Weekly Horoscope: May 25, 2026 to May 31, 2026—Sensitive and Sensual
Our final week of May has arrived—and I do hope that you love it. In truth, we have more challenging cosmic energies to attend to, as opposed to the sweeter ones we felt in April and early May. Note that Mercury retrograde begins a month from now, so you may want to try tying up plans personally or professionally as soon as possible. Also, May is a month with two full moons—so the blue moon arrives this week, too.
The Energy Profile Of This Week
Most months, we have a single full moon and a single new moon. This is pretty standard and what we are used to. However, due to the timing of the lunar cycle, sometimes we have a rare month with two full moons in it. This month is one of those! The full moon in Sagittarius appears on May 31, which will be called a blue moon. This isn’t because the moon will actually look blue, but because it just symbolizes the arrival of the second full moon in a month. With it igniting the fiery heavens of Sagittarius, we may feel more eager for adventure. We may hunger to step outside of our comfort zones and experience more of what life has to offer. This lunation reaches its peak on May 31, but can be felt a few days before and after.
As for cosmic weather, beware the entire week that surrounds May 26, as Mars, planet of war, clashes in a square with Pluto, planet of destruction and death. This often brings forth competitors, enemies, victimization, and extremely dark energies and moods. Lie low. To mitigate this, though, the sun links pleasantly with Pluto on this day, encouraging us to seize the day—but in truth, I think it’s better to tread lightly. May 28 will bring challenges or bad news around beauty, relationships, or profit due to Venus and her square with Saturn. Above and beyond, it’s best to lie low at this time.
