As the week begins, you might notice that the energy feels a little… different. Not bad, just new. Of course, there’s an astrological reason for that: On Sunday, we see two big cosmic events. First, Saturn Retrograde begins in Aries. This once-yearly event kicks off a period of almost five months where your responsibilities and goals are up for review. Consider them carefully and decide if you want to adjust anything. Later that same day, the North and South Nodes shift from Pisces and Virgo to Aquarius and Leo, kicking off an 18-month period that encourages creativity and personal growth.
You have just a few days to get used to the new cosmic atmosphere before the Full Moon in Aries on Wednesday amplifies those Aquarius vibes even more. You might feel a little weird—again, not bad, just different. This is a time to celebrate your creativity, intelligence, and uniqueness. If there’s something you’ve been wanting to let go of, now is the time to release it and move forward.
