Home and Hearth:
This weekend's Cancer Moon keeps us closer to home. It's likely to feel good to be in familiar environs after a tense week in the skies. With 6 of 10 major planets in Water signs it's time to (re)connect with emotions. Mercury retrogrades, so watch for communication & travel snafus.

Mars enters Sagittarius today, where is ready to fight for his (or maybe any) beliefs. His first task is an opposition to Uranus in Gemini, so expect impulsive action, and many people to be on short fuses for the next few days. We're approaching the full moon & Mercury retrograde, too.

Live Wire:
The week begins with tense energy as Mars opposes Uranus. Think "impulsive" or "unpredictable action." Many folks will be on a short fuse for the next few days, so take care with anyone who seems spoiling for a fight. Monday folks may be reactive as Mars swims through the end of Scorpio.

Venus squares Jupiter as we approach the Taurus full moon this week. Technically a tense aspect, Venus & Jupiter are BFFs and both are in dignity at present. Great for socializing & romance, the only risk is 'too much of a good thing'. Enjoy the weekend, tense energies resume next week.

Words may be fiery and feisty over the next few days, as Mercury opposes Uranus. Saying what you think and feel are pretty much assured. Innovation is part of the mix, along with breaking out of the box and exploring otherwise strange ideas and new concepts.

This weekend the upbeat Sag Moon invites us to let serendipity rule: do some exploring, if only in your mind.
Later on Sunday, as Luna steps into work-oriented Capricorn, we may start thinking about the coming week and our responsibilities. It's going to be a very charged time, so get some rest now.

The Libra New Moon at the very last degree of the sign suggests that we follow protocol and use diplomacy. Yet as soon as the Sun and Moon meet, they wade into the dark waters of Scorpio and square Pluto in Aquarius.

Who really has the power? And what are they doing with it? 🤔

In the details...
The waning Virgo Moon encourages finishing up projects and/or attending to routine tasks as we head into the weekend. House chores aren't out of the question, either 🤷‍♂️. Yet Luna next to her South Node early on Friday suggests we could hyper-focus & miss the forest for the trees.

Tense:
This morning, the Moon moves into Leo, offering us some warm Fire in otherwise cool skies.

First, though, Luna has to contend with an opposition to Pluto. There may be some tensions, and some of us may be on a short fuse. Still, as the day moves on we can expect a more upbeat vibe.

An old fashioned scale.

Less is More (more or less)

As we round out the work week, we're coming down from the high activity of this week's full moon. Luna is in Earthy Taurus, connecting with Jupiter and Saturn. Productive if you're feeling for it, and good for general enjoyment of the everyday.
