Podcast Episode: Blue Moon Astrology And Market Tension

Pip: Stars, shadows, and a Blue Moon that apparently has opinions about politics — welcome to the cosmos, where the sky is never just decorating.

Mara: Tara Greene of taratarot.com has been tracking a genuinely loaded stretch of sky, from a heavy Mars-Pluto square carrying war and market warnings, to a rare Blue Moon in Sagittarius lighting up truth and faith. Let’s start with that Blue Moon.

Blue Moon Sagittarius

Pip: A Blue Moon in Sagittarius sounds festive until you look closer — this full moon is carrying what the post calls suspicious stellar alignments, which is not the phrase you want attached to anything full and bright overhead.

Mara: The post flags it directly: “There are so many suspicious stellar alignments on this full moon.” A ten-minute video breakdown accompanies it, walking through exactly what those alignments mean and why this particular full moon warrants closer attention.

Pip: Sagittarius rules truth, travel, and big philosophical questions — so a full moon there with unusual stellar company is at minimum asking you to pay attention to the bigger picture.

Mara: And the weekly astrology post fills in the picture: the Blue Moon sits conjunct Archangel Star Uriel and the fixed star Antares, the so-called rival of Mars. The focus lands on politics, higher education, immigrants, and new laws — optimistic energy, but pointed.

Pip: Heavy company for an upbeat moon. Speaking of heavy — the week leading into it was a different story.

Mars Square Pluto

Mara: The week’s real weight lands on May 25th and 26th, when Mars in Taurus forms a square with retrograde Pluto. The post is direct about the stakes.

Pip: The warning reads: “This is a heavy duty aspect with Mars in Taurus it could be a killer in the stock market, some new invention changes everything, war signature. Be careful. Pluto is Rx — old unresolved anger and shadow issues come up to be cleared.”

Mara: That retrograde detail matters. Pluto retrograde means the pressure isn’t new — it’s accumulated. Unresolved anger doesn’t announce itself; it surfaces sideways.

Pip: The day after, though, the sky shifts register entirely.

Mara: Sun trine Pluto on May 26th is described as light and dark working together — positive energy for brilliant ideas, networking, and bringing hidden power abuses into the open. Same planet, opposite mood.

Pip: Pluto: terrifying Tuesday, productive Wednesday.

Mara: Then Venus square Saturn on May 28th adds emotional friction — Venus in Cancer running warm, Saturn applying the brakes. The post describes serious emotional and family tension, and women setting boundaries around patriarchal structures. Mercury sextile Chiron closes the week on a quieter note, a thinking-cap moment for healing internal divisions and improving how we communicate.

Mara: The full picture is a week that moves from confrontation to illumination to boundary-setting — not a smooth arc, but a purposeful one.

Pip: Shadow work, boundary-setting, a moon with suspicious friends — the sky this week was not subtle.

Mara: Next time, we’ll see what June’s astrology brings. The cosmos rarely leaves things unfinished.
