Friday, JULY 3

The Moon spends another day in Aquarius. Friends, community, groups, causes, and happiness goals can be in stronger focus now.

In the hours surrounding the Moon-Venus opposition early afternoon, affections are more complicated. We tend to overindulge if we feel restless, or we can struggle with whether we want to be close to someone.

As the day advances, we approach a Mars-Uranus alignment that perfects very early tomorrow. The need to make changes to routine areas of our lives is building.

It’s the first alignment of Mars and Uranus while Uranus is in Gemini, and there can be abrupt changes, choices, or decisions about transportation, communication, making connections, and learning, leading to a reshuffling of priorities. Nervous energy and provocativeness, as we may use words and actions to shock, can be themes.

This transit occurs approximately every two years, and with it, we can experience a sudden desire to make things happen. It’s a powerful time to let in change and rid ourselves of attachments that weigh us down. We are bold and assertive, willing to experiment, and hyper-conscious of a need to act independently.

The best way to harness this exciting but erratic energy is to act rather than react. However, it can be challenging to know whether our impulses stem from genuine desire or from rebellion against restrictions. We should watch for rash decisions and impatience, which can lead to missteps.

With this transit, anger or rebellion can be sudden, quirky, or unexpected. It can also be a highly inventive and resourceful time, when we’re ready to innovate and move forward. We tend to thrive on new challenges.

The Moon is void today from 1:28 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Venus), until the Moon enters Pisces the next day, Saturday, July 4th, at 2:31 AM EDT.
