THIS WEEKS TRANSITS:
0712 | mercury trine jupiter: this transit is likely to give you a boost of optimism and favor any mental or intellectual pursuits such as balanced thoughts, higher level of comprehension, detail-oriented thinking, being open-minded to new knowledge or new belief systems (religious and philosophical views), and creative inspiration (new ideas). mercury trine jupiter is also favorable for travels and socializing with new groups of friends. the only thing you should be aware of with this transit is that overthinking could lead to mental distress.
0713 | venus conjunct mars: venus in leo conjunct mars in leo is driven by love, passion, intensity, intimacy, pride, confidence, power. venus and mars are the combinations of feminine and masculine, so think of this as a time to feel good about yourself (step into the spotlight; be authentically you), be certain about what you want out of your relationships with others (for some, this may be the test of whether or not you want to move forward or tolerate less than from your person), etc. venus conjunct mars may also give you the urge to create something great, but be sure to ask yourself if what your projects make sense (are the stemming from a place of passion?)
0715 | sun trine neptune retrograde: sun in cancer trine neptune in pisces can cause you to feel more sensitive to the emotions of others or perhaps even cause you to feel a little moody due to the heightened sensitivity — remember that being compassionate is a good thing, but too much can make you feel responsible of being an emotional dumping ground for others to the point you drain yourself in the process of holding space for them (know your boundaries). sun trine neptune can also influence you to see your situations or people with rose-colored glasses, meaning that you may be too invested in seeing the good that you don’t notice the red flags or consequences. sidenote: with this transit you may even experience an identity crisis (especially those of you have been trying to uphold a perfect image).
0717 | sun opposite pluto retrograde: sun opposite pluto is going to shine a light on our self-destructive behaviors and self-sabotaging habits (projections, power struggles, control issues, possessiveness, and unconscious impulses), which will help us become more aware of what transformations we need to initiate for ourselves — relationships (romantic, family, or close friends) could trigger you into this sort of awareness. if you choose to resist these changes, you could feel very defensive. sun opposite pluto may even highlight on those to feel more afraid of being vulnerable with others. this transit may also add to the energy of sun trine neptune by destroying any delusional perceptions you have about yourself (to make you see who you really are)
