Mercury, our planet of communication, moves from Taurus into Gemini and joins Jupiter, which is already there. Overall, this shift makes our communication much more verbal than physical – and quite a few of us will prefer chatting online over hitting the gym, which is a shame. This is a great time to talk, share, and release emotional residue that has built up. The signs that will be most affected are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.

The most significant transition of the week is Saturn, the stern planet, moving from Pisces – a water sign where it has resided for about two and a half years – into Aries, a fire sign. This marks a significant relief for all the mutable signs, who recently began to feel some relief from emotional flooding and drama caused by Neptune’s move to Aries as well. Now, with Saturn’s heaviness and pessimism also shifting into Aries, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo, and Gemini can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Saturn is essentially the planet responsible for turning our potential into reality. One of the ways it does this is by applying pressure and halting growth processes that haven’t fully matured, or by throwing a wrench into the gears of anything flawed or not yet ready to manifest. Saturn forces us to repeatedly examine our actions and initiatives. In some cases, it creates disappointments in processes or people and compels us to take full responsibility without relying on anyone else. In essence, Saturn shakes the very roots of our actions – especially in business, practical matters, and our interactions with the world – and forces us to confront, through the crises it generates, our ability to realize our potential in the real world and make things happen, despite – or perhaps because of – financial or professional burdens.

Aries is a cardinal sign, one that generates energy. In Aries – a fire sign – Saturn may actually bring effective structure by setting limits and clearly defining the actions and initiatives of Aries, with all its boundless fire energy. Instead of wasting that energy on excitement over new ventures and beginnings, Saturn forces Aries to focus on one or two initiatives and see them through to completion. This is a positive influence, though it may cause frustration for many, as processes that should be fast may be delayed or even stall due to Saturn’s perfectionist demands. As the saying goes: what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. If we listen to Saturn’s messages during times like these, we can harness the action-driven fire element and make it more organized and effective than ever… hopefully.

Who will be most affected by this transition? The cardinal signs: Aries, Capricorn, Libra, and Cancer.
