This week starts off with 3 very quiet days astrologically, as we sink into the throes of Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius. Two things I'm noticing highlighted with this retro period already: forgetting things you need from dashing off to quickly (only to have to go back and retrieve them, as you need them to complete your tasks at hand), and quick movements causing accidents - so be careful/slow down, seems to be a lesson of this Mercury Retro in Sag - no surprise there! But some deepened spiritual/mystical/religious insight also seems to be percolating to the surface of our conciousness too...a positive attribute of this period...
Thursday, Venus in Capricorn catches up with Pluto. This conjunction can lead to getting deeply serious about some relationship(s) in responsible terms. There's an intensity here, and it can be very narrow-minded in its focus and bossy/manipulative in relation to others. Our insecurities over not having ultimate control over others could chase them away if we take it too far. We may think our way of doing things is right, and it is for you (perhaps), but that does not mean it is for everyone else! This aspect can also find us obsessed/infatuated with someone in romantic/sexual terms.
The weekend should be challenging with Sun/Mercury Retro conjunct and square Mars and all 3 of them semi-square Saturn (Saturn at mid-point of Sun/Mercury & Mars). On Friday, the Sun square Mars can have us very active but also very ego-driven. It will be easy to get annoyed at others and/or circumstances and give someone a good dressing down. With Mercury Retro, remember what I said about moving too fast above: this is the perfect storm day to do so and get in some accident/mess, so be concious of your movements today or you could hurt yourself in some way. This is a good day to get some hard physical work/play in, but it may be best to do it alone, or get into some friendly (hopefully) athletic competition. Be careful if interacting with authorities not to mouth off or you may suffer their wrath. Expect to be challenged by someone or something today - take a deep breath before responding!
Saturday is quieter, but in the eye of this storm of energy above - the semi-square of Sun/Saturn is exact. This is another good day to work on your own projects and expect to be frustrated with others, especially with anyone with any power over you who is using/abusing it.
Sunday, the Sun/Mercury Retro conjunction perfects - this many times finds us retreating within to the depths of our own mind/psyche and assessing/re-assessing all that's gone on over the past few week/months and what it actually means to us/our lives - a reflective/contemplative day. However, with the conjunction in Sag and the square to Mars, it may be difficult to keep it all to ourselves. Heated discussions can easily turn into arguments when everyone feels like they are fighting for their life and the need to elucidate upon their experiences! Defensiveness/touchiness is prevalent, and once again accidents are quite possible. Once again, it might be better to take a hike/bike ride, climb a mountain, play athletic/sports games, take a short rec trip, etc. to deal with this energy.
So be prepared this week to deal with the depths of this Mercury Retro in Sag period. Full Moon/Lunar Eclpise next week in Gemini!
