Post eclipse integration commences via the quarter Moon in Gemini. Towards the end of the week, the Sun, Mercury and the south node converge into a medley of unsent voice notes, unfinished chores and a lonely weekly planner. On Monday, the moon moves out of ethereal Pisces and into reactive Aries, picking up the tempo to a fast paced fever dream comingling with Neptune in the early degrees of the cardinal fire sign. Upon its arrival in Aries, the lunar light of the Full Moon passes through the outer planet portal that Pluto, Uranus and Neptune form charging us with a sense of purpose. If you have been stumbling in a stew of infinite potential or an unknown future, this will be the time to react on any immediate impulse that beckons, taking note of what interests you; conversations and topics of intrigue that stumble up to the surface. Objective truths are revealed through the Sun conjunct South Node connection on Wednesday/Thursday, and a deep remembering of an inner authentic self occurs. Being able to adequately analyze the ego and conscious mind without judgement unearths skills and talents that lay dormant below the surface of unmet expectations.
Virgo Sun can actually be a sensitive placement, as it is keen on the expression of an ideal, organized and perfect structure. So much so, that one little critique can send a house of cards crashing down. Virgo sits in between Leo and Libra, the subsequent signs which align with art, creativity and balance, sandwich a sign that strives to master the technical skills that come with such expressions. Hidden talents and veiled abilities are projected through each interaction. Was there a particular hobby that was left to the sidelines when you were a kid? Did you always want to take a class, learn an instrument or study a topic when you were younger but was either redirected or discouraged from doing so? This week is substantial for revisiting those extracurriculars.
Monday 8th
The Moon moves into stabilizing yet stimulating contacts with the outer planets triggering directed and concerted actions which reflect how the recent eclipse is currently manifesting. A surge of energy arises enlivening what has been stagnant. Focusing efforts into a singular direction through the Aries moon sets a tone for the week. Dreams become solidified, understanding the practical steps to take in order to climb the mountain.

Tuesday 9th
Seeking comfort is the driving force for our actions today. The tension arises between the Moon and Mars trying to balance an internal conflict with being heard and validated for personal beliefs. The stance of another person can trigger a change in how we think or what we believe to be true, or can force us to defend our own perspective. The Moon’s trine to Venus softens this potentially difficult dynamic and offers a moment of humble acceptance.

Wednesday 10th
The Sun meets with the south node highlighting past events that were once points of contention or anxiety. It can bring up old patterns of behavior, experiences or conversations that have yet been laid to rest, shedding light on how much we have grown since the last onset of said pattern. There is a pathway towards healing through purging out old emotional build up around this situation. Shedding old skin rejuvenates the soul, lightening the load to move forward.

Thursday 11th
Digging through old conversations and dissecting the meaning between words is an important process for the day. It might feel like Groundhog Day, where topics of conversation resurface. We leave no stone left unturned with thorough investigation into every nuance of a situation. The Moon in Taurus gives us the patience to do this as it is pertinent to gather as much detail as possible in order to fully understand what it is that Mercury is forcing our hand in.

Friday 12th
Mercury and the Sun both sextile Jupiter, which bestows greater awareness and broad mindedness to see through difficult tasks. Be bold, be confident and push forth your ideas! The Moon enters Gemini today brightening the mind and curiosity of the general populace, so there are plenty of ears to listen. The chatter is nonstop, while the Moon is in Gemini and day is buzzing with constant hums of notes, plants, lists, chores, and fun times.

Saturday 13th
The Moon squares the nodes creating a bit of confusion and misdirection, this is especially so with Mercury cazimi the Sun. The planet of the mind and information is hidden by the powerful light of the Sun, fusing its intelligence with the cosmic rays and planting seeds that will become visible as the days go by. But for now the conscious mind is afloat, it’s a good time to experiment, play and not get attached to any one idea as it likely will take a whole new form next week when Mercury’s light is exposed again.

Sunday 14th
The last quarter Moon in Gemini can create some irritation by thwarting plans and activities into a new direction. Flexibility is the key phrase here. For those who lean more mutable, this can be a difficult day to feel grounded but also highly creative and ripe for problem solving. We may garner information that alters the way we work or coordinate the day. The Moon is having us feeling restless and uneasy for those who generally like to have clear guidelines.
