Current Conditions: A major shift in cosmic weather hits this week as Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius (May 4), dragging us into psychological storm zones that will dominate the next four and a half months. Mercury enters Taurus on May 10, offering soothing language—but don’t trust the tone. Behind every comforting phrase may lurk a suppressed truth.
We are in a period of mass internal destabilization. Think less sunny forecast, more pressure system. Pluto’s retrograde brings the return of buried chaos, and Mercury’s entrance into Taurus attempts to cover it with platitudes. Expect a collision between control and concealment.
This isn’t a week for distractions. It’s a week to brace.
This Week’s Top Astrological Headlines
May 4: Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius — long-term themes of control, exposure, and ideological extremism reawaken.

Sky Surveillance: This Week’s High-Impact Systems
🚨 Plutonic Pressure Zone (Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius)
A high-risk internal weather system is stalling over Aquarius. Pluto's retrograde on May 4 initiates a four-month stretch of psychological instability, deep review, and exposure of hidden dynamics. Expect increased ideological volatility, power struggles, and mass-level reassessments.
Fixed signs are in the direct path of this retrograde storm:
Taurus: Ground shaken. Resistance challenged.
Leo: Ego exposed. Glory questioned.
Scorpio: Shadows dragged into the light.
Aquarius: System reset. Detachment no longer works.
Air signs Gemini and Libra may receive supportive breakthroughs, while Aries and Sagittarius face reality checks that cut deeper than expected.
⚠️ Misinformation Front (Mercury in Taurus square Pluto Rx)
Beginning May 10, Mercury enters Taurus and immediately clashes with Pluto Rx via a superior square. This creates a powerful cognitive dissonance front: reassuring language meets manipulative power dynamics. Institutional gaslighting, distraction tactics, and narrative control will intensify.
Key indicators:
Sugar-coated statements with no follow-through
Passive-aggressive communication from authority figures
Emotional avoidance disguised as "keeping the peace"
Stay alert. Double-check sources. And if the facts feel fuzzy, assume you’re not being told the full story.
If it sounds too calm to be real, it probably isn’t.
Forecast by Sign
Each sign faces this week’s storm differently. Whether you're under direct pressure or just feeling the ripple effects, pay attention to how you’re reacting, responding, and rerouting. The frequencies are shifting. Tune in accordingly.
Aries
The network is glitching—and you’re at the center of the signal. This week reveals cracks in your public persona and group alignment. Don’t default to outrage. Reroute. Rewire.
Taurus
Your message is being tested. Mercury gives you a microphone, but Pluto checks your script. Are you speaking your truth—or someone else’s agenda?
Gemini
Static’s building behind the scenes. What you’ve filed under “deal with later” is demanding airtime. Answer the call. It won’t stop ringing.
Cancer
Emotional noise from others could cloud your own signal. Step back, filter what’s coming in, and ground yourself before you broadcast anything.
Leo
You’re caught in a ratings war with Aquarius. But this isn’t about who gets the spotlight—it’s about who stays accountable once it’s on them. Keep your ego in check.
Virgo
Mercury’s trying to calm the airwaves, but you can hear the frequency shift. Don’t settle for nice packaging—scrutinize the source. Something’s not adding up.
Libra
Pluto’s not hitting you head-on, but you’re still in the cross-chatter. Use your diplomatic edge to parse signal from noise—but don’t become the station manager for someone else’s chaos.
Scorpio
This week is a deep scan. Pluto’s flipping through your hard drive for corrupted files. Face what surfaces. No deflection, no deletion.
Sagittarius
You can’t tune this one out. An old storyline is looping and Pluto’s turned up the volume. Take responsibility for the role you played—and rewrite the next scene.
Capricorn
Your structures are sound, but adjacent towers are shaking. Be the anchor, not the bystander. The world’s watching how you respond.
Aquarius
Your transmission is scrambled. This isn’t about looking put-together—it’s about owning the mess beneath. Pluto’s pressing record.
Pisces
You’re picking up on everything, but it’s time to choose what gets airtime. Don’t confuse quiet for clarity. Your intuition has something sharp to say.
⚠️ EMERGENCY BROADCAST
Pluto Retrograde has begun. Mercury enters Taurus and is immediately pressured to lie. Comfort is compromised. The truth is inconvenient. Don’t trust sweet talk.

Since pluto is retrograding in quarius on 5/4, it may give a redo in the humanitarian efforts within our own personal lives, and within the lives of us globally, because everybody knows everybody's watching United states of America.... everybody's watching to see what's going to happen here. And that retrograde is not backing up into Capricorn. Again, it's not going to do it. It's going to back up at 1°, and then stay there. I don't know how long and then go forward from there. So wherever we were at a few months ago at 1° Aquarius, we're gonna just go back and say, maybe we need to take this seriously, maybe we need to really think Of our humanitarian efforts, because aquarius is the one that is the water beare. It's the one that thinks about systems in a new revolutionary fashion.
And for all of us, we may be rethinking about how the power structures ARE changing RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES ....or how those power structures want to change? But we, the people may have to come up and rethink. How are we going to revise this plan? So this regime doesn't take over the world like Pinky in the Brain!
I think this may be a little subtle wake up call, because Pluto is a little subtle. But I can feel it because Pluto inaquarius is in my first house.
Just 5 months into the year, and we may need to rethink about the power structures we have here and how those power structures are going to affect our very lives.
This is the language I speak and understand, THANK YOU from a LEO ASCENDANT and MOON with her Sun in 5th house in Sagittarius, oh wait…Procession says what? Confusion reigns in my Zodiac signs and any plain language is so nice. ♡
