Let's dive right in!
MONDAY - the Sun and Mars are working together, giving us a little more agency, courage and willingness to act. This is a good day for doing rather than endlessly thinking about doing. Something that has been sitting in the realm of intention can get moved into the physical world. There is a sense of "I know what I want to do, so let's get on with it." This happens early in the day, so take advantage and use it or lose it.
The bigger story may be lunar - the Moon passing in front of Venus doesn't just aspect her, she occults/eclipses Venus - blots her out momentarily and then releases her. We talked about this in my usual long-winded fashion HERE. Read this less as conflict and more as interruption. Whatever our heart usually reaches for goes quiet for a beat. Something about desire gets held behind cloud cover before it becomes visible again. Good day to notice what surfaces once the Venus comes back online, not so much what we feel while she's gone.
TUESDAY - this is the tricky/deep-water day as Venus square Pluto is only beginning its three-pass story that pulls us through November. Relationships/finances can get intense. Venus/Pluto can bring us to the point where something can no longer be preserved simply because we love it or want to keep it. There can be losses that we will not feel ready for but cannot be stopped. Something may suddenly feel more consequential than we thought it was. Attraction can become obsession. Jealousy can rear its head. There can be POWER STRUGGLES. Stay honest and above-board. This won't be settled now - it will be re-negotiated across weeks.
The Venus/Neptune speaks of something like we discover that the thing we want and the thing we have imagined wanting aren't quite the same thing. Something beautiful may not be sustainable or something we dismissed because it didn't fit the fantasy may turn out to be what is actually real. It's all quite tricky.
And underneath everything we have, Neptune sextile Pluto, giving the week a much larger evolutionary backdrop. This is part of the architecture holding everything collectively together now. Old structures of desire, power and meaning are quietly dissolving and being replaced.
WEDNESDAY - Now Juno, doing her dance this year with Pluto in Capricorn that we talked about in multiple posts, stations direct. So, what are we still committed to, now that we have had time to re-consider the terms? It could be that a contract, an agreement or an unspoken understanding starts to resolve forward instead of running in circles.
THURSDAY - Chiron (the wounded healer) leaves Taurus and backs into Aries for his/our final few months in the sign of self. Our wound around self-assertion, around being first, around claiming identity without apology, but retrograde motion keeps the work an inside-job. His return to Aries might bring something unfinished back around - not necessarily so we can suffer through it again, let's hope, but so we can meet the old wound with a different version of ourselves. We have all been here before. There is something almost initiatory about it - the wounded warrior gets another opportunity to pick up his sword.
FRIDAY - the week's REALITY CHECK. Mercury/Saturn opposition is cold water. We hear a "no" or say one. Our thoughts run toward doubt, criticism or delay. It's a sober aspect against which the First Quarter Moon in Sagittarius demands a decision anyway. This is a crisis of action around belief, direction or expansion, arriving just as Mercury/Saturn is questioning whether any of this is even realistic. The tension is the point. Forces us to do something - so do we act despite the doubt or do we let the doubt cancel the action. Neither planet is going to make that choice easy. Don’t force a conclusion today. Gather the facts and let the conversation/information breathe - you can come back to it later with a clearer picture.
SUNDAY - Venus rubs awkwardly against the future/change/Uranus. Maybe something wants to stay and something want to bolt. No amount of adjustment will make this comfortable. Think 'rock-and-a-hard-place'. Plans change. Someone surprises us. A relationship dynamic suddenly feels different. A financial situation needs adjustment. Something we thought we wanted may no longer feel right.
So, that's the week and it's another BIG one. Buckle up.
xo all
