Monday, July 18th ~ The dreamy Pisces moon trines Mercury at 2:39am and sextiles Pluto at 2:42am EST to kick off the day. These aspects produce a strong need to focus mentally and to center one's energy to tackle the task at hand. You may feel like you are cutting through heavy mist or fog in order to see clearly. The moon is void of course from 2:43am until it enters Aries at 7:17am EST. During this void period, Mercury shifts into opposition with Pluto at 3:00am EST. We might find ourselves emotionally reactive under this influence, and we could look for problems that are not really there. Breathe deep and hold back for a moment to observe before making an accusation or confrontation. The moon squares Venus at 8:14am EST, adding to the super charge of the first portion of the day. Now in Aries, the moon brings a dynamic charge to relationships. Tension builds and passions peak. Tonight the moon shifts into conjunction with Jupiter at 10:34pm EST and increases optimism and curiosity. You will likely wish to explore or adventure, or find your mind daydreaming about distant lands full of new sights to discover. It might not be enough to merely think about such things, and many will rush into impulsive action in order to explore.
Tuesday, July 19th ~ The moon is in pioneering Aries all day, charging us up and making us unafraid to speak our minds. Mercury enters Leo at 8:34am EST, where it will be until August 4th. This brief transit delivers creative ideas and favors dramatic communication styles. Drab, monotone explanations will likely glaze over the minds and eyes of listeners over the next couple weeks. Add some flair and color to your speech to garner more attention. Chiron stations retrograde at 11:21am EST at 16 degrees Aries. The Rx period will last until December 23rd and send the planetoid back to 11 degrees Aries. This is the second decan of Aries, ruled by the Sun. Here, we find ourselves called to overcome heavy ego identification. You may experience self-consciousness and be invited to shed this through allowing your true self to be seen in public. This is a good time for forgiving the self and working to integrate parts that you kept hidden at one point. The Sun opposes Pluto today at 9:38pm EST, which can present challenges that we feel fired up about. We get a kick out of overcoming obstacles, which can allow us to achieve extreme feats. However, be careful you do not create obstacles just to have something to face.
Wednesday, July 20th ~ The Aries moon sextiles Saturn at 2:28am and squares Pluto at 9:20am EST. These early energies bring determination to the forefront. You will want to chip away at a goal which brings measurable progress, and could resent interruption from others. The Sun and moon meet in square and usher in the moon's Last Quarter phase at 10:18am EST. This brings a more reflective view that draws our attention inward in order to assess where we are at. The moon is void of course from 10:19am until it enters Taurus at 2:22pm EST. The void is a good time to go outside and connect with nature, or keep a window open while you sleep if you are on the other side of the world. The moon squares Mercury at 8:18pm and sextiles Venus at 9:16pm EST. We seek out comfort from a loved one; much is said by saying little or nothing at all.
Thursday, July 21st ~ Today is extremely simple astrologically, with only one major transit occurring. The moon is in grounded Taurus all day, encouraging us to work with the five senses and practice feeling one with our environment. It's a nice day to spend time outside. The Sun is at the 29th degree of Cancer, about to shift into Leo tomorrow. We might feel antsy or a little emotional, especially as the moon conjuncts Mars at 12:06pm EST. Stubbornness is likely; if someone doesn't want to do something today, it might be better to give up and try again tomorrow rather than attempting to convince them.
Friday, July 22nd ~ The Taurus moon enters into a conjunction with Uranus at 2:13am and then moves on to conjunct its North Node at 5:20am EST. We connect with higher realms and could feel a bit alien or removed from our emotions and human identity. Getting lost in beautiful art, music, or other forms of media is quite likely. The moon squares Saturn at 12:17pm and sextiles Neptune at 3:45pm EST as the Sun ticks through the very final micro-degrees of Cancer. Intrusions on our imagination will be like a bubble bursting and we could get quite annoyed or frustrated. Things settle considerably once the Sun enters Leo at 4:06pm EST. Happy Leo season! The Lion's time of fixed fire is centered around self-expression and letting the inner child come out to play. These next four weeks enhance creativity and our ability to be powered up by the light of the Sun. The moon trines Pluto at 7:44pm EST and then moves void of course until early tomorrow morning. Solving a problem takes precedence; we might ponder the next step or employ our mental power to complete a puzzle or play a game.
Saturday, July 23rd ~ The moon is void of course until 1:10am EST when it ingresses Gemini. It then goes on to sextile the Sun, newly in Leo, at 1:57am EST. This ushers in the moon's Waning Crescent phase, a magical period of about 2.5 days that can be used for shedding what no longer serves us by giving away things that are cluttering up our homes or removing influences that are cluttering up our minds. Mercury trines Jupiter today at 1:52pm EST, a positive aspect that enhances creativity and our desire to soak up information. We could be excited to communicate our findings with others, and feel more buoyant, social, and hopeful as a whole. The moon sextiles both of these planets later on: Jupiter at 6:38pm and Mercury at 7:35pm EST. It's a good evening for spending time with friends and discussing ideas and hopes for the future.
Sunday, July 24th ~ Today is very simple astrologically, the day that is most free from celestial influences all week long. The moon is in airy Gemini all day, enhancing sociability and mental acuity. The moon sextiles Chiron at 10:18am EST, inviting in healing and allowing the mind to open up to explore new possibilities. You may be able to reframe your perception and see things in a whole new light today. It's a good time to check in on your own transits and see how the stars are influencing you currently; the freedom from universal transits will allow you to tap into their energies more strongly.
