♈ Aries: Fresh energy is incoming in your relationship with your creative spirit. Simultaneously, it’s important to remember and express gratitude for the gifts of collaboration and community.
♉ Taurus: Look within as more about the root of your being is revealed to you. As inner expansion occurs privately, something new in your professional, public realm is drawn closer.
♊ Gemini: Pursue new ideas and studies that ignite your mind and voice. Through the short-course process, you remove old masks and create new pathways for long-term expansion.
♋ Cancer: You are being gifted great opportunities that will show you that you are the greatest provider for your own needs. As your confidence grows, dependence on others transforms.
♌ Leo: There’s an even greater call for you to shine from the inside out. Your light may be too bright for some, which will show you where to let go and call in new, more aligned relationships.
♍ Virgo: As you begin connecting more with the unseen and liminal, a beautiful awakening unfolds. Fine-tune what your soul is revealing through daily, unconventional physical practices.
♎ Libra: Striking the best balance at all times is a high priority. Greater discernment is a requirement when it comes to your social circles. Mismatches can hinder self-expression.
♏ Scorpio: Attune with your heart to grow and aspire professionally. Attune to your triggers and emotional patterns you may push aside to grow and align personally and privately.
♐ Sagittarius: A playful, new adventure is on the horizon. For the full experience, you’ll need a clear body and mind. Conversations with confidants can stir up and release any repressed emotions.
♑ Capricorn: A season of unearthing greater depths within is upon you. As you learn more about your soul, you’ll let go of egocentric patterns. Wholeness within yourself is the result.
♒ Aquarius: Rest and take care of yourself by tuning into your body. Emotional regulation and release are essential to showing up authentically as you navigate life for yourself and others.
♓ Pisces: Intentional isolation is oftentimes the best medicine for your body, mind, and spirit. Daily life may be becoming more demanding, which makes rest and retreat more important.
Weekly astrology summary:
It’s a whopper of a week, cosmic tribe! Every day presents energetic opportunities to slow down, take full advantage of pausing to potentially reset or redirect, and to tune deeply into your inner world to process and release emotions that may be stuck, repressed, or ignored. The week kicks off on Wednesday with the end of the Mercury retrograde in Cancer that began on June 29. This event alone has most likely been a deep emotional journey into the roots of feelings and family patterns. Important topics for pondering include identifying basic needs and determining if they are being met. Consider what’s been revealed and what has surfaced over the past few weeks. Saturn follows suit and begins another backward, retrograde journey through Aries on July 26. The fire of the self has structure; the discovery of the source of more flames begins again. The sun reaches its annual opposition to purifying Pluto on July 27. This event usually dredges up some soul-searching about identity and whether or not we’re being or becoming our truest selves, and if not, why? What transformation within needs to occur? The relationship we have with ourselves and with others will be triggered as the lovers of the sky, Mars and Venus, are locked into a square aspect all week. This particular square will seek resolution in how we can see things differently and welcome a new perspective to change patterns of idealism or perfection expectations in all relationships, all whilst also working on ourselves.
All aspects and energies grow throughout the week and culminate on July 29 with the Aquarius full moon (exactly at 10:35 a.m.). Full moons are always a time for reflection, release, and emotional processing; however, this full moon is extraordinary as it occurs cozied up to the still present Jupiter/Pluto opposition (sun and Jupiter in Leo opposite moon and Pluto in Aquarius). Jupiter is undergoing its own annual purification in the heart of the sun as the moon waxes to fullness, both illuminating that which Pluto prefers to keep hidden underground in the shadows. There’s gold to be discovered this week, this full moon, and the personal and collective treasure hunt will require a great deal of self-awareness, heart-centered focus, and stillness to truly listen to the whispers of the soul. Finding or engaging more with practices that quiet the mind and assist with tuning into the body and the spirit will be tremendously helpful this week. Find or pick your favorite and do it! This week’s horoscopes are focused on the dynamics of the Aquarius full moon; see the above horoscope for your rising sign for more specific insight and guidance.
