Mercury is finally throwing in the towel on retrograde and turning direct at 20 degrees Scorpio—hallelujah! But hold up, before we all pop the champagne, Friday night’s cosmic vibe is a delicate balancing act, with Mercury hovering in a trine to the foggy Pisces Moon. It’s like trying to navigate a winding, misty road without your GPS—sometimes easing in with an open heart wins over barreling forward full throttle. What if forcing the issue just leads you down a detour you didn’t expect but secretly need? Venus is playing a mysterious game with Neptune and Uranus, shaking things up with sudden twists that feel intense but might just spark the rebirth you didn’t know you were craving. So, will you lean into fate’s shuffle or stubbornly grip the wheel? This weekend’s celestial lineup is handing out unexpected opportunities wrapped in passion and fiery motivation—time to see how far that adventurous spirit will take you.

Mercury is stationing at 20 degrees Scorpio: Hooray! It turns direct late morning (Pacific Coast Time) Saturday. But Friday night it hovers, in trine to the foggy Pisces Moon. Lightly, lightly: opening up bears more fruit than powering through (as the Pisces Moon squares Jupiter Mars).
However, if you’re caught in the thick of it, you may have no choice but to power through. And that’s okay. As Omie Johnson said, “Let fate do some of the heavy lifting.” With Scorpio Venus trining retro Neptune in Pisces through Sunday morning, it’s okay if your goals are a bit blurry. In fact, you’re better off to go on faith or wait for inspiration till they’re necessarily locked down. Do you want to force the hand of fate? Maybe you’re on the path to something better than you already wish for.
Venus also opposes retro Uranus in Venus-ruled Taurus through Saturday night, and sextiles Scorpio-ruler Pluto in Uranus-ruled Aquarius through the weekend. Reversals may be sudden, unexpected, and intense; but they’re also likely to be the rebirth you need and will therefore eventually realize their value. Novel does not mean unwanted, just unexpected. Intense does not mean bad, and it may take you further, longer, and faster than expected.
Saturday night, the Moon finishes up in Pisces with a trine to Venus, a sextile to retro Uranus, and a conjunction to retro Pisces-ruler Neptune, highlighting Venus’ aspects while Mercury floats in station. Easy pleasure. Emotional connection. Mars in Sagittarius conjoins Juno through the weekend, so whatever the mood, it’s still “get yours” time. With the magical mood, the dreamy downtime, I challenge you not to waste this moment when the past meets the present. Let in what you need and weigh how you feel about what you want without worrying about what will be. Float.
Then the Moon moves to fiery Aries and a sextile to airy Pluto. Pair that with a bouncy Mars and the mood and motivation are volcanic… and sexy. It’s an opportunity to feel healthy in your animalistic drives (many). Just as you want what you want, you seek what you seek. Opportunities to seek abound. How far will you go?
Sunday morning, the Aries Moon trines the Sagittarius Sun. Past, present… you’re on the path, turning future into present. Forward motion feels GOOD. Midday, Venus joins Mars in Sagittarius while holding its sextile to Pluto. That shift into fire ignites desire, and the mood is tasty and toasty. Overnight, the Aries Moon trines Mars and Juno, and instant passion has a viable outlet in determined, unbridled action.
