The week begins with the intensity of Monday’s Scorpio Full Moon.
Emotions may feel heightened, and unspoken truths could come to the surface. This is a time to let go of what has been weighing you down and to embrace the process of transformation. With the day’s aspect, conversations may feel tense or confrontational. Focus on maintaining a calm perspective rather than getting drawn into power struggles.
On Tuesday, the energy shifts as the Moon enters Sagittarius. This lightens the mood and encourages exploration and a sense of adventure. The Moon forms a trine to Venus in Aries, making it an ideal time to connect with others or to engage in activities that inspire joy and curiosity. Seek out experiences that lift your spirits and bring fresh perspectives.
The Sagittarius Moon energy continues midweek on Wednesday, with a trine to Mars in Leo bringing a surge of motivation and confidence. This is a great time to take action on goals or projects that require enthusiasm and focus. Rather than holding back, allow yourself to move forward with optimism and courage.
By Thursday, the Moon transitions into Capricorn, bringing the focus back to long-term plans and practical responsibilities. With the Moon squaring Saturn in Pisces, you may feel the weight of your obligations. If you are struggling to maintain discipline or focus, step back and reassess your approach. Sometimes, taking a break can be the most productive move.
On Friday, the Capricorn Moon forms a trine to Mercury in Taurus, making it easier to express your thoughts clearly and logically. This is a good day for serious conversations or for planning out the next steps in a project. Stay grounded in practical thinking and communicate with clarity.
Saturday’s Sun-Uranus conjunction in Taurus creates a sense of urgency or restlessness. You may feel the need to make a sudden change or to break free from routine. Before making any impulsive moves, take a moment to ground yourself. This energy can be exciting but also unpredictable. Ensure that your actions align with your long-term goals.
The week concludes on Sunday with the Moon moving into Aquarius, bringing a sense of openness and innovation. With Mercury in Taurus squaring Mars in Leo, communication may feel more intense or aggressive. Rather than reacting impulsively, consider how you can redirect this energy into constructive conversations or creative pursuits. Channel the intensity into projects or activities that require focus and determination.
As Taurus season comes to a close and Gemini season approaches, this week offers a powerful opportunity to release old patterns and embrace new beginnings. Reflect on what you have learned throughout Taurus season and consider how you can carry that sense of grounding and stability forward. Use the emotional intensity of the Scorpio Full Moon to clear away what no longer serves you and prepare for the fresh energy that Gemini season will bring.
