Think fast! Impulsive energy dominates this Venus Day. Mercury spends the morning at the 29th degree of Leo, making our mind restless. A trine to the North Node gives us the urge to make sense of our destiny. When Mercury moves into Virgo this afternoon, we can see the details more clearly- but criticism comes quickly too! Remember- words carry power.

We can clearly see our future as Mercury harmonizes with the North Node today, bringing our mental focus to the path ahead. But an annual conjunction between Venus and Saturn reminds us that the intentions we set under the Aquarius New Moon will require dedication. Fears, doubts, or limiting beliefs about love, money could come up today. We experience a welcome shift this afternoon when Uranus ends its retrograde, beginning a four-month stretch with all planets moving forward. As the planet of innovation switches direction, we can experience insights that help us break free from old patterns. Innovation is on the horizon.

This Friday the 13th is an invitation to soften and flow as the serious Capricorn sun makes a supportive connection to dreamy Neptune. We can lean into compassion and sensitivity today. Mercury retrograde comes into an extended trine to the North Node, illuminating the mental patterns that are keeping us in our comfort zone. By slowing down to understand where we’re coming from, we can gain insights about where we’re headed. The last quarter moon in Libra asks us to release in order to come back to equilibrium.

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.

We start our week off on a high note as the fiery Aries moon meets up with Jupiter. We can hit the ground running and we’ll have renewed optimism as we look to the week ahead. Mercury harmonizes with the North Node, setting the stage for a powerful connection to Uranus tomorrow. This opens the channel for insights and ideas to flow through over the coming days. Stay grounded and perceptive to the small details that are beginning to compose the bigger picture.

They say the truth will set you free… but first, it will piss you off. And that’s certainly the energy of this Venus Day as Mercury and Pluto come into an intense conjunction. Truths could be revealed. Secrets could be uncovered. We might feel especially rebellious and maybe even a little obsessive.

When Mercury retrograde harmonizes with the North Node today, we can easily pull the lessons we’ve been learning during retrograde season. The Sagittarius moon keeps the energy fun and optimistic while helping us gain a higher understanding.
