This week is book ended by two different Saturn aspects. While there are moments of freedom, excitement and a taste of the future, it’s really a week in which there is a lot to be done and managed.
This week includes:
– Sun square Saturn
– Mercury retrograde back in Aquarius
– Leo Full Moon
The highlight of this week is the Sun square Saturn aspect, which peaks midweek. This is an energy about clarity, boundary making and definition. Saturn seeks that which is concrete. Those blurred situations or confusing connections will need to be discussed, and priorities set in place.
Making decisions with Mercury Rx can mean a redo down the track (this can work to your advantage though!), but with Saturn having such a strong influence it will be important to create a set of working guidelines. This will add to a sense of security and safety.
Personally, I’m in the thick of one of those weeks where it feels like every chunk of time is blocked out or attached to a specific goal. There may not be a lot of unscheduled time, but my time is being invested in things that are meaningful, and that I’d like to last – including time with friends, family and doing the work I so love.
Saturn asks, ‘If time is finite what MUST you do?’
This is really Saturn’s message. That if time is finite – and we are all here for a limited time – then what are the most important things to do with the time you do have? Under Saturn you may say no more. This will help you step away from fun but non essential commitments and responsibilities so that you can devote your best efforts and energy to the top few things that truly matter.
Mercury retreats back into Aquarius on Thursday, which can bring a refreshing sense of detachment. Mercury in Aquarius can make cool, calm and grounded decisions based on fact. This energy reflects the Mercury cycle of the second half of January, and may bring a renewed focus on events or ideas that emerged then but have been neglected since.
The end of week Leo Full Moon puts a shine on the weekend, but it too is in aspect to Saturn. You may need to balance a desire to splurge, life the high life or indulge in luxury with a sense of sticking to your limits. The Full Moon acts like a cosmic spotlight and can bring clarity to a meaningful or emotionally charged situation.
Over to you. Have you been re-prioritisting under the Saturn triggers? Is Mercury in Aquarius helping you keep a cool head? Are you being inspired by the Full Moon, or enjoying the confidence that comes from clarity?
