Okay kids, it’s time to put on your big girl/big boy pants and deal with some hardcore reality. Through Thursday warmonger Mars will be clashing with taskmaster Saturn in peace-loving Libra. Translation - ‘No, we can’t all just get along’. Not when authority figures want to restrict your actions and mavericks want to recklessly break the rules. This can be not only stressful, but potentially hazardous. Those born late in Libra may experience serious internal unrest, while those late Aries, Cancer, and Capricorn may feel bullied by others. This is a good time for hard work, but it may be difficult to gauge your progress under this influence. Here’s your mantra for the week - “If you don’t start any trouble, there won’t be any trouble.” Well, one can hope….

Tomorrow’s (July 18th) New Moon in comfort-seeking Cancer receives a nasty blow from taskmaster Saturn, making it difficult to get your emotional needs met. That shoulder that you seek to cry on is already filled and someone just beat you to the last helping of your go-to comfort food. Does the tune, “I can’t get no satisfaction” ring a bell? It will if you’re an Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn. It’s just a moment where things don’t feel good. Luckily, it passes quickly.

Venus, which has been retrograde since mid-May, goes direct today and Saturn which has been retrograde in Venus-ruled Libra also recently went direct. What this indicates is that you can begin to make progress with Venus ruled matters (romance, beauty, the arts, luxury goods). Now you can update your wardrobe, dye your hair some crazy new color, redo your boudoir, or have that nip and tuck without too much fear of buyer’s remorse. However, you should keep in mind that things won’t get completely back to normal until the beginning of August, which is when Venus crosses the degree at which it went retrograde. For those with Taurus or Libra Sun, Moon, or Ascendant, pretty soon you will be feeling like your old self again and you can begin to make progress with stalled personal projects.

With Sun in Aries (‘I want my independence!’) vs. Saturn in Libra (‘Let’s make this partnership official’) relationships, alliances, and partnerships of all sorts become very tense. Problems that have been swept under the rug cannot be avoided. And decisions about the future will have to be made.  Those born late in Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn are likely to feel the most pressured. Do you stay or do you go?

Until 2/3 Saturn & Neptune are positioned to make dreams happen. Saturn is hard work, determination, structure, & building something that stands the test of time. Neptune is vision, magic, sacrifice, & artfulness. They are the crossroads between fact & fiction. Together they allow you to bring the wildest dreams to manifestation providing that you are willing to do the work. Those born late in Air signs benefit most.

1/19-20 Sun in Cap squares Saturn in Libra creating major stress and making everything a bit harder than it should be. It may be especially difficult to deal with parents, bosses and other authority figures. When people or circumstances stand in your way it forces you to come up with a creative solution. The trine between Saturn and Neptune allows you to bend rules just far enough to make things work to your benefit.

All month Saturn & Neptune are perfectly positioned to make dreams happen. Saturn represents hard work, determination, structure, and building something that will stand the test of time. Neptune represents vision, magic, sacrifice, and artfulness. They represent the crossroads between fact and fiction. Together they allow you to bring the wildest dreams to manifestation providing that you are willing to do the work.

1/1 With Mercury vs. Mars there’s something that you need to get off your chest. Get it out and get over it. Don’t drag an old beef into the New Year. Instead of squabbling over small things, look at the bigger picture instead. Structure builder Saturn and dream maker Neptune are providing the perfect setting for you to stage the manifestation of a cherished dream. Build your future rather than rehashing the past.

With strength-building Saturn dancing with dream-maker Neptune over the next few weeks, the vibe is perfect for bringing dreams to manifestation. Rather than a short term payoff, this energy is about laying a foundation and building for the future. Acting on your vision brings tangible results! This is especially true for those born late in Aquarius, Gemini, & Libra. Be objective and devise a sound course of action.

11/8 - Mars (aggression) vs. Neptune (delusion) is still making it funky, but it’s a little less weird than it was yesterday. With Aries Moon (emotional freedom) opposite Saturn in Libra (relationship demands) people feel that they are alone in what they’re experiencing, but just about everyone is in the same boat. Well, except those born in early Taurus & early Capricorn. They are busy turning lemons into lemonade.
