3 things to keep in mind this week:
1. Momentum is back — use it.
There’s a noticeable shift from the heaviness of the past few weeks. Energy is available again, but it’s on you to move with it.
2. Get to the root, not just the surface.
This week asks for honesty, precision, and a willingness to dig deeper — even when it’s uncomfortable or inconvenient.
3. Let connection be both honest and nourishing.
There’s a push-pull between truth and tenderness. You don’t have to choose one over the other.
Monday, May 4th:
Mars square Jupiter
This is an excellent day for pushing things out and through. After the last few weeks (and honestly, months) of heavier, more stagnant energy, we get a bit of a reprieve.
If there’s something you’ve been working on — or working through — that started to feel sluggish or lost its spark, this is where the fire comes back. There’s a reigniting here. A reminder of why you started in the first place.
You’re also getting some support from the Moon as she trines Mars, which adds an emotional willingness to act. This isn’t just motivation — it’s movement with feeling behind it. Use it.
Tuesday, May 5th:
Mercury square Pluto (as Pluto prepares to go retrograde)
This is investigative energy. Deep, focused, a little obsessive — in a way that can actually serve you if you let it.
Whatever you’ve been building, planning, or mentally working through since around January 22nd is asking for refinement. This could be a project, a conversation, an agreement, or even an internal process — something psychological that you began to unpack.
Now, there’s an itch to get to the bottom of it. To understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.
New information may arise. Something you didn’t see before. And with that comes the need to pivot — not as a setback, but as a recalibration toward a more aligned outcome.
This is about being thorough. Being honest. Not skipping steps just to get something done.
Especially when it comes to communication — what you’re saying, how you’re saying it, and why.
Wednesday, May 6th:
Venus opposite Lilith
There’s tension here in relationships — not necessarily conflict, but a feeling of something being just out of reach.
A desire to express yourself fully, freely, honestly… but getting caught in the details, the fears, the “what ifs.”
There’s something in the shadows — something you’ve been holding back, softening, or not fully naming. And this transit asks: what happens if you bring that into the light?
Not in a reckless way, but in an integrated one.
How do you hold both the truth of what you feel and the reality of the situation in front of you?
How do you stop editing yourself just enough to keep the peace — but still stay connected?
This is about finding that middle ground. Not abandoning yourself for harmony, but not burning everything down either.
Sunday, May 10th:
Sun sextile Jupiter
This is the exhale.
Connection feels easier. Softer. More genuine. There’s warmth here — the kind that doesn’t ask you to perform or prove anything.
It’s giving slow mornings, shared meals, laughter, being wrapped up in comfort — whether that’s with family, chosen family, or people who feel like home.
Let yourself lean into that.
And if you’re someone who is always holding others, always showing up, always giving — let yourself receive.
Being cared for is not a weakness. It’s part of the exchange.
Let it be mutual.
