We will go over all the Planets, their aspects to each other, the Houses and Signs in your chart and clearly explain the meaning of each and how it may be showing up in your life. I will send the recording to you via email so you can go back through it at any time for further insights.

WAXING QUARTER MOON FORECAST 12/19 TO 12/26

The good news? Jupiter is all over things this week with synergistic trines to MERCURY Rx and the SUN. A “Benefic planet” that brings optimism, luck, expansion and big picture consciousness to anything it touches. But also possibly, the shadow of over expansion, overconfidence and over doing things. Right now, JUPITER is pretty much stopped at 5 degrees and change in Taurus, getting set to go direct on the 30th. So, its powerfully magnifying that spot and most of the other planets are just dancing around it. The 5 to 6 degrees Taurus Sabian Symbol key phrase is:
“A Bridge Being Built Across a Gorge, OVERCOMING, Finding a way to end separation and form group consciousness. Building bridges to end separation”.
That can’t be a bad thing these days. It is been in Rx though. Consequently, its mostly working on our inner selves. A lot of life renovation and inner bridge building since September if you think about it.

NEPTUNE also plays a big role this week, as it has for a while. It is still at 24 degrees PISCES, it has been all month, though direct now. It’s a big slow planet so it never moves much in a month even at its speediest. The energy of NEPTUNE at home in PISCES is literally deceptive. It can bring us great inspirations, spiritual insights and psychic abilities, but it can also be so ungrounded as to leave us vulnerable to internal or external falsehoods, disinformation and betrayal and only our deepest wisdom can dicern between the two. The Sabian symbol for this degree is:
“ROOTING OUT CORRUPTION, How ever sincere an initial impulse was, there will always be corrupting influences; sometimes it is best to restart and refresh, “Rid yourself of negative thought””.
So that’s been going on since mid-November. Think about it

NEPTUNE is just finishing an awkward square to the SUN which may have left us all a bit collectively or personally foggy early this month about who we are or our best direction, though we also may have had some amazing visions of what would be an ideal future for us. Now it trines VENUS in SAG exactly on the 25th bringing some dreamy romantic or nostalgic vibes to the week which will be nice, I’m sure, for Xmas day. Things may get a bit awkward as then NEPTUNE squares MERCURY, exactly a month after its first square in the Rx dance, possibly bringing back any assumptions and erroneous or bungled communications made in late November for review or for mistakenly doubling down on them. Some Xmas presents to return? LOL. Then it trickily squares MARS just after the Full MOON. More on that next week but be cautious of betting the farm or your heart to person or a cause this month. Wait until January to commit vital emotional or material resources or at least have an easy out or refundable ticket.

The MOON activates the healer/mentor CHIRON on Wednesday. Then the SOLSTICE happens and EARTH begins to wobble the other way, the days get longer here in the North and all the peoples celebrate. The MOON swings past JUPITER on the 22nd giving a little emotional flair to a faint but present MINOR GRAND SQUARE with SATURN sextile to all: SUN, MERCURY and JUPITER, MOON on the other side. A fine day for a bit of manifestation magic or last minute inspired shopping.
MERCURY Rx is combust (within 5 degrees) the SUN (again) weakening its influence by blending it with our ego desires from the 20th to the 25th , so maybe it won’t be quite so mischievous as this retrograde has shown to be for some of us. It goes cazimi (exactly conjunct between the EARTH and SUN) on Friday the 22nd which can actually amplify its influence for a day. So be extra patient with its shenanigans and you will see in the long run it was really being mostly helpful or at least basically harmless, except to your ego.

That lucky and jovial trine between the SUN and JUPITER should give the week a good lift and the DEC 26th FULL MOON in CANCER will be sextile to it as it anchors a magical MINOR GRAND TRINE on the 26th made of SATURN, JUPITER and the MOON. All will be well if we keep our egos reined in, don’t overindulge in anything and don’t jump to any rash conclusions. Just enjoy the week if you can. It’s the Holy-days after all.

NEW MOON FORECAST 12/12 TO 12/19/2023

THE MUSIC NEVER STOPS.

While the NEW MOON on the Tuesday 12th and beyond is going to feel a bit more favorable than the last few months and weeks, it still has some tricky rhythms to dance to. For instance, mental and fluid MERCURY stations Rx on the same day as the NEW MOON while it is trine to enthusiastic and bull-in-a-china shop, JUPITER Rx. MERCURY Rx is nothing to fear, it just asks you to adhere to the venerable FOUR AGREEMENTS with a bit more diligence and checks your attachment to things going in a certain way.
The MOON steps forward and exactly lights up that MERCURY Rx trine JUPITER Rx the next day enhancing their energies. So, impulsiveness and rash actions should be tempered with some patience and restraint through this period. Though incitements and enticements may and should come, it’s not a sure time for making big gambles. Wait and see a few weeks before betting the farm or at least have a plan B you are OK with. In fact, logging any lit inspirations for your future that come up during this whole time would be advantageous, as NEPTUNE, now direct and still impactfully at home, squares the SUN all week. Be aware though, that square may also be attenuating your vigor for concrete actions at times. Write things down, envision plans, and realize your lethargy is facilitating the gathering of your chi before the pace really gets going in 2024.
CHIRON will also be Trine to MARS all week so it could initiate our healer/mentor mode. For those who do the gift giving thing it might be a good time to choose presents that soulfully benefit the recipient. Big picture, this hopefully will inject some compassion and wisdom into the worlds ongoing insane and barbarous events. Peace on Earth, good will towards men vibe.

Don’t be too surprised if you are feeling inexplicably a bit cynical and depressed underneath all the SAG fun this week. The MOON touches heavy Pluto in CAPRICORN on Friday, irksomely squares VENUS on Saturday, then goes over Ol’ stick-in-the-spokes SATURN in PISCES on Sunday, finally falling into NEPTUNE just before the WAXING QTR MOON on Tuesday. Not to worry though, it’s a passing malaise at worst and late Sunday the MOON does an uplifting and encouraging sextile to MERCURY trine JUPITER Rx.

An excellent way to weather these little waves of dourness is to engage a Gratitude Practice and antidote it with your inspired visions. Always good advice during this era of corporate limbic hijacking and doom hypnosis.

WANING GIBBOUS MOON FORECAST 12/4 TO 12/12/23

Out of the frying pan… Lol. On Monday the qtr MOON starts off with a communicative grand trine with MERCURY and JUPITER Rx as it squares first MARS then later that day, the SUN. Might feel a little frenetic, but maybe we are already used to that since the SUN and MARS are marching along in expansive, enthusiastic Sagittarius all month. Some weird dark feelings might be shadowing everything since VENUS is trine buzzkill SATURN in PISCES and square to glowering doomster PLUTO in CAPRICORN for a number of days. The MOON exactly trines PLUTO on Wednesday emphasizing the strong energies brought up by the concurrent trines betwixt the aforementioned VENUS-SATURN , the “healer and/or sufferer” dichotomy of SUN-CHIRON,  and the hyper expressive JUPITER-MERCURY. A good week to talk it out/write it out, about whatever is bothering you. A little responsible whining is allowed, it’s been a hard, strange Autumn.

Saturday the MOON catches VENUS in SCORPIO as they both oppose JUPITER Rx. Could be a day for passion or a day for jealousy, either way it’ll be likely rooted in some kind of subtle true intuition or an irrational fear. By Monday the sextile between VENUS and MERCURY will help us debrief whatever occurred over the last few days.
The NEW MOON in SAG on Tuesday will have wounded healer CHIRON all over it as well as MERCURY stationing Rx. More on that in a week on my YT channel, Intimacy Arts.
As always, I do personal reading for far less than the going rate for now, because I want you all to thrive by being in accord with your true nature.

FULL MOON FORECAST NOV 27 TO DEC 4

Full MOON aspects 11/27/23I kind of left it in a cliffhanger last week about relationships and all things Venusian (money, love, beauty and harmony etc.), advising ya-all to take it slow and cautious until after the FULL MOON, and that holds true, but be aware things are slow to get more flowy as Dec gets rolling. More on that below.
We’ve been experiencing a lot of karmic stuff this autumn, some of it quite difficult and some of it beneficent. Especially the last few weeks as our having chosen to responsibly deal with the particular twists of our plot, or not, has its natural outcome. The sky, unfortunately, starts off this period with some of the same vibe, but it gets better as we go along. The FULL MOON on the Monday the 27th emphasizes responsibility and consequences as it squares stern SATURN in PISCES while it opposes MARS + SUN still rolling together in SAG. This brief T-Square with the MOON can put the brakes on the expected exuberance of the SUN+MARS in sunny SAG and lead to some snappy mood swings. It can be a good thing if you commit to move forward in a responsible way and stay prudent and discerning about balance. It just slows things down, which can be frustrating or even depressing. Don’t let it bring you down. We may also be experiencing a lingering feeling of brain-fog and weariness because MERCURY is coming on to square NEPTUNE until Wed. Through the end of Nov. it might be a good idea to give ourselves the gift of nurturing and soothing activities along with getting things done. It’s a hard balance to find. So maybe alternate focused work with little retreats and do something nice for yourself. Rest and reflect and digest if you can, but don’t brood or fret, Life just might just possibly compel you to rest for a few days with a bug or something if it hasn’t already. SATURN is tricky like that.
As promised, VENUS in LIBRA gets a short lift with a lunar trine on Tuesday-28th, but its fraught by the MOON’s simultaneous opposition to MERCURY: reactive conversations. Sooo…
By the 1st we start to get some oncoming helpful breaks with a sextile between MERCURY and SATURN facilitating our planning abilities. Also, oncoming aspects with VENUS synergistically trine SATURN, bringing focus on positive boundary resolutions in our relationships and money issues. That will likely be facilitated by VENUS square PLUTO if you use that dark power wisely. The first wisps of an incipient MERCURY trine JUPITER gives us a needed shot of optimism (exact on Dec 7 as Jupiter slows down to turn direct at the end of the year). As well as a growing trine betwixt the SUN and the healer CHIRON as we reach the WANING QTR MOON on the 5th. A lot of these trines and sextiles are auspicious as they wax during the first part of the month. A welcome vibe after the last few months of uphill work. This could be the mopping up after the storm phase. Still work, but potentially more satisfying and relatively pleasant.

WANING QUARTER MOON FORECAST NOVEMBER 19 TO 26

picture of astrological aspects 11/19/23

Waning Qtr 11:19:23

Ok, the big news is still the MARS-SUN conjunction as they travel along together, essentially until the end of the month. This waning MOON will square that pair exactly on Monday am. So, all that self-activation augured by the conjunction has a possibility of tripping up if we don’t give the nurturing /feeling MOON its due attention. Selfish actions won’t do good for anyone in the long run. 5 Hours later, the MOON hits SATURN, still basically at 0 degrees PISCES, grinding in the energy of that degree. In the Sabian Symbols this is: HEALTHY EXCHANGE, “Exchange ideas, goods and services mindfully”. That signature has been going on for weeks as SATURN stationed there on NOV 4. Consequently, the SATURN +MOON square MARS-SUN will likely school you if you haven’t been in honest collaboration with your network.

On Wednesday the MOON activates the waning trine between Dreamy/imaginative/spiritual NEPTUNE and that MARS-SUN thing. More divine inspirations or more deluded tomfoolery. You decide.  Pluto is in the mix there with a subtly positive sextile to both NEPTUNE and MARS-SUN that I mentioned in the Bi-monthly forecast. Thus, our choices of what to focus our energies on, what actions we take and which ego-wolf we feed, dark or light, are on display this month.

Thursday, the MOON shines its emotional light on CHIRON as it opposes VENUS at home in LIBRA. There’s an opportunity to mend fences on old wounds here, but we’ll have to reach for it. SATURN exactly squares the SUN that day as it jumps into happy-go-lucky SAGITTARIUS putting a damper on any exuberance that might come from that. Still, SUN in SAG is going to be way lighter than the SCORPIO vibe we’ve just gone through and Mars will come right along in there on Saturday as the MOON conjuncts SAG’s ruler JUPITER. So, SATURN won’t be able to completely keep a good SAG down…” Yeah Dad, OK, I’ll have the car home by 10……maybe”. Lol. Because later that Saturday night the MOON taps into the uppity URANUS energy and anything can happen. I’d say be cautious of any intimate entanglements this week. It may not work out the way you hope because URANUS Rx in sensual TAURUS is irritatingly quincunx VENUS in loving LIBRA all week. Just wait until at least the FULL MOON on the 27th to deepen things.

More on that next week.

NEW MOON FORECAST NOVEMBER 13 TO 26 A BREATH OF FRESH AIR

 

Transits NOV 13 2023

Transits NOV 13 2023

Ahh.. Prepare to breathe a little easier after the stormy weather of OCTOBER and early November. Things definitely take a turn for the easier this period, though we are far from out of the woods yet…Well actually there is no end to the astrological woods, lol. Just some clearings where we can feel, see and move easier sometimes, to stretch a metaphor.
Things start off a tad intense though with the  NEW MOON in SCORPIO on NOV 13th. It opposes the planet of unexpected plot twists, URANUS, while conjuncting impulsive-action-figure, MARS. It’ll be all too easy to get all self-righteous and impetuous or, on the high vibe side, make some bold moves to improve things. The Good News is, VENUS has entered its home sign of LIBRA, helping everyone get along and feel more friendly and fair, both inside and out. Also, VENUS will be exactly SEXTILE MERCURY in optimistic SAGITARIUS that day and for the next 2 weeks, helping us all think in big picture, win-win terms, if we try…Try is the critical word, especially on the 15th when inflationary JUPITER  gets briefly involved via a vexatious double Quincunx “Finger of God” configuration to the SEXTILE. Pay attention that day.

The NEW MOON cluster is also TRINE to dreamy inspirational (or confusing/delusional) NEPTUNE, still Rx in Pisces, adding a bit of access to our higher self, or on the shadowy turn; our mistaken conviction the we know the true “Truth”. That confused outcome is aided by the ongoing glitchy QUINCUNX from NEPTUNE to the SOUTH NODE of our past. So watch out for egoic actions of hubris and old school values in your world. Stay strong but humble and only act with the benefit of the whole system in mind. WIN-WIN, Right?.

This energy generally carries on for a few days until the MOON conjuncts PLUTO on the 18th initiating a synergistic SEXTILE with the SUN + MARS as they travel along pretty much together into the upcoming FULL MOON. PLUTO will add some powerful subterranean energies to that assertive/aggressive SUN-MARS conjunction. It likely starts out heavy, but as the SEXTILE wanes on the 22nd– 24th, the SUN and MARS move out of SCORPIO and into sunnier SAGITARIUS it might resolve into constructive progress. The SUN and MARS also then get into a square with restraining SATURN  for the rest of the month, (which is now direct and we are probably feeling our responsible or irresponsible actions of the last few months bearing fruit), putting the brakes on any Martian overinflation we’ve indulged in, though we may not like the way it does it at the time. SATURN always says “You’ll thank me later”.

There is an oncoming OPPOSITION between VENUS and the healer/mentor CHIRON topping out on the 22nd. Opening an opportunity to heal stubborn wounds in ourselves or others or at least open them up to air. The whole horoscope gets a a karmic kick on the 22nd too when the MOON conjuncts NEPTUNE, triggering an arrowhead configuration (2 SEXTILES and a TRINE) with PLUTO as the crux, and the SUN + MARS anchoring the other end. The seeming eternal PLUTO SEXTILE NEPTUNE bit that I mentioned last week puts a generational spin on the arrowhead which may seed that day, though it is still weak and probably too subtle to notice except upon many years retrospect. But if you have any prophecy abilities, Wed might be a good day to look into the years to come for some hints. PLUTO has also been slightly SQUARING the MOON’S NODES of fate for months, so our long term destiny is definitely being stirred underneath all the short term action.

Over the next 4 days the Moon joins with CHIRON, then the NORTH NODE, JUPITER, and finally URANUS, all Rx, giving each its moment of being felt a bit more strongly as we head into the FULL MOON in lively GEMINI on the 27th.

All-n-all a slightly more forward and easeful period, but not a free pass by any means. We still have a lot of work to do to get ready for what’s coming in 2024 and beyond. Work over your TO-DO list of responsible actions, this is no time to check out of adulting. But do give some attention to your blessings received and all the things you’ve accomplished/survived in the last few months. You are more Badass than you thought.

WANING QUARTER MOON FORECAST NOV 5-13

I gotta laugh..Sometimes Life and, synchronistically, the astrology have such “whelming” and big waves that it can become somewhat ridiculous. The tragic/comic side of life becomes too palpable and one can sense “the man behind the curtain” pulling the levers of transformation. My personal aspects have been certainly putting me to the test lately, but your results may vary.
Its apparent we are all in just such a time now in the general astrology. Admittedly, for many of us it is an ongoing challenge to step back enough to get above the singularly tragic viewpoint. When the Universe/Life/Soul/Whatever sets the stage for us to metamorphose, we either do or truly suffer the consequences. Yep, true, we suffer anyway it happens…Life is dukkah as the Buddha pointed out. So we suffer our initiations, well or badly, and a sense of the comic is certainly necessary for staying upright, as well as trust/faith and gratitude. But yeah, it’s often a shitshow as well. But; As within, So without.

Annoyingly, the tension doesn’t let up a whole lot in early NOVEMBER, because of the ongoing oppositions and planets Rx. So responsibility, self-care and equanimity are still the order of the day. URANUS Rx is leading the transformation parade this month and as we head towards the NEW MOON on NOV 13th. MERCURY, MARS and the SUN all oppose the planet of sudden and inexorable change for good or ill in sequence this week. Its not all bad news though. URANUS also relieves tension like a snapped rubber band and can bring unique and innovative inspirations as well. If we stay loose and adaptable, creative and positive, we can use this time to the best advantage. Also good news, the NEW MOON will signify a slow but sure turning point in some of the energies we’ve been dancing with for weeks.

Saturday the 4th SATURN, the planet of responsibility and limits finally stations direct, but that won’t change things much as it doesn’t move out of 0 degrees PISCES until near the end of the month. Then we’ll start to feel some more traction. Sunday the 5th the MOON does its waning square to the SUN and later squares to MARS and MERCURY which could lead to some tense emotional moments that day.

On Monday the 6th I don’t think the usually auspicious trines between PLUTO to VENUS and NEPTUNE to MERCURY will help much. Just as likely to confuse and intensify issues as to inspire and improve them due to some bothersome quincunx’ throughout the day.  Especially as MERCURY also moves in to sextile PLUTO on the 7th to 12th. Watch for canny or uncanny intrusions from the dark unconscious or the higher self being expressed those few days. Discern the difference if you can. What is wild is PLUTO is also sextile NEPTUNE, now (tho not exact), Its dances on and on, in and out FROM approx. 1947 to approx. 2036!  A truly evolutionary and generational aspect influencing our times. I’ll be speaking more about that in the future as will all the astrologers by 2026.

I feel like staying low and slow for the 8th through the 15th would be good advice that it will be really hard to take. URANUS opposes the SUN+MARS conjunction while Mercury squares SATURN during that period when potentially dramatic, impulsive and unwise choices will be all too easy to make. NEPTUNE is there, trine SUN + MARS adding possible escapist fantasies, inebriation and confusion to the mix. OR with the right collective attitude we could all experience some profound spiritual inspirations and genius innovations. Probably a mix of both, some bubbles will likely pop, as we tumble or dance our way to the SCORPIO NEW MOON. Remember though, “Your results may vary”.

OCTOBER 6 TO OCTOBER 14 FORECAST

Well the way the aspects look with this waning Qtr MOON we are all probably feeling a bit frenetic. The chart shows there are plenty of red aspects happening: SQUARES, OPPOSITIONS and QUINCUNX. All angles that denote some kind of discord between the planets involved and motivations for effortful resolutions to varying degrees, from demanding shoving matches to merely irritating agitations. So be prepared for turbulence. The FASTEN SEAT BELT light is definitely on for the first half of October. All this noise is the necessary abrasion to smooth our way into the future. Most of these aspects don’t last that long. Unfortunately, it’s likely going to continue to feel like one damn thing after another and we can feel harried, reactive or overwhelmed pretty easily.

All the fast-moving inner planets are direct now and, across from them, all the bigger slower planets are Rx or nearly stopped setting up a sense of a lot of action, but not much fundamental progress. Its cleaning your room so you can rearrange the furniture for better Feng Shui in the coming months.

MARS in LIBRA plays a big role this week as it squares PLUTO in CAPRICORN and trines with SATURN in PICSES. Sure to bring up some deep stuck stuff for resolution, particularly on Saturday as the moon makes a Grand Cross with MARS, PLUTO and THE NODES. But if we courageously and responsibly take our medicine, it will go down better than we thought.
Tuesday we have VENUS as she moves into meticulous VIRGO, opposing SATURN, triggered by the MOON, encouraging us to stabilize our relationships, finances and wellbeing. Especially as the SUN opposes the healer CHIRON that day.
MARS slips into darker SCORPIO exactly trine to SATURN Thursday. A good time to strategize for the future your soul wants, that you perhaps conceived last week.  Its all about keeping your eye on the big picture and your long-term goals through this period. Underlying all this sturm and drang is a nominal, but harmonious and extended, spearhead involving NEPTUNE, PLUTO and URANUS Rx which denotes the possibility of deep-rooted transformations in our lives and world. Do you feel it?
Then comes a ringing crescendo with the NEW MOON total eclipse on Saturday the 14th. Wheee!

More on that next week for sure.

FULL MOON FORECAST- OCTOBER 28-NOVEMBER 12

FULL MOON FORECAST- OCTOBER 28-NOVEMBER 12

Wow, what an eclipse period! For me at least it’s been one of the biggest initiations of my life. So much so that I had to skip the quarter MOON written report! As usual, for all of us, it has been a mix of miracles and tragedies, “good” and “bad” experiences, but with what seems of the more profound subjects amplified by the eclipse. Choppy waters the first part of OCTOBER with all the tense oppositions and awkward/annoying quincunx, squares and heavy planet retrogrades. Jangly and hectic and manifestly violent with Mars leading the planetary charge into uncompromising SCORPIO.

The partial lunar eclipse arrives on Oct 28th. It’ll be another peak in the long process we are all in which got really fired up at the Solar eclipse, 2 weeks ago.
Full MOON in sensuous, earthy TAURUS, the opposing SUN in extreme and intense SCORPIO. A few hours later expand-o-matic Jupiter Rx at the civilizing 11th degree of TAURUS is touched by the Full MOON as they are opposing aggressive/assertive MARS and mental/tricksy MERCURY, also in reactive SCORPIO. Might generate calls for harmony or it could be explosive, probably both, with so much tension of oppositions present, plus the extended dis-regulating quincunx between foggy/dreamy NEPTUNE and the SOUTH NODE; custodian of the past. Makes it so we can’t easily choose our path yet.

OCT 29th the MOON triggers a week-long TRINE between URANUS Rx and VENUS adding the possibility of unexpected and/or innovative shifts in our values, relationships or finances. Hopefully for the better!

OCT 30th the agitated SUN, MARS, MERCURY cluster continue to oppose exuberant JUPITER Rx without much to temper it, as we wind up for the portals to open on Samhain the 31st. It might be a janky HALLOWEEN so don’t get attached to a smooth time and have a few safe back up plans, just in case.

NOVEMBER starts with more of the same: JUPITER exactly opposite the SUN NOV 2 might make us feel more confident, just don’t overdo it.

Nov 3rd will be interesting as there is a MYSTICAL RECTANGLE (Stabilizing, with hidden tensions under a smooth exterior) formed by the MOON, VENUS, PLUTO and NEPTUNE and given some generous degrees, a GRAND TRINE/nearly a KITE between MOON, NEPTUNE, and MERCURY with a URANUS, MERCURY axis which might facilitate some upgrade of our consciousness. Also, a GRAND CROSS forms involving the MOON, PLUTO and the N and S NODES (a strong push to get our collective life on course or suffer the consequences).  Let’s just be curious how things move in the world on that day. Eh?

NOV 4 might have some tricky hours in it as the MOON swings through an inciting square to JUPITER on its way to squaring the SUN for the…

NOV 5 WANING QTR MOON. It might be a good idea to plan a pleasant time of music, art, dance or a quiet evening alone with a good book if you can pull it off, while VENUS OPP NEPTUNE is in effect for a few days. We all deserve it and it’s a necessary survival technique these days.

Forecast OCT 14 to OCT 20

Wheee! NEW MOON Eclipse!! Yep, it’s a big deal. I feel like it is a major event on our journey through 2023. The SUN eclipses in LIBRA, squishing in with the SOUTH NODE (The past) and MERCURY (mind, thoughts, ideas, communications). It’s a rather PLUTO (power, shadow, the hidden/repressed and unconscious) compelled time as PLUTO is squaring all those planets in LIBRA one after another, forcing us to face the music of our shadows. MARS just explosively finished its Square to PLUTO too, and it’s just moved into SCORPIO, home sign of both planets now. More snags from the past might be brought up by the opposition of CHIRON to MERCURY over the next few days.   Challenging, yes but painful only to the degree we resist stepping up and dealing responsibly and compassionately with whatever arises. Its time to get to those dumpster fires in your life. Not with gasoline or also the expectation of quick resolutions. But a noble movement towards grace will pay off in times to come. It can and should be an opportunity to initiate or continue healing and strengthening our positions in life in some small or big way.  For some of us this will not be such a big deal and for some it may feel overwhelming. It very much depends on your chart and how you handle pressure.

Some aid is there too. MARS is closely trine SATURN stabilizing our reactions and helping us be more strategic, especially as the MOON does it too on Sunday, though hat can make us feel willful and stubborn too. Monday morning the Moon does an opposition to JUPITER then URANUS in the afternoon/eve requiring us to show a little restraint and patience despite our urges. Tuesday may be a bit confusing or uncertain while the MOON trines NEPTUNE and squares SATURN. There is actually a moment of possible loving and compassionate energy on Friday as the MOON forms a short Grand Trine with VENUS and JUPITER. Try to turn that into something lasting amidst all the chaos and corrections this week.

Its kinda crazy how MERCURY (speech, writing, communication, the rational mind, opinions) conjuncts the SUN + SOUTH NODE as it squares heavy PLUTO for the whole week. An eclipse to remember as there is a janky SOUTH NODE quincunx to NEPTUNE that goes on and on until December. It might be very hard to discern the truth or have clarity and consensus of opinion during the next few months. It will be risky it is to jump into hasty action based on what is likely confusion if not outright deception.

PS I wrote this before the tragic events in the world this week. WTF?!
