Another day, another Amazon sale, right? Not quite. Starting today, Amazon’s kicking off summer early with its Summer Beauty Event — and it’s not like any other sale we’ve seen from the online mega-tailer. Alongside up to 30% off makeup, hair, skincare, and more from today until May 10, there will be flash deals across selected categories; this is where you can expect the steepest discounts — but you’ll need to act fast since each deal will only be live for 48 hours. (Trust us, they’re more than worth the planning and iPhone alarm-setting.)
 
The calendar of flash deals rolls out in waves, kicking off today and tomorrow with up to 50% off makeup, followed by up to 40% off fragrance on April 29–30. From May 1–2, health and wellness products are discounted by up to 50%, with men’s grooming deals of up to 50% off landing May 3–4. Skincare takes the spotlight May 5–6 with up to 40% off, then hair care gets up to 45% off May 7–8.

Medicube Zero Pore Pad 


"I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews about Medicube’s Zero Pore Pads, and at over half-off, I’d be silly to not finally try them. Our beauty director mentioned that these worked wonders to brighten dullness and smooth texture thanks to 4.5% lactic acid (an alpha hydroxy acid) and 0.45% salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA). Do I need them to eradicate pores (which is actually, not possible)? No — but if I get more luminous, clear skin, I’ll consider that a win in my book." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Beauty Writer

Medicube Zero Pore Pad, $, available at Amazon
Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray 

"I don’t care how many new setting sprays launch. Urban Decay’s All Nighter is a forever go-to, and seeing it hit the Amazon Spring Beauty sale at a discount is the ultimate signal to restock. While the beauty world is constantly chasing the next viral mist, this formula remains the gold standard for me, keeping my makeup in place for hours. Whether I’m running across Manhattan for press previews or even sweating in the desert during Coachella, the temperature control technology has never failed me. At 20% off, I’m not missing this rare chance to grab the prestige staple at a fraction of the price." — Alexis Bennett Parker, Director, Shopping Partnerships 

Urban Decay All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray, $, available at Amazon

Pacifica Sunny Glow Bronzing Drops



"While I love and regularly use Drunk Elephant’s D-Bronzi drops, they’re pricey. And at this point, so many skincare brands have made dupes that stand the test. I’ve never tried these Pacifica bronzing drops, but while they’re on sale for under $10, I have to try them out for an inexpensive faux glow." — Victoria Montalti, Senior Fashion Commerce Writer

Charlotte Tilbury Big Lip Plumpgasm Lip Gloss 


"I was never a fan of those spicy, dramatic lip plumpers that made your lips look like they got stung by a bee. Charlotte Tilbury’s Big Lip Plumpgasm glosses are a mouthful (pun intended), but instead of leaving lips looking red, swollen, and irritated, my lips look hydrated and juicy with a hint of minty tingle. I’m partial to the shade (and limited-edition flavor!) Strawberry Chocolate, a gorgeous nude-rose with plenty of warmth. It’s also quite generously sized,  and I have a feeling this will easily last me a year, even with regular use. At 25% off, I’m going to try the sparkly Nudegasm Diamonds champagne shade — I have a feeling it’ll be my summer go-to." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Beauty Writer

Charlotte Tilbury Big Lip Plumpgasm Lip Gloss, $, available at Amazon

Dyson Airstrait 


"I’ve always felt that the Dyson Airstrait tends to get overshadowed by her more viral siblings — especially the Airwrap — but ever since I donated a foot of my hair last fall, the way I style my bob has completely shifted, and I’ve been using my Airstrait nonstop. For thick, frizz-prone hair like mine, there's a very fine line between tousled and poofy. Using this on wash days to get a sleek (but not pin-straight) blowout has been the cornerstone of my styling routine, and the fact that I can do my entire head in less than 10 minutes is amazing. If you’ve been on the fence about trying this one, my advice is to snap it up while it’s $100 off."  — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Beauty Writer

Dyson Airstrait™ Straightener, $, available at Amazon

Tarte Double Take Eyeliner 


"There’s nothing particularly novel about this dual-ended eyeliner — but that’s honestly why I love it and keep coming back to it. Tarte’s Double Take has been a mainstay in my travel makeup bag (yes, I have a separate one just for trips — it’s one less thing for me to unpack/repack) because it’s two products in one. The liquid felt tip end is perfect for achieving any wing from subtle to Maddy Perez-Euphoria vibes. The pencil end is so tiny that I like to smudge it on my lower lash line. It’s creamy and blendable but once it sets, it’s not going to budge.  At $18.20, this is a total steal!" — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Beauty Writer

Tarte double take eyeliner, $, available at Amazon

Rabanne One Million Gold Eau de Parfum


"On vacation in Paris, Versailles, and Caen last year, the most incredible fragrance followed me everywhere. It was warm, lightly floral, a little spicy, and utterly mesmerizing. It wasn’t until this landed on my desk a few weeks later that I realized it was Rabanne’s One Million Gold for Her that I’d been catching little plumes of. It’s the most complimented fragrance I own. Once it settles into the skin, it becomes warm and inviting and smells far more expensive than it actually is. People often mistake it for Ex Nihilo on me, which is much more expensive. The lasting power is unlike anything I’ve ever known, which is why I need to pick up another bottle in this month’s sale." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director

Rabanne Million Gold For Her Eau de Parfum, $, available at Amazon

Olaplex No.3 Hair Protector


"If you’re already loyal to Olaplex No.3, it’s for good reason — it’s one of the few treatments that delivers on repairing damage and split ends, thanks to that mega bond-building ingredient, bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate. That’s exactly why it’s worth stocking up now. A new product — No.3 PLUS — is set to replace the original, and while it builds on the same bonding technology with added moisturizing ingredients like shea butter and avocado oil, the classic formula is hard to beat if you know it works for your hair. Personally, it’s been a mainstay for me. I use a lot of heat and my ends can get pretty frayed, but this always brings them back from the brink — smoothing, strengthening, and making everything look freshly cut again." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director

Olaplex N°3 Hair Protector, $, available at Amazon

Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner


"I love an Anastasia Beverly Hills lip liner, but I don’t like buying one at full price. So I’m jumping on them while they’re almost 40% off on Amazon. I already have a few mauve shades that I wear consistently, so I may re-stock and try out one of the red shades as I tiptoe into the red lip waters." — Victoria Montalti, Senior Fashion Commerce Writer

Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner, $, available at Amazon

WENNALIFE Clip in Hair Extensions 


"I know it’s called the Summer Beauty Sale, but it should be the Summer Baddie sale because these extensions will make you feel just like that. The Wennalife Clip-In Hair Extensions make it easy to add a few inches to your look or pump up the volume. What’s even better? These aren’t your average thin tracks. They’re 100% Remy human hair with a double weft design, meaning you get maximum thickness from root to end without the annoying shedding. Currently marked down by 15%, they are a steal for anyone who wants to instantly upgrade their hair game." — Alexis Bennett Parker, Director, Shopping Partnerships 

Wennalife Clip in Hair Extensions, $, available at Amazon

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – JULY 16: Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson are seen on July 16, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by Raymond Hall/GC Images)

By now you’ve probably heard the news that Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson have broken up. Megan posted to Instagram that Thompson cheated on her. When I heard the news  this weekend, I wasn’t shocked. I was disturbed. Not by the cheating. Infidelity barely registers as surprise anymore. What disturbed me was the math. The sheer volume of what she gave measured against what she got back from Klay, rocked me. 

I don’t usually follow celebrity relationships closely but this one was hard to ignore. Their affection was everywhere on social media. And my attention wasn’t neutral. There’s a tenderness I carry for Megan, knowing what she’s lived through, that made me want this relationship to work in a way I don’t usually care about.

So I locked in and watched it unfold.

In hindsight, the relationship reads differently. The intensity. The visibility. The pace. What looked like romance now feels like something else. Less like romance, more like hunger. The kind of hunger that comes from loss. 

Megan lost her mother, Holly, to a brain tumor in 2019. She made the decision to take her off life support. She lost her father when she was in ninth grade. By Megan’s mid-twenties, she had no living parents. Then in 2020, she was shot by someone she trusted and spent years being publicly disbelieved, harassed, and retraumatized while pursuing justice.

And then, in the summer of 2025, Megan found Klay.

She went all in. Courtside at games. Cooking for his family on Thanksgiving. Gifting him chains. Booking Bone Thugs-N-Harmony for his birthday because she learned they were his favorite. He named his boat after her. They held a key in front of a house. She told People Magazine she had never felt this comfortable in a relationship.

I don’t fault her for any of this. If I were her, I might have done the same. But what she was performing wasn’t just love. It was reparative attachment. An attempt to rebuild a sense of home after it’s been taken from you. Psychologist Dr. Thema Bryant has a name for what might have helped here: a “sacred pause,” a moment to take honest inventory of your heart before you act on it. But grief doesn’t pause. It accelerates everything.

If a woman can do everything we’ve been told matters… [and] the  response is still “I don’t know if I can be monogamous” then the social contract we’ve been operating under is broken. Not monogamy itself but the assumption that it can be earned. 

erica chidi

John Bowlby, one of the pioneers of attachment theory, showed that when our primary bonds are severed, the attachment system intensifies. It searches for proximity, safety, and connection with an urgency that can feel indistinguishable from love. When you’ve lost both parents and survived violence from someone you trusted, impermanence isn’t abstract. It’s the thing that wakes you up at 3 a.m. That awareness can make you move faster, give more, commit harder. Not because you’re naive, but because some part of you knows how quickly everything can disappear. It’s a survival response. But it can lead you to pour yourself into someone before asking whether they’re built to hold what you’re offering. Megan did all of this publicly, which meant millions of us became stakeholders in the outcome.

The philosopher Alain de Botton writes that Romanticism has compromised our ability to be clear-eyed about love. Romanticism: the living, breathing cultural belief that feelings should override everything — that if it feels right, it must be right. We’ve been taught that love should be grand, instinctive, and all-consuming. That the right relationship will feel effortless. That belief keeps us performing devotion when what we actually need is clarity. Not a prenup. Something simpler. A direct conversation about what the relationship is, what it requires, and whether both people are actually choosing it.

That conversation either never happened, or it did and she couldn’t hear the answer through the noise.

After the cooking. After the family holidays. After the alleged mood swings. After she held him through what she described as his worst moments during the season, his answer to commitment was uncertainty.

Monogamy isn’t something you secure through performance. It’s something two people decide before the performance begins.

erica chidi

And this is where I stop thinking about Megan and start thinking about us. If a woman can do everything we’ve been told matters: show up, caretake, integrate into a family, love someone publicly and without hesitation for the response to still be “I don’t know if I can be monogamous” then the social contract we’ve been operating under is broken. Not monogamy itself but the assumption that it can be earned. 

Monogamy isn’t something you secure through performance. It’s something two people decide before the performance begins. It requires two people who have already chosen each other, not people who are being convinced. Commitment isn’t what love builds toward. It’s what love is built on. And if it’s not there at the beginning, no amount of love will build it later.. And to be clear: there is nothing Megan could have done differently. This was never about what she gave. It was about what Klay couldn’t provide.

I’m glad Megan dragged him out as quickly and publicly as she once embraced him. That tells me she’s still very much in her power. She’ll heal. She’s survived worse than Klay Thompson. I’m rooting for her and any of us willing to take a risk on love.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

R29 babes, welcome to a brand new vibration: Uranus’ full week in Gemini. After years of Taurus energy asking us to slow down, stabilize, and sometimes endure, things are picking up again mentally, socially, and energetically. Uranus in Gemini is giving movement, curiosity, and “wait, what if I try this instead?” vibes. With no planets currently retrograde, Mercury fully out of its shadow, Mars strong in Aries, and Venus and Uranus freshly linked in Gemini, there’s a sense that life is moving forward again, quickly. And thankfully, Taurus Season is here to keep us grounded through it all, because without it, we’d probably be saying yes to everything and hardly sleeping.

But as the week unfolds, you’ll notice something building beneath the surface. A quiet intensity and pull inward, even as everything around you speeds up. That’s because we’re approaching the Scorpio Full Moon on May 1st, and Scorpio doesn’t do surface-level anything. This energy is passionate, emotional, and deeply revealing. It’s ruled by Mars in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius, which on a collective level can absolutely correlate with people rising up, speaking out, and refusing to stay silent about what matters to them. The core theme is truth-telling and emotional honesty that can’t be bypassed. And on a personal level, this lunation’s energy is just as real: what you care about, what you desire, what you’ve been suppressing all comes closer to the surface.

So instead of trying to rush through the week or stay “productive” at all costs, let yourself feel. This isn’t the time to numb out or avoid what’s coming up. It’s the time to move with it. Let your emotions guide you toward what needs attention. Move your body, walk, stretch, dance, box, release. Talk it out, journal it out, vent, scream… cry or laugh if you need to. There’s no wrong way to process all the feels, but there is power in allowing it to happen organically. This full moon week is here to reconnect you to your why and to remind you what makes you feel alive and what doesn’t anymore. What a powerful way to begin the month of May: clear, charged, and deeply in tune with yourself.

Read your horoscopes for your Sun and Rising signs for the most in-depth forecast.

Aries Sun & Rising:

Aries, what would it look like for you to actually take your dreams seriously… like, for real this time? This first full week of Uranus in Gemini is sparking something in your mind: your ideas feel electric, your curiosity is leading you somewhere new, and with that energy harmonizing with Neptune in your sign, there’s a softness to it too. You’re dreaming bigger, romanticizing your life more, and flirting with possibilities. The key here is not to scatter your energy trying to do everything at once. You don’t need five new ideas… you need one that makes your heart feel alive. One that feels like you. Let your creativity feel playful, but also intentional. That’s where the magic actually lands.

And then… things get deep. The Scorpio Full Moon on May 1st hits your intimacy, trust, and shared resources sector, and it’s not subtle. This is the kind of energy that brings everything to the surface: who you trust, who you don’t, where your energy is being reciprocated, and where it’s not. You might feel more intense, more observant, more “I see everything now” than usual. This is your moment to call things out, set boundaries, and get real about what you’re sharing emotionally, financially, sexually.

For some, this can bring a breakthrough such as a payout, a win, a sense of “finally, things are aligning.” For others, it’s a wake-up call to take control of your resources and your power. Either way, think back to what was happening around Scorpio Season six months ago… this is the culmination. You’re not here to play small in your connections anymore. You’re here to choose depth, truth, and alignment — even if it means outgrowing what once felt comfortable.

Taurus Sun & Rising:

Taurus, what if this time you didn’t brace for the worst, but actually allowed yourself to imagine things working out? This first full week of Uranus in Gemini is already stretching your relationship with money, stability, and what you thought was “secure,” but instead of spiraling into “what if it all falls apart,” you’re being asked to try something different… what if it evolves in your favor?

With Neptune in Aries activating your inner world, there’s a quiet opening happening: your intuition is sharper, your imagination is more active, and you’re able to dream beyond your current circumstances. This is less about forcing change and more about softening your resistance to it. You don’t have to have everything figured out right now. You just have to stay open enough to explore new ways of supporting yourself, and grounded enough to not get swept away by every passing idea. Let inspiration guide you, but let your values anchor you.

Once the Scorpio Full Moon takes place on May 1st, your attention turns to your relationships in a way that feels deeply reflective. This is a culmination point emotionally, romantically, energetically, and you may find yourself seeing things from a perspective you didn’t have before. With Uranus no longer in your sign, there’s a bit more distance now, and with that comes clarity. You might look back on the past six months or even the past few years and realize just how much you were going through, how much you were changing, and how that impacted the way you loved and were loved. There’s space here for forgiveness — for yourself, for others, for what didn’t work. Some connections may deepen through honesty and empathy, others may naturally come to a close if they’ve run their course. The key is not to control the outcome. Let things reveal themselves. The more you trust the flow, the more healing this moment becomes.

Gemini Sun & Rising:

Gemini, what if the version of you that you’re becoming doesn’t need to be “figured out” yet… it just needs to be explored? This first full week of Uranus in your sign is already shifting something in how you see yourself, how you move, how you think about your future, and you’re being asked to stay curious. With Neptune in Aries activating your community and future vision sector, there’s a dream forming — not just about who you are, but about where you’re going and who you’re becoming alongside. You might feel more inspired, imaginative, even more romantic about your life path. The key is not to rush to define it. You don’t need to commit to every idea… just follow the ones that feel alive and see where they take you.

As the Scorpio Full Moon lights up the skies on May 1st, your focus shifts to your daily life, your routines, and your well-being in a way that feels more intense than usual. This is a culmination point around how you manage your energy physically, mentally, and emotionally. You might notice where you’ve been overextending yourself, ignoring your body’s signals, or staying busy to avoid something deeper. And now, it’s harder to ignore. This can be a powerful moment of reset: choosing better habits, setting boundaries around your time, or finally addressing something that’s been affecting your health or peace of mind. You don’t need to overhaul your entire life overnight, but you do need to be honest about what’s no longer sustainable.

Cancer Sun & Rising:

Cancer, what if the life you’re dreaming about isn’t far away… it just requires you to trust it a little more? This first full week of Uranus in Gemini is activating your inner world in a way that’s subtle but powerful, highlight your intuition, your dreams, your quiet knowing. And with Neptune in Aries lighting up your career and public path, there’s this interesting harmony between what you feel called to do and where your life is actually headed. You might find yourself imagining a different version of success… one that feels more aligned, more meaningful, less about pressure and more about purpose. The key is not to dismiss those visions as unrealistic. Let yourself sit with them, refine them, and trust that even if you don’t have all the steps yet, you’re being guided toward something that fits you better.

Then on May 1st, the Scorpio Full Moon strikes, shifting the energy into your creativity, romance, and joy sector, and it’s intense in the best way. This is a culmination of how you’ve been showing up in love, in your passions, in the things that make you feel alive. You might feel a surge of emotion around a relationship, a creative project, or even your relationship to your own self-expression. Some of you could be celebrating a connection deepening, a project coming to life, or a moment where you feel truly seen. Others might be realizing where something no longer fulfills you in the same way. Think back to where you were in your life during Scorpio Season… this week’s full moon is where that story evolves. The more honest you are about what brings you joy, the easier it becomes to choose it moving forward.

Leo Sun & Rising:

Leo, what if the right people aren’t something you find, but rather something you align with? This first full week of Uranus in Gemini is already shaking up your social world in a way that feels exciting, a little unpredictable, and very revealing. You might notice new connections forming quickly, old ones fading just as fast, or a sudden urge to be in spaces that actually reflect who you are now. With Neptune in Aries activating your expansion and belief sector, there’s a bigger vision forming around your life, and you’re starting to realize that not everyone can come with you to that next level. The key is not to force belonging. Let your energy shift, let your circles evolve, and trust that the right people will meet you where you’re going, not just where you’ve been.

Once the Scorpio Full Moon occurs on May 1st, everything turns inward in a way that feels intense but necessary. This activates your home, family, and emotional foundation zone, bringing up themes around safety, belonging, and what “home” really means to you. You might feel more sensitive, more reflective, or more aware of dynamics that you’ve been trying to keep steady. This can be a moment of having a healing conversation that clears the air, setting boundaries with family, or simply realizing what you need to feel grounded moving forward. Think back to themes in your life from Scorpio Season 2025… this week’s full moon is where that emotional storyline comes full circle. Not everything needs to be fixed overnight, but everything does deserve to be acknowledged.

Virgo Sun & Rising:

Virgo, what if the path you’re meant to take isn’t the one you planned, but the one that keeps pulling you anyway? This first full week of Uranus in Gemini is already shaking up your career and public direction in ways that might feel exciting one moment and uncertain the next. Opportunities, ideas, or shifts in how you want to be seen could come out of nowhere, and instead of trying to immediately organize it all into a perfect plan, you’re being asked to stay open. With Neptune in Aries activating your depth and transformation sector, there’s a deeper layer to this… you’re not just changing what you do, you’re changing why you do it. The key is to trust that not everything needs to be linear to be meaningful. Let the path reveal itself as you move.

The Scorpio Full Moon strikes on May 1st and your attention turns to your communication, mindset, and daily interactions in a way that feels more emotionally charged than usual. This is a culmination around how you express yourself: what you’ve been holding in, what you’ve been overthinking, what needs to be said but hasn’t been. You might feel a strong urge to speak your truth, to clear something up, or to finally put words to something that’s been sitting in your chest. Just be mindful not to let intensity turn into over-analysis or sharpness. Your words have extra power right now… use them to create clarity, and avoid confusion.

Libra Sun & Rising:

Libra, what if the version of life you’ve been imagining is actually closer than you think and you just have to let yourself believe in it fully? This first full week of Uranus in Gemini is opening up your expansion and belief sector, and you may already feel the shift: a desire to travel, to learn, to experience life beyond your usual rhythm. With Neptune in Aries activating your relationship sector, there’s a beautiful but complex harmony — your vision for your life is evolving, and so are your expectations in love and partnership. You might find yourself dreaming bigger, not just for yourself, but for the kind of connection you want to share with someone else. The key is to stay open without idealizing everything. Let your dreams inspire you, but keep your feet on the ground as you move toward them.

With the Scorpio Full Moon taking place on May 1st, the energy turns toward your money, self-worth, and sense of stability in a way that feels more intense than usual. This is a culmination around what you value, not just financially, but emotionally too. You might notice where you’ve been over-giving, undervaluing yourself, or holding onto something out of comfort rather than alignment. There can be a moment of clarity that leads to a decision, a realization, or even a shift in how you approach your resources moving forward. You’re being asked to choose what truly supports you, even if it requires letting go of what once felt safe.

Scorpio Sun & Rising:

Scorpio, what if the version of you you’ve been becoming is finally ready to be seen? This first full week of Uranus in Gemini is activating your depth, intimacy, and shared resources sector, and you may already feel the shift in how you relate, trust, and merge with others. You’re feeling a new sense of openness and curiosity about life. With Neptune in Aries activating your work and wellness sector, there’s a subtle harmony between how you’re showing up in your daily life and how deeply you’re willing to connect with others. You’re starting to realize that intimacy isn’t just about intensity, it’s about consistency, presence, and trust over time. The key is to stay open to change without abandoning your standards. You don’t have to control everything to feel secure… you just have to know yourself.

And then, as the Full Moon rises in your sign on May 1st, everything becomes undeniable. This is your annual full moon — your emotional peak, your moment of truth, your spiritual reset. You may feel more sensitive, intuitive, and aware of everything happening around and within you. This is a culmination of who you’ve been over the past six months, since Scorpio Season 2025, and you might find yourself releasing an old version of yourself, stepping into a new identity, or simply seeing yourself more clearly than ever before. It’s powerful, but it can also feel intense. Let it. You’re not meant to rush through this. Move your body, process your emotions, take space when needed. This is your moment of rebirth, and you don’t need to have it all figured out to step into it.

Sagittarius Sun & Rising:

Sagittarius, what if the connections entering your life right now are here to change you… not just accompany you? This first full week of Uranus in Gemini is activating your relationship sector, and things may already feel different. Conversations are more stimulating, people are more unpredictable, and you might find yourself drawn to connections that don’t fit your usual “type.” With Neptune in Aries lighting up your creativity and romance sector, there’s a dreamy, almost cinematic quality to how you’re relating, bringing sparks, chemistry, and curiosity. But the key is not to get lost in the fantasy. Stay present and let things unfold naturally. Stay open to what each interaction is teaching you about yourself.

On May 1st, the Scorpio Full Moon occurs and the energy turns inward in a way that might catch you off guard. This activates your subconscious and healing zone, bringing emotions, memories, or patterns to the surface that you may not have been fully aware of. It’s less about what’s happening externally and more about what’s being revealed within you. You might feel the need to slow down, to rest, to process, or to step back from the noise for a moment. There’s power in sitting with what’s coming up and allowing it to move through you. Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs happen in the quiet moments no one else sees.

Capricorn Sun & Rising:

Capricorn, what if the way you work, move, and structure your life is ready for an upgrade… not a breakdown? This first full week of Uranus in Gemini is activating your daily routines, work habits, and overall lifestyle, and you may already feel the shift. Things might not run as predictably as you’re used to: schedules change, priorities shift, new methods or opportunities pop up out of nowhere. But with Neptune in Aries activating your home and emotional foundation zone, there’s a deeper reason for it all. You’re being asked to create a life that supports you from the inside out, not just one that looks organized on paper. The key is to stay flexible without losing your discipline. You don’t have to control every detail… you just have to stay aligned with what actually works for you.

The Scorpio Full Moon rises on May 1st and your attention turns to your friendships, community, and long-term goals in a way that feels more emotionally charged than usual. This is a culmination around who you’re building with and whether those connections still align with where you’re going. You might feel a sense of clarity around certain friendships, deepening some, releasing others, or simply realizing who truly supports your vision. It’s not about cutting people off impulsively, but rather about being honest about what feels reciprocal and what doesn’t. The more aligned your circle is, the easier it becomes to stay focused on what you’re creating.

Aquarius Sun & Rising:

Aquarius, what if the thing you’ve been overthinking is actually meant to be played with, not perfected? This first full week of Uranus in Gemini is activating your creativity, romance, and self-expression sector, and there’s a noticeable shift in how you engage with what excites you. Ideas come quickly, inspiration hits randomly, and you might feel pulled to try things that don’t necessarily “make sense” yet. With Neptune in Aries activating your communication sector, there’s a dreamy, imaginative quality to your thoughts and how you express them. You might find yourself writing differently, speaking more freely, or just seeing the world through a more poetic lens. The key is to let it be messy. Not everything needs a final form right now. Exploration is the point.

With the Scorpio Full Moon taking place on May 1st, the energy moves into your career and public image sector, bringing a moment of truth around your direction and how you’re being seen. Something you’ve been working toward, questioning, or quietly building since Scorpio Season 2025 now comes into focus. You might receive recognition, clarity, or even feel an emotional push to pivot if something no longer aligns. It’s intense, but it’s also revealing. You’re being asked to be honest about what success actually means to you, not just what looks good from the outside. Let this moment guide you.

Pisces Sun & Rising:

Pisces, what if the life you’re building starts with how safe you feel being yourself… not just how far you can escape? This first full week of Uranus in Gemini is activating your home, family, and emotional foundation sector, and things may already feel like they’re shifting underneath you. Your space, your sense of stability, even your relationship to “home” might feel more fluid than usual. With your planetary ruler Neptune currently in Aries activating your money and self-worth sector, there’s a deeper layer: you’re redefining what security actually means, not just financially, but emotionally too. The key is not to cling to what feels familiar just because it’s comfortable. Let yourself imagine a version of home, of stability, of support that actually reflects who you are now — not who you had to be before.

And then, as the Scorpio Full Moon strikes on May 1st, everything opens up in a way that feels expansive but emotionally intense. This activates your travel, belief, and higher perspective zone, bringing a culmination around how you see your life and your future. You might feel a strong pull to explore something new physically, mentally, or spiritually, or a realization that your current path needs to evolve. You’re being asked to trust what’s calling you forward, even if it doesn’t fully make sense yet.

In 2021, Michaela Coel gave an acceptance speech at the Emmy Awards that I think about almost daily. In it, Coel said, “In a world that entices us to browse through the lives of others to help us better determine how we feel about ourselves, and to, in turn, feel the need to be constantly visible, for visibility these days seems to somehow equate to success. Do not be afraid to disappear, from it, from us, for a while, and see what comes to you in the silence.” I think about this speech a lot not just because I am a writer, and that’s who Coel was speaking to specifically, but because it says a lot about fame and creativity. Mother Mary, the A24 gothic pop opera in which Coel stars alongside Anne Hathaway, is mostly about who gets the credit for creative genius, but it’s also about what happens when you are constantly visible and when that visibility eats away at the truest parts of you, rendering you unable to differentiate performance from reality. It’s about deafening silence battling against screaming crowds, the inner quiet that refuses to acquiesce to loud adoration. The film is also a ghost story and a love story, despite what its tagline suggests. 

Hathaway plays the titular character, Mother Mary, a pop star who seeks out her ex-best friend (and maybe lover?) Sam (Coel), her former costume designer and the woman responsible for turning the singer into a global icon with a distinct look. Performing music written and produced by Charli xcx, Jack Antonoff, and FKA twigs, Hathaway is transcendent. Onstage, she’s ethereal, yet commanding and powerful. She’s giving Lady Gaga meets Florence Welsh, even though director David Lowery credits Taylor Swift as a major inspiration (Hathaway herself name checks Beyoncé’s Homecoming in our interview). Offstage, a haunted Mother Mary retreats to Sam’s barn, a makeshift wardrobe workshop, and begs her to make sense of the physical and emotional descent she’s on. As the thoughtful, scorned genius costume designer Sam, Coel is riveting.

The movie is essentially a two-hander, unfolding like a play. Sam delivers long, righteous monologues that justify her indignation towards her former creative partner. Mother Mary did Sam dirty and she hasn’t forgotten. The movie is also about a white pop star denying credit owed to a Black woman behind-the-scenes, a tale Hollywood knows well. It’s implied that Sam is doing fine now, finding success on her own, but she’s more recluse than Mary. She saw what came to her in the silence. Mother Mary is trying to do the same. As they battle their metaphorical and literal demons, and each other, the result is an exhilarating face-off between two of the greatest living actresses of their generation. At times, the film doesn’t meet the bar set by its stellar performances, but when it does, Mother Mary is triumphant. 

As they battle their metaphorical and literal demons, and each other, the result is an exhilarating face-off between two of the greatest living actresses of their generation.

kathleen newman-bremang

When I sat down with Coel and Hathaway earlier this month in New York City, they exuded the same awe for each other that their characters do onscreen, without the sordid past and resentment. They are both as thoughtful and attentive as their personas suggest, and more playful and energetic than you may expect from two women promoting two movies at once (Coal has The Christophers and Mother Mary, while Hathaway is also on a marathon press run for The Devil Wears Prada 2). From Mother Mary’s all-female cast to the glaring racial dynamic between their characters, we get into it all. Plus, of course, I had to ask about Coel’s now seminal Emmys speech. 

There is not a man in sight in this film, and we love to see it! So talk about this all-female cast. Onscreen, the world is entirely shaped by women. Why was that  so important for this film and how did it impact the set?

Michaela Coel: Well, there were some men, eventually. The dancers. 

Anne Hathaway: Yes, exactly. 

MC: But only the women speak. 

Important distinction! 

AH: I didn’t notice that for some time. So I don’t know how important it was necessarily, because it wasn’t insisted upon. That wasn’t like there was a group meeting where we were like, “only women speak in the movie!” I don’t know how to describe it. I’ve had this feeling once in a film before, where I go, Oh, this is what it’s like to be a guy, because we have the majority position on this one. The word that came to mind was natural. It was fun. It was inclusive. Whenever there would be these big scenes that involved the entire cast, we would always meet up a couple days before at my house and just eat food and talk, and it was just lovely energy, lovely people. 

MC: I wonder for David [Lowery], it may have been deliberate, and I wonder whether you notice that it’s all women when you’re a man, I don’t think any of us realized that we were in a film with just women, but I’m wondering whether, if you’re a man, you immediately notice that this film is full of women.

I think a pop star would rather die than be caught stealing from someone else. So I tried to respect that.

anne hathaway on mother mary’s influences

You know what, I didn’t notice until I heard David speak about it after a screening of the film and I thought, That is rare. OK so a lot of this movie is about credit, and who gets credit. I want to give you the chance to give each other credit, or some recognition that you feel like the other needs more of.

MC: There’s this scene in the film in which you’ve seen Anne has to do this dance in a barn. When an actress or an actor comes to play a pop star, there are a million ways to play a pop star, and there’s a version of that which requires no stretching. Anybody can be a pop star, really, but Anne chose to learn and stretch and bend and break herself as an artist to put together Mother Mary. The strength that she had — to learn the choreography, the splits, the carrying her own body weight and putting her legs up in the air — is something she didn’t have to do. She chose to do that. And as the person who’s often quite lazy [laughs], I had to learn to be a fashion designer. I think I spent a day in Germany in some artillery with Schiaparelli, with our costume designer, and then I was done. 

AH: I don’t think lazy is the right word, considering you just told me what you’re doing on your new show, and you biked to work every single day. I’m just gonna gently push back on that one. [laughs]. Where to begin with Michaela Coel? You could focus on the intellect, you could focus on the talent, you could focus on the bravery, you could focus on the vision. You could focus on the poetry. You could focus on the majesty. I’m just going to keep it superficial and say you’re drop dead gorgeous. The face card is another level. 

MC: Thank you. 

Anne, I know there were a lot of real-life influences for Mother Mary, like Taylor Swift, Beyonce and St Vincent. How did you find  your version of her without simply imitating those icons?

AH: Those artists loom so large in our culture. They certainly do for me. So I was very aware that there was no possible way to steal because we all know them so well. I actually tried not to be influenced by them. What I tried to do was study them in order to know the space that they occupied so completely that I would know where there was negative space still to be claimed. And that was so much of what informed Mother Mary were the choices that other people hadn’t made that felt authentic to our film, where I really got inspired by all of these women were in their tour documentaries, and watching them in their raw state, build these shows that wind up becoming these incredible cultural experiences. 

I watched Homecoming so many times, and watching Beyoncé go from being postpartum to doing that show for two hours for two weekends. And then she changed the show up every weekend. The costumes were totally different. It’s another level. And so I think I just tried to honor that wild drive that pop stars have. In terms of the specifics of Mother Mary versus the specifics of them, I think a pop star would rather die than be caught stealing from someone else. So I tried to respect that.

There is something very potent about being a dark-skinned woman in this film who lives in a dark barn where she is barely seen.

michaela coel on playing sam

There’s so much between these characters that isn’t said but felt. And the racial dynamic is there – a Black woman helps shape the vision of a white global icon and doesn’t get the credit she deserves. How did you both interpret and navigate that racial dynamic between Mother Mary and Sam?

MC: We didn’t really have those conversations, but they were never had with anybody but me and my journal and Tasha Smith, who I worked with a little bit in preparation for this. It was kind of interesting. I didn’t consciously see or feel that, but it naturally moved through me when I think about the playlist that I made. It’s a lot of Black American singers from the 60s, 70s and 80s, and I would listen to their music every day. Esther Marrow, Dion Warwick, Chaka Khan, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Peabo Bryson. When I look at a lot of those artists and a lot of the music of that time, it has been appropriated and sucked in by the pop machine or by the R&B machine, but just with people that look completely different, there is something very strong about that. There is something very potent about being a dark-skinned woman in this film who lives in a dark barn where she is barely seen. And I think those things will resonate to particular kinds of people, and for them, they receive a different layer to the story. And that’s the great thing about both David Lowry’s casting and his writing; everybody’s going to take something very different from their experience watching it.

Michaela, before I go I have to thank you for your work. Thank you for Chewing Gum. Thank you for I May Destroy You. And thank you for your 2021 Emmys speech which I think about all the time. You said “Visibility these days seems to somehow equate to success. Do not be afraid to disappear for a while … and see what comes to you in the silence.” I would love to know what that means to you now. And for both of you, how important it is to disappear for a while and see what comes to you in the silence. 

MC: It’s my favorite thing. I literally look at the map and I go, Where can I go now? Where nobody knows who I am. I’m gonna go there by myself, like Northern Michigan and Jacksonville. That’s where I was the day before I came here, just on the porch with my friend, who’s 79 now, chilling. That’s me disappearing. And it’s not just to create it’s to re-humanize myself, because this is all an amazing game that we have the privilege and knowledge to create and get immersed in. And then I love to just go 10 toes down, see my cousins, see my friends from secondary school, high school, that’s why I need to disappear into those places. And then somehow art finds me along the way. And then I get to come back into the world and give people what I found in the cave, and that’s so nice. It’s like bringing a rare diamond to the world.

I do have a lot of movies coming out, so it’s time to hibernate.

anne hathaway

AH: That’s beautiful. For me, I have to temper that instinct with the fact that I’ve been a recognizable person since I was a teenager. So being able to disappear is not always something that’s available to me.

MC: Come to Ghana. I’ll find you some spots.

AH: I’d love to. I told you I want to come! I tend to try to take little dips [out]  in rather than these big dips. So I’ll try to find places that I love and that feed me at odd times when they’re sort of not very populated, or they kind of feel abandoned. And that is really, really important, because I try to offer my soul when I act, and if my soul is not fed. I’m not quite sure what I’m offering. And it matters so much to me that to just recognize that my life, which is very far from where it began, I can’t really think about it as mine. You know, it’s the result of the support that I’ve received for decades from so many people, and it matters so much to me that if I ask you to invest your time and your money that you work so hard for, if I ask you to invest that in me, I have to give you something amazing in return. And so I just kind of try to focus on that balance, because I do feel like I’m also fed by the work, and I do want to improve as an actor, and the only way to do that is, is by doing it. That being said, I do have a lot of movies coming out, so it’s time to hibernate, for sure. Time to go to Ghana [laughs].
