<&sc>THIS WEEKEND STARTS WITH A NEW MOON in the introspective, self-protective, nurturing if worried sign of Cancer. This new moon conjuncts the sun in the birth chart of mythic America and asks what cycles are ending in our country and what is just beginning.
The stars are not asking us just to wring our hands and worry, although that might be our first reaction. The new moon nudges us to chew on the deeper existential question about the nature of true safety and stability and ask what will nurture our family and the family of humankind. Next week begins on a more upbeat, potentially hopeful or dramatic note under a Leo moon and as sociable Venus forms a pleasant sextile to change-inducing Uranus while mental Mercury sextile expansive Jupiter. Look for fresh ideas or agendas, new people and circumstances. Midweek, follow through on those potential new ideas with strong plans and nitty-gritty work while the sun trine stabilizing Saturn. Soon we’ll feel Leo season call us out of our shell to warm our hearts and reconnect us with the summer arts festivals and sociable farmers markets as Venus joins Mercury in expressive Leo on Thursday — although it can also bring operatic flair to world events. FRIDAY, JULY 5:”Ice cream and other personal comforts call us on this new moon in Cancer at 4:57 p.m. We’ll be tender on the inside and guarded on the outside. Don’t step on other’s feelings unnecessarily — the claws will come out. But in this tenderness, we can start a fresh cycle if we take responsibility for our own happiness, safety, and comfort.(tncms-inline)b65535e0-3f17-4ccd-8c82-b539a58c3b7d[0](/tncms-inline) SATURDAY, JULY 6:”Moods can change as fast as a summer storm flashing through blue skies. Tender flashes from the past come through as Venus squares Chiron early in the day; comfort and reassurance further but notice what honestly needs protecting. Later, it furthers to network through creative events for good causes as Venus semi-squares Jupiter. SUNDAY, JULY 7:”Overnight, the Leo moon opposes Pluto and can haunt our dreams or exaggerate our emotions. We may be able to articulate the layers of feelings midday as that moon conjuncts Mercury; tell the story and listen to theirs. MONDAY, JULY 8:”Notice extra emotional torque; we can use that energy to focus our worries or to find threads of hope and help them grow. Look for new products, a fresh perspective, and break traditional routine as Venus sextile Uranus and Mercury sextile Jupiter. Consider all possibilities and sort for probability over the next week. TUESDAY, JULY 9:”Eat well; our guts can respond sensitively to our mood under the Virgo moon. Get practical, attend the nuts and bolts of new plans, take a step. Without a goal, we can spin into worry, edginess, criticism. If we feel like we’re working toward a goal of whatever size, the stars’ obsessiveness can productively get us there. WEDNESDAY, JULY 10:”Although it’s easy to feel anxious, be sane and tap into competent resources instead as the sun trine stabilizing Saturn under a nervy, industrious Virgo moon. Work around a frustrating moment mid-morning as the moon opposes Saturn; instead of resisting, start at the easiest point and work through the pile. THURSDAY, JULY 11:”Be kind and look for the beauty in one another. Our hearts need a break from routine, we want to love with more grandeur or more drama as Venus trine Neptune then enters Leo. This is a good time for Metta meditation, for loving-heart visualizations. Nurture the spark of affection and friendships and romance — pet the dog.
