We’re building toward a Full Moon on Saturday across the signs Aries and Libra, emphasizing relationship dynamics and the balance (or lack thereof) between “me as an individual” and “us together.”
At the same time — in fact, just 40 minutes after the Full Moon reaches its precise peak — Venus will station direct in late Pisces. It stationed retrograde on March 1 in Aries.
In the weeks since, Venus has been asking us to consider our relationships: what we desire from them; what we have or have not been receiving from them; the friends and lovers we’ve drawn to us in the past versus who we’re calling in now — or the sorts of relationships we’d like to welcome going forward.
Venus also relates strongly to what we “appreciate,” in addition to who we appreciate. In other words, what we value and our personal system of values. You could say this retrograde of Venus from Aries back into Pisces has asked us to “re-appreciate” how the value of the individual (and their values) and the value of “all of us, all together” (and collective values) relate to and inform each other. And what happens when those relationships breaks down.
Meanwhile, Mercury just stationed direct Monday morning, and is taking its time this week shaking out the kinks.
Particularly with the Full Moon energy beginning to amplify emotions, it would be wise to continue treading carefully with your communications, tech, driving, and especially with your own mind. Check your assumptions before launching into action.
Thankfully the Moon entered Mercury-ruled Virgo this morning (Tuesday), offering some affinity for details, planning, and analysis. It should also support bringing abstract ideas into tangible processes where you can test them out and notice any flaws or missing pieces.
I plan to say more about the Full Moon later in the week. There’s a lot going on in that chart, and a number of planets and points in conversation with each other in interesting ways.
For now, I’ll just note that this week seems to be offering an opportunity in the form of a choice: To orient your mind (and heart) on the way forward, into the unknown, rather than continuing to think (and feel) the way you always have.
This might not feel comfortable. The past, and what you’ve done to get where you are, holds all kinds of tangible, quantifiable specifics. But reviewing the past to learn from it is not the same as reliving it over and over. And stepping toward the future takes a certain amount of faith — even when that “future” is simply a new way of thinking of something and allowing yourself space to feel different emotions about it.
Lest your mind take over and try to drive in a moment when it would make a better passenger, the cosmos appears to be offering some assistance currently. But it looks less like an instruction manual and more like a one of those writing prompts where the second half of the sentence is missing, so you can fill it in with some spontaneous truth.
Hint: that “truth” is likely to be “truer” the more willing you are to give yourself a little time and space this week to feel into the interconnection you share with every person, animal, blade of grass, rock, and water molecule on this planet, and every atom unfolding across our entire galaxy, and beyond.
With love,
