Three key aspects create a variety of astro themes this week. The Moon is waning, so there are themes of authenticity, closure and release. Mercury leaves his shadow this weekend so next week Mercury is out of the woods and back to working his fleet footed magic.
Tuesday: Venus/Pluto ‘It’s Business Time!’
If you’re familiar with the Flight of the Conchords this phrase will probably bring a smile to your face. Any Venus/Pluto link can create a passionate, seductive quality. This Venus/Pluto trine bridges earth signs Virgo and Capricorn, so it certainly creates a sensual, tactile energy.
Earth signs are also about business, money and managing stuff, like time or objects.
Thus, Venus/Pluto can be about organising business deals or setting professional schedules. It’s grounded, practical and intensely focused on details. In short, a great aspect for discovering a sweet possibility or connection. Business dealings are well aspected.

Midweek: Mars/Uranus ‘Explosive!’
Last weekend Mars opposed Pluto. You may have experienced intense power struggles, or become clear on how/where you’ve given away your power, or allowed yourself to controlled by a person or situation. Mars/Pluto can bring truths to light, that ultimately empower. I mention this as there are links between last weekend (Mars/Pluto) and midweek, when Mars squares Uranus.
Mars/Uranus is about liberation. It’s the ultimate call to freedom. It stirs the pot and shakes up routines to help you question whether you’re operating out of fear or from a place of authenticity.
Change is what this midweek aspect demands.
Consciously focus on how asserting your will could catapult you into a more honest life. Unconsciously this energy can be reactive or stressful. Rather than ignore frustration, consider it a call from within that alerts you to where or how you might need to free yourself from oppression.
This is a combustible alignment that demands release.
If you’re been thinking about making a radical choice, or switching focus, Mars/Uranus will help. If you’re attached to a particular status quo (especially if you’re clinging from fear) midweek may force your hand.
Uranus is always about liberation. You can either choose your freedom, or receive one that’s allocated to you. The power of choice is yours.
Adding to the wild card quality of the Mars/Uranus square is the fact Mars is currently in out of bounds condition. This itself adds an unpredictable or out of character quality to a planet. Combine that with Uranus, the most unconventional planet, and you have a volatile pairing that’s rebellious and resists conformity.
(You can get more specific with the Mars/Uranus aspect by consider which houses it activates in your chart, and which houses it rules. This comes via the houses that hold Aries + Cancer – the signs in which Mars and Uranus are placed – and Aries + Scorpio – the signs ruled by Mars.)
Friday/Saturday: Venus + Mars ‘Affection and Passion’
By the end of the week Mars has dealt with Uranus and hooked up with Venus. Venus and Mars are the cosmic lovers, so this bodes well for date night, romance and new passion.
As Venus and Mars sextile, they connect easily, suggesting this weekend paves a smooth path into or through love. All kinds of romantic encounters are possible so whatever your love status, your efforts to enhance romance are cosmically blessed this weekend.
How is your week shaping up? Are you feeling one of these aspects more than the others? Love to hear your experiences, especially re the mid week Mars/Uranus shake up!
