This week is BUSY, astrologically speaking! We begin with some Mercury Retrograde shenanigans under a Mercury ruled Gemini Moon. We will probably immediately feel and see the retrograde in action so remember to pace yourself, breathe and laugh when you can. This will be a three week journey with an extended shadow period until November 2nd, so buckle up!
On Wednesday we could be a serious flight risk as Venus and Neptune connect in harmony. The desire to escape the crushing pressure of human life in 2021 is especially high. We will likely be motivated to pursue higher realms of pleasure and unconditional love. In moderation, this can be incredibly healing. Luckily on the same day, the Sun and Saturn meet to keep us somewhat tethered to the ground. Balancing seriousness and responsibility with play and fun will be the task at hand in the middle of the week.
Venus and Jupiter will square on Thursday, bringing the potential for relationship drama or overestimation of feelings. Coupled with Mercury’s current retrograde in relationship-oriented Libra, it will be vital to practice (and maybe learn) healthy communication.
We enter October on Friday with a Mars-Chiron opposition which can correlate with a bruised ego. If someone or something is cutting you down, it’s time to reassess your relationship to that circumstance. Is there a repeating pattern? Are you exercising your personal power unapologetically? Have you set proper boundaries?
Also on Friday, Mercury retrograde will square Pluto, prompting us to revisit a thought or conversation from September 22nd. Think back to last week and look for a thread of connection. There is something here that requests our attention a second time.
Over the weekend, Mercury retrograde will meet with Jupiter, which connects us with a situation from the Pisces Full Moon on September 20th. What dreams and messages came up for you during the last Full Moon? Did you have insights that can help you take the next steps forward, but haven’t put them into action yet? This is where Mercury retrograde is trying to help us – by picking up the mental pieces that we may have gotten distracted from. The Sun opposes Chiron and Venus sextiles Pluto this weekend, helping us to sift through painful feelings we may have been avoiding so that we can discover our truest desires and values.
