Weekly Astrology Forecast: July 27 - August 2, 2020

Main Themes for this week: 

• Make a wise investment. With the First Quarter Moon in Scorpio on July 27, get creative and bold about your finances. If you’ve been disciplined with your spending until now, this is an opportune time to invest. Just be mindful of long-term complications and the fine print. Everything (and everybody isn’t) who or what it seems. 

• Patience, patience, and more patience. With Mercury in Cancer negatively aspected all week long, there is an increase of miscommunications and verbal disagreements, especially at the beginning of the week when Mercury challenges Mars in Aries. When feeling angry or mentally confused, think before you speak. Avoid acting impulsively. 

• Cooperation over competition. Instead of working against your teammates, public officials, parents, children, or authority figures, find a compromise. With the weekend’s vibration encouraging self-discipline and enforcing boundaries, you may feel physically and emotionally blocked in. However, when you rely on the support and kinship of others, a great deal can be done.

Fire Signs Weekly Message: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Fire signs, this week’s energies challenge your willpower and sense of self-control. With Mercury in Cancer and the Moon in Capricorn revealing how you cope with discomfort, it may be a struggle to complete the simple day-to-day tasks that you’re familiar with. However, this is an opportunity to sit with your subconscious thoughts and heal your mind. Be optimistic about the future. Greater days are coming. 

Earth Signs Weekly Message: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Earth signs, this week’s energies remind you to practice compassion and sympathy for yourself and others. With Mercury in Cancer and the Moon in Capricorn showcasing the strengths and weaknesses surrounding your closest relationships, try not to get sucked into the petty drama of others. If you feel the need to be a source of comfort and support, draw clear boundary lines. Avoid playing or entertaining the victim. 

Air Signs Weekly Message: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Air signs, this week’s energies encourage you to remain grounded in your professional and financial goals. Although Mercury in Cancer and the Moon in Capricorn bring conflict and delay to your career and home sectors, stay focused. Be intentional about scheduling and email correspondences. Double-check your work before sending it out. Also, be mindful of body language and tone of voice. You may be showing your internal frustration more than you think. 

Water Signs Weekly Message: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Water signs, this week’s energies remind you to practice self-care during times of increased labor and high stress. Although this energy can be unnerving at times, find peace here. What lessons are you learning as you unpack the memories and experiences of your past? If you feel anxious, find a creative outlet. Give yourself a facial, read a book, run a warm bath, and go to bed early. Find ways to align and center your energy.
