Astrology Forecast for July 8-14, 2013
Remember, too, that it’s summer. Inside you lives a little child who’d like to go outside and play every now and again. Why not?
Monday: Saturn stations direct, time slows and the Moon is new in Cancer. (My mooncast covers the New Moon in depth.) Tenderness, gingerness and sweetness are the preferred paths for the day. Some people will, of course, choose, touchiness, moodiness, crankiness and smothering. Instead of assuming and reacting, check in with yourself periodically and then talk it out. Self-awareness is at your finger tips, and it’s easy to communicate.
Tuesday: Mercury may be retrograde; emotions may be rising and falling like waves on the ocean, but mental clarity is nonetheless possible today. You know yourself, you know your mind and that awareness permeates everything you say and do. Pushing against constraints is one action item. Another is deciding whether to proceed from a basis of love and compassion, go against your guidance or escape into wine, movies or a la-la perspective.
Wednesday: The emphasis continues on the workings of your mind, speaking it, and what others are telling you. A series of mildly discomfiting aspects promises to knock a lot loose. Surprising (but not unwelcome) messages are in store. So are “Aha!” and “Eureka!” moments. Things you’ve been pondering but not articulated may fly out of you. If there’s a conversation you’ve been wanting to have, or a person you’ve been wanting to connect with, the right place and time just might present themselves.
Thursday: What a difference a day makes. A realization or communication from yesterday has birthed a new phase. The dawning may trigger a bit of anxiety or disorientation. This is so different from what you’ve experienced before, and the absence of rules or game plans or even just precedent is a bit disorienting and unnerving. Take heart. Finding your way does come easily (throwing your inner child a security blanket helps); you know instinctively what to do. Just as you spy the pathway, the Moon enters a short void, from 3:55 PM to 6:12 PM EDT. Contemplate that path. Maybe do some warm-ups? Once the Moon enters Virgo, proceed with eyes open. Writing materials at your bedside could prove interesting. Not necessarily useful … but interesting.
