This week’s astrology forecast:

July 6th – 12th    

 Message for the week:

The week starts off on a bit of a bit of a down note with the Sun in a challenging square to burdensome Saturn. The best advice for working with Saturn restrictions is to play within your limits— don’t push. After Monday’s sluggish start, the week improves considerably with no other major challenging aspects.

With the three outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in an ongoing mini-grand trine with each other, more and more people are becoming aware of the multi-dimensionality of their consciousness. The outer planets are transpersonal, beyond the range of the ego and the five senses, and being in harmonious interactions with each other, creates an inviting opening to higher realms of consciousness. They are in a very tight orb in their aspects with each other— all at the same degree of the signs they are in. Therefore, when the Moon changes signs and aspects one of the outer planets, it will also be aspecting the other two at the same time, bringing surges of cosmic evolutionary energy available to tap into.

This will happen twice this week, Monday and Friday, with Friday being particularly propitious, with the Moon also forming a sextile to fortunate Jupiter. Life is inherently complex and paradoxical, being both precious and brutal. The test of these times is to see and deal with the harsh realities in front of us without losing the vision of a beautiful life.  Keep your cosmic antennae extended!

Monday: A paradoxical day in the heavens with the Sun square to limiting Saturn, suggesting it is best to play low and slow today. However, the Moon enters highly excitable Aries this morning in an uplifting trine to Jupiter, then aspecting the three outer planets and sextile to Mars this evening, suggesting an emotionally supercharged day. Have fun but keep your eye on the speed limit.

Tuesday: Neptune turns retrograde today, turning its imaginative, visionary energy inward—good for meditating and accessing the creative muses. After yesterday’s emotional uplift day, an emotionally sobering day is in store with the Moon in normally enthusiastic Aries being suppressed by being conjunct Saturn and square to the Sun, making everything seem more difficult than needs be.

Wednesday: A pleasant start to the day with the Moon in “ready to go” Aries and in a flowing trine to lovely Venus, activating a cheerful mood.. The Moon enters “steady as she goes” Taurus conjunct Chiron midday—good for volunteering or making charitable donations. The Moon forms a T-square to the Jupiter/Pluto opposition this evening, activating Taurus’s staunch resistance to any persuasion—best to keep to yourself and not try to influence anyone during this resistant energy.

Thursday: A smooth day in the heavens with the Moon in Taurus in a supportive sextile to the energizing Sun—a good day to take things at your own pace.  Venus enters service-minded Virgo in a supportive trine to Chiron today, encouraging lending a hand to those in need.

Friday: A smooth and quiet start to the day that becomes mentally stimulating and even exhilarating this evening with the Moon starting the day in grounded Taurus, then moving into mentally capricious Gemini this afternoon. The Moon squares Venus and is sextile to Jupiter this evening, creating an upbeat and indulgent vibe. The Moon aspects all three outer Planets late tonight, making it difficult to fall off to sleep with all the jacked-up energy.

Saturday: A busy, almost too busy morning with the Moon in Gemini conjunct Mars in the early morning, pulling your attention to too many things at once. The energy smooths out this afternoon, when the Moon will be in a supportive sextile with stabilizing Saturn. This will also stimulate deep and meaningful conversations.

Sunday: The Sun is conjunct Mercury retrograde in Cancer, stimulating awareness connection between your thoughts and emotions—happy thoughts stimulate the feel-good hormones in your body. The Moon starts the day in mentally active Gemini with no aspects until it moves into deep feeling Cancer this afternoon. The Moon is sextile to romantic Venus and square to Neptune later tonight making for a good date night and an escapist, fantasy movie.

May the stars be with you!
