Astrological Context, Week of July 5-11

(All times Eastern)
While this week starts to calm a bit and doesn’t have the explosive, high-tension aspects of last week, there are a few that are worth mentioning.
Early Tuesday morning, Mercury squares Neptune, which can bring on the one hand a vivid sense of fantasy, highly intuitive thinking, and a connection to the non-linear, it carries on the other the possibility of deceit (or self-deceit), confusion, and misperception/misunderstandings. This energy is already in effect and increasing as the week begins, and will begin to fade later in the week.
On Tuesday night, Venus opposes Saturn, which can bring a feeling of loneliness and isolation. We are likely to value utility over aesthetics, and our relationships may seem a bit cold. The time frame here is the first half of the week, since as soon as Venus finishes with Saturn, she squares Uranus, which may feel a bit like whiplash; our displays of emotion may take on a dramatic flare, and may be somewhat unstable. By the weekend, things should begin to settle down a bit and feel a bit less like an emotional roller coaster.
