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.
