Astrology highlights for the week of July 17, 2022:

 

00:49 – This week's theme is: No time for Circus Monkeys! The three big things to focus on this week: First, the fixed star Procyon is active this week, conjunct to the Sun (25 Cancer). Bernadette Brady likens this to fireworks – it's great to watch but fades. Opportunities may present themselves that you have to grab quickly, so if you're offered an opportunity, consider if it helps to diversify your talents! Also, faulty structures may collapse this week – keep an eye out. This star is also associated with dog bites and hydrophobia (fear of water). Stay cognizant about your surroundings this week, too.

 

02:34 – Second, we'll have an Aries Last Quarter Moon on the Sabian symbol, "A large disappointed audience." The Cancer Sun opposes Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto's symbol is "A large aviary," and Celeste makes interesting observations about what is happening in Sri Lanka: Is there an increase in dissatisfaction with governments in general? When Pluto is activated, there can also be a feeling of empowerment and a drive to transform – do watch out for emotional reactivity! On the plus side, there can be profound emotional healing. Celeste also reviews the Lunar Phase Families, so consider these dates: mid-April 2020, mid-Jan. 2021, mid-Oct 2021, and mid-July 2022. What stories connect for you? (To learn more about the Sabian symbols, revisit Episode 8, "Sagittarius Full Moon: As the Fog Lifts, Clarity Arrives"!)

 

06:20 – Third: Leo Season begins on Friday! The Sun is at home in this fixed fire sign, where life renews itself. Consider how you can be the sovereign in your own life. Leo, the lion, is a leader: What are you loyal to? For a song of the season, check out Katy Perry's song Roar! Leo is also about self-expression and confidence. Leo season is also a great time to organize something on a large scale. (It's also an excellent time to join Celeste's Leo New Moon Intention Setting Workshop!)

 

08:46 – On Sunday, the word of the day is FLOAT. The Pisces Moon invites you to drift and dream. Accept all opportunities snuggling, as it is healing.

 

10:26 – On Monday, the theme is OPPORTUNITY. The Moon enters Aries at 11:22 am PT. If opportunities present themselves, trust your instincts and take action.

 

11:50 – Tuesday's focus is IMAGINATION. Stay present for a light bulb moment. Consider the positive use of imagination vs. letting fear, paranoia, or obsession take over.

 

14:17 – On Wednesday, the word is EXPLOSIVE. The Last Quarter Moon is at 27 Aries at 7:18 am PT. The Moon enters Taurus at 11:22 am PT. Observe the conversations around you. Stay grounded, plan your next steps and keep things simple.

 

15:35 – On Thursday, the theme is PROGRESS. What we nourish grows. What are you feeding? Are they the right things? Release what is no longer serving you. Today, you may meet people who can help you.

 

17:11 – On Friday, the focus is GENEROSITY. The Sun enters Leo at 1:06 pm PT. The Moon is in Gemini at 10:10 pm PT. Have a fun evening. Connect and socialize with friends, neighbors, or siblings.

 

18:22 – On Saturday, the word is EXPANSIVE. Learn something new, enjoy yourself and have a laugh.
