Tuesday, MAY 5

Mercury forms a square with Pluto today, stirring some suspicion. We can be determined to get our message across and have others agree with our ideas, but we could be pushing too hard on this front.

This transit may play to our insecurities and fears of not getting all the information we need, or to our concerns that others don’t respect our views. We should 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.

Because Pluto is heading toward a station, this transit can feel more intense or problematic than usual.

However, Mercury is heading toward a sextile with the North Node, and we might connect with information or people who encourage us to grow, improve, or move forward.

The Moon continues its transit of forward-looking Sagittarius until 3:06 PM EDT, when it heads into practical Capricorn.

The Moon is void today until it enters Capricorn at 3:06 PM EDT.
