I’m well aware that everyone is tired of bad news. I do my best to deliver even the most challenging astrology with a dash of optimism. But this coming week? I’m taking a deep breath before I launch into these horoscopes. It’s by no means the “worst” week of this year’s astrology, but it’s not easy.
Action planet Mars enters Libra on the 6th, a sign where he struggles to assert himself. Mars then makes a supportive trine to Uranus on the 8th: a shock to the system that encourages risk taking. Then—and this is the roughest part of it—on the same day, Mars faces off with Saturn. This is a once-in-two-year aspect that brings roadblocks and frustrations. Mars then faces off with hazy Neptune on the 9th, an aspect that makes us sluggish and has us questioning what’s real vs. what’s a dream.
To put a cherry on top, this is all happening during a Full Moon in Aquarius on the 9th. In stark contrast to the glamour of Leo season, this full moon delivers a much-needed reality check.
This week is tough, but will also feel like a “final battle.” There’s a lot of growth and some well-deserved ease on the other side.
