Astrology highlights for the week of July 10, 2022:

00:49 – This week's theme is: Adjusting to a new reality! This week has three big things to discuss: First, the US is in the heart of its Pluto Return, and Celeste shares lots of information about this! Pluto's energy is emotional, transformational, volcanic, and can be a purification by fire; it burns things to the studs and brings shadows to light. It can also be intensely healing by bringing uncomfortable issues into collective awareness. The US Pluto is in the 2nd house; we are seeing fluctuations around money, inflation, the stock market, interest rates, and monetary policy. It is also the house of values: Is democracy holding on by a thread? Also, we are seeing more government involvement around sex and reproduction (e.g., Roe v. Wade). And will we see future government involvement around birth control and marriage equality? (To learn more about Celeste's Return to the Stars reading, check out her website!)

10:05 – Second, we have a Full Moon in Capricorn this week! The Sun is in Cancer, emphasizing emotional safety and security and how we protect ourselves. The Moon in Cap references control, duty, responsibility, and tradition. This Full Moon trines Uranus and is approaching a sextile with Neptune; it also joins Pluto. Wow! If your chart is activated, there may be intense emotions around this lunation regarding the themes highlighted here. Prepare for illumination.

12:35 – Third: We have multiple quincunx aspects this week! This is when the planets talking to each other are 150 degrees apart and are in signs with nothing in common by mode or element. The quincunx emphasizes the need for adjustment – it's like an irritant and pushes us to move in new directions. (Want to read Bernadette Brady's book?

15:35 - On Sunday, the word of the day is AWAKEN. The Moon enters Sagittarius at 1:34 am PT. See if you notice an uplifting mood shift. Get out in nature.

18:06 – On Monday, the theme is TRANSFORMATION. The Pluto Return is exact today – evolution is nonnegotiable.

18:40 – Tuesday's focus is CATHARSIS. The Moon enters Capricorn at 2:01 am PT. A great day to focus on productivity.

20:25 – On Wednesday, the word is COMPREHENSION. The Full Moon is at 11:37 am PT at 21 Capricorn. Be prepared for illumination.

22:31 – On Thursday, the theme is COMMUNITY. The Moon enters Aquarius at 1:13 am PT. How can you assist others?

23:57 – On Friday, the focus is GRATIFICATION. Venus is quincunx Pluto. Watch out for acting out of carnal desires.

27:07 – On Saturday, the word is PURIFY. The Moon enters Pisces at 1:18 am PT. Listen to beautiful music. Move slowly through the day.
