HUGE week ahead!
I'm late getting to this, so let's dive right in.
MONDAY - Mercury sextile Chiron, Mars sextile Saturn
TUESDAY - Sun square Jupiter, Venus sextile Jupiter, New Moon in Cancer, Neptune stations retrograde
THURSDAY - Pallas trines Pluto
FRIDAY - Mars square Pluto
SATURDAY - Mercury trine Saturn, Mercury square Neptune
On MONDAY, Mercury, at 16 Gemini sextiles Chiron in Aries while Mars, at 24 Aries, sextiles Saturn in Aquarius. The Moon will be finishing up in Gemini so answering to Mercury. Mercury/Chiron is healing conversations/information. Siblings, the local community, teachers are helpful. Mercury is in his/her home sign and this is an opportunistic sextile, so opening up about our fears/vulnerabilities is favored, just keep conversations short/light - offer empathy/compassion. Humor can be healing. Sometimes simply saying back to someone what you are hearing them say brings comfort/connection. With Gemini there can be options we hadn't thought about. More than one way through. At the same time Mars/Saturn stabilizes/gives structure/patience to our actions/passion/anger. We are playing a long game here. Saturn is retrograde so we are dealing with old rules/limits/responsibilities.
TUESDAY - needs its own post. We've touched on The New Moon in Cancer's aspect with Black Moon Lilith, but there is alot more going on. This is a POWERFUL new beginning around home, family, our roots/mothering. Neptune is stationing retrograde - this is probably most important for people with planets/points in the retrograde zone as well as people with Pisces rising or alot of Pisces planets. For all of us though, the tide goes out. Those shells that looked so big and colorful through the glistening water are shown for what they really are. This isn't a bad thing, it's part of the cycle. Neptune will be retrograde until December. It is HUGE that the Sun and Venus are both interacting with Jupiter, and in different ways - bigger is better or is it? We will unpack all of this in the next post!
THURSDAY - Pallas, at 27 degrees Taurus, trines Pluto in Capricorn. Practical strategies, powerful negotiations. Maybe this is our way through any minefields this week. Simplify our plans. Choose what adds to our security. When things get rough, we turn back to the basics. To the stuff we can touch, taste, smell. Nature is powerful/empowering. This is Pallas's final aspect before she heads into Gemini next week.
FRIDAY - Mars, at 27 degrees Aries, squares Pluto in Capricorn. The God of war squaring off with the God of death sounds, well, scary/intense and it can be, but let's think this through. People born with Mars/Pluto aspects will be activated. They have usually learned to control this energy and may even channel it positively, but for the rest of us it can activate repressed anger - we over-react, blow up, act out. Especially about things we can't control. Pluto is retrograde, so old power plays/struggles can get reactivated. This energy would be good for starting renovation projects when we are looking to destroy something! Remember though Mars is just unwinding his sextile with Saturn and he is strong in his home sign. We can keep our head when needed - be smart, no dark alleys/no unnecessary crazy-making. If we are pushing to make something happen (Mars in Aries) we want to be sure we don't destroy (Pluto) what we are trying to achieve - don't toss the baby out with the bathwater. Don't force/manipulate someone to do what you want (we can also be on the other end of this) unless we are absolutely, positively sure the ends justifies the means because it rarely does in the long run. Squares require action, and, yes something needs to transform here, but if we are thinking something MUST happen, we can get ourselves into trouble. Keep in mind the positive aspects to Saturn - be a grown-up. We have that Pallas trine - be a smart, stable grown-up. This is a cardinal square pushing up to START something new/deal with these power struggles and challenges in a NEW way.
SATURDAY - Mercury, at 24 degrees Gemini, trines Saturn while squaring Neptune. Mercury/Saturn is discussions with authority/stabilizing information/formal words. Something can be confirmed now. With Gemini our thinking can be all over the place and Saturn helps focus us, maybe forces us to look/pay attention over here. With Saturn in Aquarius, maybe we are talking/thinking about the future. Decisions are made. At the same time Mercury is squaring Neptune. We've had a few Neptune squares (and sextiles lately), but this is Neptune's first aspect while retrograde. The old dream/illusion/lie that pushes us to move on. Move into something more reality based/more stabilizing. With Saturn in Aquarius - our causes/groups/ideas about the future are getting clarified/firmed up.
xo all, back with the New Moon in Cancer!
