With this new moon aligning with Venus, you shine a light on where you need more joy and vitality in your world. The Venus retrograde cycle this summer is bringing some heart healing, possibly to your inner child, to encourage you to play and express yourself for the fun of it. I predict we all will be resurrecting dreams we had as children and seeing where we are at with that longing today. Did you always want to be a writer? Did you dream of taking care of animals? Whatever it is, are doing some semblance of it today? Why or why not? If someone or a situation is driving you crazy, that’s also helpful information. What does it represent to you symbolically? How does it show you more information about what your heart longs for?
Even though the recent Uranus square the Sun typically brings some surprises/upsets, I predict a soft landing since we have a grand trine in earth for this new moon with Mars, Uranus, and Jupiter playing nice with each other. You are able to flex with the winds of change. The resources, support, and structures are there for you to draw upon.
Mercury goes retrograde next week, and currently, it’s cozied up to Mars, opposed Neptune. This energy is ripe for misunderstandings and confusion, as your mind can play tricks on you with Neptune, the master of illusion, in this placement. Double-check your details before being critical of yourself or others. Also, be suspect of any “woe is me” attitude you find in yourself or others. There is a larger awareness and reality that Neptune wants you to better integrate into your thinking. Bring grace and a sense of humor to any communication glitches.
Intentions: I pay attention to my desires and needs for love. I listen to what my inner child would most enjoy right now. I know when it’s wise to take myself less seriously and use laughter as medicine.
