Week of July 5, 2022
Here is what to expect for the week ahead and an AuraArt print to illustrate the energies above and within us. Enjoy!
This week will remind you of the competitive step-sister archetype who provokes the protagonist on a subtle level while appearing graceful and charming to outsiders. But if there’s anything to learn from that archetype, it’s that subtle, strategic, and controlled moves always bring the protagonist out on top.
After passions hit higher octaves on Monday as Mars moves past the final shadow degree of Aries, Tuesday will bring the soothing emotional aloe vera we need to ease back into the swing of reality. Mars moves into Taurus where the warrior planet decides to lay down its weapons and dine in luxury. Mercury is also dipped in cream as it enters Cancer after traveling through punchy Gemini. Both of these planets have been in their home signs, accelerating the pace of nearly everything to an almost unbearable degree. If you need to catch your breath, here is your invitation.
Mercury in Cancer is likely to make you and everyone else a bit more sensitive and touchy. Don’t doubt what comes through your intuitive filter. Whatever you sense is trying to alert you or open your eyes to something. Tuesday evening will usher in a Libra Moon, and since Cancer and Libra energy create a pressure tunnel, the desire to make everyone around you happy could spiral you into unhinged action.
Tension around what to do and how to act will linger through Wednesday as the Libra Moon, Aries Jupiter, and Cancer Sun form a tight t-square. People will be quick to anger or lash out with emotion. On the contrary, this energy might have you walking on eggshells if you’re the type more sensitive to surrounding energies. It’s a good night to take an epsom salt bath, reground, and do whatever the hell you want. Romance will enter late in the night as the rosy Libra Moon connects with Gemini Venus, perfect for some pillow talk.
Thursday offers more upbeat and community-centric vibes as planets in air signs make a grand trine, a circuit of positive energy connecting each of them. It’s the perfect day to get ahead on writing, schedule meetings, and connect with others over shared ideas. Look at things from multiple viewpoints before you sign on to a decision. Wrap-up early because the Moon grows heavy and then unstable come dinner time on the East Coast.
Things might begin to combust around you Friday morning as the Moon moves into Scorpio, challenging Mars. Your ability to keep your cool and stay in your lane will come to favor you. You might have to face situations that mimic patterns you thought you were over with, thanks to the Sun in Cancer in square with Chiron, reminding us that we all have wounds that won’t ever truly go away, although we can heal them. Our scars become our badges of honor. Tactfully speaking your heart will go a long way, but taking things too far with inflammatory responses will backfire. Remember, the key to navigating Friday is to stay cool and notice everything.
An abundance of watery energy soaks the land on Saturday as the Scorpio Moon meets Mercury in Cancer and Neptune in Pisces. This is a wonderful time to carve out a few hours dedicated to strengthening your connection with the other side. Meditation takes repetition and consistency to deliver metaphysical strength, so use this energetic supplement to your benefit. Instead of sweating on frustrations that come your way, channel your higher self and see the whole situation from a bird’s eye view.
Happy, action-driven vibes will enter on Sunday as the Moon travels into jolly Sagittarius. If you’ve survived a hell of a week, today’s transits will give you a pleasant surprise that alters your trajectory if you’re open to receiving. Positive support from Jupiter in Aries sugar coats anything in your environment, but be careful not to act too quickly because Mars is not on your side. Holding onto the excitement you feel is enough for today without the need to dive into a decision. Tuesday the 12th will be the best time to decide.
Monday’s Sagittarius Moon will surely help you get out of bed with ease despite the grogginess of Mars in Taurus season. However, as the day moves along, boredom will likely set in, especially for those more prone to seeking excitement. As the Moon makes tough angles to Venus and Neptune, stagnancy in romantic relationships and business progress might make you daydream about other options. However, keep in mind that this probably isn't reflective of the truth. The grass is green where you water.
