• ♀︎ ▻ Taurus | 7:31 am eastern
• ☽ at 16° 31‘ Capricorn ✳ ♄ at 16° 31‘ Pisces | 11:28 am eastern

Thursday expect some tension as you navigate unexpected changes or disruptions, especially in your plans or routines. 

As the day progresses there’s a transition into a more fluid rhythm and likely feel more social or romantic. 

However, at 1:46 pm eastern, Pluto stations retrograde. This energy will be impacting everyone for a few days before and after this. It’s time to review the shifts and the changes in power dynamics as it relates to your Aquarius house topics. In general, be aware of personal and external power dynamics during this time.

Friday 05/03

• ♂︎ at 02° 06‘ Aries ✳ ♇ at 02° 06‘ Aquarius | 5:05 am eastern
• ☽ at 13° 46‘ Pisces ✳ ☉ at 13° 46‘ Taurus | 1:54 pm eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♄ at 16° 53‘ Pisces | 7:04 pm eastern

Friday you may find yourself driven to address challenges with a bold, assertive approach accompanied by thoughtful planning. As evening settles in, the reflective mood deepens, ideal for setting structured goals or solidifying long-term plans.

However, you might also feel a heavier emotional weight as the day progresses, particularly in dealing with responsibilities or constraints that feel more burdensome than usual. This could make it a bit harder to maintain your usual pace or optimism as you navigate these more pressing demands.

Saturday 05/04

• ☽ at 22° 34‘ Pisces ✳ ♅ at 22° 34‘ Taurus | 4:28 am eastern
• ☽ at 24° 56‘ Pisces ✳ ♃ at 24° 56‘ Taurus | 8:22 am eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♆ at 29° 02‘ Pisces  | 3:06 pm eastern
• ☽ V/C | 3:06 pm - 4:40 pm eastern  
• 🌘 Waning Crescent Moon | 4:25 pm eastern
• ☽ ▻ Aries | 4:40 pm eastern
• ☽ at 02° 06‘ Aries ✳ ♇ at 02° 06‘ Aquarius | 8:07 pm eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♂︎ at 03° 25‘ Aries  | 10:17 pm eastern

Saturday has two distinctly different vibes. 

The first half of the day is dreamy and optimistic making it great for connecting to your larger vision or spiritual pursuits. It would even be a great to go out and play.

However, once the Moon moves into Aries at 4:40 pm eastern the energy becomes more direct and aggressive. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, it’s great for having the get up and go to get things done but it might also show up as being more confrontational or easily irritated than usual. 

Sunday 05/05

• No aspects or ingresses

Sunday is astrologically quiet for the collective. Keep in mind that this does not mean there aren’t significant transits happening in your own chart and it doesn’t mean nothing will happen overall.

However, it is a bit quieter in general and a great day to feel into having both Venus and Mars in their home signs.

Until next time, my wish for you is the passionate audacity to pursue and delight in luxurious decadence. -Robin💋
