Friday, JULY 26

With the Sun’s minor challenging aspect to Neptune today, we may struggle with waning willpower or some lack of focus, direction, or purpose. We might consider ways to come to a better balance between material and spiritual pursuits.

However, with Mars and Saturn forming a quincunx tonight, the material side of the equation may seem more critical temporarily. This influence also points to the need to slow down. Rules, restrictions, and limits feel heavy and difficult to coordinate or synthesize with our wants and desires. While we can be enthusiastic about putting our ideas or missions into action, we can feel stuck. Timing is off as a result, and the need to adjust our plans becomes apparent. We can experience some stop-and-go energy–bursts of enthusiasm but attempts to force an issue meet resistance. Sometimes the resistance is internal, and indecision or fear can hold us back from taking direct action.

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Taurus, and we want to settle in and get comfortable.
