Astrology Forecast for the Week of July 4, 2022 – July 10, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of July 4, 2022 through July 10, 2022 features 3 major planetary aspects (Mercury sextile Mars, Mercury square Jupiter, Sun sextile Uranus) and Mars moves into Taurus and Mercury moves into Cancer.

So, the first week of July is pretty busy. Let’s dive right in.

Cosmic Overview

This week we have two planetary sign changes – Mercury moves out of Gemini and into Cancer, and energetic Mars grinds to a halt as he enters slow and steady Taurus.

Mercury in Cancer

On Tuesday, Mercury moves into Cancer. The sign of Cancer is ruled by the ever-changing Moon, and with Mercury in the sign of the crab, our thoughts may shift frequently and may be governed by our current emotional experiences. Since Mercury has no essential dignity in Cancer, you may experience constantly shifting emotional experiences, and you may have difficulty expressing your feelings because Cancer is considered a mute sign. Additionally, Cancer is associated with home and family, so you may find conversations with relatives and an increased focus on your home and current living experiences.

Mars in Taurus

Mars doesn’t care for the sign of Taurus, because it’s sooooo SLOW! Mars likes fast impulsive movement and prefers to act upon intuitive hunches that lead the warrior god to victory. The earthy realm of Taurus is concerned about the real world, and Mars would prefer not to be bogged down my practical sensibilities. Why? Because it’s boring, and Mars hates being bored.

However, even though Mars prefers to be elsewhere, he still needs to perform. In Taurus, Mars is capable and consistent, and while Mars is in the sign of the bull, it’s an excellent time to focus on projects that bring tangible results. Furthermore, Mars in Taurus is extremely stubborn and becomes easily agitated if it feels thwarted by others. You may need to stay mindful and be as proactive as possible.

Daily Breakdown

Monday, July 4, 2022

Happy Independence Day if you live in the United States. We start the week off with the Moon moving through dutiful Virgo. Virgo is about life management and what you can do to bring order into your life. It’s an excellent day to clean up loose ends, focus on health-related matters, and even get a good workout. During the evening hours, the Moon applies by trine to Uranus. An unexpected surprise may make your day!

Tuesday, July 5, 2022

After Mars and Mercury switch signs, they form a lovely sextile during the early morning hours. Mercury sextile Mars is an extremely active aspect, and you can use this energy to focus on projects or objectives that need a boost of energy. You may feel more confident and assertive than you ordinarily do, and it’s easier to convey your thoughts and opinions to others. Mercury sextile Mars is also great if you need to debate an issue.

Wednesday, July 6, 2022

The Moon spends the day moving through fair-and-balanced Libra. It’s an excellent day to focus on relationship matters, especially if you need to repair one. This is also a good day to focus on resolving legal issues or to file legal documents.

Thursday, July 7, 2022

The Moon continues to move through Libra and forms a beneficial trine to Saturn. It’s a good day to focus on business matters or do the work necessary to level up. Later this evening, be on guard, because the Moon squares Pluto and intense emotions may surface that are hard to control. Try to work through your feelings than reacting to them.

Friday, July 8, 2022

On Friday, the Moon moves through turbulent Scorpio and forms a nasty opposition to Mars shortly before dawn. You may feel agitated and easily annoyed by other peoples behaviors or attitudes. To add insult to injury, the Moon then opposes Uranus and then squares Saturn. Expect the unexpected and you may go through periods of self-doubt.

Saturday, July 9, 2022

Mercury squares Jupiter in Aries. Your overall attitude will be positive and it’s an excellent time to make long-term plans and goals. Mercury square Jupiter is excellent for business transactions and contractual negotiations. Just make sure you read the fine print before signing the dotted line.

Sunday, July 10, 2022

We close the week with the Sun sextile Uranus, which is a pleasant and harmonious aspect. It’s an excellent day to break free from the restraints of your usual routine and do something exciting and outside the box. You can also use this energy to make changes in your life, especially if you feel like your life has been in a rut.

See you next week!

Astrology Forecast for the Week of June 20, 2022 – June 26, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of June 20, 2022 through June 26, 2022 features two major planetary aspects (Mercury sextile Jupiter, Venus trine Pluto) and two sign changes – the Sun moving into Cancer and Venus moving into social Gemini.

All the astrological activity happens at the beginning of the week, so let’s dive right in.

Cosmic Overview

The Sun moves into the sign of Cancer, and summer in the Northern Hemisphere (winter in the Southern Hemisphere) officially begins on Tuesday at 5:14 AM EST. Cancer season reflects the time of year where we can get in touch with our emotions, repair toxic familial dynamics, and create a secure foundation to build our lives on.

The Moon is the ruler of Cancer, and she sits in fiery, and pushes us towards taking charge of our lives by leaving the past in the rear-view mirror and focusing on building and expanding our lives. In the Cancer season chart (called an ingress chart in astrologese), the Moon applies to a lovely conjunction with Jupiter, and then she trines Mercury. During Cancer season, the chart instructs us to embrace the future, overcome obstacles and limitations, and create networks that help us level up.

Take advantage of this summer season and prepare for a rebirth!

Astrology Forecast for the Week of June 13, 2022 – June 19, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of June 13, 2022 through June 19, 2022 features four major aspects (Sun trine Saturn, Sun square Neptune, Venus square Saturn, Venus square Neptune), a Full Moon in Sagittarius, and Mercury moves out of Taurus and back into Gemini.

So, after two weeks of slow cosmic activity, the heavens speed up, and we get a pretty busy week.

Let’s dive right in…

Cosmic Overview

This week, we have a Full Moon in Sagittarius, which occurs on Tuesday, June 14, 2022 at 7:52 AM EST/4:52 AM PST. The Full Moon in Sagittarius reflects the need to let go of areas governed by the sign they are in, and in the case of Sagittarius, it’s our beliefs that are on the chopping block. Letting go of beliefs can be a daunting task, because they have often been a main feature of our personal psychology. However, now is the time for you to let go of outdated beliefs that may no longer be useful, and may be hindering your personal growth.

Daily Breakdown

Monday, June 13, 2022

We start the week off with Mercury moving back into Gemini after he slipped back into Taurus during his retrograde cycle. Mercury in Gemini is perfect for fun in the sun, frolicking on the beach, and socializing with others. Mercury moving into Gemini dovetails into the Full Moon in the opposite sign of Sagittarius. So, it may be difficult to focus on practical duties and responsibilities, because you will feel the urge to have some fun.

Tuesday, June 14, 2022

Besides the Full Moon, which occurs a few hours after dawn, the Moon continues to move through Sagittarius and squares Neptune in Pisces. You may suffer from morning brain fog and need to be careful when making decisions throughout the morning hours. Your imagination will be fruitful, but it may be hard to focus on serious concerns. The good news is that later in the day, the Moon leaves the sign of the archer and moves into Capricorn, and your sensibilities should return.

Wednesday, June 15, 2022

The Moon moves through Capricorn and applies to a tense square to Mars in Aries. You may feel easily agitated by people who are shirking their responsibilities or not pulling their own weight. Try to avoid arguments as much as possible, and be proactive. Power struggles, no matter how appealing they may seem, will not work to your advantage.

Thursday, June 16, 2022

On Thursday, we have a collusion of opposites, as the Sun trines productive Saturn and squares befuddling Neptune. You may feel the urge to get things done, but outside forces may alter your plans. Try to focus on tasks that give you the most benefit, and leave the rest for a more favorable astrological cycle.

Friday, June 17, 2022

The Moon moves through social Aquarius, and it’s a great day to spend time with your friends and like-minded individuals. Your mood should be optimistic, and you will enjoy the company of others. Later in the day, you may find yourself mildly annoyed by unexpected events as the Moon squares Uranus.

Saturday, June 18, 2022

Venus in Taurus squares Saturn in Aquarius. You may go through moments of feeling alone and isolated from the rest of the world, and you may have difficulties relating to others. For those in relationships, seek solutions to your problems and look inward for answers on how to improve your connection to others.

Sunday, June 19, 2022

We close the week out with a lovely sextile between Venus and Neptune. Your imagination will be kicked into high gear, and it’s a great day to work on creative projects. You can also use this energy to appreciate art, music, and movies. Relationships and romance also get a boost while this aspect is active.

See you next week!

Astrology Forecast for the Week of June 6, 2022 – June 12, 2022

So, it’s going to be another slow week in the cosmos, with all the activity of the week occurring on the weekend. Since it’s such a light week, let’s dive into the daily breakdown.

Daily Breakdown

Monday, June 6, 2022

We start the week off with the Moon moving through Virgo. It’s monthly tune-up time, and it’s a great time to look at your daily life and make changes and adjustments if necessary. The Moon in Virgo is also excellent for health checkups and starting an exercise or wellness program.

Tuesday, June 7, 2022

The Moon continues to move through Virgo and forms a lovely trine to Uranus. It’s an excellent time to explore new activities and opportunities. Expect the unexpected, but since the aspect is a trine, surprises and changes may be to your benefit. If new opportunities are presented, they will likely pay off.

Wednesday, June 8, 2022

The Moon moves out of Virgo and into Libra right before noon, and the sign of Libra urges us to look at your relationships, and do what you can to improve them. Since the Moon opposes Jupiter, you will be in a positive state of mind, which can help you repair things if necessary. You may also spend the day focusing on your goals and aspiration.

Thursday, June 9, 2022

The Moon continues to move through Libra and opposes Mars in Aries. You may find that you are at odds with others, especially if you find them uncooperative. You may feel aggravated and easily angered. Avoid reacting impulsively, and stay in your own lane as much as possible.

Friday, June 10, 2022

On Friday, we have our first aspect of the week, as Mercury forms a productive trine to Pluto in Capricorn. You will be concerned with your inner world and ways to understand yourself better. If you dig deep enough, you may discover potentials you never knew existed before. Take advantage of latent talents, because they can help move you to the next level.

Saturday, June 11, 2022

Venus conjoins Uranus in Taurus. You may feel a bit restless and crave some excitement in your life. If you’ve felt smothered in your relationships, there may be an urge to break free and do your own thing. It’s an excellent weekend to spend some time alone, working on yourself, and getting in touch with your inner being, your wants, and your desires. Newfound self-discoveries may surprise you.

Sunday, June 12, 2022

We close the week with the Moon moving through Scorpio, and she forms a nasty square to Saturn. You may feel isolated, misunderstood, and have moments of insecurity and self-doubt. Try to push away negative thoughts if they surface. Later in the day, the Moon opposes Mercury, and communication issues with others may easily occur.

See you next week!

Astrology Forecast for the Week of May 30, 2022 – June 5, 2022

Astrology Forecast for the Week of May 30, 2022 – June 5, 2022

After one hell of a busy month, the month of May closes, and June begins with a striking slowdown in the cosmos. This week we have no major planetary aspects, but we do have a New Moon in Gemini, Mercury turning direct, and Saturn turning retrograde in Aquarius.

Let’s dive right in…

Cosmic Overview

This week the biggest newsmaker is the New Moon in Gemini that occurs on Memorial Day. This is the first lunation is six weeks where its beneficial to do intention or magical work. Since the Moon makes favorable aspects, it’s the perfect time to set goals, long-term objectives, and pursue your agenda.

Gemini is an air sign, so this is an auspicious time to do communication magic, including reopening the lines of communication with those whom you have lost touch. Spells can include written petitions, feathers, smoke, and incantations. Also, Gemini is great for business and commerce magic. Just keep in mind that Mercury is retrograde until June 3^rd. Hold off on signing documents or legal agreements until then.

Astrology Forecast for the Week of May 23, 2022 – May 29, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of May 23, 2022 through May 29, 2022 features a whopping six planetary aspects (Sun sextile Jupiter, Venus sextile Saturn, Mercury trine Pluto, Venus square Pluto, and Mars conjunct Jupiter). Additionally, Mars moves into Aries and Venus moves into Taurus.

The lead up to Memorial Day weekend will be busy, so let’s dive right in.

Cosmic Overview

This week both Mars and Venus change signs, and since they both move into signs that they rule, the areas of your chart ruled by Mars and Venus will get a giant cosmic boost. So, make sure you take advantage of this auspicious cycle and work on the areas of your chart that Mars and Venus rule.

On Tuesday, Mars enters Aries. Mars in Aries is determined to win, so it’s an excellent time to pursue your goals and achieve your objectives. It may be necessary that you keep other people in mind before taking action, just to ensure you don’t step on too many toes or ruffle any feathers. Just remember that you should work on goals you’ve had for a while, and not any new ones, because Mercury is still retrograde. After June 3^rd, you can create new goals and pursue new opportunities. Mars remains in Aries until July 4^th.

This weekend Venus moves out of Aries and into Taurus. Venus in Taurus is extremely sensual and enjoys the pleasures of life. This is an excellent time to redecorate, purchase luxury items (again after June 3^rd), and work towards making relationships more solid and secure. If you’ve been going through relationship struggles, now is the time to clean the slate and turn the page. Venus remains in Taurus until June 22^nd.
