Overview

The Moon in Aries forms trine aspects to Mercury and the Sun in Aries, while Mars in Aires moves toward the opposition aspect with Jupiter retrograde, doubly approaching.  Achieving goals increases pride. Jupiter retrogrades to ingress Aquarius on Thursday, as the partile opposition aspect to Mars at 29 deg of Leo.

On Saturday, Mercury approaches the conjunction aspect with the Sun in Leo, with the Moon in Taurus approaching the conjunction aspect with Uranus. Success and upsets at the Olympics seem to be evident in the timing.
