The Planets this Week: July 23 - 29, 2017

This week we have a New Moon in Leo. The New Moon presents an opportune time for new starts and beginnings. Practically imperceptible to the human eye, the New Moon seems almost non-existent from our vantage point. However, like our subconscious minds, we know it’s there, progressing slowly toward illumination.

There may be a feeling or a desire brewing within for some sort of change. This is a time for planting seeds, for birthing new ideas and starting afresh. Creatively speaking, inspiration can be residing somewhere just beneath the surface, barely breaking into conscious thought. You may want to carve out some quiet time to nurture any cerebral stirrings. Nourish your mind with books. Listen to dreams that inspire ideas. You may want to take a project that you’ve been working on in a different direction, forging a new path.

On Tuesday, communication planet Mercury moves into Virgo where it will be until August 31st. This is an extra-long transit due to the retrograde period on August 12th. With the influence of Mercury in Virgo you may find you have a keen, piercing intellect and can zero in on required information like a hawk on a mouse.

At this time, your mind will work efficiently and quickly. You’ll learn best through organized logical courses of study and you may be drawn to math and the sciences. You’ll be capable of very detailed work and won’t shy away from numbers, figures, or equations. You’ll tend to be very orderly in your thinking and methodology, which will make you inclined toward academics, research, study projects and the like. However, you won’t want to be too abstract and you’ll prefer work that has practical benefit, and not just for yourself but for others as well.

Tune in on Monday 9pm ET/6pm PT to find out more…
