The Week of May 4th, 2026

A confidence boost, courtesy of Mars

The astrology of the week of May 4th, 2026, offers a much-needed morale boost. When Mars squares Jupiter, our confidence to take action skyrockets, and our nerve is bolstered by how we’ve handled all the challenges of the last few weeks. And as Mercury squares Pluto, right before the planet of the underworld stations retrograde in Aquarius, we’re asked to identify the problems in our systems and dive into deep conversation about the changes we need going forward. Then the Sun’s sextile to Jupiter reminds us that we can take our time and relish the things that bring us joy. Don’t let this surge of energy go to waste.

The Week of April 27th, 2026

Unlocking your power with the Scorpio Full Moon

The astrology of the week of April 27th, 2026, is transformative, to say the least. The Scorpio Full Moon reveals the harsh truths we have to face if we want to grow. And as Venus trines Pluto, squares the lunar nodes, and sextiles Saturn, we’re encouraged to not only build meaningful connections but ground into the power of those relationships. Plus, Mercury’s conjunction with Chiron brings our hurts to the surface and pushes us to have the tough (but necessary) conversations so we can heal. It may seem heavy, but showing up with courage and commitment now will help us unlock the change we need most.

The Week of April 20th, 2026

A new era of innovation with Uranus in Gemini

The astrology of the week of April 20th, 2026, puts our endurance to the test. The Mars–Saturn conjunction highlights where our systems, boundaries, and long-term plans are struggling to stay afloat — but it also brings us the courage we need to face the challenges and obstacles ahead. As Mercury meets up with Mars and Saturn, we get more clarity on the difficulties we’re up against. And Uranus’ return to Gemini begins a seven-year shake-up of the world order as we know it and launches us into a whole new era of innovation. Now is the time to get strategic and stay focused. Remember: Even small progress is still progress.
