This week's astrology involves an exploration of your fluctuating state of consciousness. There are correlations around new beginnings with your intuition and how you can tell the difference between an intuitive knowing vs. illusions. Overall, this week brings many of the planets together via aspect and this may feel like a lot of inner integration over the next month as this New Moon cycle progressed forward thru the month. This week's astrology includes:

- New Moon in Pisces: new beginnings involving many areas of life! especially around your state of consciousness, perceptions, intuitions, and experiences of fear or illusions. This New Moon is in aspect with Saturn (structure), Mercury (thought process), the North Node (personal development), Neptune (the mystical), Jupiter (generosity), and Mars (passion) - many planets (inner parts of yourself & external situations) are involved in this monthly initiation. It may feel like a lot of psychological sorting and synthesis throughout the month.

- Mercury conjunct Saturn in Pisces: a mental focus or communications about the practical matters, meeting limitations, and negotiating boundaries

- Mercury in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus: a subtle but unexpected opportunity or chance meeting sparks insight

- Mercury conjunct Neptune in Pisces: thinking about what is real vs. an illusion, possibly encountering new ways of thinking about limitations or fears

- Venus stations Retrograde in Aries: over the next couple of months, a reconnecting with your heart & values, as well as thoroughly considering topics of relationship dynamics, self-worth, beauty & style, sexuality & sensuality

Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety 🦋
