schlaeppi from baseimage, CanvaWeekly love horoscopes for May 11 - 17, 2026 are here for each zodiac sign. This isn’t a bad week for love, but there are a few days that could be pitfalls to watch for. We begin the week on a good note as Mercury, the planet of communication, aligns with lucky Jupiter, which is a good energy for conversation and generally good times. Tuesday is great for getting together with someone special, but the first day to act wth caution arrives on May 14 when the Sun conjuncts Mercury. Don’t let your ego lead the way or get too engrossed in your own opinions to the exclusion of others’ ideas. Sparks usually fly under this energy. It’s up to you to make sure they are the good kind.
When the Taurus New Moon rises on May 16, we concern ourselves with matters of the heart. This moon makes no negative aspects, so this should be pleasant for most, especially since Taurus is typically a grounding and solid influence. Energy changes again on May 17 when Mercury enters Gemini, a great sign for networking or asking someone out. Mercury conjuncts Uranus from May 17 to 18, which represents an exciting day for some or a day we receive unexpected news. Nothing can be trusted to remain solid today, so plan accordingly.
