The new week (May 4–10, 2026) is expected to bring both favorable opportunities and periods when it is better not to rush decisions. On some days, even routine matters may not go as planned, and risks may increase for no obvious reason, according to astrologer Kateryna Soloviova, who shared her weekly forecast.
May 4
“This is an unfavorable period for starting new projects, making important decisions, undergoing surgical and dental procedures, and visiting hair salons,” the astrologer warned.
The day may be unfavorable for those working in law, jurisprudence, foreign policy, education, commerce, science, and related fields (language, international relations, cooperation, etc.).
“Female intuition increases. You should not argue with women — it disrupts cosmic laws. It is a good day to clean your home,” Soloviova noted.
From 4:40 a.m. May 4 to 12:31 a.m. May 5, Venus — the planet of harmony, beauty, finance, creativity, art, talent, and partnership — will be in a critical degree in Gemini.
“In Gemini, this degree symbolizes deception, intrigue, theft, cunning, betrayal, slander, and deceit. Do not rely on those who are untrustworthy, and be careful when choosing friends. Do not indulge in risky ventures, regardless of who initiates them,” the expert said.

“This is an unfavorable period for starting new projects, making important decisions, surgical and dental procedures, visiting hair salons, long-distance travel, expensive purchases, and contract signings,” the astrologer explained.
She advises avoiding new activities related to job changes, car or appliance purchases or repairs, long trips, overtime work, or first-time use of weapons.
“Reality will reflect your inner state. Everything said about you will be true. Summarize results, finish ongoing tasks, and repay debts. Avoid alcohol and smoking,” she added.
From 12:33 a.m. to 10:06 p.m. May 5, the Moon will be void of course. This is considered similar to retrograde Mercury.
“When the Moon is void of course, normal processes are disrupted, wrong decisions are made, actions bring no results, and confusion and illusions arise,” Soloviova explained.
May 6
“This is an unfavorable period for new beginnings and important decisions, medical procedures, and hair salons. Avoid gossip and misinformation, and be careful not to lose personal belongings. There is a risk of deception and fraud,” the expert warned.
Do not sign marriage contracts, make deals, lend or borrow money. Be cautious with new ideas and acquaintances.
“Reflect on who influences your negative thoughts and cut ties with such people. Detoxification is beneficial. Avoid sexual practices,” she said.
May 7
“Except for the periods before 10:28 a.m. and from 12:27 p.m. to 5:18 p.m. — this is an unfavorable time for new beginnings, important decisions, surgeries, dental procedures, hair salons, and expensive purchases,” Soloviova advised.
During this day, she does not recommend starting new activities related to business, law, travel, education, science, or international matters.
From 10:28 a.m. to 12:27 p.m. May 7, the Moon will be in a critical degree in Capricorn.
“In Capricorn, this degree brings pessimism, emotional breakdown, loss of goals, reduced independence, overconfidence, physical strength, persistence, and endurance,” the expert explained.
From 5:18 p.m. May 7 to 12:00 a.m. May 8, the Moon will be void of course, so it is not recommended to make purchases, ask for help, or make life changes.
May 8
“This is an unfavorable period for new projects, decisions, surgeries, dental procedures, and hair salons. Avoid starting activities involving large financial payments, marriage, business registration, expensive purchases, loans, or image changes,” the astrologer said.
It is a favorable day for politicians, reformers, entertainers, and producers. Useful activities include walks in nature, physical exercise, water treatments, fasting, and restraint.
From 11:50 a.m. May 8 to 7:22 p.m. May 9, Mars will be in a critical degree in Aries.
“In Aries, this degree brings enemies, setbacks, traps, envy, hypocrisy, aggression, malice, revenge, weak willpower, losses, and bad influences,” Soloviova warned.
May 9
“This is an unfavorable period for new beginnings, important decisions, medical procedures, and hair salons. Group work is not recommended. Intuition and intellectual abilities increase,” the astrologer said.
From 7:22 p.m. May 9 to 12:00 a.m. May 10, Mars' influence continues.
May 10
“This is an unfavorable period for new beginnings, important decisions, surgeries, dental procedures, and hair salons. Due to the general energy of the day, it is better not to start new activities related to entertainment with children, gambling, public performances, or romantic adventures,” she advised.
“This is a difficult day requiring strong discipline and self-control. It is a stressful period of lunar phase change. The danger lies in overestimating one’s abilities in critical situations. High focus and concentration are required,” she added.
From 8:09 a.m. to 8:39 p.m. May 10, the Moon will be void of course.
“Balance lunar energy with white color, silver, dairy products, and rest near water,” Soloviova concluded.
