The week ahead has a waning, or shrinking Moon, and the general tone is about pushing towards completion. The dominant lunar phase is third quarter, which occurs Wed/Thurs in the free spirited sign of Aquarius.
Mid week is all about walking your talk, and making authentic if unconventional choices.
The Moon moves through the signs of Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces, powering into Aries next Monday.
Tuesday: Capricorn Moon
The Moon is busy making a number of aspects, including a conjunction to Pluto, a sextile to Saturn, a trine to Mars and a square to Uranus. You can be productive, especially if you get obsessive about what you have to do. Some surprises are likely so try to handle interruptions with grace (something I’m still grappling with!).
Wednesday: Capricorn Moon
Mars and Saturn oppose. Some will feel this energy as the drive or staying power required to hold steady. Others will feel this as frustration or blocks to action.
Ideally Mars and Saturn combine to provide both the spark and the follow through.
A mature, practical attitude gets results today. Keep commitments wherever possible. When you can’t, be up front about renegotiating.
Thursday: Aquarius Moon
Today brings the third quarter Moon, a dynamic phase about reorientation. Check in and see if you’re still passionate about what you’re doing or where you’re headed. If not, the third quarter Moon supports course adjustments. Authenticity is key. Communication planet Mercury leaves Aries and enters Taurus today, giving a grounded quality to all Mercurial matters.
Friday: Aquarius Moon
It’s all about ideas, discussion and interaction as the air sign Aquarius Moon trines Jupiter in Gemini. Emotions expand, but cool heads do prevail. Apply logic to emotion if necessary. The detached Aquarius Moon squares sensual Venus in Taurus and a clash between the intellectual and the sensory sides of life are likely.
Will you talk it out or get physical?
Saturday: Pisces Moon
The weekend starts under an inspiring, dreamy Moon/Neptune conjunction. This pairing invites you to dive off the edge of reality and into the world of fantasy. Creative outlets, like music or poetry, help you get in touch with your sensitive side. The Moon also sextiles Mercury, now settled into Taurus, highlighting the need for heartfelt conversation that’s measured and matter of fact. If you’ve been waiting for a good time to send a tender message, this aspect is wonderful for doing just that.
Sunday: Pisces Moon
Mercury in Taurus faces off with serious Saturn and commitments are tested. Do you stand by your choices, or do changing circumstances mean you need to make new decisions? Schedules and all kinds of organisational concerns are in focus.
Be clear and practical about what will and won’t work.
Monday: Aries Moon
The Aries Moon brings an energy boost as the work week starts, though we are in the balsamic Moon phase now so action happens out of sight. Make peace with working behind the scenes – you’ll get a lot down in private now. The Sun aligns with the South Node highlighting the past, old themes and key events in your history. A temporary look back at critical events brings new perspective.
