The direct, uncomplicated energies of fire get us moving this weekend. The Moon is in restless Sagittarius, which favors physical movement, competing, active socializing (dancing), exploring, art-making, day tripping. The Moon will be at its Third Quarter phase, when there's a big letting go, to make space for the New Moon. Since Sagittarius inspires a far-reaching outlook, this could mean releasing beliefs that keep you from growing. The passions of Sagittarius light a fire in the mind, and burn away whatever robs you of faith, optimism, sense of possibility.
There's another boost of the fire element when Venus goes into Aries on Sunday the 7th (7:33 am EST). When Venus is in Aries, we don't wait for love to find us. We get out there, look around with lusty eyes, and flirt openly. Venus in her most aggressive 'tude (in Aries) meets up with Mars in cocky Leo on Sunday in a passionate trine. Mars is still retrograde until the 10th, so whatever is sparked comes from deep inside your personal caldera. The stage is set for a fast-moving love affair that makes you feel really alive. Or, if you're attached, the old fires are rekindled. Old flames might be a factor here, too.
This lively weekend ends with a magnetizing Mercury-Jupiter conjunction in empathic Pisces. Deep feelings can be expressed in grand ways. Between the ardent and virile fire energies, and the big romantic imagination, it's a great weekend for sacred sexuality. This is about finding ways to be turned on by big love, and experiencing sex as true love making, not just a physical act.
You might find yourself overcoming inhibitions, to explore the primal side. And allowing yourself more pleasure, which is sublime when it's comes out of your love. Here's a quote from Charge of the Goddess, adapted by Starhawk on finding the sacred in sexuality. "Let My worship be in the heart that rejoices, for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals. Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you."
