Your Full Supermoon in Aquarius Moonscope August 1st 2023

Your Full Supermoon in Aquarius Moonscope August 1st 2023

Moonchild! Are you ready for connecting?The first of two August supermoons appears at the very start of the month. Making this a Blue Moon month. Both the full Moons this month are supermoons which is highly unusual. So, our emotional experiences will be super-sized and the sensitives amongst you will be even more so. No, you are not being over-sensitive. Simply more receptive and attuned.

This full Moon is called the Grain or Lynx Moon. It appears at 9o 16’ of Aquarius. Do check your personal chart for anything in orb of that degree in any sign. This Moon is especially good for Air Signs – Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. For all of us this full Moon represents a bookmark. A key stop or place holder between the present and our future. It’s a call out to take a new path, innovate, make a different choice. It’s also about engagement. We may overuse that word nowadays especially in terms of marketing and social media. We talk about the ‘engagement’ a post or feed has. How many likes etc. But this Moon is about engaging with life and those around us. Not because we think we will get likes or validation. But just because we like the idea of it.

Aquarius is the sign of friendships and who we know and interact with. Do expect some special moments with friends or meet-cutes with this supermoon. Also to look at your existing circle and to examine just what the glue is that holds you together? Or have you grown apart or simply been sticking to the same orbit out of habit? Something new is asking us to explore it. Opt for the different choice.

ARIES

Just hours after the full Moon appears, ruler Mars in your 6th will trine Jupiter in your 2nd. Mars as you know is always about the beat and the heat. Jupiter is about big benefits. You won’t stand still under this full Moon, Aries. You are gravitating towards the things and people which do you good. Work associations may feature. As could activity friendships. Interviews and meetings conducted on this day are likely to have positive outcomes. You are in a go getting, must-do mindset. And this could set your future hurtling down a new path.

Of all the signs, you will be the one examining why you have the connections you do. And being honest about these. You are in a social, gregarious mood. But also, if a connection has been outgrown or you feel someone is in it for the wrong reasons, you’ll arrive at that decision without drama and just release and let go.

You are more open, more daring and eager for something new under this full Moon. If your entourage usually sticks to the same old places, you’ll suggest exploring a different one. That invite some place you’ve not been before? You’re so there especially if this also means you engage with a different crowd. What you really crave under this full Moon are authentic people and friendships. No front. No filter. Just themselves. So you can be yourself with them. And acceptance is a two-way street. Don’t engage with anything less, Aries.

TAURUS

Like the sign of Aries next door, you could benefit under this supermoon due to the Mars/Jupiter trine which follows. However, this will require you to leave your head space and engage with people in the real world! It’s no good dreaming, Taurus. This supermoon is all about the doing!

Whatever you do under this supermoon – which can supermax your public image and ambitions btw – do NOT judge a book by its cover. Be open, curious and seeking. Be seen as someone truly interested in others and everyone you meet. Your career, reputation and how others see you is what this Moon shines on. And you have Jupiter working away for you wanting to boost that all important image. You could find yourself interacting with interesting people – even VIP’s or those in positions of influence. It will be your openness which determines what you end up taking out of this.

If you have been cultivating connections for the wrong reasons, you could find yourself suddenly excluded. Doors either open effortlessly or get slammed in your face under this full Moon. Just bear in mind the Moon in this position wants you to experience social or even professional success. Or both. It’s all about the company you keep, Taurus. Be the very best company others want to seek out.

GEMINI

This supermoon shines on big dreams and plans. And your fellow dreamers, Gemini. You won’t be bothered with small minds under it. Bold strokes, big picture thinking, mighty visions and plans. With plenty of adventure thrown in. This is a full Moon under which to chart your course and set sail as it is in your 9th of learning and long distance travel. It marks a key stage on a journey. Real or metaphorical. Especially if you have anything in your chart at the key 9 degrees.

Others love your curiosity, your open-mindedness, willingness to explore and above all, ask questions. The thing is, you are genuinely interested, Gemini. Whether you are engaging with others socially or professionally, you ask all the right questions and the more you ask, the more engaged you become. If you are travelling under this full Moon, you’ll want to experience where you are like a local. This gifts you with something that takes you far beyond the usual tourist traps.

This full Moon dares you to go there. Especially if you have hesitated until now. You’ll also see very clearly if you have in fact, been getting in your own way in the past when it comes to those big plans and dreams. Or listening too much to those with closed minds. Seek out fellow adventurers under this full Moon. The journey you take with them could open your eyes to fresh opportunities.

CANCER

Full moons are always a very big deal for you. Supermoons – just supersize those emotions, Cancer! You are one of the signs who will experience increased sensitivity and vulnerability under this supermoon. It appears in your 8th house and this impacts your money, what you share and intimacy. You may feel exposed in some way and as a result, take even more steps than usual to cover up, retreat or pretend you are not feeling those feels! But this Moon wants you to own and feel them – and be honest about them. To the max!

Link to the ebb and flow of tides in your life. You have a gift for this as of course, the Moon’s gravity is what controls the tides. This automatically makes you tuned in. Now see key areas of your life as subject to the same patterns. Sometimes we get high tides, sometimes the tide is low. When we live in harmony with this, understand its part of the big pattern of life, we instantly stop labelling cycles as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ and simply see them as a natural flow in our lives. This also stops negative emotions from taking control. Fear, guilt, anger, feeling inadequate, being judgemental – especially towards ourselves, or feelings of powerlessness.

It doesn’t matter where you are or what is going on. It’s part of your tidal chart under this full Moon. Don’t judge it. You can’t control the tides. But you can plan around them. Where are you in the ebb and flow of your intimate life? Or with your money? These are two themes likely to emerge – a high tide if you like under this Moon. Is it time for Sexual Healing to quote the classic Marvin Gaye track? Long term relationships ebb and flow too. You can’t force emotions any more than you can force the tide to change direction. You feel what you feel. So does the other party. Just accept this and you’re instantly back in flow. Money? The same thing. Don’t judge where you are with yours. Now, isn’t that all easier than you ever imagined it would be?

LEO

You need someone to love. Or to be somebody somebody loves. Well, you are always the latter whether you are in a relationship or not, Leo. And this supermoon asks if you know this? If there is any yearning in your heart for someone to come fill that missing position, the way to get it filled is to know it already is. You are loveable and loved.

Yes, its a fabulous night for a moondance if you do have that special someone. We do have to talk about retro Venus, sitting in your sign, telling you this is about reflecting on love if you are seeking someone. Not actively seeking. And that includes knowing you are lovable.

Do however find someone to share the love with if you can. It can be your Ride or Die. That activity partner, collaborator, working duo. If you can’t meet up, just messaging or thinking about what you share is sufficient. It activates the love jujus and simply reinforces the truth that love is actually, all around you and has been all along. And will continue to be in powerful and transformative ways over the next few years.

Feel the love – it honestly doesn’t matter what form it takes. This includes self-love of course. But don’t force it. Yes, taking yourself on a date is a wonderful thing to do at any time – especially under this Moon. But only if it feels fun and natural. When you look back, whether you were feeling the love with a romantic partner or not, this full Moon will prove to be a pivotal point in your love journey. That’s worth a dance, Leo.

VIRGO

It’s quality, not quantity. Time taken not wasted under the full Supermoon in your 6th, Virgo. If you are socialising under this Moon, you’ll pick and choose your company carefully. You may prefer small, intimate gatherings in relaxed locations rather than big groups in loud, busy ones. One to one conversations. Time out for self-care and a recharge.

This full Moon presses the pause button in a key area. Perhaps with work if you have been flat out since the last new Moon? Or running on empty for a while fuelled with coffee, energy drinks and take-out? What’s your body saying? And is your mind backing this up? Time spent outdoors exercising or in meditation (and you can do active meditation such as walking), may be the reset you need.

Back to social you and scheduling time for this. And being discerning where you spend it and who with. Do tackle any concerns around loneliness if this has become an issue for you under this full Moon. This is the hidden epidemic in our society. And also it is nothing to be ashamed of. This can happen to anyone at any age, income level, relationship status or even to public figures. Loneliness is a health hazard. As we get older, it may take more effort to make new connections. But they are out there. It may require you to venture out into new areas however. And that’s a healthy choice. Above all, don’t waste your time and energy being with people or going places you don’t want to hang around. Opting out can sometimes be the healthiest choice we can make.

LIBRA

If you have anything around the 9 degree mark in your chart, Libra – it’s time to shine under this supermoon. Get yourself out of the shadows. Share, circulate and be seen. What makes you special? If you are a typical Libra this is usually a long list. Pick something and work it like a pro. You have moves like Jagger under this supermoon. Time to make them despite the fact your ruler remains retrograde.

Do stick to the retro rules as this supermoon is in your house of lovers and romance and you are seeking that special someone. Of course, if all you want to do is be in the moment with the one you’re with – that’s fine. But do keep in mind this may not go any further or be anything more than what it is. And sometimes that’s all we need.

Reclaim lost loves under this supermoon. Your lost creative projects and powers. Your ability to pursue something you love as opposed to someone. What makes you sparkle and shine. That old circle of friends you used to run with. This is a full Moon of immersion. It asks you take the plunge and give yourself over to pleasure. The pleasure that you have or let go of, Libra. Just like Jagger – you still got those moves!

SCORPIO

Untangle those roots under this supermoon in what is for you, the Moon’s ruling house. Which ones sustain and anchor you in place? You are one of the signs who will experienced heightened sensitivity and increased feelings of vulnerability under this full Moon. What happens when these appear? Are you content to simply feel them? Or is your usual reaction to numb them with self-soothing or else simply brush them aside?

You are a sign able to put on the perfect front, Scorpio. That facade can have everyone convinced. Even at times yourself. People may think you are as vulnerable as Fort Knox. When inside you are a quivering, squashy mess like jelly and melted ice cream. This Moon asks for emotional honesty. And bravery because admitting we are vulnerable, wounded or simply more sensitive than we let on takes courage.

Back to that untangling. What binds us and sustains us is all important. But look at whether you are being nourished by your present lifestyle choices. Or simply entangled in something that imprisons you. You may have had to compromise due to lack of options. Or the need to put others first. Or in some cases, not chosen at all as others simply assumed this is what you wanted. This Moon can not only lead to revelations around family, living, where you belong and what you do, but also if you need to uproot yourself, can show you how to begin the disentanglement process. This may require you to listen to your emotional truth and get it working in harmony with what your head is telling you needs to be done. This may also involve telling someone that you know what’s right for you.

SAGITTARIUS

You’ll crave stimulation under this full Moon, Sag. And yes, your seeking soul is looking for adventure. Strangely enough, you may not have to look far to find it as your 3rd house rules your neighbourhood or short journeys. Which is good to know if you’re not in a position to travel far at present.

News, invitations, familiar places and faces. You may not venture far but that doesn’t mean you can’t explore something new. It’s the perfect full Moon under which to try that new restaurant you’ve been hearing so much about. Or join that group, club or association. Just how much can you change up what you see everyday? Probably quite a lot when you think about it, Sag. Shop at a different supermarket. Try a different coffee shop. Buy a different product. Identify that rut.

This is also your house of business, commerce and the internet. Of conversation and communication. You crave the challenge of new ideas and mental stimulation. Avoid at all costs those with fixed ideas and closed minds. Funny thing under this full Moon, even if you’re staying local the world may come seek you out in some way. Watch for that happening. This could be the start of something interesting.

CAPRICORN

Something you have been stuck on or over, taken on board or even lumbered with demands a release, Capricorn. This full supermoon in your 2nd asks you lighten the load.

Knowing you, you’ve probably done everything you can to solve or resolve this. You don’t shirk when it comes to doing the work, Cappy. But chances are whatever this is, it’s stubborn and refuses to shift. This Moon says you need to just let go. And above all, for once, stop trying. It either sorts itself out. Or falls away. Simply by you ceasing to struggle and then seeing it differently. What may amaze you is that when you do, the world doesn’t come to an end after all.

Butterfly you wants to shed that hard carapace. But you have to allow this to happen. The energy of this Moon is either one of effortless abundance and attraction, due to the fact it appears just hours before a key Jupiter/Mars trine in your 5th/9th houses. Or else you realising you have taken on more than you should have.

The energy of the latter is very much the card of the 10 of Wands in the Tarot. In traditional decks the figure is burdened by the wands he carries to the point he can’t see the bigger picture. The castle in the distance which is now so close. The wands block his vision. But all the figure needs to do is set them down and gain a new perspective. That’s you, Cappy. Look to what simply has to be set aside or dropped now. Or you can ask someone else to take up the slack. You’re closer than you think.

AQUARIUS

So of course you of all signs need to check your chart for 9 degree factors. Especially if these are at 9o of your sign. Or that opposite number, Leo. Where of course right now, Venus is retrograde. Full Moons reflect their light back into the house in our charts opposite to the one they are in. So this really is about you and another, Aquarius.

Time to tune in and listen. Resist the temptation to steer that conversation in a different direction. This supermoon really does highlight your need for closeness and communication. And shows you the way to get that may simply be to simply do nothing but be present for someone. They may need your unique perspective and gift for reaching for a completely different set of tools. But first, hear them out and see what it is exactly they need.

The backdrop of Venus retro in your 7th at the time of the supermoon in your 1st could bring up something unresolved from your past. This may not even be with your current partner if you have one. It can be an issue from a previous relationship. Taking the time to reflect and even dialogue with yourself about it brings about a reunification of broken hearts. Or allows you to make a fresh start. You reboot your current connection, reconcile with an old one, or are able to move ahead whole and open again.

This applies to the entire gamut of partnership potentials. Not just your spouse, live in love. But double acts and duos of all kinds. Listen in to what that other half – past, present, potential, is saying.

PISCES

That special someone with whom you have created your own secret, hidden world ,of jokes only you two get, crazy shared dreams and even the ability to finish each other’s sentences – your link could be boosted thanks to the Supermoon in your 12th.

If you have someone like this in your life – and it doesn’t have to be a lover but that weird friend who is your kind of weird and who totally gets you – then there’s no-one better to spend supermoon night with. You are one of the signs benefiting from dynamic duo Jupiter and Mars in alignment across your 3rd/7th the night this Moon appears.

There’s a link which is either being created or boosted under this Moon. It can be with someone from your past, your present or that person with so much potential. Good at keeping secrets? You bet. Has your back? Check. Ride or Die? They’re your wing person. Of course, you’re on the same page. Seeking the You Never Had a Friend Like Me person? Aside from rubbing lamps, I do recommend you look for them around niche groups where people who share similar interests gather. Yes, that sci-fi writers group. Your local UFO spotters club. The group where they crochet the Pre-Raphaelite doilies you also love to make. You know what I’m saying here, Pisces. Your people are out there.

You could reconnect with someone you’ve not seen for years and pick right back up as if you only saw them yesterday. Or that intriguing new person feels like they’ve been around forever. Your freaks are seeking you. Seek ‘em back.

Weekly Astrology 31 2023 Forecast for All Signs July

ARIES

Get social

Set that sizzle to slow burn

Show those connections the love

All connections – that circle, group, band, entourage, club, association or network, may just require more work than usual this week. Under this week’s full supermoon in your 11th, you are feeling at your most sociable and wanting to connect. But friendships like any other relationship require TLC to function. Do show these the love. Make the effort.

But also – do keep the focus on those with whom you share that connection, resonance and with whom you feel your most authentic. There’s nothing worse than feeling you have to keep up some kind of pretence. In fact, that isn’t friendship but something else entirely. Same applies if a so-called friend starts throwing shade. You’ll know you’re in the right company if they make you feel accepted, energised and at your most social. Clicks and connects are in your Full Supermoon in Aquarius Moonscope.

Instant karma could happen between you and someone new. Including that prospective lover. Ruler Mars in your 6th trines Jupiter in your 2nd (1st) initiating a rewarding work cycle of project. But this week also sees Mercury in its ruling sign/house begin retroshadow (4th). As well you know, Mercury backwards where it rules or even getting shady in there, merely increases its capacity for retro-mayhem. Starting now as it happens. Yes, that social life or budding romance entices and ignites your imagination with fresh possibilities. Your attention is captured and even enraptured. But don’t allow this to distract you from what needs doing, Aries. You can’t spread your wings and be a social butterfly if unfinished business is holding you back.

In a nutshell: This week’s supermoon shows you the importance of those connections, Aries. And how they shape and fuel your future. If there’s instant karma between you and someone else, do take it slow. Go for sizzle – not fizzle.

4 Aug 2023 Mercury retroshadow begins in Virgo (6th)

TAURUS

Do it once and get it right first time

Reinvest in that vision

There’s no smoke without the fire of slow passion!

Long term work and career plans, family matters, your home and living arrangements and anything to do with your long term security will benefit from your focus this week, Taurus. There’s a need to balance emotional need with practicality. And to ensure the heart does not role the head under this week’s boss supermoon in your 10th.

There’s also that if you want it done properly, then you know you need to not just take care of it yourself, but give it your extreme focus. There’s also a shift happening around either your priorities or your resources. As in, you may shift one or the other (or both), and now invest them in something you may have previously considered impractical. But now under this Moon you see has real potential for the future. All it needs from you is repurposing and a fresh investment in terms of time and vision.

Others may not see your shift of attention for what it is however. Accusing you of being detached or not seeing the bigger picture. When actually the long term is your prime focus. You won’t be talked out of any decisions now. And that sexy strut and self-empowerment is your take-out as Mars in your 5th trines Jupiter. You strut like Jagger – but you get satisfaction too.

Yes, you have Mars in your house of sexy-and-you-know-it. Do keep in mind ruler Venus is now retrograde and this week Mercury also enters retroshade in your 5th. So, while those moves and decision making smarts show you’re smokin’ hot – go for the slow burn in love, Taurus.

In a nutshell: Strut like a rockstar in your professional sphere under the spotlight of this week’s full Supermoon. No time to be shy. Bring the heat. But when it comes to love do go for the slow burn.

1 Aug 2023 Full Supermoon in Aquarius (10th)

1 Aug 2023 Mars in Virgo trine Jupiter in Taurus (5th to 1st)

4 Aug 2023 Mercury retroshadow begins in Virgo (5th)

GEMINI

Declutter the past to free your future potential

Seek those who guide and inspire

Passion is a future-proof investment

Stuck in the past, Gemini? Feel like you’re going over old ground? Or are you so busy looking back at ‘the way we were’ that you’re not looking forward? By all means, use the upcoming Mercury retro and its shady parts which begin this week to review things. To tie up any loose ends on projects, place the past in perspective and also ditch anything or anyone that ties you to it in a negative way. Sure, it sounds ruthless – but if anything from painful memories, sentimentality or connections that drain you are keeping you from moving forward, it’s now time to break free. And this retro cycle has the capacity to see you claim the path which isn’t littered with this kind of clutter.

Yes, time to close a mental door and remind yourself that it’s okay to revisit the past on occasion, but you you simply don’t live there any more. Start the process with the full Supermoon in your 9th (1st). Which also sees Mars in your 4th trine Jupiter in your 12th. Under this Supermoon, focus on the new and only invest your energy in things that excite you. Explore future possibilities and put yourself ‘out there’ in some way.

See your life as a glorious quest – not limited to some path determined for you by others. Or have you allowed your own limiting thoughts to imprison you? This Moon breaks you free of all of that. Others who dare to do this, to live their potential, provide inspiration so do seek them out. Supersized dreams can be lived. More in your supermassive Full Supermoon in Aquarius Moonscope.

In a nutshell: You’re on a quest to escape what is holding you back. And to explore all the potential that lies beyond that, Gemini. Those who dare – not just the dreamers of dreams, but the ones who live them for real, are your source of inspiration. Seek them out.

1 Aug 2023 Mars in Virgo trine Jupiter in Taurus (4th to 12th)

4 Aug 2023 Mercury retroshadow begins in Virgo (4th)

CANCER

Stop the juggle and end the struggle

What you focus on changes

Act on what you hear or are told

This week’s full supermoon in your 8th highlights that feeling of juggling your resources and ‘robbing Peter to pay Paul’. Part of this equation could also relate to the time you have at your disposal too. You may just feel there are not enough hours in the day to get your job done. And then there’s nothing – whether it is time or money, left for you at the end of it. What about what you love? What happened to passion? Did you have to sell out time to feel alive simply to maintain that precarious status quo? Where just treading water left you in deficit in areas that truly matter?

Reclaim the power and control. That shaky, crazy, juggling feeling of having too many balls in the air all at once, will begin to stabilise as the week progresses. Ideas especially flow. Seek them out or advice from within your circle. Or go wider. Something you hear or discover requires a response but if you follow up on it, the rewards will be worth it. Yes, you can claim back or control anything you need when it comes to your resources. Time to concentrate on achieving a better balance.

You still don’t have the big picture when it comes to your money however. It’s all too easy to say watch where it goes. The energy is like the Two of Pentacles in the Tarot. Ask yourself if the figure is juggling the coins contained within the infinity symbol or is is flow with it? The answer is how you see your situation. And you can change it. A new source of income could be on offer but will require nurturing and effort first. Focus on what you need to make your world feel more stable and secure. Everything flows from that.

In a nutshell: Use the insight in your Full Supermoon in Aquarius Moonscope and apply it to any area where you no longer feel 100% in control or where passion is lacking, Cancer. Act on any opportunity to change the dynamic in your favour.

1 Aug 2023 Full Supermoon in Aquarius (8th)

1 Aug 2023 Mars in Virgo trine Jupiter in Taurus (3rd to 11th)

4 Aug 2023 Mercury retroshadow begins in Virgo (3rd)

LEO

What says Many Happy Returns?

New beginnings spring from the past

Supersize that love

Second chances feature this week as something springs freshly reborn from the past. Usually your birthday season is all about new beginnings. And certainly there’s an element of that too. But this is no ordinary birthday cycle with Venus backwards in your sign. This is the returns part of the many happy. Mercury also enters retroshadow in your 2nd this week. While Mars (also in your 2nd), angles to Jupiter in your 10th marking a positive path to rewards or reclaiming that prize!

Something or someone comes closer under this week’s full Supermoon in your 7th. It’s still close to your heart in the form of a relationship, a goal, a dream. So, something may return or reappear now – that career opportunity, that lover, that goal, that you felt slipped through your fingers the first time around. Have a think about what this could be – and also what you would do differently today as opposed to back then, if you get a second chance. Then be open as to what does return. It could even return in a slightly different guise but feel very familiar. Love once put on hold burns brighter again. See you Full Supermoon in Aquarius Moonscope for the skinny on returning lovestruck opportunities.

Doors that were closed could swing wide again. Remember – the universe issues invitations and it is always up to us whether we accept them or not. That’s the whole point of free will. But if you feel you missed out on something the first time, don’t have any second-time-around regrets. This time when the door opens, walk through. Reignite that dream and the love, Leo.

In a nutshell: Nothing says Many Happy Returns louder and with more sparkle than a Venus retro combined with a full Supermoon in your 7th this week, Leo! What returns or is repurposed shines with present day potential.

1 Aug 2023 Full Supermoon in Aquarius (7th)

1 Aug 2023 Mars in Virgo trine Jupiter in Taurus (2nd to 10th)

4 Aug 2023 Mercury retroshadow begins in Virgo (2nd)

VIRGO

Take a deep dive and deep clean your life

No more procrastination – just initiation

What you no longer need has no place where you’re going

This week brings a full Supermoon in your 6th (1st). And also has ruler Mercury begin its retroshadow phase in your 1st. Time for a pre-birthday de-clutter, Virgo. Deep clean your life. Don’t just delve into that closet – look around your entire living space. What don’t you use or even need any more? Sell it, donate it or bin it. But don’t stop there.

This happens against the backdrop of Venus retro in your 12th. So, what about those negative people? The psychic vampires or the ‘friends’ or even lovers who drain you or are happy to take but there’s no give? Then there’s that baggage you’re carrying. Negative thoughts, opinions and limitations you’ve taken on board. Bin those too.

Decluttering is probably the most powerful process we can kick-start a brand new cycle in our lives. And you of all signs knows that retro energy is the best energy for this. Combined with the action-initiating and freedom compelling trine between Mars in your sign and Jupiter in its ruling 9th in your chart (also on the 1st), you are prepared to get to grips with this once and for all. Out with the old to clear the way for the new. Which is what your birthday season is all about when it arrives later this month. You probably already know what has to go. But be prepared to get ruthless. Something or someone you thought was essential to you will show up in a very different light which leads you to realise you don’t need them either. Set yourself free, Virgo.

In a nutshell: Bin that baggage your carrying once and for all, Virgo. Anything from the items you no longer use, love or need. To those limiting thoughts or toxic connections. There’s a great soul clear out occurring this week. Ahead of a new cycle for you later this month.

1 Aug 2023 Mars in Virgo trine Jupiter in Taurus (1st to 9th)

4 Aug 2023 Mercury retroshadow begins in Virgo (1st)

LIBRA

What’s old gets a reboot

No more close calls – grasp the prize!

Don’t dream it’s over

Old souls, old connections and old goals feature this week. Of course, there’s your ruler Venus retrograde in your 11th of friends and the future. This is about reclaiming elements of your past rather than starting out on something new now. Especially when it comes to love, Libra. Do resist the swipe right for now.

The angle between Mars in your 12th and Jupiter in your 8th (1st), points to a resurrection. Especially as this occurs on the day of the full Supermoon in your sector of lovers, children and sheer audacious creativity. Yes, something is being reclaimed or reborn. But this isn’t about sentimentality. The fact is you are poised on the cusp of an exciting period of resurrection when it comes to a past goal of yours. At some point in the next 18 months or so you will be given an opportunity to jump back in. And chances are whatever this was it was a big part of your life or even your being at one point.

Perhaps things didn’t quite work out the first time. Or you got discouraged along the way. There’s a feeling of ‘so near but so far’ around all of this. But this time around, you won’t just come close, you’ll grasp that prize. This week offers you a glimpse, a preview if you like, of what’s to come. It’s like you’re being invited back. People from your past who may have been pivotal to this back then may also still have a role to play. The Supermoon lets you know the dream is not over. In fact, it may be an entrée to an even better dream.

In a nutshell: The vibe of this week’s full supermoon has a Crowded House feel to it. Hey now, hey now, Libra. If you dreamed it was over the moon combined with Venus retro tells you what you thought was an ending, was a fresh opportunity in disguise!

SCORPIO

It’s your path – define where it takes you

An arrival ushers in fresh possibilities

Make that definitive decision

Unlock doors to the future under this week’s full Supermoon in its ruling 4th. And do pursue closure and completion when it comes to work, contracts and agreements as Mercury begins its retroshadow in your 11th from the 4th.

You may move, be thinking of moving, or even people may move into your home – that family member, that lodger, that Airbnb guest and their arrival opens up access to new ideas and possibilities.

There’s also the Mars/Jupiter trine on the day of the full Moon. Stretching wide from your 11th to your 7th. Bringing your focus on to your status (professional and personal), career and long term finances. What elevates yet underpins your future. In fact, it’s time to give serious thought to all aspects of what you want that future to look like or be – from how you want to earn your money to your living arrangements – and who you share these with for that matter.

You could be faced with an important decision in the upcoming weeks. Contracts could be signed or you may need to commit and say ‘Yes’ to something which marks the beginning of an important new phase of your life. See this as an opportunity to lay the foundation for your future. For others, this may also involve the decision to let something go that you have come to realise has not worked for quite some time. No matter how much time, money or love you may have invested in it in the past, don’t be afraid to cash in if you have to. Sometimes making a commitment to our future involves the word ‘No’ as much as it does ‘Yes’. Or closing one door to walk through a new portal.

In a nutshell: Your Full Supermoon in Aquarius Moonscope shares some important insights around home, your lifestyle and your ability to determine the path you walk, Scorpio. This week is all about what future creating decision you make. Which sets the direction of the path you take.

SAGITTARIUS

The past is a country worth revisiting

How does that goal need to evolve?

If that dream isn’t coming true – big it up!

If excitement has been lacking in the present moment for you recently Sag, unlike a few other signs who need to let go of the past, for you heart-starting passion can be found in the past. Revisit those old dreams and goals now under this week’s full blown supersized, supermoon in your 3rd (1st). News or information could arrive related to this. It’s also your cue to share what your vision is. If you don’t let others know what you want to achieve, how do you expect them to help you?

This occurs the same day as ruler Jupiter in your 6th angles to Mars in your 10th. That plan you had for your future can be made to work for you now in the present. But you do need to update it and add a few revisions. After all, you’ve changed since then and the dream or the ambition, has to remain current. Fit for purpose. And ignite the desire to achieve it.

With Venus retrograde in your 9th, look to past activities you loved to do or dreamed of doing but never got round to. Or if planning on travelling, revisiting those places that hold a special place in your heart. What hasn’t changed is that you are craving more freedom and excitement and this reawakened dream represents that on some level for you. There’s a saying out there that if you dream is not coming true it is because you need a bigger dream. Expand your belief about what is possible and get ready to explore it once more, Sag.

In a nutshell: News could arrive under this week’s supermassive full Moon in your 3rd which shows you that something from your past deserves a second look. Or is very much alive and kicking. Maybe all that dream needs is a bigger injection of passion, Sag.

CAPRICORN

Only invest in what adds value

Stay cool even if others are shady

Explore alternatives

You’ll be counting the pennies or on something or someone under this week’s full Supermoon in your money zone. It’s all about your values as much as it is your bank account, Cappy. Do address any disparity here. And yes, rein in your spending if needed as Venus remains retrograde in your 8th.

In fact, the subtext to all this may see you feeling something is hard work, you are underappreciated or that whatever you do there simply is no pleasing some people. If so – stop trying. And if they continue to push your buttons, try not to react. If they give you no other option, please try to keep your response in proportion to what is happening in the present moment – as opposed to all the previous occasions they have been on your case. The last thing you need to to come across as the bad guy because they resort to playing the victim card. Thankfully, this won’t last.

Keep your cool if you can because the Mars/Jupiter trine also on the day of the full Moon, allows you to see things differently. Or offers a different option or solution. A release, opportunity or restoration of playful light-heartedness means you are no longer taking this seriously. Instantly defusing any tension. We are in big fat retro weather – or the front is building now Mercury enters retroshade in your 9th from the 4th. Alternatives beckon as well as release from tasks or situations that have come to seem like drudgery. Don’t for one moment fall into the trap of thinking you’re stuck, Cappy.

In a nutshell: Count the costs as well as the coins. This week’s supermoon in your 2nd is all about what’s worth it. And what no longer is. If it doesn’t align to your core values, then it’s not worth your continued investment. Of your time, money or most importantly – your love, Capricorn.

AQUARIUS

Beacons attract – how can you help it?!

Turn on, tune in, take time

It’s your summer of love revival!

You’re the beacon of the zodiac this week with the full Supermoon shining from your sign, Aquarius. Do keep in mind under it that Venus is retrograde in your 7th. Magnetic re-attractions and revivals between you and someone else – totally permitted. Just nothing new.

If you feel you need to take a break, now is the time. The build up to this full Moon may have felt pretty intense. But now you can stop and smell the roses. Focus on your existing relationships. Appreciate the love you already have in your life. Even that of family and friends if you don’t have a significant other. It’s all love and there is no ‘better’ variation of it.

Do listen to what your intuition is telling you. When we’re busy rushing around that still, small voice inside of us tends to get drowned out by whatever else is going on. But the fact is, it has something very important to tell you and this may relate to someone close to you. Or around something you and they share. So, that downtime serves a dual purpose – recharge and also tune-in. Above all, don’t rush things despite the call to action between Mars in your 8th and Jupiter in your 4th (1st). The past, especially when it comes to your roots, who you love, where you love, calls to you.

Think about whether you want to repeat it or write an entire new chapter. Make time for love – or at the very least, to think the future of it through, this week. You can enter a gentle crucible of change which allows you to transform the where, who and how as needed.

In a nutshell: That summer of love, 60’s feel, turn on, tune in, drop out for a bit vibe is something you need to follow this week, Aquarius. No effort required. Hot tip: If something has your name on it, it will return of its own accord. Check your Full Supermoon in Aquarius Moonscope for more.

PISCES

Do the details

Follow intuition, inspiration and insight

It’s all small stuff

Saturn in your sign is calling to you to become properly organised. So, is it time for some inspired moves to revamp that routine, Pisces? Does it support you and make you more productive? Or is it doing the opposite and restricting you or just wasting your precious time, instead? Have you fallen into a rut instead of the freedom that comes from being aware and adaptive? Do you ignore what your intuition is telling you? Or tell yourself you’ll make changes ‘tomorrow’ – which of course, never arrives.

The full Supermoon in your 12th highlights something you have allowed to drift or continue for far too long. Deep down you rightly intuit it does you no good. If this concerns your work – paid or unpaid, the Moon invites you to experience excitement and variety. How? Simply by looking at your day and seeing how you can make different choices. Don’t do things in the same order. Choose a different route to work or for your morning jog. Visit a new coffee shop instead of your regular one. Revolutionise your everyday choices and the rest of your life will begin to change in totally unexpected ways.

Are you failing to tackle relationship issues? It’s not a good time to begin anything new now due to Venus retro in your 6th and Mercury heading into retroshadow in your 7th from the 4th. It is however, a wonderful week to get to grips with any outstanding love business between you and your boo. Or even an issue in any other kind of partnership dynamic. No more drift thanks to the angle between Mars also in your 7th and Jupiter in your communication sector. Talk takes on a dynamic and open quality. You say what needs to be said. And are equally open to hearing that reply. Say it differently if you can. And change the conversation.

In a nutshell: Don’t sweat the small stuff. Saturn in your sign tells you it’s all small stuff. But taking care of it, and no longer ignoring your intuition, means that small changes add up to a very big deal indeed. Your Full Supermoon in Aquarius Moonscope shares the bigger picture.

ARIES

Explore endless improbable possibilities

Never say never

No more soul Band-Aids – just real healing

Chiron in your sign retrogrades this week. So, we now have Venus, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto and the object of improbable possibilities all backwards in the sky. And yes, throw in Mercury which is not yet at Retro 2.0 – that occurs next month, but is now in retroshadow in Leo and your 5th.

With Venus backwards and meeting shady Mercury (27th), please pay attention to any feelings you have about things that can’t, won’t or ever occur. Keep your belief in magic and manifesting strong! The more outlandish they appear, the more probable they will happen. This week says: Be prepared for an opportunity from the past to reappear.

Naturally, this is not the time to go seeking a new lover. The likelihood they are not who or what they appear to be is increased. Or you get ghosted once Venus heads direct and Mercury moves into full retrograde. The other likely outcome is you simply wonder what on earth you saw in them in the first place. Do steer clear of extravagances too. That indulgent splurge. Venus rules your bank account and your 5th is your house of pleasure and all things boujee and bling. Sure, you love it in the moment and HAVE to have it. But watch how it too loses its allure very quickly. However, there is a brilliant chance that something you worked on in the past can return to you.

Old wounds can be healed during the Chiron retro. Especially if these are linked to insecurities about your appearance, confidence or sexy self. As for the impossible event – that lover you never thought to hear from again, second chances, changes of heart (yours or theirs), or that opportunity you thought lost, could return. If you have said never again, this week and this entire retro cycle could see you saying never say never, Aries.

In a nutshell: Explore the realm of impossible improbabilities, Aries. Chiron retro in your sign lifts the barrier on what you think can happen. And what you never imagined turns out to be all too real.

TAURUS

Seek out that bespoke solution

What worked in the past takes on fresh relevance

Renovate that existing love rather than seek out the new

Your ruler retrograde adds up to you realising there are no ‘One size fits all’ solutions, Taurus. Especially when it comes to home and living arrangements. This week sees you seeking out something highly individual. Either in terms of your own home or space. Or a solution for a family member. It has to be carefully designed with individual requirements in mind. The bespoke option is the only one which will do.

Certainly if someone has tried to sell you the wrong fit – in terms of your place, space or even where you fit into your family dynamic, Venus retro in your 4th offers you creative solution within a grander design as it meets Mercury on the 27th.

The other message of the week is: If it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix it. This applies equally to those DIY tasks as it does to relationship renovations as Chiron moves backwards in your 12th. In fact, reconnecting to your roots, what worked in for you in the past or simply realising you made the right choice way back when may look like a U-turn, but if it feels right for you now, could turn out to be future-proof planning after all. Chiron always says don’t assume.

Venus has its own retro rules just like Mercury. These govern love and money. No matter what house it is backwards in, resist swiping and spending if you can. Mercury enters Virgo which it rules and your 5th – which rules romance, on the 28th. Mercury itself is slowing down preparing for its own retrograde in here next month. Best outlet for your creativity, passion and love, Taurus? Feathering that nest, creative projects and existing loves. Design what you have so it fits you perfectly.

In a nutshell: There should be no place like yours, Taurus. Every pearl needs that oyster. If your space or even your path isn’t a perfect fit for you, retrograde Venus allows for beautiful readjustments. And exactly the right fit for love.

GEMINI

Just how possible is that dream?

What you believe is always the determining factor

Stop replaying those old tapes!

2022-23 gifted you the Jupiter effect on your social life and your goals. Good times, expansion of your social circle and inroads to major goals are signs of Jupiter’s generosity in your 11th. Now Jupiter is working some mystical vibes in your 12th as Chiron in your 11th turns retrograde in here. The magic touch now includes some healing around your beliefs and how possible you believe goal attainment actually is for you.

What we tell ourselves subconsciously is what determines whether we get to goal. Of course, cosmic ordering and visualisation play a key role. As does taking practical steps to manifest what we want. But if those old tapes we are unaware of are spinning a negative message this is like being in training for a marathon and then running it carrying a dead weight!

Be kind, rewind this week as ruled Mercury conjunct retrograde Venus in Mercury’s ruling 3rd allows for some deep reprogramming if needed. You may suddenly be aware of the fact what you have been telling yourself isn’t supportive. Others could receive astounding, even confounding news related to someone or something from your past. A lover returns. You get re-offered that position you missed out on.

We are now heading into more retrograde weather as your ruler is slowing down in preparation for Retro 2.0 next month. Home truths dominate however as it crosses into your 4th on the 28th. If you are involved in moves or property matters, try to get them finalised now. Talking to others ‘close to home and heart’ and examining why you may have self-protection barriers in place – again, even unconscious ones, has a long term healing effect. You know you deserve to have what you want. And you know you can get it, Gemini.

In a nutshell: Henry Ford once famously said: Whether you believe you can or you cannot – you are right. Are those beliefs your real stumbling block to you getting what you want? Time to erase old tapes. And record yourself a new set, Gemini.

CANCER

There is more than one definition of success

Money talks so speak its language

Communication is the new rich

Are you missing the significance of all you’ve achieved, Cancer? Reframe your success story as Chiron shifts to reverse in your 10th from the 24th. We are entering big fat retro weather now. We not only have Saturn, Neptune and Pluto backwards, but a rare Venus retro in Venus’s ruling 2nd in your chart.

Just like a Mercury retro, Venus retrograde has its own rules. Venus rules our love life and our bank account. So, when it is backwards in the sky new love and splurging are not good ideas. Especially if Venus retrogrades in either a ruling sign or ruling house in our personal charts. As your entire money and success axis is being impacted by retro weather, this is a good time to work on how you value your achievements to date (personal and professional), and your relationship to your money. Especially when Mercury and Venus meet on the 27th.

Just where does the money go, Cancer? Also, are you getting what you want from it to feel rich? Or just spending on stuff which actually has no real value? Time spent with what is probably the most important relationship we have with the material world (and an overlooked one), turns into your best investment. What does your relationship to money say about you? Also, time for the truth – without any sugar coating, about your financial position. But without any emotional judgement.

If you are in a relationship, this is one of the most important conversations you can have with your boo. So, have it. Dating? Finding out what their relationship to their money is before you move in together is all-important. Mercury helps you along as it moves into its ruling 3rd. It too is now in retroshadow as it heads into full fat retro next month. Get talking about money and also love. And don’t forget – you have so much to give in all areas, Cancer. But the flip side of that coin is receiving too. Don’t neglect that all important part of what makes the money – and the love, go round.

In a nutshell: Don’t forget to celebrate your milestones, Cancer. Personal achievements are successes in their own right. If you’re ignoring those, you’re missing just how capable – and magnificent you are.

LEO

Have a what-you-love revival

Make that investment in yourself

Watch for birthday encounters of the past kind

You’re in a love revival this week, Leo as Mercury and retro Venus bump into one another in your sign. It’s the ultimate re-meet-cute. A close encounter that brings something back for you which quite frankly, never should have left. Aided and abetted by Chiron now retrograde in your freedom sector. This could be a return to somewhere you love, a personal passion, a look – let’s face it, did the mod look ever really go out of style?! Or you entering your new cycle with an ‘everything old is new again’ approach.

What could revive is simply optimism, self-belief, taking better care of yourself, showing yourself the boundless love you usually lavish on others. No, you are not being selfish or self-obsessed. Look to what you feel you have unwittingly let go of or lost. Do you need a make-over or outer revival, Leo? Perhaps the retro birthday present to yourself goes deeper than that mental attitude or wardrobe update. If you feel your birthday present to yourself needs to be a cosmetic procedure, then why not? Project how you feel within. That’s the all-important factor now.

We are heading into bigger, fatter retro weather. We not only have Saturn and Neptune backwards in your house of change but also Pluto in your 6th. Mercury is now in retroshadow even as it leaves your sign and enters your money zone. Once you have made that investment in yourself, do now rein in your spending and also do some work on your budgeting and increasing your income if needed during the upcoming cycle. Almost 40% of people now have a side hustle. Or is it time to take that revived roaring self-belief and use it to go after that pay rise or better paying gig?

There’s no doubt the cosmos has a re-gift for you that you actually want this week. That’s why its called Many Happy Returns.

In a nutshell: This birthday cycle promises many happy roaring returns. Or simply a love and confidence revival, Leo. Take the love you normally lavish on those you care about and focus it on yourself instead. The past sends a re-gift that perfect for the present.

VIRGO

Expect the unexpected

Rebirths and reunions feature

History doesn’t have to repeat itself

Changes you don’t see coming, unexpected developments, the blind side, the Joker in the pack, what you never imagined could possibly happen, re-runs and returns could turn your world upside down. It’s all a bit Monty Python and ‘Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition’ this week as Chiron retros in your 8th of rebirth and transformation and ruler Mercury meets retrograde Venus in your 12th.

If you have been seeking the truth – well, it’s no longer ‘out there’ but right in front of you. Suddenly revealed in HD and in a way that can’t be missed or denied. Unlike your ruler which retrogrades three times a year, Venus only heads backwards every 2.2 years or so. But just like a Mercury retrograde has rules, so does a Venus one. This one also takes place against a backdrop of outer planet heavy retrograde action. Pluto is retrograde and back in your 5th. And you have both Saturn and Neptune retrograde in your 7th house of partnerships. So, don’t be surprised if what you didn’t see coming concerns a lover, partner or close relationship. Venus retrograde in your house of the past can see that reconciliation or reach-out happening.

If this occurs, do take a wait-and-see approach rather than jumping straight back in. Mercury reaches your 1st this week (28th), but while it is still moving forward for now, it is in retroshadow. Next month sees it slam on the brakes and head backwards in your sign. You know the drill, Virgo. Things go backwards and forwards, stall, reverse or experience delays. So, by all means welcome back the past. But continue to expect the unexpected right up until September.

In a nutshell: History never has to repeat itself. Provided when it comes around again we choose to react to it differently. Yes, you can choose to re-embrace the past. But take it slowly and ensure a different outcome.

LIBRA

Who moved your mojo?

Revivals, returns, re-runs feature

What you’re missing turns up to remind you just how much!

Ruler Venus retro-active is always a really big deal for you, Libra. It doesn’t matter what house in your chart this occurs in. It simply feels as if someone stole you mojo.

Just like a Mercury retro, a Venus one has its own rules. Again, these apply no matter where in your chart Venus heads backwards. Avoid seeking new love. Lockdown that spending. Lucky for you, unlike Mercury which goes retroactive three times a year, Venus only reverses once every two years. Just keep in mind all retrogrades serve a purpose no matter how muddled, mixed up and disconnected they may make us feel.

Like the Leos in whose sign Venus is backwards, your retro-life experiences are likely to revolve around some kind of revival, Libra. Something lost can be reclaimed now. And you feel so much better for it. This missing factor may even be something (or someone), that you did not even know you were missing. But turns out to be an essential soul element for you as Chiron now slams on the brakes in your 7th.

Watch for surprising returns and re-runs that may turn out to be the missing element or big reboot for you. Who or what reaches out on the 27th – 28th, or comes spinning back out of your past may take on fresh meaning. Or else simply show you that mojo was never missing in the first place. It just needed a little heart-starting. Reimmersing yourself in a past connection or goal revival is another distinct possibility as Mercury heads into your 12th. Mercury too is slowing down for full retrograde in here next month. Look to where lights wink back on and take that u-turn, Libra. That big 180 you make now isn’t nostalgia. It’s a future reboot.

In a nutshell: Ruler Venus retrograde may make you feel you’ve misplaced your mojo. But maybe it’s not that which is missing? Something returns this week that you realise you can’t do without. Reclaim it, Libra.

SCORPIO

Reset that reputation

Don’t be afraid to knock again

Go bold or go home!

Whoever said you never get a second chance to make a first impression, did not do so under a Venus retrograde in their house of public and professional image, phoenix. And yes, just like your ancient symbol – you can rise this week thanks to a power meeting between retrograde Venus in your 10th and Mercury (27th).

If you want to be seen in a new light, make a career move you have hesitated over, try that path not taken or just change that public perception of yourself, this meeting hands you the ability to do that – and more. Don’t forget, Venus rules your love life as well as your bank account. Retrograde in your 10th this can see you claim overdue rewards. But also as your 10th rules your partner’s status – set yourself some new dating criteria and relaunch yourself onto the market as that keeper. And yes, you aiming higher includes updating that LinkedIn profile or CV.

Chiron is also retrograde in your work zone favouring more bold reboots. We are in heavy retro weather which includes ruler Pluto back in your 3rd as well as Saturn and Neptune in your house of romance, children and creativity. Getting serious about what you want from here on in should be your priority during this cycle. Mercury moves into your 11th of who you know. It too is slowing down and will retrograde in here next month. This is Mercury’s ruling sign so do keep in mind its capacity for mayhem will increase. That being said, your network and who you know needs to be mined now. See this as your test market for that relaunch. That ‘Remember me?’ or willingness to knock on doors again could see you being seen in a whole new light. By exactly the person you wish to be seen by.

In a nutshell: Craft your public and professional image and get ready to be seen in a new light. It begins with you investing in yourself and taking what you want to achieve oh-so-seriously. Your best impression ever can be made now, Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS

Don’t let go of your dreams

The old is the new love

Recommit to your vision

Venus retroactive in your 9th sees you taking what’s closest to your heart even more seriously than usual, Sag. Of course, this includes that big love – travel. But also includes anyone or anything that sends your soul soaring.

Unlike Mercury which retrogrades three times a year, Venus does so rarely. Approximately once every two years. However, just like a Mercury retrograde, a Venus one has certain rules which apply no matter what house in our chart it is backwards in. KISS applies here. Avoid seeking new love and work on your relationship to your money.

Venus retro sees us looking at who or what we love. At love lost and love that really matters to us. Especially in your 9th. Venus retro hones your focus. It goes from faraway love to close up love. Attainable love. Or alternatively, to the love you are not prepared to give up for anything. This of course can mean letting lesser loves go. We only have so much time and resources. You get more discriminating about yours. Returning to an old love – and this includes somewhere you have travelled to in the past is possible as Mercury and Venus meet on the 27th. The sudden reappearance of an old love can’t be ruled out either as Chiron now retrogrades in your romance zone.

Maybe you thought love has passed you by or missed you out. This can see that missed opportunity either in the form of a person or solution, drop magically back within your grasp. But it has to really really matter and you have to want it with every fibre of your being. What it means to you is everything. If it is merely so-so love, it needs to be let go of now.

Mercury moves into your 10th from the 28th. This is Mercury’s ruling sign so do keep in mind it is now slowing down for a retrograde in here next month. Big love revivals include what you love do to. Does your current path provide that along with the rewards that fund other big loves, Sag? You have the opportunity to reboot more than one big dream if you know what these are. And are willing to work this like a pro.

In a nutshell: Some things are simply not for sale. Like our dreams. But it’s easy to be diverted. This week allows you to reclaim a vision that’s simply too important to give up on. Hold the dream tight, Sag.

CAPRICORN

Find lost parts and rediscover lost paths

Reset your priorities

Slow is the new fast

Big backtracks happen this week. Especially if you have not been able to shake the feeling that you lost something essential to your soul along your journey, Capricorn. Pluto back in your 1st is responsible for part of this. But the major player is Venus making a rare retro in Pluto’s ruling 8th in your chart.

You also have your ruler Saturn retrograde along with Neptune in your 3rd. So, there’s a touch of not realising just how important what you have given up or lost is – until this moment. Of course the missing element will be different for everyone. But as Mercury and retro Venus meet in your house of rebirth (27th), brings a past passion or something you wanted back into prominence. And you realising exactly what’s been missing.

You may have allowed your sense of responsibility and duty to others get in the way. Or told yourself it wasn’t important. At least when compared to what others needed or their feelings. If so, you now see your dreams and needs as equal. And you won’t be about to neglect these again. Chiron also helps you reclaim a lost path as it too heads backwards in your 4th. What you never thought you’d go back to – you do and gladly.

Fierce, fearless you faces the future now. With what you need now firmly in place and you unafraid to claim it. Mercury is slowing for full retro action next month but enters your 9th (28th). Pausing for a reboot or to reclaim what was lost over the next few weeks, turns out to be a short cut towards a bigger, better and more satisying love – real or metaphorical. Do take all the time you need this retro-cycle. It will turn out that slow is the new fast.

In a nutshell: Putting others first shows your caring and empathy. But if you don’t see your own needs as equally important you’re no good to them anyway. This week says it’s okay to put yourself first for once. Fuel up on self-care, Cappy.

AQUARIUS

Love grows where your focus flows

No more no-go areas

Bust those blocks!

Venus is retrograde in its ruling house in your chart (7th). That adds up to not seeking anything new but in focussing on the relationships you have. Above all, with Pluto back in your 12th, please do not over-romanticise the past. Nor become over-critical about partners in the present. Neither is going to get you what you want.

Holding back what you really need from others no longer serves either. Chiron also making a retrograde in your 3rd, asks you what you are too scared of to put into words? And then urges you to look deeper into what you fear will happen if you do? Were you taught growing up there are some things you just don’t talk about? Or are there unwritten rules or unspoken no go areas in your union that you feel you can’t voice? Or are you simply afraid to talk about the elephant sitting in the room even though it keeps getting bigger? If you need anything from someone – just ask.

The meeting between Mercury and Venus (27th) removes any remaining barriers to honest sharing. And admitting the elephant exists is one good way to get it moving out. Someone may need to hear from you how much you do love, care and value them. This is an excellent time for relationship gardening. Above all, if you need to make changes to unions – no matter what kind, don’t just allow the status quo to continue. Revive the closeness and passion. But if something isn’t working for you, don’t use all the time and love you have already invested in it as a reason to continue. Especially as Mercury opens you to changing dynamics when it enters your 8th (28th). And don’t let fear of saying what’s on your mind, block the flow of love for you from here on in.

In a nutshell: Anything unspoken usually ends up blocking the flow in our lives. Time to out what’s on your mind, Aquarius. Others are not mind readers no matter how close. Do let them in on those feelings.

PISCES

Does making money have to be hard work?

Build on what you have

Allow your creativity free rein

Making money from what you love. Just what are your beliefs around this, Pisces? Do you think you are ‘selling out’? Or do you believe that making money is or needs to be ‘hard work’? Or that you couldn’t make money from doing something you love to do?

The term ‘easy money’ applies to Venus retrograde in your 6th. But its your perspective on this. Whether you think its easy or hard. Or needs to be. Yes, we all need to do what we need to do in order to pay our bills. This may mean working a job we don’t enjoy for a while. But retro Venus’s meeting with Mercury (which rules your 6th), on the 27th, combined with Chiron now retrograde in your money house, is an invitation to look at your beliefs around whether making money should be hard, easy or just plain enjoyable.

Some of you may be considering a side hustle even if you are not yet ready to go for the job that feeds your soul and spirit as well as your bank account yet. And if so, you can focus on doing what you love and the rewards this can deliver.

Use your creativity in new ways. Don’t allow those subconscious whispers around whether or not your work is ‘good enough’ to hold you back. Venus retrograde has rules just like a Mercury one. These are put your search for new love on hold for now. And pay attention to your relationship to what you already have. This includes your talents and skills. The new love embargo needs to be kept at the front of your mind as Mercury heads into your 7th (28th). Mercury is slowing down in preparation for full retro next month. With the ruler of your 7th backwards in Mercury’s ruling 6th and Mercury in retroshadow in Venus’s ruling 7th, this simply adds up to loving who and what you have with fresh appreciation. Love should not be hard work. And making money from something you love needn’t be either, Pisces.

In a nutshell: Shake up your beliefs around money and how you make it. Is something only earned if it requires hard work from you? Time to review your thoughts around what’s meant to be easy. Love being the other side of this equation.

Sending you loads of love, and may your weekend be filled with magic and wonder!

Tarot Card One – The 7 of Cups

Picture this: an expansive web of endless possibilities sprawls out before you, just waiting to be explored. It might not always be evident, but choices need to be made. Here’s the thing about options – they lure us with the illusion of free will, but guess what? Our unconscious and past patterns can sneakily call the shots.

The fabulous 7 of Cups brings you a joyful message that’s about to set your soul free. Get ready to dig deep and choose wisely or go all out, as that’s how to uncover fresh experiences, happiness, and total fulfillment. Say bye-bye to those painful memories of the past, and make your weekend choices different. 

Before digging up that old ex or a friend you have fallen out with, pause. Will they be the little snake, or will they rock your world like a stunning rainbow? It’s all about tapping into your intuition, trusting your gut feelings, and embracing that inner wisdom. That’s the secret sauce to moving forward like the unique and powerful soul that you are!

Tarot Card Two – Ace of Pentacles

It’s all to play for this week as a diamond thought or possibility dangles before you. You’ve been inching towards building your self-esteem and healing past hurts, and it’s now time to take care of the details. Know that you deserve success and that you have earned it.

Influencers, powerful souls, and wise ones are all drawn to you. Commit to your dreams, and fight any fears or self-doubt. You have come this far, and the next stage will likely feel simpler. The Ace of Pentacles assures you that you can and will do it. Ground yourself, look after yourself, and plant your seeds deeply. An abundance spurt is on the way!

Tarot Card Three – The World

Congratulations, Golden Soul!

You are on the cusp of a fantastic peak experience, a moment that will elevate you to new heights. It goes beyond being just a milestone; it’s a well-deserved reward for your unwavering dedication and effort. Take this opportunity to relish in your success, savor the joy of your journey, and bask in the knowledge that you have arrived at a place of fulfillment and triumph.

The World beckons you to recognize the graceful dance of life’s cycles. Embrace the ebb and flow, adjusting yourself to the energies surrounding you now, but know you are winning.

In this empowering phase of your journey, tap into your inner strength, wisdom, and intuition. You can shape your destiny and make conscious choices that align with your deepest desires.

You might find yourself celebrating this weekend. Your path is illuminated with the radiance of your potential. You are the author of your story, and the best is yet to come!

Tarot Card Four – The Lovers

The Lovers whispers that intensity is on the way, passion for life, passion for a project or desire with a person. You are travelling towards a love reboot! What does love mean to you? Are you aware that all the love you feel comes from within you?

We often project love onto others, but we have all we need inside us. How do you feel about yourself? Do you honour and love YOU? We become a major love magnet when we are compassionate and accepting of ourselves!

If you are in a relationship currently, then you are about to have a rekindling of love. Single? Then you are traveling towards love, make sure you don’t miss the love train, work on your stuff and embrace a fresh and different love pattern. Remember, you are lovable, worthy, and as beloved as anyone else.

If you aren’t interested in physical love, this could be a fulfilling friendship or a renewed passion for a project you’re embracing. Love comes in many forms. FEEL IT!

Tarot Card Five – King of Wands

Opportunity rides in, or you gallop off at top speed in search of it. An idea sprouts wings, and the most essential message of this card is to do something with it. Because no matter how infused with fire, passion, and inspiration it is, unless you put it into action, you’ll not see the fruits of your fabulousness. 

The King of Wands can appear as a passionate, eager, and courageous individual. Adventurous, swashbuckling, and unafraid to take a chance. Their wow factor fearlessness is real. Their genuine self-belief wins them so many hearts, admirers, and, yes, prizes. Or is this an part of you daring you to unleash it? This King says: Go big or go home. There are no half-measures now. Is this you or someone else? Embrace it.

Weekly Astrology July 17 2023 Forecast for All Signs

ARIES

It takes two

Thank the loves that have come before

You’re the creator/magician this week, Aries. So what is it you want to create? Because it takes two now. Destiny is in motion in a way you have not experienced in 19 years! The North Node returns to your sign while the South Node enters your house of opposite numbers and balancing acts – Libra and your 7th.

Time for the creation of new karma in relationships. This could be about your past, present or passionately potential love partner. That boss or collaborator. Even that opponent. Karma comes full circle because this is also the week Venus, ruler of your 7th, retrogrades in Leo and your 5th. It’s all about the past catching up with you in the present. And for now, it’s not about the new – unless you love ‘It’s complicated’, confusing and convoluted carry-ons. This all despite the fact the Sun arrives in its ruling 5th as well this week.

So, what you are likely to see is the closure of one cycle before you can literally get-busy creating the new. During this time, no matter your past partnership patterns, do give thanks to all those you have intertwined paths with. As if you look back on them you will see each one showed you a fresh facet of yourself and contributed to the magical being you are today! Depending on your age, this goes back 19 years. Or even 19 years before that.

Now you’re ready to work some magic starting with existing relationships including the one you have with yourself. And your spouse, partner, Ride or Die, long term working relationship or collaborator in life. It’s about the creation of who you are – and can become, in a close connection. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

You have time, Aries as the Nodes spend 18 months in a sign. This is not a delay so much as a reset.

It’s a week where something can be conceived – perhaps even that thing you consider impossible or unattainable. No more settling because deep down you don’t believe you can have what you really want. This week’s new Moon promises a fresh path towards satisfaction. Check your New Moon in Cancer Forecast for more.

In a nutshell: If you can think of it, you can create it in your life, Aries. This week is all about why you have the dreams that form part of your being. Believe in yourself – and the soul shifting power of love!

23 Jul 2023 Sun enters Leo (5th)

TAURUS

Dance with destiny

What direction does your soul call you?

Ready for a homecoming to the past

There’s no resisting destiny now, Taurus. This week sees the South Node leave Scorpio and your 7th and enter Libra and your 6th. And the North Node exit your 1st for your 12th. The house where karma, destiny and our fate are all forged.

The soul ultimately knows what its here to do. But are you heeding that higher calling or ignoring it entirely? It also knows where it wants to call home, Taurus. Is that where you are currently living or is it somewhere else entirely? You may not want to admit this if it is different to your current address – especially to those you live with. But it is time to own it if you feel the pull towards another place or even simply just another kind of lifestyle which you create right where you are now?

This week also sees your ruler Venus head retrograde in your 4th (23rd), and a new Moon (17th) appear in your 3rd. Time for truth telling and to own what underpins your life this week or where you feel your roots truly run deep. All aspects of path – from where you belong to what you are here to do. If you are lucky and this is what you have right where you are, then this week offers you the opportunity to enhance your security even further. But this has to first be created on a foundation of you being true to your calling. The Sun in your 4th and Uranus in your 1st triggers won’t allow you to keep up any pretences now. Your needs may be changing – and these include the need to be authentic.

The next 18 months sees actions from your past come full circle and catch up with you in the present. It’s a return and a homecoming. Pigeons of destiny come home to roost. All this asks you: Just whose life are you living anyway? Again, if you are happy with where and how you live, commit further and see this as a new beginning. If so – commit to changing it to bring this into an alignment. Especially if you feel you are living up to someone else’s idea of what home, family or living arrangements should be. There’s a need to have a spiritual thrupple – to marry your heart, soul and destiny to where you want to be or perhaps need to be, to feel whole. This is living with spirit, Taurus.

In a nutshell: The soul knows your purpose. Your heart knows where it or rather you, truly belong. Is that where you currently live? Or somewhere else entirely? Answer the call. There’s no place like home, Taurus.

23 Jul 2023 Mercury in Leo square Uranus in Taurus (4th to 1st)

23 Jul 2023 Sun enters Leo (4th)

GEMINI

You have entrée

Accept all invitations

Teamwork makes the dream work!

The Nodes are on the move this week. The North Node leaves your 12th for your 11th. Which puts the South Node in your house of glorious gorgeousification and attraction. You’ll register the energy shift as if coming up for air from a deep dive. Now its all about those friends, groups and networks. And your goals. Because when it comes to these and your future – teamwork makes the dream work!

Be a joiner. Say yes to all invites, Expand and explore far beyond your usual circle. The Nodes rule fate and yours is in the hands of those you know and meet. The Nodes move slowly and backwards. They take 18 months to move through a sign. So, see this cycle as a time to experiment and play with potentials. Entrée to a group or social scene where you and your thoughts are not only welcomed, but encouraged, is but one opportunity waiting for you to join in. Connecting to people with whom you can be yourself totally without worrying about criticism or censure, just adds to the air of experimentation that’s around you right now. Let’s get this party started, Gemini!

There’s more about the impact of the nodal shift in your monthly forecast. And plenty about this week’s new Moon in your 2nd in your New Moon in Cancer Moonscope.

This week’s other major event is the Venus retrograde in your 3rd (23rd) along with two tight catch-ups between ruler Mercury and Jupiter (17th) and Uranus (23rd), in your 12th. Expect re-runs, returns and revivals. And yes, anything you’ve been wanting to say finally getting said. Due to the new Moon energy you know keeping quiet no longer chimes with those values. What you feel in your priceless heart means that the buck stops here. The result is a slow, definitive and steady change starting this week.

In a nutshell: Groups and goals change your fate so this is no time to be a wallflower, Gemini. One topic needs airing as something may simply go against all you stand for and love. Do stay true to your values – and your heart, Gemini.

CANCER

Join the rich list!

Charge up your connection to abundance

Advice is there to be invested

No matter the date your birthday actually falls, the new Moon in your sign is the beginning of your new astrological cycle and yours arrives this week (17th). Time to take the plunge with something new – maybe a new look or change to your appearance? And whatever you initiate – go all in, Cancer. No half measures. This is a week when it is time to commit. There’s more in your New Moon in Cancer Moonscope.

Your ability to go the distance, your willpower, your ownership and ambitions are ruled by the 10th house. This week sees the North Node enter your 10th bringing you a path determining 18 months ahead from the 18th. What you set in motion in the past catches up to you in the present as the Nodes rule fate and karma. There’s no dodging the effects in this house as they will be plain to see. This is where the ownership part comes in. Chart your course – you are the proverbial captain of your ship now. I go into great detail about this in your monthly forecast.

The Sun leaves your sign on the 23rd and this happens to be the same day as Venus will retrograde in here. Do keep in mind Venus is retro in a ruling house in your chart so you will feel the impact more than most. And you need to stick to those Venus retro rules especially around your money. Of course, this is linked to career and status. Do challenge long term beliefs around money –how you earn it, spend it, invest it or simply whether you think it’s hard to come by or the root of all evil.

Money is energy only and the ‘charge’ – i.e. good, evil, easy come, easy go, hoard, save or spend is one we personally put on it. Money itself is neutral. The attitude you have to it could determine your financial direction for some time thanks to Mercury’s triggers to Jupiter and Uranus in your 11th bringing a radical new change to how you view your resources. Someone may cross your path who offers you advice or acts as an example to emulate now. Time to invest in your own future.

In a nutshell: New beginnings ask you to step up and own your path and direction. Your choices brought you to where you are today. Fortune – especially when it comes to money, flows in a fresh direction. Take control, Cancer.

23 Jul 2023 Venus stationary retrograde in Leo (2nd)

23 Jul 2023 Mercury in Leo square Uranus in Taurus (2nd to 11th)

23 Jul 2023 Sun enters Leo (2nd)

LEO

Prepare for soul growth

Retake the lost pathways

Get your glow on, birthday Leo!

A fated, dated, past tense birthday cycle begins as ruler the Sun arrives in your sign (23rd) – the day Venus heads backwards. Freedom, opportunity and wild, wonderful solutions lie ahead for you, Leo thanks to your new cycle coinciding with the Nodal shift which also occurs this week (18th).

Where you are meant to go, the lost path and returns of opportunities you missed feature over the next few months. The Venus retro will be a long one and you won’t be free of it until the end of September. So, look back to move forward and please, no new ventures in love or money for now. Do see your monthly forecast for a deeper explanation.

That path not taken, what re-opens for you, travel, learning, expansion and heady, unlimited freedom is the birthday gift from the North Node crossing into your 9th (18th). But again, this may take time to realise or that direction to become clear for you. You do have time as the Nodes spend 18 months in each sign. No hurry should be your mantra at the start of your fresh cycle, Leo.

The look back to move ahead flava of the week gets extra emphasis from the new Moon in your 12th which rules your past amongst other things. New Moons from now onwards are late appearing due to the Black Moon in Aries back in April. Hence, all signs now have late blooming new cycles. Take time to think about where you want to go from here. Clean up your past. Tie up loose ends. Indulge yourself in deep healing rituals. Meditation, yoga, creative play, therapy, metaphysical studies, self-help.

If you are a truth seeker in purpose and intent, then you are about to receive the answers or clearing away of old wounds that you seek. These may appear in strange and charmed ways during this Venus retro. You may have to say no to something or someone you would have said yes to in the past. Or vice versa. There’s a new world on offer and a new you. Take all the time you need to grow into both, Leo.

In a nutshell: Your new cycle brings with it freedom and the return of lost opportunities. It coincides with the start of Venus retro in your sign. Turning back to love – or what you loved, fuels the journey forwards.

23 Jul 2023 Sun enters Leo (1st)

VIRGO

Where do you want your future to take you?

Are you ready to be glorious?!

Surrender to your power!

The engines of change turn in your direction, Virgo. And there’s no resisting the direction they want you to head in. Ruler Mercury along with the Sun and Venus retro (23rd) are all in your 12th house of the past. Transformations can and will occur around what you no longer need, what stands in the way of you and your soul evolution and freedom, and anything and anyone that stunts your growth and glory.

This can be confronting as well as intensely exciting as you find yourself in a period where you can feel challenged but also empowered at the same time! It is time to look at how in control you feel when it comes to your own path and destiny, Virgo. This ahead of the Sun’s arrival in your sign next month. The new Moon in your 11th of the future poses the future perfecting question of: Where do you want to go from here? While ruler Mercury’s angles to Jupiter (17th) and then Uranus (23rd) may ask you to determine your course.

This is further emphasised by Mars’ key opposition to Saturn in your 7th on the 20th. Have you been allowing yourself or a situation to simply drift? This occurs just two days after the North Node arrives in your 8th of joint resources, marriages, divorces and yes, sex. It involves you and another. It’s a reckoning, an opportunity, a crucible where something is re-forged or else let go of. It’s inescapable and asks you deal with it or else remain limited until you do. So, do it because you have the fuel and the determination to chart your own course in love and other matters, from here on in. A rebirth is in progress now. Simply surrender to it.

In a nutshell: You need a plan to take you on into 2024. No more being content to drift or simply see where you end up, Virgo. This week asks you set something in motion. And retake control of the direction you want your life to head in.

LIBRA

Love the love you have

Slow is the new fast

What’s worth it is worth making the effort

Your monthly forecast takes a deep dive into ruler Venus’s rare retro in your 11th and the arrival of the North Node in your partnership sector. Do check it out or even re-read it. Because you are Venus ruled, the retrograde affects you more than any other sign aside from Taurus. Do treat the Venus retro rules as if they have been handed to you on stone tablets. No new lovers. No overspending or new financial commitments.

Stick with what you have and that includes the love you have of the friendship kind as the Sun joins Venus and also Mercury in here (23rd). You don’t need extras, status symbols or window dressing to fit in. Ditch toxic friendships, fakefluencers and pointless envy and instead opt for authentic connections, people who inspire you who have a real track record of achievement, and gratitude for what you have instead. Initiate this as your new, long term operating procedure and simply watch how the benefits rack up following this week’s new Moon in your 10th (17th).

If you are single and seeking, don’t think you will miss out by taking a time out from your search during this retrocycle. You won’t. The North Node in your 7th puts the South in your 1st. Love and partnership matters come full circle. The Nodes are slow moving taking 18 months to move through a house/sign. That’s how long you have to see what love has in store for you. The more relaxed you get about the process, the faster love seeks you out once the retrograde is over.

Changes can occur around work, wellbeing or your money this week. But you may have to consciously make these happen. Mars in your 12th opposes Saturn in your 6th (20th) while the Sun in your 10th opposes Pluto back in your 4th. With Mercury in your 11th activating Jupiter and Uranus in your 8th, this is about your money, your cohabitation, your income or your joint financial dealings. Where you earn your dough or bake your bread. Or even make your bed. Who makes it happen, Libra? You do. Do have belief in your own ability to make the right choice or to simply bring about the outcome you seek. Nothing worth having is achieved without effort after all.

In a nutshell: Ruler Venus is retrograde in your house of friends and goals. Plus the North Node lands in your 7th. Time for a new mantra when it comes to all connections, Libra. Love the love you have and have more to love. Gratitude powers your future.

17 Jul 2023 Mercury in Leo square Jupiter in Taurus (11th to 8th)

17 Jul 2023 New Moon in Cancer (10th)

23 Jul 2023 Sun enters Leo (11th)

SCORPIO

Turn up and do the werk!

No escape routes – just real freedom

Act on your heart’s truth

Be totally present as the Sun enters your status conscious 10th on the same day as Venus heads backwards in here (23rd). This applies to your career as well as your relationships. Venus rules partnerships and this week we have not just the Venus retro but Mercury also in your 10th, challenging Jupiter (17th) and then Uranus (23rd) in Venus’s ruling 7th. One particular connection asks you show up for it and make a choice – one way or another.

I’ve written a great deal about how the Venus retro will impact you as well as the arrival of the North Node in your 6th on the 18th in your monthly forecast. The 6th is your house of daily work, wellbeing and responsibilities. Across all areas. It asks you focus and be present. And as the Nodes rule karma, yes, you must now show up and do the work. This week’s new Moon in your 9th (17th) points the way to freedom, expansion and a higher, perhaps better path to take. But do keep in mind there is a big difference between freedom and escaping.

The week also delivers two aspects which demand you pay attention or do what needs to be done. Hence, there is no escape but there is forward motion if you choose to harness it. Your emotional truth about something matters more than you think as the Sun in your 9th opposes ruler Pluto in your 3rd. But where are you holding back on expressing this? Just two days before your other ruler Mars in your 11th opposes Saturn in your 5th (20th). Saturn can have us over-rationalising or simply ignoring what our heart is saying. Again, this is about showing up and this time for yourself. Be fearless and unafraid to do what you know needs to be done or even said in the present moment. But tackling that task – that’s what leads to the freedom you’re craving.

In a nutshell: The present is a gift. So, if we don’t show up for it we miss out. Long term shifts around what you do or are prepared to do, replace the illusion of escape with real freedom, Scorpio. Don’t ignore that emotional truth or rationalise it away.

SAGITTARIUS

Big up those past loves

Revivals, revisits and returns feature

Simply show up!

The Sun’s arrival in your 9th usually signals a period of full steam ahead when it comes to travel, learning, big dreams and bucket list plans. This year the vibe is somewhat different as the day this occurs (23rd), Venus also in your 9th makes a rare retrograde. Back to the future loves, dreams and destinations feature as opposed to you heading out into the unknown. But sometimes when we go back, things seem new again because we see them from a totally different perspective.

You will be on a journey to the past in some way. And for some, this could be revisiting somewhere you have been before. Reliving the love and passion or connection. I’ve written at length about the Venus retro and the arrival of the North Node in your 5th (18th) of romance, passion, fabulization and children in your monthly forecast. Do be aware with Venus backwards there is an embargo on new loves. But guess what? You’ve more than enough past loves to reboot and renew now.

The change is perspective comes from within you. Leading to rebirth and renewal with the new Moon in your 8th (17th). This could trigger across the board transformations with your work, income or health as Mercury also in your 9th, links to ruler Jupiter in your 6th (17th) and then Uranus (23rd). Family or money matters call for you to make a decision as the Sun opposes returned Pluto in your 2nd (22nd) while Mars in your 10th opposes Saturn in your 4th (20th). Because you see things differently, you don’t mind being called on to take the reins or make a call you might have found challenging in the past. It could be a central issue linked to where you go from here in terms of career, money, family or home. Expect debate but then the release you wanted, Sag. You got this so simply show up.

In a nutshell: Long lost loves or returns have you experiencing an old passion from a new perspective, Sag. This week also asks you show up and deal with something once and for all. Debates and decisions feature. But once done – you’re free.

CAPRICORN

No more unfinished business in love

History re-enters and repeats

All paths lead to home truths

A shy, tentative, fresh phase in an existing union or relationship begins this week with the new Moon in your 7th. It’s time to deepen and strengthen those ties but also to refrain from seeking new ones due to Venus retrograde in your passionate 8th (23rd).

This week also sees Mars in your 9th oppose ruler Saturn in your 3rd (20th). While the 22nd has the Sun at a late degree of your 7th oppose Pluto in your 1st. Now is your moment to do what needs to be done in the name of love. Or tie up those loose ends between you and someone else for good. It’s a week where new beginnings stem from closure and completion.

Sex needs to have depth and meaning. It needs that alchemical, transcendent element. If you have it, show your partner just how grateful you are. If you don’t – that will be obvious now. The question will be: what do you intend to do about it? The Venus retro along with this week’s key transits and Pluto’s remaining time in your sign asks you deal with this – once and for all.

Knock, knock – let karma in as the North Node arrives on the doorstep of your 4th (18th). It’s unpacking for an 18 month visit during which time your home, family, clan, roots, roomies, ties and even the place you reside, will enter a fresh cycle. Even as history around these from 18-19 years ago enters whether you like it or not. Renovations, repairs and even relocations feature as well as that family baggage you’ve inherited or are dragging around, Capricorn.

Of course for many of you this is all tied to your spouse or partner you live with. Your children or even extended family. Your heritage, expectations placed on you by this, could see you having to decide whether to continue to follow it. Or break away and forge your own path. This extends to your career, profession and chosen field. Are you a leader or following in the footsteps of others? Provided it feels right, this is your path. If not – time to breakaway and walk your own.

In a nutshell: Deepen those ties or else consider forging new ones for your future. Time for a homecoming now, Capricorn. To what you truly want and what, who and where holds meaning for you. Make that soul sustaining choice.

AQUARIUS

Discover what’s waiting to be explored

Revive the love – or the vision

Have that talk

If the North Node is in your 3rd (from the 18th), the South is in your 9th of expansion, expeditions and exploration. In the mood for adventure? Don’t stick with the familiar. Go discover what else is out there for you.

Your monthly forecast for July contains a comprehensive map and plan not just for the nodal shift, but for the Venus retrograde in your 7th which begins this week – the same day as the Sun arrives in here (23rd). And which usually ignites your yearly love and partnership peak. Yes and no now, Aquarius. Venus is backwards in its ruling house in your chart. So this means its retrograde influence increases. You should embrace the Venus retro rules – no new loves or fresh financial entanglements, with an almost fundamentalist fervour. Love revivals and reboots however – so on retro trend for the next two months.

This week has Mercury also in your 7th ask you not put off having that conversation any longer with a key someone as it triggers Jupiter (17th) and then ruler Uranus (23rd) in your 4th. Especially if this is a topic related to your cohabitation, home, family or just your security in general. The week also hands us a new Moon in your 6th (17th). Wellbeing, work and lifestyle matters require your attention. And even your pets if you consider them family members as most of us who have them do. More in your New Moon in Cancer Moonscope.

A situation asks you be totally available, unafraid and present. If not powerful and certain for where you go from here across the 20th – 22nd. Don’t be afraid to table that discussion but also to be open and listen to what the other party wants as well. Between the two of you, something valuable and even lasting, can emerge. Be prepared to strike that deal. You both benefit from the change.

In a nutshell: Head back to love as Venus retros in its ruling 7th. Choices and decisions around work, family and lifestyle compel you to take a fearless approach. There’s satisfaction on offer this week. For you – and the other party.

PISCES

Go with what the heart wants

Cement your values

Time’s up on a love that can’t live up to its promise

This week sees a new Moon in your 5th of lovers and all your passions (17th). And just days later a key opposition between Mars in your 7th and Saturn in your 1st. Combined with the Sun’s trine to ruler Neptune (also 20th), something is either hot or totally not. Uncertain? Venus’ reversal of direction in your 6th (23rd), says slow down for certainty. Even if something appears to be going well, be certain before going all-in, sweet Pisces. As you know all too well you intuit the other party’s potential. But whether they are able to live up to that is something else entirely.

And disappointment always follows if you discover they can’t. Honestly, it’s not worth the risk now. And you are worth more than taking that risk. Venus retro comes with its own rules no matter where in our charts it heads backwards. I’ve gone into detail on this in your monthly forecast along with what the North Nodes shift into your 2nd (18th) also means for you. Use this time to cement an unshakable set of values and self-worth now. Don’t just fall for anything. No matter how hot they look.

This could call time’s up on anything which no longer aligns to what you now know to be intrinsically right for you. Don’t be afraid to release or let go of it if so. And watch how that heavy feeling instantly vanishes once the decision is made. The new Moon really does show you what resonates with your heart. Passion isn’t something you have to compromise on or opt for ‘good enough’. You’re so much more aware of what you need and also what you deserve. The heart wants what the heart wants. And that’s a good thing, Pisces.

In a nutshell: Want to avoid past disappointments repeating themselves? Then take love slowly and above all, go with what your heart wants. If you believe having that isn’t possible, the remedy lies with your values, Pisces.

Weekly Astrology July 10 2023 Forecast for All Signs

ARIES

Take care of business

You know to ask, Aries

Go-for-it, unstoppable you crushes it!

You’re all business this week, Aries. Even if this involves family business. Your motivation isn’t just solely revolving around those ambitions – even though Pluto is now back in your 10th. Security and anything that offers longevity, sustains you on more than just a material level, is what you seek.

Your entire work/money/rewards sector is alight now. Taking care of business means taking care of those you care about (this should include yourself). Decisions can be made now around work and home with the focus on your 4th house of home, family lifestyle and what provides your foundation. Take it that you will make the correct one as Mercury opposes Pluto on the 10th while ruler Mars enters your 6th.

There’s no task you won’t now tackle. But also you’re in the right mindset to push yourself forward for that new role. Or ask for that raise or promotion. There’s a go-getting, unstoppable, confident quality about you this week that sees others take note. And also take on board your ideas and suggestions.

If you want something – ask for it directly. That job, that business, that assistance from others. Mercury’s move into Leo and your 5th backs up Mars’s powerhouse self-assertion in your 6th. But adds a touch of allure and creative zeal. A sudden opportunity or offer could require a fast answer from you on the 14th. But you’re in the mood to take chances and go further this week. Funny that the more you dare to put yourself out there, the more confident and secure in your actions you feel.

In a nutshell: You know the direct approach always serves you best, Aries. And what you are serving this week is go-getting, do-it-now, crush that To Do list confidence. Need something? Just ask directly.

14 Jul 2023 Sun in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus (4th to 2nd)

TAURUS

Look behind a different door

Build on what already works

Live and love with fearless freedom

Ready to change direction, Taurus? Portals of potential open up around you now. Are you ready to walk through one? Maybe you’ve always chosen Door #1. Is it time to see what’s behind Door #2 or #3 instead?

Travel, writing, communicating, teaching and studying, especially in higher education, business, the internet or simply opportunity which could send you in a fresh direction are hallmarks of Jupiter now in your sign. And backed by freedom inciting angles between Mercury in its ruling 3rd and Pluto in your 9th (10th) and Uranus highlighted by the Sun on the 14th.

Fitting that the latter occurs on Bastille Day as Uranus rules revolutions. What you are looking at is something that could quite literally revolutionise your life if you opt for that different door. Choosing different often means leaving our comfort zone. Lucky for you Mars in your 5th from the 10th hands you a fresh sense of boldness and daring. You’re willing to take a chance. Probably because sticking with the same old, same old, is no longer an option for you.

Of course, this doesn’t mean you’re about to give up what works and supports you. But you’re seeking something (or even someone), that enhances what already works for you but offers a much needed injection of life-affirming love and excitement. Mercury in your 4th is all about building on what you’ve already established. As well as contacts and decisions related to home, moving and even your career path. This all adds up to you heading in a fresh direction this week. Or opening a new and different door which leads to a new revolutionary phase of living and loving freer.

In a nutshell: Opt to discover what’s behind a door you wouldn’t normally open, Taurus. There’s a revolutionary opportunity on offer this week. But you’ll never know what it will bring unless you take that chance!

14 Jul 2023 Sun in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus (3rd to 1st)

GEMINI

Opt for renewal and freshly baked ideas

Channel that energy into life renovation

Share it!

You gotta share this week, Gemini. Whether this is in person or simply social on line. Ideas spark fresh conversations. And whatever dialogue you start sparkles now ruler Mercury reaches your 3rd (11th). Flirt, comment, post, apply, swipe, call, write, capture. But whatever you don’t – don’t keep it to yourself. It needs to be out there. And by doing this you set something new in motion.

Before Mercury crosses into your 3rd, it opposes Pluto in your 8th from your income and cash zone. The Sun this week heats up Uranus in your 12th telling you this is no time to simply sit on those hidden talents or ideas you’ve been soul workshopping. Use it or lose the opportunity. It’s not a time for hesitation or to keep it inside.

However, do choose your words with care on the domestic front as Mars ventures into your 4th. Mars doesn’t sit well in this house in your chart. It’s receptive, nurturing vibe just isn’t something Mars does. Also, Virgo is all about detail, attention and focus. Again, not really Mars’ forte. With Mars in here things get narky snarky. Either you or someone you live with is on a short fuse. If you have a family member who is hard to please even without Mars in here, then under this transit, nothing may be good enough. You may want to avoid family gatherings or inviting them over during this transit.

What this Mars is exceptionally good for is updating, renovating or moving home. DIY tasks. Clearing out the cobwebs. And by that I don’t just mean the literal ones skulking in dark corners. All that stuff you no longer need or use that’s shrouded in cobwebs of sentimentality. Mars says you not only don’t need it but it probably stops new, fresher and better things appearing. Mars gives you the strength to say ‘I opt for something better’ simply by letting this go. Buying selling, renting, leasing and having the courage to make that move could begin with a conversation. Don’t delay having it this week.

In a nutshell: Focus your intention and don’t scatter it. Ruler Mercury has you sharing or saying what needs to be said. On the home front however, you may keep the peace if you channel that energy into DIY tasks rather than giving someone a piece of your mind!

14 Jul 2023 Sun in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus (2nd to 12th)

CANCER

Talk transforms

Is it time to showcase those smarts?

Yes the world simply does revolve around you this week, Cancer!

In and out astrology rules apply this week. Pluto is back in your 7th at 29 (anaretic) degree so is at its most potently powerful in terms of partnership matters. Especially as it opposes equally anaretic Mercury in your sign. This brings a pivotal You + Me conversation or moment between you and someone else. Perhaps even a game changing one. This applies to past, present or potential partners. Including working and friendship dynamics.

Who you encounter will be as important as those conversations. But its dialogue, snappy, flirty, businesslike, idea-driven and above all, smart and confident, which determines the outcome and where you go from here. If ever there was a week to start a conversation, this one is it as surging, courageous Mars fuels you with passion and the creativity to come up with a great opening line as it lands in your 3rd.

The Sun shines on your social life and all your connections. As well as your entrepreneurial talents and flair. Hopefully you have no problems standing out from the crowd, Cancer. Because the Sun picks you out as it aligns to Uranus in Uranus’s ruling 11th in your chart on the 14th. Because of this, someone or something is drawn to you. Maybe you are the literal centre of your friendship universe and on this day everyone DOES revolve around you. But this is a day of realisation and attraction. Look to who or what spins out of nothingness and finds you. The future’s in motion in ways you may not yet imagine. Be ready.

In a nutshell: You may be the bright centre of the galaxy around which everything revolves this week, Cancer. Do make the most of it as this is no time to be shy. That great opening line? You got that going for you too.

10 Jul 2023 Mars enters Virgo (3rd)

11 Jul 2023 Mercury enters Leo (2nd)

14 Jul 2023 Sun in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus (1st to 11th)

LEO

Awaken to something better

Lust replaces lacklustre

Shake ups and shake downs shake you free

Mars exits your sign for your 2nd while Mercury arrives in your 1st the following day (11th). Before Mercury makes that crossing, it opposes Pluto which is back in your 6th. Lightning strikes and revelations, the sudden shift you didn’t see coming – all designed to let you loose from something that may have persisted for far too long, Leo.

Mars in your 2nd sets off a mini-rumble around your soul and actual worth. It’s the shake before the quake if you like. Here is something you have ‘put up with’ simply because you thought you had no other choice or option. Maybe it is a deep emotional wound you have carried around that has led you to make choices you would not normally have settled for. A habit or a situation you have fallen into. All the aspects add up to not just seeing the situation for what it is. But an ‘enough is enough’ moment.

Mars hands you the confidence to break away and also go for something better. That better paying job, that nurturing relationship, that new level of self-care and pride again. It’s a beautiful reset for you, Leo.

Ruler the Sun remains in your 12th for just a while longer. Ahead of your new cycle, a fresh direction or re-fired up ambition awakens you to your own greatness again as the Sun reaches across to Uranus in your 10th. Time to head towards something. Free of the past limitations. Whether self-imposed or by others. Nobody stops the glow, Leo.

In a nutshell: Expect a sudden awakening or the ability to see options you didn’t know existed for you, Leo. Ahead of your new cycle, you turn back up your glow. Sudden change is the shift you’ve been waiting for.

10 Jul 2023 Mercury in Cancer opposition Pluto in Capricorn (12th to 6th)

10 Jul 2023 Mars enters Virgo (2nd)

11 Jul 2023 Mercury enters Leo (1st)

14 Jul 2023 Sun in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus (12th to 10th)

VIRGO

Don’t let anything dampen your fire – feed it!

Does the outer you reflect the inner one?

Get your fierce on

Virgos and Virgo Risings – get your fierce on! Unstoppable you puts their best face forward as Mars reaches your 1st. Inner dreams, goals and inspiration power you forward now as ruler Mercury changes gears and arrives in your secretive 12th house.

Deep down you know what you want. Or what you need to do, Virgo. This week hands you the green light to take affirmative action on your own behalf. No hesitation. No self-doubt. With Mars now in your sign, your intentions and how you project these are all-important. Do pay extra attention to your image, face, look, appearance, style and overall brand message on-line and off it. Does it radiate confidence and also fierce self-belief? If you feel the answer is no, or if there is a disconnect between how you feel inside and the outer package, you will find taking the time to bring these into alignment the best investment you could make right now.

Just know that if anyone or anything is now not an accurate reflection of this, it will simply be released or exit your sphere. Shifts around friend and lovers – one way or another, can occur as before Mercury crosses into your 12th, it opposes Pluto in your 5th on the 10th. Who or what you attract is now a better fit with the vibe you are radiating. The Sun in your 11th fires up the desire for freedom or to break away into something more potentially fulfilling as it ignites Uranus in your 9th (14th). That surprise twist or opportunity is just the catalyst you need to make it all happen.

In a nutshell: Mysterious shifts and twists of fate are sent to you as course corrections if needed. What changes this week is set to free you. So don’t resist the process, Virgo. A new you is emerging. Ensure your image reflects this.

10 Jul 2023 Mercury in Cancer opposition Pluto in Capricorn (11th to 5th)

10 Jul 2023 Mars enters Virgo (1st)

11 Jul 2023 Mercury enters Leo (12th)

14 Jul 2023 Sun in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus (11th to 9th)

LIBRA

Let the real you out to play

Get social

Make that breakthrough move

Your reactions this week could take others and even yourself by surprise. Especially if people have been underestimating you. But maybe this is simply your authentic voice needing to be heard. If they didn’t think you had it in you, you will now turn that perception on its head as Mars reaches your 12th and the Sun in your 10th strengthens the desire to breakaway as it heats up Uranus in your change sector.

I could say high time, Libra. Changes could occur around work and/or living arrangements as before Mercury crosses into your social 11th, it opposes Pluto back in your 4th. The result could well be a new level of achievement, attainment or a sudden move which propels you off into something bigger and more satisfying.

Those critics could be confounded by just how much you can achieve. Your focus is laser-sharp as you have a particular outcome in mind and are simply determined to go for it. If someone has not been giving you their 100% in your relationship, on minimum input or cruise control, you’ll show them you are no longer willing to be taken for granted.

Scene and be seen with Mercury now in your 11th (11th). Mars in here kick-started your annual social and goal getting peak. Mercury continues the party once it lands. Expect flurries of messages, invites, gatherings and get-togethers and also new people to cross your path. Expect in the coming weeks past places and faces to feature in fresh ways. As could a goal you set aside and now see due for a present day revival.

In a nutshell: The choice you make this week may be a surprising one. But when you stop and think about it, it aligns with the real you. If others are confounded or mystified, perhaps that’s because they pigeon-holed you. You won’t be confined this week, Libra.

10 Jul 2023 Mercury in Cancer opposition Pluto in Capricorn (10th to 4th)

10 Jul 2023 Mars enters Virgo (12th)

11 Jul 2023 Mercury enters Leo (11th)

14 Jul 2023 Sun in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus (10th to 8th)

SCORPIO

If you stick with what you know all you get is the same

RSVP to that invite from the cosmos

Are you brave enough to embrace something bigger?

Ruler Pluto’s back and forth between your 3rd/4th houses will continue until the end of ‘24. During this time you will engage in transformational conversations, break out of remaining restrictions and claim your true path. Of course, this work calls for courage. It asks you leave your comfort zone. Either in how you habitually deal with people. Or simply what you believe is possible for you to experience, have or achieve.

Mercury hints at something bigger if you are brave enough to embrace it. Or even consider it, Phoenix! Especially when it comes to big, bold only-the-brave kind of loves now Jupiter is working away in your 7th. Before Mercury gets to work on your career, public image and status when it enters your 10th (11th), it opposes Pluto in your 3rd from your 9th (10th). Step out into something a little testing in that this may be a new and different dynamic, but if you say Yes to it, there’s so much more on offer for you.

Staying stuck, staying with the same honestly isn’t an option. Mars in your 11th from the 10th also emboldens you when it comes to both your social life and in going for goal. You’re a little more fiery, a lot more confident and a touch more daring when it comes to either putting yourself out there, or experimenting when it comes to getting what you want.

While the Sun remains in your 9th, travel, expansion, learning journeys, solutions and opportunities surround you. This is a house of your chart which never compels you. It invites you. It wants your freedom and your growth. But never pushes. It is always up to you to say yes. Acceptance sends you headlong into evolution as the Sun aligns to Uranus on the 7th. This is a journey or a stage you’re not travelling alone. Not that you need hand-holding, Scorpio. But love or a united purpose is the fuel for the next stage. RSVP to the positive.

10 Jul 2023 Mars enters Virgo (11th)

11 Jul 2023 Mercury enters Leo (10th)

14 Jul 2023 Sun in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus (9th to 7th)

SAGITTARIUS

Recognition and rewards seek you out

Get ready to accept

Next hot topic? That’s you!

Ready for your close up, Sag? You should be front-of-house, camera ready and waiting for your cue this week. Stepping up, being recognised or finding yourself in the spotlight is always a test of our confidence, self-belief and empowerment. Claiming rewards takes staying power and conviction. With a side order of faith in yourself. Ready?

Pluto is currently engaged in a back-and-forth, in and out dance between your 2nd and 3rd which lasts until the end of 2024 when it is over for good. Expect money, self-worth and communications to be intertwined. How you communicate your value and your worth plays a key role in what you take out of this cycle With ruler Jupiter at work in your 6th along with Uranus (which also features this week), that move on up could well occur around the 10th when Mercury opposes Pluto from Pluto’s ruling 8th. It asks if you are ready? Because this could well be if not now then when? moment for you.

Knowing you are the right stuff. That you deserve to be singled out and rewarded is a key element to this. And you enjoying the moment. Mars moves into your 10th of career firing up those ambitions but also ensuring you won’t hesitate in claiming the prize when it is dangled in front of you. This week’s out of the blue date for that could well be the 14th as the Sun in your 8th intensifies Uranus’s gift of serving you opportunity when or where you least expected it. Good thing you are poised and ready to accept, Sag. Bring the future into focus. And put yourself in the picture.

In a nutshell: You’re the fast company everyone wants to move with or be seen with this week. News or an offer could put you centre stage. Or you get singled out for special focus and attention. Don’t doubt it’s your turn now, Sag!

CAPRICORN

A key conversation brings a new era

Fierce, fiery freedom beckons

Is something too good to refuse, Cappy?

One of those weeks where change offers you a seductive alterative to how you visualised something working out. The thing about our imaginations is: the universe can always dream something better. This week may show you that so open your mind to possibilities, Cappy!

Sweet soul, you’ve been through transformative and testing times with Pluto making a once-in-a-lifetime transit of your sign. You’ve been forged in the fires of transformation. Freshly formed. You are different. Your core connections are different. And what you want from others now looks vastly different than when this began. You are now in the end game of this. But for the moment, Pluto is back in your 1st. Don’t worry it will be gone for good by 2025. Never to return. For now, a key conversation or even ‘Hello’ leads to a shift in an existing relationship or has the power to usher in an important new one as Mercury in your 7th opposes Pluto on the 10th.

Something fiery, freeing which ignites your imagination or fuels desire could entice you to change course and seek out something different. That’s the heat and seduction of Mars landing in your 9th. Strangely, you are not being impulsive if you do decide to opt for that different choice. You will consider it carefully but come to the conclusion it’s just simply right for who you are right now. Not who you were.

Sure, others may not understand your process. But to you it’s the obvious choice. Again, even if it looks different. Change is in the air as Mercury lands in Pluto’s ruling 8th (11th). But sudden, surprising attractions, offers and solutions make this a seductive week which just wants you to take the plunge in some way. With Jupiter also in your 5th of heady, sensual pleasure and love – how can you refuse, Capricorn?

In a nutshell: Someone may make you an offer you can’t refuse this week. It’s a heady, seductive decision. On the surface, it may seem out of character to others. But you know what you want – or need, Capricorn. And that’s all that matters.

AQUARIUS

Clean out those closets

Set new priorities

You dictate where life flows from here

With Pluto back in your 12th and Mars entering your 8th this week, you are in warrior spirit mode when it comes to going for what you want. You cannot change your past. But one thing Pluto in your 12th has taught you as it has cleaned out those closets is you can use it to ensure your future looks very different.

Pluto will continue its back and forth between your 12th and your sign until the start of ‘25 when it exits your 12th for good. During this time you will be working with any residue remaining. And also simply determined to ensure your past does not repeat itself. What Pluto should have handed you as you confront those shadows, is the knowledge you have the power to direct how that future unfolds. You may be very focussed on your resources this week – how you use these and how to increase them.

Work and wellbeing, your base, your path, security and satisfaction all form facets of the future picture you are creating. Keep your focus on these as these are the areas right now you have the greatest capacity to change. Partnerships – existing and potential, now begin to come into focus as part of this as Mercury switches signs on the 11th landing in your 7th. Get talking to that significant other, look at how your criteria needs to evolve when seeking a mate if you are single, or make that application for that job. Don’t stand still. Use your power.

Ruler Uranus is ready with that boost as it aligns to the Sun in your wellbeing sector on the 14th. Perhaps placing information, insight or an opportunity to move into something better suited for you. Clear out those final cobwebs, Aquarius. And let the future start flowing.

In a nutshell: How has that love criteria changed, Aquarius? The qualities you value in a mate have shifted. Along with that, time to clear out any remaining cobwebs when it comes to your past. The future gets rebooted this week in present time.

PISCES

Let go and attract

Go where passion flows

Thank your lucky stars!

The best stars of the week belong to you and fellow water sign of Cancer, Pisces. Time to dance with the rhythm of the cosmos. Especially as you have the Sun in its ruling 5th in your chart. Turning up the heat on attraction and hedonistic pleasure.

Above all, this week wants you to get out of your own way. And ditch any cares or concerns around what others may think. The only real failure is that of not daring to try in the first place. So, don’t allow fears of failure to stop you in your tracks. Enticing and inviting people, powerful events and opportunities swirl around you as Mercury in your 5th sits opposite Pluto at the cosmic dinner table on the 10th. The same day sees Mars land in your 7th and passions run high. You may see clearly what (or who!) you’ve been missing in your life. So, when it appears, don’t hesitate or second guess yourself. But if it no longer gets your pulse racing maybe its time to go in a new direction.

Luck favours the brave and daring now. So do make your move, Pisces. Again, this requires confidence and the ability to simply act on faith and go in the direction your heart is tugging you. Without worrying too much about where you end up.

Your passions are your barometer and also the beat to which you need to dance, Pisces. Mercury’s arrival in what is its ruling house on the 11th asks you also direct that passion into self-care and what you do. The week’s lucky star turn on the 14th features a breathtaking tango between the Sun and Uranus in your 3rd. If news or an invitation gets your spirit moving and that pulse pumping – that’s your cue to simply abandon cares and go with it.

In a nutshell: Work that luck factor this week as the planets shine on effortless flow and right place, right time and most importantly, right mindset, Pisces. Passion is both your fuel and your compass. Use it to attract.
