Astrology of Thursday, July 19th 2018

The first bit of planetary business this Thursday is the Moon in Libra’s square with the Sun in Cancer, which ushers us in to the rising action of the second quarter of the lunar month. Though the aspect is not perfect until the wee hours, the entire day is nonetheless colored by retrograde Mars’ conjunction with Ketu, the South Node. Their union kindles a flame, purifying yet potentially destructive. Be thoughtful about what, and who, you apply this blowtorch to.

As night approaches and then falls, Luna leaps off the scales and onto the back of the Scorpion, which will serve as her steed for the next two days. During the first portion of the night, the Moon opposes destabilizing Uranus in Taurus and sextiles pragmatic Saturn, catalyzing insights and sparking disruptive plans. Late-late night, the Moon squares Mars, just as the red planet and Ketu complete their conjunction, raising the pre-dawn thermostat to uncomfortable heights.
