As we enter a new week, Sagittarius, the cosmos is shifting in a way that asks you to embrace new energies and allow yourself to remain open on your journey of self-discovery and connection. A week full of important lunar phases and strong planetary alignments marks a vital time in your life, full of essential transformations, learned discipline, and further self-expression. Remember to take the time to set your intentions as we move through the week, and stay grounded by continuing to keep your faith in the universe and that it will always guide you towards meaningful growth and alignment. Let’s explore what this week has in store!
Moon Phases
This week, Sagittarius, you’ll be feeling the effects of the moon as it shifts through Aquarius, Pisces, and Aries and then enters Taurus on the 25th. While in Pisces, the moon will be in its Last Quarter phase, which signals a period of release for you. This could mean decluttering your space or something more specific, like resolving any lingering family issues.
Once the moon moves into Aries on the 22nd, where it’ll stay until the 24th, it’ll be a time for rest and introspection. It’s also a small period where you can truly reflect on your creative explorations. Finally, at the end of the week, the moon moves into Taurus, where you’ll want to focus on your self-care and implement even the smallest changes that can help promote well-being in all aspects of your life.
Planetary Influences
You’ll be feeling a lot of influences from the planets this week, Sagittarius! To start with, on the 19th, the moon will be squaring Mercury, which, for you, Sagittarius, can mean a heightened sense of emotional sensitivity. You might feel tension between your thoughts and feelings, which can cause you to have multiple misunderstandings and impulsive reactions that you’ll want to actively try to avoid.
On the 20th, we finally enter Gemini Season, and for you, Sagittarius, because this is your sister sign, you’ll be in a period of growth, connection, and self-discovery! You’ll find yourself balancing your energies as a Sagittarius and those of your opposite, Gemini, which can lead you to a stronger understanding of your relationships and personal goals!
When we enter a time of Venus Conjunct Mars on May 22nd, as a Sagittarius, there will be quite an alignment between Venus in Aries and a trine with Mars in Leo. So what exactly does this mean? Well, your fifth house of creativity and romance and your ninth house of adventure and expansion will ignite together, potentially leading to strong romantic sparks, bold connections, and increased confidence in your creative expressions!
To add to that, Sagittarius, Saturn goes direct in Aries for the next 2.5 years starting on May 24th, and therefore, you’ll find yourself with stronger creative discipline, romantic maturity, and personal growth as it activates your fifth house and puts a strong emphasis on creativity, romance, and self-expression!
Finally, on the 25th, Mercury enters Gemini and forms a sextile with Saturn in Aries. This dual transit, with Gemini in your seventh house, will put more emphasis on communication through your dialogue, networking opportunities, and any joint projects. You’ll have a unique chance to blend creativity with practicality, which will help enhance your personal relationships and creative pursuits!
Important Dates
With Moon Squaring Mercury at the start of your week, you might find yourself struggling with decision-making and expressing your emotions without the risk of being misunderstood, and you’ll need to rely on your learned patience to navigate any conflicts that arise.
Midweek, specifically Thursday, you’ll feel the peak of the Venus and Mars Trine. To work through this, be open to the new experiences that are being laid before you, be open and communicative about your feelings and intentions, and use the dynamic energy to work on projects that excite you!
