Though Mars is still retrograde (possibly tripping up the best laid plans) there are some very sharp and distinct occurrences this week, particularly involving the planet, Mercury, the planet of communication and thinking.
Mercury is often the messenger, the trader, the commercial salesperson, the character in mythology who is the only one that goes in and out of ‘hell’ unscathed! He is the ‘conscience of the Hero’. This week Mercury aligns with Neptune on the 23rd, then Chiron on the 27th, both days positioning themselves as the ‘gates’ into the deeper meaning of this week’s Full Moon. In other words, there is more of awareness, whether good or bad, as you enter the territory of the Full Moon, which often brings things out in the open — clarity and the decision to act. Regardless, the Full Moon aligns with Jupiter, so protection and opportunity are also there. Enjoy the later part of the week remembering that when Jupiter is around it also unleashes the more overindulgent aspects of life, too. Some very savvy investment or financial opportunity could surface on Tuesday as Sun and Pluto sextile along with the Mercury combos. Once you cut the deal, then step back and examine any ‘magical thinking’ that may arise on Saturday regarding planning for future contracts or journeys. Saturday is a great day to talk about possibilities, but the suggestion is to do the research in the following days to make sure you are choosing the right venue.
