Sun through Mars set the weather of the weeks. As a fast planet changes sign, the mood of the days changes with it.
Sun in
Libra
23°44′
Libra
the season
where the Sun is right now: the colour of these weeks for everyone.
The self becomes visible in the mirror of the other. Diplomatic, aesthetic, drawn to partnership and beauty, and prone to losing the self in keeping the peace. Lesson: choosing is not a betrayal of fairness.
Moon in
Capricorn
6°30′
Capricorn
the day's weather
fastest of all; the Moon shifts sign every two-and-a-half days and carries today's mood.
Feeling is contained and structured, often inherited as duty. Comfort comes from accomplishment, from competence, from the structures that hold. The shadow is suppressing feeling in order to get things done.
Mercury in
Scorpio
18°07′
Scorpio
how everyone is talking
Mercury sets the tone of the conversation, the news, the deals being made.
Thought is penetrating and investigative, drawn to what is hidden. The speech is concentrated and sometimes withholding, and the gift is research and depth. The shadow is suspicion hardening into paranoia.
Venus in
Scorpio
4°49′
Scorpio℞ retrograde
how everyone is loving and spending
Venus colours what the moment finds beautiful and what it is willing to give.
Love is intense and all-or-nothing. The instinct is to merge completely or not at all. The shadow is the jealousy that grows from a certainty that love is dangerous.
Mars in
Leo
10°47′
Leo
how everyone is fighting and moving
Mars sets the kind of effort the moment rewards and the kind it punishes.
The drive is dramatic, confident and built to be witnessed, and the anger is theatrical. The shadow is needing an audience to validate the effort.
Jupiter through Plutothe outer planets
Jupiter through Pluto hold the era. These are the slow bodies: years and decades, not days.
Jupiter in
Leo
22°16′
Leo
the year's expansion
Jupiter takes a year per sign; wherever it is, that domain is being grown into.
Growth comes through creative expression, generosity and visibility, carried by faith in the self. The shadow is grandiosity outrunning the substance.
Saturn in
Aries
10°20′
Aries℞ retrograde
what the era is building
Saturn takes two and a half years per sign; its current home is the structure being tested and made real.
The work is on action and the will: lessons in restraint, patience and choosing which battles to fight. The shadow is the inhibition of healthy initiative.
Uranus in
Gemini
5°10′
Gemini℞ retrograde
what the era is breaking
Uranus takes seven years per sign; its current home is where the old order is being shaken loose.
A generation that rewires how information moves, and remakes the future of language.
Neptune in
Aries
2°26′
Aries℞ retrograde
what the era is dreaming
Neptune takes fourteen years per sign; its current home is where the collective is imagining and dissolving old certainty.
An era that dreams of new beginnings: a pioneer mysticism, the spiritualising of action.
Pluto in
Aquarius
3°04′
Aquarius
what the era is transforming
Pluto takes twelve to thirty years per sign; its current home is where the deepest reconstruction is happening.
An era that remakes community, the future and technology, putting the collective through death and rebirth.
