Lessons in love and money pop up this Friday as Venus squares Saturn. Difficult conversations about relationships and finances are in the forecast as we evaluate what commitments can stand the test of time. Meanwhile, the waning Aquarius moon invites us to let our freak flag fly! An opposition to Lilith this morning gives us a penchant for dramatic flair! We could experience tension between the head and the heart this afternoon as the moon squares Mercury. Stay open to changes of plan- they’re likely tonight when the moon clashes with disruptor Uranus. Outbursts and upsets could play a factor too. Surprising turns-of-event are par for the course.

We feel the full effects of a tense square between Venus and Saturn this Monday. The weekend’s transits could have caused disruptions in your life. This transit asks us to pull lessons from any upsets. But fears and doubts about relationships and money could certainly come up along the way. Give yourself (and others) plenty of grace today. It’s easy to be harsh or cold under this aspect. It’s going to take a little extra effort to convey warmth and compassion.

The tension is building leading up to Tuesday’s eclipse. Saturday’s activations bring Sunday’s lessons. Mercury passes over the South Node, asking us to process the shadows that came into our awareness. We could find ourselves thinking about the past or even communicating like a former version of ourselves. The Aries moon makes tense connections throughout the day- squaring Lilith and Pluto. Intense and fiery emotions are par for the course. Especially as Venus squares Saturn, bringing up harsh truths and uncomfortable lessons in love and money.

We could experience tension in relationships or fear about how we relate to others today. As Venus clashes with Saturn Retrograde, we’ll be asking whether our partnerships can stand the test of time and carry us into the future. Luckily, Venus makes a supportive angle to Neptune this Saturday night, allowing us to return to love. Leaning into creativity and art can help us connect and reach higher awareness.
