Welcome to a powerful turning point in the year. After months of every planet moving direct, the sky is finally taking its first deep breath as Pluto stations retrograde on Wednesday, May 6th at 1:51 AM PT. This is the headline of the week and the headline of the next several months. Pluto in Aquarius has been actively rewriting the future, and now it pivots inward, asking us to do the slow, internal work of releasing what is no longer aligned with the version of us that is rising. Add in Tuesday's Mercury square Pluto, Wednesday's beautiful Moon in Capricorn trine Sun in Taurus, Friday's Moon meeting Pluto, and Saturday's Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius, and we have a week that is asking us to slow down, listen deeply, and release with intention. Welcome to retrograde season. πͺβ¨
πΉ Sunday, May 3
- Moon in Sagittarius
- Moon in Sagittarius opposes Uranus in Gemini
- Moon in Sagittarius trines Neptune in Aries
- Moon in Sagittarius sextiles Pluto in Aquarius
- Moon in Sagittarius trines Saturn in Aries
We begin the week with the Moon still in Sagittarius, holding us in expansive, optimistic, big-picture energy. After the intensity of the Scorpio Full Moon, today is a soft landing. The Moon makes a beautiful set of aspects today, opposing Uranus in Gemini for sparks of insight, then flowing into trines with Neptune and Saturn in Aries and a sextile to Pluto in Aquarius. The Neptune trine softens the day, the Saturn trine grounds us, and the Pluto sextile invites us to look at what is ready to be transformed.
Sagittarius asks us to zoom out, dream bigger, and reconnect with the vision we are working toward. Spend time today journaling about where you want to be six months from now, a year from now, five years from now. The clearer your vision, the faster the universe can move things into place. What lights you up so much that thinking about it makes your whole body say yes?
π’ Monday, May 4
- Moon in Sagittarius
- Mars in Aries squares Jupiter in Cancer
- Moon in Sagittarius opposes Venus in Gemini
- Moon in Sagittarius trines Mars in Aries
The Moon stays in Sagittarius, keeping our energy expansive and optimistic. Mars in Aries makes its final square to Jupiter in Cancer today, a moment of tension between the part of you that wants to charge ahead and the part of you that wants to feel safe and held. This square asks: where have you been pushing too hard, and where can you trust the slower, softer way? The Moon opposes Venus in Gemini, which can stir feelings around love, beauty, and connection, and trines Mars in Aries, giving us the courage to act on what we know is true. Mars is in the late degrees of Aries this week, finishing a powerful chapter of forward motion before it eventually moves into Taurus later this month. Use today to take one bold action that aligns with the bigger vision you tapped into yesterday. Trust your fire. You have momentum on your side.
π¬ Tuesday, May 5
- Moon enters Capricorn at 12:06 PM PT
- Mercury in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius
- Moon in Capricorn squares Neptune in Aries
The morning carries the last of the Sagittarius Moon, and at 12:06 PM PT the Moon enters Capricorn, grounding us into structure, strategy, and steady progress. Today also brings Mercury in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius, a powerful aspect for deep, honest conversations. Pluto pulls truth to the surface, and Mercury in Taurus speaks slowly and steadily. If something has been on your mind that needs to be said, today is the day to say it. Choose your words with intention and let yourself be heard. The Moon in Capricorn squares Neptune in Aries this evening, which can blur the line between what is real and what is wishful, so trust your discernment. Truth told from a grounded place is the most powerful kind of truth there is. This aspect is also a preview of the Pluto retrograde station happening in just a few hours, so notice what is rising in your awareness.
β©οΈ Wednesday, May 6
- Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius at 1:51 AM PT
- Moon in Capricorn
- Moon in Capricorn trines Mercury in Taurus
- Moon in Capricorn squares Saturn in Aries
- Moon in Capricorn trines Sun in Taurus
This is the day to circle on your calendar. Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius at 1:51 AM PT, ending our period of all planets moving direct and beginning a five month chapter of inward, transformational work. Pluto retrograde is not something to fear. It is the cosmos turning the lens inward and inviting you to confront the deepest patterns you are ready to release. Where in your life are you still operating from old conditioning? What power have you been giving away? Pluto retrograde is here to help you take it back. Read more on the blog here.
The Moon in Capricorn supports this with a trine to Mercury in Taurus, opening clear, steady communication, and a square to Saturn in Aries that asks us to take responsibility for what we are building. Then later in the day, the Moon in Capricorn trines the Sun in Taurus, the most harmonious aspect of the week. This earth trine between the two luminaries supports steady progress on what you are building. Plant the seed. Send the email. Have the meeting. Take the step. The work you do today lands. Pair the inner shift of Pluto retrograde with the outer action of the Sun-Moon trine, and you have a day of powerful alignment.
π Thursday, May 7
- Moon in Capricorn
- Moon in Capricorn opposes Jupiter in Cancer
- Moon in Capricorn squares Mars in Aries
The Moon stays in Capricorn today, keeping us anchored in the work. The Moon opposes Jupiter in Cancer, asking us to balance our practical structure with our emotional needs, and squares Mars in Aries, which can bring up impatience or restless energy. This is a great day for organizing, planning, and getting clear on your next moves, but also a day to listen to your body when it asks for rest. Capricorn rules the bones and the structure of the body, so this is a beautiful day to take care of the foundation that holds you up, both physically and energetically. With Pluto now retrograde, ask yourself: what part of my foundation needs reinforcing? What part needs to be released so something stronger can take its place?
π Friday, May 8
- Moon enters Aquarius at 12:28 AM PT
- Moon in Aquarius trines Uranus in Gemini
- Moon in Aquarius sextiles Neptune in Aries
- Moon in Aquarius conjuncts Pluto in Aquarius
- Moon in Aquarius sextiles Saturn in Aries
The Moon shifts into Aquarius just after midnight, pulling us out of Capricorn structure and into Aquarian vision. Within hours, the Moon meets Pluto in Aquarius for a conjunction that brings powerful insight and emotional clarity. With Pluto now retrograde, this conjunction is even more potent. The Moon also trines Uranus in Gemini for unexpected breakthroughs, sextiles Neptune in Aries for spiritual openness, and sextiles Saturn in Aries to anchor what arises into structure.
This is a deep day. It is asking you to look honestly at the patterns, fears, and hidden truths that are ready to be transformed. Pluto in Aquarius is rewriting how we relate to power, to community, and to the future, and the Moon meeting Pluto today gives you a glimpse of what you are being asked to release on the collective level and the personal level. Trust whatever rises today. The truth wants to be seen.
π Saturday, May 9
- Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius at 2:11 PM PT
- Moon in Aquarius squares Mercury in Taurus
- Moon in Aquarius trines Venus in Gemini
- Moon in Aquarius squares Sun in Taurus
- Moon in Aquarius sextiles Mars in Aries
We reach the release point of the lunar cycle. The Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius arrives at 2:11 PM PT, marking the moment in the cycle to let go, recalibrate, and clear space for what is coming. The Sun in Taurus squares the Moon in Aquarius, creating the friction that fuels release. The Moon also squares Mercury in Taurus, which can bring up tension in conversations or thoughts you have been wrestling with, while a beautiful trine to Venus in Gemini softens the day and reminds us that love and connection are always there. A sextile to Mars in Aries gives us the courage to take action on the release.
With Pluto now retrograde and asking us to go inward, this Last Quarter Moon is a powerful release point for the deeper patterns surfacing this week. What in your life is no longer matching the version of you that is rising? What habits, beliefs, relationships, or routines are ready to be set down so you can move forward lighter? Aquarius energy invites you to think differently and see your life from a higher perspective. Take time tonight to write a release list. Burn it, bury it, or simply tear it up. Make space for what wants to come in next.
