Weekly Astrology Forecast — July 29, 2024 – August 4, 2024

Forecast

Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of July 29, 2024 – August 4, 2024:

This week starts with a waning crescent Moon in Taurus on Monday. This is an extremely favorable placement for the Moon as Taurus is a sign of its exaltation. It’s also involved in several harmonious aspects to the outer planets — Saturn, Uranus and Neptune — throughout the day.

The Moon moves into Gemini just before 10 pm UT, and forms another harmonious aspect to an outer planet (a trine to Pluto), which is also the last lunar aspect of the day. The Moon in Gemini shifts the focus from comfort and relaxation (Taurus Moon) to interaction, social engagement and the exchange of ideas. While it may keep you up — thinking, ruminating, brainstorming, etc. — it’s great for organizing your thoughts and ideas and putting together a new course of action.

Forecast

Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of July 15, 2024 – July 21, 2024:

We’ve got a lot going on this week, starting on Monday with the Sun trining Neptune and Mars trining Pluto. Starting out with the Sun / Neptune aspect, you may find that you’re more sensitive to outside influences and also more susceptible to psychic impressions. 

This could be reinforced by the fact that both planets are at the 29th or “anaretic” degree. This degree — the last degree of any sign — is known as a critical degree and is said to be associated with fate. With the Sun involved — especially in watery, sensitive, emotional Cancer — it can indicate a need to work through early childhood traumas and bolstering your self-esteem. Neptune encourages you to heed your inner voice and set aside your limitations, especially those that have been self-imposed.

July 2024 Monthly Horoscopes by Jeanne

July begins with Saturn in retrograde motion at 19 degrees 26’ Pisces and Neptune stations as it goes into its retrograde period on July 2 at 29 degrees 56’ Pisces. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and tends to be a bit sensitive and reclusive in how it interacts with the world in general and in personal relationships.

It is a good time to be more reflective, establish personal boundaries and take care of your inner world, particularly during the retrograde periods.

Mercury moves from 27 degrees Cancer to 3 degrees Virgo by the end of the month. It does have an opposition with Pluto on July 3rd at the beginning of Leo which can bring some shocking or dark secrets to light. Something that has been festering underground for a time will be revealed.

Venus moves from 16 degrees Cancer to 23 degrees of Leo throughout the month. Venus makes an opposition with Pluto from July 10 through July 15 which can have an obsessive or controlling quality to it, particularly if you get involved in a new relationship in the middle of July. There might be more information coming out of a sexual nature or of events that involve female sex trafficking or more backstory about the legislative attempts in the US to control women’s reproductive rights and sexual conduct.

June 2024 Monthly Horoscopes by Jeanne

cancer

June begins with the Sun, Venus and Jupiter in Gemini along with Mercury, just three days away from entering the sign of the twins, too. This stellium of planetary energy in one sector of the sky bodes well for having a busy social calendar, as well as having lots of opportunities for travel and new adventures through the first three weeks.

The energy does have a bit of a restless but upbeat vibe to it so it is actually better to be active than sedentary this month. The Gemini archetype is friendly, talkative, youthful and eager for new experiences.

With Jupiter’s vibe joining the party, you will have many choices available over the next twelve months, so take advantage of this period of expansion.

Mars moves through the final degrees of Aries and on the 10th enters the sign of Taurus, moving to 16 degrees, 10’ of Taurus by June 30th. Mars isn’t that comfortable in the fixed, feminine, earth sign of the bull which slows his energy down and gives a tendency to overindulge in all things pleasurable, to his detriment! Engage some discipline with your Mars to overcome those urges.

May 2024 Monthly Horoscopes by Jeanne

We begin the merry month of May with eight planets clustered in the three signs of Pisces, Aries and Taurus and the lone outlier, Pluto, in the sign of Aquarius.

Pluto is very powerful right now as he is going retrograde on May 2nd and squares Venus for the first 6 days of the month. There can be some emotional intensity or obsessive tendencies regarding money, values, sex, control and relationship dynamics involved in the square aspect between those two planets.

Fortunately, Venus moves on fairly quickly from that scenario and settles into her comfort zone of Taurus through May 24 after which she enters Gemini which is a very friendly sign to her. So, let the flirting begin!

Mercury is moving forward from 17 degrees of Aries and enters the sign of T which is a veryaurus on May 16th. When Venus goes into Gemini, Mercury’s sign on the 24th, it is considered to be a big positive energy as Mercury and Venus are in a mutually receptive relationship as they hang out in each other’s signs. This is a pleasant situation for both and you can enjoy social activities, dating, travel and meeting new people during this time.

Mars enters his own sign of Aries on the 1st and gets energized for accomplishment and action by that ingress. Jupiter is moving through the degrees of 24 Taurus to the first degree of Gemini on May 26th. The only problematic time with that transit is between May 12 and May 15 when Jupiter will be conjunct the fixed star, Algol in the constellation of Pegasus, which is considered to be a malefic influence.

April 2024 Monthly Horoscopes by Jeanne

Aries

We begin the month with a Mercury retrograde, yippee! Yes, the little dude does his retro dance from the 1st through the 25th beginning at 27 degrees Aries and going back to just under 16 degrees Aries before its direct motion on the 25th.

Mercury rules travel, communication, the nervous system, speaking and writing, among other things. “Don’t buy and don’t sign” is the usual Mercury Rx dictum. If you do travel during this time, things may be confusing in the beginning but ease up after the 10th.

The big news this month is, of course, the total Solar eclipse on April 9th at 19 degrees, 24 minutes of Aries, which has a path of totality across a large portion of the United States. The ancient wisdom about eclipses is that where ever the path of totality is visible those areas will be affected by the eclipse.

The ancient astrological lore is that one should not be outside during a solar eclipse as the lack of the Sun’s rays during that time may be a disturbance to your body functions.

The Moon and Sun are also conjunct by degree and minute with the asteroid Chiron, whose archetype is the wounded healer. This could signify some major developments in the medical field coming out within the next 6-12 months following the eclipse. Mercury retrograde hits that eclipse degree on April 17 and again on May 5th, which could trigger news or announcements about medical advancements at that time. Eclipses often mean a big change is coming and there is no going back from what happens after that time and this does not mean that what happens is negative. It is just a rather life altering experience.

March 2024 Monthly Horoscopes by Jeanne

March 2020 monthly horoscopes

March begins with a combination of Air, Water and Earth elements dominating the energetic vibe of the planets.What is missing is the Fire element.

Yes. Chiron and the north node are currently transiting Aries but neither is technically a planet so I have not counted them in the mix. However, the asteroid Chiron, the wounded healer archetype, and the calculated north node position representing your soul’s path or dharma, are still very close in degrees. They may still transmit a strong pull or an urge towards healing something within you so go for it.

Back to the elements noted above, the earth and water elements are slow moving energies. They take their time with changes. Air likes to move quickly but it is mainly on the mental level.

Air signs can vacillate between many possible scenarios and find it hard to settle on one possibility or one course of action. You need some Fire element to get the action started and that is what we lack this month.

It is unlikely things will go quickly for the first three weeks of the March. So here we are, folks, be patient with yourself, rest and let things unfold during this energy as it will change by the end of the month. We also have a full Moon lunar eclipse on the 25th at 5 degrees Libra/Aries. This energy can be very strong if it aspects one of your natal planets or angles. Do pay attention to what is coming up in your psyche to be acknowledged, healed and then cleared out.

February 2024 Monthly Horoscopes by Jeanne

We begin this month with all the planets moving in direct motion for the next two months. so take your foot off the brake and move forward with your plans. You can start slowly in the first two weeks as the energy builds around the 16th as the elemental balance starts to shift.

There’s an abundance of earth signs during the first two weeks of the month with three planets in Capricorn and two planets in Taurus dominating the elemental balance. There are also two planets in the air element and two in the water element.

The elemental balance shifts by February 16th to five planets in the air element of Aquarius, two in watery Pisces and two in earthy Taurus as the energy gains momentum.

By the end of February it shifts again to four planets in water, three in air and two in the earth element. So, during the latter part of the month, check in with your feelings, pay attention to your emotions and intuition and get ready to start looking at your life path and future in a new way. It feels right for a leap year! What are you going to do with that extra day this month?

Mercury is separating from Mars now so the argumentative energy is waning. Venus is approaching Mars so there’s a desire for relationship beginning to develop as they dance together for the next 5 weeks. This can develop with more intensity from the 14th through the 20th as both planets conjunct Pluto’s position at 0 degrees of Aquarius.

January 2024 Monthly Horoscopes by Jeanne

Happy New Year and welcome to 2024! This one will definitely have some interesting twists and turns of course, but it does start out with stability — as four planets transit earth signs — and optimism — with Jupiter in Taurus now in direct motion since New Years Eve.

Mercury, Venus and Mars are all transiting through Jupiter ruled Sagittarius and they transmit the vibration of optimism and adventure as well for the first two weeks of the month.

Then it starts to get more intense as we approach January 19th when the Sun will conjunct Pluto at 29 degrees of Capricorn. Pluto has been grinding back and forth on this degree for the latter half of 2023 and will briefly dip back to it in the fall for its final pass before he moves solidly in the sign of Aquarius for the next 19 years!

The 19th through the end January is volatile because the Sun will first join Pluto at 29 degrees of Capricorn and then stay relatively close to Pluto as it advances into the sign of Aquarius. The United States is also experiencing its Pluto return and all you have to do is read the news to see what turmoil we are going through at this time. Do we keep our democracy or devolve into a failed authoritarian state is Pluto’s dark side showing itself.

Mercury and Mars are also traveling fairly close together in the middle degrees of Capricorn and they can be argumentative and feisty when close to each other. Avoid conflict in your personal lives during this time and find an antidote to your exposure to the worldwide dramas so you don’t lose your center. That is the most important thing to strive for during dramatic times.

December 2023 Monthly Horoscopes by Jeanne

This month has quite a few planetary shifts that will be helpful as we close out this last chapter of 2023 and move into the new energy of 2024.

The first one is Neptune going into direct motion on December at 24 degrees 53’. Since Neptune is an outer planet, its vibration is more of a big picture shift as Neptune moves through the last degrees of Pisces over the next 15 months. Water issues in particular, and new solutions to the crisis, will emerge as viable to pursue into 2025 and beyond.

Mercury, our favorite little dude, will begin its last retrograde cycle of the year on December 13th, stationing at 8 degrees 27’ of Capricorn and moving back to 22 degrees of Sagittarius on January 2nd of the new year.

What will be very interesting about this cycle is Mars will be joining up with Mercury Rx during the last week of December so there’s lots of exciting talk and actions being discussed at that already busy time of year. They both engage with the Galactic Center of 26 degrees of Sagittarius during that week, Mercury Rx on the 25th and Mars on the 30th, so for those who like to connect with the cosmos for wisdom, it’s a great time to engage! However, don’t take action until Mercury clears that degree in its direct phase on January 11, 2024.

Venus is now separating from its recent conjunction with the south node on December 5th so it may take the next 3 weeks to get clear on your motivations and desires that took hold at the end of November. Venus doesn’t function all that well in Scorpio so allow yourself to take a step back to see where you might be obsessive or fixed in your opinions and be open to change.

November 2023 Monthly Horoscopes by Jeanne

We have some interesting cosmic vibes to contend with this month beginning with the Sun doing its annual opposition to Jupiter this year on November 1st at 9 degrees of Scorpio / 9 degrees of Taurus.

This can bring some good fortune to people with planets around those degrees so be ready for some blessing to make its way to your door if you have a planet or birth chart angles close to that degree. Accept the boon with gratitude, joy and spread love and generosity around.

Next, we have Saturn going into direct motion on November 4th. This happens at 0 degrees 30’ in Pisces so all the early degrees of the mutable signs have been directly affected by his retrograde in June at 7 degrees, going back to 0 degrees. Think about what you learned during the past 5 months as this transit was happening.

Saturn leaves a gift after any transit that personally affects one’s chart so if that is the case for you, accept it gracefully, realize the significance and incorporate it in your life.

Mercury moves from 15 degrees of Scorpio to 28 degrees of Sagittarius during the month. He will still be close to Mars for the first 4 days so remember to keep critical thoughts to yourself. The world needs peacemakers not irritating complainers or faultfinding whiners, now more than ever.

Venus transits through the last 8 degrees of Virgo and enters Libra, a sign she rules, on the 9th so that will make for more harmonious relationships and appreciation for love and beauty in the world.

October 2023 Monthly Horoscopes by Jeanne

Welcome to eclipse season! We have two eclipses this month, the first on October 14th, a new Moon solar eclipse at 21° Libra and the second on October 28th, a full Moon lunar eclipse at 5° Taurus.

The first will be visible in a large part of the western United States and has more difficult aspects associated with it. There is an inconjunct aspect from a retrograde Uranus at 21° Taurus and a waning square of Mars in early Scorpio to Pluto at 27° Capricorn.

These are tense and volatile aspects so use caution in your travels and worldly affairs during the second week of October.

Both eclipses occur in signs that are ruled by Venus so there may be financial matters that need attention or a course correction for the country since the eclipse is visible here in the US.

If you have planets in your natal chart around 21° of cardinal signs or 5° of the fixed signs you can look forward to big changes in the coming year. Lucky me, I have two planets in Libra within 1° as well as one in Taurus within 1° so the adventure continues to unfold in my piece of paradise.

Pluto goes into direct motion on October 10th at 27° Capricorn 53’ so he is quite powerful for the next two months. This is the last pass of Pluto over the 27th and 28th degrees of Capricorn for another 248 years so there may be more scandals coming up for big business and government that demand rectification so positive transformation can occur.
