This week, we have a total of 3 planetary shifts: Pallas Athene moves into Gemini (Mutable Air,) Mars moves into Taurus (Fixed Earth,) and Mercury moves into Cancer (Cardinal Water.) Pallas being in Gemini means our creative intelligence will be initially influenced by Mercury in Cancer (followed by Mercury in Leo, then Mercury in Virgo, and finally, Mercury in Libra,) so until July 19th, we may feel too much - likely to be taking things personally, which could pose an issue with forming an effective strategy.
Mars and Mercury make their shifts into new territory early Tuesday morning, and by 2:36 AM EDT, Mercury will sextile Mars. Thoughts are sparking our movements. Quick reflexes. Fast exchanges.
On Wednesday, Venus in Gemini will sextile Chiron in Aries at 16º22': An opportunity to heal relationships, priorities, values.
On Friday, the Cancer Sun will square Chiron in Aries at 16º23': Our intentions to soothe, nourish and protect those within our care are challenged by our insecurities to stand on our own. You or someone within your environment may be in need of a morale boost, but paranoia or our inherited distrustful natures may put us on edge. If your ego takes a hit today, try to direct your energy towards uncovering the hidden truth behind your emotional responses. It is highly likely you or another are acting out from a painful childhood memory.
On Saturday, Mercury in Cancer will square Jupiter in Aries at 8º06': In general, Mercury square Jupiter can be associated with soapboxing or blowing hot air - there may be so much you feel compelled to say, and you may just say it without fully thinking it through. The Moon, the ruler of both Mercury and the Sun, will be in Scorpio on this day, and it will be close to the South Node at the time of this transit - so it may be secret information from our past or histories may be disclosed, reported or shared - possibly accidentally. There may be a lot of talk in regards to the feminine or maternal aspects of our life. The Moon will also be opposite Uranus at this time, and we’re 2 days away from the USA’s REAL Pluto Return, so I’m expecting the information that is revealed or the conversations that we have to be shocking, disruptive and erratic. People may also just be saying things for their shock factor. So check your sources, don’t believe everything that you hear, because it may be exaggerated or lacking in nuance.
On Sunday, the Cancer Sun will sextile Uranus in Taurus at 18º06': An opportunity to build on your innovations in a way that nourishes your creative self-expression. Give life to something new and different that you can touch, taste, see, hear, or smell. Tenderly illuminate the grounded future vision.
