The Week to Play! Astrology of the week of July 22-28, 2019

In the month of July we have experienced two eclipses, waves of intense energies, and Mercury in retrograde. It hasn't been easy, but it has given us opportunities to dive deep, let go, and evolve.
The good news is that this coming week of July is a nice breath of fresh air and it is all about PLAY!

Who doesn't love to Play in July?!

On Monday, July 22, the Sun moves from the sign of Cancer to the sign of Leo and stays until August 23. Leo rules the 5th house of the zodiac, which is all about children, romance, inner child, self-expression, and creativity. Leo is about charisma, fun, leadership, and joy. The Sun is about how we shine our light for the world to see -- our individuality and personality. This energy is light, playful, and wants you to tap into what makes you joyful. Sometimes when we relax and play the most creative ideas come to us.

Mercury is conjunct with Venus on July 24 and both planets are in the sign of Cancer. A conjunction means that each planet intensifies the energy of the other. Retrogrades are about reviewing the past. Cancer rules home and family. Venus rules relationships, money, what we value, while Mercury is about communication. Potential scenarios activated may include a family gathering, issues and conversations in the family around money, or possibly someone from the past may return for a very important conversation.

The only potential challenging aspect of the week to be aware of on July 24 is that the Moon will be in zodiac sign of  Aries and will be square to Pluto, Mercury, Venus and the Sun.  A square aspect in astrology means that the planets are in conflict or challenging each other. The moon governs our emotional nature and Aries is reactive. Be careful in these family conversations that emotional buttons are not pushed. People may be a bit sensitive.

Back to the positive aspects -- July 25th sees Mars (in Leo) trines with Jupiter (in Sagittarius) which gives us an opportunity to expand our horizons, move a project or dream forward. Mars rules action and Jupiter is all about luck and opportunity. Go back to a project that needs a boost. The energy is ripe to move it forward.

On July 27, Venus moves from the sign of Cancer and joins the Sun and Mars in Leo. She will be in Leo until August 21. Venus brings love and excitement, the Sun bring vitality, and Mars brings the energy of action. It is great combination of energies to connect with your inner child and play. Love and creativity blooms.

Remember to play.

Have a wonderful week!
