Friday, JULY 17

The Moon spends the day in Virgo, and we gravitate to practical activities and helping others. We take a greater interest in the details of our lives at this time of the lunar month.

As well, with Venus forming a biquintile with Saturn today, we’re inclined to maneuver and plan tastefully. We may be showcasing our reliability and loyalty.

We head toward a Uranus-Pluto trine, the first of five in a set that will extend until May 2028. With this meaningful transit with long-term influence, we more readily tap into our deeper ambitions and motivations, and this knowledge of and connection with our inner selves can lead to terrific new directions.

We recognize the need for change and reform, but also realize that having a solid plan of action is to our great benefit. As such, it can be a time of measured, deliberate change-making. It’s a fine time for forging new alliances and friendships.

We might awaken to hidden or dormant talents, including inventiveness, or recognize a stronger desire for independence and freedom. The desire for new experiences is compelling.

On another level, it can be a time to use our power and spread our resources more fairly. It can be a time of important, meaningful social shifts as we recognize inequities and course-correct. We’re not only unafraid to address touchy, complex, or taboo issues we once glossed over or ignored, but we also find creative solutions.

We no longer unquestioningly accept the status quo, and we no longer tolerate burying our heads in the sand to keep the peace. Still, we should watch for overconfidence as we unearth dark or hidden matter more quickly than we can process it.

It’s a potentially powerful time for reform, growth, and change, particularly regarding the sharing of power and resources, individuality, and humanitarian, philosophical, or religious beliefs and practices.
