This week we are exploring what taking care of ourselves on a higher level looks like on a daily basis. By the end of the week you could have a new action plan in place for the new you. With Mercury moving into Cancer, and Mars moving into Taurus on Tuesday, expect a boost in your abilities to take new action around self-care. Black Moon Lilith moves to 9° of Cancer on Monday, so some old fear patterns could show up around how you did or did not take care of yourself in the past. It’s time to move away from these old patterns of habit and on to ones that support your new sense of self. Venus in Gemini is semi-sextiling the Sun this week and is also helping us to open up to new ideas around what self-care on a daily basis could look like. She makes a sextile to Chiron in Aries, who is slowing down at 16°, on Wednesday, helping us to take a look at the new places we are ready to heal and integrate for our new sense of self to evolve. We will be exploring for the rest of the year how this new mindset we have, due to our change in values, reflects the new inner sense of self that we have now. Every time a planet aspects Chiron we are being asked to see how we are moving in our current healing phase. It is important that we take time to integrate our healing so that we may fully move on. Chiron retrogrades July 20th, use this time to pay attention to those patterns and habits, write them down physically, and make your plans to change them. We will begin the healing phase during the retrograde and the integration phase when he goes direct again at the end of the year. Jupiter in Aries moves to 8° on Thursday and we are able to start expanding our beliefs around decisions we must make for ourselves now. Uranus in Taurus moves to 18° on the same day and we are beginning to take the new steps that we need on a daily basis to reflect the new values that we belong with. The North Node(T) moves to 20° of Taurus on Monday and starting this week we could begin to see shakeups in the outerworld based on these new decisions for action that we are taking. It will be important to strongly hold the emotional tone of this new story you wish to manifest. Neptune in Pisces (retro) at 25° and Pluto in Capricorn (retro) at 27° are holding steady with God’s plan for our complete transformation.
Monday July 4 Sun: Cancer 12°-13° (changing at 8:18pm est) Moon: Virgo
The North Node(T) in Taurus moves to 20° today and we must now hold the emotional tone we wish to manifest in the future. This could be met with some unexpected challenges as it is now 2° away from Uranus. Black Moon Lilith moves to 9° of Cancer today and you could begin to face fears around old habits and patterns of caring for yourself. It is time to recognize the new you on the inside needs a self-care upgrade. The Sun at 12° for most of the day is helping us desire a new way of believing about this self-care on a daily basis. When Venus gets here at the end of the month we will truly start opening up to accepting this new belief. The Moon in Virgo sextiles the Sun at 12° this morning and your emotions are feeling into the make or break details of what you desire now. She makes a square to Venus in Gemini at 13° just before noon, helping our mind decide what details are the best fit.

Mercury and Mars are in sextile as they change signs overnight. Mercury moves into Cancer and our mind begins to cover the tracks of our heart’s desires for new self care on the inside. We are starting to rearrange our perspective on self-care, and we can now start to work out the details on making our dreams a reality. Mars moving into Taurus helps us physically create and establish our new goals in a way where we can begin to see this new life taking shape. But first we must hold space for what that looks like. Today is a great day to write down your plans and the steps you will take next. Mars in Taurus enjoys starting projects, but needs a solid plan to see it all the way through. The Moon in Virgo trines the North Node in Taurus at 20° overnight and an opposition to Neptune (retro) at 25° in the morning, this could have you feeling ready to hold your new lines in the future, albeit you may have some uncertainty around what that future really looks like. She makes a trine to Pluto (retro) at 27° later this afternoon helping us let go of feelings from the past that we may still be holding on to.

She is quiet until later this evening when she will make a square to the Sun just before it moves to 15°.

Friday July 8 Sun: Cancer 16° (All day) Moon: Scorpio
The Sun squares Chiron in Aries at 16° and may have you on edge today as we face at full light what we must heal to move forward and become the new us. Although we are opening up to this healing, we may face a challenge, or solid wake up call around the depth of what is there. The Moon in Scorpio opposes Mars in Taurus early this morning, and you may wake up feeling off kilter until you realize what new emotional lines must be drawn according to your feelings around your new values and what you are worth now. She makes a trine to Mercury in Cancer at 7° in the afternoon aligning your heart and mind on the care you are meant to have going forward. Be mindful of how you present your new lines to others, perhaps wait until you have a clear plan in mind before detailing your new needs, as everyone else will be on edge determining their own. You have plenty of time this evening to deep dive into what self care looks like now that you have faced new levels of healing.
Saturday July 9 Sun: Cancer 17° (changing at 12:59am est) Moon: Scorpio
Mercury in Cancer squares Jupiter in Aries at 8° and your mind is being asked to make a decision around what self-care feels correct now. You may have to face a challenge of old beliefs about yourself vs. the new. The Sun at 17° of Cancer is in harmony with today’s square, as our heart explores new decisions to make on a daily basis around self care. The Moon in Scorpio makes a trine to the Sun and an opposition to Uranus in Taurus this morning, helping us draw the new lines we need for the decisions that fit our new story going forward. She makes her opposition to the North Node, which is at 20° this afternoon, and we are holding space for what we feel we can manifest in the future now, but it must be balanced with the lines we are drawing today. The evening she will make a square to Saturn (retro) at 24° followed shortly after by a trine to Neptune (retro) at 25°. Our feelings are reconsidering our boundaries around new responsibilities in the future which should help you intuit more deeply your God given role in the future.
Sunday July 10 Sun: Cancer 18° (changing at 2:10am est) Moon: Scorpio-Sagittarius
The Sun sextiles Uranus in Taurus at 18° and we are starting to see how the actions we are taking around our new decisions can support or overrun our new value system. The Moon in Scorpio sextiles Pluto (retro) overnight before moving into Sagittarius early in the morning generating a wake up call around the perfect harmony between new self-care actions and the old power structures you are dismantling. Make sure your new plan is sustainable and cohesive with your environment, it is very easy for flowing water to flood even mountains. The Moon in Sagittarius is quiet until the evening when she makes a trine to Jupiter at 8° giving us plenty of time to integrate our feelings and beliefs around what is truly the right plan to take for our new sense of self. Tonight could bring an expansion of feelings around what decisions are now possible for you. Take some time to look at previously written down goals and/or write down newly edited goals for the future with your commitment to new self care included. Next week, our hearts begin exploring how these changes alter our big picture going forward.
