The Weekly Planets and Stars

Mixed Emotions

Mars, now retrograde, slowed things up a bit for all of us.  Now on the same day we have a Full Moon in Leo the Lion, Saturn, the planet of structure, development (master of tasks) turns retrograde as well.  The Sun and Mercury conjunct in Aquarius, and all of this happens just steps ahead of a lovely Venus transit into Aries.  Big things happen while Venus shifts her flirt from one planet to the next.   What does it all mean?  It’s stop and go, review and explore.  Go for it and hold back.  Confused? 

Hold Your Horses

With Mars and Saturn retrograde, it’s time to put your big projects-the ones that have been sucking up all of your time like a sponge-and put them on a table.  Look them over with the eye of a stranger.  Tweak ideas and approaches, if need be, and then look at it again.  You’ll start to ask yourself if you’re doing what you really want to do, if you still want to do it, or if what you’re looking at is what you originally had in mind.  By the time things start moving forward in 3 or 5 months, you’ll be confident and sure that you thought it through and you’ll be ready to forge ahead.

Get Up and Go!

There’s a Full Moon in royal treatment Leo.  That alone is reason enough to kick back and enjoy the lighter side of life (it’s also a good time to show people the respect that you’d expect in return).  There’s also a Venus transit.  I love a Venus transit.  Love is sweeter, friendships grow.  Soak in all the beauty around you, but be careful not to break the bank doing it.  Find joy in the simple things, because sometimes they’re really the biggest.  If you’re single, when Venus cozies up with Uranus towards the end of the week, make sure you’re out and about; you might just bump into some interesting possibilities.

So while the more serious side of life slows up a bit, the romantic side of life could be waiving the checkered flag.  Now, hopefully, you get the “hurry up and wait” flavor of the week.  Put down the laptop for a bit.   Hands were meant for holding.
