MONDAY - Mars enters Taurus, Venus enters Cancer
TUESDAY - Mercury sextile Neptune then squares North Node then trines Pluto, Venus sextile Mars
WEDNESDAY - Sun enters Gemini (VOID MOON starting at approx. 1:30PM EDT)
FRIDAY - Venus squares Neptune, Sun conjuncts Uranus, Mercury sextile Saturn, Venus trines North Node, ALL DAY VOID MOON
SATURDAY - First Quarter Moon, Venus quincunx Pluto
By Wednesday all the inner planets will be in different signs than they were a week ago. We will all be feeling the CHANGE. Two LONG Void Moon days this week, so heads up.
Keep in mind this week is what happens after the seed is planted, when our body begins to respond before anything is visible above ground. The shifts, the realizations and even the disruptions - they’re all part of the same story.
The soil (that is us) remembering how to grow something different.
MONDAY - sets a slower, more feeling-based tone.
Mars in Taurus is a major gear shift. Results will be built steadily for the next few weeks and not rushed. Mars hasn't been in Taurus for two years and not in Taurus without disruptive Uranus in eight - take a breath. Pair that with Venus entering Cancer and the week opens with a strong pull toward comfort, home and emotional security. These two together make it a good day to invest in relationships and physical pleasures rather than the hustle. It's a time when SOMETHING SETTLES. This might be more decisive than dramatic. We could be pulling back where we were pushing forward. Maybe craving emotional safety over excitement. Or maybe we are saying a firm "no" where we used to just say yes without thinking.
TUESDAY - is the most mentally active day of the week.
Mercury is flying through Gemini his/her home sign now and makes three aspects in one day all at different degrees! His sextile to Neptune opens the imagination early, his square to the North Node introduces a wrinkle/tension/pivot - something we're thinking or saying may be working against our longer-term direction. Maybe news requires a decision. Information may bring tension/frustration. The trine to Pluto closes the day with depth and penetrating clarity. Mercury/Pluto usually brings something we see and can't unsee. This is a smooth trine, so could be about us making or having made an empowering decision. The Venus/Mars sextile running underneath all this adds a pleasant, creative warmth, what we want and what we need to do to get what we want are working together/feel in sync. The sextile can bring an opportunity to act on what just feels right. NOT A DAY TO RUSH DECISIONS.
WEDNESDAY - is a kind of hinge day.
The Sun's ingress into Gemini speeds things up and turns the overall vibe lighter, faster, more curious/communicative. Get things done early because the afternoon Void Moon is a practical caution. I sometimes find what I do during a Void Moon I have to do again later. It's good for internal processing/taking a break, routine tasks - that we do over and over again anyway. It's not for signing contracts, starting important projects or making irreversible moves. This is a breath. A pause. A mental opening.
FRIDAY - is the week's wild card. Shocks and disruptions, but with ANOTHER, EVEN LONGER VOID MOON will anything come of them?
The Sun/Uranus conjunction screams "shake things up" or something out-of-the-blue hits us over the head and with the Sun freshly minted in Gemini, we probably will not see this coming. Breakthroughs. Breakups. Breakdowns. Lightning Bolts. OPPORTUNITIES CAN COME OUT OF NOWHERE!
BUT a Void Moon all day essentially puts a pause sign on any action we take based on that jolt of NEW. The information/conversation may still arrive because the Uranus energy doesn't disappear. But anything we launch/do in response to it is unlikely to land the way we expect. The classic Void Moon teaching is that initiatives begun during the void tend to fizzle, go sideways or need significant reworking. I often find I have to do the whole thing over again later or I do a bunch of things for nothing.
The Venus/Neptune square gets trickier too with that Void Moon. That aspect already carries a fog-and-idealization quality, and then the Void Moon amplifies the sense that things aren't quite what they seem (and Venus in Cancer is answering to the Moon, too). On Friday we could feel strangely unmoored or like time is kind of drifty/stretcthy.
Mercury sextile Saturn is maybe the most interesting aspect under this Void Moon. Saturn-ruled thinking tends to fare better in a Void because Saturn is about consolidation of what 'already is' and not new beginnings. Reviewing plans, editing, organizing thoughts, having a practical conversation we've been putting off - these are productive uses of Void energy without triggering the "won't stick" quality.
Venus trine North Node still has its resonance, but maybe more as something we notice or feel than something we act on. We might feel a pull toward someone or something meaningful and file that away and act on it once the Moon is active again. Either way we are attractive to the future, and the future is attracting us! Maybe Friday is a day for receiving, not initiating. Let the Uranus surprises arrive and observe them. Let the Venus/Neptune dreams surface without making commitments based on them. Use the Mercury/Saturn clarity to think things through without necessarily setting them in motion.
Then Saturday's First Quarter Moon, with the Moon in active and practical Virgo, becomes the more reliable moment to actually do something with what Friday revealed.
SATURDAY - brings a moment of reckoning. The First Quarter Moon in Virgo puts pressure on whatever seeds were planted at last week's Taurus New Moon. Virgo asks - is this actually working? What needs refining/fixing? Venus quincunx Pluto suggests some discomfort in how closeness and control interact. An old dynamic may need adjusting rather than forcing.
I hope something here is helpful.
Keep in mind - what began under last weekend’s Taurus New Moon continues to unfold here. This week brings it into motion through our choices, our reactions, our clarity and our limits. Let's pay attention to what our body is showing us. To what feels steady. To what doesn’t. Because this is how the seed of a Taurus New Moon grows. Through a series of small, undeniable shifts TOWARD WHAT'S REAL.
