The third quarter moon in Aries comes in with the heat and the heavy, as this moon takes place just a day after Chiron stations retrograde. Aries is an extremely passionate sign, who expresses their emotions fiercely. Sometimes this means an intense release of emotions that are felt all at once. Squaring off to Mercury and Pluto, this Aries moon reminds us that our plans can wait, and nothing is set in stone. Fulfilling our needs physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, should always come first before seeking victory. With Chiron beginning its retrograde this week (07/19), these emotions could be bubbling up to the surface. If we take the time to process said emotions, not only will we find release in our heart spaces, but release in blockages of creativity and abundance too.
Venus enters intuitive Cancer on 07/17, which helps us embrace more of the soft life we so desperately need. Mercury enters Leo on 07/19 while opposing Pluto, which can lead to heated discussions and power struggles. Speaking what is on our mind is important, but we are reminded by the cosmos to do so with compassion. Our peace is far too expensive, and should not be spent on manners that we know only hold temporary power. The sun enters Leo on 07/22, expanding the passion and love in our hearts, while giving us a boost of confidence to live out our joy.
Aries
This week can feel overwhelming with the moon and Chiron’s retrograde taking place in your sign. This can create miscommunication and even deadlines missed this week. Take it as a sign that you’re deserving of a break and to pushback what you can.
Taurus
With your ruling planet making moves this week, things can feel a bit slower at this time. Take this week to get clear on your goals and clarify any intentions that are still foggy. This is not an ideal week to create new plans, but to review the ones already in place.
Gemini
While your ruling planet makes moves this week, you may find it easier to gain inspiration on delayed projects. It’s time to do what you do best: think outside of the box! Remind yourself there is no boundary to what you can create.
Cancer
With the planet of love, wealth and abundance now in your sign, there could be a heavier focus on your relationships and values. This is a good week to apply the sweetness you give to everyone else to yourself. Just because your season is coming to an end, doesn’t mean the self love has to.
Leo
While the planet of communication and perception enters your sign this week, you can expect a heavier focus on this element. At this time it is crucial that you be mindful with your words and speak only what you desire. Powerful insight can also be delivered to you at this time through dreams and more; pay attention!
Virgo
This week may feel more energetically exhausting, and have you wanting to hit snooze a few times. Instead of trying to push through this and potentially experiencing burn out, allow yourself to sleep in. You may be surprised what sort of inspiration you receive from your dreams when you do. Resting is also doing the work!
Libra
With this moon taking place in your sister sign, this week can feel heightened with emotions and exhaustion. Don’t force yourself to do anything that doesn’t feel right to you. Your intuitive senses are tingly and will remind you what your capacity is.
Scorpio
This week comes with its challenges, but most challenges for you is about releasing what is no longer, and embracing the new. Communicate your needs/feelings to the best of your ability, without losing control of self. The word “no” will serve you well this week.
Sagittarius
Emotional outburst can be expected this week, as your ruling planet connects with Chiron. It’s time for you to finally speak up for yourself, and put your foot down on certain affairs. By doing this you strengthen your communication skills, as you’re choosing to speak honestly and thus strengthening your manifestation skills.
Capricorn
We are just a week post-full moon, which took place in your sign and brought powerful insights and clarity. This is the week to apply what you’ve learned to strengthen your current projects and affairs. Remember to take a break from this work though, and give some tlc to your relationships!
Aquarius
Pressure may be felt this week, as one of your ruling planets starts to snuggle up next to the planet of strategy, action and war. If you’re sitting on any pending decisions, this is a good week to make some moves and explore your options! Now exploring your options doesn’t mean say “yes” to everything, it just means don’t shut down what hasn’t bloomed yet.
Pisces
Personal relationships and matters of abundance may have some friction this week, as Venus squares off with one of your ruling planets. Instead of focusing on what’s not working, focus on what is and shine more light in these areas. This can help expand your view and the abundance around you.
