The Weekly Horoscope

Everyday Life / Profession:

The tension between the Sun and Pluto has now become exact and indicates that you are in a power conflict. Mercury and Jupiter are also in tension and are arguing over the prerogative of interpretation. While Jupiter invokes its high social position, Mercury keeps asking questions so persistently that it becomes uncomfortable. Venus is back in Libra, opposing Chiron in Aries. This is not pleasant either and recalls painful situations, especially since Venus is still retrograde and has to look back. On Monday, the Full Moon draws a picture that you have to endure. This picture, this situation drives you to keep investigating and not let up until you know everything you want to know. Retrograde Mercury moves into tension with Mars, which becomes exact on Friday. It takes courage to stand up to Jupiter and Mars joining forces in Leo and defending their privileges. Are there advantages you do not want to give up? Are you among those who defend vested interests? Are you too sure of your position? Do you rely a little too much on what you have achieved so far? This calls for critical self-reflection.

Relationship / Love:

Two retrograde planets (Venus and Mercury) are now constantly digging up situations from the past that you would rather leave alone. You would like to look toward a good future and feel that the other person is preventing you from doing so because they keep bringing up old wounds. At the same time, you also remember your own wounds. And suddenly it becomes more complicated again. You have probably not forgiven everything yet.

Everyday Life / Profession:

At the beginning of the week, the Full Moon once again brings the whole situation to a head (as if that were still necessary...): Something is unbearable. It has to do with feelings of power and powerlessness, and it is the people around you who - apparently - make you suffer. Perhaps you are aware that you need other people in order to perceive certain issues within yourself. Such a thought can help you reassess a confrontation. Every confrontation is an opportunity to learn something about yourself. Perhaps you made something too easy for yourself, looking at it only from your own (comfortable?) perspective. Could you perhaps have been arrogant? Retrograde Mercury and Jupiter in Leo now actually have to ask that. And everyone may consider whether it could apply to them. Retrograde Venus is now at the end of Libra, opposite Chiron, and brings up a wound that cannot heal. The wound has to do with assertiveness, which is sometimes lacking because at some point in childhood you were hurt when you wanted to have your own way. That weakened your courage, and since then it has repeatedly been a challenge to have courage and confidence. Mars and Jupiter in Leo compensate for a lack of courage. That may already have happened and become an issue this week.

Relationship / Love:

Venus and Mercury, both retrograde, are now so persistent and at the same time fascinating that you look as if spellbound at what comes next from your partner. Perhaps you feel that people will not leave you in peace, that they are looking for an argument. What is being sought here is not unrest or conflict but a new shared foundation, with more honesty and completely on equal footing.

Everyday Life / Profession:

This week begins with a remarkable Taurus Full Moon, with Chiron and Venus attached to it, though in neighboring signs. This makes it difficult to perceive our wounds (Chiron) and our strong desire for relationship (Venus). When interpersonal situations are complicated, you think it is because of others and has nothing to do with you. In doing so, you push responsibility away from yourself and miss an opportunity to recognize yourself. To help you move forward anyway, Mercury in retrograde in Scorpio will keep rubbing salt in the wounds until even the very last person realizes what this is all about. At the beginning of the week, Mercury is still wrestling with Jupiter in Leo (pride stands in your way). Then it moves more and more strongly into tension with Mars and allows more aggression. On Wednesday, you feel this very personally when the Moon once again reaches Uranus in the sign of Gemini, and you react intensely to something or someone within seconds. You cannot even think that fast. On the other hand, retrograde Mercury has taken over the thinking, goes very deep in the process, and wants you to express spontaneously what displeases you. Statements may burst out that are very true. In this way, you give the people around you a chance to understand what is happening inside you.

Relationship / Love:

Venus in Libra wants you to be in connection. Uranus in Gemini, on the other hand, repeatedly gives you the feeling that you can manage wonderfully on your own. This may be an escape from problems, but it will likely be difficult to admit that to yourself. Keep in mind that people will see through your strategies if you demonstrate your independence too obviously. Be honest, especially with yourself.

Everyday Life / Profession:

The Taurus Full Moon brings a situation to a head, one that you have been dealing with for quite some time (Pluto and its connections, power and powerlessness). Dependencies are part of your life, but they become unbearable when someone makes sure that you can no longer escape an unnecessary dependency. The other person is indeed a problem, but it is up to you to stop giving this person power over you. If you are dealing with a dominant boss, your material existence is at stake. How strongly do you identify with your work? That, too, can become a problem if you have put too much emphasis on this one option. The Full Moon describes a painful process of transformation. The Scorpio Sun and retrograde Mercury in Scorpio want to promote your independence and your creativity. However, they also demand even more authenticity and persistence. Mars and Jupiter in Leo describe a positive self-image because you have already been successful. Are you perhaps relying too much on what you have already achieved? How open are you to further learning experiences? Knowledge now has to go deeper.

Relationship / Love:

Your love life remains intense because you are struggling for your independence. Is your partner giving you too little room for this? You are fighting for recognition. It could also be that you have become too strong for your partner. Then your partner may deny you recognition because they are afraid that you will outgrow them. Pluto lets you feel your hidden fears. What are you afraid of? Do not focus too much on your partner. Stick to your own issues.

Everyday Life / Profession:

The Taurus Full Moon reminds you of a difficulty that you have not yet overcome. Mercury has turned retrograde and already brought up the issue, so you should actually know what it is about. However, it may be so difficult that you have repressed it well and no longer want anything to do with it. Then Mercury in Scorpio will keep digging until you can remember again. Pluto is also relentless. It would almost be a miracle if you could not already see which problem this refers to. Still, you may not be able to recognize it in yourself but in another person. Then this other person will draw you into the issue or mirror it back to you. We live in a time of radical revelations. The truth wants to come to light and takes every conceivable path. Sometimes the hardest thing is to forgive ourselves. Is there something you have not yet forgiven yourself for? These are the kinds of issues that must come up now. This is about your peace of mind. Be kind to yourself.

Relationship / Love:

Retrograde Venus and retrograde Mercury bring the past into play and will not let up until you have understood or realized something. This can be annoying because at the moment you would like to bask in your success and do not want to look back. Do you owe your success also to your partner? Perhaps you should think about that. Venus wants recognition and equality.

Everyday Life / Profession:

Have you already felt your newly awakened urge to investigate? You get to the bottom of certain things, and you are not squeamish about it. You owe this persistence to Mercury in Scorpio, which is now retrograde. On Monday, the Taurus Full Moon indicates that you have already discovered something important. The discovery probably will not please everyone, especially those who want to present a perfect image of themselves. That image has a crack that people can see. That is why the question now is how to preserve your dignity despite it. A confession would be one option, but Jupiter in Leo does not like it. Jupiter prefers to draw attention to something magnificent or beautiful, or even stage something magnificent and beautiful so that the unpleasant story fades into the background. Mercury moves into tension with Mars and becomes irritable. On Wednesday (Moon-Uranus), the tendency to blurt out something spicy increases. On Friday (Moon-Saturn), someone may feel affected and guilty, or offended. And you? How do you feel this week? Mercury urges you to name your feelings.

Relationship / Love:

Venus has arrived in Libra and, over the course of the week, loses her connection to the Sun in Scorpio. Venus has set quite a few things in motion that you need to examine more closely. Now the Sun and Mercury must take care of the rest. You need the courage and radical nature of the Sun, and the sophistication and persistence of Mercury in Scorpio. Schemes will come to light.

Everyday Life / Profession:

The Taurus Full Moon takes Venus in Libra along with it (on the Sun's side), as well as Chiron in Aries (on the Moon's side), and it is also in tension with Pluto. That alone already tells a whole story about power and powerlessness, wounds and their healing, dependence or independence. You have reached a delicate point, but Mercury and Venus are retrograde and have not yet completed their clarification scheme. More facts will be laid on the table, and if someone feels superior (Jupiter in Leo), they must be careful not to tumble from the throne. This person knows what the situation is, but they are too proud to admit it. So they will continue to act as if they had the power and will play their last trump cards. Meanwhile, Mercury remains "perfectly calm" (on the surface; putting on a poker face) and continues to uncover everything that must be uncovered. Mercury in Scorpio stands for truthfulness and therefore has the upper hand. Everything that is not entirely genuine will be exposed. There is no mercy, not even for those who think they are the law.

Relationship / Love:

The Full Moon brings your relationship issues to a head and can strengthen you in your decisions. Retrograde Mercury in tension with Jupiter, then in tension with Mars, "takes care of" the rest. Here, the fight is mainly with words. You must choose them wisely, because you will get to the point and certainly do not want to do more harm than necessary. However, it is very easy for something to break when you are this "charged."

Everyday Life / Profession:

The Taurus Full Moon with the Sun in Scorpio feels almost existential for you. You sense a dependency that you cannot accept. This may be a mutual dependency, but one of the two parties does not seem to see it that way. Someone feels superior (Jupiter and Mars in Leo) and does not even notice how much they need the other party. On a deeper, unconscious level, however, this person or party will sense that their power is not set in stone. With Mercury retrograde, you have a well-functioning tool for clarifying situations and putting your finger on sore spots. However, you must be careful, because in the process you may also be "enlightened" yourself or even hurt. Perhaps there is something you have not yet understood. Then you will immediately get a taste of your own medicine. The Sun and Mercury in Scorpio want to help you perceive yourself better and thus make better use of your opportunities. For this to succeed, a few critical questions must be allowed, including questions directed at yourself.

Relationship / Love:

The Taurus Full Moon describes a love story with a catch. Do you know what the catch is? Is your partner only "almost perfect"? They seem to have something in their baggage that has not yet been looked at. Can the backpack be opened? And what about you yourself? Do you not also have a backpack full of all kinds of difficult experiences? Mercury retrograde calls for honesty. You have to show your true colors.

Everyday Life / Profession:

The Taurus Full Moon brings unresolved issues with it that tend to have a negative effect on your everyday work life. Everything you have recorded as a success needs to be examined critically once again. This also involves people who were unable to share in your success. Are there employees or service providers who have not been appreciated enough? To find that out, you would need more peace and quiet than you have at the moment. Is there someone you trust completely who can look at and analyze your situation from the outside? You could now use an advisor who dares to speak with you quite openly. On Wednesday, people will speak very openly (Moon near Uranus in Gemini). This will touch on an important topic that puts you on a trail. That trail leads, by way of detours, to yourself, to the way you see and present yourself, how you take on responsibility or delegate it to others, and how you deal with the people around you. Sagittarius is sometimes accused of arrogance. Pluto in Aquarius can also indicate arrogance. Something like this may have happened in the heat of the moment, without you having intended it.

Relationship / Love:

Retrograde Venus is now in Libra and only wants harmony there. There is hardly likely to be any harmony this week. Retrograde Mercury in Scorpio has to deal with Jupiter and Mars, and it will not handle this gently. Truths have to be put on the table, even if you do not like them. Mercury does not make it easy for you. But it only means well.

Everyday Life / Profession:

The Taurus Full Moon shows once again which problems you are currently dealing with. Only in very rare cases will you already have a solution at hand. In most cases, retrograde Mercury still has to make you aware of a few issues connected with the Leo sign. With Jupiter and Mars, the sign of Leo actually has strong support. It can show its strength and present its best sides. But Mercury now cuts in and will discover and expose anything inauthentic. So if someone puts on a show, Mercury will notice and say so bluntly. Who is Mercury? Who are Jupiter and Mars? You can slip into different roles and also see the people around you in these roles. Which role do you choose for yourself? Who is your opponent? Is it also possible not to accept any of the roles offered? Who would take it on instead? The planets describe a game in which everyone takes part. You can also take on the role of pure observer, although the events will still affect you quite strongly. Emotions boil over. Perhaps you feel anger just from watching.

Relationship / Love:

In matters of love, you cannot stay on the sidelines and watch. Here you are right in the middle of it, whether you want to be or not. And here, too, you have to deal with behavior that you cannot understand. The other person is probably brazen to the extreme. They do not see their own weaknesses and act like the winner. And you? Have you chosen a role for yourself? Can there be two winners?

Everyday Life / Profession:

The Taurus Full Moon shows that you have moved another step forward. Piece by piece, the shedding takes place. Piece by piece, you become more authentic, and therefore also more vulnerable. Being this vulnerable takes enormous courage. At the same time, your strength grows, so you can handle attacks better. Now that Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio, you can counter brilliantly if someone gives you trouble. In this state, Mercury can only speak the pure truth, and sometimes that hurts. Whoever provokes it gets a clapback. On Wednesday, when the Moon reaches Uranus (in a good connection to Pluto and Neptune/Saturn), you experience your special strength. You will probably say something surprising and clever that takes the wind out of an opponent's sails. This is an important experience that gives you guidance and self-confidence for the future. You then know that you can get a delicate situation under control by creating a surprise. You can do that because you stand by yourself and your uniqueness. You have your own standards and do not need to meet other people's expectations.

Relationship / Love:

Venus is now back in Libra and still retrograde. Her program continues and moves forward powerfully. This week, things may not yet be as harmonious as Venus has in mind, but through the cleanup, you keep getting closer to the goal, even if it looks as though everything is getting worse. Relationships are in a process of change. Anyone who cannot keep up has to stay behind.

Everyday Life / Profession:

The Taurus Full Moon once again emphasizes the climax that the Venus-Pluto tension already marked last Tuesday. It could also be another, meaning a new, climax. If the latter is true, it is due to retrograde Mercury, which has already said or done something very significant that contributes to clarifying a story you have not yet fully understood or resolved. Mercury remains retrograde and now also enters into tension with Mars, which makes it aggressive. You will witness a confrontation that will affect your everyday work. As a Pisces personality, you will probably manage not to get drawn into an argument. Perhaps you can actually understand both sides involved and, for that reason alone, would not take either side. There is no clear winner here. When two people argue with each other, there are usually two losers afterward. You know that from experience. Of course, you might also identify and show solidarity with one side. That would most likely be the Scorpio side, where the Sun and Mercury are, meaning the element Water, just like you. Then you will welcome every truth that comes to light. But you could just as easily be on the Leo side if you have the Moon or planets in the element Fire. Then there is certainly conflict within you as well.

Relationship / Love:

Venus has arrived in Libra, making it clear that you currently have a difficult relationship issue connected to the past. Someone is very important there and wants to be seen and respected. Why might this person get the idea that you do not respect them enough? What have you done? Do you need to make something right or keep a promise?
