Alchemy in Motion: Truth, Healing, and New Beginnings

This week’s skies stir the alchemy of transformation. Mercury and Mars unite in Scorpio, igniting fierce honesty, emotional courage, and the power to act on your truth. The Sun moves through Human Design Gate 50 — Nurturing — while the Earth anchors Gate 3 — Innovation — calling you to create from integrity and care. Tuesday’s New Moon in Libra opposes the Chiron–Eris conjunction, revealing what’s ready to heal within your relationships and self-expression. Then, as the Sun enters Scorpio and Neptune retrogrades back into Pisces, the energy shifts from air to water — from intellect to intuition — inviting deep release, renewal, and new beginnings.
