This week our VIP is Mercury, the trickster planet. Mercury transits stir the mental pot—triggering thoughts, conversations, and the need to connect the dots. It’s the planetary messenger, pushing us to speak, write, learn, and move. Fast or slow, forward or backward, Mercury shapes how we process reality, and sometimes scrambles the signal just to keep us alert.

Venus in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius: Venus in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius turns up the emotional heat with a bold invitation to transform your relationships, values, and finances. This aspect pushes you to be fearless about what—and who—you want, while Pluto demands depth and authenticity. It’s a powerful time to assert your needs, cut toxic ties, and realign with your long-term goals. If it doesn’t empower you or support your future, it’s time to let it go and evolve forward.

The Moon in Virgo: The Moon in Virgo puts emotions under a microscope. Feelings get analyzed, sorted, and filed—preferably with labels. This is a no-nonsense mood that finds comfort in order, efficiency, and the satisfaction of getting things just right. Messy emotions? File them under “To Be Processed.” It’s a great time for decluttering—both your closet and your mind. Service becomes a love language, but unsolicited advice might sneak in. Be helpful, but remember, perfection isn’t always the goal—clarity is.

Mercury in Taurus: Mercury in Taurus demands we slow our roll and get real about our thoughts. This isn’t the time for mental acrobatics or fast-talking fluff—think clarity, consistency, and value. Communication gets grounded, practical, and maybe a little stubborn. It’s a great time to solidify ideas, focus on what’s truly worth your energy, and speak only what matters. Trust the wisdom of the body. Mercury in Taurus wants your mind rooted and your words to grow something real.

The Moon in Scorpio: The Moon in Scorpio drags emotions into the deep end—no floaties, no lifeguard, just raw intensity. It’s secretive, investigative, and has a sixth sense for hidden motives. Trust is earned, not given, and vulnerability is treated like a high-stakes poker chip. This energy stirs obsessions, resurrects emotional ghosts, and demands honesty. It’s not about surface-level healing; it’s about full-blown transformation. You’re either in denial or doing shadow work. Choose wisely—this Moon doesn’t mess around.
