Sunday begins on an opportunistic note with Mars in friendly, convivial, conversational Gemini making a supportive sextile to Saturn in action-oriented Aries. These are the two malefic planets, traditionally associated with negative outcomes, but when they are aligned in masculine signs and making a supportive and motivating aspect, we will see the more positive sides of these planets coming forward. This is a day to form a strategy, make a plan, or take an action in a community setting or risk-oriented arena of your life.

​

Throughout the week, we will see the activation of Barbault's Basket, a beneficial and rare configuration of the outer planet's all being in harmonious alignment with each other at 4 degrees of air and fire signs. This is great energy for conversations, for taking action, and for seeing true alignment in our lives as the outer forces of nature coalesce into a divine set up that shows you exactly what has been building and what your soul has subconsciously been driving toward for an extended amount of time. 

Uranus is a key player, making a sextile to Neptune, and a trine to Pluto. Sudden and unexpected change that sparks or is fueled by transformation is on hand. Jupiter in Leo will trine Neptune in Aries and oppose Pluto in Aquarius. This perfects on Monday and will expand our idealistic thinking and the pursuit of our dreams. 

​

Jupiter will then form a sextile to Uranus from Leo to Gemini. This rare alignment calls up the phrase "fortune favors the bold". Don't hold back and make definite moves on your most cherished dreams and ideals. Neptune is asking for true identification with your idea of a perfect life or situation, Pluto is demanding transformation to fit the ideal, Saturn is on-board to ground the vision with hard work, boundaries, and commitment, and Jupiter is offering all that he can offer in the promise of abundance, growth, and spiritual blessings, and Uranus is also in on the cosmic conspiracy of blessings by offering something we didn't see coming or could predict in a million years. It may take the form of just pure rebellion, which Uranus also rules. Remember that this is a highly beneficial alignment that will last for months and set us up for real progress moving forward. Your path will be divinely guided and you will be highly motivated to move on where the Universe points you.

​

On Wednesday, the Sun will enter Leo. This is the Sun's domicile and all things solar-oriented will be celebrated. Fun, drama, parties, generosity, royalty, celebrity, performance, creativity in all forms, children, play, and joy will all be center-stage. Displays of ego are apt to be evident for the next 30 days, but celebrating one's own individuality will also be of great importance. Pluto in Aquarius is encouraging the manifestation of expression for the sake of individual satisfaction as opposed to performative displays for external gratification. It is time to celebrate yourself inwardly and outwardly for your own sake, not others'.

​

Mercury turns direct on Thursday, making communications more clear, technologies operate more smoothly, and our thinking more lucid. However, the day that Mercury moves direct can amplify these things. The days that Mercury stations direct or retrograde are notoriously difficult for these things, so there may be some hiccups in communication, travel, appointment setting, technology, social media, etc. Once Mercury moves out of shadow, on August 6th, it will be clear to sign contracts, or make big purchases of a mechanical or technical nature. The sun will also square Chiron in Taurus on this day, so it may be that a miscommunication alerts an old wound in your psyche. Remember that not all things that hurt are meant to, that they may just resemble an old hurt.

​

On Sunday, Neptune activates the outer planet formation by moving into a sextile with Pluto. Retrograde Neptune is pulling back our attention to focus on our inner dreamscape and when locking into a sextile with Pluto, the opportunity to align with our dreams through a transformation of the self is apparent. You may see that by aligning the "who" of who you are with the dream of who you want to be is the key to manifesting the life you most want to live. Take it. Do it. Be it. You are it.

​

Remember that these predictions are based on when aspect perfect, but they may be felt up to three days prior or the day after each perfection.
