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.

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.

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!
The Seven Angels Of The Planetary Week
If you are reading this, you are probably familiar with the idea that the angelic realm watches over us. Angels are divine beings who constantly protect, guide, and support humanity.
Each of us has a guardian angel assigned to us at birth, who remains by our side throughout our lives, providing constant protection and guidance.
While guardian angels have a more intimate and personal role in our lives, archangels oversee broader aspects of our existence and can provide specialized support, guidance, and assistance. For example, Michael offers protection, Raphael provides healing, and Gabriel helps us communicate.
It is often assumed that archangels are a purely Christian concept, when in fact they are deeply rooted in various religious, mystical, and cultural traditions. Our modern knowledge of the archangels can be traced back through a complex interplay of mythology, theology, and mysticism across many civilizations and time periods.
Early accounts of such powerful celestial beings can be found, for example, in the mythologies of Mesopotamia and Canaan. These cultures had divine messengers who can be seen as precursors to the concept of archangels. One of the clearest early influences on the development of archangelic figures can be found in Zoroastrianism. The Amesha Spentas, or “Holy Immortals,” are divine beings who serve Ahura Mazda, the Supreme God. These beings resemble later archangelic figures in their roles and attributes.
What is also not commonly known about the archangels is that each day of the week is traditionally associated with a specific angel. This tradition is rooted in a fascinating blend of ancient astronomy, mythology, and religious mysticism, including Kabbalistic teachings, Christian mysticism, and angelology. It is the result of associating the days of the week with the seven classical planets, which in turn are traditionally associated with seven archangels.
