Astrology Forecast June 30 – July 6, 2025
If there’s one day this week that calls for focus, planning, and purposeful action, it’s today. The Virgo Moon provides ideal energetic support for getting things done, setting intentions, and managing life’s details. There is a crispness in the air and a quiet sense that now is the time to tackle that to-do list or organize lingering goals.
Consider today is your anchor point for the week. It’s a prime opportunity for clearing your schedule, setting realistic goals, and aligning with your higher sense of purpose.
Adding to the day’s potency, Mercury forms a semi-sextile with expansive Jupiter, bridging fiery Leo and emotional Cancer. This subtle yet fortuitous alignment enhances our ability to communicate creatively and from the heart.
Whether you’re writing, speaking, or making plans, there’s a sweet spot between confidence and compassion that can help your ideas resonate.
Later in the day, the Moon’s quintile to Jupiter further emphasizes the theme of growth through thoughtful emotion. Quintiles are creative and inspired aspects; this one may bring an intuitive moment of clarity or an imaginative breakthrough.
Trust your instincts, especially if they guide you toward healing conversations or revisiting emotionally rich dreams.
However, a couple of more challenging lunar aspects roll in by the evening. The Moon sesquiquadrates Pluto in Aquarius, hinting at an undercurrent of intensity or emotional power struggles. Be mindful of trying to control outcomes or overanalyzing things beyond your reach.
Astrology Forecast December 2 – 8, 2024
The week begins with a dreamy, idealistic vibe this morning as the Sagittarius Moon squares Neptune in Pisces and Venus in Capricorn, forming a harmonious trine with Uranus in Taurus. Unconventional ideas will flow more easily today, and we may feel drawn to explore new approaches to long-term goals or relationships.
But while these lunar influences can spark creative inspiration and daydreaming, they can also blur boundaries and create a sense of mental fog. Pay attention to practical details to avoid miscommunication or overpromising. Embrace spontaneity while keeping your feet on the ground.
As the day progresses, the energy shifts as the Moon moves into Capricorn, introducing a more grounded and pragmatic focus. This will be the perfect time to organize your thoughts and take decisive action. By evening you should feel equipped to balance inspiration with practicality, setting the tone for a productive and fulfilling start to the week.
Wednesday may bring some inner tension as the Sun in Sagittarius squares Saturn in Pisces, highlighting the need to balance optimism with responsibility. You may feel the weight of obligation or doubt creeping in, but this is an opportunity to refine your goals with a more realistic perspective.
Later in the day, the Moon in Capricorn trines Uranus in Taurus, infusing the atmosphere with innovative energy and practical solutions for overcoming obstacles. This is followed by the Moon sextile Neptune in Pisces and conjunction Venus in Capricorn, reinforcing emotional sensitivity, compassion, and a deep desire for harmony in relationships. Together, these influences create a cosmic blend that encourages heartfelt conversations and grounding your dreams in reality. Wednesday offers the perfect balance of discipline and inspiration, concluding with a sense of connection, warmth, and creative fulfillment.
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 December 4 – 10, 2023
The week begins on a mentally sharp and very energetic note, with several aspects highly conducive to both personal and professional achievement and success.
Today and tomorrow will be especially good for work and business as the Moon transits through meticulous Virgo, combined with Venus entering the same sign today.
A Virgo Moon trine to Mercury in Capricorn this morning will further enhance our workday with increased mental acuity, practical thinking and wise decision-making, followed by a trine to Jupiter in Taurus that will promote social success and open doors to financial opportunities.
This ambitious, driven energy continues through tomorrow afternoon with a Virgo Moon trine to Uranus in Taurus, known for heightened ambition, focus, determination, and persuasiveness. By day’s end tomorrow, the Venus in Scorpio trine to Saturn in Pisces will put the finishing touches on our two-day siege of mental precision, focus, and persistence.
Astrology Forecast June 27 – July 3, 2022
Exploring new options will be the overriding theme under today’s Gemini Moon, as we’ll want to expand our curiosity and natural affinity for alternate ideas to what we have already. But carefully consider hitting that ‘buy now’ button today, as a better deal could come along in just a few more days!
This evening’s Gemini Moon sextile Mars in Aries creates the ideal ambience for a romantic date night. What better excuse to spoil that special person in your life! You may also have a craving for spicy food, so take your partner or spouse to a Mexican, Thai or Indian restaurant.
The Cancer New Moon occurs tomorrow, while Neptune goes retrograde for a five-month period. These two aspects can further generate new ideas and options, so keep your eyes and ears open. Beware tomorrow night’s Cancer Sun square Jupiter in Aries, as this aspect is known for tempting us to indulge in hedonistic pursuits that might leave you hungover and bloated from all the late night partying. Play it safe, and go to be early tomorrow night, instead of joining friends at that trendy new bar or nightclub. You will thank me in the morning!
Things should flow along smoothly under Wednesday and Thursday’s Cancer Moon, but if you find yourself moving in circles or unable to tackle a project, you can also blame it on this watery sign.
Our energy will resurface on Friday and Saturday as a fiery Leo Moon inspires action and more action.
Save Sunday for investigating details, organizing that closet that got out of hand, or mapping out a new plan of action under the detail-oriented Virgo Moon.
