This Week:
Mercury goes direct to reignite clarity, truth, and purposeful communication.
Venus semi-squares Neptune to challenge illusions in love and creativity, pushing for grounded ideals.
Sun squares Neptune urging us to align dreams with reality.
Sun enters Capricorn for grounding ambitions, building structure, and preparing for long-term success.
Hi Stargazers!
.
The week opens up with a Full Moon and closes with a Solar Ingression. These bookends offer a powerful opportunity to conclude Autumn and transition into Winter, a period spanning from Capricorn to Aries. For those in the Southern Hemisphere, the Capricorn ingress marks the beginning of Summer. However, the archetypes associated with Capricorn (discipline, structure, and ambition) and the zodiacal progression toward Aries remain consistent, but are experienced within the context of Summer's warm and expansive energy. More on this in the Capricorn Season write-up.
During the Full Moon in Gemini, Mercury, Gemini's ruling planet, goes direct in Sagittarius. After its retrograde, we will be going over mistakes we’ve made over the past three to six weeks. It’s almost like we have been wandering in a field, unclear about where to go or what to do, but things are beginning to clear up. No matter how learned we are, or how rich in knowledge we may be, there are areas where we lack practical application. Retrograde may, for many, be a time of confusion and a sense of being lost and a time when we see the need for self-awareness and adaptability. With Mercury direct, it’s time to learn from our mistakes that have been reflected back to us the past three weeks.
Mercury in Sagittarius emphasizes expansive thinking and spiritual wisdom, so this shift can help resolve misunderstandings and recalibrate long-term goals. Be mindful of overconfidence or impatience as the energy redirects.

Purify, Transform, and Renew This Sagittarius Season.
“This is an adrenaline-packed month of light and miracles! People may be a bit careless and carefree, which is great, but it can have its obvious downsides. We all need to be a bit diplomatic when it comes to crowded spaces and shopping malls during the holiday season. ” - Excerpt From: Zodiac Hacks
The Sagittarius archetype brings miracles and growth by means of testing where we stand on our path. Sometimes we get too distracted from what we need to be working on and miss the signs and magic altogether. In this transmission, you can tap into these archetypes and draw them into your life for the month and the rest of the astrological year. This only comes around once a year.
On Tuesday, there is some minor tension between Venus' forward-thinking, innovative desires and Neptune's dreamy, escapist tendencies. This transit creates tension in relationships and self-worth, with a tendency toward idealism or disillusionment. It may evoke emotional responses, such as pride and its fall when faced with temptations. Use setbacks to strengthen self-awareness and humility. Focus on turning emotional challenges into opportunities for growth and transformation. Ground your expectations in reality. Neptune’s illusions can be transcended through passionate detachment, allowing you to see the bigger picture.
Wednesday brings up a challenge between personal vision and spiritual ideals as the Sun finally squares off with Neptune. This transit challenges clarity and confidence, creating confusion about your goals and identity. It mirrors the spiritual tension we face as we struggle to align our dreams with reality. Lean into trust and faith, recognizing divine guidance even in moments of doubt. Use this tension to refine your vision, turning darkness into light. Ground yourself in practical actions while nurturing spiritual insight. Use Sagittarius’ optimism to counter Neptune’s escapism, maintaining focus despite uncertainty.
