There’s just so much to do out on the trail!

 

This is one of those woman-centered weeks with the moon and Venus being the main drivers of activity.  This especially comes into play on The 26th (primarily) and 27th (less so) in which Venus lines up with the principal three to make the most auspicious time to have a date night with your spouse/live-in partner.  The back half of the week is a most excellent time for Scorpio, as it begins its month with the moon and Venus en suite.  The last major event is difficult to read.  Saturn returns to direct motion on the 25th, though technically it ceases being retrograde a couple of days earlier.  Now typically, a planet returning to direct motion is a good thing, and events which happen over longer scales are considered more auspicious than common ones, and Saturn changing direction is the rarest of all the planetary changes.  But this is Saturn we’re talking about here.  It’s the only planet not named after a god and not coincidentally the only one generally considered baleful so is an unlucky sign returning to normal a lucky event or not?
