Familiarity breeds false comfort. Consider how you want to hold power and how you want others to hold their own. That’s all the information you need to seize the possibility that’s staring you in the face. 4/4
July 19: Waxing Moon in Libra sextile Jupiter/opposite Neptune/trine Pluto and Uranus
Mars sextile Saturn
Jupiter trine Neptune/opposite Pluto/sextile Uranus (next three days)
There’s tensions at play between what you think you like and what will liberate genuine joy. 1/4
-who has power
-how power is gendered
-the kind of power we enjoy holding and the kind we prefer others hold for us
-what relational structures empower or disempower us and whether we like it
3/4
Today feels like trying to reconcile the profundity of underworld with that of the whole sky - they’re interdependent but also totally different worlds. Depth in one leads to a dead end. In another, the awkwardness of creation. 2/2
July 18: Waxing Moon in Virgo sextile Sun
Uranus trine Pluto still v active
It’s tempting to make comparisons between then and now to satisfy the compulsion for certainty but they’re not the same. Remember that depth can go in any direction, not just down. 1/2
When something is limited edition, people want more. Avoid the trash trap of quantity. Let taste be your guide. If plans aren’t sliding into place they would’ve been less than stellar. Revisit the drawing board even if it seems extraneous and role with the punches of inspiration.
July 17: Waxing Moon in Virgo square Uranus/conjunct Venus
Uranus trine Pluto (6:43am CET tomorrow)
We’re abandoning what we can’t shift in favor of a more relational approach that moves the needle. Pragmatism has a satisfying sort of beauty. Sacrifice heightens suspense. 1/2
The stage just isn’t ready. The script and cast might need adjustments but don’t make any rash edits or cuts. Release the push for perfect and lean into the idea that today is just practice. 2/2
July 16: Waxing Moon in Leo, void all day
→ enters Virgo 2:07am CET tomorrow conjunct the South Node
The dress rehearsal feels off. There’s a misconception that changing the fit, the hair, the makeup will make it work but there’s nothing wrong with your presentation. 1/2
Take a cinematic view of whatever you’re working on. Give it a frame and moody lighting. All these things make it appealing to watch. But don’t forget what the movie’s about. 2/2
July 15: Waxing Moon in Leo sextile Mars/trine Saturn
Uranus sextile Neptune
Today feels like we’ve broken the clock but we’re still running it. Exist on all time zones at once. It’s giving Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation. Remember, everyone’s having a midlife crisis. 1/2
The solar way is sovereign. Needs no walls to cast light. Does not question how much space to take up. Does not compare worth. Leads not with doubt but with generosity. So, now that you have the container (or have freed yourself from it), where and how are you going to shine? 3/3
July 14: New Moon in Cancer conjunct MercuryRX → enters Leo 00:35 CET (tomorrow) conjunct Jupiter/ sextile Uranus/trine Neptune/opposite Pluto
Final lap. Grand baton pass from Cancer to Leo. Recovery time, but the race is effectively finished. 1/3
I’ve called this summer a shift from lunar to solar consciousness. The last year was about making safe containers in the Cancer part of your chart - safe in order to create. The lunar way shifts its shape to meet and match the moment so the container was not constant. 2/3
From this vantage point, you *can* conform to another’s wishes but only if you’re responsible to your own limits. If you’re forced to take on someone else’s priorities to make a relationship work, well - it probably won’t. Find a compromise or cut and run. 2/2

Sometimes getting clarity means realizing you’re clearly not on the same page. When you understand your truth, it’s harder to people please. 1/2
This cazimi is less an external data download, more a reboot of your body’s internal wisdom. Any eeriness is fate trying to catch your attention. Ask what you need to fortify your intuition. Your true feelings are often more vital information than any paper evidence you can find.
July 12: Void Balsamic Moon in Gemini → enters Cancer 00:46 CET tomorrow MercuryRx conjunct the Sun (cazimi) at 20° Cancer perfects 3:25am CET tomorrow
Today’s vibe is a little ominous but once the Moon enters Cancer, we start to get clearer gut instinct. 1/2
Empty the closet. Omit what you don’t need. Removing reveals finer lines and clearer limits. Check things off by just doing it or cross out what you don’t actually have to. High probability for doomscrolling today. Avoid that abyss by reading a thing that’s been on your list 2/2
July 11: Waning Moon in Gemini conjunct Mars, enclosed by malefics 15:16-00:11 CET sextile Saturn
Venus with the South Node
A very good time for tasking what you don’t want to do. Energy and motivation are present, albeit accompanied by dread or exasperation. Set targets. 1/2
