Libra — Tuesday 26 May 2026

Stop rewriting the shopping list. You've been moving "oat milk" and "good bread" around for twenty minutes, and it's not going to become a budget. *Venus in Cancer* wants you to spend on people — specifically, on feeding someone, on making a corner of the world feel soft and looked-after. You'll tell yourself you're being practical. You will then spend £11 on a fancy jar of something because the label had nice typography. Meanwhile, *Mars square Pluto* is grinding away at your finances like a slow puncture, and you keep choosing not to look at the tyre. You think today is about small, sensible choices. It isn't. It's about the six small, sensible choices you made yesterday. At 9pm, you'll be sitting with the jar open, regretting nothing, planning another list.
