SHIFTING GEARS with FINESSE
Go easy on yourself if you're feeling restless and irritable Monday. Though the Virgo moon can be productive, she doesn't like to be bothered by trite criticisms. Whether you're at work, home or running errands it's a good day for catching up with yourself - and ignoring everybody else! Kidding, but it does help to work independently under the light of The Virgin who is traditionally called, "One Unto Herself". Throughout the day she gets bumped by a string of aspects from other planets which feels like inconsiderate shoppers at the store, grocery carts bumping into yours at every corner. Forgive and forget. Tuesday there's a breath of fresh air as our Earth's satellite moves into airy Libra readying herself for a delicate balance of fullness Thursday at 9:40am. Prior to that - Wednesday a good day to get centered while also shaking hands with chaos (the necessary Libra motto). Libra isn't necessarily unemotional but doesn't like the sensation that there might be something undetectable lurking below the surface, and there surely will be with this full moon due to Pluto, Mercury and Mars all putting in their two cents!
Mercury has been lingering languidly in Pisces for quite some time and is about to get caught up in one of two shifts this week - tossed out of the Piscean Jacuzzi into fast-forward Aries. The shift isn't until Sunday so if you're working on any poetry or art lately & want to make the most of this creative time, the window is wide open 'til then.
Wow, this sure is a wordy blog - but I can put it on Mars as he chisels away at the last degrees of Gemini, making sure you say everything you have to say -- but PLEASE don't forget to sprinkle your words with tact! Thursday evening after the full moon hits (but still sticks!) the warrior planet moves into Cancer and gears shift yet again. A good time (2 months) for being more productive at home, attending to family matters and all that domestic stuff. Cookin' it up - be it on the counter or...on the counter...(wink-wink) the weekend offers excitement. Pluto and the Sun - the furthest planet out and the closest one, respectively, hook-up and we should all be able to see the deeper meaning that has been hitting us over the head all week. LAstly, Sunday's gregarious moon in Sagittarius offers strength found in new philosophies & insights, probably in regards to relationship improvements.
It's a tough week to navigate but if you can roll with it and shift gears instead of grinding them, you'll come out more powerfully jazzed by understanding the meaning of compromise which doesn't have to mean self-sacrifice. The lesson is: things are not black & white in the "me" vs. "we" department. Pretend you're a butterfly growing a third wing - to reach new heights in your relationships.
