Moon Opposes Venus; The Universe Puts Relationships & Your Social Life to the Test!

You may be feeling emotional dissatisfaction in intimate relationships and in your social life. A set of real emotional discontentment may lurk in every dark corner. The Moon in "Imaginative" Pisces Opposes Venus in "Tenacious" Virgo. Enhancing this energy, the Moon teams up with Neptune, creating a desire for fantasy, but since the Moon forms harsh aspects to Mars and Mercury, both in "Empathetic" Cancer, and also to Uranus in "Robust" Aries and to Pluto in "Security-Driven" Capricorn, a mix-mosh of emotions is in store. Venus, like Pluto are both in "Earth" signs encouraging us to yearn for security and stability  in relationships and in our personal lives, but Uranus in "Headstrong" Aries is setting out erratic energy and driving some into a freedom expedition to break all ties and forge ahead alone!   Furthermore, the negative planetary line-up combined with the Moon, Mars and Mercury are all in water signs, all ruling our emotional state. To boot,  Neptune splashes a sense of dreamy, fantasy-driven illusion to the mix setting stage for some real confusion and emotional quandary. Feelings and desires may tug and roil around you, and trying to cut an even balance may be a challenge. Today's beginnings may mature into tomorrow's turmoils, so don't fly off the handle and don't jump into something you're not sure of. Avoid conflict, if you can. Let the waters settle down a bit before making any rash decisions. 

Venus Takes on Both Mars & Pluto!

As we blast forward into this holiday weekend, the Moon in "Animated" Gemini forms an aspect to "Mindful" Mercury encouraging us to communicate through various media; phone, text, chat webcam, email, etc. Gemini is a jovial, friendly, and quick moving energy. The planet Mars is a mover and shaker, motivating us to get going. Mars is now in the sign of "Adventurous" Gemini. Both Mars and the Gemini Moon are connecting with  "Impulsive" Uranus in "Get-the-Ball-Rolling" Aries. The quote: "Look before you leap" is the phrase of the day. You may be faced with a sink or swim situation, or have to deal with impatient people, and may be feeling impatient yourself.  Jotting things down and flushing them out will help prevent rash decisions. Since the Gemini Moon is also forming a harsh aspect to "Disciplinarian" Saturn in "Relentless" Scorpio, you may be feeling under pressure from authority figures or people who paint themselves as The Boss! It's up to you to decide who's in control or to find a way to take control withing ruffling to many feathers. Finally, Venus in "Romantic" Leo forms negative aspects to both "Action-Packed" Mars in "Quick-Witted" Gemini and "Hidden-Agenda" Pluto in"Purposeful" Capricorn. There may be some tension in love, relationships and money. Arguments may become intense and explosive. It's a challenging day, however, the universe is calling us to make adjustments, use diversion and to cleverly circumvent issues. It may be necessary to redirect your energies in new areas, ventures and prospects. 

Shift Your Paradigm; Planetary Aspects Put You to the Test!

As the 4th of July rounds the corner, there may be some confusion about love, romance, career, etc. The tendency to evade issues by you or someone around you may be problematic. You may find yourself at a major crossroads. Circumventing the core issues may not help at this time. The Universe is setting the stage to make you deal with crucial matters at hand.  "Receptive" Venus in "Impressionable" Cancer is at Odds with "Unyeilding" Saturn in "Determined" Scorpio. Additionally, Venus is forming a negative aspect to "Otherworldly" Neptune in "Introspective" Pisces clouding your vision about love & creativity. The Sun in "Emotion-friendly" Cancer Opposes "Purging" Pluto in "Earthly-Minded" Capricorn. Deep philosophical insights about love and desire blend with an internal struggle to attain the status quo.  Self-assertion hits periodic roadblocks that can teach you where to pick your fights and where to circumnavigate them. When you hit a stumbling block, don't beat your head against a wall, but try inner change, as the problem may be within. Some of our worst obstacles, in retrospect, were never really there at all. Whittling away at your needs too insistently may only serve to magnify them and force a spiraling return to an over-tapped well. If you take what you need and be done with it, what you have will suffice, even if you have some reservations. When the tide takes you out to sea, the best advice is never swim against the current. A change in perspective and a paradigm shift may help you cope with the changes around you.
