Wednesday, MAY 1
The Moon in fair-minded Aquarius brings a wave of friendly, progressive, and intelligent energy. This Moon encourages us to gravitate towards unusual and different activities, offering a unique perspective.
The Last Quarter Moon, coinciding with the Aquarius Moon’s square to the Sun, signals a time for review and sorting, rather than pushing for something new. Until the New Moon on the 7th, it’s a generally better time to tie up loose ends, take inventory, and most importantly, let go if necessary.
This period is about understanding what does and doesn’t work for us, empowering us to take control of our lives. Ideally, we channel the quarter Moon’s crisis-oriented energy into productivity.

Thursday, MAY 2
Pluto stations and turns retrograde today, and Pluto’s intense and complex energy hangs heavy in the air in the days surrounding this event.
Now and over the coming months (Pluto is retrograde until October 11th), we are not as open, overt, or direct about our desire for control or power, and some of us may be less in touch with it. This shift of direction can bring about some initial confusion, heaviness, and magnification of problems.
Pluto’s retrograde cycle itself, however, is an excellent period for research and gaining new insight into our self-destructive tendencies, needs for control, and search for the truth by looking within. Outward pressures may ease somewhat during this period. Over the coming months, we may reassess how we use our power.
This is the second retrograde Pluto makes while in the sign of Aquarius. On September 1st, retrograde Pluto will return to Capricorn for the final time.
Today, we approach a Mars-Pluto sextile that’s a little more powerful due to Pluto’s station. We benefit from a patient and deliberate approach rather than pushing for immediate action.
The Moon continues in the sign of Aquarius until 2:52 PM EDT, when it moves into Pisces, awakening our need for spiritual refreshment or escape. Ideally, this is a time for decompressing, winding down, and tapping into our intuition.
The Moon is void from 5:28 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Pisces at 2:52 PM EDT.

Friday, MAY 3
Mars forms a sextile with Pluto this morning, and our drive to succeed, excel, and control is stirring with positive results. We might throw ourselves wholeheartedly into a pursuit. Pursuing our goals and satisfying our desires feels natural, and we’re better at strategy—ambitions and determination increase. We’re getting in touch with what we want and devising plans to go for it. We may be focusing on redoing or reworking something from the ground up.
However, the Sun forms a semi-square to Neptune later today, and there can be some indecision, limbo, or listlessness. Our willpower can plummet as we stray from our goals and temporarily lose focus. This aspect is a gentle reminder to consider our need for downtime, fantasy, or spiritual refreshment.

Saturday, MAY 4
The Moon continues its transit of Pisces until 4:41 PM EDT, harmonizing with Jupiter and Uranus and aligning with Neptune. We’re not only tuning into our imagination but also finding ways to put it to positive use. The importance of emotional or mental refreshment cannot be overstated, as it helps us gain perspective.
However, we crave action with the Moon’s move into Aries at 4:41 PM and its alignment with Mars tonight. Taking the initiative is appropriate now.
A Mars-Pallas trine points to the courage and energy to back up our beliefs, and a Venus-Juno trine inclines us toward togetherness, creating harmony, and sharing power. We may gain an advantage not only in our personal lives but also in business or finances by promoting peace.
The Moon is void from 3:06 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Neptune), until the Moon enters Aries at 4:41 PM EDT.

Sunday, MAY 5
The Moon spends the day in straightforward, bold, action-oriented Aries. We want to start fresh and move on, and we have no interest in dwelling on the past. We can be excited about our personal plans. However, this Moon can be impatient and hasty. This evening, the Moon aligns with the North Node of the Moon, reminding us to embrace our individuality and assert ourselves confidently.

Monday, MAY 6
Saturn forms a semi-square with Pluto, and it’s the first of three, the following two perfections to occur on September 25th, 2024, and January 26th, 2025. This longer-term transit points to possible power struggles, frustration, and manipulation. We may recognize the need for change but feel blocked by others or by circumstances, or we might attempt to stubbornly hold on to what has worked for us in the past. Persistence will pay off in the end, and the need to adjust our expectations becomes obvious.
Tonight, Mercury aligns with Chiron. This aspect first formed on March 20th and then April 15th while Mercury was retrograde. It increases our intuitive understanding and brings more sensitivity to our communications. We’re more attuned than usual to communication nuances, and we might now have a fuller picture of an issue that first presented itself in the second half of March.
As the day advances, we approach a Sun-Saturn sextile, exact very early tomorrow, reminding us to plan and organize. It’s an excellent influence for preparing and attending to our practical affairs. We’re giving our priorities extra attention and our best efforts.
This transit helps ground us, or at the least, provides us with a sense of rhythm and reminds us to pace ourselves. It has the beautiful potential to teach us that humbling ourselves to accept constructive criticism and advice or recognizing areas that need strengthening can be beneficial. It supports disciplining ourselves to bring more purpose and practicality to our lives. Self-awareness leads to realistic plans and goals. We prefer and benefit from conservative, safe moves now.
The Moon is void from 1:58 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Mercury), until the Moon enters Taurus at 5:43 PM EDT.

Tuesday, MAY 7
The Moon spends the day in Taurus and aligns with Venus this morning, guiding us towards activities that bring more beauty and harmony to our lives. This Moon, a steady and pleasant influence, helps us pace ourselves and make decisions that align with our desires.
Tonight, the New Moon occurs at 11:22 PM EDT, further influencing our actions and decisions in the days ahead. You might make personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Bull. It’s time to enjoy life’s simple and physical pleasures and activities that bring us in touch with nature and our bodies.
This New Moon encourages us to “stop and smell the roses” and become more aware of what makes us feel comfortable and secure. It’s an excellent cycle for re-evaluating our relationship with money and possessions. We’re discovering what truly satisfies and fulfills us. We may build and develop the initiatives and innovations begun in the Aries cycle. With this potent Taurus energy, we have the chance to make significant changes in our lives.
This New Moon aligns with Uranus and harmonizes with Saturn. We’re listening to our needs for change and innovation, but we’re respecting the process, the need for patience, and what’s worked for us in the past.

Wednesday, MAY 8
We can be filled with ideas and possibilities on this day after a New Moon in Taurus. While yesterday’s New Moon continues to energize us, we’re coming down to earth on some level, recognizing the value of taking care of business.
We’re also inspired, especially with the Taurus Moon’s alignment with Uranus and Jupiter. Today’s Moon in Taurus until 7:21 PM EDT is harmony-oriented, comfortable, and stubborn, and its connections magnify its patient, warm, and indulgent energy. We’re reaching for our joy and seeking to grow, develop, and improve, primarily through embracing our desire for comfort, security, and groundedness. At the same time, we’re looking to improve and make progress.
The Moon heads into Gemini at 7:21 PM, and our need for mental stimulation emerges. Our curiosity about what’s happening around us increases. It’s a good time to diversify, put out our feelers, and pick up new ideas or tips.
The Moon is void from 5:56 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Neptune), until the Moon enters Gemini at 7:21 PM EDT.

Today’s Moon Forecast
Moon in Aries
We're motivated by a strong desire to start fresh. A gut instinct to start something new is with us now, as well as the gumption to do so. Our pioneering impulses are strong, and we feel energetic, spontaneous, and enthusiastic. We may also be tactless and impulsive now. Excess energy is best channeled into physical activity.
The Moon in Aries generally favors the following activities: Quick actions that yield immediate results. Undertakings that involve the self and the personality. (Staying power may be lacking). Self-assertion, taking on challenges, beginning short-term projects.
