Welcome back babes! Hope everyone had a wonderful end of April and start of May last week! The energy is gaining traction this week as we gear up for a Full Moon Sunday/Monday & some planetary shifts worth discussing. We also will see a new shift in our communication, one that will bring in a new energy of stability and growth, and some new discoveries as well.

Energy as of Monday
The week starts with the weekend's lingering Moon in Leo, a sign known for creativity, confidence, and self-expression. Now is a great time to be a little extra when it comes to your creative outlets. If you've been meaning to paint, write, or perform, now is the time to act. Even a simple outing to a park or gallery can reignite your artistic passion. Allow yourself to explore various avenues of self-expression. The inspiration from the Leo Moon is a reminder that your voice and contributions matter in the world.
While the Moon tells us to be bold, the Sun in Taurus is encouraging us to lean more towards radiating a steady and nurturing energy. This sign emphasizes the importance of self-care and finding joy in life’s simple pleasures. Monday's energy is an excellent time to engage in activities that bring you comfort and happiness. Taurus loves the good things in life and knows how to make sure they have those comforts in their successes, so now is the time to embrace the stubbornness of Taurus and get after what you want.
The mix of Leo and Taurus on Monday gives the energy of luxury and knowing how to nurture and take care of yourself. This period is an invitation to reflect on personal values. Think about what gives you a sense of security and joy in your life. By aligning your actions with what you cherish most, you can foster a deeper sense of fulfillment. Taurus Sun energy knows what the collective truly wants, Leo Moon energy shines the light to pay attention to where we are dimming ourselves to soothe others.

New to This Week's Energy
Yesterday marked the beginning of Pluto's retrograde. From May 4 to October 13, we will experience subtle but extreme shifts in the realms of power, transformation, technology, and collective systems. When it comes to the overall energy of the collective's freedom, this is a significant five-month phase that encourages us to examine power dynamics and control issues, both personally and in our communities.
Pluto’s retrograde phase stirs emotions and prompts us to confront truths we might have ignored. It is a period for deep exploration of interpersonal relationships and our roles in the structures around us. This time is also about rebirth and transformation. Embrace the opportunity for growth and engage in practices like journaling or meditation to help process the insights that arise during this transition. Don't be surprised if you are a completely different person in 5 months.
On May 10, Mercury enters Taurus, signaling a change in how we communicate and think. The impulsive energy of Aries gives way to a more grounded, methodical approach. During this period, our conversations will be more thoughtful, focusing on practical matters and tangible results. We are in building block talk territory. Expect your discussions to slow down, allowing for clearer expression and deeper analysis. This is an ideal time for decisions that require careful thought.

How to Maximize This Week's Energy
Reflect During Pluto Retrograde
To engage fully with the transformative energy of Pluto's retrograde, carve out time for reflection. Set up a serene environment to write in a journal or meditate on personal themes, such as power dynamics or control issues. This practice can reveal insights about your relationships and self-perception. Retrogrades beg us to be more methodical with our approaches and slow down to receive the messages we may have been missing.
Ground Your Thoughts with Mercury in Taurus
As Mercury journeys into Taurus, aim to root your thoughts in reality. Deliberately slowing down will help you achieve greater clarity in decisions and communications. Pluto's energy is backing this as well, be a snail. Create systems or routines to stay organized. Break down larger projects into smaller, concrete steps. With a focus on clarity, you can communicate your thoughts and feelings effectively, leading to more meaningful interactions.
The Tortoise Won the Race
With a bold but calm start to the week, the build-up to the Scorpio Full Moon will be less chaotic than usual thanks to the heavy Taurus energy in the sky. Still, expect emotions to be high and power dynamics to be at the forefront of the daily news. The deep-rooted fears are going to start being exposed the closer we get to the end of the week, so slow down and move with intention. Breakthroughs are on the other side of next week, so keep calm, keep a steady pace, and everything will be alright. When in doubt, tell the trees your problems, put your feet in the grass or water, and stay grounded.
Until next time,
xoxo
