The Courage to Speak, the Strength to Soften

The Frequency of the Week is to… integrate, ground, and express what’s real.
This week begins with Mercury sextiling Jupiter on May 5, which offers momentum behind our ideas, and even bigger potential when we express them with honesty. But this clarity is not without depth…
Pluto stationing retrograde in Aquarius on May 4, combined with Mercury conjuncting Chiron on May 6, invites us to speak from the core of where we feel hurt by life. Venus in Aries sextiling the retrograded Pluto, also on May 6, adds emotional depth to our desires.
Then, on May 10, Mercury enters Taurus and, a couple days later on May 12, it squares Pluto, which slows the pace of things, inviting us to consider whether we’re standing on solid ground, or whether we’re living and taking action from a place of defensiveness and fear.
Theme of the Week: Truth becomes medicine when spoken from the heart, rather than armoured defense.
The Energetic Forecast
In Love: Desires may intensify, but clarity comes through soft honesty. It’s important to speak our needs honestly, and also remember to stay rooted in love as our north star and intention.
In Friendships: Old wounds may rise. If they do, we are invited to meet them with compassion. Some conversations need to happen, and it doesn’t mean that things are falling apart.
In Finances: This is a good week to review plans and name goals. What once felt unclear may now root into something sustainable.
Spiritually: Emotional patterns surface for reflection. Healing isn’t linear, but this week offers insight to shift the story we’ve been hiding behind.
Signs Most Impacted This Week:
Aries, Taurus, Aquarius, Gemini, and Capricorn (Sun, Moon, Rising) are being challenged to merge expression with embodiment. What is said now is echoed into the future unfolding.
Weekly Journal Prompts:
- What truth have I been holding back out of fear it won’t be received the way I want it to be?
- Where (and in what intention) do I need to ground my voice, not just raise it?
