Mercury Roars into Leo 🦁
(You can find S hemisphere at bottom of page)
This week sees Mercury and Mars change signs as well as winding us down towards the Dark Moon in Cancer. Our perspectives may tend to be extra intense and emotional this week as we move from a Mercury Pluto opposition into the annual Sun Pluto opposition. Check yourself if you find inner drama wanting to spill over the banks to cause trouble. This is a good week to do some journaling about the hard stuff, then do some crying, then do some praying, then do some smiling.
Let everything happen to you
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is final
-Rainer Maria Rilke
This is also a good week to go spend some time by or in a body of water.

Monday July 10 We open the week with a sensitive and reactive emotional transit as Mercury at 29° opposes Pluto at 29° Cap; superficial will not do. You need to get right to the heart of the matter. The late Aries Moon makes a quick square to Mercury in Cancer before it moves into Leo, indicating it may be hard to find the right words. The Aries Moon also squares Pluto today, gracing us with big ‘Fuck you’ energy, so watch out as everyone is subjuct to this mood today. By nighttime, Mercury roars into Leo and we are eager to express ourselves in a heartfelt way, and to purr when we feel seen and understood. Also today Mars our planetary “engine” downshifts today from fiery Leo into subtle, task oriented Virgo. The name of the game for Mars in Virgo is skilled service. It's a good time to focus on the kind of health care that arises from consistent support with herbs, supplements and exercise. Assess what shifts you need to make for greater coherence around tonic health care and make some good moves. This kicks off a big month of creating something new, some exciting new mental project to throw yourself into.
Tuesday July 11 Today the Taurus Moon conjuncts Jupiter and they open the wallet of the universe. Make a wish, ask for what you need. As the Cancer Sun squares Chiron, we must release the unhealthy part of our grip on that which makes us feel safe and secure, in order to grow. Things need some room to expand in an organic way. Mercury in the first decan of Leo makes a square to the Moon & her Nodes today, architecting tension between what we think we need and and what we know we need. Cue The Rolling Stones song…. Wednesday July 12 Today hosts an abrupt changes of mood, with the ability to push things aside and get down to the business of going after what you really want, that which will change your life for the better, as the Taurus Moon conjuncts Uranus and then makes a trine to Pluto Rx. The Moon square Venus says you need more love and affection today, so go give it to also get it.
Thursday July 13 We need people stimulation today although with the Moon square Saturn we may feel a little depressed as well as irritable as the Moon also squares Mars today. Make sure you eat and drink enough today to navigate it all without getting low blood sugar or dehydrated.
Friday July 14 Today is a good time for doing some healing work around early life with material around mother & siblings. As the Gemini Moon sextile Chiron and Mercury, it’s a good day for memories and networking.
Saturday July 15
Today brings increased clarity and emotional growth under the Cancer Moon sextile the North Node in Taurus, as well as some good old fashioned pleasing and pleasant domesticity, while the Moon trine the South Node helps to clear out old psychic debris. We have the patience to do this sort of sweeping out the old and bringing in the new with the Moon trine Saturn in Pisces.
Sunday July 16 It’s the Dark Cancer Moon day with a sextile to Jupiter so it’s Hygge time. Get cozy today as we wind down the lunar month. Interview each of your five senses and ask what they need today and then use this introverted day for self-love as prep for launching a New Moon again tomorrow.
Monday July 10
Fiery emotions that don't love to factor in others' needs are the call of the day, as the Aries Moon conjuncts Chiron. We face existential insecurity that seeks reassurance. It you’re feeling it then go find someone you love that makes you feel safe and secure.
