I sent next week’s forecast out with this week’s forecast’s title. Here is the real forecast for this week. Apologies for the confusion!!
This week’s planetary contacts are mostly great. The big picture is showing freedom, imagination, and new ideas that can make you stronger and wealthier. At the end of the week and through the weekend, I’m seeing close relationships needing freedom and breathing room as Venus conjoins the South Node and squares Uranus.
Mercury retrograde continues the usual communication glitches that center on the Cancerian realm of emotions, family, food, and child care. Meanwhile, the 3 “Gods of Change” outer planets line up in harmony with one another, with Neptune appearing at the Uranus-Pluto midpoint. You might find that plans and changes are playing out with relative ease. Matters fall into place as if by magic, as if the cosmic slot machine is lining up a triple match for us all in our own way– especially the fire and air signs. Specifically the early degrees of fire and air signs.
I like to use waning Moons to clean, clear, and get organized. I have been decluttering like crazy. Getting rid of those years-old stashes and stores that are just taking up space, and releasing them to find new owners at the thrift shop has become kind of a creative mission for me.

🔴 Sun square Saturn
Slowdown. More “no” than “yes” in today’s skies. A cold, serious vibe presents obstacles and challenges.

📒 Sun conjunct rx Mercury
The midpoint of Mercury retrograde. This is when forward momentum begins again (even though Mercury is still retrograde for a while). Mine your notes and files for good ideas you can take into the future!
