Venus and Jupiter are in sextile today, an aspect which brings on an intense appreciation of beauty and a need to surround ourselves with things that create a certain pleasing emotional response. Our relationships are beginning to expand, and partnerships that limit us are beginning to fall away if we allow them to. This is an aspect that brings on luck and fortune in our personal relationships, but it does require us to open ourselves up to change. If we are too stuck in past ways of thinking, the opportunities may not present themselves to us.
Saturday, July 2nd - The day begins with the moon opposing Saturn, squaring Neptune and the North Node. There is some tension around planning today, as ideas that may have sounded great at first could suddenly be rejected for no apparent reason. Boredom could strike some, but the Gemini moon provides a wealth of inspiration and ideas. It may just require stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new.
The Sun and Saturn are inconjunct today. This weekend is a poor time to complete projects, since focus is low and there is a tendency to back away from responsibilities. If you are finding it difficult to get work done this weekend, don't be too hard on yourself. You may find that allowing yourself a break will make the work easier to complete when you return to it later.
The moon squares Jupiter and sextiles Uranus before moving void of course at 11:43pm EST. Some may have late nights, as the Gemini moon coupling with zippy Uranus's energy could keep minds busy and chattering into the early hours.
Sunday, July 3rd - This morning, the moon squares Chiron and then emerges from the void at 9:20am EST, entering Cancer. We are gearing up for tomorrow's New Moon, which will be a big one relating back to home, family and tradition. Many will be shedding things that no longer serve them, including houses and residences. Some may decide to part ways with significant others, or start new jobs.
The Sun and Neptune are in trine today, which brings on immense creative inspiration and a need to connect with others around us. There is a lot of emotional interconnectedness going on, and you may find that others' feelings are harder to ignore today. Empathic reactions are likely, even for those who are not normally sensitive. Inspiration comes through beautifully lucid creative thoughts and vivid dreams and daydreams.
The moon is conjunct Mercury tonight, which unites us with others and allows us to speak openly and share our thoughts and feelings in a clear and demonstrative way.
Monday, July 4th - The Cancer moon trines Neptune before conjuncting the Sun at 7:03am EST, otherwise known as the New Moon. This is a very dreamy New Moon, with energy centering around imagination and creative ideas. The New Moon in general is about shedding things that we've outgrown, and having this occur in the sign of Cancer directly connects us to ideas about family, tradition and the past. We may be called upon to reexamine concepts we grew up with, and some of us may actually physically change our place of residence this month, or else travel to new locales.
The moon sextiles the North Node and opposes Pluto this afternoon. The day's vibes cater to working together and joining with others to get things done. If you are an American celebrating today's holiday, it is an ideal day for family gatherings and social events. This is also true for those outside of the USA.
The afternoon and evening bring a moon/Jupiter sextile, a moon/Venus conjunction and a Mercury/Saturn inconjunction. The main takeaway from this series of transits is that we can get more things accomplished with the help of those around us today. While we are outgrowing certain ideas and belief systems from our past (as the New Moon dictates), we may find that others around us are instrumental in showing us new and exciting ways to look at the world. The Mercury/Saturn inconjunction may bring discomfort if we chain ourselves to our old viewpoints rather than allowing our minds to open to new possibilities.
Tuesday, July 5th - The moon trines Mars and squares Uranus early this morning before moving void of course at 2:29am EST. This is an excellent day for physical exercise and getting outside. The Mars influence brings a burst of energy and enthusiasm, and a moon/Chiron trine later this morning allows for emotional healing to come through physical movement.
Mercury and Neptune are in trine, an excellent transit for writers, public speakers and communicators of all kinds. We reach others through compassion today. Romantic ideas and gentle notions are celebrated. Words take on a more poetic flow and may be more symbolic than direct and logical.
The moon exits its void and enters Leo at 12:28pm EST. This is a festive afternoon and evening, where we may be called to be around others and to be seen out and about. It is a great time for performances or receiving positive acclaim. The Sun and the North Node are in sextile this evening, allowing us to shift toward positive fortune. The key here will be allowing yourself to step into the public eye without fear, as this will allow the necessary connections to be made for success.
Wednesday, July 6th - Today is loaded with planetary transits, but luckily they are all easy to navigate and bring on a sense of well-being for most.
The day begins with the moon trining Saturn as Mercury and the North Node are in sextile. The North Node of the moon is activated many times this week, which suggests that we are all going through shifts on a deeper, karmic level. We are being given glimpses into subtle areas of our lives that we typically gloss over or ignore. This may seem puzzling or perhaps even a little unpleasant for those of us who tend to not examine the inner self too deeply. Pay attention to recurring themes or seeming coincidences, especially those that keep getting brought up in conversation by others. Most of these have deeper significance and mirror certain events and feelings in our own psyches that need seeing to.
Venus and Mars are in trine today, which boosts physical attraction and magnetism. There could be a need to spend more time on personal grooming, or to make sure others see us in a certain light. Many will feel pulled toward someone special, be it a romantic partner or close friend with whom we seek intimacy on some level.
Tonight, the Sun and Mercury reach exact conjunction at 11:23pm EST. Now is the time to be clear about your intentions and beliefs with others. The public self is in harmony with spoken and written words, which makes this an ideal time to demonstrate truths and to be clear and courageous with your own personal vision. Talking to others about issues of importance will likely be easier today than it has been in the previous couple of weeks.
Thursday, July 7th - This morning, the moon squares Mars as Mercury and Pluto meet in opposition. Snags could come up, and themes of dominance and unsteady leadership arise. Some may revolt against being told what to do, and others may struggle to maintain order. There is a bit of chaos surrounding the day, and tempers flare under the harsh influence of Mars. A lot of these issues are caused by simple miscommunication and lack of foresight. Slowing down and taking time to explain your point of view in a clear and calm way will help to navigate out of sticky situations.
The moon trines Uranus before moving void of course at 8:06am EST. Despite the void moon, we have two big transits hitting over the morning and afternoon. Venus and Uranus are in square today, the effects of which can be felt into the next couple of days as well. Romances and partnerships take surprising twists and turns. It will be difficult for close relationships to follow a set routine or outline. Commitment may be difficult for some and cause unexpected results.
The Sun and Pluto are opposite one another, which exaggerates the effects of the other transits I've mentioned today. It is challenging to see eye to eye with others unless you really take the time to make an effort. Most people will jump to quick conclusions and act accordingly over the next few days.
The moon exits its void at 6:41pm EST and enters Virgo. The evening is quieter and is good for solitary work and regrouping.
