July 17 – 23

Through the Shadow

What to expect: Sketchiness
What to watch out for: Breakthroughs
What will it affect? Relationships, money, ambitions

On the 17th we start off with some sketchy energy for business. Venus the planet connected to our values, money, and relationships is squaring Neptune. Neptune in a square shows the shadow side of Neptune; delusional, dishonest or evasive. The problem will be that Mars is also in a square to Uranus causing us to have a rash or impulsive energy that we want to dispel. This can lead us to make a hasty and incorrect decision. In truth, there are no wrong decisions. “Mistakes” just take us down a more difficult route to where we need to go! Sometimes we need to learn the hard way! Supporting this idea is Mars forming a trine to Chiron. Hasty actions will take us into our self-ignorance and help to us to access brave and ethical approaches. Even if it’s initially via the dark side.
Why? Venus Square Neptune, Mars Square Uranus, Mars Trine Chiron

Catching our mistakes

What to expect: Attention to detail
What to watch out for: Breaking free
What will it affect? Relationships, money, communication, self-concept

By the 18th and 19th, we switch energy completely and catch our mistakes. Venus will trine Jupiter creating a great time for looking at our contracts, deals, and partnerships – both business and personal. Mercury will also trine Saturn allowing us to take pause and to look at things with a critical eye. It allows us to catch our errors and if we do so, we also have some energy available through the sun squaring Uranus to breaking free of old ego attachments and allows us to discover new aspects of ourselves. As Pallas opens up the potential to see patterns in our relationships, we may also see improvements in our relationships too.

Why? Venus Trine Jupiter, Mercury Trine Saturn, Sun Square Uranus, Pallas Trine Juno

Leo New Moon

What to expect: Opportunity to Grow
What to watch out for: Immaturity
What will it affect? Leadership, creativity, inner wounds, intentions

The New Moon is at 0 Leo, the very beginning of the sign. It’s a baby Leo moon, so though we have ideas of being king of the jungle, we are not there yet. Leo is the sign of the leader. But it’s also the sign of the child and as a baby Leo we haven’t learned to walk yet. What makes a good leader? We have a month to till the next New Moon at the end of Leo. A more mature Leo New Moon which will also be a New Moon Solar eclipse…. but leading up to that time and starting with this baby Leo New Moon, we have the opportunity to set intentions for growing our inner child into that leadership. The Sabian symbol for the New Moon is “under emotional stress, blood rushes to a man’s head”. From this, we see that immature Leo… bossy, demanding, and dogmatic…. and ready emotionally ready to explode! He or she is a strong character, but without the maturity, their power is used in gross ways. Added to this energy is the fact that the New Moon is conjunct Mars in Leo. It brings in the possibility of arrogance and a need to have it our way. If we don’t get our way, we may implode or explode! The New Moon is squaring Uranus, so we can be erratic and all over the place with our emotions. Imploding leads to illness… exploding leads to a loss of followers. Now think of those leaders you highly respect. What are some of the things they embody? One that is certainly a key to mature leadership is emotional intelligence. For those who don’t know the importance of emotional intelligence in leadership, check out this article. Luckily, we have access to heal our emotions with this New Moon as is will also form a helpful trine to Chiron. This means that we can get in touch with the voice of our inner Moon (mother) and Sun (father) for needed healing. Intentionally or unintentionally they wounded us and impact the way we lead in the world. It’ times to grow those parts of ourselves into adults. To understand and change the meaning we made of things and to generously forgive… something that Leos have a great capacity for!

Also, fortunate is the conjunction of mercury to the North Node in Leo at a later degree. We have the opportunity to tap into some leadership energy that can lead to conscious break through as these two make a connection.

Why? New Moon at 0°Leo, Mercury Conjunction North Node, Sun Trine Chiron

Work like you don’t need to Money!

What to expect: Enjoying work
What to watch out for: Opportunities to learn
What will it affect? Relationships, work, communication,

The planets go a little quiet this week. There is a noticeable lack of transiting aspects. This may be a much needed planetary reprieve, especially after the powerful Full Moon that we had over the weekend. Hopefully, you were too negatively impacted, but if you were, just know that this week we have a bit of a break. As the moon passes through Aquarius this week we can get objective about whatever we are feeling, maybe even checking in with our the opinions of our friends for their view. It turns a little emotional again as it moves through Pisces later in the week and by the weekend, the moon will land in a third quarter in Aries and we’ll be ready to move emotionally from whatever we have been processing!

Though it is quiet astrologically, we do have some excellent transits for work. On July 14th Uranus will trine Vesta in Leo. This brings out play fun and creativity in our work. We may have amazing breakthroughs as we allow ourselves to laugh and express ourselves through our work. It doesn’t need to be creative work. It can just be work that YOU enjoy. Mercury is also sextile Jupiter and so workshops, teaching, and learning are favoured.

With Jupiter in Libra making a sextile to Mercury in Leo, relationships or partnerships can also be worked on. Involve yourselves in some type of game where you will need to communicate and work together to win.

Many of you may be on vacation and this is not a bad time to go off on one. Vacations that engage your passions and feature learning will be a hit. For example, if you are an Astrology geek, your vacation might feature something like a trip to Egypt and a guided tour of Hathor Temple to check out the Dendera Zodiac. Passion + Learning + Travel = Fun

Why? Uranus Trine Transiting Vesta, Mercury Sextile Transiting Jupiter

Express Your Art!

What to expect: Artistic Expression
What to watch out for: Initial confusion
What will it affect? Relationships, money, communication

As the week starts we are dealing with something that needs healing in our money or relationship situation. At first, we may be overwhelmed and scattered. This is because Mercury will square Uranus. Mercury is in emotional Cancer and thoughts and emotions may get twisted into a tangled mess. Fortunately, Mercury will move into Leo on July 5th, and levity in our thoughts return

Also on July 5th, an optimistic and creative energy will also become available. Creativity expressed through the pen will be favoured. Go public with your penned novel, poem or speech as your words are likely to have an unexpected impact. Channel your past pains and the learning from those hurts to stir inspiration, tears or anger in words. Whatever emotion you stir, the potential is there to do so in a way that resonates with something in the collective.

Why? Venus Sextile Chiron, Mercury Trine Chiron, Sun Trine Neptune, Sun Square Jupiter, Uranus Sextile Ceres

Negotiations

What to expect: Business deals
What to watch out for: Know it all energy
What will it affect? Contracts, communication, ego’s, intuition

On July 7th we have some great energy for negotiating contracts, business and finance. If you are negotiating, its likely to be a fun marketing or learning venture. There are two energy patterns that may impact your decision making though. The first is that mercury is square Pallas. Mercury in Leo and in a tense energy pattern brings out her proud and know-it-all side. This will challenge Pallas’s grounded wisdom and common sense in Taurus. Ego’s may be hurt but just trust your intuition about what is right. Chiron is also square Ceres. This may bring up hurt feelings around communication. Maybe you feel silenced or someone else feels unheard. The best way to get through this negotiation is to embrace humility, listen to your intuition and listen to one another.

Why? Mercury Sextile Venus, Mercury Square Pallas, Chiron Square Ceres

Full Moon Capricorn

What to expect: Leadership opportunities
What to watch out for: Power plays
What will it affect? Big Business, governments, leadership, work

The full moon on July 8th is in Capricorn. It’s a powerful one! This will come to a head big time at this full moon. This is because the moon is in Capricorn and conjunct Pluto. A powerful transformation in all Capricorn areas, including government and big business, comes to some form of completion. There is likely to be abuses of power or inappropriate use of power. Vesta will meet up with the north node in Leo, focusing the energy on leadership at work or leadership in areas which we are passionate. The Sabian symbol for this Full Moon is “The Union Jack flies from a new British destroyer” is definitely a symbol that speaks of political power. When governments forge forward, what do they forge forward for? What is the worth of our governments? What is their danger? Those we are grasping for power will grasp harder. Those who are fearless in forging a new type of leadership will have the support of Vesta on the North Node.

Why? Full Moon, Vesta Conjunction North Node, Sun Opposition Pluto
