Ever find yourself tempted to chase after yesterday’s dreams like a cat after a laser pointer—knowing full well it might just vanish around the corner? Well, buckle up, because this week’s celestial lineup is giving nostalgia a shiny new spin, and Monday’s Gemini Moon cozying up with retrograde Mercury in Leo is basically the universe’s way of whispering, “Hey, maybe that old idea you shoved into the ‘meh’ pile deserves a comeback tour.” There’s a delicious tension brewing—Venus squares Mars, both ruling the chatterboxes and thinkers among the planets—so that sweet spot between “let’s try this again” and “nah, maybe not” feels oddly electrifying. By the time the Sun struts into Leo on Tuesday, lighting up possibilities with a wink from Uranus, it’s less about reinventing the wheel and more about pimping out your old ride with some cosmic flair. And with Thursday’s new moon at 2 degrees Leo—talk about a remake moment!—you can almost hear Helios himself asking: where in your chart is ready to shine brighter, bolder, and a tad more dramatic? It’s the kind of week that demands, nay, cajoles you to blend the past and future like a mad astrologer-chef. Ready to see which old sparks could ignite your new flame? LEARN MORE
Monday’s Mercury-ruled Gemini Moon starts out in sextile to retrograde Mercury in Sun-ruled Leo. With Venus squaring Mars and both in Mercury-ruled signs, nostalgia or a mood to pursue what didn’t work in the past, just might be the action that actually hits the spot.
That’s not to say it’s toned to work out, exactly, more that it feels right to follow that thought to its conclusion and milk the mood for all it’s worth. There’s something that eluded you that is worth pursuing, at least in theory. There’s some juice there.
The Gemini Moon goes on to conjoin Venus and square Virgo Mars then run through a sextile to Aries Chiron. If you stretch yourself, there’s a chance to make something work.
Tuesday, the Sun moves from Cancer to its own rulership in Leo. It also sextiles Gemini Uranus, exact by night. If you’re experiencing a hankering to try something new, one possible avenue is by sifting through old possibilities you never really gave a chance to percolate. Old ideas might hold the key to finding just the right new idea. Investigate your options.
Tuesday’s Gemini Moon semi-textiles the Sun just before it moves to Leo and the Moon goes on to enter its own rulership in Cancer. The Cancer Moon squares retro Saturn and Neptune then conjoins Jupiter as the Sun perfects its sextile to Uranus. The mood combines with the peaking Venus-Mars square to effect a tense landing for the events of the day. There’s jockeying for control and slippery push-pull, but there’s also elation when you make it work at the last minute (or finish… yay).
Early Wednesday, Venus-Mars perfects, and the Cancer Moon goes on to sextile Mars by midday. Tension breaks, but it doesn’t disband entirely. What’s left fuels a satisfying release. Take advantage by taking action.
Late Wednesday into Thursday morning, the Cancer Moon squares Chiron in late Aries. That’s literally a painful mood, or pain that sparks a mood. The Moon leaves Cancer for Leo, heading toward conjunction with the Sun as both sextile Uranus and trine retro Saturn and retro Neptune in early Aries. A need for something different opens the door to shift reality. As the new moon, Moon-Sun conjunction perfects in the afternoon, the Moon opposes retro Pluto in Aquarius exactly by the next hour — though the Sun closes the aspect in the night.
Thursday is an intense day of new moon machination, but these Sun-Uranus-Saturn-Neptune-Pluto aspects are felt throughout the week. The whole making of the new moon includes ingredients we’ve been working on for weeks and months. Just like a recipe, it’s time to put them together in brand new ways for a brand new you.
Moon-Sun opposite Pluto is particularly eventful. While Leo expects to choose, there are elements of this amalgamation beyond our control. How well we assimilate and recreate them to our own purposes reflects our own current level in dealing with longterm influences. It also inclines us to assert ego in a standoff, though this may not be best for our ultimate success. Don’t advance or retreat in fear; have faith that in doing the right thing you’ll find support and opportunity in a brand new path.
Friday morning, the Leo Moon rolls over retrograde Mercury, and the mood is engaged and engaging. Much of what’s going on is internal, but plenty of people will be looking for someone to process the internal externally: chatty.
Afternoon takes the Moon into opposition with Pallas Athena in Aquarius, and smack up against the contrast of our old, ingrained patterns. What is new thought, what is old though rearranged to look new? Does that matter? What matters is challenging yourself to upgrade your narrative in order to refine the plan. Overnight, the Leo Moon sextiles Venus, a sparkling moment of clear-eyed desire.
Thursday’s midday new moon takes place at 2 degrees Leo. Where does that hit your chart?
