IMPORTANT ASTROLOGY DATES

Mercury in Gemini Square Neptune in Pisces

You may have thought your idea was sound but be ready for others to point out flaws in your logic. While it cannot be as easily fixed as it is to find, it can send you down a new road of intellectual thinking which may in turn fix other problems. Just because you misstated something, that does not give others the right to cause you problems. There is a fine line between joking and bullying, do not let others cross it when talking about you or those around you. By the same token, be a little more understanding of others when they make mistakes, as the universe seems out to make everyone look like a fool right now.

New Moon in

Cancer

After the last troubles, the changes in the stars caused, at least this one is for the better. It is a time to rest and refresh. This is a time of new and happier beginnings for all those around you. This is also a good time to look around your home. Take a moment to really examine your property, your roots, and your ancestry to help you to fully understand what is important. Make note of the efforts others are making to try to not only improve themselves but also to establish a closer connection to you. It is important to feel comfortable in our homes and in our bodies. You should make any decisions about changing up your life as soon as you have all the facts.

Sun in Cancer

Opposition

Pluto in

Capricorn

Do not expect others to listen to you without question, nor should you blindly follow the instructions of others. This is a time to question the dynamics of power, both those who have it and those who its thumb are underneath. While it may be impossible to change the world, that should not keep you from trying, especially if there is a call to action you are vested in. A few words and actions taken at the right moment have greater importance than normal; if you have been waiting to join a social reform movement, it is time to sign onto the campaign.

If you are not willing to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, then who do you think will advocate in your absence?

Vesta Enters Libra

Life changes focus on you again but instead of looking outside for a worthy cause, concentrate on yourself, particularly on your love life. If you fall in love, you are doomed for heartache of some kind along way. There is no way to avoid it; there is no way for it to get better unless you go through the pain to the other side. The trip is long and never easy; but healing fires of passion can go a long way towards making it more bearable.

Love and heartache also help to motivate you to reach for something just beyond your grasp. Love is all about the journey, it never has a destination or a roadmap to follow. Do not be afraid when love does not work out, instead just remember that each failure brings you one step closer to finding the right person.

Venus enters Virgo

You will be more critical about yourself and your choices. Although you are the ultimate judge of your activities, you should also be willing to consider extenuating circumstances before passing too hard of a sentence upon yourself. Life did not come with an owner’s manual; even if it did, it is not like you have access to replacement parts when needed. Complications in relationships with male authority figures is to be expected. You may find yourself doubting your own faith and belief systems, but that is part of growth and change. This doubt may even leak over into your romantic encounters; instead of getting upset at the actions of others, ask yourself what are you really doing to make this relationship work? Or are you only in this love affair for the physical activities?

Sun enters Leo

Your focus finally moves to a more outgoing and playful mood. This is great as summer is in full swing and you should be outside, enjoying the fresh air and excitement of the season. You may not feel content in just being part of the team, instead you want to shine and let the world know you are here. Add a touch of colour and a little dash of drama to your life to help spice up your romantic encounters. You may find yourself leaning towards big, bold expressions of your love and desires for someone whom you had let go of. Stop being so vain and self-centred, pick up the phone and make a long overdue call.

Atone for past mistakes and be sincere in your apology even if your motives are questioned; this is about you being willing to put the past behind you.

Full Moon in Aquarius

Stop trying to go with the heard, instead focus in on yourself and what you want. This is a time to look inward at what your inner voice is telling you is your truth. Learn how to capitalise on what you want and what makes you unique from everyone else. While many people are fine getting up and working a boring office job for the rest of their life, is that really you? Is that what your soul cries out to do? Are you really a Boring Beige

Betty, always trying to keep up with everyone else but not really happy? Or do you have an Interesting Ingrid inner personality that is dying to set off a colour bomb just to see how a black bathroom would look? If you have been repressing your inner child, let them off the leash.

Mercury enters Leo

As if life has not been exciting enough, get ready to let loose and see where the road less travelled will take you. Today is a game changer for the rest of the summer. No more sitting back and thinking about changes, no more planning to do something new, and no more putting up with boring people. The world is waiting for you and there is no reason to stay home. Let your bold new sense of confidence show as you swagger into new and energizing places. Open your mouth and talk to people, even strangers on the plane, or sitting in a coffee shop. You cannot go wrong with just saying hello. What is the worst that can happen to you, you make a new friend? Or even perhaps get invited, dare we say it, on a date? Hey, it is not like they can take away your birthday, right?

Jupiter Retrogrades back into Aquarius

While your energy level may not be propelling you forward, lack of energy is not going to hold you back either. While you may not be running at full speed just yet, that does not mean you are standing still in pursuit of your larger passions and goals. So, you have made some changes, and while you were fired up about them at first, this is crunch time. This is when your resolve gets tested to keep moving and not allowing yourself to fall back into some, dare we say it, boring habits. This year has been full of starts, stops, and pivots in other directions, but it is all still okay. You are on course to do something great, just adjust the pace a little. Even the fastest vehicle needs to take time to refuel itself.

Mars enters Virgo

It suddenly becomes all about the details. Expect others to be coming to you for clarification and asking for greater understanding of your plans. Do not let this throw you. Everyone has questions and concerns about everything. It is time to face it, this time last year was a mess, and so everyone is afraid to try new things. However, fear is the little death, it kills your hopes and dreams, and eventually drives you mad with boredom. So, the world fell apart last year, and it is not on too stable a footing right now, but life is about not fearing the future, but instead it is about learning to live in interesting times. As it turns out, the Earth is still turning, the wind is still blowing, and you are still here. Go out and get some fresh air, then tackle the problems as they come.
