Brainy Mercury’s entry into its earthy home sign sharpens minds with practical perspectives and analytical skills. However, this transit doesn’t last very long as Mercury is turning retrograde on August 2. It will back into Leo on August 8 before returning to Virgo on September 8. A great asset of this intellectually astute transit is its capacity to break down complex issues into easily manageable pieces.

The communication planet is enriched with greater creativity and boldness now. Self-expression grows more dramatic, sometimes to effectively make a valid point or grandstand with immature insecurity. The potential for original thought grows when we take our ideas seriously, but take ourselves lightly. This way the focus is on the expressive and entertaining sides of Leo, rather than on the need to inflate our egos.

Generous Jupiter lumbers into slow-moving Taurus where greater understanding of the Earth and our bodies awaits. Beliefs are grounded in the simple realities of daily life so we can experience truth in its most basic form. Fuzzy philosophies and airy abstractions tend to drift away in the winds as we seek knowledge that can be applied in the material world. The divide between spirit and matter can be reduced by awareness of our connection with nature. There is less need to search long and far for fulfillment because the potential for contentment is available here and now

From Stressful to SensualJune 3 – 5 |
This is an intense weekend that starts with the Moon’s entry into her supersensitive home sign Cancer on Friday morning. The security that we seek during this lunar transit will be hard to come by because of her tense aspects with explosive Uranus, punishing Pluto and stern Saturn that put us through our emotional paces. This cosmic climate is not easy for relationships since trust is hard to come by now. Whether it’s internal inconsistency or external chaos, settling into a comfortable connection with someone appears to be a major challenge.
When trying to maintain a partnership, it’s best to step back from potential conflicts as these stressful aspects are building a psychological powder keg that can be detonated with one careless remark. Thankfully, Saturday is a very different kind of day since the Moon’s only planetary contacts are harmonious ones. In fact, they are sexy, sassy and spicy sextiles with passionate Mars in the morning and lovable Venus at night. These are delightful transits for experiencing some simple and comfortable pleasures.
There’s no need to be bold or adventurous as Venus and Mars in Taurus prefer cozy, good times that don’t require drama or risk. In fact, generous Jupiter’s entry into easygoing Taurus on Saturday adds an extra dollop of enjoyment for those who stop long enough to feed their senses. Indulging in the gifts of nature, music, food or massage is especially rewarding.
Sunday’s tale is different since the Moon strides into expressive Leo in the morning to cultivate more dramatic emotions. Feelings are a big deal in this sign, with a tendency toward grand gestures and even greater passion.

Amorous Venus’ return to her earthy home sign is a celebration of sensuality and simple pleasures. A more leisurely romantic pace allows love to grow with comfort and ease. Accepting ourselves as we are increases self-worth and the ability to attract who and what we desire. There is, though, a risk of becoming self-indulgent, overly possessive and stuck in old patterns that make it more difficult to adapt to new experiences or accept change in relationships.
