Prepare for a Full Moon Near July 4 and Lessons of Venus Retrograde

Our week begins with us reflecting on the lessons of the last several weeks, leading us to make choices regarding our bonds. This week, we take action on the reveals and rewards of Venus retrograde.

Monday evening, as the moon enters Scorpio, we have our first Mars-ruled moon since Mars entered Aries. Under these skies, we’re dealing with the inevitable part of life. Scorpio rules death, elimination, transformation, alchemy, and research. This is when we deal with the murky parts of our social structures and investigate what’s happening at the root of our dysfunction.

Tuesday is a busy one as Jupiter joins Pluto (in Capricorn), emphasizing our awareness of power and pushing us to achieve or change our legacy. As both of these planets are retrograde, this is a transit where we review our past achievements before we take the leap forward. In the relentless pursuit of our goals, there is a thin line between greatness and grandiosity. Pay attention as this transit only happens every 13 years.
