There’s a sleepy energy that seems to hang in the air at this time of year, but this week it’s not just the usual end-of-season lethargy.
The Sun and Mars usually add some pep to our steps, but now they’re stationed in Scorpio and pushing us inward. Their harmonious trines to Neptune seem to soften the edges of reality, inviting us to listen to the ethereal whispers of our subconscious minds and directing our attention to our dreams.
You might think of dreaminess as a passive exercise, but in this case it is quite actively shaping how we see our future. At the same time, wise Saturn squares off with the Sun and Mars, imploring us to channel our energy into constructive change rather than to outward force.
A waning opposition with Uranus rattles our perspective on the status quo. Our subconscious minds are working overtime to reveal the truth behind the illusions we hold dear. I suggest we all listen.
