Inner Reflection and Mental Sensitivity
This week is likely to feel introspective and, at times, a bit intense. The New Moon on Sunday falls in your 12th house, a sector traditionally linked with the subconscious, solitude, and hidden influences. New Moons in this part of the chart can stir complex emotions and challenge your usual clarity. It’s a period where rest, reflection, and emotional honesty are vital.
Adding to this, a quarter Moon at the start of the week occurs in your 9th house, associated with travel, learning, and beliefs. This quarter Moon forms a square with the Sun in the 12th, setting up a potential conflict between what you believe or learn and what you’re processing emotionally. Misunderstandings or exaggerated reactions—possibly from others—may test your patience.
Watch Your Words
Mars is currently energizing the area of your chart related to communication, giving you confidence and pride in expressing your ideas. However, this assertiveness comes with a warning: Mars is opposing Pluto this week, and both planets link back to the sensitive Sun in your 12th house.
This setup could put your words under a microscope. Something you say—especially if spoken impulsively—may be scrutinized or challenged. Your ideas could spark controversy, particularly if they challenge existing norms or if you’re in a high-stakes environment, like work or public platforms.
Precision is Power
Fortunately, Mercury, your ruling planet, forms a strong and insightful angle to Pluto early in the week. This aspect empowers you to think and speak with precision. If you slow down and avoid reactive communication, you’ll have the chance to present your thoughts with clarity and depth.
Meanwhile, Venus and Saturn are also making key alignments, particularly in your professional zone. This highlights the importance of expressing yourself thoughtfully in work settings. Your reputation and how you’re perceived by peers and higher-ups may hinge on how carefully you choose your words.
The Hidden Critics
With the Sun and New Moon in the 12th house, it’s worth being aware of subtle or hidden opposition. This is the traditional domain of “secret enemies” in astrology—not necessarily enemies in the literal sense, but people who may quietly disagree with or challenge your intentions. They could be watching for errors or waiting to question your position. The best approach? Be thorough, factual, and composed.
