Your Weekend Astrology Is Here!

Let’s begin…

Friday

Friday is ruled by Venus. Venus is in Gemini approaching the bendings of the Nodes of Fate, this transit perfects on Monday of next week but we will be feeling its frequencies today and into the weekend. Venus teaches us Love, money, beauty, pleasure, balance and harmony. Venus teaches us about what we value, our sense of worth and what we desire to join with. Venus in Gemini is teaching us to take pleasure in conversations, thinking, movement and exploration of the world much like a butterfly travels through a garden…lightly, joyfully and experimentally.

However, as Venus approaches the bendings of the Nodes of Fate there is a letting go, a surrendering of something we love or take pleasure in. The bendings represent a fork in the road, a threshold of fate where a choice must be made.  Do you move forward, backward or do you stay in the same place? Venus is asking us to make a choice or decision somewhere in our lives.

The ruler of Venus in Gemini is Mercury. Mercury is in Leo stationing retrograde today. We may need to look at our past to figure out our future. We may need to look deep within the self, seek retrospection and reflection, before making a choice.  Mercury Retrograde asks us to review, revise, redo and go over matters so we may fine tune and be crystal clear on the path ahead. Mercury in Leo is asking us to listen to our hearts and the Divine Intelligence found in the heart. We are asked to quiet the mind, let go of interruptions and distractions and focus within for answers. We are invited to step into the Temple of the Heart and listen to its insight.

Notice what placements you have in the Mutable Signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) as these will feel the frequencies of the bendings and the powerful calling to make a choice or decision somewhere in your life.

Make the time to listen within this weekend, as Mercury in Leo sextiles Venus in Gemini today, and this harmonious transit will help us meditate on what is best for us and what the Divine wants for us to do.

Saturday

Saturday is ruled by Saturn. Saturn is in Aries cleaning up our sense of identity and the way we show up in the world. Saturn in Aries is asking us for a fresh start. Notice where in your life you can start new. I was thinking this morning of the following quote attributed to Einstein: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Where in your life do you keep doing the same thing and expecting different results? Maybe it’s time to do things differently. Approach people and situations in a new way. Being willing to see different perspectives and try new approaches. Try something you’ve never done and see what happens.

Saturn in Aries is teaching us to develop self-awareness, sovereignty and confidence. One way I’ve been working with Saturn in Aries is on building self-confidence and letting go of shyness. Saturn is a Teacher and we can learn to be our own Teacher. You can listen to your Inner Guide (Your Soul) and let it guide you into new possibilities and beginnings in your life. How can you become your own Teacher? Listen to your own wisdom. Build self trust and trust in the Universe.  During this Saturn in Aries period think about what you wish to begin. What new horizons are you now ready to explore, what new adventures are you now ready to embark on? 

Saturn in Aries is favorable for all Fire and Air Signs. Check your placements so you can take advantage of these frequencies.

The Sun in Cancer square Chiron in Aries, and we have an opportunity to heal. Notice what needs healing in yourself and in your life. It’s a good day to practice self-love and self-care but above all self-kindness. We can be so hard on ourselves. Take easy. Slow down and care for yourself and loved ones this weekend. The Moon in Taurus sextile Sun in Cancer will help us connect with our loved ones. Spend quality time with those you love. Connect with your pets, family, friends, significant others and community. Great day to do something romantic and meaningful if you are in a partnership. Great day to show others in your life that you care for them. Spread Love and Good Will this weekend!

Sunday

Sunday is ruled by the Sun. The Sun is in Cancer giving us an opportunity to connect to home, family and to balance our emotions/feelings/intuition. Cancer is ruled by the Moon. The Moon enters Gemini at 6:22am. It’s a great day to socialize, talk, learn and travel short distances. Maybe check out new places in your town. Visit a restaurant you’ve never been too. Act like a tourist in your own city. Have you ever done that? It’s fun! Try it, it’s a fun way to get to know the sign of Gemini and its butterfly-likeness!

Moon conjunct Uranus in Gemini invites us to step out of our comfort zones and do something new and exciting.  Something unpredictable may happen. There maybe a schedule change or delay. Practice flexibility, patience and adaptability.

The Moon sextiles Saturn and Neptune in the morning, and we may need to find a balance between resting and getting things done for the week ahead. Neptune wants us to chill, listen to music, count clouds and spend the day at the beach but Saturn wants us to be responsible, hard working and stop wasting time on idle things. Find a balance. Find what feels right for you and do that. It is a highly intuitive day so listen to any insights, aha moments, signs or synchronicities the Universe may place in your path. It’s a good day to pray, meditate and connect to the Divine.

Moon trine Pluto in Aquarius for most of the day. Pluto teaches us about our capacity to transform and renew ourselves and our lives. What needs to transform in your life? How can you renew yourself? Pluto is metamorphosis, power, death and rebirth. Pluto is a process of Alchemy. Somewhere in our lives we are going through a deep death and rebirth process. We are surrendering, letting go and allowing alchemy to occur.

Pluto teaches us about passion. What are you passionate about? What lights your fire? Explore that today. Follow your passions. And as Joseph Campbell once said, “Follow your bliss.” Start today.
