Astrology Forecast July 15 – 21, 2024
This morning the combined influences of Sun square Chiron, Scorpio Moon quincunx Jupiter, and Mars conjunction Uranus create a complex and dynamic start to the week.
The influence of the Moon in Scorpio will add even more intensity and a desire for deep change to the mix of emotional sensitivity, need for balance and strong drive for change that these three aspects evoke. This can be both challenging and empowering, depending on how you navigate these energies today.
Try to begin the day with a grounding practice, such as meditation or journaling, to help you manage any emotional turbulence. Clarify your goals for the week and create a flexible plan that can accommodate both your needs and your ambitions. Above all, be open to unexpected changes and opportunities, as adaptability will be key to navigating these unbalanced energies today.
Tomorrow morning will be a good time to do business with the Scorpio Moon trine Saturn in Pisces, especially if you need to sell your ideas to senior management or important clients. This harmonious aspect allows for a seamless integration of emotional intelligence with practical action, leading to better customer understanding, trust building, problem solving, and overall financial efficiency.
The Sagittarius Moon on Wednesday and Thursday brings a burst of optimism, an adventurous spirit, and a desire to explore. This mid-week aspect promotes enthusiasm and a sense of freedom, helping us to break out of routine and infuse our week with inspiration and excitement. Seek out new experiences, embrace learning opportunities, and think expansively. It’s an ideal time to expand our horizons, both mentally and physically, and to take a more optimistic and open-minded approach to challenges.

Venus weaves much of her lovely magic this week through several planetary aspects and a major transit. Get ready for a heightened focus on relationships, pleasure, and creative self-expression – but with a twist or two!
Today, Venus in Cancer sextiles Uranus in Taurus, infusing the start of the week with unexpected yet positive emotional and relational shifts.
It will be a great day for creatives and innovators, as creative endeavors flourish with innovative ideas and unique expressions that add a spark to routine tasks or projects. This aspect encourages embracing change and finding beauty in the unconventional, making it a great day to try something new, whether in personal relationships or aesthetic pursuits.
Thursday Venus reigns supreme as she casts several sensual spells on us, so buckle up! Thursday morning Venus trine Neptune, together with Moon sextile Venus, brings a wave of dreamy idealism, romantic vibes and a harmonious blend of emotions and desires. We’ll feel naturally affectionate and receptive to love, making it easier to connect with others and openly express our feelings.
We’ll see the world (and potential partners) through rose-colored glasses, fostering compassion, creativity and a desire for beauty. It will be a good time to connect with our artistic talents, embrace forgiveness, and let intuition guide us toward love that feels divinely inspired.
Astrology Forecast July 1 – 7, 2024
This week’s astrological highlights include Neptune going retrograde, Mercury moving into Leo, and a Cancer New Moon on Friday.
With all these changes happening this week, we may want to be mindful and pay attention as our moods and energies shift almost daily.
Luckily, the week starts off with a sensible Taurus Moon today, allowing us to maximize our productivity before things become both intensly introspective and contemplative, yet also expressive and dramatic, starting tomorrow.
This aspect provides a grounding and stabilizing influence today, fostering a calm, balanced mindset that encourages practical action and a more pragmatic focus. Use this lunar influence to establish a routine for the rest of the week, organize your schedule, and take care of outstanding financial matters.
Tomorrow is the most cosmically significant day of the week, as both Neptune goes retrograde and Mercury enters Leo.
Neptune’s retrograde will encourage introspection and a reevaluation of our dreams, delusions, assumptions and beliefs. Over the next five and a half months, until December 7th, the veil between reality and fantasy will thin, leading us to confront truths we may have avoided until now. It will be a time of inner exploration, uncovering hidden motivations and dispelling unrealistic expectations.
Astrology Forecast June 24 – 30, 2024
How we express ourselves this week will reveal whether or not people are listening, as the Aquarius Moon today and tomorrow encourages us to be more assertive and clear in our communication. We all have different styles, but if you feel like no one is listening, it’s time to explore alternative ways of getting your message across.
With the Moon in Aquarius, you may also feel a shift towards a more rational and detached approach to your emotions. The energy of this aspect encourages innovative thinking and a strong desire for independence.
You may be drawn to unconventional ideas and new technologies today, feeling less bound by traditional norms. It’s an excellent time to embrace change, explore new hobbies and connect with like-minded people who share your forward-thinking outlook.
Social and humanitarian interests also come to the fore under this lunar influence. Engaging in group activities or community projects today and tomorrow will bring a sense of fulfillment and purpose. Relationships may take on a more intellectual and less emotionally intense tone, valuing mutual respect and personal freedom. Use this time to think creatively, plan for the future and challenge the status quo, making sure to balance your need for independence with your need to connect with others.
Our most productive days of the week will be Friday and Saturday under the Aries Moon, when our energy returns and our resolve expands. An Aries Moon greatly increases productivity by giving us high energy, motivation, and a proactive mindset. This lunar influence encourages quick decision-making, assertiveness, and a strong drive to start and complete tasks efficiently.
Astrology Forecast June 17 – 23, 2024
Cancer vibes reign supreme this week as Mercury, Venus and the Moon all transit into this emotional water sign today, followed by the Sun on Thursday, heralding the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
The annual summer solstice marks a time of renewal and growth. With several planets in Cancer at the time of this year’s summer solstice, this week is likely to be especially potent for personal development and home life.
This powerful astrological alignment will especially affect our emotions, relationships, communication, and overall energy. The alignment of these planets will create a harmonious and balanced energy, ideal for starting new projects related to home and family.
This configuration can also be a powerful time for emotional healing and the release of past traumas. It’s a good time to focus on self-care and nurturing your emotional well-being.
But proceed with caution, as emotions can run deep this week, leading to increased sensitivity and possibly moodiness. Decisions may also be influenced more by feelings than logic. Instead, use this emotional energy to honor your feelings and those of others. You may feel a greater need to care for others and to seek emotional security.
In terms of communication, our conversations may focus more on home, family and emotional issues. We will feel a greater need for security and comfort in love. There may be a focus on personal safety, both emotional and physical. Prioritize strengthening family bonds and creating a nurturing home environment. This week is a good time to set goals related to home improvement or family matters.
Astrology Forecast June 10 – 16, 2024
A very quiet cosmic week awaits us with no major astrological events on the calendar. The only significant change this week began yesterday when Mars entered Taurus, where it will remain for the next six weeks until July 20, 2024.
During this transit we may notice an increased focus on persistence, determination and tangible results. Mars in Taurus encourages us to take a steady, methodical approach to pursuing our goals, rather than rushing headlong into action.
We may be more inclined to work diligently and patiently toward our ambitions, valuing consistency and reliability over impulsiveness.
In addition, Mars in Taurus can increase our desire for comfort, security and material pleasures. We may feel motivated to assert ourselves in matters of finances, possessions, or physical well-being.
However, it’s important to be aware of the potential for stubbornness or resistance to change during this time, as Taurus energy can be resistant to upheaval or disruption.
Overall, Mars in Taurus invites us to ground our actions in practicality, perseverance, and the pursuit of long-term stability. It’s a time for taking deliberate, measured steps toward our goals and cultivating a sense of resilience and determination in the face of challenges.
Tonight a Leo Moon sextile Mercury in Gemini brings a harmonious blend of emotional expression and mental agility. You may feel more confident and expressive in communicating your feelings and ideas this evening. The energy of this transit tends to encourage lively conversation and social interaction, making it a great time for social gatherings, creative projects, or mentally stimulating activities that may keep you up well past your bedtime!
Astrology Forecast June 3 – 9, 2024
There’s an influx of Gemini energy this week. Along with the Sun, which is currently moving through this versatile sign, Mercury (the planet that rules Gemini) moves into Gemini today, followed by a Gemini New Moon on Thursday.
As Mercury enters Gemini, the planet of communication, intellect, and travel moves into the sign it naturally rules, amplifying its influence. Over the next two weeks we will experience heightened mental activity, more effective communication, and increased social interaction, making for exciting conversations, heated debates, and the exchange of ideas.
Our social lives will take center stage this week with social gatherings, networking, and meeting new people. We will be more curious than usual and have a heightened desire for new knowledge, information and learning. Be prepared for some unexpected discoveries. Creatives who write, speak and perform will feel especially inspired.
On the downside, we may have difficulty making decisions, and the prevalence of Gemini energy can bring a sense of restlessness and impatience. It’s important to channel this energy constructively, keeping yourself busy with meaningful tasks and not spreading your focus too thinly.
Fortunately, a Taurus Moon today and tomorrow brings some balance with its grounded, practical, and steady energy that can enhance productivity, financial planning, and stability. It encourages a patient, methodical approach to the start of the week, while also reminding us to appreciate comfort and well-being.
