Astrology of the Day
Bravery might need some assistance from logic. Strong feelings push for quick moves, while patience helps us avoid overreactions. Slow down and confirm what’s true. An active and opinionated mind could interfere with our ability to forgive and let go of judgement. Be curious rather than defensive. While we have the energy and focus to build something real, there will be moments when we lose sight of why we’re creating it. Relationships will ask more of us than expected, but none of this negates the work or makes it less worthwhile. Maturity means moving forward even when the path is unclear, commitment means staying the course even when it's uncomfortable, and the most enduring things are built not in moments of inspiration, but in the unglamorous, persistent showing up that no one sees, but everyone eventually benefits from.
MORNING : Capricorn Moon conjunct Mars : Drive, determination, and the willingness to do what needs to be done. Emotional clarity about what we’re willing to work for and what we’re ready to release because it's not worth the effort. There's no room for sentimentality here; only : Does this serve the long-term goal ? If yes, build. If no, let it go.
THIS WEEK
This week stirs up emotional resets and sharp intuition where nobody gets to hide from their feelings, their commitments, their motives. The potential for bringing forward that which has been hidden from view and to reveal the secrets that lie beneath the surface are increased this week. We can expect lively communications and an ever-changing news cycle; much of what we learn is likely to be shocking or disruptive. What slips out now reveals what’s been hiding between the lines. Truth doesn’t destroy — it clarifies. And clarity is the beginning of liberation. Let disruption do its job. We are being asked to look inward, dig deep, face what we’ve outgrown, and understand the shadows so thoroughly that they no longer run the show. This week asks for honesty without oversharing, rest without retreat, and patience without silence. The cosmos favours those who listen before they act.
The Sun makes five major aspects and, at the end of the week, shifts into Sagittarius, trading secrecy for movement and curiosity. It’s the shift from internal audit to forward motion, the moment when what we’ve been examining starts to take shape in the real world.
Mercury Retrograde slides back into Scorpio to dig up buried stories and reminds us of every unresolved conversation we thought was totally over.
Wednesday’s New Moon in Scorpio seems destined to bring about dramatic revelations and course-changing events as it makes strong aspects to ALL the outer planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The Uranus effect on this New Moon means we can anticipate disruptive events not only on Wednesday but in the days that follow. People with natal planets or points in the final degrees of fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius) could behave irrationally and impulsively, not giving thought to the long-term ramifications of their actions. Pluto's influence on this New Moon invites us to reclaim our power, both individually and collectively. Mercury Retrograde’s influence on this New Moon asks us to revisit facts that we thought we already knew and had processed.
