Monday, the Scorpio Sun perfects its trine to retro Saturn in Pisces, and the Sagittarius Moon heads into opposition with retro Jupiter in Gemini and conjunction with Sadge Venus. Last Friday’s new moon is well and truly settled in to the groove, highlighted as the fiery Moon jumps through the hoop it readied this weekend. Wants and needs are on fire, and it feels good. Exhilarating.
The Sadge mood is raring to go, ready for a target, a direction (or two). With Mars in Leo and Mercury in Sagittarius, that’s a lot of fire, a lot of thoughts and impetus to motion. As Mercury makes its way into square with retro Saturn in Pisces and Venus continues to square Neptune, confidence in parsing the situation can be dampened even as desires are piqued. What’s real? Just because we want it, doesn’t mean it’s good for us; and right now, it’s hard to tell.
Monday night, the Sadge Moon squares retro Neptune into Tuesday morning, but it’s just a little rain! Sometimes a damp picnic is a bit of a break (a firebreak). Take it as a sign to consider another approach, another perspective and get cozy.
Tuesday morning, the Sadge Moon finishes its square to retro Neptune then moves on to earthy Capricorn. That cardinal mood is metered and possibly fertile, perhaps even to the point of a testing ground for our racier thoughts and actions.
Venus heads into quincunx with retro Uranus in Venus-ruled Taurus, exact early Saturday. While our wishes and dreams are either malleable or in flux, experimentation and openness can take us from shocking disaster to surprise prize. Upgrade to the avenue that WORKS.
On Wednesday, the Capricorn Moon sextiles both retro Saturn and the Sun, then goes on to square retro Chiron in Aries in the night. Settle in to the flow of your early day and find the groove. Grab a wave (or a project), drop in, and paddle like crazy. The mood is great for finding something worth working at, but then you’ve got to work it to figure it all out.
Thursday morning’s Cap Moon finishes up the sign with a trine to retro Uranus, a sextile to retro Neptune, and then a conjunction to Pluto. Is there something you need to finish? Something left undone with previously missing parts? Get in there and see if there’s another way around (or the parts are no longer necessary or have reappeared?). The same components shake out differently with time, and the mood facilitates kicking out the dust and powering the initiative to work with what’s there.
Afternoon takes the Moon into Aquarius and an opposition to Mars. It then sextiles Mercury, exact overnight. Work on what interests you and ask for help with the parts that don’t. Collaboration doesn’t always mean working on the same bits, but working on the same general goal is a thing. Everyone’s individual goals and motivations are bound to differ, and that’s as it should be. The takeaway here is that it fires up your mind and fuels your senses.
Friday morning, the Aqua Moon finishes its sextile to Mercury then heads into square with the Sun. The Moon-Sun square perfects in the afternoon, then the Moon goes on to trine retro Jupiter and sextile retro Chiron overnight. The mood to make sense and further connections can be goosed along if you follow your nose. Eventually, the need to check in with life will get in the way, but it’s also a chance to figure out where to go NEXT.
If you don’t already have the Holiday Guide Elsa and I wrote, now would be an excellent time to get it. This mind space is perfect “set it and forget it” astro-weather, in order to insert it into your subconscious to run in the background. Of course you can refer back to it for the rest of the year, but this week is a sweet spot. As far as the rest of the year goes, you also get a 10% off coupon to use for the rest of 2024. That includes consultations with Elsa as well as products (be sure to pay via the cart so you can enter the coupon). In any case, it’s certain to be helpful, and thank you supporting the site with your purchases, comments, and heck — just for reading! I love to know people read what I write.
Put on your thinking cap this week, but don’t rush your thinking. Consider the idea that barriers and blockages are positive challenges that elevate your problem solving rather than degrade it. Take breaks when there’s no flow. Let the air in. Create space, experiment with perspective.
“Consider the idea that barriers and blockages are positive challenges that elevate your problem solving rather than degrade it.”
You’re so brilliant!
