While this week won’t promise a complete overhaul of negativity, there will be times here and there for some of us where we just wish it all STOP.
Not the kind of week we thought we would have, considering it was the second week of May and all, and isn’t May supposed to be the best month ever?
Well, keep that in mind, because a lot of what makes this week difficult for many of us is a matter of perception: is it really that bad, or are we making it worse? This is the main question of the week. Does it have to be that bad, or can we alter our mental space so we don’t fall into the abyss of despair?
Hard thinking is what we get when we come to understand that the planets are the obstacle here. We have the Moon opposite Saturn to begin with, which takes us through the Moon opposite Mars, the Moon opposite Neptune, and the Moon opposite Venus.
There is a lot of opposition, and believe me, we are going to feel it. And then there’s the big deal: Mercury in retrograde, sliding around town on May 10, just to remind us who’s boss here.
And if we’ve learned anything, we’ve learned that Mercury retrograde doesn’t just happen, it glides over it, which means it’s essentially on the path to retrograde action as the week begins.
So we will feel that drag, that pull. We laugh when our computers freeze and our bills don’t arrive on time for the due date.
Mercury in retrograde is the topic of this week, whether you like it or not. And while it still affects us all, some signs truly have the “privilege” of feeling it even more deeply.
Here is what awaits you for the three zodiac signs with approximate horoscopes for the week of May 9 to May 15, 2022:
1. Gemini
(May 21 – June 20)
When the planets are in opposition to the Moon, Geminis everywhere feel torn and confused. When you’re on your game, there’s absolutely nothing to stop you; you’re a mean machine and productivity is your thing, of course, until Mercury retrograde takes over and thwarts all your efforts.
It seems especially unfair – and it is – because you’ve put in such stellar efforts at work these days, and you really deserve to see your results shine in the light.
Alas, the light will be snatched from you during the week and you may see someone else getting all the credit for your hard work. What a blow! So unfair. The upside: The downgrade only lasts a few more weeks, so hang in there and decide you’ll be fine.
2. Libra
(September 23 – October 22)
You are like Mercury’s barometer retrograde because you are always the first person to mention that this transit is upon us, confusing our minds among other things. And this week not only highlights the drag and pull of this event, it also comes with the opposition of Moon Venus, which hits you right in the feels.
This means that during the week, the person you truly love and adore will start an argument with you, over something they find important, which just happens to be something you don’t care about.
And because your ego is on fire this week, thanks to opposition Moon Mars, you will make the mistake of putting this person down.
You tend to do it, Libra, and this week you will do it a lot; you think if you’re right, it’s your way or the highway, and you’ll fully protect your opinion while making sure anyone who disagrees with you pays the price. Even if it’s someone you love and adore. “I’m right, that’s it.”

3. Pisces
(February 19 – March 10)
What will attract your goat this week is the opposition of the Moon to Neptune, which will take all your brilliant ideas and plans and let you know that nothing you intend to do will work.
It’s like an umbrella of rejection opening over your head and not letting in the sun. There is too much lunar energy hitting you from all sides, and the only thing that would make this week worse would be a visit from retrograde Mercury.
Oh wait, that too. That happens. A truly frustrating week for Pisces is in store, and while we all know it’s not going to last, the degrading feeling of the week is one we’ll have to overcome in the weeks ahead.
What’s happening during this week is the kind of thing you’ll want to hide, because it’s both embarrassing and a sign of your own weakness. Mercury the Jerk lasts until June 2, that’s only two to three weeks away, right?
