Astro Daily: July 25, 2024

The Moon moves into Aries and we get a boost of element fire alongside a Leo Sun. Fire energy is creative. It inspires and motivates us. With both Mars and Jupiter in Gemini, we’re thinking of the future and feeling the spark to move, explore, and socialize.

A Leo Sun and an Aries Moon and Mars in Gemini is a bit of a combination. It moves fast. It’s combustive and chatty and curious in equal measures. We may have a lot of say as a result, although we may want to think before we speak. Mars in Gemini can sometimes be a little too quick.

That said, speaking of movement, Mercury arrives in Virgo, one of its home signs. If Mercury is the planet of thinking, listening, speaking, and learning, then in Virgo Mercury finds its critical thinking and analysis. It sorts and organizes.

Note that Mercury is getting ready for its periodic retrograde, turning backwards on August 5 at 4 degrees Virgo. Whatever is going on right now, whatever thoughts, ideas, and decisions may likely be revisited in August as Mercury retraces its steps through the sky. And while Mercury Retrograde is not a time to panic, it is a time to reevaluate, revisit, and gain a new perspective.

If you are in AUSTRALIA or NZ, this forecast applies approximately for July 26, 2024.
