Laurie’s Weekly Astrology Forecast: July 15, 2024 through July 21, 2024

At 10:04 am EDT, Mars conjunct Uranus at 26 degrees Taurus. Anticipate sudden shifts and unexpected changes. This combines the chaos and unpredictability of Uranus with Mars’ attributes as a courageous warrior, action-taker, and “trigger-puller“. Anger and sudden outbursts can be anticipated.  This conjunction ignites a new cycle of action, for innovation and liberation, pushing us out of our comfort zones and encouraging bold action. Uranus’s influence in Taurus emphasizes a shake-up in areas we wish were stable and comfortable. However, we must embrace spontaneity and open ourselves to new possibilities that cannot occur without an outburst.

Find where Taurus falls in your natal chart to understand the area of your life that is being activated by this conjunction. This house will be the fertile ground for planting seeds of change and innovation.

Adding to the intensity of the day the Moon is in Scorpio, offering empowerment and deep emotional insights. The presence of the Moon in this sign encourages us to confront our fears, embrace our passions, and delve into the depths of our psyche. This can be a day of emotional realizations and breakthroughs.
