This week we’ve got Mars retrograde aligning with the Sun, the Moon, and Mercury.  This means that there will be errors and fuckups involving weapons.  Which is exactly NOT what I want to read for the morning of my last match before Nationals, but hey, the stars didn’t ask my opinion.

One particularly notable thing is Saturn is moving directly now, so it’s just bad news instead of ultra-bad news.  Remember:  Saturn is a dude carrying a sharp farm implement who is pissed off because his junk has been chopped off.  And he wasn’t that nice of a guy to begin with, what with the cannibalism and all.  Still, it’s less shitty to be a Capricorn today than it was a week ago.  Yay!

It’s not just myself that has to be on the lookout for accidents, it’s all of us as that Mercury mentioned earlier is in Scorpio.  This is typically associated with mishaps, and more specifically (but not exclusively) accidents related to acting or moving too quickly.  Watch out for speed traps.  Mars retrograde being in Aries is another warning to chill a little bit, and Venus in Virgo is a carrot complementing the other sticks, as it’s a suggestion that mellowing out will be rewarded.  The moon in Taurus is difficult to interpret in light of all these other happenings.  Typically anything happening in Taurus would build on the whole theme of “slow and steady is good” but the moon is inherently chaotic, so the best I can come up with right now (I’ll edit this if I have any further insights (lol no I won’t)) is that it’s advising not to take “slow down” to mean “stop.”  You’ll still need to work towards whatever goal is on the list this week, just be careful doing it.
