“Heating Up”: JULY 2023 FORECAST

Jul 1 – Mercury Superior Conjunction to Sun (09º  09′)

Mercury will pass on the far side of the Sun, furthest from Earth, ending its visibility in the morning sky and transitioning to an “evening star”. Our winged messenger will be unobservable for weeks due to the Sun’s glare.

Jul 1 – Closest approach of Venus (21°11′) and Mars (24°39′)

Hot before she slows to retrograde later this month, VENUS (peace & love) comes closest to MARS (sex & war) in fiery LEO, but can’t catch him. Instead, MARS pursues ATHENA (political strategy, justice warrior), finally catching up with her on July 11, first degree of Virgo.

Jul 3 – FULL MOON Capricorn (11º  18′)

…brings a culmination of ambitions and responsibilities. The Moon, in its fall in Capricorn makes it difficult to express our emotions freely, prioritising practical considerations over emotional needs, its energy heavy or restrictive. Patience and perseverance to overcome frustrations, delays and obstacles that lie ahead, later this month. Tensions with Mars/Athena sees anger brewing over strategic alliances that go against us. It’s not personal, just business (but you’ll take it personally all the same, and make it HARD).

Things start get crazy in the head around July 10, when touchy Mercury at the 29º of Cancer gets bit by Pluto, and it’s as if somebody pushed the wrong button to turn all hell inside out.

Talk about things on edge… Mars/Athena and the Nodes also about to switch signs. Mars will then move into Virgo to oppose Saturn and I think I mentioned about the Unholy Cross between Pluto and Nodes later this month.
