Monday – July 22, 2019
This morning a lunar cycle ends in Pisces and begins anew in the sign of Aries at 6:03 AM EDT. We feel rejuvenated and ready for a fresh start at something exciting. Energy is fired up and we’re ready to take action through bold moves, and leadership. This lunation favors physical activity more than anything. The tendency to act impulsively during this time is high, as there is also restless energy in the air at this time. Tonight, The Sun will enter its sign of Leo at 10:50 PM EDT, officially marking the start of #LeoSeason. The Sun in Leo is strong, confident, and magnetic. During this period we can gain a new sense of self-awareness and determination. Generosity is a positive feature of this transit; we open our hearts to others and find others doing the same for us. Many of us will be feeling playful, more expressive than usual, and suddenly creative. Now is a good time to follow your heart and go for yours. The Leo energy makes us ambitious, enterprising and bold. Utilize the friendly energy in the air to network and meet new people. Be sure to get out as much as you can, especially while the Sun is still out. Work hard, but make room for playtime. Have fun! If you’re working on a new look or a makeover, wait until the retrograde is over on the 31st before making any changes – that includes your hair! The worst thing to be aware of and to watch out for right now is your ego and that of others. The worship of vanity will be off-putting to others and arrogance will be at an all-time high. A LOT of showing off and bragging comes from the lower spectrum of the Sun in Leo. Self-assurance is a trademark of Leonine energy, but make sure that confidence is genuine and that you are not wearing a mask to cover up something unattractive underneath.

The Moon is in full effect all day in the sign of Aries the warrior. In the morning we are ready to take on the world. We have the energy and the courage to go after what we’ve set our sights on. A trine with Mars this morning brings a positive attitude along with courage. Your enthusiasm can be infectious to others who admire your optimism and ambition. Stand up for yourself and your principles. This aspect can make us assertive, but not too forecul. Don’t shy away from taking a stand to get your point across, you will be respected more for your honesty. In the afternoon, things may start to heat up and get more intense when the moon forms a square to Saturn at 2:30 PM EDT. There can be a disconnect during these hours, you might feel a need to work independently or avoid social interaction. If by chance you’re involved in a project with others, start it in the first half of the morning. Moods may dive this afternoon and evening, but don’t get into a rut or back into one. If you feel your spirit getting low, then do something immediately to pick it up Accept that these are merely tides that come and go and you will be fine. Keep your spirits up by being kind to others today (and everyday after that). You can witness your kindness goes a long way and have plenty of it returned back to you. Starting things will be easier than finishing them throughout the day. Keep your eye on the prize to get it done.
Wednesday – July 24, 2019
The Moon finishes its transit of action-oriented Aries today and enters the sign of Taurus the Bull this evening at 5:44 PM EDT. When the Moon is in Taurus, we focus more on our security and stability. We resist changes and we become less adaptable to the changes around us. Today’s energy is high, but concentration just isn’t. This morning may find us irritable and moody. A busy schedule could interfere with something you’re trying to launch. Disagreements can arise due to our hastiness to respond to a situation without fully considering the feelings of another. You might find it difficult to concentrate on tasks and responsibilities due to a need to get out and have fun. This could have an affect on your relationship and stir up conflict. Some quality time and intimacy can make the tension disappear. Moods lift up tonight when Mercury, still in retrograde, makes a conjunction to Venus at 8:25 PM. Love is in the air and it can be easily expressed tonight. You may feel compelled to show your affection through a gift, a visit, a letter, a date or be on the receiving end of it. Conversations with new people you meet can become meaningful friendships. Don’t be shy, slide into a dm and shoot your shot. What have you got to lose? With Mercury in retrograde, old feelings might resurface about things you used to enjoy. Don’t get stuck in the past, instead start planning on how you will bring the pleasure and excitement back into your life.
Thursday – July 25, 2019
This morning Mars and Jupiter partner up in a trine and stirs up a spirit of eagerness to make our way. It’s a perfect time to spend contemplating your next move as whatever you pursue now has a greater chance of success. Our minds are sharp, and energy is high giving us a boost in confidence and hope for the future. Our drive is ambitious under this transit and we can find extra luck out of nowhere coming to us. The Universe is bestowing upon us a blessing for the past few months we’ve endured under this retrograde season – a fog is lifting. Real talk, winning now requires some action on your part also. Plan ahead at the moment and keep a positive outlook about it. When overwhelment or overthinking starts to kill the vibe, get up and use that energy towards something physical. I don’t mean anything violent that can get you arrested though, keep that in mind. In believing in yourself, doors will open for you. Be bold. Be open. Trust in others and your instincts. Remember there are retrogrades in motion and it’s best to plan ahead before jumping in the waters. The need to break free is strong in many of us under this aspect, try not to get ahead of yourself with the self-determination as there is a likelihood of arrogance and self-importance that can take over us as well. The Moon is in Taurus all day and challenges Mars this evening in a square. Keep tempers in check, feet planted and eyes on the prize. Interactions might escalate to an extent of causing pain to someone else. We can diffuse or prevent this by not taking things so personal. Someone could be making an attempt to open up to you, don’t get offended – keep your ego in check.
Friday – July 26, 2019
The Moon is in Taurus today, highlighting our desire to feel comfortable and secure. This
morning we find it easy to express our feelings. We’re perceptive to the sensitivity in others and could feel the energy surrounding us very intensely. Yesterday’s transits may have left us feeling optimistic for the future. Today, we are aware of the power within us and we can tap into that power to push past any obstacle that may stand in our way. Around midday, we might start to feel lethargic and distracted. Take a break at this time and enjoy an activity that will provide an escape for just a moment and then get back to business. This evening provides a chance for clear thinking and open communication. New relationships can develop from information being shared. On the flipside, others might come to you for information or support. Social interaction will be buzzing this evening to where we can get to the bottom of things and solve many problems. As today will be a day of extreme emotional reactions, be on the lookout for emotional outbursts and frustrations. Mars makes a quincunx with Saturn tonight around 10:25 PM EDT, this may create some problems that can slow us down through delays or problems with authority. This aspect does not favor any demanding work that requires concentration. Best to do your most important as early as possible and spend the rest of the evening catching up with unfinished projects you’ve already started.
Saturday – July 27, 2019
Early this morning in the wee hours, the Moon entered the sign of Gemini around 2:30 AM EDT. Under this transit attention spans can be low, so it’s best that we focus on our important tasks for short periods at a time. We would much rather be out socializing and having conversations with new people we can learn from and exchange ideas with. It’s a good time to reach out to old friends and catch up in each other’s lives. Even though we may be feeling communicative, we may not necessarily feel compelled to carry on these interactions for too long. This afternoon, opportunities can arise if we open up to them being possible. We are given a chance to fix areas in our lives without any interruption or setback from the Universe. We can repair our relationships and they have a chance to grow now through stronger emotional expressions. Also occurring today, Venus enters the sign of Leo tonight at 9:54 PM EDT. When Venus is in Leo, we are in love with the world around us, and we can find love to give to ourselves. We’re feeling an extra dose of generosity and appreciation towards people we love. Passion heats up in romantic relationships, and single people have a greater chance at receiving an invitation to go on a date, or four. Pride and ego are involved in most matters at this time and it’s important to remember the Golden Rule when dealing with others. Remember to do unto others as you would have them do to you.
Sunday – July 28, 2019
This morning finds us ready and willing to take on tasks without a second thought about the outcome. We may be prone to impulsivity today, nonetheless, resulting in positive and successful outcomes. We can apply ourselves passionately to the things we need to do today. You may attract someone who is really digging a special quality in you that they’ve been seeking in common with them. Romantic partners could feel the spark come alive between them. We can be all in our feels by the afternoon, possibly not seeing things as they really are. We can be low-key in denial about something, and dishonesty won’t get us far today. It’s not the best day to subscribe to “signs” or superstitions of any kind. Seeing is believing. Slow things down and pay attention to your emotions. Be honest about them, it’s highly recommended that you open up to others and not keep your emotions bottled up. If help is needed, reach out and ask for it.
We are capable of lending each other support and helping out those in need today. By tonight we’re feeling the love and light in the atmosphere as the Sun and Chiron form a trine. We can find ourselves reviewing our mission in the world. How are you contributing to the restoration of humanity and the collective consciousness? Give that some thought. The Moon is in restless Gemini all day today. The Moon in Gemini favors analytical mental activity, makes us good-humored, sociable and communicative. The downside is it also had the effect of making us scatterbrained and moody.
The Moon goes void-of course from 11:24 AM EDT until tomorrow morning when it goes into the sign of Cancer at 7:30 AM EDT. Do all things in moderation during this time.

PLANETARY POSITIONS THIS WEEK
SUN IN LEO (July 22 – August 23)
It’s your time to shine! In Leo, the Sun is lively, friendly, bold, and proud. The Leo Sun makes us energetically convincing. We are prone to taking control of events and people through our display of eagerness and devotion. It’s a wonderful time to lay the groundwork and chase your dreams. We become more charitable and helpful during this time. On top of wanting to shine, we also want to see that others win. Under this Leo Sun energy we seek love that is genuine and real. We should also avoid combativeness, trying to dominate others, being too demanding, and threatening to get what we want.
MERCURY IN CANCER (July 19 – August 11)
VENUS IN CANCER (July 3 – July 27)
VENUS IN LEO (July 27 – August 21)

CHIRON IN ARIES
NORTH NODE IN CANCER
What I work with: In creating these forecasts, I integrate major aspects formed between the moon and the other planets, aspects made to transiting Chiron, and pattern aspects. Throughout the day the Moon can make so many different aspects due to how fast it moves. Moon transits affect our emotions on a global scale and will normally last for up to four hours, with the exception of a major lunar event such as an eclipse, new moon or a full moon. Therefore, I generally focus on the aspects being made to the Moon over all. An emphasis is made when another planet aspects another besides the Moon. Planets used are: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Chiron.
