Institute of Astrology
The week of May 10–16, 2026 carries a grounded but deeply meaningful astrological tone. It is a week of practical optimism, emotional repair and new beginnings, especially for those born in the third decan of their zodiac sign.
On May 11, the Sun in Taurus forms a sextile with Jupiter in Cancer, opening the door to growth, support, generosity and practical opportunities. On May 14, the Sun meets Mercury in Taurus, helping us think clearly, make grounded decisions and speak with more maturity. Finally, on May 16, the New Moon in Taurus begins a new cycle around money, values, stability and self-worth, while the Mars–Chiron conjunction in Aries activates deeper themes of courage, identity, anger and healing.
For the most accurate reading, read both your Sun sign and your Rising sign. If you know your decan, go directly to it. If not, use the birth dates below as an approximate guide.
