Tuesday brings a Virgo Full Moon which highlights the polarities between your souls dreams and the practicality of bills needing to be paid. The Virgo Moon expects details, efficiency and accuracy where the Sun in Pisces demands you bask in your souls’ yearnings.
Normally, Mars spends about 2ish months in a sign. However, this reverse passage sees Mars spend 4 months in Scorpio and 4.5 months in Sagittarius (inclusive of shadow time). He doesn’t enter Capricorn until September 27!
This is a long time for Mars to be focused on just 16 out of 360 degrees of the zodiac, shining a bright spotlight on one or perhaps two areas of your life.
This morning, I went to a meditation group that meets once a month. It’s held on the other side of Brisbane so I left extra early in anticipation of caffeination, and to ponder the astrology of the week. When I arrived, I discovered that the room had been double booked, and if the group still wanted to go ahead with the meditation, then we’d all meet up at a local beach- better location but no coffee shops!
Projects and plans that have been on hold or difficult to get off the ground start to gain momentum after the false start feeling that was January. The week offers smooth and supportive planetary angles that will help you pick up from where an uncooperative January left off.
Fresh from a Full Moon in Leo yesterday, the week begins with a spot of Mondayitis with only the Moon initiating planetary action to start the week.
She will make an early morning link to sombre Saturn, setting the tone for a bit of hi-ho, hi-ho, it’s off to work we go.
Mercury and Pluto’s previous entanglement occurred late December where situations surrounding communication, the way we think and our thoughts are back on the table. Caution with your minds inner workings, words and logic may be required as Pluto’s obsessive nature combined with Mercury’s trickery can confuse or skew issues that can be easily solved by paying closer attention.
The week begins with a slow and serene Taurus Moon, working her way towards full come Sunday.
Under the bull’s influence, you’re invited to slow down and enjoy some personal indulgence. A Taurus Moon is perfect for a relaxing massage, a hair appointment or luxuries that spoil your body and mind.
Tuesday evening will bring excitement and unpredictability in love as Venus links with Uranus in the form of a friendly trine. This fiery connection will bring back some spark after Saturday’s serious Venus/Saturn meeting. If you felt the cold, dry or harsh separateness that Saturn can bring, Uranus’ aspect may bring a thrilling, unexpected and welcome shift.
The Moon continues to diminish in light in preparation for Sunday’s New Moon. As she quietly completes her waning cycle and begins anew, the rest of the heavenly bodies make for an intense start to the first working week of 2016!
Just as the Moon reached its culmination last week and is now waning, so is 2015. Slowing down, reflecting on what has been and planning what is to come fills our thoughts. So it is no surprise that Mercury is involved in this weeks major aspects.
