This week the planets place extraordinary pressure on your most important relationships. The stakes feel high, and expectations soar to bubble-bursting heights. Yes, some bubbles will inevitably burst. That’s one reason to resist living inside them.
The good news is that you will know where you stand. Mercury’s retrograde dance comes to a merciful conclusion on Monday, and it becomes easier to speak your truth and to get on with whatever you’ve sidelined. That sense of forward momentum will quickly accelerate as Mercury headlines a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini on Wednesday. For those with whom this eclipse interacts, news will come that shines a light on your situation. But can you dance with the shadow it casts? Lunar eclipses don’t leave room for negotiation, so a final chapter will be penned and there’s no going back.
Meanwhile, Venus and Saturn merge in Scorpio, ushering in a relationship phase that can feel deeply cathartic. Erotic too. But not snug as a bug in a rug. Nope, this is not a sappy Hallmark phase you’re about to enter. And the conjunction of Mars and Pluto in prove yourself to me Capricorn further underscores a need to drop your agenda before you drop your drawers.
Handle the heat with a raging heart-on and come from Love. That may feel risky: moving beyond your fears, and releasing the baggage you carry as a commodity, along with the artifice that compels you to do so. And yet, with so many cosmic eruptions, getting real is about the only advisable risk worth taking this week.
