Ever get suspicious when you hear too much good news at once? I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but overall this week’s transits look pretty good. And no, I have not forgotten about Saturn square Uranus. It’s just that (relatively speaking) this week is an island of peace. Maybe you should take advantage of that. And since we all have to spend the rest of the year living under the shadow of that Saturn-Uranus aspect, we have to make hay while the sun shines (as any decent farmer can tell you).
Early in the week, there are two exact aspects that will tend to make your connections with others work more smoothly. Late Monday night, we have Mercury conjunct Neptune. This can be a great time for finding the right words to make peace with an enemy, or to make things more peaceful with a friend. Keep in mind though that Mercury conjunct Neptune in Pisces may be empathetic and understanding, but it’s not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to fine detail or technical work. If you’re doing your taxes this week, better double-check your math.
Tuesday gives us Venus sextile Saturn. This is an incredibly useful aspect when it comes to relationships. Anything involving Saturn may not automatically sound romantic, but hear me out. When the sweetness and cuddliness of Venus is working in tandem with the strength of Saturn, it may actually be one of those rare times when kissing someone’s boo-boo to make it better might actually (sort of) work. Take practical action too, of course.
The middle of the week also gives us Sun sextile Saturn. This is a good time to take that occasionally rampaging ego that comes with Sun in Aries (put the machete down, Aries friends, I’m talking about the other Aries… not YOU), and put it to some good constructive use.
So it’s a week of love and light and good intentions, more or less. However, that sort of thing needs to be expressed out in the world in a firm manner if it’s going to get anywhere. On Friday, you may find that sort of thing easy to do, as Mercury sextile Pluto is exact. This can be a good time to have one of those “we need to talk” moments. However, never, EVER start an actual conversation with the phrase, “We need to talk.” It sets up a conversation with a few seconds of stress that neither of you need. Just spit it out. #AriesSeason
