With a New Moon on Thursday, there’s a split cosmic energy this week. Mon – Wed is all about closure, completion, retreat and rest. From the New Moon onwards (Thurs in most timezones) it’s all about looking upwards and outwards.
On Monday Mercury re-enters Sagittarius, and by Friday he’s left his shadow zone. This means the hangover energy of the most recent Mercury retrograde is finally complete. Mercury retro delays are put to bed and crossed wires untangled. This week is great for re-organising, regrouping and re-focussing on the future.
Jupiter sits alone on one side of the sky, like a singleton. His influence, from curious Gemini, attempts to pr
ovide balance. While the Sagittarius energy is all about vision and faith, Jupiter in Gemini reminds you to seek facts to back up your perspectives.
Saturn and Pluto continue their sextile. This is the first major aspect made by Saturn in Scorpio. It’s a transformative aspect that runs until April, and you can read more about it here and here.

Mercury/Uranus (Aries/Sagittarius)- this eclectic link creates a fresh mental vibe, helping you see possibilities rather than problems. Solutions are unconventional and visionary, as tradition is over-ruled by innovation. Simply – think outside the box!
Moon/Pluto (Capricorn) – this once a month alignment brings deep feelings and intense emotions. Purge and purify, as only this aspect takes you right to the core. Truth counts and honesty is the only way to create trust. Be strong, but not controlling and avoid those on power trips.

Moon/Mars (Capricorn)- now that the Moon has been refreshed – thanks to the recent New Moon – this Moon/Mars link provides energy and motivation.
