Curious how these starry antics might just flip your script? LEARN MORE
With Venus moving from cardinal, fiery Aries to fixed, earthy Taurus, this weekend’s desire and aesthetic profile slows to pivot and drop the bass: in comfort and in its place, holding court and owning. Do we really need to add any complications? Sure we do. Venus squares Pluto.
Taurus Venus squares retrograde Aquarius Pluto through Monday morning. We can add a few modifiers like sultry, titillating, intense, smokin’ hot, but we can’t forget extreme, provocative, manipulative, or compulsive either. Reciprocity improves on a lot of pressures here; cooperation is KEY. Give and take, acquire and share: everyone ends up with something, and both improve and approve. It’s either that or the instant cut. Cut and make room for what WILL work.
We don’t wish to waste time on someone or something that doesn’t play nice and make room for a mutual win. There’s also the ability to move on shockingly fast… which may leave someone else hanging on in grief. But for those who span the divide, going deeper is sublime.
So Friday night, the Venus-ruled Libra Moon trines Gemini Jupiter before heading into Pluto-ruled Scorpio to oppose Venus and square Pluto. The mood launches like a jet rocket and lands like a dark superhero (or villain). With Mars in Leo, fiery and fixed, the energy to access is clean and enduring. Who says there’s anything wrong with being the main character… if you’re doing it right? Exhibit healthy confidence in yourself and pick your own plot.
Mercury at the end of Gemini moves into conjunction with Jupiter, exact midday Sunday. Mars opposes Pallas Athena, squares Uranus, and trines Chiron all weekend. Making meaning is natural, inevitable, and a bit confronting. The impact of our actions comes home to roost. It’s going to be full speed ahead in sight, sound, and senses — till it’s not. Eventually we hit a slowdown and a reckoning. The key takeaway is to keep those wheels turning and make sense of what you’re seeing, because the plot will unfold and you’ll need to respond.
Saturday night, the Scorpio Moon heads toward Juno through till morning, a reiteration of the dark Venus-Pluto passion/obsession. Play it up or down, you’ve still got the smoldering flow of depthy need. Satisfaction may feel worth it, whether or not you THINK it is; and the senses are heightened enough to to see it go either way. SO, don’t forget the role of your values in this equation, and give them equal weight.
Sunday morning, the Scorpio Moon quincunxes the Gemini Sun, then Mercury moves over Jupiter in the afternoon. If you’re willing to be uncomfortable in unfamiliar territory, to hold out for a philosophical win, you can manage both satisfaction AND success. Either way, whether it turns out to your liking or not, trying hard things leads to improvement. To learn is to win. Wins are sometimes a one off, but often they’re an accumulation of skills and knowledge.
Afternoon takes Mercury into the first degree of Cancer and squares to Aries Saturn and Neptune. By nighttime, the Scorpio Moon squares Pallas Athena and Mars and opposes Uranus, a grand square in fixed signs. An abrupt change of mood and mind is likely after the intellect hits the flow of change and control. Hold up now, I feel reality shifting — which changes everything.
Keep in mind, it’s a mood, a moment. Maybe it’s nothing more, maybe it’s everything. Take note of how you’re moved to respond, then how you think you should respond… You’re not going to KNOW, but you’re likely to have an opinion. Time is how you’ll know, and we’ll just have to see. There’s a knee-jerk compulsion to respond, to act, but it’s still a choice.
If you decide to find the excitation tasty, intoxicating, or arousing, the process itself will satisfy. So worry less about outcomes and appreciate the possible benefits of your world in flux. Don’t look at the wall you fear you’ll crash into; keep your eyes on the prize (and sit up straight like a winner).
