Week of July 12, 2022

Here is what to expect for the week ahead and an AuraArt print to illustrate the energies above and within us. Enjoy!

AuraArt for the week of July 12, 2022! You can get one of these for yourself or someone you love HERE! (they make great gifts, and graduation and wedding season is among us!)

This week will feel like the elevator has reach the top floor and it’s time to walk out and see everything in 360° view. You look above, below, and side to side, and see every little particle it took to get you to this moment, this view.

You did it, my friend. 

Bright eyed and bushy tailed is the nearly-full Capricorn Moon on Tuesday morning, greeting the East Coasters at 5:00am! Watch out because everything is moving full speed ahead as the Moon pairs up with Mars in Taurus. Once you get started, it’ll be a challenge to pull away–– unless there’s quality snacks within reach. Get ready to grind all day and crash into something you love that never keeps you guessing. Whether it’s your long term lover’s arms or old faithful PJ’s reliable and worn-in is best as Venus meets Saturn this evening. We’ll be soaking up the power rays of the Full Moon all day and it’s only getting stronger from here. 

This is the one, people!! Back in January, I said this year more people are going to manifest their New Year’s resolutions than years before. This is due to the New Year falling within a couple days of the New Moon. Although it’s asinine to me that we begin a new year in the dead of Saturn season when we haven’t shaved our legs in weeks and motivation is scarce, this one actually delivered the opportunity to plant seeds. Pairing with the natural cycles of the planets makes it a lot easier to manifest than just saying “I’m going to workout more” every December 31st. So here we are. According to my six-month manifestation rule, we have arrived at the point where the goals we set (or resolutions) at the start of January are coming together now. 

Wednesday’s Full Moon in Capricorn is going to be ripe with ah-ha and ooh-la-la moments. The former coming from the practical and caring combo of Mercury in Cancer teaming up with Uranus in Taurus and the latter originating from Venus in Gemini in a tough square to Neptune. The thing about Venus and Neptune together is that they’re the toxic couple you love to watch combust. They love to be together and they have so much sticky sweet fun together, but it’s only from the outside that you see it’s a train wreck waiting to happen. While Full Moons deliver clarity, it’s up to use to decide what is fact and what is feeling. The rest of the week will help us get to the root. 

We’ll begin to see clearly on Thursday, but probably not until later in the day when the Moon connects favorably with Jupiter in Aries, offering a boost of energy we’ll likely need after a groggy morning thanks to the Moon and Mars battling it out. Go for that afternoon cup of joe and if that’s not your thing, Jupiter will deliver right on time. Lean into the objectivity that Aquarius energy offers today and through Friday.

It won’t be a predictable Friday morning, so go ahead and ditch your plans in favor of something more flexible since Uranus is queen. Things will shift just for the sake of it so you’d better be ready to roll with the punches. If Wednesday had you sipping love potion number nine, you’ll be awoken from your slumber rather rudely on Friday afternoon as Venus makes an ugly angle to Pluto. I must say, I only use the term “ugly angle” when referring to a quincunx or an inconjunction. It means the planets have zilch in common and it’s hard to find common ground. Some astrologers don’t even look at these, but how could you ignore the very thing that makes life the most challenging? As I digress, you’ll be happy to note that the Aquarius Moon comes to save Venus in the evening as they make a beautiful air trine. You can think your way out of any issue with this energy on your side. 

Saturday’s Pisces Moon will deliver the dose of feeling you need to integrate everything that has happened for you this week. Luckily, the annual conjunction of the Sun and Mercury will offer you the true clarity you’ve been looking for since Tuesday. You won’t have any trouble articulating what you think, feel, and need from others as these planets come together. This energy is overall nice with help from Mars in Taurus, so it’s a great time to call a truce, but make sure you mean what you commit to since Venus is at the shadow degree of Gemini causing flakiness. 

Sunday is quite ethereal, so feel free to blast off from this planet if you just can’t take it anymore. The Pisces Moon is enough on it’s own to make you want to get cozy and lose your phone, but Mercury and the Sun are in Cancer, another water sign, making a nice trine to Pisces, dripping hazy Neptunian glitter bubbles over our logical lenses and wiping the window to other dimensions. Use this opportunity to get your creativity flowing because there won’t be as much negative talk in the back of your mind trying to get you to focus on Mercurial tasks. If that’s not enough water to keep you hydrated for a week, the evening delivers the Moon joining Neptune while Venus moves to Cancer. It’s so sweet my jaw hurts. Luckily, the sleuthy energy of Mercury and Pluto in opposition will help you see things at face-value. 

Monday marks a true new beginning after the awakening of the Full Moon. The Moon enters the first sign, Aries, helping you put one foot in front of the others to get to work on whatever action is needed based on what you uncovered over the last few days. You might even get lucky with help from Jupiter, but take caution that this energy can spin out of control pretty quickly if you don’t have a tight grip.

Love & Stardust, a brand new podcast about Love, Stars, and Tarot cards is coming soon! I am partnering with my dear friend Haifa Barbari, strategist, traveling Londoner, and lover of love to bring you something very special later this month!

I met Haifa on a rooftop in Mexico City and we quickly learned that we had a lot in common and shared a vision to make love a lifestyle. Tarot has been a tradition in Haifa’s family for several generations (she’s extremely gifted, y’all, like super psychic––more on that later). 

Every two weeks we will drop a new episode that dives into the dynamics of popular celebrity relationships and how we can learn from them, as well as answer your love questions, and the tarot and astrology for the two weeks ahead. No matter your relationship status, you’ll have something to gain because when you stop and notice, love is in everything around you!
