This week’s planetary weather is potentially creative, deeply reflective, and productive. Using Mercury retrograde’s reflective awareness, there's an openness toward trying new things. Or, it can manifest as a stronghold of the past and all that is familiar, clinging on for dear life like a clenched crab claw. Patience is something to practice consciously.

There is an openness toward trying something off the beaten path, especially in collaboration with a friend, as artistic Venus connects with eclectic Uranus on Monday. This is grounds for aesthetic invention—a new dish, perhaps. The planet of the mind, Mercury, meets with aggressive Mars on Monday, too—be careful around those whose pride has been hurt! Of course, it’s not fair to feel as though you have to tip-toe around a sleeping lion, but watch your words. Mercury’s meeting with Mars inspires impulsive speaking. Provocative speech triggers a prideful uproar and hurtful or aggressive things can be blurted out.It's easy to clearly see your goals and the areas of life that need a renewed sense of commitment as the sun faces off with responsible Saturn on Tuesday. Take a moment to look at the things you need to repair and own up to as the slower-moving planet of structure is currently retrograde. Be independent and hold your own hand as you power through responsibilities left on the back-burner.The most creative day of the week is Thursday: The sun harmonizes with mystical Neptune, deepening empathy and spiritual bonding. Inspiration comes from things that are not of this world, and there's a connection to the sublime. Action planet Mars clashes with rebellious Uranus on Thursday, too, encouraging one to assert their originality. It's a time to break free from restriction and norms by showing individuality, but do so with caution—Uranus is accident-prone! Be gentle with yourself and others every day this week.

The sun faces off with power planet Pluto on Sunday, revealing patterns of jealousy or power imbalance. Pluto can be destructive and obsessive, and under the light of the sun, there is clarity about the things that are harmful toward the ego, putting us face-to-face with our fears. Be aware of what you’re clinging to, and try to probe deeper as to why. Pluto can get deep beneath the surface—use this time for psychological breakthroughs.
