Astrology Forecast July 29 – August 4, 2024
The week begins this morning with the Moon in a moody semisextile aspect to Chiron and a semisquare to the Node, causing us to feel more emotionally sensitive and introspective, with a hint of tension about our path forward.
Pay attention to subtle inner cues, as these can offer profound insights into personal growth and understanding. You may feel a slight tug between past patterns and future aspirations this morning, requiring a balanced approach to resolution. Trust your intuition and consider how your actions align with your long-term goals.
Fortunately, the Sun’s quintile to the Moon later this morning offers a spark of creative inspiration and emotional clarity. This aspect enhances your ability to express yourself authentically and creatively, paving the way for positive interactions and innovative solutions.
This week we can expect to feel the pre-shadow effects of Mercury going retrograde on Sunday. As it is, Mercury is already slowing down to retrace its steps through the degrees it will later revisit during retrograde.
We may begin to notice miscommunication, delays, and technological glitches even before the official retrograde period begins next week. The pre-shadow phase sets the stage for retrograde, and being aware of it can help you prepare and manage its potential effects more effectively. If you have not already done so, now is the time to back up all your data and update your computer and smartphone.
Astrology Forecast July 22 – 28, 2024
The Sun entering Leo this morning shifts the energies for the next four weeks toward confidence, creativity, and a desire for self-expression. Combined with the influence of an Aquarius Moon, today will be a great time to pursue creative endeavors, connect with others on a deeper emotional level, and embrace both leadership and nurturing roles.
An Aquarius Moon on a Monday combines the emotional and nurturing energy of the Moon with the innovative, rational, and community-oriented qualities of Aquarius. This results in a balanced approach to emotions, innovative problem solving, improved social connections, and a strong focus on humanitarian efforts.
The Aquarius Moon trine Jupiter in Gemini this morning will add a refreshing and positive energy that promotes innovation, effective communication, and a sense of optimism. This aspect is likely to enhance both personal and professional interactions, making for a great start to the week.
Use today’s innovative energy to brainstorm and implement new ideas or projects at work, and explore new ways of dealing with personal emotional challenges by embracing unique and unconventional solutions.
Mercury enters Virgo on Thursday, reinforcing our analytical thinking, clear communication and attention to detail. This transit promotes an environment of efficiency, clarity and constructive communication.
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.
Astrology Forecast July 8 – 14, 2024
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.
