Straight Stars

The emotional barometer continues to stay heightened.

Venus has one more week to go before exiting Cancer. The focus remains on family, home, real estate, money, personal and public safety, and security. Placing us at critical threshold-crossing and evaluation time, Venus is now stimulating the degree of the July 12 eclipse. Do not underrate a thing. Everything holds greater-than-average karmic potency, potential, and meaning. Thanks to the upcoming eclipses, we are heading onto an acceleration track. From now through the end of the month, the stars will be installing the software package for the July and August eclipses and the upcoming Mars retrograde cycle that begins at the end of June.

Thursday to Saturday, the Aries moon keeps the action on a brisk and mostly straightforward movealong. As of Tuesday, Mercury enters Cancer for a quick two-week run. Including the list mentioned above, Mercury also highlights trade, commerce, trends, nationalism, and protectionist issues.

Coinciding with a historic summit between Trump and Kim Jong Un, July 12 and 13 delivers a super new moon in trendsetting Gemini. It is an apt, perhaps even an auspicious, time for talks, negotiations, exploring, brainstorming, and creative solutions. Mercury/uranus also favours spontaneity and social activity. (It should be noted that Gemini can also be a dualistic, double-talk, or trickster archetype.) Venus in Leo, launching on Wednesday’s super new moon, can be confidence-generating, happymaking, or a generous influence. It’s also a good transit for putting on a show or for loving them up.

ARIES

March 20–April 19

The moon in Aries tops up your energy and sets you onto a fresh track Thursday and Friday. Come the weekend, the Taurus moon can slow you down, but only a little: you’ll shift from one thing to the next, covering a range of emotions, moods, and topics as you go. Pay the price for the added convenience. Monday through Wednesday are smooth-running.

TAURUS April 20–May 20

One way or another, the weekend will keep you on the go. Expect to stay full to the brim. For the most part, it all comes naturally. Monday begins a relatively smooth-running move-along week. Mercury in Cancer, starting Tuesday, and Venus into Leo, starting on new-moon Wednesday, dial it up on money matters and affairs of the heart.

GEMINI

May 21–June 21

Mercury in Gemini keeps you on an agility track, this regarding your moving your body, your mind, the conversation, and the action piece, too. Saturday to Wednesday, good timing is on your side. Monday can be especially easygoing. Sign it; say it; do it: Wednesday’s super new moon favours a fresh start, a first date, or a new venture. Spontaneity delivers.

CANCER June 21–July 22

Stay creative; explore potentials; dream bigger. If you can see it in your mind’s eye first, there’s a better chance of making it happen (within reason, of course). Saturday/sunday takes you through an evaluation process. Mercury in Cancer, starting Tuesday, and Venus in Leo, starting on new-moon Wednesday, set wheels in motion. They can dish up something more, fresh, better, and/or heartwarming.

LEO

July 22–August 22

Go exploring; try it on for size; keep looking ahead. Aim to finish what you can: clear your time; clear your mind as best you can. Monday through Wednesday should prove to be a smooth go. Go by feel; go by heart—the mind will readily team up. Social, romantic, or lucrative, Wednesday’s super new moon can get you going on something fresh and opportune.

VIRGO

August 22–September 22

The stars maintain a mostly smooth and easy pace through mid–next week. Mercury in Cancer, starting Tuesday, loans you better focus and good concentration. You’ll find that you can absorb information readily, that your intuitive radar and instincts are quicker on the uptake. Wednesday’s super new moon is an ideal day to meet up, talk it out, sign it, or get moving.

LIBRA

September 22–October 23

Communications, study projects, and sales tracks run at optimum through next Wednesday’s super new moon in Gemini. Set the plan or intention in motion; go exploring: you should find you gain better-than-average result or reward. Monday through Wednesday are built for ease. Samepage accord can be readily found. Pay close attention to first impressions and intuitive clues.

SCORPIO

October 23–November 21

While the stars are mostly on a smooth run through mid–next week, Mars in Aquarius keeps it stirred up regarding personal-security issues, a lifestyle change, family, home, and real-estate matters. You are likely to sense a karmic undercurrent regarding endings, beginnings, and transitions. Change is where it is at. Don’t second-guess it. Try something new on for size.

SAGITTARIUS November 21–December 21

A change is as good as a rest—perhaps it does you a one-up. Over the next few days, something said, seen, or downloaded can light a fresh spark. The weekend will be as productive as you make it. Mercury in Cancer, starting Tuesday, pumps up emotional sensitivity. Venus in Leo, starting on Wednesday’s super new moon, gives you a reboot.

CAPRICORN December 21–January 19

Entertain all possibilities. Explore; experiment; think outside of the box. Now through the end of September, Mars in Aquarius will prompt you or force you to break new ground. Tuesday/wednesday, give it a first or a second try. The mobilizing super new moon in Gemini supports fresh effort. Add; subtract; switch; replace; or revise.

AQUARIUS

January 20–February 18

A new reality now sets into play. Over the next few days, you may feel a strong sense of déjà vu or of karmic wheels in motion. Stay observant; pay close attention to instincts and intuition; feel your way along. Wednesday’s super new moon in Gemini makes for an auspicious time to sign it, say it, or do it.

PISCES

February 18–March 20

The sun and Mercury in Gemini keep you well on the go. Home can be a place you visit or it can be a hub of activity. Tuesday/wednesday produces an energy, attention, or conversation shift. Watch for news. Use the super new moon to have a talk, visit/remeet, sign a contract, file paperwork, or renew terms.
