Tuesday belongs to Mars—the planet of action, drive, fight, and unvarnished truth. As an astrologer with Mars, Mercury, and Pallas Athena conjunct in Sagittarius, Tuesday is my ultimate power center. Mars is the heat that forces us to cut through the noise, face the truth, and claim our healing. We aren’t just sitting around watching the sky—we’re using Tuesday’s fire to fuel our evolution.

The Weekly Skycast
If this week feels intense, heavy, or completely unpredictable—let’s name what it actually is: it feels chaotic because it’s a mastery point.
The universe is handing us fresh momentum with the Autumn Equinox and major shifts in how we express our drive, but it is flat-out refusing to let us build a new future on an old, shaky foundation. With heavy retrogrades stress-testing our growth across the sky, we are being asked to close the loop on old self-delusions, ancestral conditioning, and comfortable illusions so we can step across this seasonal threshold as clear, sovereign, and grounded human beings. Below is your roadmap through this week’s weekly transits, complete with your Dragged vs. Divine guidance to keep you grounded in your power.

@7:06 pm Central The Sun Moves from Virgo into Libra in the 7th House and this also marks the Autumn Equinox Aspects: The Sun is in Opposition to the Ascendant and Neptune RX in Aries in the 1st House
The universe hits the official seasonal reset button as the Sun enters Libra in the 7th House, marking the Autumn Equinox. Equinox energy brings a fresh, initiating wave of Cardinal power straight into your 7th House of lovers, exes, business partners, and open enemies. But because the Sun steps into the 7th House facing a direct opposition to both Saturn Retrograde and Neptune Retrograde conjunct in Aries in the 1st House (bridging across a Pisces Ascendant), this isn't about cosmic punishment—it’s about self-mastery. Saturn is that tough father figure who loves us too much to let us keep playing small or acting helpless. Saturn isn't trying to protect you from ever getting hurt again; Saturn wants to make sure you actually know how to stand up for yourself when shit hits the fan. With both Saturn and Neptune in retrograde, the universe is directly stress-testing your personal growth, bringing you right back around the track to see if you mastered the lesson or if you’re still falling for the same illusions. The people sitting across from you are acting as real-time mirrors, revealing whether you are standing in your earned authority or slipping back into old, comfortable self-delusions.
- 🥀 Primal: Taking Saturn's stress-test as a personal attack, playing the victim when people hold up a mirror, and using fluid Pisces energy to avoid taking accountability for your life.
- 🪷 Sovereign: Embracing Saturnian mastery, passing the stress-test with your head held high, and proving you know how to stand up for yourself and handle your own business.

At 10:23 PM Central - Moon moves into Pisces next to the North Node in Aquarius in the 10th house in opposition to the South Node in Leo in the 4th House.
The spotlight turns toward the balance between your private roots and your public presence as the Moon moves into Pisces in the 10th House, sitting right next to the North Node in Aquarius, while directly opposing the South Node in Leo in the 4th House. With a mystical Pisces Moon highlighting 10th House themes, you might feel like your intuitive, emotional world is a bit more exposed than usual. This creates a unique synergy with the North Node in Aquarius—where the Pisces Moon operates through deep feeling, the North Node in Aquarius may invite you to channel that intuition into forward-thinking innovation and collective impact. Meanwhile, the South Node in Leo sits down in your 4th House of home, family, and lineage. Your Leo South Node is a natural gift—it represents your innate star power and warmth. But in the 4th House, I wouldn't be surprised if you notice a subtle tug-of-war between craving your private sanctuary versus stepping into public visibility. It could also bring up old ancestral patterns or family rules around how you were taught it was safe to be seen. Being seen can be a deeply empowering experience; the key is noticing if old habits or the comfort of hiding in your private world are keeping you from stepping into your full potential.
- 🥀 Primal: Feeling tempted to retreat into private isolation when visibility feels overwhelming, or letting inherited family rules dictate how you show up in the world.
- 🪷Sovereign: Honoring your innate Leo warmth as your unshakeable foundation, while choosing to bring your intuitive wisdom and vision out into the public sphere.

At 5:23 AM Central - The Moon Moves into Aries in the 7th House. Moon is conjunct Neptune RX (7th House) and Saturn RX (8th House)
When a fiery Aries Moon enters the 7th House of relationships and open encounters, it might feel like shots fired—an immediate urge to react, set a boundary, or address tension head-on. But because this Moon immediately runs into Neptune and Saturn Retrograde, you could notice a push-and-pull between fantasy and cold reality. Neptune may bring up idealizations or misunderstandings in your close connections, while Saturn Retrograde in the 8th House steps in to test the structural integrity of your emotional and shared commitments.
- 🥀 Primal: Reacting impulsively to relationship friction, letting emotional confusion trigger defensiveness, or picking fights over unexamined fears.
- 🪷 Sovereign: Pausing before reacting, allowing Saturn's discipline to cool off Aries' heat, and using emotional clarity to establish healthy, mature boundaries.
At 11:49 AM Central – Full Moon in Aries in the 4th House. Moon in opposition to the Sun in Libra in 10th House. Moon Trine Mars in Cancer in the 8th House. Moon Trine the Ascendant in the 1st House in Scorpio. The energy ramps up as the Aries Moon moves into opposition with the Sun in Libra. During this alignment, the Aries Moon forms supportive trines to Mars in Cancer in the 8th House and the Ascendant in Scorpio in the 1st House.
This opposition lights up the axis between personal autonomy and relational balance. With the Aries Moon bringing raw emotional energy and the Sun in Libra seeking harmony, I wouldn't be surprised if you feel a strong internal tug-of-war between doing what you need versus keeping the peace with others. Fortunately, the supportive trines from Mars in Cancer and a Scorpio Ascendant may provide the deep intuitive strength and emotional courage needed to navigate this tension without burning bridges.
- 🥀 Primal: Forcing your way through a situation just to maintain control, or letting underlying emotional resentment spill over into your interactions.
- 🪷 Sovereign: Balancing your need for personal independence with relational grace, using your emotional intuition to stand in your power without creating unnecessary conflict.
At 9:48 PM Central - A Pile Up of Asteroids and Planets in Aries in the 11th & 12th Houses. Neptune RX, Moon, Saturn, Pallas Athena, Vesta, Eris, and Chiron. We hit a major cosmic accumulation as a heavy stellium of planets and asteroids gathers in Aries across the 11th and 12th Houses: Neptune Retrograde, the Moon, Saturn Retrograde, Pallas Athena, Vesta, Ceres, and Chiron. Having this many powerhouse archetypes packed into Aries could feel like a massive pressure cooker of self-definition, strategy, wisdom, and healing. With Pallas Athena (strategy), Vesta (sacred focus), Ceres (nourishment), and Chiron (the wounded healer) joining Saturn and Neptune, you might notice a intense surge of mental and emotional processing happening behind the scenes (12th House) or within your community and long-term vision (11th House). This is a potent moment for deep internal work, strategy, and auditing where you devote your sacred energy.
- 🥀 Primal: Feeling overwhelmed by internal noise, falling into hyper-fixation on personal wounds, or trying to force immediate action when the energy calls for strategic reflection.
- 🪷 Sovereign: Channeling Pallas Athena's strategic wisdom and Vesta's devotion to audit your long-term goals, heal core identity wounds, and focus your energy on what truly matters.

At 9:48pm Central - Mars Leaves Cancer into Leo in the 3rd House (Hallelujah!) Square Mercury in Libra in the 6th House.
As the week comes to a close, we experience a major shift in how we direct our energy: Mars completes its journey through Cancer and strides into bold, expressive Leo in the 3rd House of communication, mindset, and local community. Where Mars in Cancer focused on guarding boundaries and protective action, Mars in Leo brings a warm, direct, and creative spark to how energy is expressed. However, as Mars steps into Leo, it immediately squares Mercury in Libra in the 6th House of daily routines and work dynamics. This square could bring up some friction as communication styles shift. While Mars in Leo encourages speaking up with passion and heart, you might notice a temptation to let pride or ego take the steering wheel—especially when navigating work obligations, scheduling, or daily logistics. The key is using Leo's natural warmth, generosity, and confidence to express truth, while honoring Mercury in Libra’s call for diplomacy, collaboration, and fairness in day-to-day interactions.
- 🥀 Primal: Letting pride drive conversations, getting overly defensive when ideas are challenged, or letting ego turn daily miscommunications into unnecessary drama.
- 🪷 Sovereign: Channeling Mars in Leo’s heartfelt, courageous energy to communicate with clarity and warmth, while maintaining Mercury in Libra’s grace and spirit of collaboration.

At 9:40 AM CDT - Moon moves into Taurus in the 6th House.
After the intense, high-octane Aries energy over the weekend, Monday morning brings a welcome exhale as the Moon moves into Taurus in the 6th House of health, daily routines, and practical systems. Taurus energy in the 6th House feels like an anchor hitting solid ground. As an Earth sign occupying a naturally practical house, this shift may feel like an immense relief, inviting you to slow your roll, drop out of your head, and reconnect with physical comfort and tangible stability. This is prime energy for organizing your physical space, nourishing your body, and tending to the unglamorous details of your daily life with steady patience. Rather than rushing to put out fires or reacting to every impulse, you might feel inspired to build sustainable routines that support your long-term peace.
- 🥀 Primal: Digging your heels in, resisting necessary adjustments to your routine out of stubbornness, or using comfort-seeking as a way to avoid dealing with practical responsibilities.
- 🪷 Sovereign: Grounding into physical reality, creating nourishing daily habits, and using Taurus’s steady focus to bring practical order and calm to your work and health systems.
