Starcodes: July 12-18

Starcodes reading for the week of July 12-18, 2024

What is worth loving, worth investing our heart and resources in the face of loss or the potential for loss? That is this week’s first question asked by Venus opposed retrograde Pluto. What radical changes are we willing to make, both in our habits and our world, in response to this understanding is this week’s second question as activating Mars conjuncts ingenious, revolutionary Uranus in pragmatic Taurus on Monday.

We’ve been on a journey for the last few weeks to check our priorities and get real, unearth secrets and deal with deeper issues. Pluto opposed thoughtful Mercury a week ago and started this investigation right after the first presidential debate. Pluto now opposes Venus in Leo and brings the question to our hearts. Pluto doesn’t want us to just give up but wants us to parse where to cut losses and where to double down and invest in a person, place, or project. Assess the results worth it in the face of life, death, magnificence, and loss. However we’ve been experiencing this story, it probably won’t be complete until after next week when the Sun enters Leo and opposes Pluto.

Once those planets get past their opposition to Pluto, that Leo energy can bring life to our summer. Along with ongoing political angst and near-operatic disasters, we can see a resurgence of that Leonine panache which helps us make the most of each moment- whether we’re dangling our feet in a river or meeting friends for wine and sunset or wandering an arts fair. Let’s take in the summer joy while we can so we can refill our wells for the work ahead.

Relationships may also need extra attention, appreciation, a moment’s joy. It’s an important time to observe power dynamics, because they can get wonky this week. Work together towards a goal rather than think imposing our will and winning a struggle with a beloved will bring happiness. Notice old habits of manipulation, undermining, emotional extortion in both love and politics. Honor the real feelings underneath, but don’t buy into that bad behavior. Particularly Sunday through Tuesday as the Moon enters emotionally intense Scorpio.

On Monday, muscular Mars conjuncts Uranus and amps up our willpower. It can also add heroism to our efforts to help, fuel our wars, add intransigence to our arguments, and cause accidents when we hurry. Let’s give this momentum a good place to go. Take on a worthy challenge.

The week ends on a more mobile, upbeat Sagittarius Moon which encourages us to get out and connect to our ecosystem.

starcodes astrology week of July 12 through 18

Friday, July 12: We can see things in extremes as Venus in Leo opposes Pluto, so let’s be careful what decisions we make. We could be painfully aware of a recent loss or see our situation as more dire than it is. It can be easier to feel melodramatic than to notice the deeper levels of concern or longing in our hearts. Fair and equitable compassionate action eases our hearts under this kind Libra Moon; if we’re hurting, let’s help one another. Share real affection and grow the love. Evening lightens as the Moon trines Jupiter.

Venus opposes Pluto 8:11 AM, Moon trine Jupiter 5:58 PM.

Saturday, July 13: Be gentle and help make this a lovely, energized day with good priorities. Work gently around touchy sensitivities, we can find our allergies kick up or feel easily slighted and therefore irritable. Instead of feeling insulted, make it a teaching minute; most people want to be helpful even if they’re distracted. Look past small awkwardness and enjoy moments of beauty and shared common goals.

Moon sextile Mercury 6:18 AM, Moon square Sun 4:48 PM.

Sunday, July 14: We can get moody or need a quiet moment to concentrate as the Moon enters Scorpio. Explore the senses, notice what the body needs to feel more comfortable or delightful in this world. Deepen spiritual practice and make chores or focused work a contemplative practice. Anything else can make us seriously irritated as that Scorpio Moon squares Pluto and Venus. Do not play with jealousy; own suspicions and deal with them directly, without melodrama. If we feel snarkiness coming on, it furthers to get out of ourselves and find someone who’s woes we genuinely care about, and help.

Moon enters Scorpio 8:52 AM, Moon squares Pluto 11:01 AM, Moon squares Venus 4:54 PM.

Monday, July 15: Some serious decisions need to be made to prune or cut back to create room for healthy new growth. Most people will be fine and focus on their work; momentum builds where we have a clear goal, but this same momentum can instigate accidents, arguments, or mechanical confusion unless we stay present while Mercury quincunx Saturn and Mars conjunct Uranus. Details can require patience just when we want to run ahead, but those details could be essential. It furthers to use our muscles and get really tired in the pursuit of something important.

Mercury quincunx Saturn 2:56 AM, Sun squares Chiron 5:43 AM, Mars conjunct Uranus 8:04 AM, Moon trine Saturn 10:44 PM.

Tuesday, July 16: Let the coffee sink in, then get important interpersonal calls made early on. Midday, give people room to be obstreperous or provocative; some just want to stir the pot as the Scorpio Moon opposes Mars and Uranus but we don’t have to take the bait. We’ll have a more honest, humorous, and potentially hopeful response tonight when the Moon trines Neptune then enters Sagittarius.

Moon square Mercury 12:59 AM, Moon trine Sun 9:04 AM, Moon opposed Uranus 12:30 PM, Moon opposed Mars 2:04 PM, Moon trine Neptune 7:10 PM, Moon enters Sagittarius 7:24 PM, Moon sextile Pluto 9:19 PM.

Wednesday, July 17: Get moving, dancing, traveling, sharing as the Sagittarius Moon trines warmhearted Venus in the morning and opposes expansive Jupiter midday. Notice a lightness or sense of possibility and change in the air; we can see the work, but the path can seem more open. It may be easier to talk to strangers than to beloveds if we need more room and less personal baggage right now.

Moon trine Venus 9:07 AM, Moon opposed Jupiter 5:20 PM.

Thursday, July 18: Keep up the good changes as the Sun sextile Uranus and semi-squares Jupiter. Engage healing prayers, gentle truth, and good works; our hard-earned wisdom can be helpful to others if we share it rather than preach it as Mercury trines Chiron. Some people find hope so scary they use cynicism to stamp on other people’s new shoots, but cynicism is no more realistic than a bouquet of possibilities.

Moon square Saturn 6:49 AM, son sextile Uranus 8 AM, Moon trine Mercury 2:23 PM, Mercury trine Chiron 5:56 PM, Sun semi-square Jupiter 9:54 PM.
