Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for July 1 – 3

by Jeff Jawer

The weekend starts off with a cosmic Big Bang as the Cancer New Moon on Friday morning is a powerful Solar Eclipse. The safety and security sought in this sensitive sign may be hard to locate with shocking Uranus probing Pluto and constraining Saturn making tense contacts to this Sun-Moon conjunction.

We�re not likely to find much comfort as sudden changes of circumstances and shifting moods have destabilizing effects. Unresolved emotional issues that have long been kept under wraps may surface and trigger very strong feelings. Blame, pity and guilt often arrive under these planetary conditions, yet they need to be gently set aside as none help relieve suffering or restore trust. Taking responsibility for ourselves with a commitment to learn and grow is a much more rewarding response that can put a relationship back on more solid ground.

Although the bigger issues that have been awakened aren�t going to disappear overnight, the Moon�s shift into enthusiastic Leo will brighten the mood on Saturday. It�s a time to look forward with creativity and confidence rather than looking back with trepidation, fearing the past will repeat itself.

Celebrating life with an open heart and a generous spirit allows us to give more to others and receive more in return. Pride might become a stumbling block if we take ourselves too seriously now. We can be competent without keeping score so carefully that we start competing with one another. Adopting a playful approach to our relationships helps to heal wounded hearts and begins the process of restoring more joy to our personal lives.
