Your Celestial Compass for the Week of July 26-August 1, 2021

The Solar System is Forging Ahead with New Signs to Inform You

 

Strong energy shifts are happening due to several planets which are Mercury, Jupiter and Mars changing signs.

 

On Tuesday Mercury leaves Cancer and moves into Leo where it will reside until August 11 igniting communication and strong impulses to take action, being more on the go and a kind of thinking out loud. There’s frustration and anxiousness due to its opposition to Saturn happening Sunday. Restlessness, a wanderlust and strong willfulness to do something even if controversial stirs minds all week and into August. You can declare yourself and strive to find time to indulge in what you really want to do, plus find time to enjoy something special to you. Toward the end of the week Mercury opposite Pluto brings everything on your mind to a peak that you feel compelled to express. Think about what you want as an outcome before speaking out.

Jupiter moved back and forth between Capricorn and Aquarius that on Wednesday advances again into Aquarius where it’s already been expanding fantastic energy that’s ongoing until December 28. Groups, organizations, society and the bigger picture of life are in for a lot of added awareness. What you want to do in the scheme of your life more easily transforms into an ideal and connection to others is a major part of what happens from here on in during the year. Planning and goal setting is more on your mind that you realize is happening with friends and others so taking steps in that direction is helped to manifest.

Mars is in...

Astrology for July 19-25, 2021

True Passion is My Banner

CopyrightSandraHelton2021

The Sun is in Leo producing strong urges to fulfill passions from Thursday until August 22. This energy is all about the gusto of life and taking a leap into what you love to do as it emphasizes seeking happiness and entertainment that soothes the soul. This powerful sign governs the heart and soul reverberating within every person, regardless of zodiacal birth sign and if you know your birth chart you can see where Leo is strong. It’s of the fire element and all things bright are a product of its energy. During these days you benefit by focusing on your hearts desires and what they mean to you.

Mercury has three major angles throughout the week that alerts to significant communication. First is the sextile to Uranus on Tuesday that’s great for spontaneous awareness ranging from unexpected news to psychic flashes. Being quick to realize there’s “extra” awareness in the air is a key to knowing more as you need and would like and also there’s perception to subtle nuances that someone may not know they’re revealing.

On Saturday Mercury and Neptune trine gives wonderful creativity and ability to see beyond the veil into other realms. Making an effort to tap into your intuitive abilities can yield a plethora of information, ideas and visions. This crosses boundaries from one dimension to another and heightens the ability to sense what others intend and could even reveal hidden agendas. Artisans benefit by utilizing the week for creating something original.

Mercury and Pluto oppose on Sunday that’s intense and can bring in stark realities. There can be strong argumentative conversations or opinions that are extreme. While not exactly war, it can cause what feels like it. If you need to know something and want the truth revealed it’s helpful. Be aware of what you intend before launching into confrontations.

Venus moves from Leo into Virgo on Wednesday where it remains until August 16 giving a kind of modesty and conservativeness in matters of love. Wanting order and details in the way relationships are lived and also wanting loved ones to be responsive to needs is part of this manifestation. People are more nitpicky and anxious in social situations and may become overly annoying. This is good for artists and creators to tend to details and make nice works of art, songs, etc.

Resonation to Leo connects you to your soul and the spirit of your life journey and choices. Often, passion is set on a back burner in lieu of practicality yet there’s that always yearning to fulfill something. When creative fulfillment is denied there can be frustration since Leo is “fixed” energy of willfulness. Many turn to recreational substitutes to subdue true desire that then shadows ones true nature. Where able it’s ideal to connect to what you love.

Celestial Events for July 12-18, 2021

 

★Creative Direction Born of Truth★

The Sun in Cancer forms significant angles to Neptune and Pluto that’s an open door to great imagination ranging from daydreaming to creating something grand. The Sun trine Neptune angle peaking Thursday shows idealism and insight in a big way, especially since Mercury is right there also in Cancer that rules communication and mind activity. Allowing time to shift into your higher mind, into daydreams and meditation you easily find solutions to problems, new ideas to apply where needed and as you venture on this road then comes on Saturday the Sun opposite Pluto which is a startling energy manifesting conflict. It’s like being in a dream where all is okay and suddenly it becomes a nightmare. The week is dramatic and gets attention, one way or another.

 Your Celestial Compass for the Week of July 5-11, 2021

Your Fortress and Sacred Space

Monday, when the Sun and Uranus sextile is great for taking strides toward independence and doing something original that you’ve created or aligning with powerful progressive energy.

Tuesday is more about being aware of your surroundings and how communication happens. Discernment is in order. Mercury squares Neptune is either simple misunderstanding or more intensely could be deception. Venus opposite Saturn is a block to harmony that could disrupt close connections and where you hold important bonds.

Wednesday’s Moon will square Neptune making a continuance of these rays. Reflection and tending to emotion is helpful to keep you in balance and objective.

On Thursday Venus square Uranus is unsettling and even may cause a break in associations that’s emotional or unexpected. Unsettled feelings and distorted interests are in the way that makes it best to take it easy and not push social or personal connections.

Friday is nice in that is brings the New Moon in Cancer at 9:17 PM, launching a two week growth period. Preparation and organization are keys to be ready to go forward with the lunar expansion. Domestic and family matters are in the fore so the next two weeks easily brings home something that needs resolving and reinforcing. Sensitivity continues within and with how you align with others.

Mercury in Cancer from 4:36 PM on Sunday lasts until July 27 bringing lots of activity for all connections where you feel a bond and also within and about the home. There may be communication with ancestors that resonate powerfully right now, revealing unknown aspects of your spirit. It’s easy to take things personally even when they’re not, and counter is that sensitivity is a prominent factor. People are inclined to be more self-absorbed.

Personal space, comfort and boundaries are outer manifestations of the need for sacred space wherein you can flourish on all levels without concern. Pluto tends to generate invasion energy in numerous ways that right now is showing you where you may want to reinforce areas of life that would leave you vulnerable to outside agendas.

Key words for the week:

Sense; perceive; nest; nurture; home; boundary; fortress

Affirmation for the week:

(I compose these affirmations based on current planet, luminary and star placements in the heavens.)

“My environment is filled with all I need to maintain peace and harmony for myself and all I love.”
