Mercury is in harmonious aspects with Jupiter and Uranus bringing expansive, communicative and friendly energy to all signs. The area of life where this will be most obvious depends on your sign.
The planet Mercury goes direct this week, along with several asteroids changing signs this week, causing subtle energy shifts for the last full week of summer. What does that mean for your sign?
Six planets (Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) plus the asteroid Chiron are all retrograde this week, showing that it's a good time for an end of summer retrospective. The aspects aren't particularly difficult, so it's just a chance to slow your roll and strategize for the future.
The big astrological news this week is that Saturn is going to go retrograde from Saturday until Nov. 4. The idea of retrogrades may sound ominous, but they are simply part of the yearly cycle. To simplify, try thinking of retrogrades as time to re-visit, re-evaluate or re-structure the part of your life that is touched by the retrograde planet.
The big astrological news this week is that Venus, the planet of love, art, beauty and money, goes into the fiery, fixed sign of Leo, opposing Pluto, the planet of transformation and intensity.
Some of the biggest astrological transits of the year are happening this week. Mars connects harmoniously with Neptune on Monday, while beneficent Jupiter moves into the earthy sign of Taurus on Tuesday. Then Mars opposes Pluto on Saturday, and the sun moves into Gemini on Sunday.
