Astrology Forecast for July 22-28, 2013
Saturday: Get ready: this is the most active day of the week, and how. Adventures in the dreamland rev us up and encourage leaping out of bed and making things happen. Rachet back those impulses, though. The air teems with confusion (ask for guidance, to be safe) and contagions of aggression and worse. Watch for road rage and angry words; they are indications of powerlessness unloading on misplaced targets. No one’s in much of a mood to sit and talk calmly. “I’ve had it!” and “I’m outta here” will be just as common as breaking plans and going off on solo adventures. With sparks like those still crackling, the Moon goes void of course at 3:57 PM EDT until just after midnight Monday. This stretch is anything but quiet. As has been the pattern this year, this void hosts a a cluster of major planetary aspects that prompt attention. Anger, power games and life-or-death aggression are likely, with victimization or romanticism playing a role. (Sacrifices for love? For the greater good? Misguided or unwelcoming intervening? Maybe just reenacting The Lost Weekend?) People will be shooting off their mouths and shooting from the hip, and no one is going to take kindly to hearing no, hitting a wall or being reminded of their duty. Choose your environment and companions with care. Stay out of arguments and rescue missions. They’ll amount to little.
Sunday: The Moon is void of course until 12:44 AM EDT Monday — which means all day in the Eastern and Central time zones. Yesterday’s dust-ups fade with the dawn (especially if you decide to let them go). Today is kinder, softer, more sociable. There’s a morning-after edge, much like when you’ve gone on a bender and spend the next day figuring out what you actually did the night before, rethinking your drinking, and doing whatever it takes to get what you ingested out of your system, for now. Be gentle with yourself. Accept a friend’s invitation when it comes, or reach out when you get the nudge. But most of all, be gentle.
