This week feels like a big buildup. Saturn will retrograde back into Pisces next week, and that shift signals another period of rethinking and reassessing. There’s also a lunar eclipse and full moon coming up, which adds to the sense of anticipation.

Saturn in Aries has been all about forging new paths and bold leadership, but now with Pluto in Aquarius emphasizing collaboration, there’s tension—people want strong direction, but many are uneasy with top-down control. As Saturn dips back into Pisces, collective second thoughts, a “buyer’s remorse” may escalate for some about the direction things are headed.

Early in the week, the Libra moon supports conversations, negotiations, and balance. It’s good energy for smoothing things over, there is a possibility for confusion —clarity is key. Venus in Leo comes in to ignite creativity, romance, and passion, making Monday and Tuesday especially vibrant for connections, playfulness, and even magnetic encounters.

By midweek, the energy shifts. The void-of-course moon and then the Moon in Scorpio calls in an intensity to push us inward. These days feel more therapeutic, like the right time to dig deeper, reflect, and work through puzzles or challenges. It’s not about quick fixes—it’s about uncovering truth, step by step.

As we move toward the weekend, Sagittarius energy fires things up again. It’s a perfect moment for seeking, adventuring, and releasing energy outdoors. But Uranus throws in a curveball—unexpected detours or surprises may surface. How we respond to the disruptions matters more than the disruptions themselves.

And then there’s the bigger picture: Pluto in Aquarius continues its long transformation of systems and society. Change is unavoidable, even if we resist it. Our challenge, is to meet it consciously—see how these shifts can help us evolve individually and collectively.
