[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of May 12 - 18

This week there’s a lot of potential for drama but after months of feeling stuck, couldn’t you use a dramatic change of pace?

Monday 05/12

• Scorpio 🌕 Full Moon | 12:55 PM Eastern
• ☽ at 22° 12‘ ☍ ☉ at 22° 12‘ Taurus | 12:55 PM Eastern
• ☽ at 22° 12‘ Scorpio ☍ ☉ at 22° 12‘ Taurus | 12:55 PM Eastern
• ☿ at 03° 48‘ Taurus □ ♇  at 03° 48‘ Aquarius |1:22 PM Eastern
• ☽ at 27° 00‘ Scorpio ☍ ♅ at 27° 00‘ Taurus | 10:35 PM Eastern

Monday is one of those days where you can feel the pressure building. Conversations may be more loaded than usual and decisions could be more important than they initially seem. 

What holds through this kind of intensity is worth paying attention to—what breaks probably needed to.

• Best for: facing what’s been avoided, making clear decisions, noticing what still holds under pressure
• Potential Challenges: overreacting to emotional stress, getting pulled into control dynamics, pushing for answers that aren’t ready to surface

Tuesday 05/13

• ☽ at 29° 01‘ Scorpio △ ♄ at 29° 01‘ Pisces | 2:36 AM Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 2:36 AM - 4:34 AM Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Sagittarius | 4:34 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 27‘ Sagittarius  △ ♆ at 01° 27‘ Aries | 7:29 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 03° 47‘ Sagittarius  ✳ ♇ at 03° 47‘ Aquarius | 12:10 PM Eastern
• ☽ at 09° 07‘ Sagittarius △ ♀︎  at 09° 07‘ Aries | 10:47 PM Eastern

Tuesday it’s easier to open up or shift forward without too much resistance. It’s easier to connect with people or ideas that spark curiosity or pleasure. 

While some emotions run deeper than expected, they’re likely to motivate rather than slow anything down.

• Best for: creative plans, lighthearted connections, getting clarity through movement or change
• Potential Challenges: skipping over details, chasing a feeling without direction, misreading a signal as certainty

Wednesday 05/14

• ☽ at 11° 58‘ Sagittarius △ ♂︎ at 11° 58‘ Leo | 4:27 AM Eastern

Wednesday the vibe is more direct and there’s a clear push toward taking action. There’s less hesitation when it comes to doing what needs to be done or saying what’s on your mind. 

Momentum builds quickly and can be useful, but it may not come with a pause for second thoughts 👀

• Best for: taking initiative, getting through tasks quickly, speaking or acting with confidence
• Potential Challenges: overlooking consequences, reacting too strongly, moving faster than others can follow

Thursday 05/15

• ☽ at 24° 21‘ Sagittarius ☍ ♃ at 24° 21‘ Gemini | 4:54 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 29° 14‘ Sagittarius □ ♄ at 29° 14‘ Pisces |2:28 PM Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 2:28 - 3:57 PM Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Capricorn | 3:57 PM Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 31‘ Capricorn □ ♆ at 01° 31‘ Aries | 6:55 PM Eastern

Thursday there’s a pull to go bigger or do more but limits and confusion could creep in quickly if things aren’t clearly defined.

• Best for: big-picture thinking, noticing where confidence and limits collide, seeing where things are stretched too far
• Potential Challenges: overcommitting, missing key details, running into resistance that slows everything down

Friday 05/16

• 🌖 Waning Gibbous Moon | 1:28 PM Eastern
• ☽ at 11° 05‘ Capricorn △ ☿ at 11° 05‘ Taurus | 1:29 PM Eastern
• ☽ at 11° 14‘ Capricorn  □ ♀︎ at 11° 14‘ Aries | 1:45 PM Eastern

Friday is a non-nonsense kind of day. It’s easy to say what you mean, just not always easy to line that up with what you want or how someone else hears it. 

There’s a bit of a gap between practical stuff and personal expectations, and it might show up in small ways.

Best for: getting your thoughts in order, handling plans or decisions that need clear communication
Potential Challenges: feeling like you’re not being heard the way you intended, letting small stuff get under your skin

Saturday 05/17

• ☉ ☌ ♅ at 27° 17‘ Taurus | 7:32 PM Eastern
• ☽ at 27° 17‘ Capricorn △ ♅  at 27° 17‘ Taurus | 8:24 PM Eastern
• ☽ at 27° 20‘ Capricorn △ ☉ at 27° 20‘ Taurus  | 8:28 PM Eastern

Saturday something shifts, and even if it doesn’t look dramatic, the change is real.

There’s a sense that something that’s been stuck is finally ready to move or that something solid is suddenly up for negotiation.

• Best for: moments that break routine, sudden changes in direction, shifts in familiar dynamics
• Potential Challenges: disruptions to steady plans, tension around control, unexpected reactions from others

Sunday 05/18 

• ☽ at 29° 26‘ Capricorn ✳ ♄ at 29° 26‘ Pisces | 12:26 AM Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 12:26 - 1:29 AM Eastern
• ☿ at 13° 53‘ Taurus □ ♂︎ at 13° 53‘ Leo | 12:35 AM Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Aquarius | 1:29 - 2:29 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 34‘ Aquarius  ✳  ♆ at 01° 34‘ Aries | 4:26 AM Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♇ at 03° 46‘ Aquarius | 8:33 AM Eastern

Sunday tension shows up fast, especially in conversations where no one’s backing down.

There’s a sharp edge to how people state their opinions, and even simple interactions can stir up more drama than expected.

There’s determination behind the tension, but it doesn’t take much to knock conversations off course.

• Best for: standing your ground in difficult conversations, cutting through hesitation, acting with clarity under pressure
• Potential Challenges: misreading tone or intent, turning minor issues into bigger conflicts, pushing too hard to prove a point

Until next time, my wish for you is the courage to defend your dreams. - Robin 💋
