Welcome to another lovely week in the cosmic theatre of life! This is shorter than usual as I am busy busy busy! I am going to share a couple of the aspects that I think really hit us intimately. On Thursday, December 5th, the cosmos align to create a significant wave of energetic expresssion. Mercury, the planet of communication, will be in his retrograde phase in the adventurous and philosophical sign of Sagittarius as he enters the heart of the Sun (cazimi). As much as people like to hate on Mercury Retrograde periods, this moment isn’t just about miscommunications and lost messages; it is a profound invitation to introspect, reflect, and revise our narratives. Simultaneously, Venus moves into the realm of Aquarius and embraces a powerful conjunction with Pluto—something that hasn’t occurred in over 200 years.
Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius Cazimi the Sun: A Call to Reflect and Find The New
Mercury retrograde is often met with a sigh by many, yet within the challenges lie immense opportunities for growth. In Sagittarius, this retrograde encourages us to revisit beliefs and ideals that no longer serve us. It’s an ideal time to question: Are the philosophies that guide my life truly aligned with my authentic self? Am I living in alignment with the purpose I have found? Have I found a purpose?
During this time of Mercury being retrograde in Sagittarius, the cazimi effect occurs as Mercury aligns perfectly with the Sun. During this brief moment, when Mercury is ‘in the heart of the Sun,’ our minds may gain clarity. We could get a divine download, as my teacher coins it. Mercury is the messenger of the divine and the sun is the source of all divine nature. The sun will amplify Mercurys messages as he travels right through the Suns beams. The sun amplifies the energy of Mercury and its messages. Topics related to communications, education, and expansive thinking could come into sharper focus. This deep connection with the fiery nature of the Sun can illuminate previously dulled areas of our lives—reminding us of the power of knowledge and truth.
A New Vibration: Venus Enters Aquarius
As Venus transitions into Aquarius on Saturday the 7th, we are invited to really look at the way we relate in ways of innovation, freedom, and authentic connections. She will meet intense and deep Pluto soon after entering Aquarius territory. It's really a theme of the love of power and the power of love. Which will guide you, consume you and be your muse in the way we move forward? Under the influence of Aquarius, love takes a unique form—not necessarily defined by conventional standards but expanded to embrace individuality and unique authentic connections.
When Venus conjuncts Pluto, expect a surge of emotional intensity—one that can dig deep into our relationships and values. This transit offers us the potential for deep transformation, breaking down barriers and reconstructing how we choose to engage in partnerships. The allure of power dynamics within our connections can either forge deeper intimacy or expose underlying issues that require healing. WE can see where we are not in balance in relational topics across the board. Venus wants to soothe and beautify. Aquarius wants to relate, connect and create non conventional ways of connection.
This conjunction carries a rare potency, reminding us of the dualities of love and power, desire and fear. It is an opportunity to evolve our relationships, inviting greater honesty, intimacy and authenticity. How do we express love in this modern era? How can we uphold our individuality while nurturing emotional bonds? We are being supported by the cosmos to create, hold and live in a world of powerful love, whatever that means for us. Depending on where this transit hits in your natal chart, it will likely shift your ideas about love, power, money, sex and intimacy.
*A little caution that depending on how this his you, it can be a very toxic transit for toxic live stories to manifest. Pluto and Venus are powerful catalyzers for deep passion and sometimes too much is just too much.
Be grounded and be present as you may feel deep emotions and I am offering you free unrequited advice to not start or end anything brashly this week. Its not a good look. Instead, embrace the feelings and thoughts that wash over you. As mercury is retrograde as this transit occurs, its a powerful time for deep reflective work. I am a huge advocate of journaling and allowing ourselves to really see, feel and acknowledge what comes out when we allow ourselves the time to really sit with it. We are our own greatest guru!
I'll be back to share the story of Mars going retrogarde in Leo and share the energies of Neptune going direct in Pisces and how both of these can affect us! Remember, astrology doesnt make us do things, its energy that is flowing to the earth is compelling! Knowledge is power and when we know the weather, we can dress accordingly! Be so good to you!
