Dangerous Liasons

Practical issues come more strongly into focus this week with the Sun and Mercury in the sign of Taurus. Matters concerning personal income take on greater significance and you are motivated to plan for the future. The tendency to be tempted by greater risk is possible so fight back any urge to go to extremes. Patience is the only virtue, so be methodical and stick to a conservative approach.

Jupiter and Saturn although in retrograde motion are in exact trine. Speak clearly and precisely about your expectations and others will not confuse your kindness for weakness. Plans move along according to schedule so stay active and you will obtain the results you are looking for. Venus trine Neptune puts you in a whimsical mood. This is a nice change from the previous months. Enjoy the lack of pressure to perform.

Mars conjunct Uranus in Pisces lends itself to chaotic and explosive emotions. Don’t be too outspoken or this may set off a chain of negative reactions. There is a strong undercurrent that will churn up unexpected feelings that you may not be in touch with. This is a positive development as it will allow you to make necessary adjustments to your personality.

The Heart has Reasons that Reason doesn’t Know

The Sun just entered Taurus where practical matters come to the forefront. Sources of income now come under scrutiny, and you might start to consider other methods of bolstering your personal income. Be creative, and you will actually start to enjoy the many varied streams of income that you can get coming your way. Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn form a grand trine in fire and this has an insulating effect on your thinking. Try to think out of the box. Look at things in a new way.

Mars is approaching the conjunction with Uranus and this creates an on and off feeling when it comes to your energy level. You feel fired up and ready to go one minute and tired the next. This will pass quickly. This is a temporary effect of the present planetary configurations. It is not something to be concerned about.

The week begins with the Moon in Cancer which sets the background. This results in moodiness which is underlying many of your feelings. This again is not a lasting tone. Things will come into focus all of a sudden and you will be on to some new and exciting adventures. Plan something entertaining, something that will help you unwind and relax.

A Winding Road

This week is filled with unexpected twists and turns. It makes everything seem rather tentative. It is as if we can’t get our feet firmly on the ground. Sudden expansion and contraction of ideas is necessary to illustrate the evolution of our daily life. We are making progress on many fronts but it is difficult to appreciate how long it takes to get concrete results. It is tedious and labor intensive.

Don’t rely on others to tie up loose ends. Take responsibility yourself as others seem preoccupied with their own agendas. It is in putting these final matters to rest that we can expect some unusual and uplifting forces to carry us along our path. We are engaging the natural powers to aid us in constructing our future. This can lead to effortless advances without struggle.

The Sun trine Pluto gives this week some real substance. Slap yourself, just to make sure that you are on planet earth. Saturn goes direct at the end of the week so plans that have been on the back burner can be brought to full boil. Use spirit and opportunity to boost your level of enthusiasm. Success is just steps away.

Fight Fire With Fire

The week begins with the grand fire trine of Sun in Aries, Jupiter in Sagittarius and Saturn in Leo. This cooperation of planetary energy is bound to be released in a spectacular way. It is as if the expansion and contraction of energy is stabilized and focused by the Sun. Use this time to do tasks that have been particularly difficult to do and follow up with any matters that have been left unfinished. Timing is everything, so now is the time to capitalize on an opportunity that may not come again. Take action.

Your imagination is likely to be very active at this time. You are probably having some very vivid dreams that you wake up and remember briefly. We usually work out some problems during sleep that we are not conscious of during our waking hours. These night visions are good to analyze as they may reveal some of the hidden aspects of our own personality. Don’t go overboard in your analysis as this could lead to paranoia.

With the approaching square between Mercury and Pluto, try to have a moderate reaction to others. It would be easy for someone to over react causing a wave of unpleasantness to wash over your environment. By not strongly reacting yourself, you force the others to be balanced.

Overall, this will be a very lively week with some surprises that will be refreshing. New faces on the scene will spice things up in your personal life. Keep your eye on the horizon.

Keep Your Friends Close & Your Enemies Closer

Look out this week or you might be seeing stars, literally. Moon square Pluto and Uranus conjunct Mercury sets off some real sparks. You know what they say, “when two are fighting, the one who gets in the middle gets hit over the head.” Stay out of other people’s domestic disputes lest they let you have it.

Mars has just passed the conjunction with Neptune in Aquarius, so now is the time to get a handle on just how your social life and financial life are coming together. Many pretenses will be dropped and you can see what is really happening. There will be a little less misinformation circulating. Clarity will be forthcoming.

Jupiter goes retrograde this week so you may have to wait longer than anticipated for a move you plan to make. Any offers will likely be held up in red tape and won’t manifest until sometime in August. In the meantime, consider your other options and decide if your intended expansion will serve your true purpose.

Other possibilities that you haven’t considered are in store for you. Maybe another possibility will work better where your future goals are concerned. Expect a coalition of circumstances to change some plans that you may have thought were set in stone.
