It’s going to be an interesting week at the “office”, judging by the asteroids. The only major planetary transits (aside from the moon, which I don’t cover here) involve Neptune and Uranus to Mars, Venus and Mercury. Neptune imparts his usual dreamy, foggy romantic vibes, while Uranus and Mercury can make us a little nervous and bajiggity. All of the remaining transits I have listed involve the asteroids and Eris (a dwarf planet like Pluto) and pertain to work, and are challenging aspects (square and quincunx).
Because Mars and Venus have been conjunct, they take turns having the same aspects to Lilith, Eris, and Vesta. Mars represents the masculine, Venus represents the feminine. Eris and Lilith represent the feminine warrior and the rebellious nature of the feminine and the fight to not be dominated. The planets deal one for him, one for her; Quincunx for him, quincunx for her; Square for him, square for her.
Vesta represents our sacred flame, or our work. If you’re a stay at home mom, that is your sacred flame. If you’re an entrepreneur, that is your sacred flame. If you’re a corporate employee, Vesta represents your work environment and conditions (but if you have a side hustle that is truly your passion and not just extra money, Vesta will represent that).
The North Node, representing your life purpose, mission, or calling, also has trines (which are harmonious) to both Mars and Venus. So overall, there’s a pretty strong focus on finding balance between the masculine and feminine energies within us, and around us.
If only this balance could be achieved in one week with some planetary aspects! We have a long way to go in this fight. But this is one of those weeks where you could have a significant realization or experience that shows you your value, or that shows you who undervalues you and where. What that experience will look like is unknown and depends on myriad factors. I’m not entirely certain that conflict can be avoided, but to be forewarned is to be forearmed.
This week’s BitchScopes will focus on the area of your chart where these energies are focused, which should give you an idea of how this could potentially play out at work.

ARIES - This week your words are both your most powerful weapon and most dangerous asset. You could initiate conflict, or you could sell ice cream in Alaska. Choose your battles carefully. If you decide that conflict is worth the fight, see it through, and know that you have more power at your back than you realize. You are currently in a period of time where your self image is shifting, for the positive, as a result of how you value yourself. As a result you will see the outside world valuing you more as well. This is one of those weeks that could be significant in the big picture, but you won’t see it until later.
TAURUS - Spiritual pursuits, finding meaning in the big picture, and searching for your personal truth are some of the current themes for you. Finding meaning in life via spirituality (whatever that is to you) will help you realize your true value as a person. This value doesn’t come from what you contribute to the household, or the grades you get, but is just the intrinsic value of you, simply because you exist. You are looking for your North Node, or life purpose. You don’t need to look too hard or dig super deep, because generally you will find that answer in the skills and gifts you were naturally born with.
GEMINI - What are the things you find yourself rebelling against these days? In the answer to that question, you will also find a shift in your self image, for the better. Both in love and at work you may find yourself in deep water, searching for understanding of yourself via intimacy with others (which isn’t always sexual), and exploration of darker corners. Dare to dream big and let your faith in God, however you define God, lead you to the next step.
CANCER - It’s all about relationships for you right now. Love and personal relationships, work relationships, and Divine relationship. The answer is “relationships”, but what is the question? I think you will find what you are looking for in the shadows of your 12th house, where Lilith is. In the 12th, we are necessarily isolated, and in that isolation we can find either healing or hell, or both, as Lilith did when she was both liberated and cast out. You have to define who you are before you can exist in any relationship. Aha! So the question is: “Who am I?” Look in the dark corners of yourself to find out.
LEO - At present, you may be questioning your meaning and value. First thing first… you need to get in your body and ground yourself. Life in the body is not nearly as comfortable as life floating around in the upper chakras of love and light, but being in the body is required. Once you’re grounded, notice what is pissing you off, and lean into it. Yes, lean into the pissed- offedness, for therein you will find your dreams (Embroider THAT on a pillow!) For real though, your career feels dialed in and you are on track for your life purpose. But there is something more, another layer, another facet. I suspect it is an organization of some kind, and if you lean into the angst, you will eventually find yourself in service to the people harmed by this organization. I know that’s a lot to unpack. Eat a snack and come back to this.
VIRGO - This is just an intuitive hit inspired by the astrology… but if you are NOT looking to get pregnant, be very careful this month. If you ARE looking to get pregnant, go get busy. Now, where was I? Oh yes, the astrology. It’s your 5th house that’s drawing my attention. Creativity and children are emphasized this week. Your words at work are powerful. And apparently you’re fertile, if not literally then figuratively. What you plant will grow, so…sow your seeds consciously.
LIBRA - You may find yourself trying to define or re-define what and how “home” feels to you. This has been a bit of an ongoing theme for you. This week the family unit should have good communication going for it. The relationship at the center of your family can find some healing due to Mercury activating Chiron in your 7th house. But there’s also dust kicked up around the notions of truth and home. This doesn’t mean anyone is lying, rather it means your definition of home may be shifting. For example: you may feel at home somewhere other than your “home”, or you may be missing home, or wanting to move. This week, explore your truth around this with your words, either written or spoken.
SCORPIO - Your words can activate some strong money energy this week. I would advise you to be very conscious of how you talk to yourself, how you talk to your money (for example, when you pay a bill, express gratitude rather than resentment), and how you talk about your “job”. If you are in the enviable position of loving what you do for work, this shouldn’t be hard. But if you are not loving your job, it can be challenging to feel abundant and grateful. Try thinking about who the company serves in positive terms (rather than grousing about the executives, think about the clients who benefit in some way). How you speak will partially determine the flow of resources and the opportunities that form.
SAGITTARIUS - Your home and money are tied together this week, and for some time to come. If you are thinking about some financial venture around your home or real estate, that looks very positive. If you have the ability or opportunity to work from home, that could benefit you financially. I am not ruling out a basic refinancing, but that feels less likely than a business or money making opportunity that is based out of your home. Keep your eyes and ears open, and make sure you communicate clearly with your spouse or partner about this as well.
CAPRICORN - This is a good week for you - you have the power of persuasion on your side. You could pretty easily convince people to take your side or invest in you. People will perceive you very positively out “in the world” or “in the wild”, (depending on how you look at it). Issues around both your home and your work environment will be much more chill than in the last many weeks. If you find it hard to know how to best capitalize on this, remember: your words can make you money this week.
AQUARIUS - This week: from the depths of your visionary mind comes a great idea that makes money! Here’s some do’s and don’ts - Don’t: get sidetracked by what feels like Mercury retrograde, particularly at home. Do: pay attention and write down brilliant ideas. Don’t: blow off your night time dreams, even if they seem nonsensical. Do: research your idea and start acting on it in small steps. This week could be a fun experiment in manifesting if you approach it the right way.
PISCES - The juice this week can be found in your friends. You need to connect for multiple reasons. You need the recharge that only good friends can offer, and a friend connection could lead to something, well…juicy. That juice could be love, or it could be a money making opportunity, or it could be a huge aha moment you have about yourself and your value. All of the options are pretty sweet. Make the effort to connect this week…you’ll be glad you did.
