Hello, everyone. In today’s episode, we're diving into the astrological aspects that will shape the week ahead, from July 22nd through the 28th. We'll discuss significant planetary movements, their potential impact, and what you can expect during this eventful period.
First and foremost, let's revisit my forecast from last week, where I anticipated significant political shifts due to the Sun's trine with Neptune and Mercury's square with Uranus. Indeed, these aspects have come to light with Biden’s unexpected announcement and the Republican National Convention revealing J.D. Vance as their VP nominee. Vance, born on August 4th, is a Leo—a sign favored in U.S. politics, as seen with Obama and Trump.
Planetary Movements and Influences from last week -
1. Sun Trine Neptune and Mercury Square Uranus
- These aspects have initiated colossal transfers of power and monumental announcements.
- Expect continuous dramatic developments as the election season progresses.
2. Leo and Political Dynamics
- J.D. Vance’s Leo energy brings a dynamic shift. Leos are often seen in significant political roles, and this may influence voter sentiment and campaign strategies.
- Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has a significant Leo placement, Mars in Leo in the 3rd, posing interesting astrological dynamics.
3. Mars Entering Gemini on July 20
- Mars in Gemini will influence social media activities significantly, weaponizing words and ideas.
- This energy will create enthusiastic, yet tense, communications, further fueled by an upcoming square with Saturn and conjunction with Jupiter in mid-August.
Mercury’s Shadow and Upcoming Retrograde
Starting last Tuesday, Mercury entered the shadow phase of its upcoming retrograde. Interestingly enough, this coincided with technological disruptions, including flight shutdowns due to a bug. Mercury’s retrograde seems poised to uncover and resolve these issues, deepening in understanding of the implications of our reliance on technological systems that share major components across industries.
Key Events of the Week
Mercury Enters Virgo on July 25
- As we enter the waning lunar month, Mercury’s move into Virgo will prompt us to reflect on recent events and understand their meanings.
- Political events like the Democratic National Convention will unfold during the retrograde, wrestling with how to procede given the lack of precedent in shifting the nominee at this point in the election, influenced heavily by Mercury’s analytical energy.
- From the Leo new moon and Mercury’s retrograde station, both occurring on August 4th to September 2nd, Mercury’s retrograde will flavor the entire lunar month, fostering a period of reevaluation and reevaluation.
Looking Ahead throughout the week:
- Expect emotional fluctuations as the Moon transitions into Pisces on Tuesday, followed by a shift into Aries on Thursday.
- Mercury’s move into Virgo will enhance our problem-solving abilities and technical acumen.
- The Sun in Leo sextiling Mars in Gemini on Thursday will bolster our stamina, potentially creating a frenetic atmosphere.
- Friday brings Chiron’s retrograde station in Aries, evoking past wounds and vulnerabilities.
As we wind down towards the end of this lunar cycle after the moon enters the fourth quarter on Saturday the 27th, it's essential to take time for rest and reflection. Enjoy the simple pleasures, like savoring a peach, and prepare for the transformative energies of the upcoming weeks.
Thank you for joining me. We are all navigating these cosmic currents together, and I look forward to our next journey. Best of luck!
