Friday, JULY 30

Venus forms minor challenging aspects to Pluto and Saturn today, producing some tension from fear-based suspicions. These transits can stir problem areas in social interactions and relationships. Feelings of jealousy and possessiveness result from a fear of losing something. We might not be able to imagine a direct route to our desires right now, possibly leading to a tendency to manipulate. Financial tensions can surface, and issues of trust can emerge in relationships.

We could feel torn between two equally appealing desires, situations, or viewpoints. Or, the dilemma could be between pleasure and responsibility, and perhaps we’re not able to fully appreciate or manage either. Outside commitments can disrupt the flow or cause problems in our relationships. Still, it can also be a time for recognizing the needs and desires that we’ve suppressed. Getting into a healthier relationship with these buried needs can help.

The Sun-Neptune challenge this afternoon suggests difficulties focusing on or even defining our goals. We may struggle with waning willpower or some lack of direction. It makes sense to consider ways to come to a better balance between our material and spiritual pursuits. The Moon continues its transit of assertive Aries until 4:08 PM EDT, after which it moves through deliberate Taurus.

The void Moon occurs from 3:38 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Taurus at 4:08 PM EDT.
