July 20, 2022 | 7:18 am (PST) | Keyword: Fascination

Despite an emotional need for action, independence, and the desire to be first, the Moon is moving slowly through the sign of Aries indicating a slow boil to developments. You’re more apt to initiate actions secretly or behind the scenes to avoid opposition or interference, especially if you feel to act openly poses a danger to your plans. However, it’s possible you’ll be drawn into secret intrigues of one sort or another during this cycle. You can be surprisingly passionate and may have little regard for personal safety if your loved ones are threatened. There are circumstances where others may be emotionally moved by acts of courage. The decisions you make could be based in admiration of bold individuals or a desire to emulate strong or independent women. You’re motivated by instinct although your actions may seem strange or inexplicable to others. A person with strong Aries (sun, moon, or rising sign) or Mars placements will play a pivotal role in the events of this cycle.

A powerful desire drives you to find and express your purpose in life through career or parenthood. Perhaps you’re working with the public or large groups of people or your career involves protecting or taking care of people. For some, you may find yourself involved in the legal system in some way or have the need to consult a lawyer. This could be a good time to sign contracts, handle legal affairs, or reach settlements and agreements.

Positively, a heightened imagination enables you to express yourself through the arts or with intuitive abilities tied to psychology, religion, spirituality, and philosophy. In some cases, this is through teaching or writing.

A theme of restlessness continues to agitate your need to break away from the usual norms or daily patterns through travel or intellectual pursuits. Your endeavors are likely to bring you into contact with new ideas, perceptions, or concepts through learning environments or with persons who are different from your past culturally, politically, or ideologically. These experiences pose questions about a belief system you hold that may or may not be an accurate representation of your current circumstances or life philosophy. The search is to find answers and to put into context a perspective that performs in real time in real life and to explain your viewpoint should that prove necessary. The situations that occur will lend greater awareness of your own emotional makeup or that of others, and what you discover may guide your decisions as you reflect on the kind of relationships you form and whether they’re conducive to your well-being.

Situations involving strong personalities prone to hasty or impulsive actions may be a factor in study, travel, or connections to persons who are foreign or different from yourself. This may tie to a trip overseas or starting some form of higher education which creates a situation that could leave you feeling powerless or alone, isolated, ill, or dealing with others under these conditions. The energy forces action due to a lack of cooperation in family, marriage, or partnership where secrecy and issues involving large institutions or social systems are the focus. The consequences that occur will impact your physical body, appearance, or independence and is a direct result of the personal strength of your actions. Perhaps you’re practicing prudence or using foresight in matters of speculation, a desire for possessions, or as an intellectual leader.

Despite any delays, if there have been obstacles or difficulties that have held you back, those challenges can now be overcome. This may be with the assistance of important and prominent individuals who help to advance your future growth, security, or the realization of plans. The circumstance allows a fateful event to happen tied to concerns about children, a lover, creative self-expression, or a business you’ve started.

In some instances, you’re drawn to a country that is not the origin of your birth. It’s possible you have a destiny connected to a person born there, or the land itself and its cultures, past or present. Perhaps you decide to live there or take up permanent residence. If not, your mind may be receptive to different types of cultures and different modes of living. As a result of the level of involvement, you can develop considerable expertise connected to other philosophies.

Fortunately, the influence heralds abundance and a positive indication in questions of wealth, prosperity, and career. There’s the possibility of marriage plans, getting engaged, or a birth announcement. It also may indicate full flowering in art, beauty and creativity. But with so much goodness, the potential exists for overindulgence. The caution is not to allow your appetite for food and drink or the desire for good things in the material world to overwhelm you. The keyword for this cycle is fascination and you may feel a compelling and intense interest in someone or something or wield a hypnotic influence over others. The energy also emphasizes someone gifted with mental and moral strength, faith, power, and forcefulness. These traits lend a magnetic and iconoclastic quality which will gain this person many followers.
