A tremendous amount of energy going in in the sky this week. Settle in…
The Sun leaves Aquarius and enters Pisces. Just as this happens, there will be a full moon in Virgo. So a shift with the “big” energy in terms of the sun. We move from an air sign (big on communication and intellect) and to into a water sign (big on emotions and creativity). That a broad brush stroke, but you get the idea. Pisces is ruled by Neptune – known for being hazy and foggy and sensitive and creative and “can we all just get along.” But also known to be prone to delusion and escapism. Often, though means that aren’t healthy (substance abuse, namely).
Full moons are times of completion and accomplishment. The ending of a cycle. And with all endings come new beginnings. Which could be this shift in sun-sign energy. It can also be a shift towards something more structured and stable. And maybe a little detailed and meticulous.
Mercury rules Virgo (and Gemini) and Mercury will be active this week as well. Entering shadow and soon to go retrograde, now is the time to tie up loose ends when it comes to big (expensive) purchases, get travel plans finalized and as settled as you can, and to send off any important messages. Once Mercury goes retrograde, all of that (and more) can become a chaotic mess. Not an ideal time to travel if you can help it, or to buy expensive things (or tech things) or to sign important contracts or documents (like buying a house or a car or starting a new job). Again, if you can help it. Life happens and we can’t all live our lives according to planetary transits.
Mercury is also going to sextile Neptune (a good aspect) and Pluto will get involved. Which is good because almost anything with Neptune is bound to be dreamy and “other-worldly” and will need a little bit of grounding. Pluto, if nothing else, is good for a heady dose of reality.
Mercury will also square Jupiter. A square is a placement of tension. So this can indicate a tendency towards expecting too much. Or, promising too much. Yourself or others. And we may not be doing it on purpose. It’s easy to get caught up in emotions. Just be mindful that this may be going on around you or within you.
Venus is also going to be active this week. She’s going to be dancing with Saturn and Neptune. So we may be taking a look at where we are in our lives with regard to love and relationships and money. Now, it’s one thing to just be aware of where you are with these things. As in, I’m not happy. It’s another to take the time to really evaluate WHY and to take steps (or at least formulate a plan) towards fixing this. Keep in mind that “fixing” things can sometimes mean replacing. If the transmission in your car is going, you can keep putting money in it to get it working. But, depending on what the problem is, it will only fix it for a little while. Then the problem will resurface. Sometimes, worse than it was in the beginning. Sometimes, you just have to get a new transmission. Or…a new car. I’ll leave that example there for you to fill in the gaps…
Venus and Pluto will also have an exchange that can leave us feeling or experiencing something that feels overwhelming. Overpowering. And we can feel as if we are attracting fated experiences. Because Venus is involved, this could concern itself with relationships. We learn the most about ourselves through our relationships with other people. My advice to most people with almost everything is to go slow. I say “almost” because sometimes when an opportunity presents itself you need to grab it. Too much thinking and list making and discussing…and the opportunity won’t be there. But for most situations, going slow won’t really hurt you. It’s easier to catch yourself if you find yourself going down a path you don’t want to go. You can correct it. If you’ve ever tried to park a car in a tight spot, you know that it’s a lot of moving forward a few inches, moving back a few inches, moving forward a few inches, repeat, until you get in the spot. If you try to rush into it, you may hit the car (or wall) next to you and it will be hard (if not impossible) to correct the mistake before it’s made. Go slow and you’re more likely to fit in the spot and not hit anything.
So go slow. Go easy. Feel what you’re feeling (that’s why feelings are there…to teach you something) but don’t rush anything. What is truly meant for you won’t pass you by. And if it does, it will come back around. The universe has a way of making sure we get what is ours…good or bad.
Be open to what calls you…
