When the week kicks off, the Moon is waxing. She is large and getting larger as she reaches her climactic peak on Thursday. As a result, you will feel a crescendo of emotional energy during the first part of the week. Notice how you end up staying up later and later. Notice how your dream state becomes more active. Pay attention to the messages coming to you in the night. The other big news this week is Mercury’s directional change on Tuesday. Finally it is safe to sign contracts and buy things with mechanical and electrical parts.
There is an emotionally-charged atmosphere on Monday thanks to the Moon’s transit through the extreme water sign of Scorpio. People will be hot or cold. There will be very little middle ground. Control issues are at the forefront. Get to the heart of the matter when it comes to uncomfortable situations that arise. Tackle the root cause instead of just dealing with surface events. On the workfront, it is a good time to do investigative work. Go deep. It is a good day for problem-solving. Your detective-like mind is sharp and determined. See things through to the finish. It is a good day for follow-through.
Tuesday is the day that Mercury goes direct, after the past three weeks of apparent backward motion. Now is the time to clear up any miscommunication that happened during its retrograde period. Interpersonal communication is back on track. Directions and transportation are clear once again. The day itself is great for meditation. It is the day that Mercury “stations”, or stands still. As a result, our minds stand still. It is a good time to quiet the brain and go deep within. If you are looking for inspiration in this department, consider the album, “Let there be Peace” by Sirgun Kaur. This beautiful album contains a magical 11-minute version of the “Ajai Alai” mantra to encourage the “invincible nature of the soul. We chant it to reprogram our mind, so we can conquer our lives with courage and dignity to be a beneficial presence to humanity.” Enjoy and go deep.
On Wednesday, the Sagittarius Moon keeps the energy light. Laugh, have fun and elevate each other. Dive into books that inspire you. If there is an event – either live or virtual – that speaks to you, take time out to indulge yourself. Go to a class, a kirtan or some sort of ceremony. Indulge your curious mind that wants to explore, learn, grow and be enriched. Tonight, take a loved one out to a restaurant with ethnic cuisine. Overall it is a day to expand your mind and your horizons – in all directions!
The Full Moon on Thursday happens in the grounded sign of Capricorn. It is a time when truth is coming to the surface. Information is revealed. As a result, you may find it necessary to make a sharp turn in the road. Be open to taking a new direction. At the same time, be present to the powerful emotions rising up within you at this time. Honor the feelings that come. Express yourself. The tension here is between the nesting instinct that wants to take care of domestic needs and the desire to be out in the world conquering big dreams and pursuing ambitious career goals. Perhaps you are so focused on your work that you are not spending enough time at home with your family. Maybe you are so consumed with family issues that you have completely neglected your desire to accomplish educational or career goals. Events coming to the surface at this time are helping to point you to areas that need attention. It is necessary that you find the balance.
Get to work on Friday. It is a good day to focus and concentrate on the job at hand. Keep the blinders on so that you don’t get distracted by matters that you shouldn’t concern yourself with at this time.
Be open to spontaneity this weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday are full of surprises if you simply let them unfold naturally and organically. Listen to the inspiration that comes and be sure to follow your heart. Gatherings of like-minded people will be rewarding.
