EP 64: Full Moon, Taxes + Romantic Compatibility
Think 2020 can't get more intense? Guess again! This week is one of the most intense weeks of the year, shepherding you into one of the most intense months of the year.  Have I used the word "intense" enough? It must be that Mercury just went into Scorpio and my mind is so focused on all the ways Mercury in the sign of the investigator is digging up the truth, including you know who's tax scam.  A Yod, aka a finger of God, is pointing to Saturn and Pluto imploring you to restructure the things in your life that need to change and get serious about holding yourself accountable. This is big, grown-up stuff. Luckily, if you've got some dead weight dragging you down, the Full Moon in Aries on Thursday gives you the perfect opportunity to let it go.  Stay tuned at the end of the episode for the NEW Listener Q+A segment. This week I answer: Is romantic compatibility by your sign legit?  DM me your astrology questions on Instagram @veronicaperretti Book a reading with me at veronicaperretti.com/astrology Love the Real Housewives?

If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you
Mars is in a T-Square in the sky arguing with Mercury and Jupiter. That means everyone’s voices are getting louder and no one is being heard. If there were ever a time to listen, this would be it. T-squares create tension, but if it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you. This week’s got plenty of challenges, friction, and tension, but the good news is that there is always a release valve. The release for this T-Square is in Libra. How can you embrace the Libran virtues of balance, fairness, equanimity, and justice?  0:51 - Monday marks the first quarter of the moon cycle, you can still set a new moon intention 2:39 - This week is a primer on what the rest of 2020 will look like 10:55 - Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn are all in Capricorn fueling the tension this week 11:42 - Mars is part of a T-Square creating lots of tension 15:14 - The release of this T-Square is opposite Mars in Libra 20:25 - Venus square Neptune this week can make us easily deluded 22:49 - Saturday Mercury opposes Pluto giving us an opportunity to do deep focus work  25:20 - Preview of next week with the full moon on Monday, Mars square Jupiter on Tuesday, and Venus goes into Cancer 29:19 - Moon signs for the week After you listen to this episode, here are your next steps: ● Join the Online Yoga Club - details at http://www.veronicaperretti.com/yoga ● To support the podcast and become a Luminary head to   https://www.patreon.com/veronicaperretti ● Book a reading with me at http://www.veronicaperretti.com/astrology-1 ● Find me on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/veronicaperretti/ ● If you are a podcaster and are interested in the team who helps me produce this podcast, check them out at www.uncommonlymore.com
