Weekly Cosmic Forecast, July 6 – 12: The Clearing
Neptune stations retrograde, Venus enters Virgo, and Mercury retrograde touches the Sun.
Monday, July 6: Cultivating Courage
Regardless of emotional readiness, the universe pulls us out of our comfort zone, demanding that we face matters with maturity, discipline, and responsibility. The Cancerian Sun’s harsh angle with stoic Saturn at the opening of the week reminds us of the discomfort of growth. While the safety of familiarity tugs at our tender spirit, resilient Saturn reminds us that ownership and self-accountability are non-negotiable in this moment.
When sensitivity and strength are at odds in this way, we must observe the tension within ourselves that treats these states of being as opposites. Luckily, the Moon rises in the Aries fires to support this journey. Passion, initiative, and assertion become our blueprint. Bravery is cultivated as we move forward, not before.
Later, the Aries Moon forges tender alignments with Jupiter in regal Leo and Uranus in restless Gemini. This preludes its late-night fusion with Neptune retrograde. The cosmic weather urges confidence — not just the kind that uplifts us, but also the people in our surroundings. Daring and instinctual self-expression will leave an imprint on others, so long as this emerges from a place of liberation, rather than performance.
