Forecast for June 29 - July 5
So I am up for a job writing weekly forecasts for a site and the site isnt up yet but I wrote this for it as a sample/draft type thing. I might also start doing individual sign forecasts, I'm not sure if the employer wants that yet. I just wanted to post this here and see what ya'll thought of it. Any critiques would be greatly appreciated!!! 💜💜💜
Yay! Venus isn’t in retrograde anymore! But do not worry, we still have plenty of retrogrades to go around.
Feeling a bit more sensitive and withdrawn? That is not unusual during this period due to Cancer season being in full swing as well as Mercury also being in this cardinal, watery sign. The planet of intellect, reason, rationalization, communication, and the conscious mind is in the sign of Cancer which is ruled by the Moon, a planet that operates very differently than Mercury. What happens when retrograde Mercury goes into Cancer? A more emotional reaction in our interactions.
We may be more inclined to lean towards emotion rather than logic, which can sometimes lead to conflict especially in the home or family due to Cancer being the most maternal sign in astrology. A mercury retrograde makes it difficult to complete plans and since Cancer rules our home, be on the lookout for practical things going wrong in your home. Home renovations, buying or selling a home, and as always be careful of technology going awry. (Buy a good phone case!)
It’s not all negative though, Cancer Mercury can help us reconnect with loved ones who we have lost touch with. Don’t be surprised if a family member who hasn’t reached out will try to mend broken fences out of the blue. Take this time to relax, breathe and take some time for introspection. Try to think of what makes you feel secure, comfortable, and emotionally at ease. What in the material world can help put your emotions at ease? We all need a comfortable place to retreat to.
Mars moved into fast paced, action loving Aries, the sign that it rules naturally, where it will stay until January 7, 2021. After the procrastinating, daydreaming nature of Mars being in Pisces it is a breath of fresh air to move into it’s home of Aries. All those fantasies you have been daydreaming during Mars in Pisces have the opportunity to become reality with Aries’ ambitious determination.
As a whole we might feel a desire to take back control of our lives, which can lead to some head butting. The Warrior’s biggest flaw is his impulsivity. Don’t confuse confidently tackling issues head on with rushing hastily into a situation due to an inflated ego.
Due to the emotional nature of Cancer and the fiery aggression of Aries we can either go down a road to victory with our loved ones and neighbors or unnecessarily create outrage due to our emotional impulsivity. Treading lightly and with purpose is very important especially in these times.
Cancel culture is a perfect example of people losing sight of what they were originally fighting for. What was once a fight for ridding our society of toxicity turned into shooting allegations at people and issues that were never real targets. Rushing into petty arguments will only waste time that could’ve been spent on real change in our world. Make sure to channel your energy efficiently.
Speaking of big change, Saturn has been in retrograde since May 11, 2020. Saturn rules Capricorn and co-rules Aquarius, two signs it will be jumping between this week. Saturn is a planet many fear but it is a necessary teacher. It has been dealing out karmic debts in Aquarius since March 21st. Aquarius here is trying to teach us to come together to change our society. The world literally stopped due to unprecedented circumstances which forced us to sit down and reevaluate our lives and what motivates us. We became even more dependent on our technology (Aquarius loves technology) to communicate and inform one another. Tensions rose while we all suffered from cabin fever, ultimately causing us to snap, and react dramatically when we witnessed great injustice and cruelty in our world. Our devices helped us document the injustices all around us. We joined together to fight back and rebel against the authorities who mistreated us.
The Saturn retrograde caused us to look into our past and revisit past events that affect our present. Digging up old skeletons from way back in the closet, out of the dark and into the light to be reviewed and exposed. Ugly things that were hidden and as a society we were too scared to look into have been drudged up in order to reprimand shameful behaviors in the past.
On Thursday, July 2, Saturn will move back into Capricorn where it will push us to put in the effort of all that we started. With Saturn in Capricorn rewards are not easily reaped, hard work has to be implemented in order to gain rewards. Like a firm father, saturn in Capricorn teaches us that cutting corners will not lead to lasting results.
June 30 will bring about the conjunction of Jupiter and Pluto. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, luck, abundance, and faith meanwhile Pluto is the planet of death, transformation, evolution and renewal. Together they can help bring about the change we have all been seeking. All that has been starting earlier in the year by the conjunction between Saturn and Pluto on January 12. What started as a very difficult shift will bring hope to many. We can all use a little hope nowadays. All the changes we are going through are necessary but with growth come growing pains and Jupiter is trying to tell us to hold on and keep going, keep pushing on, try to embrace the changes as we push through to a new cycle in life. Flexibility is a very important attribute right now. And above all, have faith that after all the hardship, rewards will be waiting on the other side.
Finally on Sunday, July 5 we will experience a full moon in Capricorn further extending this theme of authority and control. Deep rooted feelings of not wanting to be controlled might surface. Watch out for confrontation and an abrasive attitude. Power struggles could be a theme during this time.
Capricorn's energy is very much career and work oriented. These power struggles could end up causing conflicts with your coworkers or boss and lead to impatience with one another. Moon in Capricorn could also bring to fruition all that you have been working towards since the beginning of the moon cycle, especially in terms of work and career.
This is not just any full moon though! It is a partial full moon eclipse! What does that mean? Werewolves. Just kidding! But energies will be all over the place, so you might just feel like one. Emotional ups and downs, maybe some chaos, a couple arguments out of the blue here and there but not to worry, everything is temporary. It would be wise to practice being self aware and control your impulses.
All in all, we have quite an exciting week ahead of us all. Self restraint and focusing your energy where it is needed seems to be the theme for the week.
