The first few days of the week consider what you want to aim for. What are your goals? What are you searching for? What resides in the bull’s-eye of the target you are focusing up?
Keeping this in mind may serve to be very helpful come the week’s end. It may be that we don’t cast these early-in-the-week visions as overly defined and rigid precepts, but rather have them be declarations that hold a solid core while also allowing some wiggle room that leave space for “knowing” something is right rather than just thinking it is. This can keep us moving forward, attuned to our target, and yet in an honest rather than rigid space of discovery.
With the Sun and Mercury dancing with both Uranus and Saturn, we’re at once pulled to be innovative and experimental while at the same time honoring natural limits and the “rules of the road.” Being open to trying new things, and then being really honest with ourselves as to whether they work for us or not may be one way to synthesize what could otherwise feel like disparate drives. With the Sun uniting with Mercury (exact Friday), communications may feel loud and proud. We could find ourselves strongly pulled to share our thoughts and creative approaches; just watch that a heady intellectuality doesn’t drown out inputs from other sources (such as feelings, intuition, and practical concerns) that could also make important contributions to navigating the here and now.
As Sunday’s Full Moon approaches we may find ourselves dancing in the light of seeming opposites: notably, trying to navigate how to find space for collective concerns and community collaborations without feeling like we’re giving up our unique brand of contribution. We could feel that at once we want to be nameless, working in unison with others to add value to something much larger than any of us, and yet we could also be drawn towards wanting to be recognized for the part of the value that we personally add and that we feel reflects who we are. Honoring the individual and honoring the individual as an inherent component of the group may be a very strong theme.
