July 29 through August 4, 2024
The week will unfold pretty smoothly until Sunday when a series of astrological events happen all at once! The main one to watch out for will be Mercury going retrograde that day, as we will start to feel the effects of its transition as early as Monday. If you haven’t done it, now is the time to back up all your electronics and refresh your computers and smartphones! Monday’s Taurus Moon is ideal for preparing for this retrograde, so get as much done as you can before the rest of the week scatters our movements. Tuesday and Wednesday’s Gemini Moon will bring new ideas to light, inspiring us for the future and encouraging us to don our thinking caps and do more research! Thursday and Friday will have us focused on home and family as the Moon wades through emotion-based Cancer. Saturday’s Leo Moon will insist we turn our attention to ourselves and rebalance on every level. Whatever is out of order, inside or out, needs to be addressed. We’ll have a Leo new Moon on Sunday, marking a two-week cycle of action, but with Mercury turning retrograde that same day, we may find ourselves rethinking our plans and goals for the next three weeks. Venus will also move into Virgo, asking us to take a closer look at our priorities and where we want to focus our attention for the next month or so. Basically, Sunday is a good day to rest and relax and not think too much about the future until this parade of planets gets situated in a day or two!
