Tuesday, JULY 28

The Sun forms a semi-square with Venus, and we head toward a Venus-Mars square. The Sun will soon be semi-square Mars as well, as the Sun is at the midpoint of this square. Jupiter will soon also be involved!

We can be especially sensitive to imbalances in our environment and relationships, but we’re also seeking more color in our lives now. There’s a tendency to go overboard in seeking others’ appreciation or approval. Our current approach and what we think we should do are at odds, and we may not be very productive or decisive in this situation.

Our powers of attraction and desire natures are strong but problematic or disruptive. It’s not easy to get fully comfortable or relaxed under these influences. Controversies are likely. There can be playful moments, but some misunderstandings are involved.

Venus forms a square to Mars this morning, and competitive energy is with us. The conflict between these two planets can produce tension or dissatisfaction. It can awaken different urges and desires, but they may only be whims or distractions.

Disagreements are possible as differences and contrasts stand out more than usual. A passive or soft approach may irritate, but an aggressive approach can also be grating–we seem to have poor timing. We can be temperamental and especially sensitive. What we value and what we desire can also be at odds.

Ideally, discontent prompts creative improvements and changes. We should be cautious about making impulsive purchases and decisions about our relationships under these conditions. However, this is a time to tap into our creativity and find unique solutions for our dissatisfaction. It’s best to stay in touch with our needs and watch for signs of overindulging or procrastinating.

The Moon is void from 2:11 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Venus), until the Moon enters Aquarius at 9:46 PM EDT.
