Welcome to my new newsletter! I’m hoping to write here about topics I’m interested in including: Astrology, Psychology, Creative Writing, Mental Health and Holistic Healing. I hope you will make use of this write up of the week’s astrology.
Monday
Today will be an eventful day for communication as the moon joins up with Jupiter in Gemini. The moon’s natural gift for intuition working alongside Jupiter’s expansion of our ability to gather and process information can give us great insight into our unconscious thought processes. But be careful not to get caught up in Jupiter’s relentless expansion, he can take your mind to great heights only for you to quickly realize that you are lost in your big ideas and your thoughts are moving at a pace you can’t keep up with. Those of us who are ruled by Jupiter (Pisces and Sagittarius risings) would do well to keep this in mind throughout Jupiter’s stay in Gemini. The moon’s crossing with Jupiter on Monday takes place in the 7th Lunar mansion, which grants success to petitions. This is a perfect time to make a petition you want to be granted either through prayer or a request for assistance from another person.
Today Venus will also be entering Scorpio after squaring Pluto. In the last degree of Libra, Venus completes a cycle and enters the underworld, bringing about endings and transformative processes in our relationships. Mythologically speaking, this is when Persephone, having eaten the pomegranate seeds of the underworld, must return there every winter after the harvest. We are coming into this week with the depths of our personal and collective psyche being newly illuminated. Use this energy to reckon with your inner fears, and familiarize yourself with your dark traits by seeing how you may be projecting them onto your relationships.
Tuesday and Wednesday
Mercury will also be making a trine this week to Uranus in Taurus, so be open to unconventional thought, new possibilities, and exciting or unexpected news. But beware of illusion and confusion in communication, as Mercury will also be opposing Neptune. Catching the more positive end of this transit, however, will allow you to tap into the unrestricted creative flow that comes from allowing oneself to be lost in fantasy. Tuesday and Wednesday will be potent for the artist looking to explore new territory and find otherworldly inspiration. Mercury will trine Pluto as well, so be prepared to be transported to the depths and back by your craft. Mercury is in Virgo during this time, so this is particularly applicable to writers and wordsmiths.
Thursday
Mars in Cancer this week will be approaching a trine with Saturn in Pisces, which goes exact on Thursday. Mars is bubbling and heating the murky emotional waters of cancer and Saturn has been in retrograde, making it at times difficult for us to see a path forward as many of us experience setbacks and inability to effectively focus our energy. The moon will be passing through Cancer during this time, stirring up the emotional waters in order for us to reach deep under the water and pull out the flame of Mars’ innate animal instinct that can ignite our passions enough to break through our Saturnian challenges. This is particularly applicable to those of you going through your Saturn return right now. Use this energy to make a push forward with your long-term goals, the hard work you put in now will start to pay off later in Saturn’s transit through Pisces.
Friday and Saturday
We close out the week with another day full of communication. Mercury enters Libra and comes into conjunction with the Sun on Saturday. This could provide some much-needed clarity after the slight confusion of Mercury’s opposition with Neptune. The shining rays of the sun will light up the conscious mind, this energy is good for socializing, traveling, and performing.
