Astrology highlights for the week of July 31, 2022:

 

00:49 – This week's theme is: Awakening to a new reality! Awakenings is a 1990 movie directed by Penny Marshall and stars Robert DeNiro and Robin Williams. Is your perception of the world changing? Something this week may be a "wow" moment!

 

02:25 – The three big things this week: First, Uranus joins the Lunar North Node (NN) on Sunday, followed by Mars. This party of three is a big deal and is happening at 18 Taurus! Will we see more on the border crisis or something related to scientific discoveries? Extreme urges for freedom and independence? Uranus can bring sudden, shocking events that change life, and Mars tends to cut and sever – think of MMA fighting! Also, on Sunday, Mars is on asteroid Niobe: Lessons could be learned through children this week, or there could be lessons around humility. Will we see legal action around gun control to prevent school shootings? And, Venus is on asteroid Sappho: Enough with the anti-LGBTQIA+ laws!

 

09:47 – Second, Mercury enters Virgo, its home sign, from Aug 3 – Aug 25. Bring order to chaos: This is a wonderful time to do mundane tasks that take attention to detail. Go ahead, organize and declutter. Do watch out for being overly critical or perfectionistic.

 

12:02 – Third, we have the First Quarter (FQ) Moon at 13 Scorpio on Aug 5. It could be intense, as it is conjunct the South Node (SN) and opposite the Taurus pileup. Venus is on the World Point of 22.5  Cancer; Venus is also quincunx Saturn and trine Neptune. Jupiter is contraparallel Neptune, which goes until Aug 5: Jupiter makes everything bigger, and is in a fire sign, so please take care in case of big storms or wildfires. Ensure you have the resources you need: water, car tank full of gas, etc.

 

15:43 – On Sunday, the word of the day is ENLIGHTENMENT. The oracle card is THE BOX. Consider how you limit yourself. Are you ready to break free?

 

18:09 – On Monday, the theme is UPHEAVAL. The oracle card is THE VENOM. Speak kindly to yourself and others. The crescent Moon phase begins at 24 Virgo at 10:32 am PT, and the Moon enters Libra at 9:05 pm PT.

 

20:05 – Tuesday's focus is DEVOTION. The oracle card is AGAPE. You may have the opportunity for a new partnership, money opportunity, or project.

 

22:15 – On Wednesday, the word is MAGNETISM. The oracle card is THE SIREN. Contemplate how you can be more receptive to abundance. Mercury enters Virgo at 11:57 pm PT. Put on your thinking cap.

 

23:03 – On Thursday, the theme is DECISIVE. The oracle card is THE SWORD. Separate the wheat from the chaff. The Moon enters Scorpio at 4:46 am PT.

 

24:04 – On Friday, the focus is REVELATIONS. The oracle card is ALETHIA. Be prepared for the truth to come out. The first quarter Moon is at 13 Scorpio at 4:06 am PT.
