Weekly Horoscope: May 9–15, 2022

Alas, we the collective now find ourselves in the thick of things. Retrograde season is nigh — or rather, now. Almost two weeks ago, Pluto (planet of transformation) in Capricorn went retrograde. On Tuesday, Mercury (planet of communication) follows the lead of the planet of transformation and begins its own retrograde motion. Fortunately, Mercury ‘s Rx period is not nearly as long as Pluto’s. However, being in the sign of Gemini, Mercury’s sign of its rulership, this retrograde season will be especially heavy on the miscommunication, confusion, and general mishaps.

On the same day, Jupiter (planet of expansion) ends its sojourn in watery Pisces. While the sign of the Fish had us dreaming of a better life, Jupiter in Aries encourages us to get out and fight for what we desire. Each of us is the master of our reality, and this transit is here to remind us of that!

This week ends on a powerful note with the full moon in Scorpio. As was the case for the new moon in Taurus, this lunation falls on an eclipse. Though, this one is lunar rather than solar, as was the case a few weeks ago. All I can say is: prepare for intensity!

Sagittarius

Much like your zodiac neighbor, Scorpio, you’re up for an emotional purge this week, Sagittarius. Though, unlike Scorpio, it may feel a little less natural. Sunday’s full moon arrives in your unconscious and hidden zone, so any emotions that may come to the surface are definitely doing so begrudgingly. They may even be painful (and powerful, with the lunar eclipse). But brave them and you’ll be entering Gemini season with an emotional clean slate.

Capricorn

Contrary to popular belief, you are quite the steadfast friend, Capricorn. This week, with the Scorpio lunar eclipse dipping into your network and friendship sector, themes surrounding your connections will be prominent. You may find that your friendships require a little more tending while the full moon is in Scorpio. As you do so, take time to take a good look at these relationships and decide which — if any — need a little more watering or pruning.
