We’re in the balsamic phase of the moon as the week begins, a time that’s usually reserved for wrapping up projects, laying low and resting. But with five planets in Gemini by week’s end, we’re going to be far too overstimulated to take a nap.
A rare alignment occurs on the 2nd when expansive Jupiter trines life-changing Pluto, an aspect that realizes ambitious projects and beckons major shifts in our collective worldview. This aspect takes a bare bones idea formed back in 2020 and fills in the details, pushing it into another creative dimension.
Mercury enters Gemini on the 3rd before meeting up with expansive Jupiter on the 4th, bringing a joyful, playful and expansive attitude to communications. Venus meets the Sun on the 4th (or, as astrologers say Venus is cazimi, meaning in the heart of the sun) amping up romance, art and beauty. Then on the 6th, there’s a revitalizing New Moon in Gemini. This New Moon is for getting curious and expanding intellectual horizons.
The week ends with a hard stop as Venus squares off with taskmaster Saturn on the 8th, initiating a process that will continue into next week of slowing down to integrate all this new information.
