Astrology Forecast for July 30 - August 5, 2012

We will start this week in a bit of a stupor from last week's seeming chaos and confusion. Many friendships were strained and communication still seems to be off, making everyone a little extra anxious. Currently, with Venus at a favorable aspect with Jupiter, there is the opportunity however to tie up loose ends in romance and friendships, as we find ourselves able to communicate big picture changes, past issues and accomplishments, and topics of balance and structure with friends. This will still be tricky. Just concentrate on the topics themselves, rather than personal issues and hurt feelings, and all will go smoothly. Do be wary though, as our emotions are likely to make us feel a need for power and control currently with the Moon in Capricorn. This is also a great time to make new friends, and in fact, many could meet someone this week who is a key for their progress and happiness in the future.

Tuesday, we will be drawn to health concerns, which could create some conflict in the morning, as the Moon squares with Mars. These may or may not be issues that have a solution, but if they do, today will be a great day to start making changes. There will be a determination towards this end that can be a great motivator. Later in the day, the concerns, complicated by any conflict will likely cause some deep contemplation on how we allow personal matters to affect our interactions with others, as well as personal issues of willpower and control that you can either let lead you into a depressive state or motivate you to make change.

Wednesday morning, as the Moon opposes Mercury, we will find ourselves unable to express our feelings appropriately, and may even find ourselves acting out of character later in the morning due to resulting frustrations. Things will make more sense later. Breathe deeply and wait it out. In the afternoon and evening, we will feel the tensions ease a bit, as there is a compelling need to just "let go" and let things be for now.

Thursday, we will find ourselves better able to talk about things, without creating too many waves. If you can save this kind of conversation, do it today, especially early in the morning, as the Moon comes into a favorable aspect with Mars. There is the opportunity for key communications in career or social advancement today. Make sure you take any opportunities given to you to converse with key people. Friday will be much the same, so take advantage all you can.

Saturday, we will likely wake feeling a little disillusioned and down on ourselves. Don't fall into it too much, as it is likely just a passing feeling and has nothing to do with what is really going on. Sunday presents the opportunity to think on how we have directly or indirectly created the present by our own actions. Early in the morning, we may find ourselves straining against thoughts of the present dynamics of friendships and love interests. No need to discuss these things right now, because the conflict is within ourselves presently. Sunday afternoon into evening, we will feel ourselves recharge a bit, and things will begin to reconcile and make sense again.
