Heads Up!

The Writer’s Astrological Almanac

July 18th-24th 2015

(all times PDT)

Sat July 18 the Moon is conjunct Jupiter in Leo. It’s a weekend for making a big impression. In the afternoon at 3:38 pm, Venus changes signs, leaving glamorous Leo and moving into understated Virgo. Glamour and charm get more practical. Next, the Moon enters Virgo at 5:47 pm and two whole minutes later the Moon is conjunct Venus. A character in one of your books may get lucky in love, if you allow it.

Tue July 21 the Moon is in the last few degrees of Virgo when the Sun makes a trine with Saturn at 4:07 am. This could make some tedious but necessary chore a lot easier. At 6:23 am the Moon enters Libra. Brace yourself for an agreeable if not smooth day. It’s also the last day of the month that the Sun spends in the sign of Cancer. Heads Up for last minute emotional outbursts and psychodrama. Tomorrow the world may seem brighter, showier, and more vibrant.

Wed July 22 the Moon is in Libra all day. We’re having a month of Wednesdays with the Moon in cardinal signs. At 10:51 am Mercury makes a trine with Saturn. Enjoy thinking more slowly and clearly. In the evening at 8:30 pm the Sun moves out of the Moon’s house and enters its own home sign of Leo the Lion. Heads Up! Love life more and let your work reflect it.

Thu July 23 the Moon is still in Libra. At 5:14 am Mercury shifts out of Cancer and makes its way into Leo. Pick a more grandiose project and blast away at it. At 12:24 pm we have the Sun conjunct Mercury. Give that rational mind a bit of a break and see what intuition has to offer.
