Mercury Sextile Pluto
Energy:This alignment brings a piercing mental clarity and a strong desire to get to the bottom of things. Pluto is the planet of transformation, the unconscious, and hidden truths and when paired with Mercury (the planet of communication and thought), we’re drawn into deep, powerful conversations. It’s a day for shadow work, inner truth-telling, and uncovering what’s really driving our thoughts or emotions.
Collective Effect: Expect powerful revelations both personally and collectively. Secrets may come to light, buried feelings may surface, and conversations can take a turn for the transformational. There’s a heightened awareness of psychological patterns and motivations which can lead to breakthrough insights and healing if we’re willing to dig a little deeper.
Most Affected Signs:
Scorpio and Capricorn (Pluto’s home and current sign)
Gemini and Virgo (Mercury-ruled)
How to Work with It:
Use this day for journaling, therapy, or honest communication.
Be open to hearing difficult truths they’re showing up to empower you, not shame you.
Do some deep reflection. Ask yourself: What am I afraid to say? What truth have I been avoiding?
Shadow work practices are incredibly potent right now this is an ideal time to integrate the parts of yourself you've disowned or hidden.
Sun Square Mars
Energy:This is an activating, fiery, and sometimes volatile energy. The Sun represents ego, identity, and self-expression, while Mars is our drive, ambition, and willpower. A square brings tension in this case, it might feel like you’re being pulled between wanting to assert yourself and needing to hold back to avoid conflict.
Collective Effect:Expect frustration, irritability, and impulsive actions if the energy isn’t grounded. People may be more combative or defensive. This can manifest in both external conflicts (arguments, road rage, competitiveness) and internal ones (feeling torn between rest and action, assertion vs. avoidance).
Most Affected Signs:
Taurus (Sun’s current sign)
Aries and Scorpio (Mars-ruled signs)
Leo (Sun-ruled)
How to Work with It:
Channel excess energy into physical movement: dance, run, clean, or do something active.
Practice conscious pauses before reacting especially in emotionally charged conversations.
Take ownership of your actions and don’t be afraid to walk away from drama.
This is a chance to observe how you handle assertiveness and conflict without letting your ego run the show.
Venus Sextile Uranus
Energy:Playful, spontaneous, and liberating. Venus rules our relationships, values, beauty, and finances. Uranus is the planet of surprise, innovation, and change. When they align in a harmonious sextile, there’s potential for pleasant surprises and unexpected joy especially in love and creative expression.
Collective Effect:There’s an increased openness to new experiences, unconventional relationships, and exciting bursts of creativity. People may feel more inspired to break out of ruts whether that’s in your romantic life, wardrobe, or budget. This energy favours spontaneous acts of beauty, affection, or indulgence (within reason!).
Most Affected Signs:
Taurus and Libra (Venus-ruled)
Aquarius (Uranus-ruled)
How to Work with It:
Follow the fun. Let joy be your guide today even in small ways.
Say yes to spontaneity an impromptu date, a new outfit, a bold artistic idea.
Shake up your routine. Try something different in how you show love or spend money.
Be open to meeting new people or having unexpected heart connections even brief ones can spark something meaningful.
here’s one thoughtfully chosen prompt from each section, with a deeper explanation of why it matters to the collective right now and how we can work with it intentionally:
Mercury Sextile Pluto
What truth within me have I been avoiding and why?
Why It Matters to Us as a Collective:
This transit encourages collective honesty not just in our personal lives, but across society. Mercury and Pluto together help lift veils, uncover buried truths, and initiate conversations we’ve been too afraid to have. As a society, we’re more open to confronting what’s been suppressed: mental health, trauma, injustice, shadow patterns.
How to Work With It:
Instead of numbing or bypassing, get curious about what’s been left unsaid. Journaling through this prompt can bring clarity and healing. Individually, this makes space for deeper connection. Collectively, it helps us shift out of denial and into transformation one honest insight at a time.
Sun Square Mars
Where in my life am I feeling resistance or frustration? What’s underneath it?
Why It Matters to Us as a Collective:
This energy often fuels conflict online, in relationships, or in how we deal with authority and drive. When ego and will clash, people project frustration outward instead of exploring it inward. By exploring the root of our resistance, we can prevent unnecessary conflict and instead move into conscious action.
How to Work With It:
Use this question as a check-in. Is the frustration really about the situation… or something deeper? Redirect this fiery energy into constructive outlets like physical movement, creative expression, or goal-aligned action. When the collective pauses to feel before reacting, we create space for healthier responses.
Venus Sextile Uranus
What new idea or desire is quietly trying to get my attention? What’s stopping me from exploring it?
Why It Matters to Us as a Collective:
Venus-Uranus energy often brings a wave of unconventional thinking in love, beauty, and value systems. This opens us to more authentic ways of connecting whether through art, pleasure, or partnership. But fear of change often holds us back from following inspired nudges.
How to Work With It:
Tuning in to this prompt helps you hear the “whisper” before it becomes a scream. As we embrace innovation and spontaneity with openness (rather than fear), we create a more liberated, joy-led collective. Let inspiration guide you even in small ways.

Final Guidance for the Day:
Balance is key. Use Mercury-Pluto to get honest, Sun-Mars to move intentionally, and Venus-Uranus to lighten the mood with a little magic. If you're feeling emotionally full today, know that this mix of intensity and inspiration is designed to break stagnation and spark awakening.
