New Moon, New ApproachJuly 1 – 3 |
The weekend starts off with a cosmic Big Bang as the Cancer New Moon on Friday morning is a powerful Solar Eclipse. The safety and security sought in this sensitive sign may be hard to locate with shocking Uranus probing Pluto and constraining Saturn making tense contacts to this Sun-Moon conjunction.
We�re not likely to find much comfort as sudden changes of circumstances and shifting moods have destabilizing effects. Unresolved emotional issues that have long been kept under wraps may surface and trigger very strong feelings. Blame, pity and guilt often arrive under these planetary conditions, yet they need to be gently set aside as none help relieve suffering or restore trust. Taking responsibility for ourselves with a commitment to learn and grow is a much more rewarding response that can put a relationship back on more solid ground.
Although the bigger issues that have been awakened aren�t going to disappear overnight, the Moon�s shift into enthusiastic Leo will brighten the mood on Saturday. It�s a time to look forward with creativity and confidence rather than looking back with trepidation, fearing the past will repeat itself.
Celebrating life with an open heart and a generous spirit allows us to give more to others and receive more in return. Pride might become a stumbling block if we take ourselves too seriously now. We can be competent without keeping score so carefully that we start competing with one another. Adopting a playful approach to our relationships helps to heal wounded hearts and begins the process of restoring more joy to our personal lives.

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.

This New Moon in protective Cancer is a very powerful Solar Eclipse. Instead of planting seeds of security in our gardens of desire, we are challenged to break up the old soil of expectations about what will make us safe and happy. Cancer wants closeness and continuity but eclipses break patterns, especially when forming stressful 90-degree squares with volatile Uranus. Yet while Uranus sparks surprises, constraining Saturn and transformational Pluto also form tense aspects to the New Moon. Pressure is building that can affect major institutions, individuals and the environment and is best met with innovation, passion and commitment. Being a well-prepared and patient agent of change will radically improve lives while desperately holding onto the past can be futile and frustrating.
We may feel a sense of loss or disorientation with this Solar Eclipse, but it is time to burn some bridges with the past. However, we don’t need to erase all memories of what has come before. This New Moon is a clear signal that bold methods and beliefs are more likely to sustain personal growth and collective survival than returning to outmoded ideas.

You may be pumped up today, but you wish that someone else would pick up your positive attitude and run with it. You can grow tired of being the one who always gets things going. You could be ready to give up or you might decide to give it one more try. Although a complicating quincunx between pushy Mars and unrelenting Pluto makes it almost impossible to know what’s best, trust your initial impulse and don’t let doubt slow you down.

Although you normally have plenty of common sense, you might throw caution to the wind if someone appeals to your more adventurous side today. You may even begin a conversation with a friend about a topic that’s usually off-limits. But don’t hesitate just because you cannot tell where your discussion will lead. If there’s a disagreement, it’s not even necessary to reach a resolution now. No matter what happens, breaking the silence is a step in the right direction.

Impatient Mars is in your sign now, provoking you to take direct action, even if you don’t have a plan in place. But its ill-adjusted aspect to powerful Pluto can play out like instant karma and may quickly punish you if you don’t consider other people’s feelings before rushing into something new. A little caution is advised or you could inadvertently offend someone, precipitating more drama than you want.

Don’t let anyone bully you into promising more than you can deliver today, for your desire to help might convince you to take on someone else’s troubles. Offering your assistance may be admirable, but the unrealistic expectations of others could leave you exhausted now without anything to show for your efforts. Remember, being compassionate is honorable, but you won’t be able to save another person unless you save yourself first.

You need to inform your friends about your position on a work-related issue today. You would be wise to explain yourself carefully because you want their support. But you’re tired of having to tell your story one more time, so everyone is able to understand your next move. Remember, it’s not an all-or-nothing proposition; consider your audience and readjust your message as needed.

Your actions may not be in full alignment with your intentions now. Although you have the words to explain what you’re doing, you lack the finesse to execute your plan. One strategy is to share your perspective based upon your analytical thinking. But then, set aside logic and do what feels right in your heart.

You would like to make your choice between two divergent positions today by finding a harmonious balance between the extremes. Although encouraging fair play is one of your strengths, it’s challenging when one person is saying “my way or the highway” so insistently that there’s no room to negotiate. You’re not the sole arbiter of the current situation, so you may need to relinquish control. Have faith that things will unfold as they should.

Your two key planets are warrior Mars and ruthless Pluto. These tough planets are in a difficult quincunx aspect today, requiring you to tone down your message. Manage your overall energy carefully, for not everyone has the ability to match your intensity. Your passionate nature is a blessing, but sometimes it can feel like a curse. There’s no reason to be afraid of your own emotions; however, it’s a good idea to respect the boundaries of those who are.

You may run out of patience today because you’re eager to explore what is beneath the surface. It’s particularly frustrating if you want to investigate a meaningful subject, yet others don’t understand what you’re talking about. Your friends probably have good intentions, but they aren’t able to slow down enough to notice what’s really important. If someone seems easily distracted, it’s a sign for you to retreat. Instead of pushing for a soul connection now, relax your agenda and make room for intimacy to happen more organically later on.

Everyone at work may get on your nerves because no one is doing what’s expected of them. Expressing your anger, however, isn’t enough today. Losing your temper doesn’t motivate anyone to get on track, nor does it improve your attitude, either. Self-control is tricky business now, for unspoken emotions can have surprising consequences. Your wisest strategy is to tell your co-workers about your feelings without placing blame or expectations on them. Your disclosure clears the air and allows you to move on.

You want to share what’s in your heart today, but you might become hooked on your own words in the process. However, your ability to stay emotionally detached is a mixed blessing. It’s fortunate that you are able to communicate objectively, but your actions may appear awkward. Ultimately, it’s better to take extra time to acknowledge your feelings than to act them out unconsciously.

Establishing and maintaining clear boundaries is often difficult for you Fish, yet today it’s even harder than usual. You can trick yourself into believing that your feelings are logical, but caution is advised. Impulsive behavior can take you to the edge of predictability. Slow down, even if your thinking is lightning fast.

You know what you want, and you’re willing to take a risk to achieve satisfaction. Fortunately, your key planet Mars supports your impulsive behavior today with a cooperative sextile to erratic Uranus. Go ahead and push upagainst the restrictions; they just might give way and let you pass. But don’t expect everything to go smoothly; there still could be a few difficult bumps along the way.

The Moon’s visit to your sign usually calms down your energy, but today you’re feeling restless and reckless. You wish that there was a straightforward route to your destination, but your path to success could be a crooked one. Instead of attempting to hide your uncertainty with arrogant behavior, wait until your best option becomes more apparent.

You may feel as if you’re at the top of your game today, empowering you to show off your charm and quick wit. However, you might be so clever at telling your tale that you step over the fine line that usually separates fact and fiction. Your ability to put a positive spin on things enables you to impress everyone now, including yourself. Nevertheless, it would be wise to stick to the truth right from the start.

People seem way too intense today and you aren’t having much luck at calming them down. However, this isn’t really about anyone else; it’s about managing your discomfort that arises when someone else appears to be out of control. Your lesson now is to recognize that you’re only responsible for your own emotions. Stay present with your feelings without putting up any unnecessary defenses in the process.

It seems as if you should be getting ready for a showdown today, but you’re not even sure why. Someone may be acting rather strangely now and something just isn’t making sense. You might be tempted to express your frustration as anger, yet you don’t really have a valid reason. Although you want to take action right away, be smart and let the situation unfold on its own until you have more information.

Your natural analytical skills won’t be of much help because you’re not willing to spend time thinking about your options today. You can see a number of different routes that could further your career goals, yet you just want to take the path of least resistance. Luckily, the most creative solutions will come to you now while you are in motion, so don’t waste time sitting on the sidelines trying to logically decide your next move.

Your day may be totally thrown off course by someone close to you doing something totally unexpected. Fortunately, what first seems like a setback or, at least a detour, could turn into a wonderful journey of discovery. However, you might miss out on an exciting little adventure if you try to resist the changes. Let your plans fall to the wayside and allow the unknown to pleasantly surprise you.

You might become a bit frustrated today as irrepressible Mars in breezy Gemini scatters your energy. Although you prefer a deeper level of interaction, the current pace may be too hectic for the kind of communication you want. Don’t push too hard or the intensity you desire will appear in the form of resistance from others. Keep up with the rapidly changing circumstances for now and they will settle into more meaningful exchanges by tomorrow.

You may be more overbearing today than you realize. In fact, you are so forceful now that your co-workers might think that you’re being unreasonable. But your impulsive approach could produce quick results, so stick to your innovative plan even if it’s unproven. Don’t waste energy trying to convince others that your idea is a viable one. Ultimately, your success will speak volumes for you.

You may be growing more certain that you’re the only one who knows what’s happening and what to do about it. Your confidence can promote a false sense of authority, encouraging you to act first and ask questions later. But an error in judgment is possible if you become stuck on your plan. Keep in mind that you’re not the only one with a good idea; you will be much more successful if you incorporate multiple viewpoints into your perspective.

Your strategy at work isn’t obvious to others, so they may not understand what you’re doing. The bottom line is that you don’t see reality in the same light as your associates because your plan isn’t bogged down in office politics or sentimental attachments. But you are able to be so objective that you might miss an important emotional component to your strategy. Nevertheless, don’t worry about ruffling someone’s feathers today; your brilliance shines through as long as you maintain your integrity.

It’s challenging to concentrate on your current job now because you may be trying to do too many things all at once. You could get dragged into an argument you cannot win if someone questions your ability to deliver on your promises. Don’t try to justify your actions because your logic isn’t as solid as you think. Your accomplishments will be your best defense as long as you remember to keep refocusing on your goals.

You might do something that upsets someone today because you’re willing to gamble your security for the possibility of an amazing experience. You’re more ready than ever to push the envelope of your reality. However, caution is advised because you won’t likely get what you want unless you are willing to make a strategic plan first. Remember, what you do before you take action is as important as what you do after.

Chaotic Uranus can take you for a wild ride today, leading you to temporarily forget that you like things simple. You may feel ready to rock the boat and shake up your mellow routine. However, fulfilling fantasies shouldn’t be your focus; what’s really important is to free up your imagination so you can visualize the amazing possibilities that are outside of the box.

Your energy may be scattered today as you try to express yourself in new and different ways. Fortunately, you’re able to bend the rules now or even make them up as you go. It’s exhilarating when everything falls into place and goes according to your plan. Enjoy the fun while you can, but don’t expect it to last. You’ll need to return to reality and take care of unfulfilled obligations sooner or later.

Restless Uranus squares the Sun in your sign today, provoking you to come out of hiding. You aren’t overly concerned about the consequences of your actions now because it feels as if you can get away with being yourself without others judging you. Although acting spontaneously is refreshing, you could still do something foolish if you don’t consider how you might feel later. It’s great to express yourself, but think before you act.

You have big dreams about what you want to do for adventure, but it may not be that easy to turn your ideas into reality. Instead of procrastinating today, it’s smarter to take the time now to create a concrete plan. It’s a mistake to think that anything is possible unless you’re willing to put in the effort required. Fortunately, you have more time than you think, so don’t overreact and try to do everything at once.

You may feel as if you’re under a lot of stress today, but your desire to do the right thing can turn a difficult day into a memorable one. Don’t worry about how to get others to support your agenda. Instead, simply do the very best job you can, even if you must do it alone. Ultimately, your performance will exceed everyone else’s expectations of what you should do.

It’s challenging to motivate yourself today, for you may feel unusually calm, even in the center of a storm. The unexpected chaos that’s brewing around you only encourages you to hold fast to your current position. However, your immunity to change won’t last; take preemptive action, rather than passively waiting for the lightning to strike.

You need to be careful today or you could become so involved with a project that it takes over your entire day. Something that begins as a minor chore could grow more complicated as you mull over your options. A brilliant plan might come to you in a sudden flash of inspiration, tempting you to take immediate action. But impulsive behavior could demonstrate your recklessness rather than your intelligence. Be patient; the best ideas develop over time.

Your enthusiasm is high today, yet it’s tough to know exactly what to do with your unconventional desires. Unfortunately, if you attempt to ignore your needs, they will only grow stronger. However, you could easily upset the stability of a comfortable relationship now if you just blurt out what you want. Choose an appropriate moment and discuss your feelings casually without becoming overly attached to what happens next.

It isn’t easy today to stick to your customary role of being the responsible one in your family or group of friends. You are suddenly eager to explore undiscovered facets of yourself. You are even tempted to take a quantum leap of faith and blast through a self-imposed limitation. Instead of shocking others with your uncharacteristic behavior, simply start by revealing your thoughts. Once you are ready, transform your brilliant ideas into positive action.

You may be difficult to deal with today because you don’t want to do what’s expected of you. Your key planet, rebellious Uranus, squares the Sun in your 6th House of Daily Routines, prompting you to break the rules. However, you might try to hide your radical behavior now because you don’t want to be rejected by those you love. Go ahead and take a risk; others won’t judge you as harshly as you’re judging yourself. Coloring outside of the lines is your best approach.

You are on edge today and even those things that usually seem comforting can provoke free-floating anxiety. You are being stretched tightly and something is ready to snap at the slightest little provocation. Unfortunately, you could feel even worse if you go over the edge and lose your temper. Discussing your fears rationally now is a better strategy than ignoring them, for they won’t go away until the underlying issue is addressed.
