We start the week with wonderful and soft energy. On Monday the Moon is in Libra, trine Jupiter in Gemini. You may be feeling very inspired, expansive and optimistic about things! When the Moon is in Libra, it indicates a more social, loving and connecting atmosphere. You may feel more social and outgoing and have a greater need to be around others.
Additionally, the Moon trines Jupiter in Gemini, as we mentioned, further inflating and magnifying this social and outgoing energy. You are more likely to feel positive and optimistic about your life and feelings in your relationships and partnerships (both romantic and platonic).
This week, unlike last week, is extremely mild, calm and peaceful. It is always good to take advantage of these periods to lie still and process any energies and events that have occurred during phases where we are experiencing heavier transits.
On Tuesday, Jupiter in Gemini squares Saturn in Pisces, creating a tension or conflict of desires within yourself. Jupiter in Gemini wants to travel, expand and enjoy, while Saturn in Pisces is more serious, withdrawn and internal. So you can imagine that these two energies are active within you. It’s not very easy or pleasant.
However, this is clearly a very common and natural aspect of life, where you must learn to hold two opposing energies at the same time, and give both space and permission.
Then, on Wednesday, the Moon moves into Scorpio, forming a sextile with the Sun in Capricorn. These few days are much more introverted and inward-focused than the past few days. Scorpio energy wants to be alone or surrounded only by a few close, intimate connections. You may be more inclined to go within and think about how you deeply feel about things in your life. With the sextile to the Sun in Capricorn, this creates a beautiful harmony between your inner and outer world and ensures that you are more focused and disciplined in how you approach things during this time.
On Thursday, Mercury in Sagittarius opposes Jupiter in Gemini. This transit has both advantages and disadvantages. On the positive side, you’ll feel more mentally inspired and optimistic about your dreams, goals and plans. But on the other hand, you are more sensitive to high expectations and lofty ideas. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that you remain grounded and realistic about your efforts.
On Friday we again have a completely different energy than the day before. Mercury in Sagittarius squares Saturn in Pisces. This transit indicates that you are feeling more pessimistic, serious, and pragmatic in the way you think about things. The advantage of this particular transit is that you are more likely to come up with ideas that are realistic and well-founded. On the less pleasant side, it can indicate that you are feeling very limited and negative in your self-talk/beliefs, making it important to practice gentleness and patience with yourself and others.
Then on Saturday we have Venus in Aquarius square Uranus, while the Moon is in Sagittarius. This is a very fiery, electric and experimental energy! This is a good time to break old patterns and patterns that you may have been stuck in for a while.
Allow yourself to get off the beaten path and try different things in your personal life and relationships too!
Finally, on Sunday, the Moon moves into Capricorn. This is a focused, grounded and practical internship. These are a great few days to focus your energy on what you want to achieve in the short and long term.
Make lists and maybe even draw up a rough plan to make your dreams and goals a reality!
