Welcome to the first full week of Aquarius Season! Mercury and Venus are still in retrograde as we start the week, so this isn’t a big week to be rushing ahead with all of your best and most innovative ideas yet – there’s nothing wrong with waiting a bit longer for the planets to align.
Monday 24th: We start the week with the waning moon in Libra, reminding us to keep balance: work – play; fast – slow; action – rest. You may have been struggling to get our of holiday mode this moon-day, but with Mars entering Capricorn tonight, I promise the energy is coming.
Tuesday 25th: The moon is void of course most of today (0840-1428*), so while you’ll be keen to get moving with that Mars > Capricorn energy, don’t rush into it. Declutter your work space, write your to-do lists, and when the Moon enters Scorpio mid-afternoon, you’ll be ready to hit the ground running and smash out a couple of really effective hours.
Wednesday 26th: The Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio is a reminder today to take stock and review what is and isn’t working. Mercury Rx re-enters Capricorn today too, so if you haven’t had a chance to review your long term goals, today is the day to get strategic and future focused. Ask yourself what no longer serves, and get rid of it.
Thursday 27th: Now that you’ve decluttered, and reviewed, you’re in the perfect position to lock in those steps to manifest your desires, as Mercury Rx makes a harmonious angle with the North Node of future destiny. The North Node recently entered Taurus, where it will hang out for the next 18 months. This beautifully grounded Earth sign is going to do wonders for making practical steps towards our goals.
Friday 28th: With the Waning Moon in Scorpio, on this day of Venus – goddess of love and money – what better time to review your finances? Pay off any Afterpay debts etc that you can, ready to set new financial goals when Venus stations direct tomorrow.
Saturday 29th: The moon is void of course most of today, and Saturn, ruler of Saturday, likes discipline, so give yourself a real day off! The Sun is making cosy angles with Chiron in Aries today, so do something that really makes your authentic self shine – whether it’s a hike you love, working in the garden, or taking the kids to the beach. A Mercury Rx – Pluto conjunction today enhances the need for transformation – if you’re not your authentic self now, when will you be? What can you do today to manifest that version of yourself?
Sunday 30th: Venus went direct in Capricorn last night! Then the moon entered Capricorn too! It’s definitely budget planning day, and I can feel the end of Mercury Rx, the last currently retrograding planet, it’s so close! I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for a hair cut (we don’t like making beauty decisions during Venus Rx, someone might think bangs are a good idea), so book a date with the salon today.

Tarot card for the week: The Moon
Just in case you needed another reminder that this week is for dreaming, not doing, as the moon wanes, focus on rest, self-care, and tuning into your innate feminine wisdom (whether your female- or male-identifying), and the cycles and the rhythm of life. Moon rise is early morning later this week, getting closer to next weeks new moon. Consider rising with it, and bathe in the moon-rise, and sun-rise energies.
