Thursday, MAY 16

With a Virgo Moon all day, it can be satisfying to handle practical matters. We want to be useful and productive, and focusing on details seems the best route to making headway. We tend to focus on the parts that make up a whole.

As the day advances, Mercury heads toward a square to Pluto, stirring some suspicion. We can be determined to get our message across and have others agree with our ideas.

This aspect will become exact early tomorrow, and it may play to our insecurities and fears that we’re not getting all the information we need or that others don’t respect our views. We should avoid forcing our opinions on others and instead strive for healthy skepticism rather than suspicion or paranoia.

Obsessive thinking is possible now, but with self-awareness and mindfulness, we might engage in in-depth, penetrating communication or think more deeply about a matter.
