This week’s astrology forecast:

July 20th – 26th    

 Message for the week:

This week’s astrology starts with the most potent and powerful astrology of the year with the planets in a rare, as in in never seen before, “cradle” or “basket” configuration, with all the outer planets and Jupiter at the same degree (4 degrees) of their sign (see chart above). This energy has been building and comes to a crescendo with Jupiter opposite Pluto as the week begins. This pits two of the most powerful planets directly against each other. Jupiter the ruler of the upper world and Pluto the ruler of the underworld, in a head-to-head clash. High-minded and noble Jupiter strives for goals that benefit everyone, while Pluto seeks power and control and is willing to use any means to get what it wants. Who will win in this epic battle of good and evil? Likely both.  

 Those of a greedy nature, seeking greater power, wealth, and control, will likely feel their ambitions amplified. However, this configuration is also particularly fertile for those interested in consciousness. Notice in the chart above the blue lines and green lines extending from both ends of the opposition. These are sextiles and trines to Uranus and Neptune, which are called “mediating planets” and reveal creative resolutions to conflicts from the opposition. I like to think there is always a high road available for every aspect and these sextiles and trines this week make the high road absolutely accessible—intuition (Uranus) and inspired vision (Neptune) point the way.

The Sun moves into Leo on Wednesday, joining Jupiter for a month to get your glow on, let your light shine, and have some summer fun!

Monday: Big energy day with Jupiter opposite Pluto and trine to Neptune, fueling huge, inspired ambition. The Moon is in harmony-seeking Libra with a square to Mercury, which may require some negotiation to keep the peace in the early morning. A peaceful day ensues, with no other aspects throughout the day.

Tuesday: You should be rubbing your hands together with glee today with Jupiter sextile to Uranus, bringing unexpected luck and tickling the sense of discovery. The Moon enters emotionally intense Scorpio this morning and in a T-square to the Jupiter/Pluto opposition—keeping you on edge with anticipation.

Wednesday: The Sun enters Leo today, initiating the peak of the summer season, and bringing out more of your extroverted self—let your light shine!. The Moon is in deep-seeking Scorpio sextile to lovely Venus this morning and in a harmonious trine to communicative Mercury this afternoon, bringing out the best of Scorpio—a good day to be charismatic, intriguing, and and a bit mysterious—just for the Leo fun of it!

Thursday: Hooray, Hooray, Mercury goes direct today, bringing greater clarity to communications and decision making. The Moon starts the day in introspective Scorpio moving into extroverted Sagittarius this evening and in a harmonious trine to the Sun—slow start, fast finish.

Friday: A stellar day in the heavens with two major harmonious aspects—Mercury sextile to Venus and Neptune sextile Pluto. With Mercury in harmony with Venus, communications are lighthearted and a bit flirtatious. Neptune and Pluto in harmony feeds the mystical and spiritual side of life. An upbeat day emotionally with the Moon in light-hearted Sagittarius in a grand trine by sign with both Jupiter and Saturn.

Saturday: An edgy morning gives way to a fun and adventurous day with the Moon in outgoing Sagittarius squaring Venus and opposite Mars in the very early morning, and then no aspects throughout the day—get out and explore a bit.

Sunday: A good day to pour into a project or tend to chores with the Moon entering task-oriented Capricorn this morning. You may feel a little spacey this afternoon with a square to daydreamy Neptune. The Sun is opposite Pluto, inviting you to purge who you aren’t to become who you are—and to stay away from power trippers.

 May the stars be with you!
