Welcome to another week of cosmic weather! This week brings some highly intense astrological clashes, including fiery Mars squaring Jupiter and an intense Mercury square to Pluto, which might perfectly explain why tempers seem to be flaring all around you. Join Yasmin Boland from the beautiful shores of Lake Geneva as she breaks down exactly what these potent transits mean and how to navigate the tension with grace. You’ll learn why Pluto going retrograde is actually your cosmic permission to detox your life, and how the current waning Moon cycle is the perfect time to finally let go of what’s no longer serving you.

What You’ll Learn
Mercury Enters Taurus: Why the incendiary communications of the past few weeks are finally starting to chill out.

Waning Moon Guidance: Why right now is the ideal time to let the drama fall away, drop old arguments, and surrender what you can't control.

The astrology this week is pretty full on.

We’ve got some intense and unusual alignments, including Mars meeting Saturn, plus a huge pile-up of planets in Aries.

So yes, the energy can feel exhausting. There can be pressure. There can be moments where you’re pushed right up against your limits.

But here’s the thing.

This is also powerful, activating energy. It’s the kind of sky that asks you to get real about what you’re carrying, especially emotionally. If there’s something you need to forgive, now’s the time to start loosening your grip on it.

Because as intense as it is, this week isn’t here to break you. It’s here to move you forward.

And if you lean into it, there’s real potential here for healing, for turning a corner… and even for opening your heart in ways you didn’t expect.

Takeaways

• Intense planetary alignments bring challenges and exhaustion.
• Forgiveness and positive change are possible amidst the intensity.

Why You’re Suddenly Mad as Hell: Surviving Mars in Aries

This week we're talking about the red elephant in the room - Mars in Aries. Yes, it's a bit (a lot) war-like and yes it's kind of a worry to have this once-e-very-two-years transit taking place at a time when all the world leaders are sabre-rattling ... but what else can it mean and is there the chance of a positive spin?

This Week’s Astrology: Full Moon in Libra + Venus Meets Pluto

This is one of those weeks where emotions peak… and the truth comes out.

If something’s been building in one of your key relationships, this could be the moment it reveals itself. We’re heading towards a powerful Full Moon in Libra, the sign of partnerships, balance and fairness, and it’s being activated by some intense energy.

Full Moon in Libra: Relationship Truths

Full Moons bring things to a head. They illuminate what’s been hidden and ask us to release what’s no longer working.

With this Full Moon in Libra, the focus is firmly on your one-to-one relationships. That could be romantic, business or even friendships.

Ask yourself:

• Where am I giving too much?
• Where am I accepting too little?
• What feels out of balance?
  

If a relationship is strong, this energy can deepen it. If something’s off, it’s likely to become very obvious.

Venus Square Pluto: Intensity, Power and Truth

This Full Moon comes with a twist.

Venus, the planet of love and money, is clashing with Pluto.

This can bring:

• power struggles
• emotional intensity
• buried truths rising to the surface
• issues around control, obsession or self-worth
  

If something has been simmering beneath the surface, this is when you may finally see it clearly.

Venus into Taurus: A Return to What’s Real

At the same time, Venus moves into Taurus, one of its home signs. This is a grounding influence. It brings a desire for:

• stability
• comfort
• sensuality
• real, lasting love and financial security
  

You may find yourself craving something more solid and meaningful now.

Mercury Trine Jupiter: Talk It Through

Here’s the good news. Mercury harmonising with Jupiter means communication flows more easily. This is your chance to:

• say what needs to be said
• have the conversation you’ve been avoiding
• find solutions and move forward

Even if things feel intense, there is real potential for breakthroughs.

What To Do This Week

• Notice where your life feels out of balance
• Let go of old emotional patterns or relationship dynamics
• Be honest with yourself about what’s really going on
• Choose what feels safe, solid and true
• Have the conversation, if you know it’s time
  

Final Thought

If something shifts this week, trust it.

Try asking:

What is this showing me about what I truly want?

Lilith Untamed, healing the feminine, and a powerful week of astrology

This week on the Mainly Moonology podcast, Yasmin is joined by astrologer Christina Rodenbeck, also known as the Oxford Astrologer. Together they explore the astrology of the week ahead and dive deep into one of astrology’s most fascinating archetypes: Black Moon Lilith.

If you’re feeling intense emotions, powerful insights, or a push to make real changes in your life, the astrology this week may well explain why.

The week begins with a beautiful and dreamy combination as Mars harmonises with Jupiter while the Sun meets Neptune. This energy can feel uplifting, imaginative and expansive. It’s ideal for dreaming big, visualising what you want to create and reconnecting with your intuition. Just be mindful of over-indulgence, because Neptune energy can blur boundaries and make everything feel a little bit hazy.

Later in the week the tone shifts as the Sun aligns with Saturn before forming a supportive connection with Pluto.

This brings the perfect moment to move from dreaming to planning. Saturn helps us get serious, organise our ideas and create a strategy. Pluto then adds the power of transformation, encouraging us to take action and start making real changes.

One of the most meaningful moments of the week comes when Venus meets Chiron, the wounded healer. This alignment invites us to look honestly at our relationships, our self-worth and our experiences of love. It can bring old wounds to the surface but also offers a chance for deep healing. In fact, this may be the final Venus-Chiron conjunction in Aries before Chiron leaves the sign, making it a symbolic moment for releasing long-held pain and choosing to move forward with greater self-understanding.

The conversation then turns to the larger backdrop of the year: the powerful Saturn–Pluto sextile. These two planets working together can bring real momentum for change. Saturn represents discipline, structure and effort, while Pluto represents deep transformation and the clearing away of what no longer serves. When they cooperate like this, it’s a reminder that meaningful change often comes through commitment and steady work.

Finally, Yasmin and Christina explore Black Moon Lilith, the focus of Christina’s new book Lilith Untamed. Lilith is not a physical body but a mathematical point in the Moon’s orbit, often associated with the untamed, wild or rejected aspects of ourselves. Christina describes Lilith as the part of us that refuses to conform, the raw and instinctive side of human nature that may be hidden beneath social conditioning.

The message for the week is clear: dream big, make a plan, do the work, and be willing to transform.
