This week is about control: the ways we reach for it, the ways it slips through our hands, and the ways we convince ourselves it’s a noble act when it’s really just ego in a better outfit. Monday’s Full Moon in Aries drags something to the surface that’s been brewing since spring, the kind of emotional laundry day where you suddenly realize half your resentment pile belongs to you. And Mercury sliding into Scorpio on the same day? That’s your brain turning into a crime lab. Everything gets dissected, decoded, autopsied for truth. Which would be great, except the truth might not want to be found through cross-examination. This whole week is one long test in discernment: when is “following your gut” just intuition doing its job, and when is it you trying to manipulate reality into agreeing with your storyline? Spoiler: you’ll know by how exhausted you are.
