In this brief astrological commentary, the speaker highlights May 26 as a volatile day due to several key planetary configurations. Pluto and Mars form an exact square, both positioned at 11 degrees, suggesting tension and potential conflict. Simultaneously, the Sun trines Pluto at the same degree, indicating a transformative shift in global leadership. The Moon spends most of the day in Virgo’s Hasta nakshatra, then moves around 8:30 PM into Chitra, a Mars‑ruled nakshatra that is more feisty and, in this context, opposed by Saturn. The combination of the Pluto‑Mars square, Sun‑Pluto trine, and the Moon’s shift into Chitra is interpreted as a sign of heightened danger and the unfolding of a serious event.

May 26th, which is a Tuesday. Tuesdays are a little volatile. What is most significant about this day is Pluto and Mars are in an exact square. Another thing going on is the Sun and Pluto. Everything's 11 degrees practically today. The Sun's 11 degrees, Pluto's 11 degrees. Pluto is trining the Sun, so there's something about transformation and change that is occurring due to some shift in leadership around the world. Another thing is the Moon on this day is in Virgo. It's in Hasta most all of the day. It will go— by around 8:30 PM, the Moon will shift into the nakshatra Chitra. That can be a little bit more feisty. It's ruled by Mars. With Pluto squaring Mars and the Sun trining Pluto, I think when the Moon goes into Chitra, it's a little bit more dangerous. Chitra Vega is a bright, bright nakshatra, but being in Virgo at this time, it is opposed Saturn. There is a serious event unfolding before our eyes.
