Event Type : Daily Overview

Monday, JULY 1

The Moon spends the day in reliable, earthy Taurus, but its alignment with Mars shortly after midday suggests strong emotions and desires and some tendency to impulsiveness. We’re connecting with our needs for comfort and predictability, and we’re ready to put some muscle behind achieving these goals. This aspect awakens emotional desire and stimulates a sense of urgency.

Today’s clever Mercury-Mars quintile helps us strategize and solve problems, but a Sun-Uranus semi-square tonight can stir some restlessness that may seem too generalized to put to productive use. We may want to shake things up, make changes, and break the routine.

However, we could also be tense if there are unexpected schedule changes or if we’re not in touch with what we need to change. In such times, it’s better to keep things simple.

Tuesday, JULY 2

Neptune stations and turns retrograde today, a period that will last until December 7th. This station may obscure our affairs, making it challenging to see things clearly this week. However, the retrograde cycle is not only a time of indecision or feeling in limbo. It’s a period of personal discovery and increased receptiveness–a time when we can grow and evolve. Despite the shift happening now, which may initially feel disappointing, it can lead us along a new and improved path.

Mercury leaves Cancer and enters Leo today, but before it does, it forms a trine to Neptune, encouraging us to tap into our imagination. With this transit, we more readily tune into and respond to our hunches. We may easily sense others’ thoughts and feelings, and our words, musings, and ideas can be more imaginative, colorful, subtle, or creative. We experience a sense of knowing and understanding with minimal explanation or instruction.

While we may not be direct or definite, we see the way around obstacles. This transit favors photography, the arts, poetry, fiction, spirituality, advertising, and promotion.

Mercury transits Leo from today until the 25th. With Mercury in Leo in the weeks ahead, our thinking is confident and grand, and clearly defined goals motivate us. We are expressive, convincing, decisive, and persuasive. We want our voices and input heard.

It’s not a time when we’re content with letting others make all the moves or decisions–we must be involved. We take the lead, manage, direct, and create while Mercury is in Leo. For maximum absorption, we need to relate to information or create stories about it. During this cycle, we should watch for being too inflexible or proud to change course.

A Venus-Saturn trine helps us sort out our feelings. We might demonstrate our affection through practical support, service, and shows of loyalty. This influence reminds us of the value of constancy and reliability. We approach love, relationships, money, or pleasure-seeking more maturely, responsibly, and with a level head. It can also be a time when we enjoy our responsibilities, work, or duties more than usual.

However, Mercury opposes Pluto early tomorrow, and its energies color tonight. With this transit, we can face some pressure to deal with problem areas. There can be mental tension, paranoid thoughts, or excessive suspicion to manage. We might either feel compelled to talk and question or withhold information. We can too quickly become embroiled in power struggles. However, if we aim to learn from our resentment, it can bring us closer to understanding what we truly want.

The Moon is void from 11:44 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Neptune), until the Moon enters Gemini at 11:51 AM EDT (a brief VOC period).

Wednesday, JULY 3

Early today, Mercury opposes Pluto, and we can be stressed or frustrated. We’re unhappy with superficial thinking and ambiguities, but we could be going too far with our investigations or suspicions.

The Moon spends the day in Gemini, and as the day advances, we feel much lighter. We’re following our curiosity.

Later today, we approach a Sun-Venus parallel, which promotes harmony and cooperation, and a Mercury-Jupiter parallel, which boosts our optimism and vision. It’s easier to extend the benefit of the doubt to one another. We’re in great shape for understanding, teaching, absorbing, and learning.

Thursday, JULY 4

The Moon continues its transit of Gemini until 4:52 PM EDT, after which the Cancer Moon is more insular. We’re connecting with our needs for nurture, roots, safety, and familiarity.

A Mars-Juno trine encourages us to be direct with one another today. Our relationships strengthen as we share power and validate one another’s input and opinions. We act with more purpose and resolve but also have a strong awareness of other issues and others’ agendas, which is a powerful combination.

With Mercury in a minor challenging aspect to Saturn tonight, however, we should watch for hypersensitivity, negative thinking, and unhelpful criticism. It’s a somewhat beneficial influence for editing work, identifying flaws, or fixing problems, allowing us to be proactive rather than unhealthily focused on problem areas.

The Moon is void from 4:44 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Neptune), until the Moon enters Cancer at 4:52 PM EDT (a brief VOC period).

Friday, JULY 5

The New Moon occurs at 6:58 PM EDT in the sign of Cancer, inviting a fresh start. It’s a time for feeding our foundation — all that we call “home,” including the foundation we’ve built inside ourselves. It’s also a time for recognizing the importance of our family and our personal circle of friends and the security, sense of belonging, and safety we derive from them.

Mars forms a sextile to Saturn today, and we’re remaining grounded and conscious of the need to be consistent and work steadily toward our goals. This influence favors modest ambitions and a moderate approach. Thoroughness brings rewards, and we appreciate slow but steady progress.

This transit encourages a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness. It’s a good time to temper our energy, pace ourselves productively, and exercise better judgment. It’s also a satisfying time to get organized.

Saturday, JULY 6

Venus forms a square with Chiron early today and is angling toward a semi-square with Jupiter, exact very early tomorrow. With these aspects, circumstances can trigger the need to recognize and explore our feelings of vulnerability. We may withdraw or hold back, as we’re easily rebuffed or hurt. It’s not easy to assess value temporarily. We can feel discontent with our relationships or entertainment, and the tendency to overdo it is present, although not overpowering. Ideally, we tap into a need for change and improvement and tame our impulses to go overboard.

The Moon spends most of the day (except the final four minutes) in the sign of Cancer, and it aligns with Venus and harmonizes with Saturn, Mars, Uranus, and Neptune. These transits open up multiple potentially rewarding opportunities to express our feelings. They encourage us to center ourselves, find what makes us feel safe and supported, and importantly, let go of overthinking, which can bring a sense of relief and ease.

The Moon is void from 11:47 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Neptune), until the Moon enters Leo at 11:56 PM EDT (a brief VOC period).

Sunday, JULY 7

The Moon’s stay in Leo all day is confident and positive. With a Mercury-Uranus quintile today, we seek to stand out as different intellectually, or at least not sound like everyone else. We prefer not to follow the crowd with our ideas and communications. This aspect inspires creative ways to approach technical matters. Conversations can be supportive and two-way, and negotiations are fair.

Today’s Moon transits make it an excellent time to bring more intelligence, innovation, muscle, or motivation to our pursuits. We also bring more feeling or emotion to our communications and mental pursuits. Ideas and thoughts flow smoothly now. Our minds are more receptive and alert than usual, and we may be especially busy and curious.

Monday, JULY 8

Satisfaction comes from pride in our actions and creations today, with the Moon in Leo all day. A Venus-Uranus sextile brings us out of our shells and encourages our bolder, more innovative natures, socially speaking. We are most interested in all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary concerning romantic involvements, entertainment or pleasures, and financial undertakings.

We may be experimenting, improvising, and trying new ways of relating to others and expressing ourselves. We may be discovering alternative ways to make (or spend) money. Although somewhat detached, we’re freer with our feelings, and we find beauty in the unfamiliar or uncommon.

Mercury forms a parallel to Uranus and harmonizes with Jupiter and the North Node today. We might connect with information or people that/who encourage us to grow, improve, and move forward. Circumstances can lead to interesting, unexpected, and inspiring ideas, mental detours, and conversations. We’re not interested in recycling old ideas but embracing new concepts. Routines may feel particularly stifling.

Mercury’s harmony with Jupiter is gracious, stimulating optimism. We’re alert and resourceful, seeking solutions to problems or the positive side of situations. We take a more philosophical approach to thinking and are especially open to learning. It’s a time of optimism, new insights, and cooperation. Our minds open, and we seek a positive focal point.

Tuesday, JULY 9

The Moon continues its transit of passionate Leo until 9:47 AM EDT, when it enters precise Virgo. Jupiter harmonizes with the true Moon’s Nodes today and the mean Nodes in a few days, indicating our willingness to grow, learn, improve, develop, and move past our fears. We are ready to embrace new methods and attitudes, leaving behind those no longer serving our growth.

Jupiter encourages us to embrace our visions, and its sextile to the North Node helps us balance our vision with our intuition. Our conscience is well-developed, and we want to help others. We’re more inclined than usual to believe in the power of the group.

This transit amplifies our desire to connect with those who can contribute to our personal growth and improvement. We may form relationships with individuals who broaden our horizons, expand our worldview, or deepen our personal philosophy.

It’s a time when we seek more meaning in life, and it’s conducive to activities such as publishing, community involvement, teaching, guiding, and learning.

We are likely to believe that enhancing our independence and self-confidence will improve our communications and strengthen our bonds with others–and vice versa. The harmony of shared ideas and ideals can be compelling during this time.

The Moon is void from 2:04 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Uranus), until the Moon enters Virgo at 9:47 AM EDT.

Wednesday, JULY 10

The Sun forms a trine and Mercury forms a biquintile with Saturn today, and we might enjoy thoughtful and practical communications. Energies are grounding and steadying, and we readily draw upon self-discipline. We can enjoy a real sense of strength and pride in our ability to meet our responsibilities.

The Sun-Saturn transit supports moderation. We are especially aware of our limitations and willing to accept them. Enjoyment of our duties or obligations can be the focus. This trine occurs in Water signs, and we can feel particularly empowered managing emotional matters in practical, helpful ways. The Moon’s stay in practical, earthy, workhorse Virgo seems fitting for these energies.

Thursday, JULY 11

Venus enters Leo today, but it forms a trine with Neptune just before it leaves the sign of Cancer. Neptune is traveling the last degree of the zodiac, and this degree holds the potential for profound wisdom.

The Venus-Neptune aspect acts as a conduit, allowing us to access our inner spiritual wisdom and compassion. It’s a time when we prioritize spiritual and emotional concerns over material ones, fostering a sense of unity and cooperation. We open ourselves to beauty and faith, and we choose to trust others before judging them, preferring to cooperate than compete. We refuse to step over others to reach our goals.

This perspective of seeing the best in people eases the pressure in personal relationships. However, it’s important to be mindful of our tendency to glamorize objects, situations, and pleasures.

From today until August 4th, Venus will be transiting Leo. This cycle is characterized by a warmhearted and generous energy. We take pride in love and are open-handed with our resources. It’s a time of expressiveness, pride, and a touch of extravagance.

We thrive on attention, acknowledgment, validation, and adoration, making a significant ego investment in our love lives during this period.

The Venus-in-Leo cycle can be a solid or profitable time for contests, lotteries, parties, recreation, drama, adornment, jewelry, costumes, art dealing, and all things golden. Generosity and warmth contribute to our ability to draw in the right resources. We can have a compelling desire to stand out, be remarkable, and feel special during this period. However, we should watch for extravagance and overstating our feelings simply for the effect.

As the Moon spends much of the day in the practical sign of Virgo, it’s important to note that it opposes Neptune shortly before entering Libra at 10:06 PM EDT.

This opposition, along with Virgo’s ruler, Mercury, forming a minor challenging aspect with Neptune tonight, could lead to a struggle with our expectations or perceptions of reality. It’s crucial to be cautious and avoid perceiving situations in an impractical or overly optimistic way tonight. These transits can diffuse our concentration and focus, so it’s best to be prepared for potential challenges.

The Moon is void from 9:55 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Neptune), until the Moon enters Libra at 10:06 PM EDT (a brief VOC period).

Friday, JULY 12

The Moon spends the day in compromising, balanced Libra. However, Libra’s ruler, Venus, is challenged. Venus opposes Pluto today, and with this tense transit, we’re confronting areas of our lives where we might be holding onto something too tightly for fear of losing it.

Confrontations or events can bring complicated feelings and fears to a head. We may make uncomfortable discoveries now, and while some of these can ultimately help us, we may be pushing too far for answers. We should watch for manipulative behavior arising from insecurities or fear of betrayal.

With the Moon’s alignment with the South Node, we might also be falling back on depending on others at the expense of our self-confidence. It’s crucial to remember our own strength. Fortunately, the Moon’s trine to Jupiter gets us into a more growth-oriented frame of mind this evening.

Saturday, JULY 13

The Moon continues its transit of Libra all day, and the First Quarter Moon occurs at 6:49 PM EDT when the Cancer Sun forms a square with the Libra Moon. We may become aware of obstacles related to a plan or project. This can be a time of stress, clashing, and discord but also high energy, motivation, and growth. We’re competitive and ambitious, stirred into action.

Otherwise, the Libra Moon, with its balanced and diplomatic nature, focuses our attention on harmonizing our relationships and environment.

The morning’s Moon-Mercury sextile boosts our interpersonal and communication skills.

The Moon is void from 6:49 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to the Sun), until the Moon enters Scorpio on Sunday, July 14th, at 10:53 AM EDT.

Sunday, JULY 14

The Moon continues its transit of respectful, relationship-oriented Libra today but moves into passionate, perceptive Scorpio at 10:53 AM EDT.

The Scorpio Moon makes challenging aspects today, forming squares with Venus and Pluto as these bodies separate from an opposition. We can experience reverberations from the events of this recent aspect, delayed reactions, or resentments.

Venus forms a sesquiquadrate with Saturn tonight, and there can be anxiety or troubles with matters concerned with feelings and affections until we get in touch with our true needs and wants.

The Moon continues its void period today until it enters Scorpio at 10:53 AM EDT.

Monday, JULY 15

The Sun’s square to Chiron this morning can pull up insecurities and areas of vulnerability, possibly disruptively. We could too easily follow others’ leads because of self-doubt, to please them, or out of fear of asserting our desires. Alternatively, we might go to great lengths to prove ourselves or assert our individuality when a better approach would be to recognize feelings of vulnerability that people or circumstances are stirring.

With Mercury’s quincunx to Saturn also in play this morning, mental anxiety can interfere with making good, practical choices. There can be communication challenges or mental blocks. Doubts might slow down our movements and initiatives.

While this can normally be a helpful process as we take a break from pushing ahead to check in with our objectives, something bigger is in play: a Mars-Uranus alignment can overshadow this energy with impulsivity. It’s the final alignment of Mars and Uranus during Uranus’ current transit of Taurus, and there can be abrupt changes, choices, or decisions with money, valuables, possessions, ownership, and income, leading to a reshuffling of priorities or values. On a psychological level, this can be about boundaries, self-worth, and matters of respect.

This transit occurs approximately every two years, not always in the same sign, and when it does, we can experience a sudden desire to make things happen. It’s a powerful time for letting in change and ridding ourselves of attachments weighing us down. We are bold and assertive, willing to experiment, and hyper-conscious of a need to act independently.

The best way to harness this exciting but erratic energy is to act rather than react. However, it can be challenging to know whether our impulses come from genuine desire or if we are rebelling against restrictions. We should watch for rash decisions and impatience, which can lead to accidents or other missteps. With this transit, anger or rebellion can be sudden, unexpected, and erratic.

Tuesday, JULY 16

The Moon is in Scorpio until 9:25 PM EDT, encouraging us to get in touch with our feelings. There can be a boost to our intimate life and self-understanding. The Scorpio Moon harmonizes with Saturn, the Sun, and Neptune but challenges Mercury and the Mars-Uranus conjunction. We want to cooperate and harmonize, and our imagination and ability to empathize are enhanced. We are more inclined to trust our intuition but can feel torn between stubbornly resisting change and embracing it.

The Sagittarius Moon from 9:25 PM forward craves more adventure and experience, and its sextile to Pluto tonight adds determination to our quest.

The Moon is void from 9:11 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Neptune), until the Moon enters Sagittarius at 9:25 PM EDT.

Wednesday, JULY 17

Today’s Sagittarius Moon is spirited, enthusiastic, and confident. We’re especially interested in what’s true and just with the Sagittarius Moon. We’re optimistic and far-sighted. This transit encourages us to explore, seek, and discover. Bored with the mundane, anything that breaks the routine is appealing now. We’re more idealistic than usual, perhaps expecting much from our lives. Optimism is one of the positive traits of this position, but it’s important to be cautious as neglecting to see the essential details of a plan is a possible weakness.

The Moon opposes Jupiter this evening, which brings ‘borrow from the future’ energy. We should be careful not to commit to something for which we don’t yet have the resources, reminding us to be aware of our potential for over-optimism.

Thursday, JULY 18

Today, there’s strong, spirited, independent energy with us. With Mars, the planet of action, in a parallel alignment with Uranus, the planet of innovation (and with Venus set to join them in a parallel alignment tomorrow), we can expect a day of quick reactions, inventive thinking, and potentially explosive situations. These cosmic influences encourage us to seek out new, creative, original, and unique experiences.

The morning’s Sun-Uranus sextile brings a theme of progress. This transit stirs our willingness to adapt to new circumstances, ideas, and unfamiliar situations. Spirits are high, and we’re excited about change. Group connections can be enlightening, and we’ll do the best for ourselves if we embrace flexibility and innovation. We might arrive at creative solutions to problems and make improvements now.

The Sun semi-square Jupiter tonight can point to some overestimation of our energy or motivation levels. We want to grow, improve, and expand, and it may be necessary to push some boundaries now, but it’s best to do so gently.

Fortunately, a Mercury-Chiron trine today opens our minds to learning from one another. This influence aids with communicating our feelings constructively. We’re relaying our messages in relatable, accessible ways. Good energy is with us for discussing or giving more thought to sensitive topics. We’re especially alert, observant, and willing to understand. It’s easier than usual to communicate our message now, although this is less about getting the exact wording right and more about conveying our intentions. We might discover new ways to approach problems. This potential for learning from one another can boost our sense of connection.

Friday, JULY 19

The Moon heads into practical, earthy Capricorn at 4:15 AM EDT. While we’re generally goal-oriented with this Moon transit, Mercury connects creatively with Jupiter and Neptune, which have just formed a quintile. These aspects open our minds to others’ struggles and are brilliant for strategic creative moves. We’re gracious and compassionate, giving one another the benefit of the doubt.

Putting our faith in someone or something now can feel terrific, and we’re inclined to notice the spiritual dimensions or imaginative elements of our pursuits. We are more idealistic, spiritually aware, and sensitive. Boundaries dissolve, and we are disinclined to draw definite or firm conclusions.

Still, Venus forms parallels with both Mars and Uranus and a trine with the Moon’s North Node, and the atmosphere is electric. These transits stimulate insistent feelings that want some form of release and boost our desire to merge and create. Relationships or connections are tremendous motivators, and interactions are buzzing and fresh. We want to move on, grow, and improve and may draw in situations that help us do just that.

There can be spontaneous meetings and forward movement in our relationships. We also have good instincts for future trends, and while we can be somewhat impulsive, we’re also harmonizing and cooperating.

The Moon is void from 3:59 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Neptune), until the Moon enters Capricorn at 4:15 AM EDT.

Saturday, JULY 20

Mars leaves Taurus and enters Gemini today, but before it goes, it harmonizes with Neptune, encouraging an inspired or gentle approach to pursuing our desires. With this transit in force, we actively seek inspiration. Our intuitive guidance can be put to practical use, especially if it helps increase our sense of security. There can be the letting go of anger or a softening of the disposition now. We prefer to cooperate or go our own way than compete.

We are also ready to act on our compassion, communicating our intentions through actions and gestures, and our intuition for making the right moves is strong. We might open up to unusual or alternative healing methods or the use of compassion and forgiveness for healing purposes. Creative arts can thrive.

Mars transits Gemini from today until September 4th. It’s a versatile and flexible influence but not especially determined or focused. We should watch for becoming so scattered that we’re ineffective and making hasty or nervous decisions.

However, it’s an excellent period for diversifying our interests and understanding the power of our communications. We’re strategizing and devising useful tactics to achieve our desires and goals. We’re resourceful and clever and know how to use words effectively.

Perhaps most notable during this period is our tactical skills. We know how to maneuver things to get our way. We use words to charm and express anger. When passionate about a topic, we’re very talkative and animated.

Sunday, JULY 21

The Full Moon, a powerful symbol of balance and reflection, graces us this morning at 6:17 AM EDT in the sign of Capricorn. It’s a time to ponder on our commitment to our careers and families, and to recognize the inherent conflict between our roots and our direction.

This is the second Full Moon in Capricorn, the first having occurred early in the sign on June 21st. This one, appearing in the final degree of the sign, connects with Pluto and engages harmoniously with Neptune, Mars, and Uranus, suggesting we have the support, determination, and resources to realize our dreams. It’s a period ripe with potential for personal growth and self-discovery.

Occurring in the last degree of Capricorn, this Full Moon feels more urgent, but it also rounds out our feelings with further matters to consider compared to the previous month’s Full Moon in the sign, when we were fresh and still a little naive. We can experience powerful, well-formed realizations, perhaps with the final word or decisive revelations.

Today’s astrology is busy: Venus harmonizes with Jupiter, cultivating a taste for freedom, pleasure, warmth, generosity, and excitement in our relationships. It’s important that we sense we’re growing in and through our connections, love lives, and pastimes or pleasures. It’s a cooperative time when we readily extend the benefit of the doubt to one another. This influence stirs a mood or atmosphere conducive to tolerance, consideration for others, warmth, and openness. It encourages us to loosen up as we tap into our spirit for enjoyment.

This is one of the most favored transits for entertaining and socializing. We bring optimistic spiritual energy to our lives and seek meaning through our connections and values. Romantic opportunities can emerge, or there can be lucky finds, pleasing purchases, and a hopeful financial outlook or prospects.

The Sun’s trine to Neptune is also inclusive, tolerant energy. This transit brings a fluid, graceful energy to the day. We readily access our intuition, and we can be moved to help, support, or give of ourselves.

We would do well to de-emphasize some of our material concerns or interests, at least temporarily. We see people and life itself from a different perspective — one that not only allows for but finds beauty in differences.

Today’s Mercury-Uranus square is more temperamental, adding some abruptness and tension to our thinking patterns and conversations. Our senses are hyper-stimulated. There can be sudden flashes of insight or fresh new ideas, but our plans may not yet come together. We may be impatient with routine matters or monotonous tasks. Disorganization or bluntness with our communications is possible. Information can surface now that upsets the status quo.

Even so, this transit can also stimulate our minds, encouraging new ways of thinking.

A Mars-Pluto trine helps us make the best of our circumstances. We are in an excellent position to harness the power of desire and make it work for us. With this influence, we gain determination and a stronger feeling of purpose. We are willing to explore alternatives rather than fall back on the tried and true.

Unafraid of a challenge, it’s more important to us that we overcome obstacles. It’s excellent energy for reworking or overhauling a project. We are incredibly effective and perhaps a little ruthless about getting rid of what we don’t need.

The Moon is void from 7:27 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Neptune), until the Moon enters Aquarius at 7:44 AM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Monday, JULY 22

Venus forms a biquintile to Saturn today, and Mars forms a quintile to both Venus and Saturn. It’s a powerful time to maneuver, design, and organize. We may be showcasing our reliability and loyalty. There can be a willingness to make sacrifices if it seems the best way to make improvements, and with a game plan, we’re ready to exercise patience.

Our timing with business and personal pursuits is good as we’re inclined to strategize and prepare well. Competition can motivate us to improve our situation.

These influences are excellent for seeing relationship patterns and using them positively to encourage commitment and creativity.

The Sun enters Leo today, where it will transit until August 22nd. The Sun is proud, outgoing, and playful in its own sign–we want to enjoy and express ourselves during this cycle.

The Leo Sun is intensely individual, not content with merely being one of the team. It’s time to shine, perform, and add a touch of color and drama to our lives. We are generous and grand in our gestures and attitudes. On the shadow side, we can also be self-centered and vain under this influence.

As the day progresses, we approach a Sun-Pluto opposition that can bring to the surface deep, dark, or buried and unresolved matters. Through feelings, relationships, and events, we can gain a clearer understanding of areas of life where we’ve been holding onto something too tightly or giving away our personal power. This can be disruptive and uncomfortable, but it can also lead to significant personal growth and heightened self-awareness.

A tricky or buried issue might now reach a head. We may feel on edge, volatile, or defensive. There can be inner drama or external circumstances undermining our perception of powerfulness. We may experience a battle within ourselves between light and dark energies, or we can meet this theme through others.

Outside forces remind us of our need to take charge of our lives, but shortcuts to gaining control are unlikely to work out. Instead, we should formulate strategies for managing our fears or worries.

Tuesday, JULY 23

Today, under the influence of Venus forming a sesquiquadrate aspect with Neptune, it’s all too easy to believe what we want to believe. While glossing over the more realistic points, details, and flaws of circumstances and people might feel good at the moment, it’s best to hold off on making important purchases or relationship decisions until the veil lifts.

However, Venus aligns with Vesta later today, making it easier to direct our energies into meaningful activities. This alignment encourages us to conserve our energy for what we love doing, stimulating our desire to devote, dedicate, and commit to a task, relationship, or person.

The Sun’s parallel to Mars strengthens our resolve and quickens our reactions. This empowerment helps us make decisive moves. The Moon continues its transit of Aquarius until 9:24 AM EDT, when it heads into Pisces.

The Moon is void from 5:59 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Mercury), until the Moon enters Pisces at 9:24 AM EDT.

Main Astrology Calendar

Wednesday, JULY 24

The Moon spends the day in Pisces, creating a gentle and kind atmosphere. Our focus is on our inner worlds, empathy, spirituality, and downtime.

This afternoon, the Moon aligns with Saturn, bringing a serious, responsible, and ambitious tone. This alignment is particularly helpful for situations that require a cool head, as it helps us to avoid being swept away by our feelings. We’re more inclined to buckle down and work, organize, and plan. This practical approach extends to our mental health and need for unwinding and decompressing.

As the day progresses, a Mercury-Chiron parallel comes into influence, making us more receptive to discussing and learning through discussion, along with the opportunities conversations bring to heal. This transit heightens our intuitive understanding.

Main Astrology Calendar

Thursday, JULY 25

Before Mercury leaves Leo and enters Virgo today, it forms a quincunx with Neptune, a transit that can challenge our decision-making confidence. Be prepared for potential mental disorganization that may arise. We might find ourselves wavering with uncertainty or inclined to daydream at the expense of productivity and clear communication. However, being aware of these challenges can help us manage them effectively.

Still, as the day advances, a Sun-Mars sextile is confident, decisive, and active, boosting our desire for action to pursue our passions. It’s an energizing influence, particularly with ambitious or exciting undertakings.

With this transit, we want to take the initiative and feel we can accomplish a lot. Our sense of rhythm and timing is good. Stress eases as we feel confident about our abilities and our judgment. We can assert ourselves without rubbing people the wrong way. We’re also ready to take on a challenge, and we’re competitive in a natural, unforced way. We can feel energized, particularly about communicating, connecting, and enjoying ourselves.

It can be a time of resourcefulness when we respond to problems or challenges with spirited and enthusiastic confidence.

As well, the Moon moves from Pisces to Aries at 10:53 AM EDT, and we feel a strong desire to start fresh as the day advances.

Mercury transits Virgo from today until August 14th. Note that because Mercury will turn retrograde and later return to Leo, Mercury will only complete its transit of Virgo from September 9th to 26th.

While Mercury is in Virgo, we seek more precision in speech, thought, method, and process. Dealing with details is natural and comfortable. We must be careful to maintain perspective if we find ourselves overly focused on the details.

Further, we should be aware of the possibility of expressing ourselves too factually, so much so that we come across as dry, critical, or unimaginative.

However, it’s an excellent time for organizing, sorting, and analyzing. We gravitate to useful information and enjoy helping others with our knowledge during this cycle. It’s a time of conservative thinking and a strong tendency to want facts and certainties.

The Moon is void from 10:32 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Neptune), until the Moon enters Aries at 10:53 AM EDT.
