Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for July 8 – 10

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Into the Deep

July 8 – 10

The mood-setting Moon’s presence in partner-oriented Libra adds an air of style and grace on Friday. However, the people-pleasing skills and polite gestures of this sign may mask a simmering discontent that can undermine relationships if it’s not brought out into the open.

Loving Venus, Libra’s ruling planet, opposes deep, dark Pluto, taking us to the depths of desire and into the shadows of self-doubt. We are especially sensitive to how others treat us, anticipating rejection even when we’re being praised. Yet this descent is really an exploration of unexpressed needs. It can serve to provoke necessary change in a current alliance or stimulate adjustments of style, taste and attitude to help in the pursuit of a new partner.

Happily, Friday evening closes with Venus’ favorable 60-degree sextile to generous Jupiter, which can end the day on high notes of hope and optimism. Yet sweeping negative feelings under the carpet is unlikely to work with the Moon in emotionally intense Scorpio on Saturday. This is the sign of “all or nothing” that either pushes partnerships to more meaningful levels of connection or starts building up walls to keep others out.

A key thing to remember is to remain calm and kind if moods turn south. There might even be opportunities to share the most intimate experiences for those unafraid to go deeper. Frivolous activities are less likely to be fulfilling than complex ones in which we are forced to face more serious issues. Intense physical activities and emotionally demanding movies, music and art can be so much more invigorating and inspiring now than keeping things easy, breezy and light.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, July 7th

Although the Moon is in peaceful Libra today, her challenging aspects run us through an emotional obstacle course. We may hesitate at first, but we will probably express our desires if we feel secure. However, others may be shocked by what we want now because romantic Venus squares unconventional Uranus. Meanwhile, a long-lasting Jupiter-Pluto trine increases the overall intensity and encourages us to reach higher and set more ambitious goals.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You need an emotionally neutral setting so you can tell those closest to you how you feel today. Although you claim that you want calm and tranquil interactions, you’re also longing for a bit of excitement. You might not be worried by what others think of your choices because you believe that nothing can get in your way now. Unfortunately, you may inadvertently overstep someone’s limits. Displaying a little humility now can help you achieve personal satisfaction.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your ruling planet Venus may bring sweetness into your life today in a way that is fresh and different. However, the opportunity you have for pleasure comes at a high price now. Keep in mind that your desire for simplicity means that you may have to set aside previous priorities. But don’t bother trying to get approval from a friend, unless you’re seeking to deepen that particular relationship. Remember, communicating your feelings isn’t all fun and games; it takes hard work and an open heart.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may believe that you should be discreet today because you assume that your quirky tastes will appear odd to those around you. It’s true that others might judge you harshly because your current preferences seem weird in comparison to theirs. However, they might also envy you and wonder how you created the life that you’re living. Don’t slip too far away from social conventions. You have to follow the rules just like everyone else.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You could turn out to be your own biggest enemy today, especially if you’re trying to calm your concerns about your emotional security. You long for the safety of a nurturing relationship, yet you may grow restless with a new situation. Even if you want to break out of your restrictive emotional bonds, balance your desire for excitement in the moment with the stability that you ultimately need.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may think that you know what’s best today and you’re willing to discard your old agenda if the right temptation comes your way. Unfortunately, your friends are not helping the situation by encouraging you to join them on their next adventure. Nevertheless, you need some playtime and may say yes if the invitation arrives when you are ready to escape. Just remember that your work will still be waiting for you when you return.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your friends or co-workers might surprise you today with their resistance to going along with a previously agreed upon plan. You may feel as if there is a mutiny in progress, but the plot is more likely a cry for freedom than a play for power. It’s futile to restrain the free flow of ideas. Even if a conversation makes you uneasy, you’ll probably feel better once everyone’s concerns are out in the open.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your plans are pulling you in different directions now, yet you realize you cannot take both paths. You’re not yet ready to close one of the doors in favor of another. Although you wish you were able to postpone your decision permanently, today’s events can solidify your thinking. Unfortunately, there are others directly impacted by your decision, and you cannot control everyone else’s reactions. Even if you are ambivalent, it’s wiser to just make a choice and then move on.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your feelings are growing stronger, yet this can make sharing them more complicated than ever. You can easily talk yourself into keeping your desires to yourself now because you’re fearful of other peoples’ reactions to your intense passion. Or, you might believe that your inner process isn’t anyone else’s business. Although you have sensible concerns, you would be smarter to take a risk and show your vulnerability.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your key planet Jupiter is naturally optimistic and today’s trine to intense Pluto can lead you to take your confidence too far. But looking good is easier today than feeling good. Although you aren’t purposefully faking your good mood, you’re still only revealing part of your story. Be aware of your tendency to hide your emotions because expressing them could be the catalyst you need to change an old behavior pattern.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s rather unsettling if you’re attracted to the exact same instability today that you typically try to avoid. But you may be totally fascinated by someone’s unorthodox style or radical ideas, even if you cannot see any practical value in it. Your unusual behavior might worry you, but don’t hold yourself back. Rest assured that your more traditional approach to life will return in a couple of days.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your key planet Uranus can often be emotionally detached, but today it brings a sudden awakening of attraction and desire as it squares aesthetically pleasing Venus. But you’re not drawn to the same old things; instead, do something that pulls you into new territory. For now, the crazier your idea, the more satisfaction you can derive from acting on it.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You reserve the right to be different today as spacey Uranus activates beautiful Venus in your 5th House of Romance. You aren’t interested in being just like everyone else, so show off the twinkle in your eyes and enjoy the bounce in your step. Don’t be afraid to move to the rhythm of music that no one but you can hear.

The Sun in Cancer
While the Sun is in Cancer family and home are the primary influences. Affection between family members is likely to increase. Familial bonds are likely to strengthen. Now is an ideal time to make improvements that make home life more comfortable and safe for all. Feelings of concern and compassion for the plight of others beyond the family should be quite strong at this time. Many may use this time to retreat and revitalize physical and spiritual energies.

Sun Opposition or Square Saturn
One’s picture of one’s self may be a bit muddled at this time. Self-doubt will dampen the spirit of many.

Moon In Virgo
Affection is likely to be expressed by proactive action. Overt displays of love may be difficult for many to muster. Much of the affection one is shown may looked upon as suspect. Avoid endlessly critiquing yourself and those around you.

Mercury In Leo
Logical thinking and consistent behavior are favored. While there may be a pronounced laid-back attitude towards life, an underlying need to succeed and solid planning will power progress. Now is a good time to further one’s education.

Mercury Sextile or Trine Mars
Persuasion through verbalizing sound ideas is a key to success during this aspect. Be wary of becoming dogmatic and verbally domineering.

Mercury Opposition or Square Jupiter
Ideas and schemes are likely to abound during this aspect. The trick will be to determine which ideas and schemes are actually viable. Focusing on the future is favored during this aspect.

Mercury Sextile or Trine Saturn
Focus and formulating logical solutions to challenges is favored during this aspect.

Mercury Sextile or Trine Uranus
The need for personal freedom is likely to be very high. Those who can wade through moments of chaos and confusion without panicking should do well at this time.

Venus In Cancer
The need to physically and spiritually express one’s love for their partner may be a very strong motivator. Indeed, the need to please may be so strong that it becomes so free floating that almost anyone could be the recipient.

Venus Sextile or Trine Jupiter
This aspect can lead one to be a bit indolent. If you need a break from your life’s current pace that’s great. However, if things in your life are at a critical stage, resisting the urge to take it easy is definitely suggested.

Venus Opposition or Square Uranus
The need for a tremendous amount of personal freedom is a key influence of this aspect. Relationships formed during this period are likely to be superficial and short lived.

Venus Sextile or Trine Neptune
During this aspect many will find giving far more rewarding than receiving. The arts are likely to be very attractive as either a pursuit or experience or both.

Venus Opposition or Square Pluto
This aspect can bring one’s passions to a boil. The need for both physical and spiritual love may seem almost insatiable in some. In some cases passions may erupt into jealousy, as some will feel the need to be in control of every facet of their relationship to feel secure.

Mars In Gemini
Short term projects are favored. The tendency to take on more than one project at a time could be strong, and should be managed to avoid taking on more than can be done. Mental labor is favored over physical labor.

Mars Sextile or Trine Saturn
Long term goals are favored by this aspect. The willingness to sacrifice and the determination to succeed will further ensure success will be realized.

Jupiter In Aries
Material gain and lifestyle security will be strong influences during this period. Many may take life much more seriously than they usually do. Tackling challenges from a practical approach is likely to yield positive results.

Jupiter Sextile or Trine Neptune
Maintaining an open mind to all possibilities is favored during this aspect.

Jupiter Sextile or Trine Pluto
Visions of what is possible on a grand scale are likely during this aspect. Those who set their goals according to their current vision are likely to do well.

Saturn In Libra
Intimacy may be more of a chore than a pleasure. Some will find their progress towards strengthening intimate bonds and attaining goals muted by feelings of inadequacy.

Saturn Opposition or Square Uranus
Those who aren’t afraid of a little hard work are favored by this aspect. Remaining focused and taking things seriously are likely to produce substantial rewards. The ability to quickly change to stay atop rapidly evolving circumstances is a very valuable asset at this time.

Saturn Opposition or Square Pluto
This aspect may make it difficult to commit one’s self to anything beyond the moment at hand. However, those who do take on new goals will put the full force of their nature into achieving them.

Iconoclasm, independence and self-sufficiency are likely to be major themes during this period. Traditional values will be challenged. Those with a pioneering spirit will flourish.

Uranus Square Pluto
A mental restlessness and the need for complete personal freedom are possible influences of this aspect. In some the need for total autonomy may be so strong that they will challenge any attempt to subdue their independence.

Gentleness, creativity, and the pursuit of spiritual truth are strong influences at this time. Many may find mysticism and unorthodox religions very attractive.

Neptune Trine Pluto
The exploration of spiritual issues is favored during this aspect. Introspection should lead many to better understand the underlying motives behind their behavior.

Strong economic gains can be made during this period. Pluto in Capricorn favors those who are able to make logical decisions and devise pragmatic solutions to the challenges before them.

Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card for July 5th is Venus

Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card for Today

Venus

Venus represents those qualities we commonly associate with the female/yin persona. Venus traits include fertility and the drive to create, unblemished beauty, love, passion, and togetherness. The occurrence of Venus denotes the dominating presence or need of the qualities listed above. While often very subtle, Venetian influences may have a negative impact unless they are balanced with an influence that can temper the drive of Venus.

As a daily card, Venus suggest you should allow your more feminine traits to guide your actions through this period. Subtlety, efforts to bring people together and allowing your creativity to run free are likely to serve you well at this time. However, like Mars, the powers of Venus are very strong and can do more damage than good if not balanced by other influences.

New Moon Report for July 3 – Venus in Cancer

Venus in Cancer

Sunday, July 3, 9:17 pm PDT, Monday, July 4, 12:17 am EDT

Love’s leading planet grows tender and self-protective in cuddly Cancer. The urge to return to familiar sources of comfort is an understandable reaction to outside pressure and internal insecurities. However, during the next nine days, Venus will follow the Sun’s rocky road of tense connections with Uranus, Pluto and Saturn to shake up relationships and self-worth. Finances could prove tricky, requiring innovation and flexibility since standing still or retreating might be even more costly.
