The week's astrological tendencies — the weather of the sky in the days ahead.
Jupiter enters the heart of the Sun in Leo and vanishes from the sky, while the Full Moon in Aquarius lights the opposite side: a week of what is already formed and cannot yet be shown.
The Sun comes home to Leo and meets Jupiter, Mercury stations direct, and Venus and Mars attract in tension — a week of meeting and of choice.
Retrograde Mercury burns in the heart of the Sun while the Sun crosses the Moon's decan in Cancer: a week of gathering inward, where the strength that counts is not the sharp gesture nor cleverness, but the calm hand that holds without gripping.
Mars meets Uranus in a flash of lightning, the Sun strikes Saturn's limit, and Venus passes into Virgo: a week of the blade — to separate, with clarity, the true from what is merely mist.
A Full Moon in Capricorn and Jupiter entering Leo, with Mercury turning retrograde in Cancer: a week of thresholds — what is celebrated and crossed, and what asks for return.
The Sun in Cancer and Jupiter's last week of exaltation: between nourishment and lack, as Mars enters Gemini.
The Sun enters Cancer and opens the summer: a week of contrasts, of precise cuts and irreversible choices.
