Libra Moon Say No More No Rocking the Boat

You can feel it before you can explain it: the air gets tighter, the headlines get louder, and even small disagreements start to feel like a showdown. That’s the mood we track through today’s astrology forecast as Mars square Pluto takes center stage, an intense alignment linked with pressure, confrontation, and the kind of power dynamics that spill from the world stage into everyday life. We talk plainly about why this aspect often shows up alongside major conflict, and what it asks from us when emotions run hot. 

Then we bring it home. Mars in Taurus wants comfort and enjoyment, while Pluto in Aquarius demands change and refuses to wait. That friction can show up as guilt for resting, restlessness during peace, or the sense that you should be doing more even when your body says “slow down.” We unpack how to stay on guard without living in fear, how to tell the difference between recovery and avoidance, and why a simple moment of pleasure can be a smart strategy when it stabilizes your nervous system. 

From there, Pluto takes us into mundane astrology: the machinery of politics, money, media consolidation, oligarchs, technocrats, and the uneasy question of whose voice actually gets heard. We don’t just vent, we look for leverage. Moon in Libra offers a short-term assist for diplomacy and self-control, and we reframe the bigger arc with Jupiter as the lead planet until June 9, pointing toward growth, opportunity, and “more,” grounded in security and well-being. We also connect the Sun in Gemini to learning technology, streamlining your workflow, and executing with fewer steps and better results.

Tension Builds As The Day Starts

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hey everybody, Shane here, and it's astrology time, right? So let's get right into it. Today is Tuesday and it is the 26th of May. So we had a light, nice long weekend, right? Now we've got oh a little bit of a situation here, right? You could feel it's a little bit of tension building, and you know, it just builds slightly. If you don't pay much attention to it, then you don't really see it. But you know, if you look around the world and look at the news and everything like that, yeah, you can see tension building.

Mars Square Pluto And World Conflict

SPEAKER_00 0:28

And this we begin the day today with m uh Mars Square Pluto. This is a very, very difficult placement, and especially on the world stage. Back in um in uh October 8th of 9th of uh 2023, uh this is when the uh Palestinians started to did their all-out attack on Israel from Gaza, and that started this whole Gaza situation. So, yeah, this is this can be very difficult. It's and it happened right on the day of that. It was literal, right? It's a combustive combination that is frequently accompanied by notable acts of war and violence on the world stage. Kind of icky sounding,

Personal Guardrails And Taurus Comfort

SPEAKER_00 1:05

right? Now, personally, we need to be on our guard, right? Because this same energy can can manifest itself a little bit for us, right? But we have um Mars and Taurus, and that Taurus energy is really about enjoying things, right? Sitting down and having that ice cream, taking the time, right? Just taking the time to make sure that you enjoy what it is that you're doing to the fullest. Um, right, because who with it squaring Pluto in Aquarius, what we're really looking at is that dissolution of the old ways that were in Capricorn that's not happening fast enough. Pluto is very frustrated by this, and Pluto is like, Mars, do something. And Mars is like, hey, man, the flowers are out, and it's springtime. Didn't you know that? We had a rainy weekend, it was finally sunny, just in the afternoon. This is to be enjoyed. Ah, a little too close to home, right? So, what a that's where the conflict is, right? That that enjoyment versus doing something, right? What do we gotta do? What do we gotta do? Look,

Oligarchs Media And The Missing Heroes

SPEAKER_00 2:10

personally, you know, uh there are so many things that are wrong about the world and everything like that, but nobody's saying anything. And even if they did, would their voices be heard? Do you know whose voice is heard? I can tell you. Look at the elections in Britain, look at what's going on over there, look at what uh look at what is happening there. Now, oligarchs, they're the ones that are being heard. That's because they've gamed the system. They now have the same rights as individuals, but their organizations can throw a lot of m a lot more money than individuals can into various things and cause those results to be skewed. Okay? Now, they can pay for that privilege. They've been, you know, they bought and paid for that privilege. The oligarchs did. Corporations and business entities can contribute as much as they want to keep the system skewed in their favor. And I mean, even the Pope's onto this, right? Talking about AI and stuff in the news today or yesterday, right? The trend seems to be increasing the power of the oligarchs and the technocrats at the expense of guess who? The people. Now up to Pluto to turn that upside down, right? Sad, but so it seems. Now, can the moon in Libra balance this out for the short term, right now, right? Now, is there someone who's bold enough to call for an end to these shenanigans? Hmm? Well, today's keyword is going to be Pluto because that's where we're really thinking about, right? So, look, the color is a pastel teal. Uh Libra just loves those pastels, right? The Gemini season is now beginning to make us nervous. Because there's so many things that are happening, right? The number of excuses and lies that hold together this the fabric of governance are multiplying and growing unchecked, right? It's just a lie upon lie. Everything, right? Just layers of it. The consolidation of news sources combined with an unwillingness to report actual news is also enabling this to happen at an unprecedented scale, right? There's nobody questioning what's going on. Where are the budding entrepreneurs who will build new outlets? Who's got the stomach for it, really, right? Where are we going to get this vital information from? Perhaps what is missing is humility and a sense of shame. But there's nothing to see here. Nothing yet. The sun tried Pluto indicates that there are ideas that can begin to be used, but alas, we are left with no heroes. Everyone is looking to be paid. The agitators, you know, the ones in the past, such as WikiLeaks, I love WikiLeaks, and various hacker groups have all either been paid off or grown or have been given new sets of instructions. What else could possibly be, right? Does this sound plausible? Yeah. Ask yourself, where'd they all go? Right?

Moon In Libra Jupiter Leads Next

SPEAKER_00 5:07

Now, our saving grace today may be the moon and Libra. She will help us hold our tongues and hopefully keep the peace. Now I know lunar aspects are at best fleeting, but we need to let this let this uh power power up Mercury, okay? Jupiter. Jupiter will be our lead planet until June the 9th, okay? That is when Venus will overtake Jupiter. So now we need to see this from this the point of view where the lead planet is Jupiter. And what's Jupiter want? More. So, more. That's what we want. The moon and Libra, that can help us harmonize our personal energies. Help us see how vital our personal situation is, and how it is time to consider expanding our endeavors, Jupiter in the lead, in ways that will bring us more growth and opportunity. All right, now think about your sense of security and well-being. Jupiter in Cancer, right? Now bring technology into the mix. We have to learn it. The sun in Gemini will quickly read Pluto's intentions for a faster dissolution, more power, and change for the sake of change. By streamlining our final output to accomplish our goals in fewer steps, we demonstrate mastery over the challenges that are facing us. And all you got to do is line up the solutions.

Today In History And Stevie Nicks

SPEAKER_00 6:34

All right, so in 1922, Vladimir Lenin, that guy from the Soviet Union, right, suffers a severe stroke that leaves him partially paralyzed and severely limits his ability to lead the Soviet government. That's on this date in 1922. And our birth is Stevie Nicks. Happy birthday, Stevie. 78 years old. She's born in 1948 on this date. And she's a rock singer, if you didn't know that, a songwriter. She was with Fleetwood Mac. What are some of her songs? Rihanna and Landslide. She also has solist solo stuff with Belladonna and the edge of 17. She's born in Phoenix, Arizona, and that is all I have for you. Happy birthday, Stevie, and ha uh, you know,

Recap Keyword Pluto And Color

SPEAKER_00 7:20

hey everybody. Let's recap, shall we? Today's keyword is Pluto, because we're keeping our eye on Pluto. Because every time Pluto's and if you notice, every time that Pluto shows up is when I have to get on these larger um overviews of the uh the world systems, you know, political systems and stuff like that. That's why it's mundane astrology. It's not mundane because it's ordinary, it's mundane because the Latin word for the Latin word for the world is mundo. So it's mundial. So it's mundane. That's where the moon that's where mundane comes from. And our color is a pastel til. Thank you so much for joining me. I appreciate and love every single one of you. Today is a four. Happy astro counting.
