With a waxing Moon, the general theme for the week ahead is emergence and growth, like baby steps or early spring growth. The Moon moves through Leo, Virgo and Libra, so if you know your chart, check the houses associated with those signs for a personal perspective on your highlighted topics.
Two sextile aspects create a generally flowing energy, though there may be a bit of a stop start vibe as Mars finally moves off his station degree (Monday, the start part), but Mercury starts to retrograde (Saturday, the stop part).
Here’s the week ahead overview:
Monday – Mars off station
It’ll now be easier to shake off any dregs or delays associated with Mars retrograde in Libra. Since May 6 Mars has been sitting at 9 Libra, the degree he stationed at (changed direction). While Mars has been facing forwards since May 20, his movement has been at a glacial pace at best.
Mars rapidly picks up pace this week, flying through 10 Libra by Sunday – 1 whole degree in a week! Next week, he’ll cover two degrees and from then gets back to a more normal speed. Speed = pace = progress so expect things that have been moving slowly to start to gain traction. This will bring new relief re any delays or frustrations you’ve been dealing with since March.
Wednesday – Venus in Taurus sextile Neptune in Pisces, intuition
This heartfelt aspect positively glows as it evokes feelings, a felt sense and a deeper sense of knowing. Creative and spiritual urges may blossom, and love will become more romantic. Think music, poetry and tenderness. If you need to detach from reality to pursue a dream, this aspect will provide timely inspiration. If you can get in or near the water, all the better.
Friday – Sun in Gemini sextile Uranus in Aries, excitement
The Gemini Sun skips along with quirky Uranus, currently energising independent Aries. This is a lively and engaging pairing that may create opportunities to socialise, network or brainstorm.
Normal rules don’t apply to Uranus, so use this cosmic pairing to throw off any shackles (like limitations, restrictions or responsibility) that prevent you from being your authentic self.
Individuality is top priority and the world really does need expressions of your inner light. Be spontaneous. Break with routine. Let a weird, wild or wacky idea inspire your weekend.
Saturday – Mercury retrograde
With the trickster planet up to his usual mischief a little effort won’t go astray. Allow extra time in case of last minute delays, and be flexible as plans may change on the fly. Double check details and rather than rush into new projects, take time to review, reflect and where necessary revise. For more on Mercury retrograde try this or this.
