Astrology of the Week

Monday begins with the Moon in detailed and meticulous Virgo and sees Mars crossing Saturn's path - there may be some tension at work or a need to push action forward and come across barriers in the process. The Moon eases this later in the day when it shifts into lovable Libra and sets up Tuesday and Wednesdays nice Venus aspect to the Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune conjunction. This is a lovely aspect promoting generosity, warmth, self worth, creativity and style - be sure to take advantage of this gift from the gods to alleviate stress and bond with partners and colleagues. It's not a time for personal striving - rather a time to realise that we're not alone in struggle and there is immense worth in our relationships with others. Thursday sees the mood change when the Moon enters Scorpio and Mars and Pluto trade off - practical action is the keyword here with an intensity brought by Pluto and the Moon to transform and breathe new life from the old. However, this positive movement will face barriers with Fridays Sun/Saturn square - this hints at restriction, conformity to rules we'd rather not face and bumping generally with authority. Saturday sees Venus moving into Taurus (a sign that it rules). This once again emphasises the themes of creativity, art, nature, beauty and relationship and Taurus offers Venus a practical bent - a time for enjoying simple pleasures - food for example. The week is rounded off with even more intensity as Sunday sees a full moon in Sagittarius. Sagittarius is a sign of growth, optimism, philosophy and learning and this may be a nice weekend to be merry with friends and enjoy the company of others.

In summary then an action packed week the some lovely healing and almost hippy like vibes brought by the transits of Venus, some pot stirring intensity and an optimistic and bright Full Moon. This is a week for listening, caring and sharing so spread the word!
