You see the headlines for your own life; there is a plot twist afoot and you are doing your best to be here for it. While part you is ready to go go go with Mars conjunct the Sun, both in Sagittarius, there is an equal and opposite reaction to rein it in with Saturn’s square to this full moon. The trick is to use the Saturn energy to review where your weak spots are, where you might need to learn new skills or enroll someone else to help you. This will ensure you don’t charge off without the skills and resources you need to be successful. The byproduct of this process is that you can feel lonely and have a negativity bias to your current situation; things just feel hard. Remind yourself of how resilient and powerful you are, and that you can’t let some pessimism stop you in your tracks. Use it to strengthen and adjust your approach.
Mercury, the ruler of this full moon, goes retrograde in a couple of weeks, signaling that something is more complex/complicated than you know right now. You will have time to work through some important details, and it will probably take longer than you think. Do not try to push through aggressive timelines at the moment. Mercury is square Neptune, which tends to detach us from the agreed-upon space/time reality to open you up to a different perspective. Therefore it’s not the best time to get a commitment from yourself or others of what or when something is going to happen because no one can know. You would be served by playing with your options to honor the Gemini energy. Be flexible and practice something to see if it’s a fit or not without a commitment one way or another.
Since Mercury is slowing down in preparation for its retrograde cycle in December (12.13 – 1.1), it’s still sextile Venus (careful readers will remember these two planets were also sextile for the new moon this month). That brings some flow and rapport with others to help you out of any self-doubt. Even though you may be feeling fierce and independent with the Sun and Mars conjunct in Sagittarius, you may want to reign in/redirect your wild horses to partner with someone who can help you out of any current jams. You can have the freedom you need and work well with others. Both are available to you however be willing to adjust your thinking and attitude around the value you place on independence so that you can receive the support that’s out there for you.
Questions to Ponder: Where might I create a plan to strengthen any weak spots in my approach, and how might this alleviate any current anxiety? In what ways can I relax my logical mind to listen for messages from my intuition? How might I adjust my attitude to make it easier for me to receive help from others?
