WEEK OF July 20 – 2 6, 2020
If you’ve been taking care of everyone except YOU, Aquarius, it’s time to switch it up. This Monday, July 20, features the second in a rare, back-to-back pair of new moons in nurturing Cancer that will energize your sixth house of well-being. Think back to a month ago, because you may already have felt a pull in this cleaner, greener direction near the solar (new moon) eclipse on June 21. But sticking to any sort of routine—much less starting one—was hella complicated, thanks to Mercury being retrograde from June 18 to July 12. The motivation to hop back on the wagon comes this Monday, but if you want to succeed with these “salad days,” you’re going to need a plan. Your brainy sign loves understanding the science and spirituality behind anything you do. Read up on the neurochemicals involved in hunger and satiety. Even if you’re not looking to drop a few pounds, Susan Peirce Thompson’s Bright Line Eating is a great resource for understanding your own brain. Mindful eating (drinking and so on) is also worth exploring. If you have the patience, try keeping a food journal for the week. Record how you feel before and after each meal and snack. Everyone’s body reacts differently, and you might realize that you’re actually fine with certain foods that have become “forbidden” by fad diets, while others that are supposed to be “good” make you lethargic and moody.
Speaking of cleaner and greener, these new moons are also impacting your financial flow. New ideas for earning could be sparked this Monday, ones that allow you to take better care of your body, mind and spirit. While it’s hard to be “picky” during a recession, you may be limiting your options with scarcity thinking. No, you might not be able to quit your day job NOW, but can you start making an exit strategy? The manifestation period for this new moon lasts six months, leading up to the Cancer FULL moon on December 29. Between now and then, you could make some important shifts with the way you do your daily work. Look at your expenses, too. Scaling back your hours or clientele might be possible if you’re willing to tighten up your belt in another area of life. We’re not talking about deprivation here, Aquarius. Living leaner doesn’t have to feel like a sacrifice if it means living with less stress.
How distant is “too distant,” Aquarius? Your indie-spirited sign needs a healthy amount of space, but starting this Wednesday, July 22, you might be the one who is craving closeness again. For this sudden shift, you can thank the Sun, which is beaming into Leo and your committed partnership zone (the seventh house) until August 22. This annual cycle always lures you into the couple bubble, but even if you don’t have a partner you can still follow your grafting instincts and start getting to know someone better. If you feel yourself getting clingy, you can always pull back and get re-centered in your individuality again. Take yourself out on a date or a long drive and day trip. This isn’t about blocking intimacy; it’s about keeping the sparks alive. Leo is your opposite sign, so when the Sun is in this position at this time each year, it’s easy to lose the connection to your own desires. And when that happens, you often get surly with the people closest to you. Your partners—in life, love, business, whatever—can be your mirrors for the coming month. Just know that you’re also prone to projecting and accusing THEM of qualities that live within yourself. If you catch yourself starting a rant with the word “you” (as in “You never/always do X…”), put yourself in the timeout chair, and don’t broach the topic until you can discuss it from a place of shared (as in “it takes two to tango”) responsibility. That’s the way to keep things balanced and all love!
