Sunday, JULY 12

The Moon spends the day in the sign of assertive Aries. While this Moon transit generally encourages an active approach to the day, Mercury’s station and a Sun-Neptune trine can slow us down. Mercury turns direct this morning after retrograde motion since June 18th. Over the coming weeks, recent problems with communications and decision-making should start to improve. The answers we’ve been waiting for can arrive, and plans or projects that have stalled might now resume. During the shift today, however, our judgment could be skewed temporarily. It’s a better day to take in than to take action.

The Sun forms a trine to Neptune, and we’re likely to see matters, and people, from a perspective that not only allows for but finds beauty in differences. It’s a fluid, graceful influence. We’re tuned into our intuition or access it more naturally now. We seek and find inspiration, and we may be moved to help, support, or give of ourselves. The Last Quarter Moon is exact this evening when the Sun in Cancer forms a square to the Moon in Aries. We’re beginning to see recent events in a more mature light. The next few days are good for reassessing matters from a more experienced viewpoint.
