I sent it out on July 23rd late evening \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Monday,<\/strong>\u00a0the Moon remains in creative, sensitive<\/em> Pisces<\/em> all day<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>It will journey there\u00a0until Wednesday morning. <\/strong>This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.<\/p>\n But… that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.<\/p>\n It’s also a great time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<\/p>\n Monday early morning, <\/strong>we experience a need for 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 be creative, outgoing and self-expressed \u2014 and on the other hand, the need to go within and be quiet, so we can hear the subtle voice of our intuition.\u00a0 <\/span>(Moon in Pisces<\/strong> quincunxes Sun in Leo<\/strong>,<\/em> exact at 5:55am EDT)<\/p>\n Monday morning,<\/strong>\u00a0we are invited to\u00a0make clear choices\u00a0when it comes to relating to others. Do your best to discern what works for you, and what doesn’t, while also connecting and engaging with a compassionate heart.\u00a0(Moon in Pisces<\/strong> opposes Venus in Virgo<\/strong>,<\/em> exact at 9:04am EDT)<\/p>\n Also on\u00a0Monday<\/strong>, Chiron ends its Station\u00a0phase<\/i>\u00a0and gets back to its normal pace through the sky — but appears to be moving backward through the sky (as seen from Earth — that\u2019s what \u201cretrograde\u201d refers to).\u00a0We have a chance to do some internal work on any wounding or insecurities around personal identity, physical appearance, or leadership abilities that came up over the last couple of weeks.<\/p>\n For those of you who want to\u00a0have a better understanding of your personal healing journey,\u00a0feel free to get the recording of\u00a0my\u00a0workshop\u00a0<\/b>on\u00a0<\/b>Chiron: “Healing with Astrology” <\/b>Click here\u00a0for more info<\/span><\/a>.

It will journey there until Aug. 11th.\u00a0<\/b><\/span>Our mind is more able to connect to our heart, so we tend to feel generous and expressive. This is a great time for gratitude, compliments, connecting to your inner joy and being playful. The only thing that can come between you and your heart is pride; do your best not to put it there.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in\u00a0<\/i>Gemini<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/i>Virgo<\/i><\/b>? If so, you will feel the need for being self-expressed and playful more strongly. If you have a\u00a0<\/i>Leo<\/i><\/b>\u00a0Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you will be more chatty for the next 2 weeks.<\/i><\/p>\n <\/b>Tuesday\u00a0at 9:13pm EDT,\u00a0<\/strong>we enter a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a> that will last for almost 9 hours, until 5:58am EDT\u00a0<\/b>(Wednesday morning). Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve you long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.<\/p>\n As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/span><\/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 morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n Tuesday late evening,\u00a0<\/strong>a somewhat challenging Mercury\/Jupiter aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 9:45pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Monday late evening<\/strong><\/b> on; it will remain strong until later Wednesday late evening.\u00a0<\/strong><\/b><\/span>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we\u2019re to see what needs adjusting.<\/p>\n This aspect is a fork in the road: We may want to express our extroverted, creative side but we also need to expand our ability to tune in to our intuitive inner voice. Do we go after an exchange of information and share ourselves in a self-expressed, joyful way? Or expand our perspectives and attitudes around our spiritual\/intuitive understanding of life?<\/p>\n Awareness is key with this aspect: What demands to be done? What would a broader view show us? How might we use what we then see?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following: 0-1 degrees of <\/i>Leo<\/b>,\u00a0<\/i>Pisces <\/i><\/b>or <\/i>29 degrees of\u00a0 Cancer<\/strong> or Aquarius<\/strong><\/i>? 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 <\/i>Gemini, Virgo<\/i><\/b> or <\/i>Sagittarius<\/i><\/b> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).<\/i><\/p>\n Wednesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive<\/em> Pisces<\/strong> and VoC<\/a> until 5:58am EDT; at that time,\u00a0<\/strong>the Moon moves into <\/em>pioneering, fast-paced <\/i><\/span>Aries<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Friday afternoon<\/strong>. Life is an adventure, we’re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.<\/span><\/p>\n Wednesday morning, at\u00a0<\/strong>8:43am EDT<\/strong>, <\/span><\/b>Jupiter (currently retrograde) re-enters\u00a0<\/span>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, objective <\/i>Aquarius<\/i><\/b>, where it will journey until<\/b>\u00a0Dec. 28th.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Due to Jupiter’s Retrograde phase, it journeyed through Aquarius<\/b> already once before: between Dec.20th, 2020\u00a0<\/b>and May 13th, 2021.<\/b> Think back to that time: What did you explore in your various networks and communities at that time?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For the next 5 months<\/b>, Jupiter — the principle of expansion, generosity, and personal growth — will focus once again on group consciousness, group visions, and networks of like-minded people<\/b>; the opportunity now is to bring the enthusiastic energies of Jupiter to our communities, creating equality and open-minded exchanges with others.<\/p>\n Jupiter in <\/i>Aquarius<\/i><\/b>\u00a0also promotes a greater understanding of our potential for everyone to express their individuality<\/b>, celebrating each other’s differences. It helps us to have faith in our ability to turn challenges into change when we come together<\/b> as one mind, one heart, one consciousness.<\/p>\n While Jupiter is in <\/i>Aquarius<\/i> (until Dec. 2021)<\/b>, we definitely attract the most good fortune when we are tolerant and fair, inventive, impartial, and cooperative<\/b>. We value people and personal freedom. Unique perspectives, skills, and talents will serve us most. We are more open to new methods and want to see progress in the world<\/b>. Possibilities for great tolerance and major humanitarianism<\/b> are very strong; in particular,\u00a0we are invited to offer freedom of choice to others.<\/b><\/p>\n We are also more able to think outside the box<\/b>, are more mentally adventurous, ready, willing, and able to learn. We are into \u201cmind expansion\u201d, and are less attached to our values because we are generally more impartial and open-minded now — in fact, an original mind is what we seek. Intellectual stimulation is likewise welcome now, and the pursuit of technological inventions to make the future better, and easier for everyone, is a worthy goal.<\/b><\/p>\n Jupiter in Aquarius<\/b> also helps to create…\u00a0If you are already a\u00a0 Member of my online community, feel free to read the whole article<\/b> here<\/b>.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thursday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in <\/em>pioneering, fast-paced <\/i><\/span>Aries<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0all day\u00a0<\/strong>(see Wednesday morning for details).<\/p>\n Thursday early afternoon,\u00a0<\/strong>a Mars\/Jupiter opposition<\/em> becomes exact at 11:50pm EDT. We started to feel this opposition build from \u00a0Sunday afternoon <\/b>(July 25th) on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening<\/b> (August 2nd).<\/span><\/p>\n Back in March 2020<\/b>, we experienced a Mars\/Jupiter conjunction in almost 23 degrees of\u00a0Capricorn<\/b>: What seeds of expansion got planted in your life back then? Which of those seeds have sprouted and flourished? Which might need a little extra something to help them bear fruit?<\/p>\n Between July 25th and August 2nd,<\/strong> the following is particularly important to us: our communities and networks, our ability to actively explore new perspectives or have a new vision for humanity, and our desire to get started on projects and personal goals (especially anything that is connected to creativity, active self-expression, having fun or taking a risk). We need to find the balance point between these desires.<\/p>\n On the other hand, we are also optimistic, enthusiastic and impulsive; while this can be very attractive, some of us may have some difficulty getting along with people, since we tend to be more competitive than cooperative. This competitiveness is not aggression: we simply enjoy a good spirited contest.<\/p>\n Given we have an abundance of physical energy at this time, we may consider channeling it into exercise or outdoor activities (like hiking), or playing fun games. We may also feel more restless at this time and we may need a lot of personal freedom. We are enterprising and ambitious — we want to “make it big” — so watch out that you are not overreaching. How might you catch yourself if you started to do that?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or any personal planets) in the following:\u00a026-29 degrees of <\/i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus,\u00a0<\/b>Scorpio <\/strong>or in 0-2 degrees of<\/i>\u00a0Virgo, Pisces, Gemini <\/i><\/strong>or<\/i>\u00a0Sagittarius<\/i><\/strong>? If so, you may feel the effects of this opposition more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0<\/i>Aries<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/i>Sagittarius<\/i><\/b>. (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).<\/i><\/p>\n Thursday afternoon, <\/strong>at 4:32pm EDT<\/strong>,Mars changes signs from fun-loving, risk-taking\u00a0<\/i>Leo<\/i><\/b>\u00a0to detail-oriented, practical, service-oriented\u00a0<\/i>Virgo<\/i><\/b>, where it will journey\u00a0until Sept. 14th.<\/b>. With Mars in Virgo<\/strong>, we are more inclined to put our energy towards a project that takes care of our day-to-day, practical matters or a health issues.<\/p>\n Creating order in our daily lives and knowing what’s coming next is easier for us now. We are better at organizing, planning on a short-term scale, and doing errands at this time. We may feel that we do things better than others right now; therefore we may not give others a chance to improve their skills or show us a different way of doing something.<\/p>\n As best as you can, keep the focus on yourself and watch out for impatient outbursts or for the need to be right at all cost. Be of service to others, and remember that perfection is not a goal, it is a journey.\u00a0How can you move towards improving things in your life, rather than having things be perfect all the time?<\/p>\n If you have an\u00a0Aries<\/strong>\u00a0Sun-sign or Rising-sign,\u00a0you are going to feel more focused on practical details and health issues. If you are a\u00a0<\/i>Virgo<\/i><\/b>\u00a0Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized and passionate for the next 6.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise, a work or health project might be advisable.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Friday, <\/strong>the Moon remains in <\/em>pioneering, fast-paced <\/i><\/span>Aries<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0until 4:08pm EDT <\/strong>(see Wednesday morning for details).<\/p>\n Friday early afternoon,\u00a0<\/strong>a somewhat challenging Venus\/Saturn<\/em> aspect becomes exact at 12:27pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from this Thursday early afternoon<\/strong> on; it will be strong until Saturday early afternoon.\u00a0<\/strong><\/b><\/span>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward, and need to make a choice; we must develop inner awareness to see what needs adjusting.<\/p>\n It can be hard to see what we are actually responsible for in relationships, so we sometimes take on unnecessary responsibilities, to ensure the relationships continue. We may ask ourselves: “Do people like me for myself, or for what I do for them?” If you’re confused on this point (or any point), as best as you can, keep choosing the “better” alternative and make adjustments as necessary.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 9-12 degrees of<\/i> Virgo <\/i><\/b>or<\/i>\u00a0Aquarius<\/i><\/b>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.<\/i>\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0<\/i>Taurus, Libra\u00a0<\/i><\/b>or\u00a0<\/i>Capricorn<\/i><\/b>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)<\/i><\/p>\n Friday at 3:38pm EDT, <\/strong>we enter a brief Moon VoC<\/span><\/a> that will last for 30 minutes, until 4:08pm EDT. <\/b>Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with like-minded people and move a project forward that serves your community. It\u2019s time for a new perspective: What new vantage point could we take? What needs to be considered, so we can move forward faster?<\/span><\/p>\nBefore we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention:<\/h3>\n
