Friday this week is about money, and for the first time in a long while it is discussed in figures. Mercury, from your eighth house, moves into opposition with Saturn in your second: other people's obligations against your own means. A Pisces finds such conversations hard, and this one happens regardless.

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 ninth, tenth, and eleventh houses — from the distant, through work, to people.

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. For you that quarter lands on the axis of work against partnership.

The Sun runs through the final week of Virgo, from the twenty-second degree to the twenty-eighth, standing in your seventh house: all month you have been living through another person, and that ends in a week. 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. Neptune is your ruler, and it stands in your second house: money is harder to see than usual right now, and that is a background of months rather than of a week.

Where it lands for you

Venus is in your ninth house until Wednesday: distance, study, another country, everything that widens. Her square to Pluto on Tuesday arrives from your twelfth — the wish to leave or to start again runs into a fear you do not usually name.

Mercury is in your eighth house, Saturn in your second. Their opposition on Friday is the week's most concrete moment: a debt, a share, a loan, or an obligation stands opposite what you actually have. Neptune beside Saturn blurs the picture, so the figure has to be counted rather than estimated.

The Sun is in your seventh house all week. Your partner is currently the main source of both energy and irritation. Its sextile to Mars in your fifth house on Monday evening is the best moment of the week for simple pleasure together.

Jupiter in your sixth house has been enlarging your volume of work all year. This week it takes a square from the Moon on Tuesday and a trine on Friday morning: first the pile-up, then the order.

Day by day

Monday the 14th. Before 09:45 the Moon is void — begin nothing. At 14:35 the Moon meets Venus in your ninth: a good hour to look at something distant. At 15:16 Pluto squares them. At 23:21 the Sun sextiles Mars — the best evening of the week.

Tuesday the 15th. At 05:46 the exact Venus-Pluto square — a hard morning. At 17:38 the Moon squares Jupiter in your sixth: an evening for taking on extra work.

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 tenth — from that evening you become more visible.

Thursday the 17th. The best background 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. A trine to your own ruler — rare clarity.

Friday the 18th. A trine to Jupiter at 06:03, Mercury opposite Saturn at 12:56, first quarter at 23:45. The week's principal day.

Saturday the 19th. The Moon is in Capricorn from 07:56, in your eleventh house. A square to Neptune at 14:21 blurs the afternoon; a sextile to Venus at 18:29 makes the evening pleasant.

Sunday the 20th. The Moon squares Saturn at 09:01 and Mercury at 15:50. The ninth lunar day. Do not count, do not settle, do not discuss.

Love and closeness

Monday late in the evening is the best time of the week. The Sun's sextile to Mars links your seventh house to your fifth: the partner and pleasure in one point, without subtext and without anything to settle.

Tuesday is the worst. Venus square Pluto from your twelfth drags fear out phrased as accusation: you will say you are not letting me go when you mean I am frightened.

Thursday evening is the second window: the Moon's trines to Neptune and to Saturn give softness and steadiness at once, a combination a Pisces rarely gets.

Work and money

Thursday is the working core of the week. The Moon's overnight trine to Neptune in your second house and its evening sextile to Mercury make it the best day for anything involving money and paperwork.

On Friday, count. Mercury opposite Saturn is a rare chance to see the real figure: what you owe, what is owed to you, what remains. Neptune beside Saturn will interfere, so count in writing.

Do not name your rate this week and do not sign agreements about other people's money: Saturn is retrograde and the terms will change.

Health and energy

Jupiter in your sixth house inclines you all year to take on more work than fits. This week the peak of that temptation is Tuesday evening.

The waxing Moon gives the best stretch from Wednesday to Friday. Monday and Tuesday accumulate rather than carry load.

Pluto in your twelfth under a square on Tuesday brings a heavy evening with no external cause. Water in any form helps a Pisces particularly on such days — not a metaphor but a working method.

How this week differs from last

Last week ran on a waning Moon and ended at the new Moon: energy was short and everything was closing. This one is entirely waxing and rises from midweek.

The second difference is specificity. A Pisces rarely gets a week whose main event is measured in figures. This one is exactly that, and therefore useful: the second-house fog lifts for a day.

What not to confuse

Friday's opposition will show an unpleasant picture about money, and a Pisces reacts first by deciding everything is bad in general. That is an error of scale: an opposition shows one axis, not a whole life. A bad figure is about the figure, not about you.

On Neptune in your second house, specifically

Your ruler stands in the early degrees of Aries, in your second house, and moves retrograde. Throughout this, money is not a number for you but a mood: it seems there is enough for everything, then enough for nothing, on the same balance. Friday's opposition is the rare day when Saturn makes Neptune show a fact. Use it: count and write it down. In a week the fog returns, and the note remains.

What to do this week

On Friday count in writing what you owe and what is owed to you. And give Monday evening to someone close.
