Scorpio — Thursday 7 May 2026

*"Justified the £94 face cream because I technically need my face."* The *Moon in Capricorn* is making you feel grimly responsible, which you've interpreted as permission to be fiscally reckless in a responsible-feeling way. Capricorn energy has a spreadsheet energy, yes, but you're using it to *audit* your past spending so you can explain it rather than stop. The *Sun and Mercury both sitting in Taurus* are making you covetous in that slow, sensory way — not impulsive, just very, very certain that this particular thing is necessary. Taurus doesn't panic-buy. Taurus researches for three weeks and then buys the expensive version. **Mars square Jupiter** is the one I'd worry about. Mars in Aries wants it now, Jupiter in Cancer inflates every want into a need with emotional justification attached — *I deserve this, I've been through a lot, this candle costs £47 and it's for my wellbeing.* Scorpio doesn't overspend frivolously. You overspend *philosophically.* There's a difference, apparently. There's nothing in this sky that will stop you. You'll be fine.
