week of may 5-11 | transit guide
this week is heavy on the front end and quieter by the weekend.
mercury is squaring pluto exact today. this is the kind of energy where a conversation hits different than you expected, or you can't stop turning something over in your head. it's not a great day to make decisions from that mental spiral. sit with it first.
pluto stations retrograde tomorrow, may 6, and will be moving backward through aquarius until october. retrogrades are internalization periods. pluto rx specifically is about excavating what's been running underneath the surface. power dynamics, control, the structures you've built your identity around. expect some of that to get louder over the next few months before it gets quieter.
mars and jupiter are still in that square through early this week. this one's been building since may 3. it's a lot of energy with nowhere clean to go. impulse, overextension, doing too much. if you've been feeling restless or like you're pushing against something, that's this. it starts to ease up after may 6.
the second half of the week is quiet. use it.
