July 21st to 27th, 2014

Monday: Taurus/Gemini Moon

The Moon starts in Taurus and moves to Gemini at 12:36 pm. Void of course time is 10:12 am to 12:36 and those hours are good for cleaning your desk, reading but not responding to emails and memos quite yet, and taking some down time if needed. The early hours are solid for final decisions as the Moon and Sun form a sextile in Taurus/Cancer at 10:12 am. Gemini Moon marks a multitasking time for the next couple of days. Network and combine friendly meetings, social plans, and business negotiations.  Gemini Moon aligns with Jupiter in Leo for events and festivities. Meet new people. Put names with faces. Respond to invitations with a yes! Today’s color is yellow.

Tuesday: Sun in Leo

Mercury is opposite Pluto today, and with Saturn now direct, serious decisions and conversations take place. Putting something to a rest, finishing tough processes and negotiations, and deciding once and for all can be the result. Face fears and old wounds and maybe this becomes a pivotal day or week.  The Moon is in Gemini for versatile problem solving and ability to adapt.  The Sun moves to Leo at 5:41 pm EDT and the height of summer begins. This is the 2nd of 3 phases of the season, and Leo birthdays begin. Tonight can be festive, full of surprises, and changes of mind or heart.  Wear gold.

Wednesday: Moon trine Mars

The Moon in Gemini is in harmony with Mars just as the warrior planet makes his last moves in Libra. It’s been an extended time for Mars in the sign of justice and partnership, and for many it has not been easy. Reaching consensus, mediating effectively, and finding fair outcomes is favored now. It’s also a good day or evening for social plans. The Moon is void of course from 8:53 pm to 10:59 pm EDT and moves to Cancer then. Today’s color is light blue.

Thursday: Sun conjunct Jupiter in Leo

This is an eventful day in the zodiac as the Sun meets Jupiter and Moon meets Venus. Relationships on the right track seem to benefit most! Engagements and marriages are well timed. This can extend to business partnerships solidifying too. Leo is much in favor and for Aquarius love and commitment is highlighted! Cancer and Capricorn are signs deeply impacted with positive vibes for love and relationship. In other areas of life, Saturn and Mercury are activating resolution. New information around important decisions and situations may come as a surprise. Something that seemed to go by it’s due date may come together unexpectedly. Everything is stirred up and all signs are impacted by today’s chart. Try not to rule anything out. During Cancer Moon, sometimes, the tendency is defensiveness. Know when to play offense or for the team instead. Can you protect your interests while expanding rather than closing doors? Today’s color is orange.

Friday: Cancer Moon, Mars in Scorpio

This day prior to Leo New Moon is set up by Moon trine Saturn and meeting Mercury. Finalizing, decisions, and continuations of this week’s serious matters and important priorities are likely. You may wait until Mars changes signs to make your move or commitment, and the New Moon time is good for change. However, today is still about setting the stage, finding the information and getting all in order.  Communicate clearly, discuss the topics pending or about to require action, and come to agreements.  Leo, you are on the cusp of one of the finest New Moons of the year and it’s in your sign. Make it count. Cancer, this is true for you in employment and money matters. You could use this time to make an investment or change roles at work. Scorpio, a bigger career move and public attention in the next few weeks is yours for the taking.  Libra, it may benefit you to make some new friends, change your social scene or start networking for what would benefit you. Friends can be helpful now. Taurus, a shift at home or with family is sparked at by Leo New Moon. Maybe you’re preparing for an August move or about to find the home you’re hoping for.  Cancer Moon today helps us check in with the heart as we make these decisions.  Today’s color is blue.

Saturday: New Moon in Leo

I've been priming clients for this New Moon for months and now it's here! A New Moon in a bright, creative sign with no significant planets retrograde for the first time in many months is something to celebrate and most importantly, maximize! The Moon moves to Leo at 10:55 am EDT & begins the lunar cycle, meeting the Sun exactly at 6:42 pm. Write down the things you want to accomplish before New Moon time and take action as soon as tonight! There is no time like the present & Jupiter, the benevolent, magnificent planet team up with the Leo Moon. It gets no better than this! Leo, what a wonderful early (or barely belated) birthday gift you receive from the universe this year! Growth, abundance & wisdom is yours! Leo weddings, businesses, new relationships and families are set to thrive! Aquarius, you enjoy similar benefits from across the zodiac and commitment, marriage, & strong business partnerships in your life thrive for 13 months! Point the compass right in that direction and the universe conspires to help you make it all happen! Libra, supportive friends and mentors appear, Sagittarius, your world opens up so much you may find yourself in another state or country teaching, getting a new degree or certification or doing business by next summer or much before. Your ruling planet in your house of exploration wants to take you places! Cancer and Scorpio are favored in business and employment. Capricorn, you could receive gifts, grants, family legacies or go into profitable business with a partner or family member. These possibilities are just beginning and this New Moon strongly activates, so even if it's a small step or contact you reach out to, do it soon while the Leo Moon is in most powerful mode! Today's color is white.

Sunday: Leo Moon

Uranus and Saturn are throwing signals the New Moon's way. Very different tactics and influences present with each planet. Uranus is retrograde and not in his power, yet a curve ball weakly tossed may confuse things today. Be non reactive rather than cause a stir since a bit of news may turn out to be less important or potent that it initially sounds. Wait that out. Saturn is square the Moon and direct, so finally progress can come. Put effort into a situation that's been stubborn and may relate to health, family-especially elders, or intimacy. Prime for breakthroughs, Saturn is now in a better position for dealing with the important and serious matters of life. That influence may be at work tomorrow too. The Moon is void of course from 8:37 pm EDT to 11:37 pm Monday night. Heads up for a Monday business day that may not be as productive as you hope. Personal matters will be priority. Today's color is purple.

Weekly Astrology June 24th to June 30th, 2013

 Monday: Capricorn Moon opposes Mercury & Venus

Significant movements and events in the zodiac stack up this week. Today we're still in the Full Moon zone, and the Capricorn Moon, one of authority figures and our elders, opposes Mercury and Venus. Points of contention & matters for debate need to be prioritized and confronted.  Decisions that have been impending can wait no longer and you may feel pressured to give a final answer.  The elders in the family, the matriarchs and patriarchs are likely to be in focus or playing a major role in our lives. Bosses and managers may also be putting on the heat or feeling it themselves and like the domino effect, everyone is impacted.  Do try to reach agreements today while keeping Mercury's role in mind. The planet will retrace today's path just days ahead and you may change your mind and your perspective, particularly in Cancer ruled family matters.  Agreeing to something temporary and reviewing it in a month is most advisable.  Take care of the body, of medical conditions and things you think should be checked out too.  Tonight, settle something, find peace with someone and realize we can't all see the world the same way. Find a way to coexist where everyone is agreeable and things can be managed. Even where the emotional connection is fragile or approaches are drastically different, the Capricorn Moon helps us live practically. The Moon is void of course from 10:24 pm until 3:27 am. Today's color is green.

Tuesday: Aquarius Moon

The Moon is waning in Aquarius square to Saturn. Today has a strong persistent or stubborn streak.  You can use this to advantage if you know it's worth it to stand up for what you believe. Also though, it will be difficult to get someone to change their mind or compromise ideals.  Pick your battles and discussions carefully and make sure it's worth it.  The Moon and Uranus add a very inventive, unusual flair to the day. Brand new ideas grab our attention. Work with brainstorming and weed out to find the best stuff! There's a combination of discriminating and open minded energy that makes for a unique outlook today.  Be open to the new. Commit only with your own terms since Mercury retrograde is about to begin and old information and previous relationships and business may come into play in the days ahead. Have vision while remaining patient and willing to see how things develop.  Jupiter moves to Cancer for a year long stay.  Jupiter in Cancer is nurturing and good for gestating new things, from ideas to babies! This is an exalted and fertile spot for the planet of worldly travels and wisdom. It calls us "home" and adds to feelings of patriotism, knowledge and growth in the area of food, and likely boosts the real estate market in the year ahead.  Today's color is turquoise.

Wednesday: Sun trines and Mercury retrograde

The Sun trines Saturn and Neptune. This grand trine has been active already and today we have a peak! In the water signs, this prompts great creativity and helps us give structure to things that could remain nebulous otherwise.  Music, the arts, domestic arts like cooking and gardening are some of the favored areas.  There's also a spiritual current running strong with Neptune in Pisces and we may see this in the form of focus on religion, meditation, yoga, and other metaphysical or spiritual interests.  It's an interesting time with Mercury also beginning the retrograde in Cancer, drawing us inward, activating intuition, memories, dreams, and the subconscious for weeks ahead.  Mercury retrograde is official at 9:08 am. This is a good day to find calm, hide away a bit, do some soul searching, or have a heart to heart talk as long as it's not going to trigger old issues. It's not a good time to make a big, final decision, argue needlessly, travel on a tight schedule, or engage in a very important business transaction.  The forward thinking Aquarius Moon and Mars in Gemini are full of ideas and plans, but the Mercury slowdown is on. Take the weeks from now to the 20th lightly. Take a vacation. Carefully sort through old things you may get rid of and attend to emotional business that's unfinished with an open mind and no one set expectation. Today's color is blue.

Thursday: Moon in Pisces, Venus in Leo, Mercury retrograde in Cancer

This eventful week in the zodiac continues as Venus, planet of love and harmony, moves to expressive and outgoing Leo. It's a beautiful placement for Leos, Aquarius in love and partnership, people who perform and teach, Scorpios who need a career boost, and anyone taking vacation time. Venus in Leo loves leisure, beautiful environments, great arts and performance events, and the sunshine.  The Moon moves to Pisces at 4:32 am, harmonizes with Saturn, the Sun and meets Neptune. All that is spiritual, emotional, metaphysical and water related is enhanced, exaggerated, and draws us in.  Intuition will be very strong! Find what inspires and calls to you. Work with your creative muse. It's almost unfortunate if you have important business type work to do unless it's in a creative field. Financial, sales and marketing may experience hold ups and delays and perhaps for good reason when all is said and done late in July. Patience is important right now and impulsiveness is the enemy unless it's all in fun.  Wear pink.

Friday: Pisces Moon

It's a good day to mellow out if possible. Pisces Moon always loves a relaxed day to do personal things or pursue creative pastimes or work and today even more so since Mercury is retrograde in Cancer.  The Moon and Mercury line up today for reconnections and people suddenly often unexpectedly pop back into our lives.  See who you run into this weekend if it hasn't already happened in the past few days. Virgo and Pisces experience this in friendship and love while Aries and Taurus may be more likely to reunite with family.  For all, going back to childhood and past places we've enjoyed is likely.  Water sports, fishing and boating are ruled by this Pisces, Cancer alignment.  Mars reminds us to do some mental work and today we may be distracted or multitasking if that's the case. The past comes back in many ways. Relax and stay organized with time and things you need to keep track of when the Moon is void of course 8:16 pm on. Today's color is green.

Saturday: Aries Moon

The Aries Moon moves in at 9:07 am and squares Jupiter in Cancer bringing up home and family matters for practical problem solving. Try to keep things simple and not overly emotional today. Charging something with anxiety will make it much harder to handle properly. Remember to use words and actions wisely since Mercury retrograde can create lots of misunderstanding.  Be clear and up front with communications and make sure you've been understood and not misquoted or represented. It's an active, energetic day with the Aries Moon in harmony with Venus in Leo for adventures and fire and air sign relationships are favored.  Leo, you're in your element this time of summer (early this year!) and your enthusiasm can be contagious. Sagittarius, Aries, and Libra easily become part of this party. Aquarius, enjoy relationship time and do something together though if you're single, love and friendship may be forming too!  Games will be fun and competitive. As always with Aries Moon, do keep safety in mind.  Wear red.

Sunday: Aries Moon conjunct Uranus

This may be more challenging that we'd like a Sunday to be as the Aries Moon and Uranus do their monthly work, stirring up controversy, creating excitement at best, and creating the conditions for "incidents" too. Be extra mindful and cautious today. Avoid impulsiveness and anything you don't really need to do or say at this particular time.  The Moon is also square to Sun in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn and this action in the cardinal signs often indicates power struggles and with the Sun in Cancer, emotional waters that aren't easy to sail. Negotiate carefully.  Pluto always gives a reality check sometimes with information that's been hidden or suppressed and this could relate back to the Full Moon just a few days ago. Today some will ask, "how many times do I have to deal with this?" and the answer is "Until you get it right." Mercury is retrograde so use words very wisely and consider carefully the agreements you make. Today's color is black.

Monday: Mercury in Cancer

The Moon is in Aries and waning so it's a time of releasing and clearing. Clean out what you don't need anymore.  Mercury is active today, forming easy angles with Neptune in Pisces and Saturn in Scorpio.  Business with an emotional tone is activated. For example, family business, issues related to the elderly in our families, and work if we're emotionally attached to it.  It's a good day to get things in writing, document, and express our true feelings in conversation or in writing. The Moon and Uranus meet making it also another days of news and plans that need to be altered as a result.  Tonight, work on organizing and dealing with personal or work related business. Family dinner is also a great option.  Wear blue.

Tuesday: Taurus Moon

The Aries Moon is void of course from 2:09 am to 11:53 am EST. The Moon aligns with Jupiter in Gemini setting us up for success. Get up with a motivated, confident attitude and don't procrastinate! Seize the day on a personal level too as the Moon also works with Venus in Cancer.  It's a great day to work out a permanent plan you're willing to put the effort into.  It's also a good time for commitment in relationship or to a family member.  Taurus Moon values loyalty and security and the Cancer planets keep heart in our decisions and both lean away from impulsive decisions. Act on what's been long considered. Do some final soul searching or ask advice from well trusted friends and allies, then go forward.  Neptune in Pisces adds a creative element to our plans and methods today.  Tonight the Moon opposite Saturn indicates intense negotiations.  If you're willing to yield or compromise enough you can put a long term plan in place now.  The weight of the world is with Saturn in Scorpio so try to lighten up a little and see how to get things done rather than stay convinced you're stuck.  Today's color is green.

Wednesday: Void of Course Moon

The void of course Moon in Taurus begins at 9:25 am EST, and the tone is set early by Mercury and Pluto in harmony from Cancer and Capricorn. Go about business as usual as long as the planning has been done. It's a good day to carry things out when the big decisions have already been made before 9:25 am.  Avoid changing plans or methods without good reason since the void Moon could set judgement off a bit, temporarily.  Stick with the plan, let go of habits and patterns that don't work anymore.  This is the rethinking phase before the New Moon on Saturday.  Line things up for launches and new starts or restarts early next week or this weekend.  Find your sense of accomplishment, talk through anything complex. Simplify and follow through today and tonight. The void Moon lasts all through tomorrow until 11:32 pm and being organized and working from lists and instructions will help keep focus during this time. Wear yellow.

Thursday: Taurus Moon Void of Course

The Moon remains in Taurus until 11:32 pm EST. Stay the course today! Whatever you've decided, moved into, attempted a transition to, or are trying to quit, hold fast to your plan and stay strong with it. The void of course Moon is good for routine, simple work or pleasures, and above all, not letting things distract or divert you from what you set your mind to.  Work through a to do list, keep spending simple, save receipts and duplicate things that could get misplaced.  Outdoor work and hands on building and creating are favored.  It's good to have some relaxation time or a light schedule today.  Tomorrow is very busy in the zodiac and if you suspect that applies to you, plan for it.  Today's color is pink.

Friday: Mercury opposes Pluto, Mars trine Neptune

It's an active day in the zodiac, Venus engages with Neptune and Saturn which might seem a bit extreme in relationships matters. It's a mood swing between these two trines, one about limits and boundaries and the other romantic and charming.  We get a bit of both in personal relationships today.  Be realistic either way since rose colored pictures that aren't real can lead to disappointment. Try to see things at face value and not make them bigger, better or different in your mind's eye.  Mercury opposes Pluto and Mars squares Neptune, and it's very important not to be misled or mislead.  Know exactly the terms you are agreeing to if you're entering a partnership or contract.  Today is full of mixed messages and we may feel that way. The New Moon tomorrow is a time of fresh starts. Gather information and be observant as well as curious today. Ask some questions to inform your next move.  Tonight is about reconsidering and also gathering with people who share your interests.  The Moon is in Gemini. Today's color is blue.

Saturday: New Moon in Gemini

The New Moon in Gemini vibrates with some of last month's eclipse effects.  Making decisions and changes now based on what happened then is likely.  Gemini is the storyteller, thinker and networker in the zodiac. Communicate and express ideas and plans.  The New Moon arrives at 11:56 am EST and launches are timed well and news will be unfolding.  Announcements you didn't expect to make quite yet or receive at this time may come!  Gemini is a sign of movement and things start happening fast.  Explore a new option. For Taurus this could be in business or in regard to a purchase while with Gemini changes are very individual and personal.  Sagittarius sees relationship a new way or moves more into one, and Aquarius is the social butterfly benefiting professionally and in friendship and relationship as well.  Mercury square to Uranus has an element of surprise.  We may be asked for answers or to decide something quickly.  Today's color is white.

Sunday: Cancer Moon

The Moon is void of course in Gemini from 4:29 am to 12:19 pm EST.  The Moon meets Jupiter first thing and the planet of wisdom, opportunity and joy is at play today.  The morning is suited to gatherings and things done on a whim.  Those hours are not well timed for business or promises.  People may forget or run late. The Cancer Moon aligns with Neptune and Saturn today. Those two planets have radically different influences, for example Saturn urges follow though on obligations and doing the responsible thing especially where family is involved.  Neptune fuels the imagination and romance. Go with the one that best matches your plans. Ask for advice from an older family member if you're sorting out New Moon news and deciding which course to follow.  Today's color is light blue.
