Week of 7.20.15

KAT'S WEEKLY OVERVIEW FOR JULY 20, 2015

The time following a New Moon is generally one of the best for launching new projects, goals and partnerships. And with the Moon waxing in strength, the combo of Monday's industrious Virgo Moon followed by Tuesday's collaborative Libra Moon (after 9:23a)and the Sun teaming up with efficiency expert Saturn, lending extra focus and follow through, you’ve got the wind at your back!

This productive energy carries through on Wednesday. Just watch out for a tricky aspect in effect until 1:36p. That’s when the Moon and a manipulative Pluto will be squaring off. This could manifest as jealousy or resentment from someone on the team who feels the need to assert their power and/or maneuver to usurp yours.  The good news is that on the heels of that aspect, we get a jolt of clarity and sanity, when a quick-witted Mercury teams up with realistic Saturn. This energy should help get things back on track. 

There;s a Void Moon Thursday afternoon (from 2:12p thru 10:06p), so try to get in and/or schedule any important meeting, decisions, or calls before then.

 If you've been looking for a time to make time with that special someone, Friday night’s your night! That’s when a smoldering Scorpio Moon starts slow dancing her way toward a sultry Pluto and...  well, I’ll let you take it from here.

WEEKEND FORECAST
It’s the first weekend under the fun-loving Leo Sun, and I don’t mean to be a spoilsport, but if someone asks you to take a ride on their dirt bike or go parasailing, Just Say No! Yes, I’m an overly cautious Capricorn, but the combination of a restless, impulsive Mars agitating a volatile, unstable Uranus can be sure-fire formula for accidents. This is not the time to be taking risks. Also that short-fused Mars is still in over-sensitive Cancer, so everyone’s going to be more touchy than usual. Not in that nice touchy-feely way, but in a snarling, “What did you mean by that?” way.  Tempers can flare and escalate.  It will be hard to avoid hurt feelings, especially among family and intimates.

So my advice for the weekend is to stick with the lazy Leo side of things. Lie low, in a hammock or lounge chair, or find a good log (like this gal did), and take some nice long catnaps.
