General Tendencies

Everyday Life / Profession:

A total Solar Eclipse takes place on Wednesday (Leo New Moon). Eclipses have a long-term effect, and this time it has to do with the "opened envelope" that already became visible as a constellation last week. Mercury's good connections to Venus and Uranus indicate that surprising news comes to light, or that the news from the previous week gets reassessed. Mars arrives in the sensitive sign of Cancer on Tuesday. Some news hits sensitive spots and hurts... This is about relationships that lack a healthy foundation, or in which people deceive each other (Venus-Neptune opposition). It is also about a power imbalance (Mercury-Pluto opposition) that prevents relationships on equal footing. The Moon emphasizes the theme of power on Tuesday. Perhaps someone wants to silence someone else, but it already seems too late. The news is already out. During a Solar Eclipse, someone who has (too much?) power and puffed themselves up runs into real problems. The sign of Leo in connection with Pluto opposite describes gigantomania. Those who fly too high get too close to the Sun...

Relationship / Love:

The tension between Venus and Mars becomes more noticeable because Mars is now also changing signs. Mars also comes into tension with Neptune in Aries, making fighters look weak. Venus in Libra would like to be courted. She dreams of life as a princess. Where is her rescuer? The hero is currently suffering shipwreck or being exposed as an impostor. In the positive case, he has a great deal of empathy.

Everyday Life / Profession:

On Tuesday, Mars arrives in the sensitive sign of Cancer, and this makes the tension with Neptune (in Aries) stronger. You notice that you are running out of energy or strength, or that you lack direction. Did you want too much? Were you too sure of yourself? Or can you simply let your projects keep going with little effort? Pluto in Aquarius can make someone demand transparency. This requires confessions - now. But because everyone wants to protect themselves and their loved ones, the truth comes to light only slowly, little by little. You might think this is also happening because someone wants to savor the effect of every single piece of information. But you can truly see some facts only when they are right in front of you. You like to hold on too tightly to the beautiful image you have formed of a situation or of someone (Venus-Neptune, planets in Leo, Saturn in Aries). If everything is watertight, you have nothing to fear. Then the planets describe something magnificent, and with Cancer Mars you take care of everyone who needs it.

Relationship / Love:

Mars in Cancer indicates that you are not planning any further conquests. Did you want too much, or are you simply satisfied with what you have received? Venus in Libra tells a different story. Only now is she really starting to dream. Perhaps someone is idealizing you and has not yet understood that you have reached a limit. But you probably have not said anything either.

Everyday Life / Profession:

Venus in Libra is opposite Neptune in Aries and describes a longing. People dream and hope for more than life and other people can make real. Mercury is in the sign of Leo, opposite Pluto, and lets someone "talk big." But Uranus and Neptune let information seep through and ensure that others also have their say. They put the embellished picture into perspective. Mars moves into the sign of Cancer and is therefore no longer only in tension with Venus, but also with Neptune, which weakens his power as a lone fighter and hero. At the same time, this is also a chance to rely more on togetherness - and on a grand scale. The Leo Solar Eclipse (Wednesday) is a turning point whose extent you cannot yet foresee. The magnificent development described at the Full Moon two weeks ago is passing its zenith. This happens when someone exaggerates, presents things more positively than they actually are, and holds on to this image.

Relationship / Love:

Venus in Libra and Mars in Cancer, in tension with Neptune, invite imaginative play. Mars can also become active in the house and garden, and Venus can offer a little culinary pampering. The planets in Leo love luxury, just like Venus in Libra. Enjoy what comes your way, and do not expect this state to last. Live in the moment!

Everyday Life / Profession:

Mercury has reached the sign of Leo and opposes Pluto. This allows you to "think big," and you should not let yourself feel intimidated. The two kite figures mentioned last week together form an "open envelope," in which Uranus (in Gemini, as you probably know) occupies an important position. Information tumbles out here and spreads within seconds thanks to modern technology. This makes decisions necessary and calls Mars into action. But Mars is moving into the sensitive sign of Cancer and can hardly intervene there, especially while in tension with Neptune. Mars has to take care of emergencies, family, and domestic matters. The connection between Jupiter and Saturn works very well, but it needs an authority. As an individual, you can accomplish little. As an official, you can do more, although you then have to follow the rules that others force on you. A lot now gets "dictated from above." You need to recognize that, otherwise you cannot react at all. The information tumbling out gradually creates a picture. To see it, you must not pounce on every single message. Instead, you should simply take a break and let the overall situation sink in.

Relationship / Love:

Venus in Libra reminds you of all the beautiful things that can happen in love. You start dreaming... Mars in Cancer would have the necessary empathy to read your wishes in your eyes. But for that, Mars first has to settle into the sign of Cancer and come to terms with Neptune in Aries. This week has romantic potential that only a few will experience. You could belong to the chosen circle.

Everyday Life / Profession:

Now Mars arrives in Cancer and activates you. But in what way? You do not want to harm anyone and are very cautious. This stands in stark contrast to the planets in the sign of Leo and their connections. Perhaps you only feel strong in secret? Or it is the other way around, and you act as if you were full of strength while actually struggling with your energy levels? Something is not right here, something does not fit together. If you want to hide something, it will come to light sooner or later. The planetary pattern is well connected and has great plans. The Leo New Moon is a Solar Eclipse. That alone is enough to understand that something significant is happening here, something that will continue to have an effect for a long time. The more honest you can be, especially with yourself, the more positively this constellation can work. Perhaps now it is also about taking care of yourself so you can slowly recharge your batteries. In fact, the planets in the element Fire provide quite a lot of energy. With Neptune and Saturn in Aries, however, contradictions appear, such as lack of energy, deception, too much or too little willpower, and you have to deal with them.

Relationship / Love:

During this time, many things are contradictory, including in your private life. This has to do with self-assessment. Perhaps you have contradictory ideas about yourself. Then you should not be surprised if your partner does not know how to deal with you. If you behave in a straightforward way, it will become easier. So first of all, find a clear line for yourself and do not focus too much on your partner's expectations.

Everyday Life / Profession:

Mercury in Leo opposite Pluto describes big, powerful words. Mercury is at the apex of a kite figure (on Tuesday together with the Moon) and activates your thinking, wording, speaking, and also negotiating. The connections from Mercury to Venus and Uranus indicate creative word choice and interesting ideas. You can show people what truly matters to you. The Moon then also activates Jupiter (vision, generosity, foreign matters) before it reaches the Sun on Wednesday and forms the New Moon, which is a Solar Eclipse. This makes this week once again a very special one. It reaches far into the future and brings you into a special role (if you do not already hold it). You must now stand at the forefront and be a role model for others. You probably enjoy this position because it suits you and because you have the required abilities and personality traits. Did you have to wait a long time for this moment? If you were fooling yourself and others now, the reckoning would come later (October/November).

Relationship / Love:

Pluto in Aquarius, opposite Mercury in Leo, must now acknowledge your true greatness. A partner can easily slip into Pluto's role and would do well not to work against you (anymore) now. They can and will be proud of you! The kite figure is a positive constellation, and Venus is, after all, also involved in it. There is also a second kite figure that inspires dreams.

Everyday Life / Profession:

At the beginning of the week, Pluto and Mercury oppose each other, while Mercury receives support from the Moon on Tuesday. Since this is a kite figure, with Mercury (in Leo) at its apex, this planet has an outstanding function. Mercury represents thinking, speaking, and making contacts. Pluto indicates that very important, profound topics are involved. You may experience this personally. Then you have to master special challenges in everyday life. But you also see it in social issues, where different attitudes clash. A creative solution is needed so that conflicts do not get out of hand, and Venus and Uranus are responsible for that (the side corners of the kite figure). The Moon passes Jupiter before it reaches the Leo Sun (Wednesday: New Moon, Solar Eclipse), making things, people, and events seem enormously important and magnificent. On Thursday, the Moon reaches the Virgo sign, and you are once again sensing, thinking things over, classifying them, and with a little luck, understanding them too. Most of the time, you understand things only in retrospect anyway. Mercury then also reaches Jupiter, which gives understanding a boost. On Sunday, the Libra Moon with Venus helps promote mutual understanding.

Relationship / Love:

Venus and Mars are still in tension with each other and indicate problems. At the same time, however, this is also a sign that you are in a relationship and are not turning away from each other completely. Venus in Libra opposes Neptune and points to daydreams. What are you dreaming of? Are the dreams completely unrealistic, or is there hope? Your partner gives very cautious signs that you almost overlook.

Everyday Life / Profession:

Venus in Libra is a "serenditpity" for you. It has many connections to other planets and, with its love of justice and harmony, can influence them. Perhaps you now find yourself in the role of Venus and do everything you can to calm people down or to show them that there is another side to the coin. The Moon starts in the sign of Cancer and then becomes the Leo New Moon, which is a Solar Eclipse. Eclipses indicate that events are part of a larger context and will have long-lasting effects. During a Leo Solar Eclipse, everyone who thinks they are royalty or behaves that way needs to brace themselves. The grandiosity that was already visible at the last Full Moon is now showing itself again, because Mercury-Pluto is making bold pronouncements. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the sign of Leo is especially strongly occupied (Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Jupiter). Someone may impress you greatly then, but perhaps you know their weak points and even dare to point them out, shaking the throne on which this person seems to be sitting. Words have that much power now.

Relationship / Love:

The element Fire comes into your life mainly from outside, but of course you also have Fire yourself and can spread it. You probably do not have to do much for that now, because with Venus in Libra (Air!), the Fire is gently fanned by your mere presence. The fact that your presence is so strong now also has to do with Uranus and Pluto, in favorable connection to Venus.

Everyday Life / Profession:

The constellations draw the image of an open envelope, with surprising information coming out of it. These are topics people would rather have kept under wraps. Whom can you trust? Whom might you have trusted too much? But truly wonderful news can also appear. This week is once again about something magnificent (emphasized Leo sign and Leo Solar Eclipse), something people can or would like to be proud of. Mercury opposite Pluto makes you face the truth. This is also about dreams connected with unusual preferences and very special friendships, where people naturally keep a few shared secrets as well. On Tuesday, Mars reaches the Cancer sign and forms a tense aspect with Neptune. You will have to come up with something. The direct and uncomplicated path seems impossible. You will have to twist and turn to reach your goals. This may also have to do with the fact that you want to hide something. You do not like letting others see your cards, and you still have a trump card hidden up your sleeve.

Relationship / Love:

Now it is about orienting yourself toward your dreams and ideals. What is not perfect yet can still become perfect. You need and have more patience than you have had recently. Something probably happened that gave you hope. It did not have to be anything big. A special glance, a single sentence that is very true... That can happen again now (Mercury-Pluto).

Everyday Life / Profession:

The strongly emphasized Leo sign now receives additional reinforcement from the Leo New Moon (a Solar Eclipse!). You could see it as an exaggeration. Mercury and Pluto oppose each other and indicate that someone is proclaiming the truth and using it as a means of power. This can quickly backfire, especially when you feel far too convinced of something and ignore the fact that there is another side to the coin. Words are also bigger and more powerful than actions now. Mars governs actions, and it enters the cautious Cancer sign. In addition, it is in tension with Neptune. Someone seems hesitant here. Perhaps someone simply says and does nothing anymore because they realize they are moving through a minefield. This Mars constellation suggests secrecy and shady dealings. If you use it positively, you will now do a great deal for the disadvantaged and the weaker. However, this selflessness does not fit the emphasized Leo sign at all. So you can assume that someone is presenting a wonderful illusory world and wants to paint over weak spots with it. Some even do this by helping others and letting themselves be praised for it.

Relationship / Love:

Venus and Mars in tension with Neptune describe a relationship world in which you can no longer be sure what your partner actually has in mind. This also has a romantic side. Daydreams and idealizations are very likely now. You idealize your partner because they have something that you apparently lack. However, the relationship is precisely what is encouraging this missing quality.

Everyday Life / Profession:

Mars moves into the sign of Cancer, opposite Capricorn and in tension with Venus and Neptune. This configuration feels like someone gently knocking on your door because they do not dare to approach you spontaneously and simply say what they want from you. Instead, they may even look for flimsy reasons just to be near you. The planets in the sign of Leo tell a very different story, however. Here you have a deep connection with someone and can speak the truth openly, even if the chapter you are talking about is difficult. The Leo New Moon on Wednesday is a Solar Eclipse and describes an important moment connected with someone close to you. Can you bring the connection with this person to a new level and make it even warmer and more intimate? Or do you reach a limit in communication? If so, can you overcome it? The configurations offer support, so the planets will not be to blame if you can no longer find the words. Perhaps you only need to give yourself a little push because you are afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing.

Relationship / Love:

The planets are all in favorable connection. This makes it easy for people to be in connection as well. Shared themes reveal themselves. It is also about your desire to move through life with more joy. In some moments, you are still getting in your own way a little, but opportunities to make contact are now constantly presenting themselves. And who knows, perhaps this New Moon has a gift in store for you.

Everyday Life / Profession:

On the one hand, you now have a Leo New Moon (Fire element), which is a Solar Eclipse. On the other hand, there is a lovely triangle of Pluto, Uranus, and Venus in the Air element. The planets in the Air element fan the Fire by bringing interesting news. Unfortunately, a few negative qualities of the Leo sign and Jupiter also become activated. These are feelings of superiority and the associated disregard, pride, vanity, and arrogance. Is there someone around you who fits these descriptions? Then you should ask yourself why you are dealing with this person. It looks as if they impressed you. Perhaps you also competed a little? Pluto in Aquarius constantly calls on you to recognize your own part in the situation. The more you manage to do this, the less you will let people impress you and get drawn into their pull. This week also shows signs of daydreaming. Perhaps it is precisely that person who makes you realize what you yourself are dreaming of?

Relationship / Love:

With Venus, two kite figures have now formed, and they inspire hope. One of these two figures points to the sign of Leo, toward your counterpart. This means that encounters this week are never insignificant. They are truly charged with idealizations and projections. Take a calm look at who and what comes your way now, and what it triggers in you. Surely a very exciting matter!

Everyday Life / Profession:

The Moon moves on Monday from Cancer into Leo, where it becomes the New Moon (Solar Eclipse). This once again brings your successes to the forefront. Mars moves into the sign of Cancer on Tuesday, in tension with Neptune. For you as a Pisces personality, Mars is in quite a favorable position because you can now score points with your reserve and modesty. You should simply stay true to yourself and your values. That can be quite a challenge when other people "besiege" you and encourage you to let yourself be put in the right light (spotlight?). You would rather withdraw now, enjoy your success quietly, and continue working with increased enthusiasm. That will hardly succeed. The energies in the element Fire (Leo and Aries) are overpowering and receive an additional boost from other planets. However, the planets also indicate that you now have a great opportunity to renew your understanding of yourself and free yourself from old beliefs that have artificially kept you small.

Relationship / Love:

Who idealizes the other person more? That would need to be clarified... Since you are currently very much on the road to success and a kite figure has also formed, with its tip pointing to Neptune, it looks as if you are being idealized. Can you confirm that? Or do you still need to realize yourself that you are actually pretty cool?
