The dramatics continue this Venus Day coming off of the Full Moon in Leo! Be careful not to let your ego steal center stage as the sun squares Jupiter- overconfidence is in the forecast. We’ll have no shortage of energy to work with, but it’s easy to go overboard. Uranus stations direct after a 5-month retrograde, making us very aware of the changes happening in our own lives and on the global stage. Expect the unexpected- surprises, disruptions, and chaos are possible, but any breakdowns that happen today are necessary for evolution. We are forced to face our wounding and acknowledge what still needs to be healed.

This Wednesday is anything but smooth sailing. As tension arises, it shows us what still needs to be healed. Mercury clashes with Chiron, forcing us to acknowledge our pain. If insecurities pop up, it might be tempting to put up our guard, but Mercury in Cancer asks us to stay soft instead and approach our wounding as a nurturing mother would. The waning moon in Aquarius makes tense aspects throughout the day as well.

Healing is in the forecast as Mercury makes a third and final square to Chiron. We could be forced to acknowledge pain that came up during Mercury Retrograde today, but doing so could lead to breakthroughs. As Venus begins her swim through Pisces, we’re reminded love and empathy are the answer. When the first quarter moon moves into Taurus, we are asked to tap into our values and take grounded, aligned action. The week ends with a cuddly connection between the moon and Venus, making for a pleasurable Friday night.

This is a day for healing and evolution. As Mercury Retrograde clashes with Wounded Healer Chiron, it’s easy to remember old wounds. But in the process of reflection, we can find new healing. The discomfort we may feel today is asking us to level up. The waning moon in Virgo asks us to analyze our emotions and release what we cannot control. The moon makes harmonious connections to Mercury and Uranus throughout the day, allowing for breakthroughs and realizations.

Feeling a little lost or confused? The Sagittarius sun squares Neptune, stirring up doubt. This transit can cause anxiety and sensitivity, but at the same time, it can make us feel sleepy or lethargic. Rather than searching for clarity, take stock of blurry boundaries and unanswered questions. Meanwhile, messenger Mercury connects with Chiron and the nodes of fate today. We can understand the direction we’re meant to head as our path unfolds, but letting go of the past can bring up triggering thoughts. Watch your words- our expression can come across as harsh (or even hostile) tonight.

Sensibility rules this Tuesday as Venus and Saturn connect in a balanced trine and the moon moves into Capricorn. We are more mature in love and money, allowing us to be more realistic with our expectations and slow down enough to make wise decisions. Consulting older loved ones for advice can bring through important lessons under this transit.
