The week rests on two exact aspects, and both land in your dealings with other people. On Tuesday at 05:46 Venus makes an exact square to Pluto — the question of shared money and dependence. On Friday at 12:56 Mercury moves into opposition with Saturn, and that is the conversation after which something becomes final.
The mood of the week
The Moon crosses three signs in seven days. From Monday 09:45 she is in Scorpio, on Wednesday at 19:42 she moves into Sagittarius, and on Saturday at 07:56 into Capricorn. For you that is a passage through the eighth, ninth, and tenth houses: from other people's money and closeness, through meaning and distant plans, to work and standing.
The Moon is waxing. The week opens on the third lunar day and closes on the ninth, with the first quarter on Friday at 23:45, the Moon at twenty-six degrees of Sagittarius and the Sun at twenty-six of Virgo. A first quarter always sets what you began against what obstructs it; for you that falls along the line of distant plans against present duties.
The Sun spends the last week of Virgo: from the twenty-second degree on Monday to the twenty-eighth on Sunday. The Virgo season is ending, and with it the stretch in which everything was solved through order and routine.
Mercury runs through Libra from the sixth degree to the sixteenth, Venus through Scorpio from the third to the sixth, Mars through Cancer from the twenty-second to the twenty-fifth. Four planets stand retrograde all week: Saturn at thirteen degrees of Aries, Neptune at four, Uranus at six degrees of Gemini, Pluto at three degrees of Aquarius.
Where it lands for you
Venus spends the whole week in your eighth house — shared obligations, other people's money, debts, closeness without distance. Her exact square to Pluto on Tuesday morning arrives from the eleventh house, that is, from the side of your circle and shared company. The formula of the week: what the two of you divide privately comes under the influence of third parties.
Mercury is in your seventh house, Saturn in your first. Their opposition on Friday is literally the partner speaking while you resist, or the reverse. Such an aspect rarely brings anything pleasant, but it brings clarity: afterwards it is plain who is prepared to do what.
The Sun in your sixth house keeps the focus on routine and tasks to the end of the week. Its sextile to Mars in your fourth house on Monday at 23:21 is a good point to start from: there is strength, and it is domestic strength.
Jupiter in your fifth house has been widening everything tied to creativity, children, and pleasure all year. This week it takes a square from the Moon on Tuesday evening and a trine on Friday morning — first it obstructs, then it helps.
Day by day
Monday the 14th. Before 09:45 the Moon is void — begin nothing. In the afternoon at 14:35 the Moon meets Venus in your eighth house, and at 15:16 Pluto squares her. In the evening at 23:21 the Sun's sextile to Mars gives a foothold.
Tuesday the 15th. The tensest day of the week: at 05:46 Venus makes her exact square to Pluto. A hard morning; money and closeness are best left alone. At 17:38 the Moon squares Jupiter — an evening for overestimating what you can carry.
Wednesday the 16th. The steadiest day of the first half: the Moon trines Mars at 05:32 and the Sun sextiles the Moon at 06:31. Work goes well from early on. At 19:42 the Moon leaves for Sagittarius.
Thursday the 17th. The best background of the week: four soft lunar aspects in a row — a sextile to Pluto at 01:25, a trine to Neptune at 02:08, a sextile to Mercury at 18:16, a trine to Saturn at 20:48. Nothing obstructs.
Friday the 18th. A trine from the Moon to Jupiter at 06:03, Mercury opposite Saturn at 12:56, first quarter at 23:45. A dense and uneven day.
Saturday the 19th. The Moon is in Capricorn from 07:56, in your tenth house. At 14:21 she squares Neptune — clarity is easy to lose in the afternoon. At 18:29 a sextile to Venus softens the evening.
Sunday the 20th. A heavy day by feel: the Moon squares Saturn at 09:01 and Mercury at 15:50. The ninth lunar day. Make no plans.
Love and closeness
The best window of the week is Monday from two to three, while the Moon and Venus stand together in your eighth house. That is the hour for the conversation usually kept quiet.
Tuesday is the worst. The exact square of Venus to Pluto raises the question of power and of counting what you have put in, and an answer given that day will be dictated by grievance.
Thursday evening is the second good window: the Moon's sextile to Mercury and trine to Saturn give a calm, adult conversation without strain. If Tuesday produced a quarrel, Thursday is when it gets repaired.
Work and money
Wednesday morning and the whole of Thursday are the working core of the week. Use them for whatever needs concentration and agreement from others.
Do not settle questions of shared money — shares, debts, loans, joint obligations — before Wednesday. Venus passes the point of her square to Pluto on Tuesday morning, and everything discussed before that moment is discussed at peak tension.
Friday is the day someone talks to you seriously. Mercury opposite Saturn in your seventh house means a refusal, a delay, or a condition. That is not a catastrophe: Saturn does not cancel, it sets a date. Hear the date rather than the tone.
Health and energy
The week opens on a waxing Moon and rises gradually: Monday and Tuesday accumulate, Wednesday through Friday is the working maximum.
Saturn and Neptune stand in your first house, both retrograde. That is a background in which you read your own tiredness worse than usual. This week it is especially easy to confuse do not want with cannot.
Give the weekend, under the Moon's squares to Saturn and Mercury, to rest rather than to clearing backlogs. The ninth lunar day on Sunday is traditionally jumpy, and here the aspects confirm it.
How this week differs from last
Last week ran on a waning Moon and ended at the new Moon — a time when things were closing down. This week is entirely waxing: what is begun now gathers force toward the end of the month.
The second difference is Venus. She has entered Scorpio and will make your eighth house the main subject all month. Last week money and closeness ran separately; this week they run together.
What not to confuse
Mercury opposite Saturn on Friday produces the sense that you have been told no, finally. An opposition is not a verdict; it is the meeting of two positions. The real answer is not given this week: Saturn is retrograde, and everything it touches will be revisited. Write the condition down and return to it in a week.
On the eighth house, specifically
Venus stays in your eighth house until early October. This is the month in which the question of who contributes what stops being background and becomes a conversation. An Aries has a characteristic trap here: you would rather give more than discuss it, and the tally accumulates silently. This week is the first opening to put that tally on the table. Monday and Thursday suit it; Tuesday emphatically does not.
What to do this week
Schedule the conversation about shared money for Thursday evening, and resist the pull to start it on Tuesday morning.
