Over the weekend Mercury forms minor challenging aspects to Saturn and Pluto and asks us to tackle something difficult. If we don’t, we can just get difficult instead. Mercury may nag us to clean up a mess, whether it is a pile of trash in the backyard or a major oil spill on the swamps. But let’s go lightly on any interpersonal messes, and treat them with loving kindness and not a pitchfork. If these Mercury aspects also draw our attention to our age or the wear and tear on our bodies or our possessions, it helps to laugh ruefully and look for the gift of time.
For the next few weeks it will help to keep the pace easy and steady. We are prone to feeling tired but will have the stamina to keep on going anyway as energizing Mars conjuncts restricting Saturn. This low but steady energy is not just insipient summer laziness; it’s a healthy reminder to choose carefully where we put our energy.
We may find ourselves resenting other people’s needs, which we can easily hear as demands, not because we are selfish, but because those moments show off our shortcomings or limitations.
But if we can make this our choice, not to feel drained by expectations, but to choose a balance between our needs and theirs, and not worry about responding perfectly, but instead do our best, this is a productively healing direction.
Early next week we may need more time alone because we’re feeling permeable. If so it will be important to ask for it cleanly and with honesty, or the mood gets murky fast. Resentment and jealousy can clog our vision if we feel pushed away, and are tempting to give in to when it takes the pressure off our own responsibilities. Midweek brings a more inventive and lyrical note, the natural world will hold medicine for whatever ails us, if its too hot to go out in the daytime, look for the stars at night.
the week's codes are here
