Communicate More Powerfully

For me, this past week was all about finishing things up, letting go of my fears and letting other people contribute to me. It was actually quite beautiful to see what loving and nurturing people I have in my life. I felt much more present -- and open to being pampered

The two most important astrological events this week both involve Mercury -- it leaves it's retrograde shadow on Monday, and makes a challenging aspect to Pluto on Wednesday. The latter invites us to grow and stretch ourselves, to communicate more powerfully.

Monday morning starts with a Moon void of course (VoC) -- until 1:05pm EDT -- so take it easy and go with the flow. The Moon then moves into Gemini, speeding things up a little and keeping us busy.

Mercury (the planet of communication) leaves it's retrograde shadow today, so we are fully able to engage in new conversations. We have been processing things for the past two months; we can now leave that behind. To read more about Mercury's shadow phase, click here: http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/Mercury+Retrog...

Monday evening, the Sun makes a supportive aspect to Mars, exact at 8:59pm EDT; we will feel the energy of this aspect until about Thursday. This gives us a beautiful opportunity to make solid plans for our future -- to get really clear about which goals we want to pursue and get connected to what's important to us. It's also a wonderful time to connect to nature and your body, perhaps by taking walks, hikes, strolls, doing yoga in the park, etc.

On Tuesday, the Moon is still in Gemini all day; this keeps us social and busy. This could be via email and phone conversations, or directly with people in our immediate environment.

Wednesday morning, Mercury makes a challenging aspect to Pluto, exact at 10:51am EDT. This transit's energy will be most powerful from Monday until Friday of this week; it asks us to think more deeply and make space for meaningful thoughts or interactions. The tendency here might be to obsess about something. This could be a recurring thought that we can't seem to let go of, or perhaps a conversation that turns into a power struggle, because we are not willing to let go of our ideas or opinions. As best as you can, keep an open mind, let yourself relax into any obsessions or fixed ideas. Ask yourself: "How important is it?" Could you grant others the right to think differently?

At 4:31pm EDT on Wednesday we enter another Moon void of course (VoC), this lasts nine hours, until 1:42am EDT on Thursday morning. This gives us a chance to process all the connections and mental intake from the past two days. Use this time to nurture your personal and business relationships; however, whenever possible, wait until VoC phases end, before making new plans and appointments.
