This week starts and ends with some stronger energies. We begin with a firey Aries Moon trining a firey Mars in Leo and end with the Full Moon in Gemini and Mercury going direct!
One of the best ways to initiate the week is with the Moon in Aries trine Mars in Leo. This configuration does not mess around and gets straight to the point. It is all about being direct, straightforward, and cutting through anything extraneous!
If you have been feeling stuck in a rut and unmotivated, this transit can definitely help get you out of that state. This is an ideal time to initiate and start new projects while you have the wind in your sails. It is also a great time to find constructive ways to release and channel this powerful, charged energy.
Perhaps you could start a new exercise regimen to help you direct any anxiety or restlessness. Any physical practice would be great for you, especially if it also allows you to express yourself creatively!
If you feel there are feelings and thoughts that have been lingering within you, waiting to be expressed, this is the perfect opportunity. Find ways to communicate your emotions to those around you without attacking them or being too harsh. It is a true art to learn how to be unapologetically true to yourself and your needs while also being sensitive and mindful of how that is received by others.
On top of starting off the week with this energy we just described, Mercury goes direct at the very end of it and somehow compliments things. When Mercury moves out of being retrograde, it often feels like a breath of fresh air. Things feel less chaotic, messy, and unpredictable.
As we explained last week, when Mercury is retrograde, it is good to avoid making important decisions or plans, if possible, of course. Therefore, when it goes direct, you can initiate ventures you have been sitting on.
Also, it is a great time to communicate and share the thoughts and feelings that you have been reflecting on during the retrograde period. You are much more likely to feel less thwarted and tongue-tied right now than you were before. The fact that it is going direct in the sign of Sagittarius makes it specifically good to press play once again on potential plans to begin a new course of studies or travel somewhere completely new and different in the name of expanding your vision and horizons.
Last but certainly not least, we have the full Moon in Gemini on the last day of the week. This Full Moon is all about communication, mental stimulation, versatility, and adaptability. As you can see, there are very strong recurring themes and transits concerning communication this week!
Allow yourself to embody the curiosity of a child right now. Do you remember how everything seemed exciting and interesting when you were a young child and tickled your fancy? Ask yourself if you can reclaim that way of being/state of mind. This is one of the secrets to getting closer to the state of “eternal youth.”
Feeling “old and tired” generally stems from feelings of stagnation and rigidity on a psychological level that manifest on the physical one. Staying fresh, curious, and open to all the different possibilities and opportunities that life presents you is one of the most important things you can do.
Find whatever subjects or topics interest you and mentally stimulate you, and make an effort to pursue them, even if in a nonofficial context. Keep your mind and spirit sharp by engaging in the things that excite you, and remember that there is no such thing as being too old to embark on new journeys!
