🌍 I can't keep up with the changes!

It's pretty wild out there.

I knew Pluto would bring up the dark side, as it always does. But what does the potential dark side of Pluto in Aquarius really look like?

Aquarius energy is very attracted to technology and its promise to improve conditions in society. But at what cost?

We are starting to realise life is already irreversibly different. What will it be like in 1, 2, 5 or 10 years' time?

I don't think we can quite comprehend it yet.

Life is already vastly different since Pluto's permanent ingress into Aquarius in November 2024.

💜 We have to remember how resilient human beings are though and that this is an evolutionary process of profound transformational opportunities!

⚡ Everything feels on turbo charge

Everything looks like it's on turbo charge when I look at the alignments to Pluto right now.

This week we had Mars and Uranus conjoin exactly, and trine Pluto exactly. This energy is all in to disrupt that which can be shaken.

There is also a very tight—in fact, exact—midpoint where Neptune is at a midpoint to both Uranus and Pluto.

✨ This trio of planets can be highly inspirational about what is possible.

But...

⚠️ The temptation for quick, fast answers is where the traps are laid.

We are being trained for instant gratification and quick answers. Pluto is here to test, not molly coddle.

It's the shiny treats of quick rewards that we have to watch 👀

The vast majority of the population will fall prey... but it's getting sloppy.

🌟 There is also a collective awakening happening that can see the chinks in the armour.

🖤 Pluto knows exactly where the weak links are

Pluto is the master of psychology and uses fear as its favourite modus of operandi.

The promise of rewards "out there" without a solid relationship with "in here" is where we will all get tripped up.

🤔 What is real intelligence?

Is it simply in the mind, or are there other layers that make up our intelligence as a well functioning human being?

We can fast lose touch with our inner guidance and our own intelligence if we don't exercise it.

The dark side of AI is very real.

It's a glorious quick fix...

...and amazing too - but must be used sparingly, not as a replacement of our own minds.

If you dont use it, you lose it - thats what I fear for the future, that our incredible intelligence that is dynamic and multifaceted gets replace.

We will see...we each have to choose.

🌙 This Weekend's Energy

This weekend the Moon is in its Balsamic Phase (endings) and in Taurus on Friday.

🌿 Taurus energy is profoundly connected to flow and cannot be rushed.

Let's hope we can feel into our own sense of timing and what feels right for us as we connect to what is truly important.

💚 Venus, Taurus' ruling planet, has just gone into Virgo, making us more sensitised to what doesn't feel right.

🌬 Saturday - The Moon enters Gemini

🕣 Saturday 8:41am (+10 UTC)

The Moon ingresses into Gemini and, at that moment, Uranus is in a tight midpoint to the Moon and Mars

⚡ This is very restless energy.

Emotions can escalate very suddenly and, when frustrated, it can anger quickly.

The Moon kicks off with a lot of impatience in its Balsamic Phase.

The zero point tends to mark the tone for the Moon in that sign.

🎭 The 17 & 5 Vibration

One of the vibrations where this energy comes together involves both 17 and 5, which works best if you can become interested in other people's stories and somehow make it playful.

Gemini energy loves to play and comes alive when the energy is light and explorative.

If you can stay curious this weekend about other people's stories, connections can be lively, fun and interesting...

...which, of course, Gemini loves.

🦁 Jupiter in Leo

Jupiter is at 2° Leo.

✨ If you can build people up, they won't have to pull you down.

Stay curious and I'm sure, with all this Air and Gemini energy, you will be able to find something to talk about.

🌑 Pluto trine the Moon

Pluto will trine the Moon on Saturday as well at the ingress.

Whenever Pluto aspects anything—especially the Moon—it picks up on the slights or ill intent.

A trine (120°) is often more favourable and can be extra curious and catch what matter.

💜 With a curious, open mind, you might be more able to connect with—or see—another person's point of view.

It is also favourable for creating deeper connections in your interactions.

💚 Venus Square Uranus

Venus in Virgo will squared both the Moon and Uranus this weekend.

Once again, this energy is inclined towards excitement.

Venus in Virgo does cast a more critical eye over relationships.

People are impossible to fix though...the best advice I can give for this placement.

That's where Venus in Virgo can become frustrated.

At best -

🎶 Uranus is lively and spontaneous.

This could be a wonderful time for:

🎵 Perfecting a craft

🎹 Playing an instrument

🎧 Listening to music

💃 Dancing

🕺 Even taking dance lessons if you'd like to keep the mood high and vibrant.

If you have a lot of planets in the early degrees of your own chart, you will feel this energy more keenly.

🌑 Looking Ahead to the New Moon

The New Moon arrives on Tuesday at 7:45pm (+10 UTC) close to 22° Cancer.

🏡 The overall theme for this next cycle is the motivation to find peace and safety.

Cancer energy is all about protection.

In particular:

🏠 Home

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family

❤️ One's tribe

🛡 Preservation

The 8th vibration is very telling about the drive behind this New Moon chart.

Saturn is trine the Sun and Moon.

On a global scale, with every country—and every person—in protection mode...

...any overreach will not be taken lightly.

Cancer energy is far from meek and mild when protecting their own.

💜 Final Thoughts

There is a lot happening.

Find all the ways you can to protect your peace where it matters most.

I hope you have a wonderful week and productive week.
