Pisces — Wednesday 6 May 2026

You imagine today will involve someone finally appreciating your depth. What actually happens is that you spend twenty minutes at the counter unable to order, because everything on the menu "has a story" and you're quietly grieving the one that got away — the soup, probably — before eventually requesting something off-menu that doesn't exist. The *Moon in Capricorn* is doing you no favours. It wants decisions. Timelines. A concrete answer. You are made of fog and subtext, and this is a structural problem. **Mercury square Pluto** — tight, almost to the minute — means any conversation about a bill, a booking, or who had the oat milk will become psychologically loaded in ways nobody was prepared for. You'll be fine. The barista will not. **Mars square Jupiter** is the other thing. You'll eat more than you meant to, justify it with an elaborate internal narrative about self-nourishment, and believe every word of it, which is almost impressive. May, as a whole, has considerably more going on than a Wednesday coffee order. The monthly reading has what you need — though I suspect you'd rather not know.
