Star Codes
this week and stare at those clouds in the summer sky. Our intuition may see shapes and forms that give us hints about the future, and by the end of the week, we can work on plans to make it so. Two grand trines add an extra dynamism this week: A dreamy sunNeptune-Jupiter triangle in sensitive water signs helps us to imagine the bigger picture. An earthy grand trine as Venus enters Virgo late in the week, trining Uranus while hard-working Saturn brings about pragmatic change.
Let’s watch out for a tendency toward passivity or discouragement, which can be the first effects of these aspects. The trick is to balance acceptance and activism, whether with a small domestic issue or a big national problem. We may be feeling unusually sensitive, but we need to build up our resilience so we can stay and manifest.
As the weekend begins, Mercury and Venus in outgoing Leo can add bombast to the headlines, but may also encourage us to engage life wholeheartedly. The moon in comfort-seeking, stubborn Taurus encourages us to rest up and rejuvenate. A talkative Gemini moon on Monday and Tuesday gets the buzz going; we may need extra effort to stay centered, but can get our points across easily. On Thursday, a new moon partial solar eclipse in domestic Cancer can bring issues of family, health, and law to a head. This eclipse can trigger a personal or political earthquake, but it will give most of us room to clear the decks and start a new emotional phase around self-care or home.
The mood is upbeat, if reactionary. If confronted at midday, react appropriately rather than overreact. Toward evening, we’ll want to dive into life, but may forget to be careful; think it through.
This morning, a cuddly Taurus moon encourages breakfast in bed. Come afternoon, we’re tempted to make a physical change or alter the world in a concrete way. Evening brings a feistier edge as the moon squares Mars. Watch those political discussions.
Feel generous and dream big as the sun trines Neptune; just remember a dream needs follow-through. Let’s build up resilience and refill the wells. We must feed the soul so we can stay here for the long haul.
Notice a buzz in the air as mental Mercury squares Jupiter and the moon enters talkative Gemini. Keep compassion in mind. People can talk too much or give us lots of fascinating information; they may not mean it all, but listen carefully for salient truths. It’s tempting to take inventory of oneself and others — just make sure it’s fair and balanced.
It helps to review earlier work and previous interactions in order to distill the information we need to turn a corner. Look for the light at the end of the tunnel, though the tunnel may still be lengthy.
Self-protection runs deep, but our capacity to nurture humankind needs to run deeper. Honor a need to reconnect with our roots and routine; feel the support from like souls. People can get cranky — not because they don’t love us, but because memories run close to the surface and old scar tissue can be delicate.
Our thinking can be pleasantly fuzzy or totally deluded as Mercury challenges Neptune. Check facts, clear the mind, and stay present. The day can provide us with a mythic story, but we don’t have to get lost in a strange land. Tonight holds the potential for a breakdown or a breakthrough in circumstances around home, family, and homeland.
