In the period from May 4 to May 10, 2026, the astrological situation will form a tense yet transformative week, where calm, logic, and internal composure will gradually emerge following sharp energies. At the same time, the path to this is accompanied by important realizations and deep transformations. Astrologer Ksenia Bazylenko told UNN readers more about what the stars and planets predict for this week.
Weekly Preview: Changes in Ukraine
Ukraine: activation of processes at the government level. Possible decisions affecting the alignment of forces, as well as internal changes in management structures. A tense period continues, which may require quick and responsible steps
What to expect in the first days of the week
According to Bazylenko, this week Mercury moves into Taurus, so thinking calms down and more practicality, prudence, and a desire to make balanced decisions appear; therefore, one should rely more on logic and reality. At the same time, the beginning of the week will be tense.
Mars in square to Jupiter creates strong tension. This is an aspect of excessive ambition, sharp actions, and the risk of erroneous decisions. Pluto becomes stationary. A deep period of transformations begins. These are slow but very significant processes that change situations at a fundamental level
However, the specialist warns: on May 4-5, one should be careful with decisions.
Monday and Tuesday are the most tense days of the week. Mars — the planet of aggression, strength, and action — is in a tense aspect to Jupiter. Jupiter is associated with: power, influential people, and large-scale social processes. Such a combination can produce sharp, impulsive actions, excessive self-confidence, and erroneous or overly aggressive decisions at the leadership level
According to her, on a global level, this may manifest as an escalation of situations or actions taken in haste. The astrologer emphasizes that during these days it is important not to settle scores, not to make sharp decisions, to be careful with travel, and to carefully check documents and agreements.
The main rule is more logic, less emotion. Deep background: a time of internal changes. Most of May passes under the influence of stationary Pluto. This means that processes slow down, decisions mature gradually, but changes occur at a very deep level. This applies to both world processes and the personal life of everyone. This is not a time for haste. This is a time for realization, reassessment, and internal transformation
What the stars and planets portend for Ukraine
According to the astrologer, at the level of Ukraine, important processes within the management system continue to activate this week.
Possible decisions that change the alignment of forces, actions regarding people who previously had influence, and internal transformations in power structures. In addition, a tense influence related to the interaction of energies of power and leadership persists throughout the month. This may manifest as increased tension in the decision-making process, the need to react quickly to difficult situations, and steps that change the balance of influence
According to her, this is not about isolated events, but about a process that gradually leads to important changes at the highest level.

Lunar Rhythms of the Week
Monday may bring emotional instability. There is a risk of exaggeration or incorrect perception of the situation. The astrologer advises not to rush to conclusions.
At the same time, Friday is a day of deep internal processes. A strong period for working on oneself and one's state. According to Ksenia Bazylenko, it is especially good on this day to take care of the body and appearance, perform feminine practices, and restore internal balance.
However, Sunday may bring tension again, so the astrologer advises ending the week calmly.
This week begins with tension and sharp energies but gradually transitions into a calmer and deeper state. From aggression to prudence. From impulse to realization. From chaos to internal balance. The main thing now is not to rush, but to move confidently, logically, and with a deep understanding of the processes. This is how the most important and correct decisions are formed
