This week really has a story arc to it, and you can feel Saturn’s presence weaving through the days, setting the tone as we move toward Saturday’s solar eclipse in Virgo. Here’s how it flows:

On Monday, the 15th, the Moon sits in Cancer, and Venus and Mars are having a beautiful conversation in the sky. It’s one of those days where connection feels easy — whether through food, creativity, or just enjoying someone’s company. There’s this nurturing vibe, a reminder of the sweetness of home and community.

Tuesday, the 16th, begins expansive and bright, with Moon–Jupiter energy lifting the morning. But by later in the day, you might notice frustrations creeping in — delays, tensions, or that sense of being stuck in traffic, literally or metaphorically. Still, those moments point to something useful. The challenge is: can you channel that heat into constructive action? Evening brings the chance to settle, share a meal, and restore yourself.

With the Moon in Leo on Wednesday and Thursday, courage and creativity are in the spotlight. Wednesday morning might feel heavy, with Saturn and Pluto stirring up resistance. But intention-setting the night before helps you meet those blocks with clarity. These are days to act with love even when fear is present. By Thursday afternoon and evening, the air gets hazier — confusion, mixed messages — so it’s best to keep things flexible.

Friday, the 19th, carries a sense of urgency — like you just want to clear your desk. The Moon goes void in the morning and then shifts into Virgo, preparing the ground for the eclipse. It’s a day for tying up loose ends and moving gently into reflection.

Then comes Saturday, the 20th, the New Moon Solar Eclipse at 29 degrees Virgo. This is the pivot point. Eclipses bring rapid change, and this one speaks to health, communication, and close relationships. Its opposition to Saturn in Pisces is a clear call: step into your authority, soften perfectionism, and honor discipline without letting the inner critic run wild. There’s a beautiful synchronicity here — it falls on the International Day of Peace, inviting us to cultivate peace within so we can extend it outward.

By Sunday evening, the Moon slips into Libra, softening the edges of the week. Balance, harmony, and connection flow back in, offering a gentler landing after the intensity of eclipse energy. It feels like a breath — a reminder to step into the new cycle with grace.
