Mercury returns home to Gemini this Monday, picking up the pace! Communication will feel faster and our daily schedule will get a little busier. And with the nearly-full moon in Sagittarius, we have we have no shortage of energy and optimism. This is especially true as the moon harmonizes with Mars this afternoon, making it feel natural to assert ourselves, take the lead, and go after what we want!

We’re especially imaginative this Sunday morning under a watery trine between the Scorpio moon and Neptune in Pisces, but a simultaneous square to Saturn can easily bring up worry or doubt too. The moon connects with Pluto and and opposes Mercury mid-day, bringing up intense feelings in and profound realizations. We get a very welcome dose of optimism when the moon moves into Sagittarius.

Big changes are possible this Saturday as Venus and Uranus meet in Taurus. This sets the stage for major shifts in relationships, finances, and values. This conjunction could bring an exciting (or surprising) turn of events might just link back to something that was set into motion during eclipse season. Current disruptions are clearing the path or lighting the way to bring us closer to love.

Puzzle pieces are falling into place now as Mercury harmonizes with Pluto. We are willing to go deep within to make sense of the transformation that’s coming together. But fair warning- intense emotions are likely part of the process.

The day could start on a bit of a rocky note as the moon opposes Mars and Chiron. Watch out for impulsive tendencies or sensitive triggers. We end this Jupiter Day on a high note as the moon and sun come into a harmonious trine, giving us a natural ability to express ourselves and relate to others.

Early morning insights are possible as the Virgo moon harmonizes with Mercury and Pluto. It might feel like you’re putting the final puzzle pieces together as you undergo your current transformation. Realizations can come through with ease. We can trust anything falling away is making way for something new to be born. The waxing moon enters the fair and balanced sign of Libra early in the day, helping us recalibrate and find center. Wisdom is gained through seeing another’s perspective now.

Intentional action is the name of the game under the First Quarter Moon in Virgo. We’re feeling productive and capable as we look over our to-do list, and we won’t miss a detail along the way! Just be careful not to be too critical or harsh in the process… This morning, the Virgo moon forms an earthy trine to Uranus, creating a shift or change.

Get ready to draft your to-do list! The Virgo moon puts us in a productive mood to start a new week. We’ll all be feeling a bit more analytical and observational, but not quite ready to take action… yet. This energy will be especially helpful as the Gemini sun gets support from Wounded Healer, Chiron. Healing realizations are possible if we’re willing to revisit past pain with curiosity and reach for greater understanding.

There’s a sense of resisting change this Sunday as the Leo moon makes some uncomfortable connections. We start the morning with the moon making a tense T-square to the North and South nodes. This afternoon, the Leo moon opposes Saturn in Aquarius, forcing us to face our own duties and responsibilities. Sunday scaries, anyone?

As one retrograde ends, another begins! Saturn begins its backspin in Aquarius for the next 4.5 months, asking us to inspect our own foundation and make sure we’re building off of solid ground. This retrograde asks us to review the rules and structures in place (both personally and collectively) to find and cracks or weak spots. Old structures could break down for new ones to be constructed. We start the day under a supportive angle between the moon and sun, giving us confidence and vitality.

Finally! Mercury Retrograde is over! We can start to make sense of everything the Universe forced us to review, but don’t get too ahead of yourself. The planet of communication is in its shadow period or the next week-or-so, so occasional glitches are still possible. As Mercury switches directions, it plays a balancing act with Saturn and Neptune.

This Thursday under the Cancer moon feels like a return home to ourselves. We can attune to our intuition and true emotions. When the moon and Uranus lock into a supportive 60º angle, we can get excited about possibilities! We’re more open to change and chance encounters throughout the day.
