Horoscope for the Week of May 5th-11th 2025

After the heat and strain of last week’s Mars–Pluto opposition, we’re no longer pushing against a wall, but we’re not exactly coasting either. The air’s still charged. But now, it's about what you do with the spark.

There’s a cautious optimism building—a sense that maybe things could start moving again. But the question isn’t just about motion. It’s about direction, clarity, and whether what you’re chasing is actually worth the effort it’ll take to get there.

Let’s take a look, day by day:

Monday: Off the Grid (Moon in Leo → Virgo, Hanging Out With Regulus)

We begin with a Moon that’s technically not void, but certainly isn’t interested in conversation. It doesn’t make any major aspects, so there’s a sense of drifting—or more accurately, a sense of needing to self-source. If you find yourself feeling underseen, underheard, or underwhelmed by the world's response to your presence, take that as a cue to look inward rather than casting about for validation.

With the Moon passing near Regulus, there’s a subtle call to visibility—maybe even to legacy—but it’s tempered by the quiet. Today’s not about being celebrated. It’s about understanding why you might crave it in the first place.

Tuesday: Training Montage (Moon in Virgo, Mars moving away from Pluto, Venus applying)

Tuesday echoes Monday’s restraint, but with more focus. Mars is finally pulling out of Pluto’s long shadow, and Venus is coming in close behind. Think: competitive edge starting to feel less like a burden and more like a game. The Moon in Virgo has us looking at details, routines, and prep work—not glamorous, but essential.

This is the kind of day where you lay the groundwork. Not for the grand reveal, but for the structure behind it. The charisma you’ll need, the strength you’ll draw on, the habits that allow the big moments to land later.

Wednesday: Mental Decluttering (Mercury in late Aries, Moon conjoins South Node)

Here’s where we feel the friction. Mercury’s at the tail end of Aries, trying to get one last zinger in before it settles into Taurus. There’s a burst of thought, a desire to speak or act or publish or declare. But the Moon in Virgo, touching the South Node, says: not everything needs to be said. Not everything needs to be pursued.

This is a day for letting go of the mental clutter—the schemes, the pitches, the plans that felt exciting but don’t actually hold weight under scrutiny. Let your enthusiasm burn off just enough to see what’s left when the smoke clears. Mercury’s about to slow down. Better to enter that space with a clean desk and a clearer mind.

Thursday: Sorting the Options (Moon in Libra, opposes Venus, sextiles Mars)

Now the game starts to feel fun again. With the Moon in Libra activating both Venus and Mars, there’s movement—not necessarily decisive, but definitely flirty.

You may find yourself fielding offers—romantic, professional, creative. And the trick isn’t just to pick the shiniest one, but to pay attention to how you respond. Where does your energy rise? Where does it get quieter? Engage with what excites you, but don’t get carried away just yet. Think of it as pre-screening candidates before the real auditions begin.

Friday: Spark Meets Stage (Venus trine Mars, Moon in Libra)

This is where we start to feel the payoff. The trine between Venus and Mars is growing stronger, and the mood is ripe for a little risk, a little boldness, a little “maybe this could go somewhere.” Whether it’s a date, a pitch, a new idea, or a creative venture—you might feel the sparks starting to catch some kindling.

Just keep one foot on the ground. There’s a difference between showing up as your full, authentic self… and ignoring social cue’s because you’re “just being real.” Confidence is beautiful. So is timing.

Saturday: The Reality Check (Mercury enters Taurus, Moon enters Scorpio)

If Friday was the date, Saturday is the morning after. Not necessarily in a bad way—but the vibe shifts. With Mercury shifting into Taurus and the Moon diving into Scorpio, there’s a sense of an emotional hangover. Feelings echo louder than usual. A small moment could hit like a thunderclap.

This is where you check in with yourself. Was that thing you were excited about real—or just adrenaline? Do you still want it now that your seeing it under the harsh morning light? Don’t overreact to every impression, but don’t ignore them either. The Moon in Scorpio amplifies subtler feelings. Let it teach you—but don’t let it distort your view.

Sunday: Disruption or Evolution? (Sun in Taurus approaching Uranus)

We close the week with the Sun edging toward Uranus. You’ve been building something, securing something—and now you’re asked to consider whether it just needs some maintenance or a total overhaul.

Sometimes it just takes a few tweaks to reinvent something reliable but clunky. But getting too carried away trying to sup up your dishwasher may leave you with 150 pounds of scrap and back to washing them by hand.
