This week brings a wave of watery energy as we move deeper into the winter season. The Full Moon in Cancer, along with Venus making key transits in her exaltation in Pisces, sets the tone for emotionality and heightened intuition. With the Full Moon supercharged by Mars, emotional intensity and heightened irritation may surface. However, connecting with the cooling element of water and the grounding energy of earth can help you cultivate balance and calm amidst the intensity.
We’re also at the peak of both the Moon cycle and the Mars retrograde cycle this week. The Full Moon, coupled with the Sun-Mars opposition midweek, offers a brilliant opportunity to reflect and gain clarity. The extra light of this phase invites you to notice what’s present in your life and what the mars retrograde is asking you to take responsibility for.
While the peak of the Moon cycle brings dynamic and "loud" energy, it can be a little polarizing in contrast with the quieter, restorative vibe of the winter season. Amidst the heightened astrology, it’s essential to nourish and replenish yourself, staying aligned with the season’s call for rest and introspection.

Venus in Pisces Square Jupiter in Gemini
This aspect may highlight themes of indulgence or unrealistic expectations, especially in love and finances, due to the challenging square aspect.
However, this is a square involving two benefics therefore it may not solely bring tension. With Venus in her exaltation, the energy is softened, bringing sweetness, expansion, and an opportunity to indulge in positive ways.
Be mindful not to overindulge or take things too far.

Sun in Capricorn Opposite Retrograde Mars in Cancer
The Sun represents your ego, vitality, and how you shine in the world. In Capricorn, this energy is ambitions, responsibilities, and long-term planning.
Mars represents action and drive. Retrograde in Cancer, this energy turns inward and is emotionally focused.
This opposition may create tension between professional ambitions and how you take physical action in the world
With Mars still retrograde, conflicts could arise if energy isn’t channelled constructively. Patience and emotional awareness are key.

Venus Conjunct Saturn in Pisces
This conjunction emphasizes commitment, responsibility, and structure in relationships.
It’s a favourable time to solidify bonds or make serious decisions in love and creative projects.
In Pisces, the focus shifts to emotional connection in relationships, encouraging the establishment of healthy boundaries.
Sun Enters Aquarius
The Sun’s entry into Aquarius marks a shift from Capricorn’s grounded, earth-focused energy centred on planning, ambition, and concrete actions to Aquarius’ air-based energy.
Aquarius emphasises the future, big ideas, innovation, humanitarian efforts, and individuality.
This transit encourages forward-thinking and cultivating a collective mindset.
So with the heightened energy this week, remember to stay cool and grounded! And utilise the light of the full moon to illuminate that which you need clarity on!
