Sun in 4° Aquarius in the 12th House
To take the bold steps into self-discovery can be both a daunting and liberating feat. The week begins with us taking a hard look at the deepest, and potentially darkest aspects of our nature. Yet this ability to look into our shadows shows the strength of character in the individual who undergoes such endeavors. To know thyself is the theme of this Sunday morning, and the rewards of such actions reap tremendous benefits. Be kind to yourself as you undertake this excavation into the deep. With the honorable and innovative Aquarius exalted in the sky, we have the ability to view such shadows in a new perspectives that will assist in the rising of our truest natures. Introspection, honesty, and compassion are the guides that will help you mend the relationship between the light and shadow. Be kind to yourself.
Moon in 14° Gemini in the 4th House
The moon’s attraction energy reaches its peak during its first quarter phase. With this being a waxing moon, we are sure to feel its effects vibrating faster and higher towards its summit. Just as the waxing moon brightens the night, so does its luminescence reach from the depths to the forefront of our minds. With the moon in Gemini, there are auspicious conflicts as our internal needs are amplified in the sectors of private life and domestic affairs. There is an invisible, yet palpable drive that is aligning inner needs with the direction we aim for. The clever, witty Gemini rays are showing the way forward between two routes of life, and allowing us to make bold new choices. You may develop changed allegiances, a shift in priorities, or quite simply new emotions for long standing matters. Follow your instincts, and revel in your ability to balance the scales between the polarized natures that are your subconscious and ego.
Mercury 23° Aquarius in the 1st House
Developing new thought patterns can seem both difficult, and simple simultaneously. Beyond matters of changing your mind, Mercury is offering a change in perspective. As conflicting as these new perspectives may be with the reputation of your previous train of thoughts, there is an opportunity to understand yourself in new beautiful ways. Where some doors may have appeared closed, they are now open and inviting as you understand the core of your natural talents in a new light. Run with this train of thought, and ride its momentum to the many open doors brightening before you.
Venus in 19° Capricorn in the 12th House
If you’ve got it, flaunt it. Flaunt it and revel in your powers of seduction. Maybe not sexual seduction, but allow your inner beauty to shine like a fire that draws in creatures seeking warmth and comfort. Whether you decide to be vivacious and virtuous, or severely sultry; beauty is power, and it's high time you allow yourself to bank on it. Being comfortable in your skin, and adhering to your own values are the tools that will determine the attraction you inspire as you emerge from your chrysalis state. Looks may only be skin deep, and that’s ok, because once you’ve drawn them in, there is so much more at the heart of your being. Use your evolved power of discernment to take your pick from the throng with the decisiveness of a general. Invoke your power and let some air beneath your wings. Fly butterfly, fly.
Mars in 8° Taurus in the 3rd House
It is the drive coursing through your veins amplifying the powerhouse that you are. Where you’ve once procrastinated, you exert initiative. Honoring your commitments to yourself has become higher on your list of virtues, and the drive to succeed is ever present in your thoughts. So much so, that the current path is beginning to feel like the only path there has ever been. There may be a little friction as our inner most desires conflict with habits/cycles we are learning to release. Mars is highly passionate, and Taurus is persistent, so a little frustration is natural. Lean not into your anger, but seek to understand the nature of its source. Lean into the nurturing patience of Taurus when mars’ more destructive nature spikes. This is a natural lesson of impulse control. Channel this energy to where you need it most. Stay the course.
Jupiter in 8° Aquarius in the 1st House
In the day where everyone is wearing masks, there is an ironic spike in the power of individuality. Go Figure… Jupiter joins mercury in the first house amplifying the creative genius and our ability to project such brilliant rays. This is the chance to drop the “mask” of fitting into whatever molds you previously thought you had to fill. The awkward quirk, the uniquely high giggle, and all the imperfections that illuminate the canvas of your beauty are highly appraised during this time. Keep this in mind as you take new chances. Be your best advocate with the faith that you possess all the tools to your succession.
Saturn in 4° Aquarius in the 12th House
The trials you’ve faced, the lessons learned, and all the work you’ve put into your evolution is highlighted at this time. There is a sharpness in your eye that sends a very clear message. You are not to be underestimated, or overlooked. Saturn joins the Sun in the house of secrets and karma to shine a light on your ability to pivot and adapt. This is evident to others, but especially you. To see what you are capable of in its most absolute brilliance will inspire you to take daring new actions, and succeed in bold new ways. Know your worth, and raise your prices. Set the tone of your evolution.
*** Generational Planets
Uranus is 6° Taurus in the 3rd House
Roll with the punches. As a generational planet, Uranus doesn’t change house or sign as often as the inner planets. Actually, much hasn’t changed in a week besides it ending retrograde. With that, we can expect less cataclysmic changes to take place. Change has been steady on the horizon, and we’re finding new ways to cope. Yet these disruptions in the house of communications, neighbors, and short travel are actually inspiring us to be more creative, and open with how we communicate. You may have noticed, due to recent community disruptions, that we are relying more and more on our social networks and media streams. With there being less of a physical connection overall, the world is slowly putting more stock into our subtle intimate needs. For those who have addictive personalities, and are unaccustomed to all of this new alone time, find healthier habits and addictions until mental health assistance is available. Life coaches and psychologists should see an uptick in business, as people will begin to understand the hustle and bustle of the previous generation has suppressed some underlying issues. That’s the power of silence and restriction. Forced independence is showing a LOT of us who we truly are and where adjustments can be made to lead more fulfilling lives, allowing us to be better people to one another. Lean into it.
Neptune is 19° Pisces in the 1st House
Transcendence, illusions, dreams, and inspiration are the main themes of neptune, and it is in its home sign Pisces. The imaginative, compassionate, and unselfish sign of the zodiac is a mutable water sign, allowing us to transition into this new age with patience (for most). See, pisces is the water sign that most accurately reflects the ocean in all its beauty and potentially destructive nature. We’re all out at sea, and must transition into this age with the full respect that the ocean demands. Pisces is also the most empathic of the Zodiac, being the last in line, it has reflections of every other sign. That is why it is imperative that we find some sort of anchor (family, hobbies, faith, therapy, etc…) to keep us stable when the inevitable storms rise. Neptune is of course another generational planet, which means its influences will be permeated as above and so below for quite some time. Also, many constructs and illusions we’ve come to know as fact will be slowly shifting away as the intuition of pisces rises within the collective. Communities will begin to flourish once again if we allow ourselves not to be consumed with distractions that would aim to separate us. “We’re all in the same boat.” is the theme here, with the bright side of pisces, it would be beautiful to see us all arrive at the shores of the New World. A voyage back to what it means to be human.
Pluto is 25° Capricorn in the 12th House.
There has been an invisible shackel deep within the subconscious of mankind that is being lifted during this transition of power and influence. Ok, maybe that was a bit extreme, but there is a reawakening of personal power arising in the children of this age. Pluto can spend 12 to 31 years in any given sign, and with this being the planet of power, death, and rebirth in the house of karma, secrets, hidden talents, and the subconscious mind… we can expect a collective blossom of evolution. The children are realizing that the world they are inheriting, is NOT currently fit for the needs of their souls or… sparks. Away with outdated customs of division, intolerance, and detrimental illusions. And quite frankly, these new enlightened and loving children of the world are quite savage in their approach. “By any means necessary...” They don’t mind throwing certain stagnant, counterproductive variables overboard… And they have every right to. The harbingers of change have been born, and are of age to take the reins.
Evolve…
