You may sense your inner world quietly reorganizing this week as Uranus, Neptune and Pluto form a rare, harmonious alignment in the cosmic field. These outer planets drive profound cultural shifts, activating consciousness and demanding new ways of thinking, being and relating.
This fertile energy invites courageous steps toward more authentic self-expression, creative innovation and heart-centered leadership as it awakens us to new possibilities. It is important to make conscious choices to create the life you desire, as well as the world you want to live in. You are part of the transition team from the old world into a new era — otherwise, you wouldn’t be here now.
With all that’s beyond our control these days, let me remind you: You determine your experience based on your perspective, decisions and actions. My focus this week is helping you find productive ways to align with these planetary energies.
Venus and the New Moon in Cancer speak to quality of life issues: relationships, your value, family, emotional needs and feelings. Security, comfort, beauty. The elements that feed your spirit and enhance your well-being.
Here’s the breakdown:
July 10 – Venus conjunct South Node in Virgo
Venus-S. Node can bring up old relationships, in real life or in your memory. You may relive your life by reviewing old relationships, values and beliefs that helped to shape who you’ve become.
Don’t fear the South Node, as it can illuminate what needs attention for your awareness. This can bring up old patterns around self-worth, relationships or money that need new insights and care. You can awaken from denial and recognize non-working patterns around love, Self-worth, relationships and money. You may be ready to deal with perfectionism, over-giving, people-pleasing or the need to fix others at your own expense.
If these patterns come to awareness, commit to getting the care you need with loving support. Find the help that can help you (you’re good at this) — and begin with a sincere intention to receive and allow love IN, so you can be of service from a place of wholeness.
What if this is your real work that will lead to bigger and better things, for you and others? I totally believe that your wounds and issues are the path to your purpose when you take responsibility for healing what’s out of alignment. It’s an amazing, wondrous path as your deficiencies become your areas of wisdom and strength. It becomes more subtle as you grow, but awakening never ends if you’re interested.
July 10 – Venus trine Chiron
You can soothe, heal, integrate and transcend issues that once broke your heart, shut you down, made you feel unworthy of receiving love and care, or that created barriers to love and compassion. There’s a sacred innocence in this energy that is so safe, open and warm, it can touch even the most reticent, protected heart given the right circumstance. What a gift.
Notice any beliefs that keep you in defended, knowing that fear and judgment blocks the flow of love. With good judgment, intuition and boundaries, you are safe. Chiron in Taurus asks you to take good care of your body and Venus in Virgo facilitate the correct routines, rituals and habits to do it.
How you value your Self is the basis for how you engage in relationships, so if you want to shift your relationships, start by taking impeccable care of your Self. It all begins with You.
You can be the embodiment of Venus in Chiron by sending love and compassion to everyone you encounter and to the collective, but don’t neglect yourself while you devote your Self to the Greater Good, as that will be counterproductive.
July 12 – Mercury Cazimi the Sun
With the Sun-Mercury in Cancer, this is the midpoint of the HYPERLINK “https://www.soullevelsolutions.com/free-mercrx-report-signup/”Mercury Retrograde cycle that invites you to reexamine your relationship with your home (literal and figurative), family and personal life. Cancer rules the past, and you may find yourself reminiscing about the good old days or you may be appreciating how far you’ve come.
As Mercury sits in the heart of the Sun, the mind is illuminated, and what has been uncertain may suddenly make sense. Watch for insights, wisdom, epiphanies or unexpected realizations that bring clarity to confusion, as well as synchronicities that serve your future.
Create sacred space to meditate, journal or utilize spiritual practices that can facilitate messages that will evolve your consciousness. There is unlimited potential for what you can access when Mercury is in the heart of the Sun, accessing its light and its wisdom.
We have three Venus aspects that will affect your value, $$ and relationships, a few hours apart.
July 13 – Venus trine Uranus.
Something is ripe for change or liberation. Maybe it’s You. This can be a disruption ($$, love, a relationship, creativity, style) or a sudden break initiated by you or another. If you’ve been tolerating something, you may reach a breaking point or a shakeup is needed to inject some lifeforce energy into a stagnant area or comfort zone.
I suggest that You be proactive whenever possible, by taking action and going for what you want. If you are at the effect of a change, be adaptable and look for opportunities.
You may not know why something is happening in the moment, but the shift is leading you to somewhere new, and more will definitely be revealed…
July 13 – Venus, Neptune, Pluto in a Yod
Venus is at the apex of this aspect with Neptune and Pluto, creating a Yod (Finger of God), requiring an adjustment. This speaks to issues around dreams, illusions (Neptune) and transformation, power (Pluto) that is filtered through the heart, Self-worth, $$, relationships and/or love.
You may have idealized a person, place or thing and given your power away — or you may have been manipulated into following someone else’s dream.
Take back your power and recover your dreams. Or wake up from the illusion and step into your power. Feel into what this can mean for You.
July 14 – New Moon in Cancer @ 2:44am PDT
This New Moon in its home sign of Cancer initiates a deeply introspective new beginning, as the focus is on emotional safety, the nervous system, your roots, and what it means to feel nourished. Due to Mercury Retrograde beside the New Moon, this is an invitation to reflect on your history and any cleanup or clearing that will help you prepare for your future.
The Power of Care
Appreciate the gentleness of Cancer energy, the feeling of emotional safety and connecting from the heart. Care. This is what Cancer is all about and in its purest form, it’s a powerful healing. It’s where you feel at home, where you feel embraced and welcomed.
Think about where you feel cared for and who cares about you. I think this is a missing piece for many people. I just heard a story about prisoners who were each given a stray cat to care for and how it changed the prison population in profound ways. But of course, as care is love in action.
With Mercury Retrograde conjunct the New Moon in Cancer, ancestral patterns are ripe for retrospect, inviting you to rewrite and release any lingering inherited family dynamics that are not aligned with your Being. This is profound work should you be drawn to do it, as you can break the chain of limitations or suffering in your consciousness to honor your ancestors and for all those who follow you.
At this New Moon focus on what you want to call into your life and take an action towards your intentions for going forward. Allow yourself to receive impeccable care. Nurture yourself by attuning to your needs. Surround yourself with warmth and connection. It will raise your vibration. Share a meal with someone you enjoy. Play with children, enjoy your family and friends who are like family. Cocoon in your cozy nest. Whatever makes you feel good from the inside out. Take good care of your heart.
This week is fertile ground for discovery, self-care and the gentle contemplation required to reorganize from the inside out. Forward movement won’t come through force, it will emerge via alignment that’s borne from the space to realign your inner world as needed.
Use this potent energy to rest, listen to the still, small voice within and design your path forward with love, care and intention.
As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.
