Astrology Forecast July 19 – 25, 2021
We are certainly in for a busy parade of astrological events this week! Venus moves into Virgo on Wednesday, the Sun enters Leo on Thursday, and the Moon waxes full in Aquarius on Friday. So, basically, this week is a triple-header!
However, before the shifts occur later this week, we’ll need to embrace the purpose-filled energy of today’s Scorpio Moon, attending to loose ends and unfinished business that may have been on the back burner for the last few weeks. It is important that we do this in order to to clear a space for new energies to come in later this week.
So, we could end up working late today, or find ourselves having to delegate to get everything on our to-do list completed. But be patient and courteous with coworkers and employees, because the Scorpio Moon square Mars in Leo can cause us to us be hurried, irritable, and difficult to please.
Tomorrow’s Sagittarius Moon will cast a more light-hearted, spirited energy, making harmony and fun an underlying theme as we begin to move forward. Venus will also move out of fanciful Leo and into more grounded Virgo tomorrow, reminding us to be more altruistic and humanitarian in our attitude, and less self-focused for the next few weeks.
It will be easy to tell when the Sun moves into Leo on Thursday, as we begin to move into the final days of the season and start to sense a higher energy and purpose to our movements. For the next four weeks, a heart-centered tone will move us forward, evoking our generous sides and promoting greater self-love and self-care.
Friday’s Aquarius Full Moon arrives at the perfect time, as it promotes release and letting go of any ideas or mindsets that are holding us back. If we embrace this process and shift our thinking, it will be much easier to move into August with renewed hope, passion, and purpose.
The Moon in Aquarius will also make this a great weekend for fun, entertainment and social activities, so plan something crazy and exciting for Saturday!
Astrology Forecast July 12 – 18, 2021
Today’s Leo Moon will fill us with high spirits and a carefree attitude. The Moon’s conjunction with Venus in Leo may add a sentimental streak to our mood, while the conjunction with Mars in Leo adds some passion to the mix. However, be careful not to become temperamental or give in to moodiness. The optimism and lighthearted effervescence of Mercury in Cancer trine Jupiter in Pisces will fortunately help to counteract such negativity.
Tuesday and Wednesday’s Virgo Moon will inspire us to update our wardrobes, surroundings, and electronics, as it makes organizing and refreshing things a priority.
We can’t go wrong with a two-day ‘staycation’ under Thursday and Friday’s Libra Moon, which promotes balance, aesthetic awareness, and an open-minded attitude. You are likely to feel cheerful and spontaneous. It is the perfect time to socialize (safely and responsibly) and reconnect with loved ones.
Romance will also be a priority, so it might be a good idea to move the weekend’s date night up to Thursday evening. Surprise your partner with a romantic movie night or picnic under the stars. And if you are ready to propose then the Moon sextile Venus in Leo, in the early hours of Friday morning, creates the perfect opportunity for love, commitment and marriage.
Over the weekend the Moon drifts through Scorpio, reminding us that life is short and we should enjoy it to the fullest! We can leave chores behind and indulge in our favorite pastimes, as we honor our intuition and go with the flow. Beware however the potential for ‘Sunday blues’ with the Scorpio Moon square Saturn in Aquarius, which brings with it the energy of dissatisfaction and depression.
Astrology Forecast June 28 – July 4, 2021
Whew! After all the chaos in the heavens last week, we can regroup for the next seven days, as there are no major astrological events on the agenda. All in all, it will be a good week to rebalance: first spiritually and then physically later in the week.
The Moon will glide through Pisces today and tomorrow, bringing out our spiritual and reflective side. It calls us today to take some time out to focus on the inner self. The Moon conjunction with Jupiter in Pisces may also bring along a welcome financial windfall or an opportunity for social influence and success.
Tomorrow’s Pisces Moon square Mercury in Gemini creates a window of opportunity for us to access our spiritual gifts and talents, but be careful not to abuse the privilege or take it for granted.
We may not get much done the first three days of the week, but whatever we manage to process internally this week will be essential for us to move forward next week.
We can get back to work with more focus as the Moon cruises through action-oriented Aries on Wednesday, and most likely get twice as much done, compared to anything we attempted at the start of the week. Use the rest of the week to make up for lost time!
On Sunday the United States will be celebrate Independence Day under a Taurus Moon, and unlike last year, most of us should be free to safely enjoy holiday events and gatherings with our loved ones. The Taurus Moon square Mars in Leo has the potential however to make us impulsive, moody and argumentative on Sunday, so be sure to keep your calm around family and friends with whom you have a unresolved conflicts or lingering disputes – especially around loved ones of the opposite sex.
This weekend is also a great time to tackle those household repairs or renovations and engage in activities that challenge us on a physical and mental level.
Astrology Forecast June 21 – 27, 2021
The planets are playing musical chairs with abandon this week as we experience an significant astrological event almost every day!
The annual summer solstice for the Northern Hemisphere occurred yesterday, marking the start of summer this week (winter in the southern hemisphere) as the Sun moves into Cancer.
Mercury will resume forward motion tomorrow, setting the tone for a new cycle and focus for the next three months.
We also have a Full Moon in Capricorn on Thursday. This Full Moon in particular will bring out our need for security and stability, encouraging us to find new ways to limit unnecessary financial expenditures and to set a more financially grounded budget for the future.
Neptune turns retrograde on Friday and will inspire us over the next five months to pay more attention to our true passions and deepest desires. Neptune retrograde is a subtle influence of self-reflection and increased self-awareness, as well as greater introspection and turning our dreams and ideals into reality.
And if that isn’t enough planetary action for the week, Venus will move into the sign of Leo on Sunday, encouraging us to express ourselves more freely as it dances through this dramatic fire sign for the next three and a half weeks.
By the way, beware the Aquarius Moon opposition Mars in Leo on Sunday, as it can cause us to act impulsively and overspend. Disagreements with your partner may also be more likely with this aspect, so keep your cool and act responsibly.

For the next two weeks, we’ll be focused on our emotional well-being and inner peace, as we using the New Moon energy to create new ways of expressing ourselves and processing our feelings.
Be careful not to give in to unnecessary moodiness and irritability this week. It is recommended we stay grounded and centered today, as the constellation of the Taurus Moon conjunction with Uranus, also in Taurus, can lead to a lack of inner harmony and emotional balance and even cause us to act unreasonably, or behave in a peculiar way that is out of character from our normal habits.
By the time the Sun moves into Cancer on June 21st, our ability to move with our intuition and inner knowings will be at an all time high. Before this transition occurs, we can use today and tomorrow’s Taurus Moon to get our most important projects off the ground and set a course for greater achievements over the coming months, enhanced by Mars’ move into power-filled Leo on Friday. Mars will spend the next two months encouraging us to quit hiding our lights under a barrel and express our dreams and true selves for all the world to see.
The Moon will saunter through Cancer Friday and Saturday, focusing our attention on home, family, security, and comfort.

Today the Sun moves into Taurus, the sign that will inspire us to manifest our dreams over the next four weeks. Creative ideas will turn into tangible movement and we’ll have the power to reclaim our physical and financial balance.
Later today, Mercury will also join the Sun in Taurus, adding our logical and practical sides to this creative energy for the next couple of weeks. Problem-solving will become child’s play and accessing the information we need will be as easy as typing the issue into a search engine. Today’s Moon-Neptune Trine will further stimulate our creative impulses and imagination!
The Moon will travel through Leo on Tuesday and Wednesday, calling for us to make ourselves the priority. If we’ve been lacking in self-care, now is the time to regroup and put our own needs first. If you are highly sensitive, especially take heed the Leo Moon in opposition to Saturn in Aquarius on Wednesday, as it can trigger a low mood, or even sadness, loneliness or depression. If such feelings arise, reach out to someone you trust and remind yourself that you are never alone. There are kind people in this world who care.

Astrology Forecast April 12 – 18, 2021
The start of this week is a time to stand your ground and get productive as the first three days unfold under a determined Taurus Moon. As an earth sign, Taurus is brilliant at taking creative ideas and manifesting them in real life.
To add to this constructive Taurus Moon influence,Venus, the planet that rules Taurus, will move into this sign for a three week visit, enabling us to cast off restrictions and follow our heart’s desires. The sextile between the Sun in Aries and Jupiter in Aquarius on Thursday further promises to boost our confidence and energy levels to reach for our goals and be successful.
We’ll also be cruising the information highway Thursday through Saturday as the Moon dances through Gemini. This is the ideal time to research a project, learn a new subject, or start that blogging site you have been procrastinating on. We’ll be processing new information at record speeds later this week, and in the process, could discover the solution to a long-standing health or financial problem. So, pay close attention and keep lots of notes.
On Friday, take heed when the Aries Sun squares Pluto in Capricorn. This aspect may cause us to be impulsive, bossy or egotistical. Please also drive with caution today, as the risk for traffic accidents and road rage may be heightened. Whatever you do, do not give in to the temptation of misplaced arrogance and avoid unnecessary disagreements and conflict.
This potentially disruptive energy influence may be further aggravated by the Moon conjunction Mars in the early hours of Saturday, which may lead to additional irritability or the potential for emotional outbursts and even violent behavior. So, as the end of the week approaches, aim to stay calm and do what usually work best to calm your nerves. Remain grounded and keep your emotional center.
Sunday’s Cancer Moon will invite us to step back and relax a bit, cuddling up with loved ones or diving into a good book or favorite movie, as we regroup from a mentally and emotionally challenging week.
