Astrological Forecast for July 23-29

The start of two retrogrades, Leo season, and plenty of aspects this week!

The Sun enters the sign of Leo – happy birthday to our dear Leos! Detailed wishes and recommendations for other signs can be found in a separate article. Chiron and Venus begin their retrograde motion. Chiron, known as the “wounded healer,” represents our past wounds and traumas that need attention and resolution. During its retrograde phase (until December 27), we are encouraged to revisit these old wounds and work towards their healing and transformation. Remember to be gentle with yourself during this time and seek support from trusted sources if required. You will also find information about Venus retrograde in a separate article. The conjunction of Mercury and Lilith brings forth a powerful urge to speak our truth, challenge societal norms, and break free from limitations. And under the influence of the square between Mercury and Uranus, our thoughts may become scattered, and our minds may race with new possibilities. It’s important to approach these aspects with caution. Balance the need for novelty and originality with careful analysis and logical thinking.

Take this opportunity to focus on the present moment. Remember, even without cosmic influences, each day holds the potential for personal growth and happiness. So make the most of this day and create your own moments of positivity and fulfillment.

This phase encourages us to evaluate the first results of our actions in the new lunar month and make necessary adjustments. By embracing the qualities of Libra, such as diplomacy, cooperation, and seeking win-win solutions, we can navigate this phase with grace and create harmonious outcomes.

Both of these aspects are considered harmonious. The connection between the Moon and Saturn allows us to feel grounded and disciplined in our emotions, enhancing our ability to manage our feelings and maintain a steady course. The Moon's sextile with Mars adds an extra boost of energy, drive, and motivation to the equation. It's a time to channel our strengths and emotions constructively, and make great progress!

This celestial combination enhances our ability to express ourselves with charm, grace, and tactfulness. We find ourselves more inclined to engage in pleasant conversations, negotiations, and forming connections with others.

When Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect, enters the practical and analytical sign of Virgo, our ability to analyze and organize information enhances. With Mercury trine the North Node, we may find ourselves drawn to learning, studying, and gaining new knowledge that supports our soul's journey.

When the Moon forms a square with Neptune, the astrological energy creates a tension between our emotions and our dreams, illusions, or confusion. However, its influence is made up for by the trine with Venus. The personal impact depends on the specifics of your natal chart, but definitely be aware of your emotions on this day.
