Think back to May.

Since then have you…

….gained insights that have allowed you to assess how well you do or don’t maintain relationship boundaries?

…found yourself accessing new ways to tap into and trust your intuition?

…discovered how surrender and going-with-the-flow allow you to get to the same destination in a way that yields more ease?

…undertstood how art and beauty speak to your heart in more ways than you previously considered?

…connected to your dreams and further envisioned what your dream life would look like?

The reason I ask? Back in May we had two exact square alignments between Venus, the planet that reflects love and richness, and Neptune, the planet that invites in unity and the numinous. One occurred May 3, and the other—when Venus was retrograde (doesn’t that seem like eons ago?)—on May 20.

The final in this series occurs on Monday, July 27, which is what has me thinking that what came to our awareness back then may seem as if it’s approaching a more holistic level of understanding right now. Connect to the knowingness that streams forth, soak in the wisdom of your understanding, and surrender to the healing that may come through.

This week further emphasizes our potential to tap into our more compassionate, empathetic, and imaginative side, given it also features a Jupiter/Neptune Sextile and a harmonious connection between Neptune and messenger Mercury. Turning to your dreams, reading some poetry, spending a few extra minutes meditating, trying your hand at water colors, and/or staring out the window and letting yourself get lost in thought are some activities towards which we may have affinity.

Doing so may offer us opportunities to capture what would have otherwise been awareness shrouded from our sight. Insights may spring forth from our more intuitive and sensitive side. Be aware of the possibility, though, that any eclipsed thoughts and feelings that may emerge could stir us deeply, awakening something within that we may have avoided or toward which we’ve previously cast a blind eye. I say this reflecting that messenger Mercury is also opposite the Jupiter/Pluto Conjunction this week.

As the week nears its close, you could find that surprises abound. Be open to the invitation to shake things up, seeing how new routes may provide a richer experience of both freedom and progress than those usually traversed. A desire to rebel or innovate may capture us or others; be open to its inspiration while at the same time being very mindful should you feel like upsetting any proverbial apple carts; if you’re overcome with a desire to just quickly act to upend things, tune in to your deep self to see whether in the long run you believe it will be worth it or whether it’s just a momentary revolutionary urge that’s capturing your spirit. And given that the reason I’m sharing this is reflective also of the Sun/Uranus Square that caps off the week, remember one of my favorite sayings, that always feels apropos when Uranus is in play: Keep your knees bent (both literally and figuratively) and stay bouncy!
