Monday, JULY 18

Mercury opposes Pluto early today, and 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 day advances with more positivity. The Moon heads into Aries at 7:18 AM EDT, and we want to start fresh. The Moon’s alignment with Jupiter encourages us to embrace our needs for self-direction, self-expression, and initiative.

The void Moon occurs from 2:44 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Pluto), until the Moon enters Aries at 7:18 AM EDT.
