This Week in Astrology: Supportive Energy, Grounded Action 🌿 (5th–12th May)

As we move through the first quarter Moon phase in the heart of spring, this week offers supportive energy for taking aligned, grounded action. The energy is dynamic yet stabilising—perfect for making tangible progress on your intentions. With the Sun and Mercury providing focus and follow-through, there's real potential to bring ideas into form. We’re also building towards a deeply emotional and potentially transformative Full Moon next Monday, which arrives alongside a Mercury–Pluto square. The intensity of that alignment will begin to build as the week unfolds, encouraging us to act consciously and stay attuned to what feels truly aligned.

Astro Highlights of This Week

Monday 5th May

Mercury in Aries sextile Jupiter in Gemini @ 22 degrees

• Encouraging and forward-moving conversations which lead to assertive action

• Ideas may flow more freely, sparking creative thinking and inspiring decisive action. This is a good day for brainstorming or initiating discussions that lead to growth.

Tuesday 6th May

Venus in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius @ 3 degrees

• Potential for a meaningful or transformative development within relationships—romantic, platonic or even professional.

• Consider where this aspect falls in your chart; it may give you an insight into what area of life or with who your relationships are transforming

Saturday 10th May

Mercury enters Taurus

• A noticeable change in pace and tone following the recent retrogrades in Pisces and Aries—this marks a turn towards more grounded, deliberate thinking.

• There’s a growing sense of stability and a desire to make tangible progress. It becomes easier to focus on practical matters and long-term plans.

• However, Mercury will soon square Pluto retrograde, suggesting that new clarity may be accompanied by some tension or power struggles, especially where communication is concerned.

Enjoy the harmony and flow! Have a wonderful week 🌷💫🌿
