ARIES
In terms of a period of major planetary shifts that will have changed the dynamics of the year itself by the time it completes next Friday, we are just nearing the halfway point when we move into the new week. It began 10 days earlier when Mars returned to your home and family sector for the first time in two years. This is the start of a three month push that will invest some real energy into home, family and/or property matters. The two shifts this week are more mundane, with Mercury's departure from your income sector on Tuesday, Venus' over the weekend and their return to your communication sector something that happens at around this time every year. The biggest shift will be when Jupiter leaves your friendship sector and returns to a nostalgic part of your chart, beginning the wind down of your current personal 12 month lunar cycle next week. The Moon will make that same shift this week, giving you a practice run on what lies ahead.
TAURUS
Mercury, who returned to Taurus just a day before the Sun will leave on Tuesday, just two days into your birthday month and new solar year. Mercury will only spend 15 days in your sign this year but this is long enough to get your head in the game and around your options. However, because your birthday month still has over two weeks to run, Venus won't leave until the weekend and there is a New Moon next week, it is too soon to cement your game plan and resolutions for the coming year. Instead, this allows you to keep your mind and your options open. Meanwhile, while Mercury will only spend 15 days in Taurus this year, when he returns to your income sector on Tuesday it is to begin an over two month visit. It is a retrograde turn later in the month that will not only keep Mercury here but just as Saturn is turning retrograde in your career sector as well. The two will work as a team over the coming months and while Jupiter will leave your career sector next week, things will continue to evolve.
GEMINI
This is a week when the lines between the past, present and future begin to blur, with a chance to have one foot in the past, another in the future but with your mind anchored in the moment. By the time Mercury, your ruling planet leaves a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart and returns to Gemini on Tuesday, you are only two weeks into the month long wind down of your old solar year, something that will continue until later in the month. With the job of closing old doors still underway and Venus not ending her nostalgic trip down memory lane until the weekend, the past is still very much alive. However, Mercury returns to Gemini just 11 days after Mars left, finding that there are already trails forged and the job of opening new doors already well underway weeks before your birthday month and new solar year is due to begin. Meanwhile, while Jupiter is working to make the most of his final week in an adventurous part of your chart he is also preparing for his game changing return to your career sector next week.
CANCER
The week not only begins with the Moon in your relationship sector but just as Mercury, the planet of communication is spending his last full day in your friendship sector. It was their friendly aspect over the weekend that helped to compound Mercury's friendly aspect to Pluto, in his first full week in retrograde motion in your relationship sector. While Mercury will leave on Tuesday, this sets the scene for what will continue to be a good week for friendship and relationship building. Meanwhile, the Moon will go on to have a significant impact on two very different areas of your chart. Returning to your financial sector in the early hours of the week, the Moon will fuel your financial instincts and imagination for the last time before Saturn turns retrograde here and before Jupiter leaves next week. Yet just as important will be the Moon's return to an adventurous part of your chart on Wednesday. These adventurous lunar vibes are a taste of things to come, ahead of Jupiter's return next week for the first time in over a decade.
LEO
The Moon is moving through a critical part of the heavens this week, making what are ordinary monthly visits a lot more significant. This began over the weekend, with the Moon's return to your work sector for the first time since Pluto's retrograde turn here last week but also the last before Mercury leaves your career sector on Tuesday and Venus over the weekend. Just as significant is the Moon's visit to your relationship sector from Monday to Wednesday, with a chance to become more emotionally engaged for the last time before Saturn's retrograde turn here later in the month and before Jupiter leaves next week. On Wednesday the Moon will move into your financial sector, with a chance to fuel your financial instincts and imagination for the last time before Jupiter's game changing return next week. Even the Moon's return to an adventurous part of your chart on Friday is more than just a chance to embrace the weekend spirit, returning just as Ceres is helping you to finalise your bucket list.
VIRGO
This is a week where there are three main undercurrents, each made up of a selection of planetary influences but all being impacted by the Moon at different points in the week. Those three undercurrents are what is happening in a playful and adventurous part of your chart, as well as on the job and career fronts and finally on the friendship and relationship building fronts. While the Moon will leave a playful part of your chart on Monday, this first visit since Pluto's retrograde turn here last week and friendly aspect to the planets in an adventurous part of your chart will leave behind something that will continue to evolve. Meanwhile, the Moon's return to your work sector from Monday to Wednesday will not only give you an intuitive read on work and job matters during Jupiter's last full week here but as Mercury returns to your career sector on Tuesday. It is on Wednesday that the Moon will return for its first visit to your friendship sector since Mars' return to your relationship sector.
LIBRA
This is a week where what is happening shouldn't be possible but it is. What you have is a rise in energy on the playful and adventurous fronts at the same time that there is something exciting building on the job and career fronts. With both sides of life's fence not only intensifying but players swapping sides, the stars aren't so much competing with each other but are collaborating. By the time Mercury returns to an adventurous part of your chart on Tuesday Mars has only been gone for 11 days and with Jupiter moving into his final 10 days in a playful part at the same time, this will create a surge on both fronts. Yet already Mars is in your career sector, with the Moon's return to your work sector on Wednesday a chance to start lining up for lucky Jupiter's return to your work sector next week. With Saturn holding the seat warm until Jupiter returns to a playful part of your chart in July, there is a strong focus on keeping both sides active. Life not only can be a balance between work and play it needs to be.
SCORPIO
The Moon is making a habit of finding itself in the right place at the right time this week, as opposed to last week where it spent most of the time in the wrong place. The week begins with the Moon not only wrapping up its monthly visit to your communication sector but its first since Pluto's retrograde turn here. What makes the timing auspicious is that with Mercury, the planet of communication leaving your relationship sector on Tuesday, the Moon has been on hand to make his final days count. It also means that by the time Mercury returns to your financial sector on Tuesday, the Moon is already in your home and family sector, where there is a friendly aspect between the planets on both fronts. This is Jupiter's final week in your home and family sector, with support from Mercury on Tuesday and from Venus over the weekend, helping to make it count. Meanwhile, the Moon will not only return to a playful part of your chart on Wednesday but will form a friendly aspect to Mars, for the first time since his return to an adventurous part.
SAGITTARIUS
The Moon is not only moving through a heavily occupied part of the sky this week but the part where there are not only some big changes happening but will draw in support from and from planets in other areas. It began over the weekend when the Moon not only returned for its first visit to your income sector since Pluto's retrograde turn here last week but before Mercury leaves your work sector on Tuesday and Venus over the weekend. The Moon will leave in the early hours of the week but Venus and Pluto will go on to make this a good week for income and job matters. Meanwhile, the Moon will be in your communication sector by the time Mercury, the planet of communication returns to your relationship sector on Tuesday. With Jupiter leaving your communication sector next week but Mercury here to stay, this is the start of a new chapter on the communication and relationship fronts. By the end of the month, the doors will be open to the past and second chances on both fronts.
CAPRICORN
While the Moon is just leaving Capricorn as you move into the new week, having spent the weekend here this will allow you to begin the week with your intuition, instincts and imagination engaged. This was the Moon's first visit since Pluto's retrograde turn in your sign last week, with a chance to check in and especially with the better view that you now have of the rear view mirror. The Moon has also given the planets in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart a boost, including Mercury who will leave on Tuesday and Venus, the planet of love over the weekend. By the time Mercury returns to your work sector on Tuesday, taking over from where Mars left off 11 days earlier, the Moon will be in your income sector. This will ensure your nose for money is sharp as Mercury begins a new wave of activity on the job front but also in time to make the most of Jupiter's last full week in your income sector. On Wednesday the Moon will return to your communication sector, for the first time since Mars' return to your relationship sector.
AQUARIUS
The Moon's return to Aquarius each month is always a valuable chance to check in and since Jupiter and Saturn's return in December, to get a better read on the early months of the major new doors they are opening. To have the Moon return in the early hours of the week also means that you will have an intuitive edge from the start. However, there is more to the Moon's return than just a chance to check in. This is the Moon's last visit before Saturn's retrograde turn later in the month but also before Jupiter leaves next week, less than five months after returning for what should have been a 12 month visit. Jupiter will return at the end of July but to harvest the seeds he is planting now. In his last full week here, the planet of luck and expansion is nearing the end of the planting phase and wanting to empty his seed box before he leaves, he is no longer carefully planting them and is instead scattering them. Jupiter is urging you to embrace opportunities, knowing Saturn will stay on to help you work on them.
PISCES
One very ordinary event has a huge amount of significance this week and that is the Moon's return to Pisces from Wednesday to Friday. The Moon returns every four weeks with a chance to check in and to engage your intuition, instincts and imagination as it moves through. These monthly visits will always see the Moon align with dreamy Neptune, with a chance to check in with the dreams that are the blueprint for the coming year. However, as soon as the Moon returns on Wednesday it will be clear that something has shifted, returning to find Mars at a friendly aspect in an adventurous part of your chart. Mars has only been here for 12 days by the time the Moon returns to Pisces, so this is your first feel for the impact this is having. However, it is the sense of anticipation that the Moon will leave you with on Friday that suggests even bigger changes ahead, with lucky Jupiter just seven days away from his first visit to Pisces in over a decade by then. |
