[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of July 8-14

This week starts off nice and productive, maybe even a little sweet. By midweek the drama and intensity begin to build.

Monday 07/08

• ♀︎ at 26° 02‘ Cancer ✳ ♅ at 26° 02‘ Taurus  | 7:04 am eastern
• ☿ at 09° 50‘ Leo ✳ ♃ at 09° 50‘ Gemini  | 10:26 am eastern
• ☽ at 21° 36‘ Leo □ ♂︎ at 21° 36‘ Taurus | 5:18 pm eastern

Monday could bring unexpected changes and excitement in relationships and finances that will be most useful if you’re willing to be innovative and flexible. 

Communication should be upbeat and you might find your mind is buzzing with ideas. I know that sounds great but watch out for overconfidence and scattered focus. 

With so much energy flying around you might find that tensions are running a little higher - especially if other’s innovative ideas are at odds with your own.

Tuesday 07/09

• ☽ at 26° 04‘ Leo □ ♅ at 26° 04‘ Taurus | 2:03 am eastern
• ☽ V/C | 2:03 am - 9:47 pm eastern
• 🌒 Waxing Crescent Moon | 3:53 pm eastern
• ☽ ▻ Virgo | 9:47 pm eastern

Tuesday the Moon is void for essentially the entire day (2:03 am - 9:47 pm eastern.)

If you want a quick reminder on how to optimize this time, check out my blog post:  Practical Guide to the Void Moon.

This makes the day slightly more foggy than one might expect on a random Tuesday but it’s not all bad. It’s a fantastic day for getting things done that you’ve previously started or for long naps and self care.

Wednesday 07/10

• ☽ at 10° 12‘ Virgo □ ♃ at 10° 12‘ Gemini | 6:07 am eastern
• ☉ at 19° 19‘ Cancer △ ♄ at 19° 19‘ Pisces | 11:04 pm eastern 

Wednesday is a fantastic day for getting all the things done with  a disciplined approach and careful management of your to-do list. Focus on what’s important, not what’s urgent (especially if the urgency is coming from someone else).

Today is great for anything that requires a bit of focus, building solid foundations, and making steady progress.

Thursday 07/11

• ☽ at 19° 19‘ Virgo ☍ ♄ at 19° 19‘ Pisces | 12:26 am eastern
• ☽ at 19° 22‘ Virgo ✳ ☉ at 19° 22‘ Cancer | 12:34 am eastern
• ☽ at 23° 28‘ Virgo △ ♂︎ at 23° 28‘ Taurus | 8:51 am eastern
• ♀︎ at 29° 54‘ Cancer △ ♆ at 29° 54‘ Pisces  | 10:32 am eastern
• ♀︎  ▻ Leo | 12:18 pm eastern
• ☽ at 26° 10‘ Virgo △ ♅ at 26° 10‘ Taurus | 2:20 pm eastern
• ☽ at 29° 54‘ Virgo ☍ ♇ at 29° 54‘ Pisces | 9:55 pm eastern
• ☽ V/C | 9:55 - 10:06 pm eastern
• ☽ ▻ Libra | 10:06 pm eastern
• ☽ at 00° 33‘ Libra ✳ ♀︎ at 00° 33‘ Leo | 11:14 pm eastern

Thursday has Disney Princess energy. 

The movie starts with creativity and romance along with a slight touch of idealism and delusion for the hard working emotionally troubled (or intense) heroine. They all start kind of the same right? The first half of the day leans more Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty.

There is some intensity and maybe a touch of drama as she comes out of her shell (leaves Cancer) and struts out onto the stage (enters Leo).

This is the plot twist. What started out as an old school Disney Princess of a day morphs into a modern princess story where the heroine isn’t getting the Prince—she's the main character, embracing her power and independence.. 

It’s more Mulan, Moana, Tiana, Elsa, or Merida 

So about that Venus in Leo.

Venus in Leo is bold, audacious, and glamorous. She’s not here for a long time, she’s here for a good time.

This transit is great for creative endeavors and socializing and can bring opportunities for financial gain or love through charm, creativity, and embracing luxury.

Eventually. 

Friday 07/12

• ☽ at 01° 07‘ Libra △ ♇ at 01° 07‘ Aquarius | 12:24 am eastern
• ♀︎ at 01° 07‘ leo ☍ ♇ at 01° 07‘ Aquarius  | 10:11 am eastern
• ☽ at 10° 44‘ Libra △ ♃ at 10° 44‘ Gemini | 7:58 pm eastern

Friday (and the end of Thursday) is intense. I know I promised audacity and luxury and you can have it after the power struggles are over.

With Venus opposing Pluto, expect deep passion and/or potential conflicts in your relationships. It’s great for uncovering hidden motives and getting to the bottom of things but it’s also pretty fantastic for engaging obsessive stalker mode.

Saturday 07/13

• ☽ at 16° 49‘ Libra ✳ ☿ at 16° 49‘ Leo | 8:18 am eastern
• ☽ V/C | 5:48 pm eastern - July 14, 10:52 am eastern
• 🌓 Waxing Quarter Moon | 6:48 pm eastern

Saturday is nice, use it to socialize or get work done. It’s a tiny little island between intense transits.

Sunday 07/14

• ☽ ▻ Scorpio | 10:52 am eastern
• ☽ at 01° 04‘ Scorpio □ ♇ at 01° 04‘ Aquarius | 1:01 pm eastern
• ☽ at 04° 01‘ Scorpio □ ♀︎ at 04° 01‘ Leo | 6:54 pm eastern

Sunday the intensity starts to build after the Moon moves into Scorpio at 10:52 am eastern. 

The most explosive aspect of the month (Mars conjunct Uranus) happens tomorrow, but the fireworks will likely start today. 

The good news is, it’s great for taking decisive or innovative action. The bad news is, it’s explosive and volatile. Better news - the most extreme outcomes are most likely to be evident on a national or international scale, not at the personal level. 

Nevertheless, be extra cautious, safety first, and all similar sayings. 

Until next time, my wish for you is the audacity to be the main character in your life. -Robin💋
