The second eclipse is here!

While we wait for the lunar eclipse to occur on the 16th, we still have to overcome this week’s astrological transits that trigger the intense luminary.

We kick off this week with a gentle and dreamy connection between the Cancer Sun and Neptune, who is retrograde in Pisces, on the 11th. Later in the day, Mars, who is fired up in Leo, galvanizes rebellious Uranus, who is currently in earthy Taurus, and healing asteroid Chiron, who is retrograde rambunctious Aries. Mars is stirring the celestial pot on the 11th, creating passionate arguments and shocking revolts. While we may think that we are doing ourselves good by using Chiron’s healing hand to help mend past wounds, we are actually hurting others by triggering their past upsets in order to make ourselves feel better. The cosmic showdown continues all week, hitting the high notes on the 14th and the 16th. July 14th brings a tense emotional standoff between the Sun and Pluto, who is retrograde in Capricorn. Power struggles and confrontations will rock our sentimental worlds, leaving us speechless. The week rounds off with the lunar eclipse occurring July 16th, in the sign of Capricorn. This eclipse is super heavy and will make us reflect within, with the endgame of implementing internal growth and change.

Aries

March 21-April 19

This week, you’re debating the next phase of your life. You’ve made headlines and waves in your career, but now you are thinking about ditching the glitz and glamour for a simpler life. While this may be challenging, due to your insatiable determination to be number one, you are realizing that there’s more to your existence than fame and acclaim. Your values and needs are shifting, which is making you reassess long term plans and trajectory you’ve mapped out. Remember, “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” Go with the flow to ensure long term happiness.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

It’s been a hard few weeks for you, as you’ve been working through deep seated emotional trauma. Currently, you are evolving, by working through karmic past life lessons. Having made the same mistakes before (in another time and life), you are trying to shake the past. Please remember, growth is a process and you are working through many old wounds. You will be able to let go of some past hang ups and start to heal your heart this week. Just don’t rush the process. It takes time to mend lifetimes of heartache. But, you’re on your way to enlightenment.

Gemini

May 21-June 20

You’re a cosmic anomaly. Always changing your views on matters has allowed you to breeze through situations that may be stressful for others. Now, you are learning that giving in all the time and not sticking to a stance isn’t the right way to handle certain situations. The middle ground is causing you more anxiety and emotional pain than ever. Setting limits and implementing boundaries with others will give you strength, as no one can be a threat to you if you stop them in their tracks. Your guard is up this week, but only to protect your energy.

Cancer

June 21-July 22

It’s tempting to fall in the rapture, it often leaves you lost and powerless within relationships. No one likes to lose control, especially not you. This week, you are facing issues in partnerships head on, as you try to balance out ongoing injustices, frustrations, and resentments that have been brewing for a long time. The only issue is that you don’t want to argue with others. You want them to simply see your point of view, which may not happen. Try other methods such as drafting an email or writing a letter to get your feelings out in the open.

Leo

July 23-Aug. 22

You need a break from daily stresses this week. All the ongoing quotidian drama and irritations have gotten the best of you. You need time to yourself to heal, by implementing much needed self-care into your daily repertoire. Taking care of yourself is key this week. Also, give yourself a moment to breathe. This means stepping away from situations and people who are psychically draining your energy. Treat yourself to a crystal bath, with sea salt and a dash of Florida Water to cleanse your auric field. Not only will you feel better, but the energetic vampires will be gone.

Virgo

Aug. 23-Sept,22

Here you are, again, at a turning point within partnerships. While it’s easier to blame others, you are starting to see your hand in these ongoing circumstances. The issue is that you are unsure of the future because you’ve been patiently waiting on others to change the partnership. Your chameleon and flexible heart has to move forward, and the stagnation is making you feel stir crazy. Ask yourself if you want to continue down this path and if you’re feeling valued. The most important person in your life is you, and you should put yourself first—especially when others aren’t.

Libra

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Your consciousness is now changing, allowing you to let go of past upsets and transform your inner perspective. The lunar eclipse will bring all your internalized and suppressed feelings out to play, but you will have the opportunity to heal—if you choose to release the pain within. Learning to forgive yourself will prove challenging. Be easy on yourself. Write yourself an apology letter to mend your heart. Take care of yourself through implementing extra self-care. Most importantly, be patient with yourself and trust the process. Once you forgive yourself, you will be able to heal and be at peace.

Scorpio

Oct.23-Nov.21

It’s time for you to take your power back by speaking your mind. You’ve been lost in emotion for too long, which has made you question all of your choices. Instead of blaming yourself, which you certainly don’t deserve, confront the person who is the cause of your upsets. You don’t have to have a face to face meeting, or even send a message. You can have a mock conversation to get the pain out of you and to heal your heart. Not only will you confront past monsters, but you will also squash the hurt that’s laid dormant within.

Sagittarius

Nov. 21-Dec.21

You’ve been unsure of what the future holds, which is causing you to act out in different ways. While living in flux agrees with your free spirited personality, you are seeing that not being grounded is causing uncertainty within yourself. You’re grasping at straws to keep your life solid, which is causing tensions within. The issue is a bit more complex than it appears, as you are trying to embrace and embody different lifestyles for the sake of convention. Don’t wear a different mask for others. Be true to yourself. You’re a complex being who is hard to pin down.

Capricorn

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

You’re closing the door on the past and reshaping the way you think this week. An internal reprogramming will help you move towards a place of transformation and evolution. The caveat is that your inner growth will require you to let go of people and situations that are not serving your highest purpose. While it’s often not easy to move on easily, you are ready to implement major advances into your life. You’re ready to step into your new chapter. Take baby steps toward growth. Don’t jump in head first. Move slowly ensure stability in your life, rather than uncertainty.

Aquarius

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

You’re facing off with major issues this week—many of which you’ve placed on the back burner of your subconscious mind. Working through the past will prove challenging, as you will have to confront your shadow self. However, if you learn to embrace your darker sentiments and resolve deep seated insecurities, you will be able to come out on top. Don’t rush through the healing process. Also, don’t put a temporary band-aid on your heartache. Allow yourself to cry and feel your feels. Take your time. Remember, it hurts when it heals too. Give yourself an emotional break and extra love.

Pisces

Feb. 19-March 20

Your hopes and dreams are transforming, as well as your sense of self. Before you flap your fins and swim away in frustration, understand that you are gliding into a better emotional space. While you may be cosmically forced to revise your mindset this week, you are seeing that you have to be your own person in order to achieve your goals. Removing yourself from the flock will come with anxiety, but it will allow you to achieve success and shine brighter than ever. Your future aspirations are evolving into a bigger dream. Don’t let fear hold you back from achieving success.
