Nervous system regulation, severing what no longer supports survival, deepening bonds, and tending to the body
This is not a light week. The astrology is intense, raw, and deeply activating — both personally and collectively. The focus throughout the week is on what your body is responding to, what needs to be cut away, and where connection and care are essential for survival. Move slowly. Stay resourced. Be in community.
Monday — Venus square the Moon
We begin the week with emotional friction around needs, intimacy, and day-to-day rhythms in relationships.
After Venus’s recent meeting with Pluto, there’s heightened awareness around what actually sustains connection — not in theory, but in practice.
Ask yourself:
- What daily habits support my relationships?
- Where am I overextending or under-nourishing myself in the name of connection?
- What needs adjusting before we hit Tuesday’s intensity?
This day is about noticing — tuning into what wants to be tended to before bigger decisions are made.
Tuesday
Mars conjunct Pluto (Major Transit)
This is the core transit of the week — and it’s powerful.
Mars represents action, severing, desire, conflict, survival, and instinct.
Pluto unearths, exposes, intensifies, and transforms.
Together, they activate survival mode.
What has been unfolding over the last week may now reach a point of no return. Something needs to be cut out, confronted, or radically redirected. This is not about subtle change — it’s about what your body knows can no longer continue.
Questions to sit with:
- What is draining my nervous system?
- What must end in order for me to feel safer or more regulated?
- What action — even a small one — restores agency?
Collectively, this transit reflects extreme power struggles, corruption continuing to be exposed (perhaps in new ways), and violence used as a tool of intimidation and control. Uprisings and resistance affect us whether they are outside our door or thousands of miles away. This energy attempts to separate — through fear, exhaustion, and overwhelm.
The medicine: deepen bonds. Stay connected. Lean on trusted people. Be in therapy. Be in community. Isolation is not the answer under Mars-Pluto pressure.
This intensity doesn’t disappear overnight — it echoes for weeks. Pace yourself.
Neptune enters Aries
This is a massive generational shift.
The last time Neptune moved through Aries was 1861–1875, during the U.S. Civil War and Reconstruction era. A time defined by ideological conflict, war, sacrifice, destruction, and attempts at rebuilding.
Neptune dissolves, dreams, spiritualizes, idealizes.
Aries initiates, fights, risks, asserts, and separates.
We are moving from Pisces (binding, merging, dissolving) into Aries (individuality, courage, risk, self-definition).
This is the beginning of a long unfolding:
- What does authenticity actually mean?
- What dreams are worth risking for?
- How do we act on faith — even without guarantees?
Neptune inspires the dream. Aries dares to begin.
It won’t be perfect — but it’s the start of something new.
Saturn entering Aries in the coming weeks will ask us to build structure around these visions, but for now, this is about imagining what could exist — and daring to take the first step.
Moon conjunct Uranus
This brings the astrology straight into the body.
The Moon represents emotional and physical needs.
Uranus shocks, disrupts, and destabilizes.
Something from the Mars-Pluto activation may hit the nervous system suddenly. Anxiety, restlessness, emotional spikes, or exhaustion are possible.
Extra care is essential:
- Ground your body
- Reduce stimulation
- Slow down decisions
- Tend to sleep, hydration, and nourishment
Your body is communicating loudly this week. Listen.
Wednesday — Mercury conjunct Venus
A welcome shift.
This is a supportive day for conversation, repair, and recalibration in relationships. It’s not about dramatic declarations — it’s about the small but necessary adjustments that help things flow more smoothly.
Good for:
- Honest conversations
- Re-negotiating agreements
- Clearing misunderstandings
- Reconnecting with care and intention
A little communication goes a long way here.
Saturday — Moon conjunct Jupiter
Big emotional energy.
This transit can amplify feelings, hope, grief, joy, or meaning-making. There’s room for perspective and emotional expansion — but also a tendency to overdo it.
Let this be a day of gentle optimism, not pressure to feel “better.”
Sunday — Moon opposite Pluto & Mars
We close the week with a boundary test.
Oppositions reveal limits. With this opposition it is around:
- Emotional capacity
- Physical energy
- Power dynamics
- Fear responses and survival patterns
Your body may say enough.
This day reinforces the core message of the week:
Basic care is not optional.
Rest, nourishment, safety, and support systems are essential — not indulgent.
The astrology is intense. The world is intense.
Your nervous system deserves care.
Final Note
This week — and the one before it — is challenging on every level. You are not failing if all you can manage is the basics. Staying regulated, connected, and resourced is the work right now.
You don’t have to hold this alone.
Care for your body. Care for your people.
That is how we survive and rebuild.
