IFLA: The “All Good Things” Edition of the Horoscope for the Week of May 17

by | May 17, 2026 | IFLA | 36 comments

The good times are rolling. The week starts off well but as the moon sweeps though alignments with Venus and Jupiter on Thursday we run out of good things happening. But that’s still been an excellent run sky-wise. And it’s not like things get bad, after that, just… vacant for a while.

Taurus: King of Cups – Fair man, man of business, law, or divinity; responsible, equity, art and science, including those who profess science, law and art; creative intelligence.

Gemini: 8 of Wands reversed – Trouble developing faster than expected, jealousy, internal dispute, stingings of conscience, quarrels

Cancer: King of Wands reversed – Good, but severe; austere, yet tolerant.

Leo: The Devil reversed – Evil, fatality, weakness, pettiness, blindness.

Virgo: 9 of Wands –  Strength in opposition, delay, suspension, adjournment, gatekeeping.

Libra: The Hanged Man – Wisdom, circumspection, discernment, trials, sacrifice, intuition, divination, prophecy. 

Scorpio: 6 of Wands – Great news, hope, celebration.

Sagittarius: Queen of Cups reversed – Distinguished woman but one not to be trusted; perverse woman; vice, dishonor, depravity.

Capricorn: The Lovers – Attraction, love, beauty, trials overcome. 

Aquarius: Knight of Coins reversed – Inertia, idleness, stagnation, placidity, discouragement, carelessness.

Pisces: 8 of Swords – Bad news, violent chagrin, crisis, censure, power in trammels, conflict, calumny, sickness.

    The real reason sriracha disappeared is because it was a trendyfood and people moved on to the next fad.

    • Rat on a train

      ube is replacing matcha

      sriracha disappeared

      It did?

      I see plenty of it on the shelves, assuming he is talking about the popular brand in the US.. I usually have a bottle on hand, including right now. I never noticed any temporary halt in production or increase in the price. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      • UnCivilServant

        It’s no longer in EVERYTHING.

      • rhywun

        It’s in a bottle of ketchup I just bought. 🤨

      • Tres Cool

        Now the new thing is “hot honey” on everything.

    • Threedoor

      It’s because spicy things are gross and people are finally coming to their senses about peppers.

      • Nephilium

        So much wrong in so few words.

      • Threedoor

        The secondary compounds are poison.

        It’s the plants trying to kill
        You.

    • Drake

      Trader Joe’s has like 5 different varieties of spicy ketchup.

    “ Cancer: King of Wands reversed – Good, but severe; austere, yet tolerant.”

    Sounds on brand for me.

    🍆💦

    • PutridMeat

      Someone’s getting a spanking?

      • Sean

        Ayup.

    Sagittarius: Queen of Cups reversed – Distinguished woman but one not to be trusted; perverse woman; vice, dishonor, depravity.

    Oh, no. Not that sex slavery business again.

  4. The Late P Brooks

    Weird. I tried to turn on my el cheapo TCL teevee to play Pandora, and… no picture. Black screen. Not good.

    But, just for fun, I turned off the power strip and turned it back on. Whaddayaknow, it worked. For now, anyway.

    • Tres Cool

      So it went black, but DID come back.

      I hear that almost never happens.

    • Threedoor

      I would expect a blue screen

  5. The Late P Brooks

    I should probably find an alternative to having the teevee on all day just to listen to music.

  6. DEG

    Evil, fatality, weakness, pettiness, blindness.

    Sufficiently shitty.

  7. dbleagle

    Woo Hoo! Aries gets a pass this week.

  8. EvilSheldon

    Doesn’t really match up with my horoscope this week, but I just found out I’m getting a small unexpected inheritance. So…yay? Certainly welcome, but I’d kinda rather have the gentleman in question still around.

  9. Muzzled Woodchipper

    My horoscope should have just read “Gas station toilet”, because I’ve apparently done my best Jackson Pollack technique, only in the bowl. There are truck stops in Africa with a better looking toilet than mine right now.

  10. Threedoor

    I’ll drop another good cover here today.

    BYW I love the cars.
    I was jamming to them last year when working on the playground and my neighbor lady yelled at me “you’re too young for that music!”

    I made the cutoff on the first album by a few months.

    • Threedoor

      Now looking for a five string.
