Weekly Reading for May 10 - 17, 2026: Mercury Cazimi and New Moon in Taurus
Episode notes
This is one of the nicest weeks of the year, genuinely, and after the absolute meat grinder of Aries season — all that knives-out, white-knuckled, fighting-for-your-life chaos that had us crawling across the finish line — the sky is finally handing out a soft landing with actual room to feel it this time. The first half of the week has this quietly hopeful, things-are-possible quality to it where the narrative in your head stops sounding like a true crime podcast about your own life and starts sounding more like someone who actually likes you is doing the voiceover. Mid-week brings a moment of mental clarity where a thought you've been chewing on finally arrives in the right order, and then Saturday delivers a really lovely New Moon in Taurus that's about claiming pleasure and connection and feeling good in your body while carrying around old pain that is never fully going to leave you, because the deal isn't that you fix the wound first and then earn the right to enjoy your life — the deal is that the good stuff has to make room for the wound and the wound has to make room for the good stuff, and this week is genuinely interested in helping us live inside that arrangement instead of forever postponing it. By the time Sunday rolls around, a kind of plot-twist conversation cracks something open and starts pointing us toward what's next, which is a whole new chapter we'll be settling into for years.
