This week marks a rare moment when Venus, the Sun, Mercury, the Moon, and Mars are all traveling together in the sky. This daisy chain of planets is unique in and of itself, but what makes it even more powerful is that they will trine and then sextile Saturn in Pisces and Uranus in Taurus at the last degrees of these zodiac signs.

Such an alignment won't occur again for at least another 84 years. You can think of this as the cosmic version of a sendoff; a farewell celebration for the start of a new journey. Ancient Gnostics believed that when the spirit incarnated in a body, it would leave the celestial realm of its brethren and descend through the planetary spheres to the fetus below, and as the spirit passed each planet, it was blessed with its specific traits. When the baby was born and cried out for the first time, these traits locked into place and became faculties and values to be used in life.

You can think of this week's sextiles and trines in the same way. Saturn and Uranus will show you how to use the best that Venus, the Sun, Mercury, the Moon, and Mars have to offer so that you carry the virtues of Pisces and Taurus forward into the years to come. Pisces and Taurus are all about planting a seed in the earth and watering it so that it grows into something beautiful and green—something that we all need to nurture and protect in the days ahead.
