This week marks a real turning point. We are moving through a historic Uranus shift that has been building for years, and it lands just as we pass the halfway point between the solstice and the spring equinox. That matters. This is the moment where the year quietly asks, “Are you ready to move forward differently?” The energy is not loud, but it is serious.
Keep in mind that small choices now can lead to big changes later, especially around stability, money, and the way you build your life. Let’s get into the transits of the week.
As the week opens, the Moon moves into Virgo, which puts productivity front and center. This is a great time to get organized, clean up loose ends, and make realistic plans. At the same time, restless energy can make it tempting to rush ahead. Instead of reacting, focus on one small improvement you can make today. That will go further than a bold but rushed move.
Then comes the headline moment. Uranus officially turns direct in Taurus, ending months of stalled momentum. This is a big deal. Over the past several years, Uranus has been reshaping how we deal with security, finances, work, and self worth. Now, forward motion resumes. If you have done the work and stayed steady through changes, this shift can feel like a green light.
Try this reflection today: What change have I been preparing for, even if it felt slow or uncomfortable?
As the days continue, it becomes easier to emotionally support the changes you know you need to make. The Virgo Moon helps you take practical steps instead of getting overwhelmed. You may find yourself more willing to adjust routines or habits that no longer fit. This is not about starting over. It is about refining what already exists.
By the time the Moon enters Libra, attention shifts to balance. Relationships, boundaries, and fairness come into focus. At the same time, Mercury clashes with Uranus, which can stir impatience or sudden ideas. Pause before acting on impulse. Gather information. Think things through. This energy works best when you stay flexible instead of forcing an outcome.
Later in the week, Mercury moves into Pisces, softening the mental edge. Creativity and intuition increase, but focus may slip. This is a good moment to slow your pace and protect your energy. Make room for rest, especially as Mercury prepares for its upcoming retrograde. Planning ahead now will save you stress later.
As the weekend arrives, the Moon enters Scorpio, asking for depth and honesty. A serious topic may require your full attention, especially if it has been lingering beneath the surface. This is not the time to avoid it. Handle it directly so you can move forward without carrying extra weight.
Tensions may rise as Venus clashes with Uranus, especially in relationships. People may act unpredictably, or plans may shift without warning. Instead of reacting, step back and observe.
Try this reflection today: Where am I being asked to respond with patience instead of control?
The week closes with the Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio, a powerful moment for release. This is about letting go of emotional patterns, habits, or attachments that keep you stuck. You do not need to fix everything at once. Clearing even one thing creates space for what comes next.
This week is not about dramatic leaps. It is about steady shifts that actually last. Uranus moving forward reminds you that change does not always arrive with noise. Sometimes it shows up quietly and asks if you are ready to choose differently.
