As we dive into this weekend’s celestial shindig, brace yourself for an astrological twist! With Leo Mars throwing down the gauntlet against retro Pluto in Aquarius, we’re in for a dose of drama that could rival any reality TV showdown. Ever find yourself questioning if you’re the one stirring the pot or simply trying to dodge the metaphorical kitchen knives? Well, grab your popcorn because the air is charged with tension! It’s a classic case of “act now or risk missing out,” but don’t worry—embracing ambiguity is part of the cosmic game. It’s a wild ride of intensity and introspection, urging us to confront what we really desire, especially when clashing with the needs of others. So, are you prepared to balance your wants with the chaos of everyone else’s expectations? Let’s unpack this weekend’s astrological landscape and see where the stars are guiding us. LEARN MORE.
Friday night, Leo Mars opposes retro Pluto in Aquarius, exact Saturday morning. Both still closely square Mercury in Scorpio, so the tension of the week’s fixed t-square holds.
Are you waiting for the other shoe to drop, or have you waited so long that you’re considering kicking off the remaining one? That’s the rub, the friction. Who’s doing the doing? If it’s not someone else, eventually it will have to be you. But if you take it on too early, are you cutting off another possible outcome? While the Mercury squares are still tight, the aspect is past exact. You may have to get on with all this without any new information.
It’s also possible that an old problem comes to a head while you’ve now got more muscle behind your kick. Tension might be the assist needed to hammer one home. Sometimes that call is all on you, and you have to take control even when there are no guarantees. Even then, Scorpio Mercury lends an inkling of how that might go.
Friday night’s Cancer Moon is cardinal, so control is in its wheelhouse. The Moon squares retro Neptune in Aries then trines Mercury in Scorpio. You can’t know, but maybe you do. It’s natural to feel a bit confused. Might as well strike while the iron is hot – or NOT. Not striking is an option, an action. Go with your gut and your intuition. The Moon goes on to trine Scorpio Venus, satisfying and deeply pleasurable.
Through Sunday morning, the Libra Sun opposes retro Saturn in Aries, so that atmosphere of added responsibly for action is palpable. It could be a drag, or it might be a stable launching pad to fire up a profitable or image enhancing enterprise. Is someone taking another look at making a commitment? That’s perfection. But take your time and weigh your options. Don’t allow yourself to be rushed. If it’s the right thing for you, it’s not going anywhere. In a healthy relationship, both must benefit.
Scorpio Venus slows to station retrograde early Saturday morning. It then slowly creeps back into conjunction with Mercury and square with Leo Mars. It is absolutely appropriate to investigate “what’s in it for me”. We tend not to look on or speak kindly of folks that do that, but it’s necessary. Especially when we encounter a bump in the road or a possible lock-in of plans this weekend. What do you actually want out of all of this?
It’s not enough to lump in your desires with those of the people who share your boat. Yes, we need to know those. But don’t be so quick to jump over your own preferences first. Take another look. Consider. Are you even having fun? Your pleasure and position matter too. Don’t lock down something that doesn’t quite fit. Even if you can’t do anything about it NOW, knowing matters.
Saturday night, we have more Cancer Moon, one that moves out of a square to the Sun-Saturn opposition and into a void. Centering your own needs is another level to all this. It’s one thing to consider what we want, but needs may be non-negotiable. It’s a very parental and significant feeling moment. Your role is just as significant as anyone else’s. Feel your full self.
On Sunday, the Cancer Moon moves into opposition with Capricorn Juno then square to retro Aries Chiron. If something feels like a competition, consider whether or not you’re “whipping a dead horse”. With everything going on in the sky, there’s a temptation to pin feelings of envy or possessiveness on the usual suspects rather than approach them as an opportunity to step into your growth and walk away from issues you’ve already handled.
The Moon then moves to sunny Leo. It trines retro Neptune, opposes retro Pluto, and conjoins Mars in the night. Believe in taking back your own power, to do with as suits your own purposes. That believe part, it favors acting with grace, creatively and for the betterment of all (once you’re internalizing that you’re part of that all). We all have more in common than not.
It’s been a rough week, a week full of sticky wickets and creaky gates. The weekend brings participation in course correction as we turn inward to consider why and where we want to go. Do you know what you want when it’s separate from the needs and wants of others?
