May 8 through May 14, 2023
Emotional balance will return this week, as we embrace some personal changes and devote more time to our relationships. The main astrological event this week will be Mercury turning retrograde on Sunday. Keep in mind we can usually notice the effects of Mercury retrograde as it slows down to change direction, so electronic glitches and miscommunication could start as early as Monday and continue through the week. Monday’s Sagittarius Moon casts a happy-go-lucky air around us, and though we may not get much done, we can make up for lost time on Tuesday and Wednesday when the Moon marches through Capricorn. Watch for change and things to start moving forward again on Thursday and Friday, as an Aquarius Moon sets the stage for progress. The weekend unfolds under an easygoing Pisces Moon, and except for Mercury’s shift to retrograde on Sunday, everything should hum along peacefully.
