All of this year’s planetary retrogrades have ended, but some left big messes behind that we’re still cleaning up now. This week, communication planet Mercury and love and money planet Venus work through their retrograde shadows in the all-or-nothing sign of Scorpio. On Wednesday at 6:43 PM, Mercury changes signs from minimalistic Scorpio to over-the-top Sagittarius. After a sensitive period of agonizing over finding the right words to say, we are no longer afraid to be loud about what’s on our minds—but make sure you’re not speaking over anyone.

Last Friday there was an ambitious new moon in Sagittarius that squared off with Neptune, the planet of illusions, and action planet Mars, creating confusion about future plans and how to create a valid course of action as we took the first steps toward making changes to suit our emotional needs. This Friday, the moon meets Neptune at 11:35 AM and Mars at 9:19 PM, signifying an ending (or new beginning, depending on how you look at it) concerning our feelings of being lost at sea, which were stirred up by last Friday’s new moon.On Sunday morning at 9:27 AM, love and money planet Venus connects with Saturn, the planet of hardship, presenting the opportunity to effectively discuss your boundaries and commitments. With the moon in Aries all day Sunday, everyone is going to want to get their way, but the moon will also be in harmony with communicative Mercury and expansive Jupiter, allowing us to effectively communicate our needs. On Sunday afternoon, the moon squares off with Saturn, encouraging us to take action reflective of personal responsibility for our emotions.All times EST.
