Mercury in Taurus
May 3 – May 17
A week for finishing, not starting. For reviewing, not launching. For saying less but meaning it more.

Mercury in Taurus
May 3 – May 17
A week for finishing, not starting. For reviewing, not launching. For saying less but meaning it more.
Venus in Gemini
May 4 – May 18
Relationships feel lighter. Good for reaching out, reconnecting, having the conversation you've been putting off.
Pluto Retrograde
May 6 – Oct 15
Wednesday is the heaviest day emotionally. Quiet, not dramatic. Something you've been avoiding asks for honest attention.
✦ For Scorpio
Mercury in Taurus sits directly opposite your sign this week — in your relationship house. Conversations with partners (romantic, creative, professional) slow down, become more deliberate, more honest. Agreements made this week tend to stick. Venus in Gemini deepens your engagement with shared resources, intimacy, and trust — a quietly significant time for financial conversations and for understanding what you and another person actually share. Pluto, your ruling planet, turns retrograde on the 6th. For you this is personal. A chapter of transformation turns inward. What have you already become that you haven't acknowledged yet?
This week: name what changed. Own it.
