The Sun and Saturn team up to support heart-centered leadership on Wednesday, July 10.
You CAN get things done without being brusque or domineering, at least early this week. Wednesday’s flowing Sun-Saturn trine in water signs calls for heart-centered leadership. Instead of stressing everyone out and barking orders, guide from a place of calm.
Demonstrating genuine care for others’ concerns is the most potent path to establishing your authority—and accomplishing your goals while making everyone feel that they are valued.
Feelings crescendo toward passion on Thursday, just as Venus prepares to move into Leo until August 4.
Misty-eyed moments abound early Thursday, as caring Venus (in its last hours in Cancer) and sensitive Neptune unite in emotional water signs. This compassionate connection can crumble the toughest walls between people, but it can also make you a little too impressionable.
Strengthen your screening process to ensure that undeserving or deceptive people don’t slip past the gates. If you’re normally the “stiff upper lip” kind of person, this is a beautiful day to lower your guard and make genuine connections.
Later on Thursday, pack away the tissue box and put on your dancing shoes!
A couple hours after the emotional Venus-Neptune connection, the love planet struts into playful, passionate Leo for a month, taking your love life from mild to wild! Get ready for a wave of glamour, with eye-popping visuals, colossal courtships and bold declarations of devotion. Unlike last summer, Venus won’t be retrograde in Leo, so enjoy the extended fireworks display of this sultry, saucy season! Got a talent to trot out? Get thee to an outdoor stage or a vivacious venue where the fans can gather in appreciation.
Friday’s Venus-Pluto opposition could churn up stormy interactions and expose secrets.
Pause before you pull the alarm! As Venus in passionate Leo opposes vengeful Pluto, you could overreact to something that looks like a betrayal. While this cosmic mashup can aggravate trust issues, things may not be as they seem. Don’t ignore the evidence of behavior that seems “off” (like a mystery text or open chat window) but start with a conversation before full-on snooping. Think “detective,” not “FBI interrogation.” If you’re just getting to know someone, pay attention to red flags and leave any situation where you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Did someone’s profile raise suspicion on an app? Don’t ignore your intuition. Report and block anyone who seems outright inappropriate.
Saturday’s waxing quarter moon in Libra lights a path to peace.
It’s time to face the music—or the conflict you’ve been avoiding. Dealing with the drama is paramount to moving on or making strides, so take a deep breath and prepare for potentially unpleasant conversations. The waxing quarter moon in Libra, the most balanced and strategic of the signs, will help you navigate any sticky spots on the path to peace. Stand up for yourself and try not to let your feelings cloud the facts. Be open to other perspectives and don’t be afraid to apologize if the fault lies with you. That alone could be more eye-opening than the entire discussion!
