Now for this week\u2019s Forecast…<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Monday, July 29th:<\/h3>\n

Monday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a> until 7:31am EDT<\/strong>; at that time<\/strong>, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Wednesday late morning<\/strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say to (and about) us, so be kind to yourself and others. Emotional safety is important to us at this time: We like connecting to the familiar, home or family becomes our sanctuary.<\/p>\n

Nurture yourself and others, but remember: Make sure your glass is filled before letting others drink from it \u2014 otherwise we might start resenting others for draining our energies<\/p>\n

Monday late afternoon<\/strong>, we are invited to make adjustments and (as best as we can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for healing around anger or self-identity and for taking care of emotional or family issues.<\/p>\n

Monday early evening<\/strong>, brings an opportunity to connect to family (or friends that feel like family) and create breakthroughs around things that we enjoy through our five senses (e.g. food). This may also be a good time to find a unique or global approach on financial matters that bring us a sense of emotional security.<\/p>\n

Monday evening<\/strong>, a challenging Sun\/Uranus aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 7:14pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Friday evening (July 26th) on; it will be strong until Thursday evening (August 1st). <\/strong>Routines and plans — especially those connected with creative endeavors, children, romance, parties or sporting events — are quite likely to experience disruption, calling\u00a0for flexibility and creative solutions.<\/p>\n

During this transit, we feel a great need to make progress, as we feel quite restless — maybe even anxious — but if we’re unclear on what is in our best interest, we might focus on things that don’t serve us in the long run.<\/p>\n

As best as you can, go with the flow and stay open to experiencing something new and wonderfully unexpected; if you can, put off making major decisions for the time being… “haste makes waste” during this aspect \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

You can think of this as “reorganizing” time — like rearranging your furniture — try not to resist the reorganization. Enjoy the ride\u2026 and remember: it only feels uncomfortable because it\u2019s new and different. Could you allow yourself to be comfortable with being uncomfortable?<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in…<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 3-10 degrees of\u00a0Leo, Taurus, Scorpio<\/strong>, or\u00a0Aquarius<\/strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Aquarius<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Leo<\/strong>\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius).\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Tuesday, July 30th:<\/h3>\n

Tuesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Monday morning for details).<\/p>\n

Tuesday late morning<\/strong>, we may experience authoritarian or rigid attitudes, both toward and from others. This could create some tension or oppositional behaviors — so, as best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care, doing your best to take care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to stay grounded in reality.<\/p>\n

Tuesday afternoon<\/strong>, a somewhat challenging Mars\/Neptune aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 4:09pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until Wednesday evening<\/strong>. Our idealism and high expectations could lead us into frustrating circumstances that leave us emotionally and physically drained.<\/p>\n

Our vitality and emotional resilience increase as we learn how (and where) to get involved in projects we feel passionate about.<\/p>\n

That said, we may also have difficulty establishing realistic limits with others and around our own self-expectations; this, combined with a tendency to laziness (especially where exercising good judgment is concerned) could leave us feeling “rudderless” or even overwhelmed. As best as you can therefore, allow for downtime, rest and spiritual connection.<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-20 degrees of Leo<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Aries or Pisces (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune rules Pisces)<\/em><\/p>\n

Tuesday evening<\/strong>, we may take an all-or-nothing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors… As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care \u2014 take good care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to empower yourself and others.<\/p>\n

Tuesday at 11:32pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for almost 10 hours until 9:18am EDT Wednesday late morning. <\/strong>If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to connect with family or friend who feel like family. Could you permit yourself to receive love — and communicate your needs?<\/p>\n

As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday late evening until Wednesday late morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Also, on Tuesday<\/strong>,\u00a0Uranus starts to slow down (station)<\/em>. It will come to a halt in 6.5\u00ba of Taurus<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(on Aug. 11th — starting its 5-month retrograde phase). Uranus will move more slowly for almost four weeks between now and Aug. 26th<\/strong>, anything connected to its energy will come into our awareness quite strongly: We have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us.<\/p>\n

Uranus’s themes: breaking away from traditional structures, moving towards a new future that serves others as well as ourselves — and we can confidently expect the unexpected.\u00a0Inner and outer freedoms will move to the forefront of discussions. We might have flashes of insight or new ideas about what needs to change in our lives.<\/p>\n

What might this be for you? Where do you feel the desire to break free? If “Freedom” were inside of you, where might it be? Where have you denied yourself permission to be free? Unique? Simply yourself?<\/p>\n

With this much erratic energy moving through our bodies, we are best of staying in movement and “shaking it out”. Rather than blindly doing our own thing, it will serve us now to focus on aligning our visions and desires with our current financial resources and values.<\/p>\n

This also gives us the opportunity to look at how free we truly feel within our relationship to what we value and how we connect to material resources. Are we expressing our individuality to the fullest? Are we connecting to a larger vision for our future? Is anything holding us back? As best as you can, share your ideas, and inspire others to share your vision of a better future: See who wants to come on board — and look for how you can connect with other collaborators to make it happen..<\/p>\n

Uranus also rules electronics, technology and the internet, so don’t be surprised if you experience some interruptions or short-term failures in these areas. Group activities are also ruled by Uranus, so these too will be more at the forefront of awareness. As best as you can, stay open and flexible, go with the flow — and pay attention to those messages from the Universe \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Is your Sun-sign or Ascendant in Aquarius? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-9 degree of Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius <\/strong>or Leo<\/strong>? If so, you are more affected by this station.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wednesday, July 31st:<\/h3>\n

Wednesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a> until 9:18am EDT<\/strong>; at that time<\/strong>, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo<\/strong>,<\/em> where it will journey until Friday late morning<\/strong>. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<\/p>\n

If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two-and-a-half days.<\/p>\n

What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it? This Moon placement starts build up towards the New Moon (exact later tonight).<\/p>\n

Wednesday late evening, at 11:12pm EDT<\/strong>, t<\/em>he Moon\u00a0aligns with the Sun in 8.5 degree of\u00a0Leo<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0—\u00a0in other words, the\u00a0New Moon\u00a0will be exact.\u00a0(I recommend you also watch my New Moon video\u00a0on the subject<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This New Moon is also\u00a0the\u00a0end\u00a0of\u00a0Eclipse season;\u00a0we have received our consciousness\u00a0upgrades, and can now move forward with any intentions we set in early July.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0New Moon in fun-loving, extroverted, expressive\u00a0Leo<\/strong>\u00a0has us looking for heartfelt experiences. It’s important for us to express ourselves, to learn about love — and in particular, to learn about how those things work together to gift us the power of creating from the heart and from a place of joy.<\/p>\n

Think about the keywords for this self-expressed fire sign: \u201cproud, generous, hospitable, caring, warm, authoritative, active, open, fun-loving\u201d…\u00a0How could you live into those words?<\/p>\n

Leo<\/strong>\u00a0is ruled by the Sun, symbol of consciousness and the unique light we came to shine forth in this lifetime — this is what we were born to explore and express… ask yourself:<\/strong> Where could I shine my\u00a0unique light more brightly? What brings me joy? Not just in general… but in this very moment?<\/p>\n

Leo<\/strong> also represents our creativity. There are as many ways to be creative and self-expressed as there are “selves” — indeed, we are all creators — we create with every thought, every word, and every action.<\/p>\n

Creativity requires innocence, curiosity, courage, and play. To live it out, we must tap into the unique spark inside of us in a joyful way; we must also allow ourselves the freedom to make mistakes — creativity thrives on love and permission and is stifled by judgment and fear.<\/p>\n

Take a moment to contact your “free inner child” — that place inside that is ready to play and create.\u00a0What might that inner child need to come out and play?\u00a0If you aren’t sure, there’s no need to guess: Try asking it gently and directly…<\/p>\n

This New Moon chart is unique, in that we have six retrograde planets<\/em> (bear in mind that there are only 9 planets that can even go retrograde)! This means that… to read the whole article and get all the coaching questions, click here<\/a><\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 6-11 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus<\/strong> or Scorpio<\/strong>? Or your Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Leo<\/strong> or Cancer<\/strong>? This New Moon may feel stronger to you…<\/em><\/p>\n

The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So the\u00a0best time to set intentions this month\u00a0would\u00a0between 11:12pm Wednesday evening (July 31st) <\/strong>and\u00a04:48pm Thursday afternoon (Aug. 1st).<\/strong>\u00a0If that doesn’t work for you, wait 8.5 hours until 9:20am Friday late morning<\/strong> (Aug. 2nd) <\/strong>— you then have until 11:12pm Friday late evenin<\/strong>g to write your intentions down (all times in EDT — the New York timezone).<\/p>\n

If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), I recommend you join my Facebook Fan-page<\/a> or<\/em> follow me on twitter,<\/a> as I post reminders on Wednesday late evening, Thursday throughout the day, and Friday all day, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Wednesday at 11:58pm EDT,<\/strong> Mercury come to a halt<\/em>\u00a0in 24 degrees of Cancer <\/strong><\/em>and\u00a0slowly starts its direct motion,\u00a0after its 3-week retrograde phase<\/em>. As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now — you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its shadow phase\u2026more on that later.<\/p>\n

We are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your inner joy and your past over the past 3 weeks? How might you share your findings in a healthy way with others? What needs to be addressed with regards to your needs or your creative self-expression?<\/p>\n

When Mercury gets back to its regular speed<\/em> (by Aug. 6th<\/strong>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.<\/p>\n

Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with Gemini<\/strong> or Virgo<\/strong> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) — and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 22-26 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, <\/strong>or Libra<\/strong>?\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

As you may recall, I mentioned\u00a0Mercury shadow phases<\/em>\u00a0in this update a few weeks back: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it’s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular\u00a0shadow phase<\/em> ends on Aug. 13th<\/strong>.\u00a0Click here to read my blog on the subject.<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, on Wednesday<\/strong>, as I already mentioned in the New Moon article, Eclipse Season ends that started on June 22nd<\/em>. Yay! We have now fully received our consciousness upgrade! Congratulations! You are ready to move to a whole new level of being \ud83d\ude09 If you set some Eclipse Intentions, now is a perfect time to start taking action on them (if it feels right to you): what might be a small or large step that you could take towards emotional maturity that you would like see manifested within the next 6-18 months?.<\/p>\n

Thursday, August 1st:<\/h3>\n

Thursday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Wednesday late morning for details).<\/p>\n

Thursday morning<\/strong>, things flow nicely; we feel excited about new adventures. We have an opportunity to connect, explore, and become part of something exciting.<\/p>\n

Thursday late morning<\/strong>, feels a little uneasy. We need to develop an inner awareness around our two seemingly opposite pulls: on the one hand, a strong desire to accomplish; on the other, our need for play and fun.<\/p>\n

We are asked to bring awareness to whatever it is we feel most committed to: Are we after laughter and joy? Or building a solid foundation? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and drop any self-judgment.<\/p>\n

Thursday early afternoon<\/strong>, a harmonious Venus\/Chiron aspec<\/em>t becomes exact at 12:58pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until Saturday evening. <\/strong>This brings the ability for compassion and understanding towards others. We are able also to heal some personal wounds from the past.<\/p>\n

We are more willing to express ourselves, as we trust that the other person has our best interest at heart. We also more easily allow for our own humanity and limitations as we relate to others and are more forgiving towards them and ourselves.\u00a0How does this show up for you?<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 2-9 degrees of Aries, Leo<\/strong>, or Sagittarius<\/strong>? If so, you are more blessed by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Libra<\/strong>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).<\/em><\/p>\n

Thursday afternoon<\/strong>, we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to have some fun, but may also need to tune in to our intuitive inner voice. What do you hear when you get really quiet?<\/p>\n

Thursday at 4:48pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for 16.5 hours until 9:20am EDT<\/strong> (Friday late morning). Use this intuitive time to express yourself creatively, authentically and directly: make fun and playfulness your goal!<\/p>\n

As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday late afternoon until Friday late morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Thursday evening<\/strong>, feels a little uneasy again. We need to develop an inner awareness around our two seemingly opposite pulls: on the one hand, a strong desire to accomplish; on the other, our need for play and fun.<\/p>\n

We are asked to bring awareness to whatever it is we feel most passionate about: Are we after laughter and joy? Or intense and authentic emotion? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and again, drop any self-judgment.<\/p>\n

Friday, August 2nd:<\/h3>\n

Friday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a> until 9:20am EDT<\/strong> (see Wednesday late morning and Tuesday late afternoon for details).<\/p>\n

Friday morning<\/strong>, a challenging Venus\/Uranus aspec<\/em>t becomes exact at 6:00am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on, it will remain strong until Sunday evening. <\/strong>This “stretch aspect” asks us to grow beyond what we know and have experienced in the past in regards to our relationships, especially our romantic relationships, and.<\/p>\n

Priorities may shift. We may experience clashes of taste or values within our networks; as you can imagine, we may feel some instability or restlessness in connection to others. We may also struggle with freedom versus material safety — the latter manifesting as fears around financial goals.<\/p>\n

As best as you can, take a deep breath and hold off on decision-making with regards to finances — in particular, it is best to avoid impulse buys at this time.<\/p>\n

In general, expect the unexpected: Things may take a different turn when it comes to the truly important. Keep your mind and heart open: if something demands elimination or change, it was waiting for that shift to happen anyway. As best as you can, find creative solutions and stay flexible and adaptable. This is not the best time to take things too personally (but then again, is there ever a good time for that? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Do you have your\u00a0Ascendant, Career Point\u00a0(or personal planets) in the following:\u00a03-10\u00a0degrees\u00a0Leo, Taurus<\/strong>, Aquarius<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>, Libra<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Aquarius<\/strong>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius).\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Friday at 9:20am EDT,<\/strong> the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical Virgo<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Sunday late morning<\/strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time\/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.<\/p>\n

Health might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<\/p>\n

Friday early evening<\/strong>, calls for some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to heal our relationship with the inner masculine (assertiveness\/anger, leadership, taking actions) \u2014 and on the other, the need to tend to our daily work or health routines.<\/p>\n

Friday evening<\/strong>, we are invited to connect with like-minded people and learn something new about our unique talents or value in the world. We are able to better connect to anything that requires attention to detail. We might also perhaps implement revolutionary health routines or other systems in our day to day life that support our values and make life more enjoyable.<\/p>\n

Also on Friday<\/strong>,\u00a0Jupiter slows down again (stations) in 14 degrees of Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em>, preparing to come to a halt on Aug. 11th (after having been retrograde for the past 4 months). This station will last until Aug.18th.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

When a planet stations, we start to be more fully aware of its energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies as they exist within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.<\/p>\n

Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight through knowledge. Some of this planet’s keywords: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, wisdom, understanding and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with our sense of humor, generosity, tolerance, goodwill, and mercy.<\/p>\n

The lower expressions of Jupiter include irresponsibility — too much of a good thing, leading to blind optimism, excess, and overindulgence.<\/p>\n

We have been connecting internally to our wisdom and ability to grow for the past four months. What did you discover about your ability to learn and grow since April? Do you have a better understanding of your own inner wisdom and how to access it? How could those discoveries change how you live in the world?<\/p>\n

Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 12-16 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo <\/strong>or Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendent or Sun-sign in\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>\u00a0(Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter’s movements and aspects).<\/em><\/p>\n

Saturday, August 3rd:<\/h3>\n

Saturday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Friday late morning for details).<\/p>\n

Saturday morning<\/strong>, we are being asked to stretch and grow — to undertake a process of belief-adjustment. You may feel a little scatter-brained or all over the map. As best as you can, stay flexible — and don’t be too hard on yourself.<\/p>\n

Saturday late morning<\/strong>, we are more capable than normal of looking at the details, and focusing on what’s sitting right in front of us that demands to be taken care of, so we can get to the next phase of accomplishment. We are invited to look at all the practical implications; we need to slow down and take our time if we are to manifest something that can stand the test of time — rushing things will most likely backfire right now.<\/p>\n

Saturday afternoon<\/strong>, we seek a balance between head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition. That said, if you can achieve that balance, it\u2019s a great day for being of service.<\/p>\n

Saturday evening<\/strong>, we can potentially accomplish quite a bit: The Moon in Virgo<\/strong> makes a harmonious aspect to Pluto in Capricorn<\/strong>. Virgo<\/strong> and Capricorn<\/strong> are Earth signs, so getting down to business and focusing on the task at hand takes less effort than normal. We are able to tackle anything that requires attention to detail and maybe even implement health routines or other systems that support our long-term goals.<\/p>\n

As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC,<\/a> as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday night\/Sunday very early morning until Sunday late morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Sunday, August 4th:<\/h3>\n

Sunday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a> until 9:30am EDT<\/strong>; at that time,<\/strong> the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until, next week Tuesday late morning (August 6th).<\/strong> The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<\/p>\n

We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might like.<\/p>\n

We may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No” \ud83d\ude09 One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.<\/p>\n

Sunday early afternoon<\/strong>, a somewhat challenging Mars\/Pluto aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 11:59am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from this Friday evening on; it will remain strong until Monday evening (August 5th).<\/strong> We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.<\/p>\n

As best as you can, evaluate any projects before getting involved; our great energy and genuine humanitarian spirit could feed other people’s unrealistic expectations, leaving us feeling drained and unappreciated.<\/p>\n

If we are able to reevaluate our everyday habits and inner dialog, we will see whether or not they really support our long term goals. If you have the choice, go deeper rather than faster — empower yourself and others by thinking long-term, rather than tearing forward…<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-23 degrees of Leo<\/strong> or Capricorn<\/strong>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries<\/strong> or Scorpio<\/strong> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Pluto rules Scorpio).<\/em><\/p>\n

Sunday early evening<\/strong>, we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies — on the one hand, taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world — and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others?<\/p>\n

Sunday evening<\/strong>, calls for some inner adjustments, as we feel uneasy or awkward, and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, we want to innovate in the area of our values (and maybe also have some financial breakthroughs); on the other hand, the feel the need to attend to our one-on-one relationships, supporting them (and perhaps collaborating).<\/p>\n

And\u2026<\/h3>\n

A heads up for next Monday (August 5th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Sunday late morning August 4th for details). Uranus’s Station phase intensifies until Aug. 19th.<\/em> At 6:25am EDT<\/strong>, the Moon in Libra<\/strong> sextiles the Sun in Leo, <\/strong><\/em>time to start taking action on our New Moon intentions. The Moon in Libra sextiles Venus in Leo<\/strong> exact at 2:00am EDT, it sextiles Jupiter in Sagittarius<\/strong> exact at 9:27am EDT, it squares Saturn in Capricorn<\/strong> at 10:46am EDT, it quincunxes Neptune in Pisces<\/strong> exact at 3:33pm EDT, it squares Pluto in Capricorn<\/strong> exact at 8:51pm EDT<\/em>, and it sextiles Mars in Leo<\/strong> exact at 10:26pm EDT.<\/em> More about all the details in next week\u2019s forecast \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Saturday night<\/strong>\/ Sunday very early morning, at 12:27am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for 9 hours until 9:30am EDT <\/strong>(Sunday late morning). Use this intuitive time to gain more clarity around daily health and work routines — and perhaps to communicate what you need to feel emotionally safe and connected to yourself and others.
