Weekly Reading for May 3 - 10, 2026: Pluto retrograde starts
Note sull'episodio
After months of astrology that has asked us to summon endurance we didn’t think we had, this week is pretty chill. Last week's Full Moon in Scorpio dragged us by the hair to the edge and made us look at every dead thing in our lives. We did that. We're tired. May has the audacity to just be...mostly fine. May and June are sneakily the most forgiving stretch of the year, which doesn’t mean it’s entirely uncomplicated (when is life ever like that) but it does mean we are less likely to feel like we’re actively on fire every minute of every day. Love that for us.
Here’s what we are dealing with this week: the first half of the week feels like espresso. Motivated, pushy, weirdly certain of ourselves, a little obnoxious if we're honest. The second half drops us into something murkier that’s more about looking under our own floorboards than rearranging anyone else's furniture.
Key moments of the week:
