Astrology Week July 28th - August 3rd 2014. Mercury begins its journey through the strong ego-oriented sign of Leo stimulating our ideas to increase creativity. Mercury, Jupiter and the Sun face each other with Mars in Scorpio on Sunday 3 August 2014 urging us to defend our rights. But we need to be tolerant of others views and be objective with our emotions thanks to the Moon in the harmonious Libra ...

At the beginning of the week, affectionate Venus in the sign of Cancer and Pluto in the disciplined Capricorn oppose each other offering a powerful energy to adjust the screws in our relationship. If there is something that we must do to transform our relationship with regard to this then now is a good time. If we use tenderness and express our feelings with Love balancing it with efficiency and being specific we can handle it without resentment.

The moon governs our emotions and will be transiting the logical sign of Virgo from the afternoon of July 29 to the early morning of Friday, 01 August, inviting us to use our sensitivity in a practical way and truly serve those around us.

In its journey through the sign of Virgo there will be harmonious contact with Mars in Scorpio giving us the opportunity to work with our passions and our desires channelled into something constructive. It promotes research in detail. Although it also forms an opposition to Neptune in dreamer Pisces suggesting we balance our objective reality and that which we'd like ... Let's avoid confusion and accept imperfection as part of our human nature.

Its harmony with the reformer Pluto and Saturn the teacher can influence us to be diligent with our emotions to achieve a goal and also harmonises with Venus in Cancer which should satisfy any creative need that requires practicality.

The First Friday of August and during the weekend the energy changes with Mercury entering the creative sign of Leo joining Jupiter and the Sun inviting us to play with high-quality ideas that allow us to increase our creativity, do something we enjoy intellectually and motivate us and enhance our joy.

Communication has colour, drama, spirit and volume with Mercury in the sign of Leo. Our convictions are directly related to our environment and influence our heart with humour, drama and ability to command.

On Sunday morning, August 3, 2014, Mercury and Jupiter will be within the same degrees of the sign of Leo, giving us the opportunity to expand our knowledge to understand that which we have not achieved yet. Their union fills us with enthusiasm to be interested in something that catches our attention and we feel the need to want to extend our knowledge about a topic of interest. Also, it can be stimulated in wanting to find some truth ... The latter is further emphasised due to the angle of defiance where Mercury and Jupiter in Leo and Mars in Scorpio feed research.

Jupiter and Mercury together in Leo encourage us to be tolerant of other views, but because they are challenged with passionate Mars in Scorpio, we can see in any situation where we have to defend our position with the risk of creating conflict.

The Moon in the sign of Libra just reminds us that we don’t need to be agressive to defend our way of thinking. We can simply act civilized and expose each of our reasons why we believe in something in particular.

You’re probably familiar with your Sun sign and its characteristics, BUT are you aware of how important the Moon relates in how we express our emotions? We are all emotional - some more than others!

We invite you to learn how the Moon’s sign, phase and place influences how you express your feelings and how we all relate to each other’s Moons. Please TELL your friends, SHARE, LIKE and recommend it. These 5 Wednesdays evenings from September 24th to October 22nd will be an insightful experience for those who are ready to jump in!
