Mercury Cazimi in Taurus: The Clarity You’ve Been Waiting For

The Sun is conjunct Mercury in practical and grounded Taurus on May 14th, 2026. When the Sun and Mercury are conjunct, things actually feel clear instead of chaotic. You might come to a calm realization where something you’ve been thinking about just clicks.

Since this conjunction falls in Taurus, the clarity is calm and grounded. You might make a clear and measured decision about money, work, or something tangible. It helps you see things for what they are in a very realistic way. If you have had delays, mixed signals, or second guesses lately, this day can feel like a reset point where things become obvious again.

You will feel this energy most strongly in the area represented by the house ruled by Taurus in your chart. Also, if you have a planet or angle at 23 degrees, this Sun/Mercury conjunction will aspect it directly. Take note of the angle or planet in question, its sign, its house placement and rulership to determine how this energy will affect you.

Pluto Retrograde 2026 in Aquarius Horoscope for All Signs

Pluto retrograde in Aquarius from May 6 to October 15, 2026:  This transit represents a slow, internal shift more than anything obvious happening on the outside. Pluto in Aquarius is already about change in your future, your independence, and your place in groups. When it goes retrograde, you start noticing what feels off. It is less about things happening to you and more about you realizing what is not working anymore.

If Pluto already made an aspect to one of your planets while it was moving direct, the retrograde doesn’t bring something totally new. It goes back over the same ground, but in a more internal, reflective way.

The Astrology of Amanda and West

If you’re a Bravo fan, you have probably heard about the Amanda/West/Ciara ‘scandal’. I was very curious to see the synastry between Amanda and West, as I wanted to see whether this relationship actually has the potential to go the long run. I also previously wrote an article about Scandoval, and was curious to see if there were any similarities between them.

In this article, I will do a brief overview of Amanda and West’s natal, synastry, and composite charts.

I do not have birth times for either person, so my reading and ultimate opinions on their relationship will be solely based on their planetary aspects and therefore incomplete. I’m also going to leave out aspects involving each person’s Moon since their birth times are not available. 

Amanda’s Natal Chart 

Amanda Batula’s Natal Chart

amanda batula natal chart
Amanda Batula’s Natal Chart

Amanda has her Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter in creative and charismatic Leo. She is strongly self-expressive and is motivated by recognition, pride, and making an impact. Leo’s tend to like, and receive, a lot of attention and admiration from others. She might struggle with over-identifying with success and validation, and may struggle with sensitivity to criticism or feeling invisible.

Amanda’s Sun is opposite her Saturn in Aquarius, meaning her inner critic is very strong. While she strongly desires recognition, she might hold herself back if she doesn’t feel ‘good enough.’ Early experiences with strict authority figures may have made her feel she constantly needs to prove herself to others. Her tendency to take herself very seriously can block her confidence.

Her Venus and Mars are conjunct in Virgo, meaning she is attracted to competence, intelligent, and usefulness in others. Virgo is the sign of work and productivity, so it makes sense that she and Kyle, her ex-husband, were in business together.  She is attentive to detail in how she cares for others, and might have a strong abilty to improve or ‘fix’ things in her relationships.

Her love language is ‘acts of service’, and shows her affection through practical support. She might have high expectations from herself and her partners, which can turn into criticism of herself and others. She overanalyzes her relationships to the point she has difficulty relaxing until everything feels ‘perfect’ or safe.

West’s Natal Chart 

west wilson natal chart astrology
West Wilson’s Natal Chart

West has a stellium of Sun, Mercury, and Venus in chatty and curious Gemini. West is a highly social and expressive person who loves communication and variety. He thrives of ideas, mental stimulation, and connection. Adaptable and flexible, he loves going out and meeting new people and exploring new environments. He gets bored easily, so he likes to stay on the go.

In love, he needs mental stimulation, conversation, and variety. He likes witty, interesting, and humorous people. He needs a mental connection with his partner above everything else. Jupiter, the planet of luck and abundance, is opposite his Venus, meaning he has the ability to attract many opportunities in love, but has difficultly focusing on one. He struggles with overpromising, idealizing, and saying yes too easily. He struggles between wanting freedom and connection, creating inconsistencies in his relationships.

Mars in Virgo is square West’s Venus in Gemini, creating a tension between wanting consistency and getting bored easily. While he is attracted to intelligent and witty people, he is also quick to see their flaws. Virgo wants to ‘fix’ things, and Gemini wants freedom and variety, resulting in mixed signals in dating. What he says he wants vs. what he does do not always align.

Like Amanda, West also has a strong connection between his Sun and Saturn, which in his case is a square. This can create a feeling of being judged, misunderstood, or not taken seriously (especially when it comes to expressing his thoughts and ideas). He may have had early experiences of criticism or responsibility that shaped his self-confidence. He may struggle with self-criticism and a need to ‘prove’ himself, which may be tied to early experiences with a strict authority figure (like a father).

Amanda and West Synastry 

 

amanda west synastry
Amanda and West’s Synastry Chart

Main Aspects

West’s Uranus is opposite Amanda’s Sun

This aspect points to an electric and unstable connection where Amanda is both fascinated and unsettled by West’s unique and unpredictable energy. Amanda might feel West is ‘different from anyone else,’ finding his company exciting and exhilirating. At the same time, Amanda might find West unpredictable and hard to depend on, especially over time.  She might feel he brings an ‘on-off’ energy to her life, which feels both fun and unstable.

West’s Neptune is opposite Amanda’s Sun

Neptune is the planet of illusions, dreams, and fantasy, so when it is in opposition to someone else’s Sun, it can create confusion and idealization in a relationship if the couple is not clear about their intentions. Amanda may not see West clearly (or vice-versa), as one or both of them strongly project their fantasies onto each other. On one hand, this can feel very romantic, with one or both partners feeling they have found their dream person.

At the same time, things can also feel unclear and misleading. There may be a tendency to misread each other’s intentions, with one person feeling the relationship is more ‘real’ than the other.  Often, hard Neptune aspects can end in disappointment when one or both partners realize the relationship was not what they thought it was.

Amanda’s Virgo Venus is square West’s Gemini Venus

This aspect represents a tension between each person’s ‘love language.’ Amanda wants someone consistent, helpful, detail-oriented, and who puts in effort. West, on the other hand, wants variety, mental stimulation, and conversation. Amanda might feel West is inconsistent and not serious enough, while West might find amamda too critical and intense.  This can create tension in a relationship, with each person feeling unappreciated and confused.

Amanda’s Virgo Mars is conjunct West’s Virgo Mars

The conjunction between Amanda and West’s Mars placements indicates they operate in a similar way when it comes to taking action and getting things done. They have a very similar work ethic and pace, creating a natural teamwork between them. When working together, they can be very productive because they ‘get’ each other’s approach without much explanation. At the same time, all that Virgo energy can lead to clashes if they become overly critical of one another, or focus too much on what is wrong instead of what is working.

West’s Jupiter is square Amanda’s Venus and Mars

This aspect creates a strong attraction and chemistry, where Amanda looks at West as a source of fun, adventure and excitement. They certainly have a lot of fun together. At the same time, West idealizes Amanda and their relationship, but in the midst of the excitement, might make promises he can’t keep or create unrealistic expectations. He says ‘yes’ very readily, before thinking things through. Above all, Amanda needs consistency and reliability in her relationship, but West might struggle to meet her expectations. She might feel he lacks follow-through, creating tension betwen them.

Amanda’s Mercury is square West’s Pluto 

Amanda and West enjoy deep, intense, and possibly obsessive mental connection. Through conversation, they are able to uncover hidden truths about each other, creating a powerful emotional and psychological understanding. At the same time, they might experience power struggles in communication, with one person (West) trying to dominate or control the narrative. There may be a tendency to overanalyze or read too much into words, leading to difficultly letting things go once discussed. Debates and discussions can become intense or personal quickly

Amanda and West Composite Chart 

The composite chart, known as the ‘relationship chart,’ shows the purpose and direction of the relationship. This one is a doozy…

It certainly shows very strong planetary action with a T-square featuring several planets. Most notably, there is a Uranus/Neptune opposition to a Sun/Mercury/Venus conjunction, all of which are square Jupiter. This points to a relaltionship that is both disruptive, exciting, and unstable (Uranus), but also idealistic, dreamy, but potentially unrealistic (Neptune, Jupiter).

The conjunction between Sun, Mercury and Venus shows that West and Amanda really like each other and share a natural connection. There is easy conversation and attraction here.

However, the opposition from  Uranus, and Neptune is where things can destabilize and make things feel out of sync. Uranus brings an on-off energy, where sudden changes and unpredictability can make it difficult to stabilize the relationship. One or both partners might struggle with consistency and commitment, feeling trapped or smothered by the expectations from the other. These kinds of relationships tend to start very quickly and under bizarre circumstances, and end in a similar way.

Neptune adds idealization and projection. One or both partners might have unrealistic expectations of the relationship, or might see their partner as someone perfect and ideal (even though they are not). There might be confusion about what the relationship actually is and where it is going, often due to mixed signals or even outright lies.  One or both parter might fill in gaps with assumptions about the relationship rather than facts. One or both partners might see the relationship as more special, spiritual or destined that is objectively is. Red flags are ignored and major issues are swept under the rug. Hard Neptune aspects often end in disappointment when reality hits and the couple realizes their relaitonship was not what they believed it to be.

Overall, this composite chart points to a strong attraction that feels exciting, different, and dreamy. Over time, however, it can become an emotional rollercoaster if both partners are not honest and direct with each other. There may be periods of closeness followed by distance and confusion. There is a tendency to see what they want to see, rather than what is.  Awareness and honesty are paramount in this relationship.

So will it last?

Based on the planetary alignment alone, I do not think so. Of course, I cannot be 100% sure without their birth times, but their aspects are telling. The relationship seems like it’s based in fantasy, thrills, and excitement rather than something ‘real’ or stable.

Your May 2026 Horoscope

May starts off intense with the Scorpio full moon on May 1. Emotions run deeper than usual, and anything that’s been simmering under the surface can’t really stay hidden anymore. This is a moment of truth. People are more perceptive, more reactive, and less willing to tolerate anything that feels fake or forced. You may find yourself seeing a situation clearly for the first time, especially in relationships or financial matters.

On May 3, Mercury moves into Taurus and slows things down mentally. After the emotional surge of the full moon, this shift helps you process things in a more grounded, practical way. Decisions become more deliberate. Conversations may feel slower but more meaningful, and there’s a focus on stability, security, and what actually makes sense long term.

Pluto turning retrograde on May 6 shifts the focus inward. Power dynamics, control issues, and long-term transformations become more personal. Instead of external changes, this is about reflecting on what needs to evolve within you. Old patterns, especially around control or fear, may come back up to be reworked.

The new moon in Taurus on May 16 brings a reset. This is a chance to start fresh in a tangible way, especially around money, work, routines, and self-worth. It’s less about big risks and more about building something steady. Small, consistent steps taken now can lead to lasting results.

Things pick up speed again quickly. Mercury enters Gemini on May 17, followed by Mars entering Taurus on May 18. Your mind becomes sharper, faster, and more curious, while your actions remain steady and persistent. There’s a mix here of wanting to explore options while also staying committed to a plan. It’s a good time to gather information but not rush decisions.

Venus enters Cancer on May 19, shifting the emotional tone in relationships. People become more protective, sensitive, and focused on comfort and security. There’s a stronger desire for closeness, loyalty, and emotional safety. Relationships that provide that will feel more valuable, while anything unstable may feel harder to tolerate.

On May 22, the Sun conjunct Uranus in Gemini brings an unexpected shift. This energy is sudden, restless, and unpredictable, especially around communication, plans, or information. Something can change quickly, or you may feel the urge to break out of a routine that’s been limiting you. It’s not necessarily stable energy, but it can bring insight or a new direction if you stay flexible.

The month closes with a Sagittarius full moon on May 31, bringing a sense of release and perspective. After a month focused on emotional depth and practical concerns, this full moon opens things up. It’s about truth, movement, and seeing the bigger picture. You may feel ready to let go of something that’s been holding you back or finally act on something you’ve been thinking about for a while.

Overall, May moves from emotional intensity to grounded rebuilding, then into mental stimulation and finally expansion. It’s a month of processing, resetting, and then stepping forward with a clearer sense of direction.

ARIES

May starts off intense for you with the Scorpio full moon on May 1 hitting your house of shared resources and emotional depth. During this period, something financial, intimate, or psychological reaches a turning point. You might see the truth about a situation involving trust, control, or dependency, and once you see it, you can’t unsee it. It pushes you to detach from anything that feels draining or imbalanced.

On May 3, Mercury moves into Taurus, shifting your focus to money, stability, and self-worth. After the emotional intensity, you’re thinking more practically. You’re looking at what you have, what you’re building, and whether it actually supports you. This is a good time to make grounded financial decisions or rethink how you value your time and energy.

Pluto turning retrograde on May 6 brings a quieter kind of pressure. It’s less about what’s happening around you and more about what’s shifting internally, especially in your social circle or long-term goals. You may start re-evaluating certain friendships, group dynamics, or ambitions. Something about who you align with or what you’re working toward is evolving.

The new moon in Taurus on May 16 gives you a reset around money and security. This is one of the more productive moments of the month for you. You can set new financial goals, start something that builds income, or shift your mindset around self-worth.

Things speed up quickly after that. Mercury enters Gemini on May 17, activating your communication sector, and Mars enters Taurus on May 18, pushing you to take action around finances. You’re thinking faster, speaking more, and possibly juggling more conversations, plans, or ideas. At the same time, you’re more driven to secure your position and follow through on what matters.

Venus moves into Cancer on May 19, bringing your attention to home, family, and emotional comfort. You may want more privacy or feel more sensitive than usual. This can be a good time to reconnect with family or create a space that feels safe and calming.

On May 22, the Sun conjunct Uranus in Gemini shakes things up. News, conversations, or plans can change suddenly. You might say something unexpected, hear something surprising, or feel the urge to break out of a routine. Stay flexible because this energy is unpredictable, but it can also bring a breakthrough or a new idea that shifts your direction.

The month ends with a Sagittarius full moon on May 31, which opens things up for you. After focusing on practical matters and emotional undercurrents, this brings a sense of release and forward movement. You may feel ready to travel, learn something new, or make a decision that expands your world. It’s about seeing the bigger picture again and moving toward something that feels more aligned with your future.

TAURUS

May is a defining month for you, Taurus, and it starts with the Scorpio full moon on May 1 landing directly in your relationship sector. This brings a turning point in a close relationship. Something becomes clear, and it could be about commitment, imbalance, or emotional truth. You’re seeing where things stand with someone, and it may push you to either deepen the connection or create distance. .

On May 3, Mercury enters your sign, putting you back in control of your voice and decisions. You’re thinking more clearly and expressing yourself more directly. People are paying attention to what you say, so this is a good time to speak up, make plans, and move things forward in a practical and stable way.

Pluto turning retrograde on May 6 shifts your focus inward when it comes to your career or long-term direction. You may start questioning what power or success actually means to you. If something feels forced or out of alignment, this is when you begin to rethink it.

The new moon in Taurus on May 16 is your personal reset. This is one of the most important moments of the year for you; it’s a chance to start over, set intentions, and focus on yourself. Whether it’s your identity, appearance, goals, or direction, you have the opportunity to take control and build something that reflects who you are now, not who you were.

Right after that, things start moving quickly: Mercury enters Gemini on May 17, shifting your focus to money, followed by Mars entering Taurus on May 18, giving you a surge of energy and drive. You’re more motivated, more assertive, and ready to take action. This is a powerful time to push forward, but you’ll need to be mindful of impatience or pushing too hard.

Venus, your ruling planet, moves into Cancer on May 19, softening your communication style. Conversations become more emotional, more personal, and more meaningful. You may feel closer to people through what you share and how you connect on a day-to-day level.

On May 22, the Sun conjunct Uranus in Gemini brings an unexpected shift around money or self-worth. Something can change suddenly, whether it’s an opportunity, an expense, or a realization about what you truly value. This energy pushes you to break out of old patterns and think differently about security and income.

The month ends with a Sagittarius full moon on May 31, bringing a deeper emotional or financial situation to a peak. This could involve shared resources, debts, or intimacy. You’re letting go of something that no longer feels sustainable so you can move forward with more freedom.

GEMINI

May starts on a quieter note for you, Gemini, with the Scorpio full moon on May 1 bringing attention to your routines, work, and health. Something in your daily life reaches a point where you can’t ignore it anymore. You may realize a habit isn’t sustainable, or a work situation is taking more out of you than it’s giving. This is about cutting out what drains you and getting honest about what needs to change.

On May 3, Mercury moves into Taurus, and your focus turns inward. You’re less interested in being everywhere at once and more focused on processing things privately. It’s a good time to reflect, observe, and slow your pace mentally before things pick up later in the month.

Pluto turns retrograde on May 6, pushing deeper internal changes around your mindset, beliefs, or future direction. You may start questioning whether the path you’ve been on still feels right. It marks the beginning of a shift in how you see things long term.

The new moon in Taurus on May 16 gives you a reset behind the scenes. You may feel the need to rest, recharge, or step away from external pressure. This is about clearing space mentally and emotionally so you can move forward with more clarity.

Everything shifts after that. Mercury enters Gemini on May 17, and your energy comes back fast. You’re sharper, more expressive, and more engaged with everything around you. Ideas flow easily, conversations pick up, and you feel more like yourself again. Mars entering Taurus on May 18 adds a layer of quiet determination, like you’re working on something in the background while also being more outwardly active.

Venus moves into Cancer on May 19, bringing your attention to money and self-worth. You may start thinking more about what makes you feel secure, both financially and emotionally. There’s a desire to protect what you have and build something that feels stable.

On May 22, the Sun conjunct Uranus in Gemini is a major turning point. This energy is unpredictable and hard to control. You may feel restless, impulsive, or ready to change something about your life or identity. News or opportunities can come out of nowhere, but it can push you in a new direction if you stay flexible.

The month ends with a Sagittarius full moon on May 31, highlighting your relationships. This brings clarity around a partner or close connection. Something reaches a peak, whether that’s a realization, a decision, or a shift in the dynamic. You’ll see where things truly stand at this time.

 

CANCER

This can bring a turning point in your love life or something you’ve been emotionally invested in. Feelings are strong and hard to ignore during this period.

On May 3, Mercury moves into Taurus, shifting your focus to friendships, social life, and long-term goals. You may find yourself having more meaningful conversations with friends or thinking more seriously about your future plans.  You’re looking at who’s actually aligned with you and where your time and energy are best spent.

Pluto turning retrograde on May 6 brings a deeper internal shift around shared resources, intimacy, or emotional vulnerability. This isn’t something everyone sees, but you may start confronting deeper fears or patterns around trust and control.

The new moon in Taurus on May 16 gives you a reset in your social life. You can meet new people, set new goals, or shift your direction when it comes to what you’re working toward. It’s a good time to focus on the bigger picture and surround yourself with people who support that.

Things start moving more quickly after that. Mercury enters Gemini on May 17, bringing your attention inward. You may feel more reflective, needing time to think or process things privately. At the same time, Mars enters Taurus on May 18, pushing you to take action on your goals and be more proactive socially or professionally.

Venus enters your sign on May 19, which is a major shift for you. You become more magnetic, more noticeable, and more in tune with what you want in love and relationships. This can bring attention your way or simply make you feel more confident and comfortable in yourself.

On May 22, the Sun conjunct Uranus in Gemini can bring unexpected realizations or changes behind the scenes. Something hidden may come to light, or you may have a sudden shift in perspective. This is more internal for you, but it can be really eye-opening, too.

The month ends with a Sagittarius full moon on May 31, focusing on your work, routines, and health. Something in your daily life reaches a peak or needs to change. You may realize what’s working and what isn’t when it comes to how you manage your time and energy.

LEO

May starts off intense for you, Leo, with the Scorpio full moon on May 1 hitting your home and family sector. Something personal reaches a turning point. This could involve your living situation, family dynamics, or something emotional you’ve been carrying for a while. You’re seeing things more clearly now, especially when it comes to what feels stable and what doesn’t. There’s a need to let go of something that’s been weighing on you.

On May 3, Mercury moves into Taurus, bringing your focus to your career and public life. You’re thinking more seriously about your goals, your reputation, and where you’re headed.

Uranus in Gemini April 2026

After 7 years, Uranus finally exits Taurus for good (or, at least for the next 84 years) on April 25, 2026 and enters communicative Gemini until 2033. In this article, we will go over what this means on a global scale, and what this mean for each zodiac sign.

Here is what we can expect on a global scale:

Information overload and rapid shifts in thinking: Gemini rules communication, media, and the mind. Uranus here speeds everything up, so, trends, opinions, and narratives change fast. What people believe one day can flip the next. It can feel chaotic, but also mentally stimulating and exciting.

Revolution in technology and communication: Uranus represents innovation while Gemini is communication, so think major changes in AI and how we interact with it, the rise (and potential collapse) of social media platforms, and new forms of communication (beyong texting and apps).

Short attention spans and scattered focus: Gemini energy is already restless, and Uranus amplifies this. As a resut, people may struggle to focus, constantly jumping between ideas, conversations, and platforms.

New ways of learning: During this period, dducation becomes less traditional. People might move away from rigid systems and toward flexible, fast, self-directed learning. This means that unconventional education paths might become dominant.

Travel and movement changes: Gemini rules local travel, transportation, and mobility. You can expect some innovation in how people move, especially short-distance travel and logistics.

Changes to the world map: Uranus represents neighbors. On a global scale, this represents neighboring countries. According to the brilliant astrologer Jessica Adams, the world map will be redrawn and borders will change.

Change is coming. But how will Uranus in Gemini affect you on a personal level? Find your sign below to find out.

ARIES

With an Aries rising, Uranus in Taurus moving through your 2nd house likely felt unstable in a very real, physical way. Money, income, and your sense of security probably weren’t consistent, and you may have gone through sudden changes in how you earn or what you value. It’s the kind of transit that forces you to detach from needing things to feel stable all the time.

When Uranus in Gemini moves into your 3rd house, the pressure shifts out of your finances and into your mind. Life speeds up mentally. Your thoughts, routines, and daily interactions become more unpredictable. You might find yourself thinking differently, speaking more impulsively, or changing your opinions quickly. There can also be a restlessness where you want constant stimulation, new information, or different environments.

Your communication style can change a lot during this time. You may say things more bluntly or unexpectedly, or feel the urge to express ideas you wouldn’t have before. There’s also a strong chance of changes in your immediate environment, like moves, shifts with siblings, or changes in your day-to-day routine.

TAURUS

For a Taurus rising, Uranus in Taurus moving through your 1st house was a very personal shake-up. It tends to change how you see yourself and how other people see you. You might have acted more impulsively, made sudden changes to your appearance or direction in life, or just felt unlike your usual steady self. This was the kind of transit that pushes you to break out of who you’ve always been, whether you were ready or not.

When Uranus in Gemini moves into your 2nd house, the focus shifts away from your identity and into your money and sense of security. Finances can become unpredictable, with sudden gains, losses, or changes in how you earn income. You might move toward less traditional ways of making money or feel less willing to stay in anything that feels limiting or repetitive. This can also represent job changes, or finding more innovative ways of making money.

Uranus through the 2nd house also changes your values. What you used to care about or rely on might not feel as important anymore, and you may start prioritizing freedom over stability. Overall, it’s a move from “who am I becoming” to “what do I actually need, and how do I support myself,” but in a way that doesn’t follow a straight or stable path.

GEMINI

For a Gemini rising, Uranus in Taurus moving through your 12th house was more internal than surface-level. It can bring a kind of background anxiety or restlessness you can’t fully explain, like something is shifting underneath your life but you can’t quite see it yet. Old patterns, fears, or habits may have been disrupted, and you may have felt the need to pull back, isolate more, or process things privately.

When Uranus in Gemini moves into your 1st house, everything becomes more visible. This transit is a major personal reset for you. You start changing how you present yourself, how you act, and the direction your life is going in. There’s a stronger urge to break out of expectations and do things your own way, even if it surprises people. You might come across as more unpredictable or independent, and you may feel less willing to stick with anything that feels limiting.

CANCER

For a Cancer rising, Uranus in Taurus moving through your 11th house likely shook up your social world in ways you didn’t expect. Friendships may have come and gone suddenly, or you found yourself drifting away from groups you used to feel aligned with. Your long-term goals could have changed too, especially if they were tied to other people or a certain dream for the future. It’s the kind of transit that makes you realize not everyone is meant to stay, and not every plan is meant to last forever.

When Uranus in Gemini moves into your 12th house, the energy of the planet turns inward. Things get quieter on the outside, but more active underneath. You may feel more withdrawn or need more time alone without really knowing why. Your mind can feel busy, especially at night, and there can be a sense that something is shifting behind the scenes before it fully shows up in your life.

This isn’t a loud or obvious transit. It’s more about clearing things out internally, breaking old mental patterns, and letting go of things you’ve outgrown on a deeper level. It can feel a bit isolating at times, but it’s preparing you for a bigger personal shift when Uranus eventually moves into your 1st house.

LEO

For a Leo rising, Uranus in Taurus moving through your 10th house likely brought instability or sudden changes in your career, reputation, or life direction. You may have felt pulled to break away from a path that looked stable on the outside but didn’t feel right anymore. There could have been unexpected shifts with jobs, authority figures, or your public image, forcing you to rethink what success actually means to you.

When Uranus in Gemini moves into your 11th house, the focus shifts away from your personal career path and into your social world and future plans. Friendships can change quickly during this time. You might meet new, unconventional people or drift away from groups that no longer fit who you’re becoming. Your goals for the future can also shift suddenly, especially if they were based on old expectations.

This is a more social and outward transit, but it’s still unpredictable. It pushes you to connect with people who are different from your usual circle and to think bigger or differently about where your life is going.

VIRGO

For a Virgo rising, Uranus in Taurus moving through your 9th house likely changed the way you see the world. Your beliefs, opinions, or long-term direction may have shifted in ways you didn’t expect. You might have questioned things you used to be certain about, or felt pulled toward different ideas, studies, or experiences that opened your mind. Travel, education, or big-picture plans may not have gone the way you thought, but they pushed you to think differently.

When Uranus in Gemini moves into your 10th house, the focus becomes much more visible. Changes start happening in your career, reputation, and overall direction in life. You may feel the urge to break away from a traditional path or do something completely different work-wise. Things can shift quickly here, whether it’s a sudden opportunity, a change in roles, or realizing you don’t want what you once worked toward.

LIBRA

For a Libra rising, Uranus in Taurus moving through your 8th house likely felt intense and unpredictable on a deeper level. This is where shared finances, debt, intimacy, and emotional vulnerability get shaken up in unexpected ways. You may have gone through sudden changes involving money tied to other people, or experienced shifts in trust, control, or closeness in relationships. You may have started therapy, leading to unexpected insights and psychological revelations. It’s not a light transit, it pushes you to face things you can’t ignore and let go of what feels too heavy or complicated.

When Uranus in Gemini moves into your 9th house, the energy opens up. It’s less about emotional intensity and more about expanding your mind. Your beliefs, opinions, and outlook on life can change quickly. You might feel pulled toward new ideas, different cultures, or experiences that take you out of your usual environment. Travel, education, or long-term plans may shift in unexpected ways.

This is a noticeable shift from being pulled inward into deep, complicated situations to wanting freedom, space, and a completely different perspective on life.

SCORPIO

For a Scorpio rising, Uranus in Taurus moving through your 7th house likely brought instability and surprises into your relationships. People may have come into your life suddenly or left just as quickly, and partnerships may not have followed a predictable path. You might have been drawn to more unconventional or unpredictable people, or felt less willing to stay in anything that felt limiting. It’s a transit that changes how you approach commitment and what you’re willing to tolerate in a partner. Some of you might have gotten married during this transit, and this partnership might have changed your life in ways you never imagined.

When Uranus in Gemini moves into your 8th house, the focus shifts deeper. Instead of external relationship changes, it becomes more about what’s happening underneath them. This can bring sudden changes around shared finances, debts, or money tied to other people, but also emotional intensity and vulnerability. You may start to approach intimacy differently, wanting more honesty and less control, or breaking away from patterns that feel too heavy or consuming. This is an excellent time to begin therapy, as it can help you discover things about yourself you had never considered before.

SAGITTARIUS

For a Sagittarius rising, Uranus in Taurus moving through your 6th house likely made daily life feel unpredictable. Work routines, health habits, or job situations may have shifted suddenly, or you may have felt restless with repetitive schedules.

I am a Sagittarius, and in the early part of this transit, I quit my job for a better-paying one. The new job turned out to be very unpredictable and unstable, and I was eventually laid off a few years later in 2023. Since then, I have had difficulty finding stable employment, but I have also enjoyed having more freedom in my schedule.

In addition, my health has suffered greatly during this transit. Before this transit began, my health routines were very unhealthy and unsustainable and needed to change.  When Uranus entered my 6th house, my routines changed radically, leading to many changes to my body, my relationship with food, and my mental health/anxiety levels. In some ways, it has been liberating, but in other ways, it has been debilitating.

When Uranus in Gemini moves into your 7th house, Sagitttarius, the focus shifts directly into relationships. One-on-one partnerships become unpredictable. New people may enter your life suddenly, or existing relationships may go through changes that force you to rethink commitment and balance. You might attract more unusual or independent partners, or feel less willing to stay in dynamics that feel restrictive. Some of you might get married or into serious relaitonships during this period, and your new partner will change your life in unexpected ways.

CAPRICORN

For a Capricorn rising, Uranus in Taurus moving through your 5th house likely shook up romance, creativity, and your sense of joy. Love situations may have been unpredictable with people coming in and out suddenly, or relationships feeling exciting but unstable. Your creative expression could have changed too, pushing you to experiment or break away from what you usually do. Even your relationship with pleasure, dating, or hobbies may have felt less consistent than before.

When Uranus in Gemini moves into your 6th house, the focus shifts into daily life, work, and health. Your routines don’t stay steady for long, and work situations can change quickly in the form of new jobs, sudden shifts in responsibilities, or a need to completely restructure how you manage your time. You may also feel more restless with repetitive routines and want more freedom in how you work. Health wise, you might go through a revolution, leading to big changes in terms of how you eat, exercise, and generally take care of your body.

AQUARIUS

For an Aquarius rising, Uranus in Taurus moving through your 4th house likely brought instability or unexpected changes in your home life, family dynamics, or sense of emotional grounding. You may have moved, changed living situations suddenly, or experienced shifts in family relationships that made your foundation feel less predictable than usual. It’s the kind of transit that pushes you to redefine what your idea of “home” actually means.

When Uranus in Gemini moves into your 5th house, the focus shifts into romance, creativity, and self-expression. This can bring sudden changes in dating life, with new connections appearing quickly, or existing ones changing direction without warning. Creativity also becomes more experimental and unpredictable, with bursts of inspiration and a stronger urge to express yourself in unconventional ways.

PISCES

For a Pisces rising, Uranus in Taurus moving through your 3rd house likely disrupted your day-to-day thinking, communication, and immediate environment. You may have experienced sudden changes in your routine, frequent shifts in plans, or a restless mental state where it was hard to stay focused on one thing for too long. Relationships with siblings, neighbours, or people you see regularly could have also changed in unexpected ways.

When Uranus in Gemini moves into your 4th house, the focus shifts inward toward home, family, and emotional security. This can bring changes in living situations, such as moving, renovations, or an unstable home environment. Family dynamics may shift in ways that feel sudden or hard to control, and your sense of emotional grounding can feel less fixed than before.

The April 17 2026 New Moon

This New Moon is heavy Aries energy, with multiple planets packed into the sign, so things are moving fast and feeling intense. There’s a push for action, change, and honesty, but it can also feel impatient, reactive, and overwhelming at times. Whatever house Aries falls in your chart is where things are being lit up and stirred, and it’s likely you can’t ignore it.

Chiron is part of this, which brings old insecurities to the surface, especially around confidence and how you show up. At the same time, Saturn and Neptune are mixing in discipline and confusion, so it can feel like you’re trying to get clear on something while also not fully knowing what the answer is yet. Mars adds heat, urgency, and a tendency to act first and think later.

Overall, this is a turning point moment in that something is being activated, confronted, or initiated, though it’s not necessarily smooth or comfortable. The key is not to rush blindly, but also not to ignore what’s clearly pushing for change.

How will this New Moon affect you? Find your sign below to learn more…

ARIES

This New Moon is all about you: not in a surface-level way, but in a very real, personal sense. Something about how you see yourself is shifting. You might realize that the version of you you’ve been operating as lately doesn’t feel right anymore. There’s a strong urge to change something, such as your appearance, your behavior, or the direction you’re heading in, and it’s hard to ignore.

With so many planets in Aries, everything feels heightened for you. You’re quicker to react, more impatient, and more likely to act on impulse. It can feel like something needs to happen right NOW. You might want to start something, end something, or finally say what’s been on your mind. Just be careful not to let a moment of emotion make the decision for you.

Chiron brings up the uncomfortable part as old insecurities can come to the surface, especially around confidence or how you think you come across to other people. It might catch you off guard, but it’s showing you something important. You can’t move forward the same way if that’s still sitting underneath everything.

Saturn and Neptune make things feel a bit off. Part of you wants to get serious and figure things out, and another part of you feels unsure or unclear about what you’re even aiming for. One day feels focused, the next doesn’t. Don’t force clarity if it’s not there yet.

TAURUS

For Taurus, this New Moon falls in your 12th house, so it’s a lot quieter on the outside, but heavier on the inside. You might feel more withdrawn than usual, like you need space from people or from everything going on around you. It’s not really a social time. You’re more in your head, thinking, processing, noticing things you normally push aside.

With so many planets here, it can feel like a buildup of emotions you haven’t fully dealt with. Old memories, patterns, or habits can come up, especially ones you thought you were over. It’s less about something new starting, and more about something needing to end or be released. You might realize you’ve been holding onto something that’s been draining you, even if you didn’t fully see it before.

Chiron adds a layer of sensitivity. There can be moments where you feel more vulnerable, or where something hits a nerve emotionally. It might not even be obvious why at first. But it’s connected to something deeper that hasn’t been fully processed. Ignoring it won’t work as well right now.

Saturn and Neptune make this feel a bit confusing. You might feel the need to get a handle on things internally, but at the same time feel foggy, tired, or unsure. Your energy might be lower, or your motivation might come and go. That’s part of it. This isn’t a push-forward kind of moment, it’s more of a step-back.

Mars being here can stir things up internally too. Even if you’re not acting outwardly, there’s tension underneath. You might feel restless but not know where to put that energy. Try not to bottle it up completely, but also don’t force action just to relieve the feeling.

This is more of a clearing-out phase than a beginning. Something is wrapping up, even if it’s not visible yet. The more honest you are with yourself about what’s no longer working, the easier it’ll be to move forward when things pick up again.

GEMINI

For Gemini, this New Moon lands in your 11th house, so it’s tied to your social life, friendships, and the bigger picture of where you’re heading. Something is shifting in how you connect with people. You might start to see certain friendships differently, or realize you don’t relate to the same groups in the same way anymore. It’s less about one-on-one relationships and more about your place within a wider circle.

With so many planets here, this area of your life feels busy but also a bit overwhelming. There can be a lot going on socially, or a lot of thoughts about who you want around you and who you don’t. You might feel pulled to meet new people or put yourself out there more, but at the same time feel irritated or drained by certain dynamics. Not everyone is going to feel aligned right now, and that’s becoming more obvious.

Chiron brings up sensitivity around belonging. You might notice moments where you feel out of place, overlooked, or disconnected, even if you’re technically surrounded by people. It can hit a nerve, especially if it ties back to older experiences of not feeling fully accepted. But it’s also showing you what kind of connections actually matter to you.

Saturn and Neptune make things feel unclear. You might be questioning your long-term goals or where you’re even headed. Something you thought you wanted might not feel as solid anymore, or you might feel unsure about your direction altogether. At the same time, there’s pressure to figure it out, which can feel frustrating when the answer isn’t obvious.

Mars adds tension to your social life. There can be irritation with friends, or a shorter fuse when it comes to group dynamics. You might be quicker to distance yourself or speak your mind. Just be aware of reacting too quickly and cutting something off that might just need a conversation.

This is a reset around who you surround yourself with and where you’re going. Some connections may fall away, others may start to form, but the main thing is that you’re getting clearer on what actually feels right for you moving forward.

CANCER

For Cancer, this New Moon hits your 10th house, so it’s centered on your career, reputation, and how you’re seen by others. Something is shifting in your public life. You might start thinking seriously about your direction, your goals, or whether what you’re doing right now actually reflects who you are. There’s a sense that you can’t stay where you are without questioning it.

With so many planets here, this part of your life feels intense. Work, responsibilities, or pressure around your future can feel heightened. You might feel like eyes are on you, or like you need to step up in some way. At the same time, it can feel overwhelming, like everything is happening at once and you’re trying to keep up.

Chiron brings up insecurities around success and recognition. You might question whether you’re good enough, or feel more sensitive to how others perceive you. Even small things, like feedback or lack of acknowledgment, can hit harder than usual. But it’s pointing to something deeper about your confidence and how much you tie your worth to what you achieve.

Saturn and Neptune make things feel uncertain. Part of you wants structure, direction, and something solid to work toward. Another part of you isn’t sure if you’re even on the right path. You might feel pressure to figure out your next move, but also feel unclear about what that should be. That push-pull can feel frustrating.

Mars adds urgency. You might feel like you need to take action now, whether that’s making a career move, setting a boundary at work, or going after something you’ve been thinking about. Just be careful not to act purely out of stress or pressure. Not everything needs to be decided in one moment.

This is a turning point around your direction and how you show up in the world. You’re starting to see what isn’t working anymore, even if you’re not fully sure what the replacement is yet.

LEO

For Leo, this New Moon lands in your 9th house, so it’s about your beliefs, your mindset, and the direction you feel your life is heading in. Something is shifting in how you see things. You might start questioning ideas, plans, or perspectives you’ve held onto for a long time. It’s less about what’s happening right in front of you and more about the bigger picture.

With so many planets here, there’s a strong urge to expand, but it can feel restless at the same time. You might want something different, a change of scenery, a new direction, or just a break from what feels repetitive. Travel, learning, or new experiences can feel especially appealing, but there’s also a sense of impatience, like you want movement but aren’t fully sure where you’re going yet.

Chiron brings up discomfort around feeling sure of yourself. You might question your beliefs or feel unsure about what you really stand for. Something could challenge your perspective, and it might hit a nerve more than expected. It’s not just about being right or wrong, it’s about realizing where your thinking has been shaped by past experiences that don’t fully apply anymore.

Saturn and Neptune make things feel a bit unclear. You might feel pressure to figure out your direction or commit to something long-term, but at the same time feel unsure about what that even is. One day you feel inspired and open, the next you feel lost or disconnected. That back-and-forth is part of the process right now.

Mars adds urgency to act on what you’re feeling. You might want to make a bold move, book something, start something new, or say yes to an opportunity just to get things moving. That can be good, but just make sure you’re not acting out of frustration or boredom.

VIRGO

For Virgo, this New Moon lands in your 8th house, so things get deeper, more private, and more emotionally intense. This isn’t a light or surface-level transit. It brings up themes around trust, attachment, shared money, and emotional entanglements. Something is shifting in how close you let people get to you, or how much you’re willing to rely on someone else.

With so many planets here, emotions can feel amplified. You might notice old fears, insecurities, or control issues coming up. Things you usually keep tucked away are harder to ignore. This can also show up around money or shared resources, where something needs to be addressed or adjusted. It’s a “deal with it properly or it builds pressure” kind of energy.

Chiron brings sensitivity around vulnerability. You might feel exposed in a way that’s uncomfortable, especially in situations where you normally try to stay composed or in control. It can bring up old patterns around trust, loss, or emotional safety. But it’s showing you where you’ve been protecting yourself too much or holding on too tightly.

Saturn and Neptune make things more complicated. Saturn wants clarity, control, and boundaries. Neptune dissolves clarity and makes things feel uncertain or hard to define. So you might feel pulled between wanting answers and not really getting them yet. That can be frustrating, especially in emotional or financial situations that feel unclear.

Mars adds intensity. Emotions can spike quickly, especially around trust, jealousy, or feeling emotionally triggered by someone. If something feels off, it’s harder to ignore right now, but the reaction might be stronger than usual too. It’s important not to act purely from a place of emotion without stepping back first.

This is a reset around emotional depth and attachment. Something is being confronted so it doesn’t stay buried under the surface anymore.

LIBRA

For Libra, this New Moon falls in your 7th house, so relationships are front and center. This is a turning point for one-on-one connections like romantic relationships, business partnerships, and even situations where someone plays a major role in your life. Something is shifting in how you relate to others, and what you expect from them in return.

With so many planets here, relationships can feel intense and a bit all-consuming. Things may move quickly, or feel like they’re building pressure. You could meet someone new, redefine an existing relationship, or finally see a situation for what it really is. There’s a sense that you can’t keep things vague or half-defined anymore.

Chiron brings up old relationship wounds. You might feel more sensitive to rejection, inconsistency, or imbalance. Patterns from the past can come back into focus, especially around giving too much or not feeling met halfway. It can sting a bit, but it’s showing you what needs to change in how you relate.

Saturn and Neptune add confusion and reality checks at the same time. One part of you wants clarity, commitment, and something stable. Another part might feel unsure about where things are going or whether someone is really showing up in the way you need. It can feel like you’re trying to define something that keeps shifting.

Mars adds heat to relationships. Attraction can be strong, but so can conflict. There can be frustration, impatience, or arguments that come up more easily than usual. Chemistry is high, but so is sensitivity, so things can swing quickly between connection and tension.

This is a reset in how you approach relationships. Something about how you connect with others is changing, and you’re being pushed to be more honest about what works for you and what doesn’t.

SCORPIO

For Scorpio, this New Moon falls in your 6th house, so it’s about your day-to-day life, work, routines, health, and what you deal with on a regular basis. Something is shifting in how you’re managing your time and energy. You might feel like your current routine isn’t really working anymore, or that something in your everyday life needs to change.

With so many planets here, things can feel busy or overwhelming in a low-key way. It’s not necessarily dramatic, but it can feel like there’s a lot to handle at once. Work stress, responsibilities, or just the mental load of daily life can feel heavier than usual. You might also become more aware of habits that aren’t helping you anymore.

Chiron brings attention to stress and burnout patterns. You might notice where you’ve been pushing through too much or ignoring what your body actually needs. Small issues can feel more noticeable now, especially if you’ve been running on autopilot. It’s a reminder that your daily life needs to support you, not drain you.

Saturn and Neptune make things feel a bit unclear. You might be trying to get more organized or disciplined, but struggling with focus or consistency. Some days feel productive, others feel scattered. It can be frustrating, but it’s also showing you where your current systems aren’t realistic anymore.

Mars adds pressure in your work and routine. You might feel more impatient with tasks, coworkers, or obligations. There’s a push to get things done, but also a tendency to get irritated if things aren’t moving fast enough. Watch burnout or pushing yourself too hard just to keep up.

This is a reset around your daily life. It’s less about big external changes and more about fixing what’s not sustainable in your routine so you don’t keep running yourself down.

SAGITTARIUS

For Sagittarius, this New Moon lands in your 5th house, so it’s about love, dating, creativity, joy, and anything that makes you feel more like yourself again. Something is shifting in what actually feels fun or worth your energy. You might feel more open to romance, creative inspiration, or just doing things for the sake of enjoyment instead of responsibility.

With so many planets here, everything in this area gets turned up. There can be new romantic sparks, stronger attraction energy, or a sudden urge to express yourself more freely and confidently. At the same time, it can feel a bit impulsive or uncertain, like you want excitement but you’re still figuring out what’s actually good for you long-term.

Chiron brings up sensitivity around being seen or chosen. You might feel more emotionally exposed in love or creative situations, like you care more than usual about how you’re received. Old wounds around rejection, not being enough, or not being picked can surface, but it’s showing you where you’ve been holding yourself back from fully going after what you want.

Saturn and Neptune make things more complicated emotionally. One part of you wants something real, stable, or meaningful in love or creative direction, while another part feels unsure, idealistic, or even confused about what that looks like. You can swing between inspiration and doubt, or between wanting commitment and wanting freedom.

Mars adds heat and urgency. Attraction can be strong and fast-moving, and you might act more impulsively in dating or creative decisions. It’s exciting, but it can also move quickly, so pacing matters.

This house also rules children, so this New Moon can bring attention to themes around kids, fertility, parenting, or your relationship with children in general. For some, it can mark new developments in that area or a shift in how you feel about it. Even if it’s not literal, it can show up as a “new beginning” energy connected to something you’re nurturing or bringing into form.

CAPRICORN

For Capricorn, this New Moon lands in your 4th house, so it’s all about home, family, emotional foundations, and your private life. Something is shifting in your base level of security. You might feel like you need a change at home, in your living situation, or in how you handle your emotional world.

With so many planets here, things can feel a bit heavy or emotionally charged. Old family patterns or memories can come up, or you might become more aware of what’s been draining you in your personal life. There can be a strong urge to pull back from the outside world and focus more on yourself and your inner stability.

Chiron brings up sensitivity around family or emotional safety. Things from the past can resurface, especially anything tied to feeling unsupported, misunderstood, or emotionally unsettled. It might feel uncomfortable, but it’s showing you where you need to create more security for yourself now instead of relying on old dynamics.

Saturn and Neptune make things feel mixed. Saturn wants structure and control in your home life or emotional world, while Neptune can blur boundaries or bring uncertainty. You might feel like you’re trying to figure out what “home” even means to you right now, or where you actually feel safe and grounded. It can feel a bit unclear until things settle.

Mars adds tension at home or in your private life. There can be irritability with family, roommates, or people you live with, or just a stronger need to assert yourself in your personal space. It’s important to avoid letting small things turn into bigger emotional reactions.

This is a reset around your foundations. Something in your emotional or home life is shifting so you can feel more stable in a way that actually supports who you are now, not who you used to be.

AQUARIUS 

For Aquarius, this New Moon lands in your 3rd house, so it’s all about your mind, communication, daily interactions, and how you’re processing information. Something is shifting in how you think and how you express yourself. You might feel like you need to speak up more, change how you communicate, or start thinking about things in a completely different way.

With so many planets here, your mind can feel really active. There can be a lot of thoughts, conversations, messages, or decisions coming up all at once. It can feel busy mentally, like you’re trying to keep up with everything. You might also feel more direct than usual in how you say things, or more impatient with slow communication.

Chiron brings up sensitivity around being heard. You might notice moments where you feel misunderstood, ignored, or like people aren’t getting what you’re trying to say. Old patterns in communication can come up, especially if you’ve held back in the past or felt dismissed. It’s showing you where you need to be more honest and clear.

Saturn and Neptune add some confusion and pressure at the same time. You might feel like you need to figure something out mentally or make sense of a situation, but things don’t feel fully clear yet. One moment you feel logical and grounded, the next you feel uncertain or scattered. Try not to force answers too quickly.

Mars adds heat to communication. Words can come out faster and sharper than intended, and conversations can escalate quickly if you’re not careful. There can also be more motivation to speak your mind or confront something directly. Just watch for reacting too fast in the moment.

PISCES

For Pisces, this New Moon falls in your 2nd house, so it’s about money, stability, self-worth, and what you value. Something is shifting in how you handle your finances or how you feel about your own value. You might start thinking differently about what you need to feel secure, or realize that your current situation doesn’t reflect what you actually deserve.

With so many planets here, money and stability can feel like a big focus right now. There could be changes in income, spending habits, or how you approach earning in general. It can also feel a bit pressured, like you need to get more serious about your financial life or make decisions around what’s sustainable.

Chiron brings up sensitivity around worth. You might notice old feelings around not being enough, not having enough, or tying your value too closely to money or external validation. It can feel uncomfortable, but it’s showing you where your relationship with self-worth needs attention and care.

Saturn and Neptune together make this especially important for Pisces. Saturn wants structure, discipline, and long-term stability with money, while Neptune can blur boundaries or make things feel uncertain. So you might feel pulled between wanting control and feeling like things are unclear or fluctuating. The key is not to avoid reality, but also not to panic if everything isn’t fully defined yet.

Mars adds urgency around finances and decisions. You might feel more driven to make money, change how you earn, or take action on something practical. Just be careful not to make impulsive financial decisions in the moment.

Mercury retrograde in Pisces 2026

Time to buckle up (again!). Mercury retrograde in Pisces begins on February 26, 2026, and lasts until March 20, 2026.

When Mercury turned retrograde in Pisces, communication may feel fuzzy, emotions can be heightened, and misunderstandings are way more likely. It might be difficult to get full clarity around a particular situation, so it is best to wait until after the retrograde is over to make any big moves.

Plans may get delayed and your technology can get glichy, so double checking details and being patient is important during this cycle. The focus is on intuition, creativity, and reviewing areas of life that need clarity or reassessment.

The Virgo Lunar Eclipse on March 3 2026

This lunar eclipse in Virgo on March 3rd, 2026 brings a rather positive energy, especially compared to the previous solar eclipse. Virgo is about small details, health, work, routines, and the parts of life that quietly hold everything together. Eclipses bring endings, revelations, and turning points to the house/planets it touches.

This eclipse is sextile Jupiter, which softens its energy. Jupiter brings growth, opportunity, perspective, and sometimes relief, so instead of chaoes, this eclipse can bring options and positivity to whatever is revealed during the eclipse.
