This Week in Astrology - 26th July until 1st August 2021 – Flexibility

This week begins rather quietly, and there will be no new aspects on either Monday or Tuesday, and it's only in mid-week when the action will begin. This will see Mercury which has been moving through emotional Cancer shift into brash and bold Leo early on Wednesday 28th July. As it does so, it will immediately pick up on an inconjunct aspect to Jupiter, and here we may have an issue of being too forthright for our own good, before suddenly realising that we have rather overstepped the mark. It is possible that we may have to retract what we say, or express our ideas and feelings in more measured terms. Decisions we make in the heat of the moment we may come to regret, and the landscape will change further later on in the day, as Jupiter moves out of Pisces and back into Aquarius. What started out as a good idea, may end up being a total misjudgement, so be prepared to make last minute changes, if needs be. If you are making a trip today, watch out for unexpected delays, or things going wrong en-route.

As this day comes to a close, Venus moving in Virgo will make a square to the Lunar Nodes, and someone who we are a relationship with may act in a rather critical or exacting manner, forcing us to look at our own ideas or motivations. Also, our values may also diverge from what is expected of us, and then we may reach moral crossroads point, where we have to choose what path to take in regards to something that we really care about.

On 29th July, there will be a devil may care feeling about the energy surrounding us, as Mars in Leo opposes Jupiter newly back into Aquarius. This opposition may drive us on to do something new, exciting or adventurous, but it may make us foolhardy too. Mars in Leo will want to make a bold statement, and Jupiter in Aquarius is original in the extreme. As Jupiter is retrograde, might this linked to unique actions that we have planned to do, but never got around to doing in the past? Something you promised yourself, such as travelling to a far off land, doing some extreme sport or challenge, learning a new and dangerous skill? Pride can come before a fall, and you may bite off more than you can chew, so make sure you do everything with an element of safety, or with a consideration of moderation built in.

As the day comes to a close, Mars moves into Virgo while still opposed to Jupiter, and suddenly you may start to pull back from the over-ambitious energy from the day before. Mars in Virgo makes us much more exacting and careful of the details, as well as bringing a much more modest and considerate sense to the actions that we are carrying out. In short, we will start to think of others ahead of ourselves - Virgo is the sign of service, and no service is ever possible without two parties being involved in some way. This could be a day in the wider world of unwise military action across international borders - lets see if that pans out correctly?

Whatever arises from the day before, the 30th sees Venus making a difficult inconjunct to Saturn. Now this is an aspect of relationship strain and adjustment, and some kind of emotional disappointment or stress, with someone you care about, may be developing now. It could be that they are not moving with the times, or are refusing to be flexible about something? Unless one of you either compromises, or changes your values, then you may end up really frustrated. This is a day when you could lose money, or find out that something is not worth what you thought it was. Set the bar low, and therefore lessen your initial expectations.

Sunday the 1st August finds Mercury combust to the Sun, as they make a conjunction in the early degrees of Leo. Often this particular event makes it difficult to get your opinions or ideas across to others, and this may definitely be the case with the Sun in its home sign. As hard as you try, others may be intent on doing their own thing, and not listening to your point of view. If this happens try not to fret about things, as it will be a temporary blockage. The problem is that you may be put down at the same time, with Mercury also opposing Saturn on this day. This is a very critical and conservative connection, and it may be almost impossible to get others to change their minds, indeed they may be more intent on telling you what to think or do. You may feel very under the gun, from those who have seniority over you.

This could all lead to some emotional hurt, and Venus in an inconjunct to Chiron points to this day being one that may be rather upsetting. Relationships could be damaged unless one side backs down, and the same theme of the whole week will play out again. By that I mean that those who back down, act in a much more considerate and modest way, and who are prepared to be flexible even in the face of mounting opposition, will be the ones who come out the other side of this week in the best situation.

I am still accepting online consultations via Skype. If you are interested in having one of these with me, please get in touch. Thanks...
