In this episode...Monday begins sociable, busy and interactive — but by later in the day, you may be ready to reclaim some space for yourself. The Moon begins with a supportive sextile to Mercury, bringing conversation, ideas, movement and plenty of interaction. But as the Moon squares Venus, there can be a point where we've simply had enough input from other people. Then the Moon moves into Leo, turning our attention back towards our own needs, priorities and sense of self. With Chiron and Pluto also involved, we may become particularly aware of where we've been accommodating, performing, people-pleasing or allowing other people's expectations to take up too much room. This doesn't have to become a confrontation. Sometimes it's simply about knowing what you need and being able to say, “That's not for me right now,” without a lengthy explanation. Finally, the Moon's trine to Neptune offers a much softer ending to the day — creativity, reflection, journalling, music, rest or anything that gives you a little soulful space to reconnect with yourself. So Monday really is a day of two halves: connect with the world, then come home to yourself. 🌿 And in today's 5 Minute Astrology lesson, we're meeting Venus — finding Venus in your birth chart and beginning to explore how you naturally relate, connect, value and attract. https://youtu.be/T-Epu3fjJ7w

In this episode...From 6th–12th September, Venus and Mercury take centre stage. On the 10th, Venus enters Scorpio while Mercury enters Libra — beginning a fascinating conversation around relationships, communication, trust, vulnerability, values and what we're ready to understand at a deeper level. This becomes particularly interesting because both Venus and Mercury will retrograde through this territory next month. What we're thinking about, talking about, wanting or discovering now may therefore be the opening chapter of a much longer conversation. Then on the 11th we have a New Moon at 18° Virgo, offering a fresh opportunity to improve, simplify, organise or put something right. With supportive connections to Mars, Uranus and Pluto around this New Moon, something doesn't necessarily have to change dramatically overnight. A door may simply open: a new thought, a better method, a cleaner decision or a different way of approaching something that hasn't quite been working. By the 12th, Mercury trines Pluto and opposes Neptune, taking our conversations deeper while reminding us that we may not yet see the entire picture. Insight doesn't necessarily mean conclusion. Throughout this forecast, I'm exploring the developing relationship between Virgo, Libra and Scorpio: discernment and improvement; relationship and dialogue; depth, honesty and regeneration. So perhaps the question for this week is: What are you beginning to understand now that you may need to come back to later? And throughout the week I'll be continuing 5 Minute Astrology, using the astrology happening in the sky to help you explore your own birth chart one small piece at a time.

I owe those of you who turned up for tonight’s 5MA Wrap-Up a big apology. ❤️ I was in Lisbon today meeting one of our Premium members, @Saskia Faelens in person, so I’d moved tonight’s Wrap-Up in my own diary. Unfortunately, I’ve just discovered that I didn’t successfully save the change in the Skool calendar — so as far as you were concerned, I was meant to be there. Four of you turned up and waited for me, and one of you very kindly messaged me (thanks @Cathy Hammond ). Unusually, I didn’t check Skool again until I was heading to bed, which is when I discovered what had happened. I am SO sorry. In more than eight years of running online sessions, I don’t think I’ve ever made a diary mistake quite like this one! I work solo, so unfortunately there wasn’t another pair of eyes to catch it when I didn’t. Please accept my apologies — particularly to those of you who set aside your Friday evening and turned up. I really do value your time. I’d love to make it up to you by holding our Wrap-Up on Sunday at 8pm instead. I’ll make absolutely sure THAT one is in the Skool calendar. 😁❤️ And I will answer as many questions as I can related to your charts and 5MA. And as for me today, when I met up with Saskia in Lisbon, we went on the cable car and I faced my fear of heights.........yikes! Louisa x

Getting extra intel abotu your jupiter (or any planet) is really helpful. Knowing your element describes an extra part of your expansion. This is a REALLY EASY EPISODE BTW....

🔎 Find it 🧩 Identify it 💭 Interpret it 👀 Notice it 💬 Share it This one blew my mind even more than the last one. I assumed that I would find my opposite style, but what I actually found was that lots of my own work projects sit on the other side of my chart. Fascinating. I wonder what you'll find.
