Welcome to the series on weekly transits, out every Monday afternoon!
The transits for the week are all about clarity. Calm, possibly brutal, but extremely efficient clarity.
Tomorrow, Venus in Virgo trines Uranus in Taurus. You could very easily have an epiphany, or be party to someone else’s. You or someone you love might realize exactly what thin ice they're standing on.
It’s possible that this might cause some confusion and hurt feelings, as Venus opposes Neptune in Pisces on Wednesday. However, Mercury also turns direct that day, again allowing for clarity. You’ll be able to communicate your truth, your needs, and your boundaries if need be.
On Thursday, the sharp edges may be smoothed over, and the connection may even deepen. This is because Venus glides into her home sign of Libra, gilding the world with gold and lace. And Venus then trines Pluto, allowing just a little taste of intensity, as a treat.

I had a moment yesterday that encapsulated all of this energy. I had just been given an excellent keyboard by my best friend. I hadn’t played in nearly 25 years, so I started at the beginning and was practicing scales.
My partner walked in the room and made a face at the sound (I had the volume very, very low, by the way). He said, “Look, I’m happy you’ve got your little thing going, but only do this when I’m not home.”
Without looking up, I said very simply, “So you want me to restrict the things that bring me joy to when you’re gone. That seems like a bad idea, since I’ll start dreading you being here. I can’t see that I would want to stay with someone who can’t stand to be present while I do what I love.”
He stopped dead. “You’d leave over something like that?”
“Well, you’ve said the same thing about my painting and singing. You also dislike when I leave the room to read or write. So yes, I think eventually I would.”
“Oh. Well, I don’t want that. Carry on then.”
And that was it. The moment of clarity, the efficient communication, the confusion, the further efficient communication of boundaries, and the little band-aid at the end.

It’s important to get this kind of personal drama out of the way now.
Next Monday, Uranus turns retrograde while Pluto moves back into Capricorn. We move from the realm of the personal to that of the social. Things that happen at this point are unlikely to be within our control. So focus on what you can control now, so you’re set up when the lightning strikes.
And play all the fucking music you want.
