🔎 Where We’ve Been: The Cosmic Context

This week, we’re still riding the waves of eclipse season, with an extra emphasis on the shifting energies of the outer planets. Uranus, Pluto, and Neptune are harmoniously aligned, working together to stir deep change beneath the surface. Think of tectonic plates shifting—slow, powerful, and unstoppable.

Uranus is moving toward a trine with Pluto in earth signs, making way for something tangible to be transformed. Meanwhile, Neptune in Pisces forms a sextile to Pluto and Uranus, bringing an intuitive, dreamlike quality to this process of upheaval. 

Remeber that trines and sextiles are the cosmic helpers, creating opportunities for flow, teamwork, and beauty to emerge from even the most challenging circumstances.

🌍 Uranus trine Pluto (earth signs): Something buried is being unearthed and transformed.

🌊 Neptune sextile Pluto and Uranus: Intuition and optimism are fueling these changes, helping us embody what we’re learning on a deep, emotional level.

 Pluto in Capricorn has been doing deep, transformative work for years, and now that it’s in its final stretch, we’re asked to compost old patterns for good. What’s falling away for you?

đŸ§™đŸ»â€â™€ïž Witchy Wisdom for the Week

Honor the Energetic Shift of the Equinox.

The Fall Equinox marks a significant moment of transition—when day and night are balanced, but darkness begins to dominate as we move into the latter half of the year. The Sun’s entry into Libra signals a shift from focusing on the self to focusing on relationships, connection, and balance.

But this Equinox has an extra edge to it. Venus enters Scorpio, squaring Pluto on the same day. Venus in Scorpio feels everything deeply—this is a passionate, primal energy that asks us to get real about what we truly desire. Where are you ready to embrace your deepest wants, even if it means letting something go?

Notice Where Breakdown Leads to Breakthrough.

Eclipse season is a time of change, and with the ongoing emphasis on Neptune, we’re being called to surrender and let go of outdated patterns. What’s dissolving in your life right now? Perhaps a belief, an emotional habit, or a way of relating that no longer serves you.

This week’s Mercury-Neptune opposition can create confusion and lack of clarity, but remember: breakdowns often lead to breakthroughs. When you feel lost or destabilized, ask yourself, “What is this teaching me about what I need to let go of?”

Have Candid Conversations in Relationships.

With Venus squaring Pluto as she enters Scorpio, relationships come into focus. This is a powerful moment to have candid conversations about what’s no longer working, what needs to be transformed, and what you deeply desire. It’s time to get real with yourself and others—Scorpio energy doesn’t shy away from the raw, the intense, or the uncomfortable.

Use the deep insights from this week to guide these discussions, especially as Mercury’s trines to Uranus and Pluto help us articulate our thoughts and feelings with clarity.

 đŸ”ź Looking Ahead: Next Week’s Cosmic Weather

Next week brings a quieter vibe but keeps the momentum going with helpful trines, Mercury entering Libra, and a New Moon Eclipse in Libra. The composting process we’re experiencing now will make way for something new, balanced, and aligned to begin.

Have a great week! Let me know what comes up for you, and don’t forget to join me tomorrow for my free workshop, Astrology in Action.
