Hi Stargazers!
The transits this week elucidate the duality of all experiences in reality. Within this duality, we have black/white, left/right, up/down, forward/backward, right/wrong. None of these are inherently good or bad—they simply represent different experiences offered to us based on our choices and actions.
Our choices and actions are shaped by whatever our mind is tuned into. Whether it’s an influencer, a politician, a teacher, a book, or a website is less relevant. Our thinking is governed by an inner switchboard that interfaces with this reality, and this tuning is either “good” or “very good.”
Something “good” is when we receive something for ourselves, whereas something “very good” is shared with others, creating a flow and circuitry. Goodness can eventually lead to a comfort zone and cycles of self-focus, while sharing and elevating the “good” to “very good” fosters growth. This concept can be difficult to grasp, as we are often preoccupied with overcoming what we perceive as negative—whether within ourselves or reflected back through others, on our screens, and in real life.

We often fail to heal and progress because we are more convinced of our inherent nature than of our power to transcend the fate shown within our stars. One task on the path to fulfilling destiny is to overcome the influence of astrology, which subtly governs and influences us. For example, most people refer back to their childhood scripts and experiences to explain their present mindset. Why? Because as children, we are innocent, disconnected from memories of past lives and their consequences, which manifest easily in the early years of reincarnation. The point here is to liberate ourselves from any deep traumas we were exposed to as children, ultimately overcoming our birth scars and birth stars.
Once we do, we can begin a new journey toward the destiny we came here to fulfill. That’s what is offered to us this week. The stars invite us on a journey inward, toward the "self" beyond external identities. This call to inner discovery encourages us to transcend inherited beliefs, societal expectations, and ego-based desires, connecting with our spirit’s true purpose. Spiritually, this journey releases false identities, clarifying and strengthening our core essence.
This week opens with Mars opposing Pluto. Mars represents our drive to act, explore, and push forward, while Pluto brings transformation, depth, and the power to face our inner shadows. Together in opposition, they challenge us to confront fears, motivations, and hidden aspects that may be blocking our path. This aspect invites us to step out of comfort zones, confront limitations, and seek our true purpose. Unresolved fears or insecurities may surface, offering us a chance to address them and prepare for a deeper connection with our soulmate.
Leaving behind comfort zones, familiar friendships, family ties, and past attachments, this week emphasizes the importance of breaking free from restrictive environments and thought patterns. Spiritually, this journey involves identifying and shedding limiting habits, doubts, or inherited fears that block growth. It’s a profound inner liberation that creates space for personal and spiritual expansion, helping us shift from living by default to living intentionally.
The energy this week is also deeply connected to the journey of soulmates and the purpose they fulfill together. A soulmate relationship is not just romantic but a profound spiritual partnership aimed at completing one’s karmic work through shared and individual spiritual goals. Before birth, our being is split into two, a male and a female side, which must be reunited in this material world. It may take many lifetimes and transformations to find each other, but this reunion is part of the process. The energy of the stars now supports this quest, calling each soul to seek alignment with their true path. As we progress spiritually, we become more in tune with our essence and, by extension, more attuned to our soulmate's presence. Aligning with our true self and purpose draws our soulmate closer, ultimately reuniting the two halves in divine timing.

The Mars-Pluto opposition is especially potent in the context of the 2024 U.S. election, highlighting themes of transformation, power shifts, and the shedding of old systems that no longer serve the collective. It represents a shift where outdated influences are replaced by new energies aligned with present needs. The election is a symbolic turning point, signaling the readiness to release systems, policies, or leaders that feel out of alignment with today’s realities. This energy stirs a readiness to challenge the status quo, exposing anything rigid, manipulative, or resistant to change. As with spiritual growth, where progress requires releasing limiting beliefs, this opposition urges a societal "cleansing" of structures that hinder progress.
The timing is right to elect new leadership, as this transit suggests a collective readiness to question existing power holders and consider a new approach to leadership. This opposition often brings suppressed issues to light, exposing secrets, hidden motives, or unresolved challenges that have been neglected or obscured. The U.S., as the remaining global free superpower, has an immense influence on the world’s economic, political, and cultural landscape. This makes the stakes of transformation high, not only within the U.S. but across the globe. Mars opposing Pluto emphasizes the urgency of electing leaders who can address these neglected or hidden challenges, rather than perpetuating outdated models of power and influence.
In times when national decisions ripple across the globe, this opposition reminds us that what happens here isn't just about one country but about a world interconnected through systems, ideals, and shared fates.
As we each individually aim to become a force for positive change, our impact and influence expand—beyond external validation or endorsement. Our actions and intentions uplift others, and our presence brings value and goodness. Those who support the journey will find support in return, while those who oppose it will face the consequences of their own negativity. Through growth and positive influence, we can inspire and benefit many, leaving a meaningful legacy that uplifts the world.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPE FOR ALL SIGNS
Aries
With Mars transitioning from Cancer to Leo, there’s a call to channel your ambitions with boldness and creativity, but the early week opposition to Pluto advises caution. This powerful aspect challenges you to wield your energy with mindfulness rather than force. As Mars shifts into Leo, it highlights your natural leadership abilities; however, balance the urge to act swiftly with a tempered sensitivity to others’ needs.
Taurus
Venus in Sagittarius opens doors to adventure and growth, yet its opposition to retrograde Jupiter in Gemini cautions against spreading yourself too thin. Focus on depth rather than scattering your attention. The square to Neptune urges grounding, as escapist tendencies may surface. Instead, root yourself in tangible pleasures, appreciating the beauty in commitment rather than distraction.
Gemini
Mercury’s move into Sagittarius adds enthusiasm to your communication, but challenges may arise as you stretch beyond your usual mental horizons. Mercury in Sagittarius invites you to explore ideas that resonate on a deeper level and to trust that not all knowledge needs immediate analysis. Allow the energy to expand your mind without losing yourself in endless possibilities.
Cancer
With the Moon moving through transformative signs this week, your emotions may be in flux, especially as Mars opposes Pluto early on. This aspect underscores the need to assert yourself while letting go of emotional armor. As Mars moves into Leo, find ways to express your sensitivity with confidence, allowing your heart to lead rather than your fears.
Leo
The Sun’s trine to Saturn grounds your natural dynamism, helping you plan and direct your energy responsibly. This harmonious aspect strengthens your resolve, allowing you to shine in areas where commitment and patience are required. Harness Saturn’s influence to bring stability and longevity to your ambitions, building something that lasts beyond this moment.
Virgo
With Mercury in adventurous Sagittarius, you may feel an urge to step out of your comfort zone and explore new mental vistas. However, Neptune’s influence can cloud logic with idealism, so tread carefully. Use this energy to balance your detailed approach with a bigger-picture perspective, merging precision with vision. Trust in the unknown, embracing growth rather than over-analysis.
Libra
Venus’ opposition to Jupiter pushes you to balance your innate desire for harmony with your need for authenticity. Under the Venus-Neptune square, you’re challenged to be honest about where you might be idealizing relationships or situations. Rather than seeking perfection, focus on connection and vulnerability. This week is a call to trust yourself and let others see who you truly are.
Scorpio
Pluto’s position at 29° Capricorn intensifies your journey of transformation. This final degree emphasizes the importance of facing unresolved issues, particularly around control and letting go. With the Sun and Moon both in Scorpio early in the week, a deep internal examination may arise. Release attachment to outcomes, and allow vulnerability to pave the way for genuine change.
Sagittarius
Retrograde Jupiter in Gemini may bring old lessons back for review, especially under the Venus opposition. Reflect on where your beliefs may have led to rigidity. Embrace Jupiter’s expansive energy to open up new paths of understanding, focusing on personal growth that integrates both risk and sensitivity to others. Challenges aren’t failures; they’re chances for richer insight.
Capricorn
Saturn’s trine with the Sun underscores a time for pragmatic self-reflection. Retrograde Saturn asks you to slow down, assess your ambitions, and ensure they align with your deepest values. Lean into this energy to rebuild structures that honor both your drive and your well-being. Trust that authenticity, not mere achievement, brings lasting fulfillment.
Aquarius
Uranus’ retrograde in Taurus brings unexpected shifts, especially in the areas of stability and personal values. This is an ideal time to reconsider rigid ideals and broaden your empathy. The Moon in Aquarius later in the week encourages self-reflection, allowing you to see the world not just as an outsider but as a compassionate part of the whole.
Pisces
With Neptune retrograde and squaring Venus, clarity in love and creativity is necessary. Resist any tendencies to idealize or escape. Instead, focus on connecting with reality in gentle, nourishing ways. Neptune’s influence encourages you to bring your dreams into grounded, actionable plans. Commit to one step at a time, trusting that healing can occur without needing to bypass challenges.
