We are heading into the Full Moon on Wednesday night. This day is also considered to be a day that will give us protection for the rest of the year.
As the week starts, four planets are in the air element. That sets the tone for the week. The Moon is in Aquarius, Jupiter is in Gemini, the Sun and Mercury (our communicator) are in Libra, and of course, the South Node (which teaches us what energies to avoid) is also in Libra.
The element of air is about communication and understanding, socializing and connecting. It can help us create friendships. On the other hand, too much air can also bring unbalanced energy, a lack of focus, and a fractured nervous system. In order to create balance on the other side, we can use our breath. It doesn’t have to be a deep meditation. Breathe deeply for a series of 10-15 breaths just to relax the body. This can definitely help you focus your energy. The Zohar, the primary text of Kabbalah, tells us that through breathing we can achieve a level of prophecy.
Monday, Mercury moves to Scorpio, and we find ourselves desiring deeper conversations and magnetic situations. Venus, the planet of love and relationships, is also in Scorpio until Friday and that intensifies that desire. Intensity can be good or not. It really depends on how we use it. Scorpio energy wants to go deep down to the core of the universe in order to decode the mysterious. Remember, all the information we need is inside us; we just need to learn how to access it.
Monday is the monthly conjunction between the Moon, which now is in Pisces, and Saturn. Saturn can limit emotions but also can clarify situations. Be careful of falling into depression or sadness, especially now that we are in an important time of the year when we can transform any judgment into mercy. The Kabbalists explain that this week we are building our capability to bring blessings into our lives.
Wednesday night is the Full Moon in Aries (impulsive and dramatic), while the Sun is in Libra. This aspect is about learning how to best distribute our energy and not to drain ourselves. The Moon is in opposition to the Sun, and oppositions make us compromise—learn how to integrate two forces. And here, the two forces at hand are leadership and interpersonal connection. Our task is to combine the two and balance power with heart.
Friday, Venus moves to Sagittarius and gives us the ability to connect with our loved ones. Travel, study, take a class together, or bring some spiritual aspect into your relationship. The opposing side of Sagittarius will urge you to avoid commitments and relationships. Observe where you are in that range of awareness.
