Mercury’s all about slowing the heck down this week—Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius style—creeping forward just two degrees before taking a nosedive into retrograde territory come Sunday. Think of it like that one friend who promises to help move but only shows up halfway through. Still, this limbo phase? Perfect for double-checking the fine print, dusting off lingering questions, and lining up your requests before the cosmic rewind kicks in. Meanwhile, Venus, Mars, and the oddball duo of Sun and Moon don’t just sit on the sidelines—they’re center stage, spelling all sorts of juicy tension and revelation. Venus shifting into Scorpio is like that plot twist you didn’t see coming, stirring up surprise gains and resurrecting seemingly buried business. So, ask yourself: when the universe hands you a cosmic “do-over,” would you rerun the same scenes, or dare to flip the script entirely? Ready to toss out the pain that’s overstayed its welcome and lean into a future that actually feels solid? Yeah, me too. Dive in and see what this wild week’s full moon might reveal beneath the usual glitter. LEARN MORE
Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius Mercury only moves forward two degrees this week as it slows down ahead of stationing retrograde on Sunday. While we’re already in its retrograde shadow, this is still a good opportunity to chase down the details, cue up your requests, and generally reach out for more information ahead of time.
Otherwise, Venus, Mars, and the Sun and Moon take center stage this week.
Venus in Libra quincunxes retro Pisces Saturn early Monday, then quincunxes retro Pisces Neptune on Thursday morning. Freed from actively challenging Jupiter-Chiron aspects, desire must be restarted with a bit of effort and faith. It may seem like the well has run dry, but that is a bit of an illusion. All the goodies are right there, ready to dispense and disburse if you hit on the right vein, move the right rock.
Thursday afternoon, Venus shifts into Scorpio and perfects a quincunx to retro Gemini Uranus. It also squares Aquarius Pluto, exact Friday night. Remember how we’re churning up some details ahead of Mercury retro? Toward the end of the week, those inquiries tend to result in surprise gains or novel or unexpected turns on top. Something you thought you’d left behind may rise again. It’s juicy, if a bit unsettling.
Mars at the end of Scorpio perfects its trine to retro Pisces Neptune Monday night; then early Tuesday it follows Mercury into Sagittarius to oppose retro Uranus and sextile Pluto, exact Thursday. Trust in the process, steer into the skid — even if that seems weird. Safety sometimes means going on faith, let your body drive when you’re in the shit.
In the middle of it all, Wednesday morning’s full Moon in Taurus is relatively isolated. Moon sign-ruler Venus in Libra, however, is smack in the middle of its yod from Uranus and Neptune, escaping the orb of its opposition to Chiron. Mars is excellently situated to support with Uranus and Pluto. What does it meeeean? Chuck off your pain and follow your yearning into the unknown. Pain ceases being informative when we’ve learned enough about what genuinely suits us NOW, something new and powerfully life affirming. Break out of conditioned response desire and go on faith. There’s power in doing things differently.
You have to let go of what once felt solid in order to travel to what will feel solid once again in the future. Let go on faith, even if it zings.
Monday’s Aries Moon quincunxes the Scorpio Sun then goes on to square Jupiter, conjoin retro Aries Chiron, and oppose Venus in Libra overnight. We’re given multiple opportunities to experience what letting go feels like, but they’re taking place at a more mundane level, like a gut-level metaphor. Practice makes perfect, and if you can roll with it, this can feel exhilarating rather than exhausting.
On Tuesday, the Moon finishes in Aries then moves to Taurus to square Pluto and Pallas Athena. The mood serves up reasons to change and churns our previously settled path. These were reasoned systems that made sense and became ingrained, but if they no longer satisfy…? It’s likely and expected that there are new systems to explore.
Wednesday morning we have the full moon Sun-Moon opposition: Scorpio Sun, Taurus Moon; Pluto-ruled Sun, Venus-ruled Moon. Tangible desire participates in its own alchemy. Evening takes the Moon into sextile with Cancer Jupiter and retro Saturn in Pisces, splitting their trine. In the aftermath of the full moon, the mood is split between the push of the future and the pull of the past.
Thursday morning’s Taurus Moon quincunxes Venus and sextiles retro Neptune. Lean in a little longer than makes sense; give yourself the opportunity to attune to the mood and scent the direction of your destiny. Longing is your divining rod. When the Moon moves to Mercury-ruled Gemini, it conjoins retro Uranus, trines Pluto and opposes Mars, then opposes Mercury and trines Pallas Athena. WOW. Go with your gut and respond in kind as you move to understand your current position. Be ready to rumble, in a good way… or in a way. Sometimes “it just do.”
My paternal grandmother had a handmade sign in her kitchen. It either said, “Kissin’ don’t last but cookin’ do” or “Cookin’ don’t last but kissin’ do”. I can’t remember which it said because both make sense to me. This week is like THAT. Do we have to choose? Maybe. Maybe not.
Friday morning, the Gemini mood abides. It glides along, pops along till evening when it sextiles retro Chiron, squares retro Saturn, then goes on to square retro Neptune overnight. Actively grab onto your new thinking. There’s a chance to wrench reality into a quarter turn as we drag the past in our wake for a bit. Do the right thing — not just because you should, but because it’s simpler than not and makes more sense.
The full moon takes place Wednesday morning at 13 degrees Taurus with Venus near the end of Libra. Where do these hit your chart?
