You probably already know what parts of your chart are affected by the Saturn-Pluto conjunction, but if you aren’t, CLICK HERE to visit the The Saturn-Pluto Bomb Shelter And Lounge on Facebook and we’ll figure it out!

Good news, everyone! Although the Saturn-Pluto conjunction is still in effect, it is currently weakened. Although Saturn and Pluto are both retrograde and still conjunct. there is now about six degrees of breathing room between the two of them. Although any transit will bring difficulties for some people, for most of you who have been experiencing the worst effects of this transit? You just catch a bit of a break this week.

In fact, the biggest annoyance many of you will be experiencing next week comes from a completely different direction. That would be transiting Sun and Venus, both in Leo, making the square to Uranus. Hey, astrology (like real life in general) is complicated. But a change is as good as a rest, right?

Here’s when the Moon will be helping (or not):

On Tuesday, the Moon will be in Cancer, which is already kind of a moody place for it to be. But when that Moon spends the day passing over the North Node, opposite Saturn and Pluto, and ending the day with a conjunction to a still-retrograde Mercury. Oh man. Express your feelings carefully… very carefully. Watch out for mood swings.

…Come to think of it, Wednesday is going to be kind of touchy too, as the Moon in early Leo interacts with that Sun-Venus-Uranus jumble I mentioned earlier. It’s a different set of mood swings from the day before, but still mood swings nonetheless.

Things almost get sensible during the day on Saturday. Moon in Virgo forms a nice supportive trine to Saturn and Pluto. Too bad it’s also opposite Neptune. This could be a good day to relax with loved ones, or heck — stay at home, get drunk, and watch Netflix or something.
