Before you know it, another celestial body station will make its presence known as Pallas is due for a stoppage and reversal at 12 degrees of Aries on Monday July 30. Pallas has much to do with problem-solving, strategy sessions and mental brilliance. You can tune into its potency even several days before it actually becomes motionless from the Earth’s point of view. In the meantime, you need to deal with an immediate challenge as the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (energizing 4 degrees of Leo and Scorpio) arrives on the scene at 1:57AM PDT. Be willing and even eager to cut through obstacles holding you back from being successful in your many fields of expertise. A major challenge today concerns a void lunar cycle starting in Scorpio at 8:39AM PDT that will last until Friday night at 10:19PM PDT. Giving you another bout of potential discontent is Mercury making an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to distant Pluto (12:14PM PDT). Take a respite from business-as-usual. Be a good listener instead of trying to figure everything out on your own. More advantageous and auspicious is an inspirational, 72-degree connection from Venus to Uranus (6:19PM PDT). Experimentation and improvisation in the arts is emphasized. Learn more about esoteric philosophy and the power of meditation to alter your life for the highest good.
