Weekly Forecast 7/28/24 – 8/3/24 EDT for Transits
Sunday: Today we start with the Moon in Taurus, and you may find yourself evaluating what you value and how it aligns to your sense of stability, emotional and financial security as well as love and money. It is a good day for out of the box thinking which may help you home in on solutions for your finances or themes of the house where Taurus sits. Be careful not to indulge in emotional eating or too much retail therapy. We also start a weeklong T-square with Ceres in Capricorn to the nodes of fate in Aries & Libra. Themes around this transit will likely include feeling a deep need for nurturing, mothering or the sense of loss or the ending/beginning of a cycle. Capricorn is more practical than emotional so it will likely not be the warm and fuzzy but the no nonsense approach to these themes. This will be overlayed with feelings of responsibility, discipline and restriction as you may be in a position that will require your leadership and you may have to call on your courage to assert yourself while trying to maintain some semblance peace and diplomacy and to build bridges and connections to accomplish all that is going on now.
Monday: As the moon starts to make its exit out of Taurus it will conjunct with Uranus it could create that sudden spark of innovative solutions you have been seeking, which, as this conjunction will make a trine to Juno the goddess of partnerships, may create some shocking change to a partnership or a sudden reversal or novel way to harness your existing partnerships to better align with your values. It may provide you with the insight and sudden epiphany that gives you a better sense of love and material security. We will also have Mars making a sextile to the Sun which could be the departing of a kinglike figure from the Leo house of your chart. It could also indicate some new endeavor or leadership role or having the courage in communicating your thoughts, creative expression and ideas to leadership.
Tuesday & Wednesday: With the Moon hanging out in Gemini the out of the box thinking started over the weekend will hit high gear, Gemini rules the thinking mind. With Mars and Jupiter in Gemini as well this could be aggressive communications or actions based on the expansive ideas. Mars is here ready to act on these ideas and could also initiate short trips or the start of skills-based learning that could expand the way you think. This could be a complete change in how you think as well as Mars also severs, so what you thought, how you think and learn are all up for revision during Mars’ stay in Gemini. Mars also ruling your passions can really heat up debates or you may find some new subject to study that you are completely passionate about. You could also take a trip for romance or start a new romance on a trip.
Thursday & Friday: The Moon will be traveling through Cancer so it will be free to express its nature and will be in opposition to Ceres in Capricorn which is looking to restrict or find stability around emotions, but the Moon here will likely win out and you could find that these couple days are filled with a lot of emotions and could be related to the ending of a partnership or close relationship as you know it. If Ceres is showing up as the end of some cycle in your life right now you will be feeling and expressing it. Let it out, don’t stifle emotions, as they sit in the body and create dis-ease. We must process our emotions to release them and move forward so be practical and use self-care and nurturing to allow and express them. Venus will move into a square with Uranus indicating a change to some female in your Leo house (for me this is very real as my mentor and one of my best friends will be leaving the company I have worked with her in for almost 13 years) example…my Leo house is my 10th house of career so as you can see this very much speaks to what happens in the houses especially outward events for the angular houses (1,4,7,10) if you want to see how these transits affect your personal natal chart, don’t forget to book a reading here with NEW30 through August for all new clients!
Saturday: Mercury moving very slowly as it gears up to retrograde on Tuesday will perfect a trine from Hygeia the goddess of health, wellness & prevention. She is asking Mercury to pick apart things in your Virgo house and really examine, analyze and organize them to help facilitate any healing any illness or creating new wellness routines or new ideas around preventing instability in your Taurus house. Mars will also be in conversation with the Nodes of fate, the North node will be in sextile to Mars asking him to take action on any new ideas, learning and travel and as it relates to your Aries house. Mars will then be sending that energy over to your Libra house which could mean cutting out a relationship, changing the way you view your partnership, creating a harmonious environment in the house where Libra sits in your chart. (example for me, taking some time to withdraw and sit with my feelings and thoughts, meditation and contemplation, enjoy the arts, get lost in some music and avoiding self-defeating actions – Libra is my 12th house)
Weekly Forecast 7/14/24 – 7/20/24 EDT for Transits
Sunday: We start out Sunday with the moon moving into Scorpio around mid-morning EDT, and it will form a square with Venus from fiery Leo. This could cause deep emotions and surrounding love, money, partnerships, and relationships in general. This is a good time to dig into the depths and investigate your feelings around these themes. With Venus in Leo you may also have some good luck in your Leo house as she will be there through August 4. You could see an increase in spending on children or for fun, play, romance, gambling and could even give you a win, especially if Leo sits on your 5th house. So wherever Leo sits in your chart you will find these themes as well as the themes of that house getting some good luck from Venus the goddess of love and money. Check my cheat sheets below to find out what the themes of your Leo house are!
Monday & Tuesday: Today serves up a gnarly conjunction of Uranus and Mars in Taurus that will happen about 10am EDT. This conjunction will take place on fixed star Algo which is dubbed the Demon star, the head of Medusa & Lilith so think about feminine persecution. if you want to learn more about that star see this site https://astrologyking.com/algol-star/! Although it can have both positive and negative affects depending on the eclipse variability of this triple star system, that calculation that is beyond the scope of this forecast. Additionally, we will have Chiron the wounded healer making a square with the Sun and Mercury making a square to Pallas the wisdom seeker. I will cover some of the positive and negative themes that may play out by rising sign. Honestly the fixed angular houses are going to feel this one the most. (Taurus/Leo/Scorpio & Aquarius risings)
Aries risings Positively this has the potential for things like elopements or surprise engagements during a trip. Alternatively, this could be a turn down to a proposal that was completely unexpected. Sudden changes to your possessions or earnings. You may suddenly feel the need to cut off friends’ groups or associations that are no longer in alignment with your values or that are just costing too much money. Other potentials are a job loss, or the start of some new endeavor that will allow you use your creativity. New insights as to what you value. Healing of emotions surrounding your roots and foundations and your emotional security. Sudden positive or negative changes to your earnings and possessions are also possible during this transit. You could experience some sudden insights or unexpected spending on children, fun, play and romance. Be careful of accidents as Mars rules YOU and your body, and this conjunction is taking place in your 2nd house which sustains and feeds the first house.
Taurus Risings This conjunction is happening in the house of YOU. Mars rules your marriage/contracts/close relationship/open enemies, be careful not to “lose your head” or become too aggressive in arguments with partners or because of hidden emotions around responsibilities, home and your security.
There is the potential to sever significant partnerships or close relationships that are not longer inline with what and who you are or want to be in the world. The way others see you during this transit could be altered and could be very shocking to others as with Mars ruling your 12th house it could be something that has been hidden so it will be very unexpected. With Chiron in your house of undoing throwing shade over to the Sun in your 3rd I suspect a lot of mental and emotional energy around not being good enough and fear around showing the world and yourself who you are.
Positively this could be an unexpected opportunity at work, or change in jobs that could involve partnering with your significant other or forming new partnerships which lead to great success and perhaps doing this work from home. Try not to spend too much money on self-defeating habits, but also try not to limit your potential because of your own self-defeating thoughts and unexpressed passions and anger.
You more than the Aries 1st housers will really need to be careful of accidents or injuries, especially to the head for both you and your partners/significant other or your open enemies.
Because Mars is in your house if you are having legal battles you will likely have the advantage and the win could be completely unexpected if rulings happen during this transit or even in sports or other competitions.
Gemini Risings This conjunction happens in your 12th house of things hidden/self-undoing/hidden emotions/hidden enemies/sorrow/endings/institutions so some potentials of this transit could be the cutting away of friends’ groups especially if they are facilitating your bad habits or self-undoing. A revelation that perhaps certain friends are acting as hidden enemies or are no longer in alignment with your efforts/wishes/hopes.
Because Mars rules the house of work/duty/service/health/illness there could also be a call to change our daily habits/routines in a shocking or unexpected way, we could let go of what was perceived as our duties and obligations to more align with what we value and now showing those values to our groups and associations.
There will be a lot of emotions surrounding duty/obligation/work and how those things relate to our local neighborhood/siblings/how you think.
Make sure you are giving yourself the space to process emotions and focus on some self-care. Don’t keep these things buried as there could be an eruption of the hidden or repressed emotions. Your emotional foundation is top of mind as is your siblings/cousins and there could be the shocking revelations about your siblings/cousins around earnings and work that were unexpected or shocking.
The biggest risk during this transit could be an accident or illness that could potentially involve going to the hospital for a parent/teacher/sibling. Positively this transit could also indicate short distance travel for or with siblings/cousins.
Cancer Risings Changes to your friends’ groups because of creative differences or forging new associations that allow your creative expression, fun, play and romance may be on deck. You could also break away from shared resources as you are afforded new opportunities for earnings from your career. Changes in earnings due to change in career/purpose/how the world views you which could involve earning more from your creative endeavors. A focus more on what is important to you and how you view and move through the world. A lot of deep introspection about emotions or financial security which may cause a sudden change or cutting off resources in the area of your fun/play/romance/gambling/creative side/children or what you value in terms of friends groups or your wishes/efforts/hopes.
You may even be called to take part in more humanitarian efforts and could see a change in career/job that will allow you to work more with the masses or for more community/global humanitarian causes that could also involve changes in your belief systems. An increase or severing of shared resources which could also look like sudden cuts in funding for groups you may be involved with or even some fundraising efforts for progressive ideals. Alternatively you could have a sudden shift as to what groups you are aligned to and who you may want to support financially (like changing what charity you give to or which political party you support)
Leo Risings this shocking unexpected twist will involve your career/image/purpose & marriage/partnership/contract & home/security/family themes. Because Uranus is the modern ruler of your partnership, for some this could look like an unexpected change in partnerships/your home/career/image/purpose.
Positively this could be an unexpected (by others) marriage or new career opportunity or even moving unexpectedly for your career. There could be a bit of secrecy surrounding you and/or changes to your career/purpose with your ruler in the 12th house of hidden things.
You could also be burying emotions in an effort to maintain a outward appearance of emotional and foundational security, even if inside you are feeling very unsure in these areas.
Negatively (although that is subjective) a breakup of a marriage or close relationship that could be unexpected by you or the world. Shocking and unexpected is the name of Uranus’s game, so if that happens you or the other could be completely blind-sided by it.
Whichever way these energies play out will likely allow a positive expansion of your wishes/hopes/efforts.
Be mindful to keep your head about you especially in your dealing with your values , money and love as this could result in a more public viewing of things that you may like to keep hidden and could alter the way others view you.
This could look like long distance travel for work or partnerships or by your partner/spouse as well. You or your partner/spouse may be undergoing some fundamental shifts in belief systems or expanding your views and personal moral compasses. Expansion of what is hidden and taboo may become more visible to the outside world as well during this transit.
Virgo Risings You get this conjunction in your 9th house of higher mind/expansion of beliefs/philosophy/religion/long journeys, what shocking twists may come about to your beliefs, will there be an unexpected long or spiritual journey? With Mars ruling your 8th, this could be a deeper dive into the more occult mysteries and expanding consciousness through things like tarot/kundalini/astrology. Alternatively, there could be a change to your everyday rituals and routines that may take on a more traditional religious feel or cutting out of some dogmatic rituals to ones more centered on self-care and being of service to others.
For some this could look like a sudden change in degree if you are in college or getting that loan you were already denied for. Negatively it could be cutting of your educational loans and having to find some hidden support or finances to continue your journey or education.
Using religion or spiritual practices to keep your self-sabotaging at bay may also be a theme. For some there could be a move to another neighborhood or even to a foreign country. Some may get a job in a hospital or some institution that works for humanitarian causes or causes of progressive nature or that help the community or in political organizations.
Libra risings This conjunction happens in your 8th house. You could see some shocking/unexpected changes to your shared resources because of an unexpected change in partnerships, or a sudden inheritance. Some may see expanded travel for everyday duties and responsibilities or even for some self-care or spiritual journey or some journey that brings your sense of adventure and expanded thought processes to life.
You could pay off a loan or have an IRS error or bill resolved. You could be working to strategically to either cut reliance on shared resources or working to increase your resources in the shared pool. Your creative self-expression/fun/play/romance may clash with your financial goals or alternatively you may find a new way to add to your resources that involve some innovative progress way that will incorporate your creativity in some way.
You may be offering secret financial support to friends or groups. This could be in an effort to not upset the apple cart at work.
There could be some tension between your partnerships and your career/image/purpose, you may feel your security at work could be in jeopardy because of your associations, alternatively you may be making new partnerships that will increase the security of your career/purpose.
Scorpio Risings This conjunction happens in your house of partnerhips/marriage/open enemies/contracts. You could see a sudden change in your partnerships and/or your home and sense of financial security.
There may be some emotions around work/career/image and your everyday duties and obligations.
There could be unexpected outcomes in terms of contracts/marriage that rock your emotional foundation or have you questioning your personal morals or call on you to expand your view and to nurture your belief systems. This could also create some unexpected changes to your daily routines and could also offer the potential to travel for work/career/purpose.
Positively this could look like an unexpected boost in career and perhaps earnings. But with the Sun ruler of your career house being in your 9th (cancer) you may see some conflicts in your feelings about what is transpiring, it may be good on one level but sad because some partnerships are ending.
If you have been strategizing about how you will move through the world and what you are going to do and how you are viewed you might see a unexpected change in direction, either by you or a significant partner.
This is a good opportunity to really dig deep into your emotions and who you are and what is important to you. Who do you want to be, are the opportunities and partnerships superficial or will they provide you with the foundation you need to do the great work of your life which for us is transforming ourselves, being of service and healing and being a positive example for others. If you do the work Scorpio and really get down to what is the best way to move forward for the overall strategic direction for your life you will make the right decision and this is why even if you think you have the answers right now it may look vastly different after this conjunction and once the moon moves out of Scorpio late Tuesday.
Sagittarius Risings This conjunction takes place in your house of duty/obligation/work/service/pets. Look for some unexpected changes in your daily routine or in your obligations and work. You could see an uptick in local travel for these changes. Watch for illness and accidents with this conjunction especially because it is in your house of health/wellness.
The moon will be in your 12th house of what is hidden and the ruler is part of this conjunction so what shocking revelations may come from hidden aspects of yourself and your emotions? Mars also rules your house of fun/play/romance/gambling/creativity so it could look like more obligations are taking away from your creative endeavors or cutting out spending on fun/play/romance. Hygeia here as well could add to the health/wellness aspect of this conjunction and could bring a new illness or the healing of some illness to your or your pets as well.
There could be an emotional emphasis around financial security in regards to shared resources or about transforming thoughts and beliefs around your partnerships as well as career and image. Your chart ruler being in the house of open enemies could add to this story by expanding or over inflating the thoughts and beliefs around your partnerships.
Capricorn Risings this is all about your creative expression/fun/play/romance/children/gambling perhaps you unexpectedly cut out spending on things like gambling or you win big money through gambling or speculation of some sort. This could also be about your children, and could look like a some sudden or shocking change for them such as a marriage announcement that they have been keeping secret. Or cutting them off because of their spending too much money on things that are self-sabotaging.
This could also bring some illness to a partner or some increase in your daily work as the result of an increase in work responsibilities due to someone quitting or getting fired and you are asked to take on the extra responsibilities.
For some this could also be the end of an illness of an elderly parent that leads to an inheritance.
There could also be an increase in reliance of shared resources due to the loss of a job. Be careful to not let any self-sabotage behaviors affect your health and perhaps look to expand rituals/practices/routines that will foster better health and wellness.
Aquarius Risings this conjunction will happen in your 4th house of home/family/inner world/emotions/financial security. This could look like a cut in support by the family and a need to work on your own career and image all of the sudden. There could also be a focus on health and wellness of siblings/cousins or even travel for the death of a loved one or to get see a partner. There is the potential for a parent to get sick or to announce something that sends shockwaves through your emotional body and threatens your sense of emotional or financial security. This could be a divorce of parents or a new partnership for one of your parents or even one of your children.
You could see an increase in emotions around your partners or romance/children.
Your career/purpose house is definitely in the mix with Mars ruling your 10th so some may see a sudden opportunity to work from home which may help heal some financial burdens.
Pisces Risings This is happening in your 3rd house of how you think/siblings/short trips/communications. This for some could look like a sudden hospitalization of a sibling or cousin and you may have to travel to visit someone in a hospital. It could also be one of them gets a job in some institution of healing.
You could have an unexpected shift in who you think and may be compelled to take a course to expand your knowledge.
You may find that you have to move neighborhoods all of the sudden and that could have you taking out loans or signing lease contracts.
There could be a bit of emotional focus on romance/fun/play/children/speculation and how it is incorporated into your daily routines. You may find that you change quickly what is important to you and decide that instead of focusing on money you may work to be of service to others and taking care of yourself as well. Obligations may become the focus of your fun/play/romance and could involve your children’s health and wellness as well.
Wednesday & Thursday: The moon shifts out of the serious and deep sign of Scorpio into the freedom loving expansive Sagittarius so now that you put in all of the emotional work and had these shocking revelations or turn abouts, how are you going to put into action all of the secrets you uncovered there? This will likely feel like a big relief from the heavy, but Sag still wants to expand your mind so now is the time to expand your mind and open up to new possibilities and even look at life as an adventure no matter how heavy the revelations are, as life is the continued opportunity to expand our horizons and learn from our missteps. I also feel there will be some news about a “king” so that could be corporate head of your company/department or also your father/guru/teacher/spouse.
With the moons ruler hanging out in Gemini you can expect to be running the emotions through the lower mind, so be careful to limit your thoughts and emotions and instead try to expand your capacity for knowing and understanding as we navigate the turbulence of these revelations. This can be amplified by Chiron from Aries making a trine to Mercury in Leo. Be careful not to get caught up in the what about me mentality and expand your compassion and emotional intelligence and use your higher mind to pull of the pieces together and see the big picture and how to make the best of whatever the situation is. If it is a lesson let it be a lesson without blaming others, its time for radical self-acceptance and also to forgive yourself if you feel you made bad choices along the way and then find a way to forge a new reality rooted in the truth of who you are and what you actually need to do/know/create in this world.
Friday & Saturday: Today we will have the moon shifting into Capricorn, so it is time for serious work and there will be feel of being critical of our emotions, but try to allow them even though we know Capricorn will make it hard. The big energy Friday & Saturday will be Mars making a sextile to Neptune both at the critical degree of 29, so now that the fog feels like it is lifting it may be time for decisive action (Mars). Neptune is sending it’s uncovered truth over to Mars and saying ok, the ball is in your court, so the 2 houses that rule Pisces and Mars will be the themes here. So check below after finding your rising sign (see video here) to see what themes may be at play. But we also have Saturn that was restricting some movement in the Pisces house and now that he is retrograde this could a time where his slowness and restrictions are outdone by Mars’ impulsive action, just make sure that you are seeing things for what they really are before pulling that trigger, so to speak.
