What is your May Week horoscope?
Come what May, Edie Castell has your horoscope sorted

You’ve survived another year of Cambridge – well done! Now it’s time to ditch the books for some good old-fashioned pop psychology. Here’s how the summer will pan out for you:
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
June is Gemini season so naturally this second half of term has been treating you well. That exam you had to wing on minimal revision and 2 hours sleep was actually completely fine, and you’ve been riding on a high ever since. But stay vigilant, Gemini: opportunities are everywhere but only if you know where to look. Maybe check that personal email account you’ve abandoned all term…
Lucky Number = 14
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
You’ve been having a hard time of it, Cancer: it feels like every little thing is getting you down. Mainsburys out of the good bagels? World-ending. Hay fever preventing you from getting out and enjoying the sun? We commiserate, truly. But put down your phone and step away from your college confessions page: it’s summer, there is no need to submit another post begging the freshers to keep it down in the library. May Week is upon us and it’s time to let your hair down. Our advice for you? Replace the scowl with some noise-cancelling headphones and dance it all out at a silent disco.
Lucky Number = 27
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Mercury is entering your sign on June 26th, and that means only one thing: that characteristic Leo self-confidence is at an all-time high. This is the time to speak your mind: for a few short days, hangxiety will fear you. Make the most of it at the May events – if there was ever a time to finally befriend the intimidating trio you always spot at the back of your lectures, it would be now.
Lucky Number = 9
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
With Mars slipping into Virgo on June 17th, you are about to be hit with a wave of productivity. Exams out of the way, how are you to channel all this restless energy? It’s time for a foray into the riveting world of errands. Stick on a podcast and get your packing out the way before you are subsumed into May Week, and lose the desire to do anything before 5pm…
Lucky Number = 33
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
You have been floating aimlessly across King’s Parade in a caffeinated haze and, frankly, it’s time to get a grip. You need to change things up, be that picking up a new hobby or finally bursting the Cambridge bubble and reconnecting with everything that lies beyond it. The stars told us you’d look really good with that Clairo-style fringe you’ve been deliberating all term. Just saying…
Lucky Number = 7
Scorpio (October 23 - November 22)
You’ve been at a crossroads, Scorpio. To go corporate or not to go corporate, that is the question. With the student loan dwindling, the monied lives of everyone who scored a summer internship is looking very appealing, but so does the life of that friend-of-a-friend being paid for her TikTok lookbooks. Unfortunately, the stars can’t advise you further than this: it’s time to draft up another pros/cons list.
Lucky Number = 15
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
The weather's getting warmer, the sun’s out, and you are … not? Now is not the time for rotting in bed, Sagittarius. Taking the time to decompress after a stressful term is important, but you also have to be honest with yourself. Is a fourth day staying in your room watching Barbie movies on Youtube really making you feel any better? Spend some time with your friends before you all go your separate ways for the summer.
Lucky Number = 44
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Love is in the air on June 24th, Capricorn! Whether that means reconnecting with an old flame at the food stands at a ball, or spending one last night in with your staircase before leaving Cambridge, your relationships will be thriving. Cherish that!
Lucky Number = 4
Aquarius (January 20 - February 19)
Aquarius, you need to say “yes” more. The summer vac is approaching and this is your gentle nudge to take the opportunities that arise for you, whether that’s as small as picking up a cat-sitting gig for a neighbour, or as big as leaving the country.
Lucky Number = 87
Pisces (February 20 - March 20)
Uh, oh Pisces, it seems like your capacity for delusion is high on the 23rd, so tread carefully and don’t rush into things. Remember: just because your course mates look 10x more attractive after you’ve made the most of the unlimited drinks at a May Ball, doesn’t mean you actually want to go there. In fact, you probably don’t.
Lucky Number = 1
Aries (March 21 - April 20)
Your future is looking particularly lucrative – these next few weeks will see you flourish in the finance department. I hope you’re ready to track down available InPost boxes all summer, because your Vinted sales will be mysteriously shooting up.
Lucky Number = 100
Taurus (April 21 - May 20)
Venus will be in your sign from June 6th to July 4th, which means it’s the perfect time to go all out. When planning your May event outfits, the key word for you, Taurus, is extravagance. This is the moment for the flashiest accessories you own. You know you’ve done it right if you’re resembling a disco ball come sun down.
Lucky Number = 9
