Weekly Overview
06.07-13.2023
On the 11th, Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn where it will stay until January 2024. This will be the last time that Pluto is in Capricorn for about 250 years!
When Pluto moves back into Capricorn, we have the opportunity to get to the root of the matter, especially in regards to the systems that are at the core of our issues. This may have to do with family matters, how you’ve organized your life, or the function of larger systems like patriarchy, white supremacy, and the separation between church and state—both in the world and in the intimate corners of your life. Pluto was in Capricorn from 2008 until March 2023; the themes that you have undergone in this period may be reactivated, especially the ones that you’ve experienced in the last 2 to 3 years. When it comes to Pluto, we must always be willing to go deep, experience our survival mechanisms, and transform or be transformed. This is rarely easy, but it can be profoundly rewarding if you do the work. Luckily, Capricorn is the zodiac sign that is most willing to work. So know that the next six months mark a time in which we must engage with the realities that we find ourselves in. We must be willing to work hard, and oftentimes that will mean letting go of control. If we are willing to explore our internalized relationship to hierarchies, fear, our need for validation from authority figures, and systems that uphold the old guard, this can be a really fruitful time. Start where your emotions are strongest and move step-by-step from there.
But that’s not all! There are several transits happening this week, and in episode 330 of my weekly Astrology and Advice show, I break them down. Listen to the audio below or read the transcript here.
Previous Week
Choose your battles wisely, Aries. You may be struggling with something in yourself that makes you sensitive or defensive with others this week. If you’re feeling activated, it’s not the time to be having important conversations. If they can’t be avoided, it’s important to take your own emotional reactions with a big grain of salt and return to them when you’re feeling a bit more level headed.

This week you’re likely to find yourself feeling stymied, blocked, or frustrated. Luckily, it’s not the end of the world! Feelings ebb and flow, and if you’re willing to cope with them, they can help you to grow. Be willing to change, Taurus. Get and stay interested in your own reactions. Measure them against your deepest held values so that you can train yourself to hold things in proportion and give your precious energy only to what deserves it.

Nothing you do right now needs to be written in stone. Instead, think of this as a good time for laying foundations, planting seeds, and developing theories. If you push yourself too hard or avoid situations that need your energy in a very real way, you will end up feeling pretty off by the end of the week. Don’t be scared to get real, Twin Star, because that’s how you get free.

You don’t need to rush to figure things out no matter how stressed you find yourself this week, Moonchild. If you try to process internally or with others before receiving your activated emotions, you’re likely to make things worse. You may even find yourself in power struggles. Take care of and responsibility for where you’re coming from, and soothe your raw emotions before you try to come up with answers this week.

You don’t need to take on every challenge that you encounter, Leo. If your self-worth is too reliant on proving yourself, it’s not truly reflective of your value as a person. That puts you on shaky self-esteem ground. Don't let your ego get in the way of showing up for yourself and others around what matters most this week.

You are likely to be craving security and stability this week. You may feel a strong pull to know where you’re going, how to get there, and how long it will take. The problem is that there are very few answers, and where they are, there are no assurances. Allow yourself to get comfortable with the unknown and the anxiety that it may spark within you. Instead of distracting from your emotions, find ways of coping, Virgo.

If you can't trust yourself, it’s going to be a challenge to ever feel peaceful. No matter how impatient or restless you’re feeling this week, do your best to carve out some space to slow down, tune in, and reconnect spiritually. It may seem counterintuitive to slow down as a way to speed up, but rest assured that checking in with yourself is the best way to get aligned with the right energy, Libra.

When we’re engaged in struggle with ourselves, we're most likely to act out in ways that counter our best interests. This week you may find that you're obsessing or fixating on things that tie you up in knots, and while you may not be able to control that, you can strive to manage where you allow your thinking to linger. If you don’t, you may find yourself stirring the pot and initiating conflicts unnecessarily.

If any zodiac sign is down to take a risk, it’s you, Sagittarius. This is a fertile time to take chances, but it’s really important that you prioritize the things that give you life, that support your wellness, and that offer room to grow. Not all opportunities that are good on paper are good in reality. And sometimes the right thing comes at the wrong time, and that makes it a no. Be discerning this week.

Having boundaries is a beautiful thing. It’s not about saying no to others, even though it often includes saying no. It’s about knowing who you are and what you can or cannot do in a healthy way. It's about giving yourself the space to honor that. As a way to invest in self-care, do your best to observe and hold your own boundaries this week, Capricorn.

If you’re feeling unsure of where you stand in your relationships, it’s wise to take some time to yourself. Check in with your assumptions, and before you go and do anything about it, foster some acceptance of where things are and how you feel. Your relationships likely need some TLC right now, but not all attention is good attention, Aquarius! Strive to seek mutual understanding and care instead of quick fixes this week.
