The week turns around home. Venus stands in your fourth house and on Tuesday at 05:46 takes an exact square from Pluto in your seventh — the partner against the family, and not as a metaphor. Then on Friday Mercury moves into opposition with Saturn: a small question runs into a large principle.
The mood of the week
The Moon crosses three signs: Scorpio from Monday 09:45, Sagittarius from Wednesday 19:42, Capricorn from Saturday 07:56. For you that is the fourth, fifth, and sixth houses — from home, through joy, to tasks and the body.
The Moon waxes all week, from the third lunar day to the ninth. The first quarter falls on Friday at 23:45: Moon at twenty-six degrees of Sagittarius, Sun at twenty-six of Virgo.
The Sun runs through the last week of Virgo, from the twenty-second degree to the twenty-eighth, and stays all week in your second house — money and your own resources hold the focus. Mercury crosses Libra from six to sixteen, Venus crosses Scorpio from three to six, Mars crosses Cancer from twenty-two to twenty-five.
Retrograde: Saturn at thirteen degrees of Aries, Neptune at four, Uranus at six degrees of Gemini, Pluto at three degrees of Aquarius. Four out of ten is a lot — this is not a week for final decisions.
Where it lands for you
Venus is in your fourth house until early October: home, family, parents, the question of where your place is. This week she passes the sharpest point — the square to Pluto in your seventh. The formula of the week: partner and family pull in different directions, and both consider themselves right.
Mercury is in your third house, Saturn in your ninth. Their opposition on Friday is when a domestic conversation suddenly runs into a worldview: an argument about scheduling becomes an argument about how one ought to live.
Jupiter in your first house has been enlarging you all year: more visibility, more weight, more temptation to promise. This week it takes a square from the Moon on Tuesday evening and a trine on Friday morning.
The Sun is in your second house and Mars in your twelfth, with a sextile between them on Monday evening. Money is supported this week, but quietly: not earning, ordering what already exists.
Day by day
Monday the 14th. Before 09:45 the Moon is void — begin nothing. At 14:35 the Moon meets Venus in your fourth: the best domestic hour of the week. At 15:16 Pluto squares them. At 23:21 the Sun sextiles Mars.
Tuesday the 15th. The week's peak: the exact Venus-Pluto square at 05:46. A hard morning, and the weight comes from your partner's side. At 17:38 the Moon squares Jupiter in your first — an evening for over-promising.
Wednesday the 16th. A steady day: the Moon trines Mars at 05:32, the Sun sextiles the Moon at 06:31. At 19:42 the Moon leaves for Sagittarius, into your fifth house — the evening lightens.
Thursday the 17th. The best day of the week: 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. The Moon is in your fifth, and that is a rare pairing of lightness with support.
Friday the 18th. A trine to Jupiter at 06:03, Mercury opposite Saturn at 12:56, first quarter at 23:45.
Saturday the 19th. The Moon is in Capricorn from 07:56, in your sixth house. A square to Neptune at 14:21, a sextile to Venus at 18:29. A day of tasks, a soft evening.
Sunday the 20th. The Moon squares Saturn at 09:01 and Mercury at 15:50. The ninth lunar day. Rest rather than review.
Love and closeness
Thursday is the best day of the week for a couple. The Moon in your fifth takes four soft aspects in a row: you want to play rather than to settle, and it is mutual.
Tuesday is the worst. Venus square Pluto from the seventh means direct pressure: your partner will demand you take a side on a question that involves your family.
Monday from two to three is good for family rather than romance: the Moon with Venus in the fourth pulls you home, toward your own people and toward the simple.
Work and money
Wednesday and Thursday are the working core of the week. Thursday especially: the Moon's evening sextile to Mercury makes negotiation easy.
The Sun in your second house keeps personal money in view all week. A good time to count your own and a bad one to discuss what is shared: Pluto in your seventh under Venus's square on Tuesday will turn such a conversation into a contest.
Friday is when a small question grows into a matter of principle. Mercury opposite Saturn in your ninth may arrive as a document, a rule, an authority, or a person citing rules. Arguing is useless; recording is useful.
Health and energy
Mars in your twelfth house means strength drains invisibly. All week you will tire from the background rather than the load, and ordinary rest does not work here — quiet rest does.
The waxing Moon lifts you Wednesday to Friday. Those are the best days for load; Saturday is for regime and order.
Sunday, under two squares, is the day it is easiest to snap at the people closest to you. Clear from it in advance anything that requires patience.
How this week differs from last
Last week ran on a waning Moon and ended at the new Moon: energy was short and nothing moved. This one is entirely waxing — from Wednesday the difference will be felt physically.
The second difference: Venus has moved into your fourth house. Last week home was background; this week and the next three it becomes the subject — renovation, moving, parents, the question of where your place is.
What not to confuse
On Tuesday it will seem you must urgently choose between partner and family. That is a false choice: a square is an aspect of tension, not a fork. It asks not for a decision but for the admission that both sides have a right to be unhappy. A decision made this week will not hold anyway: Pluto is retrograde.
On the fourth house, specifically
Venus stays in your fourth house until early October. For a Leo that is an unfamiliar month: your life normally happens in view, and right now the centre of gravity shifts inward, toward your own people. There is an advantage here that is easy to miss — you can finally attend to home without feeling you are wasting time. This week offers two openings for it: Monday afternoon and the whole of Thursday.
What to do this week
On Monday between two and three, be at home with nothing to do. And on Friday write down the rule they cite instead of arguing with it.
