Venus arrived in Leo today all flirty and playful and boy can we use it. The energy is still heavy, make no mistake, but at least we can enjoy Venus’s charms. Venus in Leo has a bit of a diva reputation, someone who enjoys the regal treatment.

The past week has been tense to say the least. If astrology tells us what time it is then the new moon last Monday pointed the clock toward themes of shadow, messy truths, and a profound state of death and rebirth.

I’m having one of those days when I don’t know what to say. It’s not that there isn’t something interesting to share about today’s astrology, but it seems a little myopic to talk about the Sun and Pluto, Venus and Chiron when the world is clearly on fire.

We’ve got a line up of powerhouse astrology today. First, the Sun and Mercury make an opposition to Pluto, something that make us face an ugly truth, see something dragged from the shadows, the underbelly. It could be our darkness, the collective’s … or both.

Can you feel the energy of creation/destruction? On one hand we recently had a new moon, a fertile time to seed new initiatives. On the other, the Sun and Mercury are approaching an opposition to Pluto, the planet of decay, death, and rebirth.

We had a doozy of a new moon yesterday. Falling opposite Pluto and trine Neptune — two outer planets that act as agents of consciousness and change — we’re gearing up for four weeks where we’ll have to face something head on.

July 2016 Horoscopes

What is home? Family? Do we feel safe enough to root and flourish? With the Sun in Cancer, the light shines upon some of the most fundamental experiences of life — care, emotional sustenance, and the mother. As a result, July will touch on life’s more sensitive subjects.

So, Mars turned direct yesterday. Hooray! But there are still a few finer points to make, especially as the energy releases over the next few days like a dam. Careful to avoid arguments and other heated encounters. Instead, use Mars positively through physical exercise.

After ten weeks retrograde, Mars finally turns direct today. Phew! We’ve had to do some serious work on where we’re wrong, where our stubborn faith and nearsightedness have taken us of course. Hopefully we learned something.

Things are heating up today courtesy of an Aries Moon + Mars in Scorpio! Combine this with Mars at a near standstill, preparing to turn direct tomorrow, and you’ve got a recipe for a lot of messy emotions spilling out.

A few years back I had a bad accident just a day or so shy of Chiron turning retrograde. It was one of those moments as an astrologer that I got a deeper understanding of Chiron, a more recent discovery and addition to the astrological lexicon.
