Weekly Overview
03.23-29.2022
This week will test your sense of security. It starts off with an anxiety-inducing Mercury Conjunction to Neptune and is topped off with a Venus Conjunction to Saturn.
In practical terms, what this means is that it may be easy to jump to negative or fear-based conclusions. And if you’re not doing that, you’re likely to be engaging with people who are. This isn’t a good time to ignore what's going on around you or assume that others will take care of your needs and desires for you. It’s also not a great time for assuming that the worst is happening. Through the first half of the week, engage with your anxieties and nerves in simple ways by drinking water, turning away from your phone, and remembering to move your body. In the second half of the week, you may need to deal constructively with relationship dynamics or financial issues that are stressful. Take a practical and cautious approach in all matters.
As always, for a nuanced and detailed breakdown of this week's transits, listen to my weekly astrology and advice show, Ghost of a Podcast or read the transcripts here.
Emotions can be awkward, even when they’re loving ones. This week you may find yourself overthinking how you feel or your role in relationships. While caring consideration is wonderful, negative or stressful fixations, not so much. Slow down so that you can reflect on how you feel, and gain insight into what’s underneath that. Find ways of honoring where you’re at that are authentic and true, Aries.

While you may encounter frustration and overwhelm this week, it’s not for nothing. The problems that you’re having in your life point directly to what needs your care and attention. You may need to slow things down or to speed them up, but in either case it’s important that you don’t do it all alone. Listen to what others have to say and take in their feedback without letting it invalidate your own feelings or perspective. What you need now is boundaries, held and expressed with care.

It’s time to let go. This week you are likely to feel confronted by old relationship dynamics or impulses within yourself that are outdated and better left in the past. Don’t expect others to have changed just because you have, twin star. It’s on you to uphold your own evolving boundaries and needs, and extra points if you are gracious with others as they adjust to those changes. Just because things aren’t going as smoothly as you’d prefer doesn’t mean they’re not going in the right direction.

You’ve got the right idea but it all comes down to timing, moon child. While you may feel ready to start something new or make changes to your life, this isn’t the time to rush things because it simply won’t work. Instead, strive to embody your truth and the insights you’ve worked hard to cultivate. In this way you are not going out and making change as much as staying present and participating in it.

You’re likely to find yourself engaged in dynamics that are uncomfortable this week. If you let yourself run, unchecked, with assumptions, you’re likely to feel pretty anxious. Instead of wasting your energy looking for fault, accept what’s happening here and now. In this way you will be better poised to constructively engage with your own emotions as well as the dynamics at play in your relationships. Take a patient and inquisitive approach to your relationships, Leo.

It’s unwise to take on too much this week, Virgo. You are in a great place in many ways and capable of doing so much more. But just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Mobilizing on half baked ideas or unexamined impulses may land you in a position where you are committed to things you really don’t want to do, or it takes away from the stuff you must deeply care about. Prioritize finding your equilibrium before taking action and you can’t go wrong.

Don’t overdo it, libra. Just because the people you care about are struggling does not mean you need to take it in and on. Instead, strive to simply be present for others. This may look the same in practical terms, but feel really different. Actively listen and offer be a witness to what your loved ones are going through, and ask if advice is desired, because a lot of times people only need your presence. Finding your autonomy within relationships can be hard, but is ever so valuable, my love.

You may be struggling with disappointment as things aren’t working out as you had hoped. Instead of obsessing on what could have been or what you expected, strive to come to acceptance of what is, now. Feel your feelings, without needing to attach the narrative that because things are hard now. that they will be hard later. Your feelings, much like your situation, will ebb and flow. Just keep your head above water when things get choppy.

This week holds within it so much potential for you to thrive! The key is for you to create and take advantage of a little bit of space. All great movements require periods of apparent inactivity; don’t be so in a rush that you forget to center self protection and care in your approach. Remember, Sagittarius: the way things look is not as important as the way that they are. For best results, in addition to investing energy, invest care in what you care.

It takes just as much energy to have positive expectations as it does to have fear-based ones. In the words of Sonya Renee Taylor, “collude with possibility“ this week. There is so much that can go right in life, and it’s a valuable time for you to align with that. Put yourself out there, take risks, and be willing to be hopeful, even when it would be easier to keep your dreams small and your head down, Capricorn.

There are important themes running through your life right now, and as compelling as the details of your situation are, it would be unwise to ignore the patterns themselves. How you participate is as important as what you do at this time, Aquarius. Make sure that you are not acting out of fear, pride, or anger. Allowing yourself to be swept along with events or to be too reactive will not help, either. Bring intention to all that you do, my love.

You may find yourself in a position this week where you want to clarify your needs and boundaries but feel confused about what they are when you actually open your mouth to speak them. The key is to not rush yourself, Pisces. Create space in your life to cultivate acceptance for your situation, your feelings, and your needs. There are no guarantees that things will go well in life, even when you do your best. But showing up to the best of your ability can be at reward.
