As the week begins, we take care of the daily mundane things needing attention mentioned in last week’s forecast. In this week, you may feel as though you are on a roller coaster regarding your energy. Monday’s Moon aspect to Uranus creates a restless environment where day to day routines are interrupted and while interrupted, it opens the space where have bursts of insights solving recent concerns. Wednesday looks good for positive and optimistic outcomes while Thursday may throw us into a temporary funk and a strong need to get more rest, sleep or even go swimming.
Since it is the New Moon week a lot of new creative ideas are sparked along with a desire to take a few more risks than you’ve been taking. However – since it is a Mercury retrograde, the suggestion is you do the research, re-think your new strategies that just appeared unexpectedly in this last week and then find out if the ideas are feasible. This way you are ready for when Mercury goes direct at the end of this month as the Sun enters the more practical sign of Virgo on August 22.
Neptune is still retrograde and just ‘stuck’ at that last degree of Pisces and though we all have positive intentions to get our creative projects done, to initiate the ideas we have for improving our health, finances, homes, wardrobes, and businesses, it feels as though there is not movement. This is not something that will shift quickly – and it is forcing each of us to be in the moment (whatever that moment is) and deal with what is right in front of it without imagining the future – except for those little insights which will come throughout the day – and which are excellent and which are as fleeting a they are brilliant. As Neptune sits at this last degree of the zodiac, what is it about our beliefs, our fantasies, our need for connecting to something greater than ourselves, that we are not addressing? Why is it that all moments must have movement? Why isn’t it that we can’t just take a few moments a day (highly suggested) to just sit and ponder and just be?
By the way…On Wednesday August 7, I am doing a LIVE podcast with Amanda Pua Walsh at Astrologyhub.com on my Master Class on Rulerships that they are featuring this month. You can get that Mastery Class here at our website after the podcast airs. In the podcast I will be demonstrating (using peoples’ charts) how using rulerships in an individual’s chart often provides juicy tidbits often overlooked in a flat delineation. Watch for the link!
