You
Who are the source of all power,
Whose rays illuminate the world,
Illuminate also my heart
So that it too can do Your work.

Daily Horoscope
May 13, 2026
Wednesday- Mercury Day
* All times are Atlantic Standard Time
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Today:​​​​​​​​​
​​​​
We are in the Dark Moon phase now. This is an ideal time for deep inner work, healing, cleaning, energy clearing, and protection work! We need all of the extra protection and prayers that we can get! Due to the intense energy we have building at the end of the week, this Dark Moon is extra intense! Dark Moons can be a time of self-undoing, often called the "devil days." Just being aware of the energetic potential helps us navigate it more effectively. Mental health crisis, psychological disturbances, extreme depression, and vengeance are hallmarks of this time. Lie low, practice impeccable spiritual hygiene, and avoid shady characters/energy vampires!
The Moon continues through Aries today. The Moon was busy early this morning, then goes quiet until its conjunction with Saturn this afternoon. Today is ideal for getting lots of work accomplished! Remain in your integrity and practice emotional discipline.
​
We had a beautiful Mercury-Jupiter sextile early this morning! We will continue to feel this energy for most of the day. It's a great time for making plans, having important conversations, and practicing good self-care and nurturing yourself and others.
​
We are building up to the Mercury-Sun Cazimi tomorrow morning! Mercury is being "burnt" and "purified" by the rays of the Sun, soon to be reborn with the Cazimi. Communication can be strained today. Speak clearly and strive to listen and comprehend what others are saying! Cazimis are sacred times when planets are "in the Heart of the Sun." The Sun(King) reconnects with the planet in the Cazimi, whispers his wishes, purifies the planet, and resets the planetary connection with us. This marks the halfway point of Mercury's Direct cycle.
​
It's an extremely intense week! The beginning of the week is astrologically mellow, but we feel the intensity building all week long! Wednesday-Sunday, things pick up significantly! It's a Sun-Mercury Cazimi week, so communications are strained, and we are more likely to misunderstand/mishear others. Maybe we can only see things from our perspective. Strive to understand what others are saying! This Cazimi sets the tone for the Taurus New Moon on Saturday, where we have the Sun, Moon, and Mercury all conjunct, sitting on the Fixed Star Algol!
​
We are also building up to an extremely intense New Moon, conjunct the Fixed star Algol in Taurus on Saturday. Saturday is the most intense day of the week. We also have Mars conjunct CHiron in Aries! This is a heavy activation of a deep wound. It can also be a healing opportunity, but it depends on how we use it! On the world scale, this energy is massive and can lead to the violent attack, removal, or wounding of leaders! This energy can cause some to "lose their heads, metaphorically and unfortunately literally, eek!
​
Both Mercury in Taurus and Mars in Aries are wrapping up in their respective signs. This intensifies their expression!​
​
The Moon is in Aries; the Moon in Aries is active, direct, spontaneous, initiating, self-assertive, energetic, naive, "me first," ardent, and a leader.
The Moon is answering to Mars in Aries. Mars is preparing for a conjunction to Chiron, so this Aries Moon can be triggering for some people. Focus on healing and restoration. ​
​
Mercury in Taurus sextiles Jupiter in Cancer at 12:44 am; our dreams are bringing through some important messages now. This aspect supports deep healing, rejuvenation, and restoration. Important information is coming to us tonight. Keep your dream journal close by! This aspect invites us to focus on our home/family and values.
​
Moon in Aries conjuncts Neptune in Aries at 2:21 am; this is a spiritual warrior energy. Are we fighting battles on other timelines? Forge your light weapons and prepare for battle! Our dreams, intuition, and inspirations are sending us powerful messages. Pay close attention!
​
Moon in Aries sextiles Pluto in Aquarius at 5:35 am; we are receiving information or messages from across galaxies and timelines. We could be receiving glimpses of the future. Move with passion and inspiration.
​
Moon in Aries conjuncts Saturn in Aries at 2:10 pm; this is a tense reality check. It's time for some emotional discipline, accountability, and dedication to the task at hand. Authority figures are doubling down. This is a karmic checkpoint and potentially a harsh course correction. Bad behavior is being called out. This is a great time for putting in the hard work to achieve our dreams and goals.

​
​​​​​​​​​​​This Week:​​​
​
05/11-05/17
​
It's a Mercury-Sun Cazimi week! This means that communication is strained all week long! ​
The week is off to a mellow start, but things get extremely busy and intense over the weekend! We have several significant conjunctions, including the Mercury-Sun Cazimi, Mars-Chiron, a powerful Taurus New Moon conjunct Mercury, then Mercury entering Gemini, followed closely by a Mercury-Uranus conjunction!
​
We have a lovely Mercury-Jupiter sextile early Wednesday morning! This supports good decision-making; we are prioritizing our values, stability, and family. This is a fertile growth-oriented aspect.
We enter the Dark Moon phase on Wednesday. Dark Moons are a time to clear, cleanse, and release the month's energy. This is a great time for protection work, energy clearing, and cleaning out clutter. Protect your energy during this time, get more rest, and avoid unsavory people. This is a time when energy vampires, psychic attacks, and demonic possessions or attachments are more prevalent. There has been an uptick in this attack energy recently. Double down on prayer and protection work. Sure up your boundaries, and ask your Guardian Angels to watch over you, your loved ones, and planet Earth!
​
We have the Sun-Mercury Cazimi on Thursday morning! We are at the halfway point of Mercury's Direct cycle! When planets are Cazimi, they are being "burnt" and "purified" by the rays of the Sun, in preparation to be reborn in the Heart of the Sun. During this sacred conjunction, the Sun is whispering its secrets and intentions to Mercury, for Mercury to deliver to the other planets. The build-up to the conjunction is always intense. When the Sun and Mercury are building up to their conjunction, everyone thinks that they are right, that their perspective is correct. They can not see or hear what the other is saying. Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign, so this can show up as stubbornness and refusing to give in. This can create tensions on a global scale. Slow down, and try to be open and hear what others are trying to communicate to you! It could be in your best interest! This Cazimi helps to bring the Taurus part of our charts back to life, after Uranus in Taurus. Till the soil and plant seeds in the Taurus part of your chart. This Cazimi is intimately involved with the New Moon on Saturday, so pay attention to what comes up now. We will be working with this over the next month(lunar cycle)
​
We have an extremely powerful, intense, volatile New Moon in Taurus on Saturday afternoon! This New Moon is conjunct with the Fixed Star Algol. This is the Fixed Star of violence, misfortune, losing one's head, suffocation, fires, artistry, music, throat ailments, and neck injuries. It is called the Star of Beheadings, linked to the Medusa story. Algol sits at 26* 22' of Taurus. The Taurus New Moon is at 25*58', so this is a close conjunction! EEK! Algol is associated with alcohol and the entities that can take us over when we open ourselves to alcohol's influence. Avoid alcohol this weekend, or even better, all week long, or best of all, forever! The Sun, Mercury, and the Moon are all sitting together during this New Moon. Important information and messages are coming to light and being revealed for our learning, growth, development, and understanding. Venus in Gemini is ruling over this New Moon, so this offers us support and a different perspective on any situations that we are navigating! Algol isn't all bad. To understand Algol, we need to understand Medusa's story. Medusa was a priestess in Athena's temple. Athens is a Warrior Goddess, and the Goddess of fairness, justice, and truth. She is often depicted with a sword, blindfolded with a scale. Madusa was raped by Neptune in Athens's sacred temple. Athena walked in and misunderstood the situation, thinking that they were making love, desecrating her temple, and cursed Medusa, turning her into the Gorgon that no man would desire, turning them to stone if they dared to look into her eyes. Athena had the great warrior Perseus put her out of her suffering and bring Medusa's head to Athena, to remind her of the dangers of prejudging a situation without knowing the entire story! On Athena's shield, she has a picture of Medusa's head as a constant reminder of the consequences of our actions and their impact on others.
Also on Saturday, just before the New Moon, we have a Mars-Chiron conjunction in Aries. The final one that we will have for the next 51 years, in Aries! Mars has met Chiron every 2 years since Chiron entered Aries in 2019. Mars is the ruler of Aries, so this is a big culmination of Chiron's lessons and journey through Aries. Mars is strong at home, and in the final degrees of Aries, which intensifies and heightens his powers and expression! The archetype of the Wounded Masculine, Wounded Warrior, Shamans, and healers are being highlighted now! Mars is helping to cauterize an old wound. This is always painful, but necessary for healing! We can use this energy positively to cut free from bad habits, addictions, relationships, or connections that are no longer serving us! Use candles or bonfires for healing and burning away old, outmoded ways of being. Dance to drumming, play music, and fire gaze. Whatever helps to reignite your inner spark! Chiron pushes forward on his healing path, helping others, despite his own inner wound. We heal ourselves when we serve and heal others.
On the flip side, this energy can show up as victimization, aggression, vengeance, and extreme depression. This aspect can signify suicide, violent attacks, assassinations of males and leaders, rage, and accidents. Please be extra careful during this time, especially for head/neck injuries. It's a volatile day. Health issues could pop up, such as migraines and headaches, which are also more likely. Be gentle with yourself and others. Remember, Mad is just Sad's bodyguard!
This is an ideal time for the Spiritual Warrior to come forward.
​
Mercury enters Gemini early Sunday morning! Mercury is thrilled to be in its home sign of Gemini, where Mercury is away from the Cazimi energy and that volatile New Moon! Mercury is in its element now and ready to get busy chatting, learning, and communicating with others!
As soon as Mercury enters Gemini, we are preparing for its conjunction with Uranus in Gemini, which we get tonight! This is the 1st Mercury-Uranus conjunction in Gemini for 85 years! Last year, when Uranus was in Gemini, it didn't meet Mercury! It is said that Uranus is the Higher Octave of Mercury! They love working together, but this can also lead to mental overstimulation and exhaustion! This conjunction brings massive upgrades in our approach to travel, technology, and communication! This conjunction officially sets off Uranus in Gemini. We have just been getting acquainted before, now it's on! Expand your mind, this is a quantum leap for humanity! Mercury and Uranus meet on Sunday night.
​
Venus sextiles Chiron Sunday afternoon. This is a nourishing, healing aspect for Chiron after its tense meet-up with Mars! Venus brings Chiron some peppermint-rose tea, and they enjoy a sweet chat. Venus offers Chiron some good advice and company while Chiron regroups.

Daily Oracle

Wednesday

Eagle- Spirit- REVERSED
Eagle says you have forgotten your power and your connection to the Great Spirit. You may have failed to recognize the light that is always available for those who seek illumination. Heal your broken wings with love. Loving yourself as you are loved by the Great Spirit is the lesson that the contrary Eagle brings.
On some level, Eagle is telling you to seek a higher ground on which to build your nest. The nest is the home of the heart and cannot remain in a swamp. If your nest is in a swamp, this may be connected to your belief that your wings are clipped by an impossibility in your present status.
Eagle's nest is high in the mountains, where the air is clean, and the movement is free. It may be time for a Vision Quest so that you can commune with the Great Spirit. Fasting and praying will surely bring an answer. Seek lofty ideals, and illumination will be close at hand.
​
​

Year of the Yang Fire Horse!
​
Fire Horse years are extremely fast-moving, so buckle up! The last time that we had a Fire Horse year was 1966! The Fire Horse is bold, independent, passionate, strong-willed, and rebellious! Live with passion! Let your light shine!
​
 Bedroom Feng Shui
I love the look of plants in the bedroom, but did you know that it is said that plants in the bedroom drain your energy? Humans are considered to be an Earth element. Plants are the Wood element. In the 5 Element theory, Wood drains Earth energy. As always, do what is best for you! Take a look at your energy levels; if you have plants, pictures of flowers, or even plant patterns on your bedsheets, maybe begin trading them out.
Bedrooms do best with neutral colors, earthy colors.
