We are in the midst of intense change. We have a “grand cross” forming in the heavens, which promise huge expansions and breakthroughs in our way of thinking. Our old belief systems are changing and so are our relationships to other people and to money.

At the same time we want more balance, peace and harmony. And we want more love and beauty.

The changes can feel a bit overwhelming at times, so make sure you take time out to enjoy the outdoors and the beautiful summer here in the mountains.

July 29: On Thursday evening Mars moves into Libra and will join Saturn in a few days. We will feel frustrated by the things that aren’t handled correctly. We are willing to fight for peace and harmony, but it might be better to try and work things out with patience and diplomacy.

July 30-31: On Friday and Saturday we are definitely fired up and we want to see some changes. (Uranus in opposition to Mars. Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter, Uranus and Mars aspects the Moon in Aries.)

Our minds are focused and detail oriented. (Mercury aspect Pluto and Jupiter.)

August 1: On Sunday we are longing for harmony and love. And we want to have some fun. (Sun in hard aspect to Venus.)

August 2: The changes we have been working on are reaching another breakthrough point on Monday. We are expanding our work and projects in new ways. (Jupiter squares Pluto).

August 3: The changes continue and we are full of energy and determination on Tuesday. (Jupiter and Pluto square and oppose Mars.)

August 4- 5: We are challenged to love and forgive ourselves on Wednesday and Thursday. We are longing for divine love and beautiful things. (Venus in aspect to Neptune and Chiron.)

August 6: Friday is an action packed day astrologically and we might feel a bit emotional and sensitive. Good idea to find ways to nurture ourselves and others. (Moon in Cancer in aspect to Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Pluto, and Mars.)

August 7-8: On Saturday and Sunday we are pushed to change our values and priorities. What used to be important to us is changing. This has a strong effect on our relationships to other people. (Uranus and Saturn opposes and conjuncts Venus, now in Libra.)

August 9: Our relationships continue to change on Monday. We want more out of our relationships. We also want more out of life in general. We want to expand and explore something new. Since Venus is in Libra we want more harmony, balance, peace, love and beauty at the same time. (Jupiter and Pluto aspects Venus.)

And we have a New Moon in Leo on Monday evening. There is a new beginning in how we express our unique talents and gifts to the world. We feel capable, confident and playful. Life is meant to be fun!
August 10-11:  On Tuesday and Wednesday we want to put our new ideas and desires into practical use. We are expanding and changing our work and creative projects. We also realize that the changes are intense on our bodies and we need to take good care of our health. Massage, Yoga, exercise and a healthy diet is important and so is time out in Nature. (The Sun in aspect to Jupiter and Pluto.)
