EP 116: Venus + Pluto join forces

On the heels of last weekend’s Solar Eclipse, we get some fresh, optimistic, and motivating energy. Venus joining Pluto on Saturday could give you the strategy to win the long-term game and Mars squaring Jupiter could give you the impulse to get it going.

On one hand, we’re still in the eclipse portal and Neptune is still activating your subconscious, so if you feel sleepy and worn out, honor your body’s messages.

On the other hand, Mars (ruler of our muscles) is squaring Jupiter, making it feel like you could move a mountain if needed. Beware of illusions, delusions, and red flags that you might be ignoring!

All caution aside, this is a dose of “can-do” attitude we’re all needing to push through the end of the year, so enjoy any newfound hope and inspiration.

The big event of the week comes during the weekend when Venus joins forces with Pluto, giving us a glimpse of what her forthcoming retrograde (12/19-1/29) will be like. This will be the first of 3 meetups between the planet of love and money with the planet of power and destruction.

I will continue to remind you: do your Christmas shopping now, put a few dollars in your savings account, and step away from the cable news networks. Know that this is part of a necessary cycle. What goes up comes down, and what goes down will come up.

You may have some intuitive hits this weekend about your money, your commitments, and your values and how they need to be reprioritized in the New Year. The Sun squaring Neptune on Sunday encourages you to cast your vision for the long haul.

The planets this week want you to zoom out and see the big picture. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
