🦋 Sunday, July 19th
- Moon in Libra
- Jupiter in Leo trines Neptune in Aries
We open the week with Moon in Libra and one of the most magical aspects of the year, as Jupiter in Leo forms a flowing trine to Neptune in Aries. This is expansion meeting imagination, faith meeting fire, and it makes today one of the most powerful manifestation days of the entire summer. Spend time with your vision. Write it out, speak it aloud, or simply sit and feel the life you are calling in as if it is already yours. The Moon in Libra softens the day with beauty and connection, so share your dreams with someone you love or create something beautiful around them. The universe is inviting you to believe in more, and belief is exactly what this aspect rewards.
If you trusted that the universe was already saying yes, what would you ask for?
🌱 Monday, July 20th
- Moon in Libra
- Jupiter in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius
The Moon stays in Libra as Jupiter faces Pluto across the sky, and the energy deepens. Jupiter in Leo wants you to grow, shine, and take up space, while Pluto in Aquarius asks who you are becoming and why. Together they surface the places where your dreams meet your power, and the places where old patterns of control or doubt still hold the pen. Notice what feels intense today, especially around ambition, recognition, or influence. Intensity is simply energy asking to be directed. The invitation is to grow without grasping, to want what you want from a place of worth rather than proving. The Moon in Libra helps you keep balance while the big players do their work.
Where are you ready to claim your power without needing to control the outcome?
⚡ Tuesday, July 21st
- Moon enters Scorpio at 6:35 AM PT
- Jupiter in Leo sextiles Uranus in Gemini
The Moon dives into Scorpio this morning while Jupiter forms a bright sextile to Uranus, and breakthroughs become the theme of the day. This combination sparks sudden ideas, unexpected opportunities, and flashes of insight that can shift your whole trajectory, especially around creativity and communication. Stay open to the thought that arrives out of nowhere or the invitation you did not see coming. Moon in Scorpio adds focus and depth, helping you feel which opportunities are truly aligned rather than simply shiny. Say yes to what excites you and stretches you at the same time. The sky is wiring new possibilities into your path, and your only job is to stay curious.
What unexpected idea or opportunity is asking you to say yes this week?
♌ Wednesday, July 22nd
- Moon in Scorpio
- Sun enters Leo at 12:13 PM PT (Leo season begins)
Welcome to Leo season! The Sun comes home to the sign it rules at 12:13 PM PT, and this year the homecoming is bigger than usual, because Jupiter is already there waiting. This is the first Leo season in twelve years with Jupiter in Leo, which makes the next four weeks a season of amplified joy, courage, creativity, and heart. Leo asks you to live from your heart, to celebrate your life, and to let yourself be seen without apology. With the Moon still in Scorpio today, the season opens on a deep note, inviting you to feel what shining truly means to you beneath the surface. Set an intention for how you want to show up this season. The Sun is lighting the way home to yourself.
What would it look like to live this season with your whole heart?
⏩ Thursday, July 23rd
- Mercury stations direct in Cancer at 3:51 PM PT
- Moon enters Sagittarius at 6:08 PM PT
The moment you have been waiting for arrives this afternoon as Mercury finally stations direct in Cancer. The retrograde that began in late June is over, and communication, plans, and decisions begin moving forward again. Everything you reflected on, revised, and clarified over the past few weeks can now be acted on. Be gentle with the first day or two, since Mercury takes a little time to come back up to speed, but feel free to send the message, sign the paper, and restart the conversation. In the evening the Moon fires into Sagittarius, lifting the mood with optimism and a sense of adventure. The energy of the whole week exhales here. Forward motion is back.
What conversation or plan are you ready to finally move forward?
☀️ Friday, July 24th
- Moon in Sagittarius
- Mercury in Cancer sextiles Venus in Virgo
Moon in Sagittarius brings a bright, adventurous energy to the day while Mercury, freshly direct, forms a sweet sextile to Venus. This is a beautiful aspect for heartfelt conversations, for saying the kind thing you have been meaning to say, and for reconnecting with people you love. Words flow with warmth and care today, so use them. Tell someone what they mean to you, smooth over anything that got tangled during the retrograde, or simply share your excitement about what is ahead. Sagittarius wants you to expand, explore, and laugh, so follow the fun. Joy is not a reward you earn at the end. It is the fuel that carries you there.
Who deserves to hear something kind and true from you today?
🗺️ Saturday, July 25th
- Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon rides through Sagittarius all day, and the invitation is simple: expand. Get outside, take the day trip, try something new, or dive into an idea that stretches your sense of what is possible. Sagittarius is the explorer of the zodiac, and with the Sun and Jupiter both shining in Leo, the sky is rich with fire energy that wants to move. Follow what feels alive. This is also a beautiful day to zoom out and look at the bigger picture of your life, noticing how far you have come and where your heart wants to go next. Adventure is not always a plane ticket. Sometimes it is a question you have never let yourself ask.
What adventure, big or small, would make you feel most alive right now?
🔄 Sunday, July 26th
- Moon enters Capricorn at 6:45 AM PT
- Saturn stations retrograde in Aries at 11:38 AM PT
- Sun in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius
- The Lunar Nodes shift into Aquarius (North) and Leo (South)
We close the week with one of the most meaningful days of the summer. The Moon enters Capricorn this morning, Saturn stations retrograde in Aries, the Sun faces Pluto across the sky, and the Lunar Nodes shift into Aquarius (North) and Leo (South), opening a brand new eighteen month chapter of your soul's growth. The Nodes point to where you are headed and what you are ready to release, and this new axis invites you to grow toward community, vision, and your unique role in something bigger, while releasing the need for approval and applause. This shift also sets the stage for the Solar Eclipse in Leo on August 12. I wrote a full blog on everything this new chapter holds, and you can read it here. Alongside this, Saturn's retrograde, which lasts into December, invites you to review the structures you have been building, and the Sun and Pluto opposition asks where you are ready to stand more fully in your power. Take today slowly, tend to your foundations, and let this reflective energy show you what is worth building next.
What are you ready to release so the next chapter of your becoming can begin?
