People have been telling me they had crazy Mercury retrograde week last week and I have to agree with that assessment – the Trickster is up to the games he likes to play reminding us of the duality of this physical reality we live in. It seems every time some stunning negative manifestation of Mercury retrograde event occurs, it has been quickly followed by an equally surprising good turn of events – what an odd (retrograde) way to achieve balance! Leaves you speechless and shaking your head. The reality is as Mercury slows down and stations its effect is felt stronger, so early this week while it’s standing still, we may get some last blasts from the retrograde cycle. On Tuesday, it stations exactly direct and starts to crawl forward in Leo again. It won’t reach its shadow point until August 22nd, so expect to feel residual, but weakening effects until then.
Monday is the weekly Moon hard aspect to Uranus/Pluto square day with Moon in Aries conjunct Uranus and square Pluto. The second exact hit (of 7 total) of Uranus/Pluto is starting to loom on the horizon and will be upon us on September 19th. Late September is showing a big astrological storm gathering. This is around the time of the year when the Market many times gets the jitters, and with a Presidential election coming, who knows what type of reaction will occur? Moon/Uranus/Pluto on Monday can make this an intense day full of sudden annoying surprises that can push up tension and may have people explode upon one and other. Urges to break free may be hard to resist.
Besides aforementioned Mercury turning direct on Tuesday, which should start to get communications/travel/mechanical & technological/etc issues to start to unwind/operate normally, Venus finally leaves Gemini for the shores of Cancer. There’s a danger here with the Goddess of Love wanting to return to the safety and comforts of the past as security dwindles around her. Venus will end up tangling in hard aspect to Uranus/Pluto while in Cancer, so challenges in relationships and finances lay just around the bend for many of us. Venus in Cancer is considered favorable marriage weather, as it can bring out the affectionate side of us, but it can also bring out the insecure fear of losing someone side and degrade to manipulative behavior out of jealousy, envy, etc. This is also a time when many of us will have to deal with issues surrounding our mothers.
Wednesday is a quiet day.
Thursday there is a Last Quarter Square of Moon in Taurus to Sun in Leo: the emotional side is seeking security, while our willful side would prefer some new adventure. Venus in Cancer trining Neptune will likely have the secure emotional side win out in this struggle, as the Goddess of Love seeks some idealistic notion of merging higher and lower forms of love together into a deep romantic reverie to float away upon. If this type of relationship is unavailable to you right now to sink into, then artistic/spiritual inspiration may be the manifestation of Venus/Neptune for you. This really is a sweet energy aspect but it can make us quite passive and lost in fantasy. This is good energy to work for some charitable/empathic cause under also.
Friday is another calmer day.
Saturday, Mercury, now moving forward again re-visits its quincunx to Neptune that I blogged on last week, so expect to revisit this energy: “…can get us kind of spaced out today, however we may draw inspiration from nether worlds that we can turn into some type of art/creation. Normal communications are in disconnect mode, but psychic/unspoken ones may perk up. During this transit, we mainly live in our own mental fantasy world and avoid cold reality/have some alone time….” So this day is like a continuation of the Venus/Neptune energy dominating this week. Jupiter is also conjunct Vesta today and this can bring a big expansion to our connections with those we share ritualistic behavior with over some common serious interest. This can expand our knowledge of the world in some way big time, and we may be ready to take on some large issues.
Sunday’s Mars sesiquadrate Chiron can be a bit of a bumpy ride. Be careful in whatever weekend physical activities/sports/adventures you partake in of not injuring yourself or getting into some accident. You may have to think on your feet here to overcome some obstacle or get around some frustrating blockage. Adaptability is key, and be aware frustrating anger may come up between you and others that could end up hurting someone.
Next week, Venus tangles with the Uranus/Pluto square while Mars catches up to Saturn in Libra, and we have a New Moon in Leo. Stay tuned!
