Added protection and cushioning is recommended while Mercury retrograde continues to July 20, but don’t let it stop you or you could miss out. For the rest of July, the stars set an especially propitious backdrop.

Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune are now engaged in a grand trine alignment in the element of water. That creates a harmonious flow between the planets involved. They pool resources, support, and optimize each other. No matter what we may face, this water trine makes coping and creating easier.

Mars in Cancer, beginning Saturday, will heat up the grand trine potentials and the emotional barometer through the end of the month. Next Wednesday, Jupiter brings the alignment to its first optimizing peak, which will extend through next Saturday. Jupiter is the planet of knowing and expanded knowledge, of growth and opportunity, of beliefs, truths, journeys, and mission quests. On this same day, Uranus begins retrograde, a heating-up or pressure-cooker influence that keeps response mechanisms easily triggered.

Whether event producing or not, these transits are fertile, lucrative, synchronistic, and stage setting. Take special note of insights, impressions, and information that comes your way. You could coast and get by, but know that actions can be exceptionally well-timed on Wednesday or the day before. Go by feel, not by fear, and you could open a fortuitous door.

Aries
March 19 - April 19

It’s all about how you respond to the signals and the growing needs, theirs and, more importantly, yours. Mars in Cancer, starting Saturday, mobilizes all matters to do with home, family, legacies, and the residues of the past that are still crowding the present. Wednesday’s momentum shift can remove a barrier or a question mark and thrust you a big step ahead.

Taurus
April 19 - May 20

Jupiter’s recent advance into Cancer has already put you on the move. Mars in Cancer, starting Sunday, spurs you to more resourcefulness. When it comes to navigating your way, it’s not what you know but who you know that counts. A friend, ally, sibling, or client relationship grows in importance now. Wednesday turns it around and/or brings it together for you quite well.

Gemini
May 20 - June 20

Starting Saturday, Mars will help you to get an even better handle on what offers you the best bang for your buck. Jupiter in Cancer is already gifting you with amped up inner wisdom, empathic ability, and coping skills. Tuesday and Wednesday are especially opportune for finances, professional or personal ambitions, legal dealings, and matters of the heart. Don’t snooze!

Cancer
June 20 - July 22

The sun, Jupiter, and Mercury retrograde already have you nicely juiced up. As of Saturday when Mars advances into Cancer, you’ll hit the refresh button full on. Sunday/Monday could be instigating in some unforeseen way. By Tuesday/Wednesday, it should make a lot more intuitive sense. Take action and opportunity will reveal itself. Divine timing supports you. Things can work out in a roundabout way.

Leo
July 22 - August 22

Once Mars takes a dip in Cancer you are likely to feel more interested in chilling out than making the rounds. That doesn’t necessarily mean slowing down. There’s still plenty to keep you occupied. Perhaps you have a big event, project, or move to plan for. Sunday/Monday can bring distraction or disruption. Mid week keeps you and life humming along.

Virgo
August 22 - September 22

Jupiter’s recent advance into Cancer has really opened it up for you. Over this next year, Jupiter helps to make goals more attainable. It helps to increase your profit or paycheque too. Starting Saturday, Mars in Cancer directs even more focused attention to that specific target or goal. Sunday/Monday, relationships are tricky. Tuesday/Wednesday takes you past a hurdle and onto an emotional release.

Libra
September 22 - October 22

Jupiter in Cancer keeps your sights set high and rightly so. It’s an excellent time for the big push. Although there’s still another week of Mercury retrograde left, a wonderful grand trine alignment sets a lucrative planetary support system into place. Stay goal oriented and give it your best shot. Sunday through Wednesday stirs it up. Tuesday and Wednesday, make your power play.

Scorpio
October 22 - November 21

Usually Saturn’s transit through your sign is a tough one to get through. Yes, you have heavy rocks to lift, but as a key grand trine player, Saturn in Scorpio gifts you with well-placed sway, swagger, and an advantageous edge. It will push and empower you for the rest of this year and next. Tuesday/Wednesday, you’ve got it going on in spades.

Sagittarius
November 21 - December 21

It seems you have something major on the go or at least in the initial planning stage. Starting Saturday, Mars in Cancer adds more fuel to the fortuitous grand alignment between Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. Even though Mercury retrograde continues to Saturday, Wednesday signals the time to take that big, life-altering plunge into marriage, a family expansion, home purchase, relationship, or financial redirection.

Capricorn
December 21 - January 20

Thursday/Friday can keep you running around, but the Virgo moon makes for a productive and relatively smooth go. For the most part, the stars keep communications and relationship accords humming along. Starting Saturday, Mars adds more juice. Sunday/Monday could be a push/pull. Tuesday/Wednesday, the grand trine at peak can get it cooking, perhaps abruptly or unexpectedly so.

Aquarius
January 20 - February 18

Jupiter in Cancer has begun a potent healing, learning, and correction chapter. You can still be challenged by a work or health issue, but the grand trine in water loans you better coping skills. Tuesday onward clears the way for more workable avenues and solutions. Scout for work or talk to an official or decision maker.

Pisces
February 18 - March 19

For the most part you should feel that life is in a good flow. It will be even more so as of Saturday when Mars begins a six-week stimulus cycle. Wednesday stars are especially blessed for luck, love, travel, or social, financial, and creative opportunities. Go on instinct or impulse. It could prove to be a great move.
