The Moon starts the week in emotional, responsive, sensitive Pisces. On Wednesday it moves into active, excitable, impulsive Aries, with a Full Moon then, making us prone to over-reacting. On Friday it moves into defensive, possessive, security conscious Taurus. On Sunday it moves into chatty, impulsive, flirtatious Gemini, finishing the week there.

Mercury is still traveling through critical, intuitive, fixated & pensive Scorpio till Saturday, when it moves back into diplomatic, peace-loving, harmonious Libra, causing some indecision.

Venus is now settled in tactful, convincing, credible, sensual Libra.

Jupiter is now approximately one third of the way through benevolent, extrovert, positive, expansive Leo, staying there for several months making us benevolent and kind-hearted.

Saturn remains in responsible, shrewd, strong-willed Scorpio, until the end of 2014. It is now traveling Direct, enabling self expansion in some respects.

Uranus remains in assertive, blunt, energetic, self-willed Aries, for several years, and can make us individualistic and rebellious, unexpected events or disruptive emotional matters, may distract us, or help us see things differently. Uranus is currently traveling Retrograde until December, helping us come up with ingenious ideas, with a need to use them creatively. Neptune remains in sensitive, intuitive Pisces for the foreseeable future, and helps us gradually develop more empathy, compassion, and build understanding, in a wide variety of ways, but also indicates a need to remain realistic.

Neptune is now traveling Retrograde until Mid December, indicating boundaries between reality and illusion may blur at times, causing possible confusion, with a need to look at people and situations realistically.
