We are in the eye of the storm this week - a period of calm in the midst/mist...some pretty wild rides last week in this world...
On Tuesday, the Sun, Venus and Mercury Retrograde all are conjunct at 23* Leo. This seems to be a reminder that we must have heart in our communications and relationships with others - that coming from a mental/intellectual/Aquarian approach only is imbalanced without heart injected within it. The Sun and Venus together in Leo can be summed up as charming, magnetic, gregarious, but Mercury Retrograde may be holding us back somehow from truly expressing this the way we'd like, and our attempts at doing so may be misinterpeted/misunderstood, which can result in us getting a little discouraged and perhaps even retreating back into our own world where it may feel safer - but resting on our laurels securely or fear of expressing our truths because it may raise the ire of others may be not doing anyone, including yourself, a favor. Both Mercury and Venus are semi-square a weakend Mars this day too (and Sun semi-squares it Wed), so conversations trying to work things out may end up just causing more frustration and igniting new battles. It may be best to be a passive, yet interested listener today and give advice only when asked for, or perhaps seek advice from another, listen to the criticism and make it constructive by pondering its truth for some time before acting/reacting.
On Thursday, we can get a spark of energy from Mars sextile Jupiter. This gives us the opportunity to take action on going for what we want to expand our world - it's "enlightened self-interest" that sparks us now. This is great for collaborative efforts as long as you have something you are personally deeply committed to involved, however it is also good for working alone, and for advances at work/career. If you have a non-active work space, then by all means do something physical/athletic/adventuresome today or this week. Positive action can lead to positive attitude adjustment.
Saturday's Mercury Retro semi-square Saturn can be a bit depressing, as the mind sees the darker sides of things more easily today, which illicits frugal thoughts. Communications can be downright arduous also. No worries as it's just a passing phase.
Sunday offers an interesting contrast on the relationship side of life. Normally when Venus is opposite Neptune we combine higher and lower forms of love into a romantic/spiritual/artistic reverie that makes us quite receptive. However, several hours after the exact oppsition, Venus ingresses into Virgo, the sign of its fall. Combined with Mercury Retro and Sun also opppsite Neptune, this may actually have us in a more conservative expression of receptivity that mainly involves those who are brothers and sisters (not necessarily siblings) or those with whom we implicitly trust or share ritualistic behavior with. Mercury Retro sesiquadrate Pluto only re-enforces that and distrust of outsiders. It also has us see so many issues that it puts the mind in a quagmire that we can not extricate ourselves from - plus no one else wants to hear because thay already know or are shut down in some way.
This week the midst/mist of the Mercury Retro opposite Neptune Retro will give us much time to reflect...
