Week of July 8
EDIT 7/8/24: OOPS! I accidentally wrote that this was for the week of June 24 In the email version of this newsletter. This is for the week of July 8!
Venus in Cancer sextiles Uranus in Taurus on July 8 — Delightful surprises!
This is such a fun, bubbly, effervescent alignment! The mood is flirty, optimistic, and perhaps even silly (in the best way). One of the key aspects of this alignment is novelty: exciting, new surprises, experiments, and opportunities could arise. While Venus rules love and money (and yes, happy surprises on these fronts may take place!), our social lives could also benefit positively.
Mercury in Leo sextiles Jupiter in Gemini on July 8 — Big Ideas!
Mercury is the planet of communication, and Jupiter is all about wisdom, so a happy alignment between these two planets symbolizes an intellectually stimulating period. Inspiring ideas, big news, and optimism could be shared! If you want to convince someone of something, they might be more willing to see your point of view at this time. This could be an effective period for negotiation.
The sun in Cancer trines Saturn in Pisces on July 11 — In charge and loving it?
Saturn is the planet of hard work and responsibility. It symbolizes commitment, contracts (and contraction), and has a very serious atmosphere about it. The sun symbolizes joy, life, and vitality! A happy alignment between these two lifts Saturn up out of its heavyheartedness and allows Saturn’s stabilizing supportive side to sparkle! The best qualities of Saturn could be on display: People might approach life with determination and confidence. A sense of security, maturity, and clear-headedness about making future plans could be in the air. We could find ourselves thriving in a leadership position… or stepping down if we’re ready to take a break or retire!
Venus in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces on July 11 — Romance is in the air!
Saturn is all about cold, hard reality. Neptune, on the other hand, only cares for cotton candy-spun fantasies! Venus is the planet of romance, beauty, and luxury, and its happy alignment with Neptune on the same day as the Sun/Saturn connection bodes well for dreams coming true!
It’s an exciting time to explore a fantasy. If you’re looking for love, you might be whisked off your feet. People might be very sentimental and emotionally mushy at this time, too. Fantastic, imaginative art could be created, and this is also a wonderful time to explore spiritual topics.
Venus enters Leo on July 11 — Glamorous!
Venus is the planet of love, beauty, and money, and in luxurious Leo, these themes are even more dramatic! Fabulous grand gestures could be made. People might be in the mood to dress a little (or a lot) more flashy! Wealth could be acquired by showing off our talents— if you’ve felt too shy to step on stage, maybe Venus in Leo will give you the courage you need! Venus in Leo also has your back if you’ve been too shy to reach out to a crush. If you’re already in love, Venus in Leo could support you and your partners in showing up authentically and in witnessing each other. Leo is the sign that rules the heart, and Venus in Leo wants us to be very clear about what our heart desires — and to go after it! The mood is very passionate.
Venus in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius on July 12 — Scandalous!
Jealousy, egos, manipulation, power, enmeshment, and shadiness… these are all themes we might have to confront during this period! If you’re in a happy, healthy relationship, this alignment could show up as honest discussions about difficult topics. A transformation could take place as a result! If you’re mixed up with someone immature — or straight-up nefarious! — you might realize what’s up and set firm boundaries.
Jupiter in Gemini sextiles the North Node in Aries on July 12 — Wear your lucky charm!
Courage and confidence could take you far, as Jupiter’s alignment with the North Node could invite you out of your comfort zone and to your destined path! If you believe in destiny, that is. The mood is very optimistic and open-minded at this time, and exciting first tries could be made. A great piece of wisdom could be shared.
