July 12 – Pluto opposite Venus in Leo can initiate intense relationship drama around power, $$, desires and values, either via magnetic attractions, control issues, obsessions or breakthroughs, should you be seeking Self-awareness. Issues can arise that create power struggles – or greater intimacy (deeper truth).
Tread carefully and stay in integrity; manipulation and power plays create separation and trust issues, and they will come back to bite you. If you find yourself in discomfort over a Venus issue (desiring something or someone you don’t have) – you might want to explore what’s behind that, and it’s multi-layered. Venus in Leo has strong desires and wants what she wants! On a higher level, Venus-Pluto is the light of love that can raise the frequency to transform any circumstance.
July 15 – Sun square Chiron. The Sun invites you to evolve and Chiron invites you to heal, to feel any childhood issues or family matters that are calling for attention and to allow yourself the care you require. Take responsibility for the changes you need to make to soothe your heart and to let your light shine.
All weekend Mars is moving towards Uranus at 26o Taurus and you may feel the trigger that is emerging as Mars draws closer to Uranus (it will be exact on July 15), until it creates some kind of break, revolution, explosion, innovation – it can range from a physical expression in the world to a personal breakthrough in your life, but something will happen.
Mars is a warrior, while Uranus is sudden change and unpredictable – and together they are impulsive and volatile. However, they are in “no drama” Taurus that is slow, steady and fixed. It doesn’t like to be rushed and it doesn’t like change (unless it’s their idea). You may be caught off-guard in a shake up that propels you out of your comfort zone to some degree… and, as a result, you may feel destabilized or blow your stack, blurting out a truth in an unintended way.
This energy will continue through July 16, as the Scorpio Moon opposes Uranus and Mars, and events in the world will surely be reflecting this aspect as well. Watch the 3D show and keep your vibration high as you hold the Light during this precarious time of global transformation – and in your personal evolution.
One thing is certain – watch for a break wherever you feel a rut, trapped, stuck, dead, tired, lifeless – and see what shows up for you. No matter how it arrives – the shakeup is doing for you what you can’t or won’t do for yourself. And don’t anticipate anything with fear (low vibration – not helpful AT ALL). The universe is
conspiring for your Highest Good – and if you were able to take action on your own behalf, you would have done it.
July 17 – Mercury Retrograde enters its pre-Retrograde Shadow today, as it turns Retrograde from Aug 6-28. Everything that occurs from today on will be reviewed during the Retrograde period thru Sept 13 (the post-Retrograde Shadow).
July 18 – Sun sextile Uranus. You may be able to move through an issue you recognized earlier in the week (Sun square Chiron), pursuing a new solution that you hadn’t thought of before. Or maybe you are ready to explore an alternative personal style choice that you wouldn’t dare to before. This is about honoring your Authentic Self by trying things, whatever that means for you – physically, emotionally and spiritually. Find your tribe, be with your people for support!
Mercury trine Chiron. The ability to speak your truth to people who “get” you – where you feel heard and understood, where you fit in, where your thinking makes sense to others and theirs does to you – and you can freely share without fear of being judged or criticized. What a healing this is! Yes, yes, yes!
All in all, July 18 is a major healing day, when the invitation is to take a risk and Be Your Self! But don’t just do it indiscriminately – be judicious and choose wisely who to showcase new aspects of your Self with, especially if you’re going to be vulnerable by revealing parts of you that you’ve kept in hiding (if you’re the shy type). If you’re an extrovert, it’s not the same level of risk for you, assuming you’re with friendly people.
A positive welcome and reception is the ultimate gift! This is Cancer season – and that’s what you longed for as a child – to be well received, honored and appreciated. That’s what you can get now – but from your tribe. If you think this is hokey, then you really need it!
I’m sure there will be major world events this week, but I’m more focused on the personal opportunities that are available for you. If you experience any unexpected changes, focus on how they can benefit YOU. And it you need support, ask for it, find it – it is there for you.
Notice if you create drama by the way you look at the world, your life, the future and anything unplanned that you encounter. You’ll recognize drama if you go straight to panic, exaggeration, awfulizing (worst case scenario), overwhelm and telling the same negative story over and over, just to name a few things. (*I’m not speaking to trauma victims here).
The antidote for drama is faith – in life, and in trusting that you will be able to handle whatever comes your way. Yes you will!
This will be another powerful week. Make that your mission. For any challenges that arise, there is an opportunity, something is ready to be integrated within your consciousness – that’s why it’s been presented to you. When you stretch beyond your familiar world with curiosity, new possibilities will appear.
Love your Self, nourish your Self, allow yourself to receive the the love that’s available from others and All That Is. Love surrounds you. Don’t block your blessings with judgment, fear or resistance. Keep your heart soft and open. Trust the flow from the higher frequency of love – and don’t underestimate the revolution that’s happening within YOU!
