Restless but easily distracted, our moods could wander strangely this week as we bunny hop between dreamland and action. The Aries Sun and a square between Mercury and Uranus can make us long for a change and encourage us to get things done and make it hard to just rest. But the two planets which signal our emotions, Venus and Mars, are now both in sensitive, receptive, dreamy Pisces. Here they echo this spring’s ongoing Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Pisces (both the modern and the traditional rulers of Pisces) which keeps our imagination flying all season, keeps our dreams and spirituality close to the heart, but can also leave us occasionally passive, overwhelmed, floating or wrapped in illusions unless we stay grounded and on task.

If we find ourselves lost in this fog, it can actually improve our efficiency to spend time with our muse first, and then buckle down to work. Daydream, draw, pray, meditate, write a chapter in a novel or scan our seed catalogs.

This line-up in Pisces can allow us to feel vulnerable and so can help us empathize with those that are truly vulnerable all around the globe, as empathy is one of the true Piscean-Neptunian gifts. May we empathize with one another, not get mad because they make us hurt, but enough so we open our heart.

The weekend begins under a waxing Libra Moon, full on Saturday and square Pluto. This opposition between Aries Sun and Libra Moon highlights both our willful need to express ourselves and our desire to invest in our relationships. We need to find a balance, a way to share our time that both honors our inner callings and supports our beloveds, rather than feel that as an impossible imposition.

New information made push us to change our minds Sunday or Monday as mental Mercury conjunct transformative Uranus under that thoughtful, broody Scorpio Moon. Watch the headlines revenge moves and let any sudden nasty impulses wash through and release. Think through the consequences of our…
