Monday, May 4 — Sagittarius Fire, Aim Matters
As you heard last week, we are now in the waning Moon cycle, following Friday’s full Moon (in the podcast please adjust timing from Eastern Time Zone, if needed).
We open this week with the Moon in Sagittarius, and Monday is a strong day for finishing things—working with what already has momentum, connecting with people in ways that pull things together. There’s a lot of energy here. Sagittarius is mutable and adaptable, and as the Moon moves, it trines Mars—the planet of action and desire.
Even though the Moon goes void of course at 5:33 p.m. Eastern, there’s still a window where that Sagittarian energy is active.
The key: know what you’re aiming for.
Sagittarius can get excited, pulled into ideas and conversations, and lose focus. It’s active—but not always targeted. This is the sign of the archer. Place your arrow with intention, especially into the evening.
This energy carries through to about mid-morning Tuesday.
Tuesday, May 5 — Shift into Capricorn, Reality Check
The Moon enters Capricorn at 3:06 p.m.
From mid-morning until then, the energy shifts from “push” to “assess.” What worked? What didn’t? Gather your thoughts, organize, clean up what’s in the way.
Once in Capricorn, it’s time to roll up your sleeves.
Tuesday afternoon through the next couple of days is about evaluating where you are—and having the harder conversations. Power dynamics, impasses, and repeating patterns may surface.
Watch for the “ping-pong” conversations—the ones where you already know the script.
What matters is catching yourself in the moment.
When the ball comes your way and your response is automatic, pause. Change it. Offer something different.
It disrupts the pattern.
It’s like wrestling—choreographed, predictable. The players know the outcome. But when you shift your move, the other person doesn’t know what comes next.
So ask:
What can I say differently?
How can I shift this?
It may not land smoothly—but it creates space.
Capricorn brings emotional realism. It can feel cold, but it sees clearly. And that matters.
There’s a difference between imagining something new and actually seeing what’s in front of you.
Between magical thinking and reinvention.
Wednesday, May 6 — Pluto Retrograde
Pluto goes retrograde at 11:34 a.m.
This shift may not be felt immediatly, but over the coming weeks and months, we’ll begin to see its effects—especially with Pluto in Aquarius.
Collectively, this points to reconsideration around technology, systems, and power structures.
Personally, if Pluto is active in your chart—especially early degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio—you may feel this shift more directly. It can feel like relief or like something heavy returning.
Globally, expect intensification around power, resources, and control. We’re already seeing this reflected in world events.
On a practical level, Wednesday is productive—good for doing the work—as long as everyone is aligned.
Thursday, May 7 — Raw Morning, Void Moon Reset
Thursday morning is raw.
People may be cranky, reactive, or argumentative—especially from early morning through late morning. If anything was left unresolved, this is when it shows up.
The Moon goes void of course at 10:18 a.m. for the rest of the day.
Best approach: handle things ahead of time (Wednesday). Check in. Make sure everyone is on the same page.
Capricorn energy can get very task-focused, but if people don’t feel heard or supported, frustrations surface.
After the void Moon, the afternoon and evening can be quite productive—especially for follow-through.
Friday, May 8 — Aquarius Flow, Collective Momentum
The Moon enters Aquarius at 3:27 a.m., and now things begin to flow.
There’s a nice hum here.
After a week of managing dynamics, Friday feels lighter. If you’re in sync, you’re in it—focused, engaged, in your element.
This is great for collaboration, community, shared goals. Whether in person or across distances, there’s a sense of collective movement.
Even in a waning Moon cycle, there’s initiation energy.
Something that stalled may come back online—new information, new resources, or a key person entering the mix.
Sometimes the power source is simply the right person at the right time.
Sunday, May 10 — Void Moon Morning, Pisces Softening
The Moon goes void of course at 1:09 a.m. (Mother’s Day in the U.S.) and doesn’t enter Pisces until 1:39 p.m.
The morning is for slowing down. Unplug. Journal. Rest.
Aquarius energy is electric and mental—this is your chance to step away and let things settle.
Bake, garden, walk—connect in a more organic way.
Once the Moon enters Pisces, the energy softens. More intuitive, more fluid.
With Uranus now in Gemini, there may be an unexpected shift—something out of the blue. Not negative, just a redirection. Likely mid-afternoon.
By evening, there’s a sweetness. A sense of expansion, possibility, something opening.
Lean into that.
Because later, things may narrow or refine—but if you’ve allowed yourself to fully expand into possibility, what remains will be something you can truly build.
Not just realistic.
Realizable.
