Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Pluto are up with them.New moon 5°39′ SagittariusA new moon is the start of a lunar cycle — the sky goes dark, the seed gets planted. Good for intention-setting and quiet beginnings. Whatever you start in this window will keep unfolding for two weeks toward the full moon.Mercury 27°57′ ScorpioMercury governs the moving parts: words, ideas, short trips, transactions. How you think out loud, how you listen, what holds your attention.Venus 3°16′ CapricornVenus rules love, taste, money, and pleasure. What you find beautiful, who you reach for, how you receive. Less about romance per se and more about what you let in.Mars 1°47′ CapricornMars is the engine — desire, anger, drive, sex. How you start things, what you defend, where you push back.Jupiter 24°27′ VirgoJupiter is the principle of expansion — where you grow, where you stretch, where you say yes. Also where you overdo. The placement describes the room you have to become bigger than you have been.Pluto 5°08′ AquariusPluto works underground — power, obsession, death-and-rebirth cycles. It moves slowly and changes things permanently. Where it sits is where life keeps composting you into someone new.
