๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅโœจ AstroDoodle โ€“ Thursday, May 8th

The truth isnโ€™t quiet today โ€” itโ€™s relational. Raw. A little messy. But strangely elegant, like a perfectly timed emotional outburst on a designer couch.

๐ŸŒโš–๏ธ Moon in Libra opposes Neptune + Venus in Aries, and trines Pluto in Aquarius ๐ŸŒ€๐Ÿ’‹

My morning started exactly how a Moon in Libra wants it to: husband quietly slips out of bed early to beat the queue at the doctorsโ€” hoping for a prescription strong enough to silence his stubborn sinus infection, leaving behind a perfect crater of warmth. Softly snoring cat nestled in. Electric blanket humming gently. Guided breathwork playing from YouTube that I was mostly just snoozing through anyway, splayed out like a damn starfish claiming the entire bed. This is peak comfort. This is balance. This is... nice.

Then the phone buzzes. A message. Doctor heard something "ominous" through the stethoscope. Lung scan. Radiology.

JOLT.

A scolding reality espresso poured right over my luxurious ritual. The gentle Libra Moon peace? Shattered. My brain, naturally, immediately leaps from "sinus infection" to "obviously lung cancer." Because of course it does. And then, just as my tender heart starts to feel a pang for my potentially ailing partner... my next thought screams: "Oh god. If he has to quit smoking, my life is ruined."

THAT, my friends, is today's astrology in a nutshell.

Your Moon in Libra desperately craves peace, beauty, and equilibrium. It wants everything to be pleasant, fair, and aesthetically pleasing. It wants the starfish moment in the warm bed. But then the Opposition to Neptune and Venus in Aries hits.

Neptune in Aries is a fog of idealized desires, potentially wishful thinking, or just pure chaotic confusion that blasts right through your comfortable boundaries. Venus in Aries is your own raw, perhaps selfish, desires and values clashing head-on with your need for harmony. Ding ding ding. That's the glorious, rude, selfish clash right there.

Your brain, your ego (always can count on those fuckers) merrily distrupting peace with dramatic, worst-case scenario illusions & dellusions.

You want things to be smooth and lovely, but reality, other people's needs, or your own inconvenient truths keep barging in.

But don't despair, you magnificent mess. Because the Moon in Libra is also trine Pluto in Aquarius. While you're navigating the fog and the selfish impulses, Pluto gives you the x-ray vision (hello, radiology!) to see the deeper truth. This is the energy that lets you cut through the illusions, confront the uncomfortable parts (like your own horrifyingly selfish thought), and find genuine power in authenticity and transformation. Itโ€™s intense, yeah, but itโ€™s real. It helps you see the actual stakes, past the pretty surface.

Expect your own desires or biases to get in the way of clear judgment. And yes, maybe catch your own shockingly selfish thoughts and examine them with Pluto's depth. Itโ€™s messy, itโ€™s confusing, but thereโ€™s potential for profound insight if you dare to look.

โœจ So whatโ€™s today good for?

๐Ÿ”Catching your own messy, ego-driven thoughts and not immediately judging yourself for them.
โš–๏ธ Looking at your own projections before you pin them on someone else
๐Ÿ’Œ Telling the truth about what you really want from others
๐ŸŽจ Creating something beautiful that has a dark edge to it.
๐ŸŒŠ Letting go of needing things to be "perfectly balanced" and embracing the messy truth.


โœจThereโ€™s a longing for beauty, clarity, affection โ€” but thereโ€™s also frustration when you canโ€™t control how others give it.

You might project a little. Misread a message. Feel weirdly tender about something small.

Thatโ€™s okay. Let it open you instead of hardening you.

โ€œSay what you mean. Then say what you felt underneath it.โ€
๐Ÿฆ‹ Be tender. Be fierce. Be weirdly romantic. ๐Ÿฆ‹

Huge thanks for reading this far. Appreciate your eyeballs. So, uh, quick heads-up: online oracle just predicted my untimely demise for today. So, please, spread the love (and this post) like it's my weird, possibly final, message to the universe.

Aries Sun & Rising

Okay Aries, that Moon in Libra is currently camped out in your 7th house of partnerships, relationships, and trying to get along with people. You're feeling the pull towards peace, wanting things to be fair, maybe even trying to be charming (I know, I know, bear with it). But hold up. Neptune and Venus are both in your 1st house, squaring off with that Libra Moon. Your need for balance (7th) is getting totally bulldozed by your own identity, desires, and maybe a healthy dose of self-absorption (1st). You want harmony, but your own Aries need to be yourself and get what you want is causing static. Things with others might feel confusing (Neptune) or clash directly with your personal values (Venus). On the flip side, Pluto in Aquarius is trining that Moon from your 11th house of community and future visions. Deep, transformative connections or insights from your network (11th) can actually bring power and authenticity to your relationships (7th), cutting through the confusion.

Today's gig is trying to play nice without losing yourself, navigating confusing social vibes, and finding genuine connection through the mess.

  • Mind your mirrors: How are you impacting your relationships? Are you being... a bit much?
  • See through the fog: If something feels off with someone, trust that gut feeling, don't just idealize it.
  • Want what you want: Acknowledge your own desires, but maybe figure out how to voice them without starting a war.
  • Lean on your crew: Your friends or community might offer crucial, deep insights.
  • Transform together: Genuine connection comes from facing truths, not avoiding conflict.

Balance the "us" with the "me," and don't get lost in the haze.

Taurus Sun & Rising

Alright Taurus, the Moon in Libra is chilling in your 6th house of daily routines, work, and well-being. You're craving a sense of calm in your everyday life, wanting your tasks to flow smoothly, maybe even making your workspace look a bit nicer. But across the sky, Neptune and Venus are in your 12th house of the subconscious, hidden stuff, and self-undoing, opposing that Moon. Your attempt at daily peace and order (6th) is getting weirdly sabotaged or confused by things you're not facing (12th). Are you idealizing your workload? Avoiding a crucial health check? Letting hidden anxieties mess up your routine? Probably. Your desires (Venus) or illusions (Neptune) from the shadows are messing with your ability to function smoothly. However, Pluto in Aquarius is trining that Moon from your 10th house of career and public image. Deep, transformative work on your foundations or public role (10th) can bring powerful, authentic order to your daily life and well-being (6th).

Today's gig is bringing some peace to your hustle, confronting hidden stuff that's derailing you, and using your work or public life as a source of grounding power.

  • Clean out the closet (literally or metaphorically): Deal with the hidden junk messing up your flow.
  • Stop idealizing the grind: See your daily tasks for what they are, not what you wish they were.
  • Listen to your body: Don't ignore those subtle signals; the 12th house can hide things.
  • Power up your purpose: Channel intense energy into your career or public goals, it helps ground you.
  • Transform your routine: Make deep, lasting changes to your daily habits that support your well-being.

Face the hidden, fix the routine, let your purpose ground you.

Your desire for fun and self-expression (5th) is getting tangled up in group dynamics, friendships, or collective visions that feel confusing (Neptune) or clash with what you personally want (Venus).

But Neptune and Venus are in your 9th house of big ideas, travel, philosophy, and higher learning, opposing that Moon.

You're wanting financial equilibrium, seeking pleasant possessions, and finding worth in harmony and beauty. But opposing that, Neptune and Venus are in your 8th house of shared resources, intimacy, transformation, and facing shadows. Your desire for personal financial peace (2nd) is getting tangled up in confusion (Neptune) or conflict (Venus) related to shared money, debts, intimacy, or deep psychological stuff.

Libra Sun & Rising

Listen up Libra, the Moon is in YOUR sign today, highlighting your 1st house of identity, self, and how you show up. You are radiating that Libra need for balance, peace, and charm โ€“ wanting to present yourself harmoniously. But right across from you, Neptune and Venus are in your 7th house of partnerships and relationships. Your focus on self and harmony (1st) is getting confused (Neptune) or challenged (Venus) by the people in your life. Are you idealizing a partner? Are your desires (Venus in Aries, wanting what it wants) clashing with the needs of others? Is it hard to see yourself clearly because you're projecting onto others? This opposition pulls you between focusing on yourself and focusing on relationships, making both feel messy. However, Pluto in Aquarius is trining that Moon from your 5th house of creativity, romance, and joy. Deep, transformative creative expression or pursuing genuine joy (5th) can bring powerful authenticity and stability to your sense of self (1st).

  • Create intensely: Pour transformative energy into creative projects or things that bring you deep joy.
  • Power in play: Authentic self-expression and play can reveal your true identity.

Define your self, navigate the relationship maze, let creativity empower you.

But down in your daily life, Neptune and Venus are in your 6th house of work, health, and routine, opposing that Moon. Your need for inner peace (12th) is getting confused (Neptune) or challenged (Venus) by your daily tasks, health issues, or work environment. Is your job draining your energy?
