Week of 7/14 - 7/20
astrology forecast + collective tarot card for the week
Card for this week: 5 of Swords - weekly card from 12/2/24 (reversed) - that week was also a mercury retrograde! conflicts, misunderstandings, communication breakdowns all possible this week. you might be feeling worn down or defeated by the current life circumstances (who could blame you!) and you’re wondering where you can find support in weathering the storm. the 4 of swords and 6 of swords focus heavily on healing and self-restoration in pursuit of peace and as we know …. it is often through conflict and awareness of our wounds (5 of swords) that we’re able to reach a place of deeper healing. things are getting kicked up now so they can be resolved.
Transits/Astro forecast: mercury retrograde, last week of cancer season, first full week of Every Outer Planet In A New Sign. generational level change going down….. we’re in new territory! there’s a push/pull between reviewing the old (retrogrades)/closing out cycles and wandering into the great unknown. confusing, tender time! you’re getting vibe checked right now, roll with it. current retrogrades: mercury, saturn, neptune and pluto.
thursday 7/17 - mercury stations retrograde - here we go, folks! hold onto those files, allow plenty of travel time, repeat instructions for clarity. picking up where we left off back in april re: mercury retrograde business - might be closing some loops from then these next few weeks.
friday 7/18 - mercury rx sexile venus - relative synergy between communication and relationship desires. relative…..because we just started mercury retrograde! spend time with friends, cultivate an aesthetic, resume an art project. you’ll be able to speak your mind and channel your creativity through the retrograde chaos today.
saturday 7/19 - sun square chiron - soft spots getting poked today. you might feel a bit sensitive about your self-presentation. last time we had this transit was 1/8/25, right around the cancer full moon loosely conjunct the mars retrograde. where do you feel you might still be hurting or sensitive to external eyes? where do you feel like you’re not yet doing enough? give yourself some grace!!!
