At the heart of this week stands a single day. On Wednesday, July 29, three major events take place in the sky at once and intertwine with each other. First, the greatest of them: the Sun and Jupiter form an exact conjunction at the 6th degree of Leo. This once-a-year meeting is an aspect where the themes of optimism, generosity, growth and luck reach their peak. Jupiter has only just settled into Leo, and here the Sun is at its strongest, in its own domicile; their union lights the first great flare of the abundance Jupiter will carry over the coming year.
On the same day, around the same hours, a Full Moon takes place at the 5th degree of Aquarius. The Moon fills exactly opposite the Sun and Jupiter; so this Full Moon is the mirror reflection of the Sun-Jupiter conjunction. Along the Leo-Aquarius axis, the balance between individual self-expression and belonging to a community is brought to light. A Moon that fills opposite Jupiter promises abundance and expansion on one hand, but on the other creates a tendency toward exaggeration, excess and overpromising; as enthusiasm rises, a sense of measure needs to be kept. The third event is the Venus-Mars square reaching exactness; a friction between love and desire, between refinement and hasty action, is felt, and this adds a tense undercurrent to the week's bright mood.
For the rest of the week Mercury continues speeding up as it moves direct in Cancer, and the post-retrograde recovery becomes more pronounced; communication, decisions and technical matters begin to flow again. The Mercury-Saturn square loosens as the week goes on, and the weight in thinking lightens. Saturn continues its retrograde motion in Aries; responsibilities and structures are quietly reassessed. Venus continues to advance in its fall in Virgo. The Moon, waning after the Full Moon, moves from Aquarius into Pisces, and the week turns slowly toward digestion after an enthusiastic peak.
