Okay y’all… I am really freaking excited for the energy this week. It feels like deep integration energy. Like, at first glance, it might just feel like business as usual—you’re trucking along, handling stuff, gaining awareness in tiny little ways. But those micro shifts? They’re leading somewhere.
This week feels like the kind of week where you’re making subtle tweaks to how you think, how you relate, how you operate—and then boom: something clicks. A pivot. A huge breakthrough. A completely new way of seeing or doing something. And what’s wild is that it doesn’t even have to be loud. It could just be a quiet but powerful “oh s**t, that’s it” kind of moment.
I’ve got a special gift for my paid subscribers at the bottom of this post—exclusive ChatGPT prompts tailored to this week’s astrology. Just plug in your rising sign to get personalized guidance on how to navigate the current energies based on your birth chart.
🌿 Uranus in Taurus: The Grand Finale
This is the last week Uranus is in Taurus, and holy s**t, that’s a big deal. Taurus is the long-game queen. It’s sensual AF, loves nature, quality over quantity, slow pleasure, peace. Think: rich soil, deep roots, birds chirping while you drink your morning matcha.
And Taurus themes have been screaming at us lately—especially around value, self-worth, how we relate to stuff, to people, to ourselves.
We’ve overcomplicated life, big time. I literally opened my mailbox the other day and got like three letters from the same company saying the same thing. That’s a mirror of what happens when we try to control everything—overthinking, overdoing, adding more and more just to feel safe.
But more is NOT more. Not anymore.
💸 The Myth of Excess = Control
Uranus in Taurus has been teaching me—and probably you too—that excess doesn’t equal safety. It doesn’t make life better. If anything, it clutters your mind, disconnects you from your truth, and keeps you stuck in fear. We think if we just have enough—money, friends, clients, routines—we’ll be safe. But guess what? You can’t control life through excess.
Real safety is presence. Simplicity. Peace.
And if you’re anything like me, when you try to control stuff, you actually make it way more complicated. You think more, plan more, anticipate more problems. And then you end up stuck in this exhausting loop of trying to solve problems that don’t even exist yet.
💗 Relationships: Control ≠ Love
Here’s something that recently hit me like a ton of bricks: I used to think I was holding people to a high standard… But really, I was just trying to control them.
Like, I have really high standards for who I let in my close circle. And that’s valid—I don’t let people in easily. But once they’re in, I’ve had this pattern of micromanaging the connection. Like, if someone did something that didn’t align with my values, I’d call them out like, “That’s not who you are. We don’t do that here. If you don’t clean this up, we can’t be friends.”
But what I realized is… that’s not love. That’s fear. That’s me trying to prevent pain by controlling other people. And that energy? It doesn’t make me feel more safe—it actually shuts down love. It disconnects me from presence. It blocks the magic.
Now I’m practicing something different: loving people even when they’re messy. Holding space. Reflecting their highest self back to them without making it an ultimatum. That shift alone has been a game-changer.
Here’s the day-by-day:
🌕 Monday: Let Go of Perfection
The Moon’s in Virgo crossing the South Node. So yeah… We’re shedding. Shedding old patterns around needing to get it right. Shedding the version of us that only felt safe when we were micromanaging every detail. It’s about choosing peace over perfection. It’s about releasing the past. It’s about shedding a false sense of security through “doing”.
So ask yourself: Where am I gripping? Where can I surrender more?
⚖️ Tuesday: Balance Is the New Ambition
The Moon moves into Libra and immediately opposes Saturn and Neptune in Aries. Big “don’t force it” energy. Saturn wants structure, but Aries wants speed. You might feel pulled to charge ahead and fix things. But that’s not it.
Instead, ask: How can I meet my needs? How can I come into balance between “doing” and “feeling”? And Pluto’s involved too, offering a chance to break free from control patterns, especially in relationships.
Perfect day for a clearing conversation. One of my besties and I had one last Friday—it changed everything. We both realized we weren’t being our full selves around each other because of some intense confrontations the last 6 months. We were scared of being judged or abandoned. So we named it, cleared it, and promised to accept each other more. That’s the kind of healing available this week.
🌀 Wednesday–Thursday: The Emotional Pivot
Midweek brings squares between the Moon in Libra and the Sun and Jupiter in Cancer. So if Tuesday brought a big convo or realization, Wednesday might feel like: “Okay… now how do I actually relate to this person or situation differently?” It’s a little awkward, a little new. You’re learning how to operate from this new place of truth instead of old patterns.
Thursday might feel tender. The Moon opposes Chiron in Aries, so you could feel wobbly around identity and self-worth. And if someone says something that hurts… try this:
Pause and say, “Ouch. That hurt my feelings. Did you mean it that way?”
It’s simple, powerful, and keeps your heart open instead of shutting down. I’m practicing this in real time and it’s shifting everything.
⚡ Friday: The Breakthrough (Ready or Not)
Venus meets Uranus in Taurus. And it’s intense. Love, money, self-worth, how we receive… Something could snap into place. Or something you’ve been clinging to could be ripped away.
And the Moon in Scorpio squaring Pluto? Yeah, this could feel like a cosmic pressure cooker. But don’t resist it. Whatever’s being taken is making room for what’s aligned.
You can’t build the new Earth by clinging to the old one.
I’ve felt this on plant medicine journeys—when you have to surrender or else it just gets more painful. That’s the vibe. Surrender is the only way forward.
💫 Saturday–Sunday: Integration + Inspiration
Saturday feels like a beautiful integration day. The Moon is making gorgeous aspects to Mars, the Sun, and the North Node—it’s like a deep exhale. “Okay, now I get it. Now I know what to do next.”
I forgot to mention that on Friday, Venus entered Gemini. Well on Sunday, the Moon moves into Sagittarius and opposes Venus in Gemini. Hell yes. Lightness. Curiosity. Witty convos. New ideas. Writing flows. Creativity can be at its peak. The ideas are flowing. Maybe too many ideas- stay grounded!
If you’ve been feeling shy or awkward, Sunday could be the day you show up as the full version of yourself and it actually feels easy. It’s like something clicks and you’re suddenly just… you.
