Daily Cosmic Calendar for July 20

Finally, we can all wave goodbye to Mars for at least a 48-hour time-period. Its replacement is a combination of highly favorable aspects – at least in the early hours as the Moon in Leo unites with Mercury (12:35AM PDT), the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Venus (8:52AM PDT), Mercury forms an inspirational, 72-degree tie with Saturn (10:06AM PDT) while Mercury also trines Pallas (2:31PM PDT).  With Mercury the key agent in three of these four alignments, communication channels are wide open and ready for business. Your problem-solving abilities and strategic mind-set are greatly enhanced. The Moon and Venus reinforcing each other’s strengths is terrific for building solid love bonds, augmenting your bank account, and adding exclamation points to your social agenda.  However, just when it seems that everything is coming up roses, Jupiter decides to make a caustic, 135-degree link to fellow giant planet Saturn (7:01PM PDT). Anytime these two largest planets in our solar system act like spoiled brats, human affairs tend to go awry. In particular, you want to be extra careful on the business, educational and professional fronts. Don’t bite off more than you can chew.  In addition, the Moon in lively Leo starts a void cycle at 10:19PM PDT – with this uncertainty time-span lasting until 10:25AM PDT tomorrow. Keep a low profile overnight while unsettled conditions rule the roost.
