The Stars This Week: "Speak Up!" - July 14 - July 20, 2008

[I Have A Dream]

Speak Up!

07/14/08 - 07/20/08

The communication planet Mercury is busy this week! First, Mercury sextiles Saturn on July 14. This is followed by a sextile to Mars on July 15, which brings opportunities to get your ideas out there. Then on July 19, everybody weighs in when Mercury opposes Jupiter. In between, a full Moon in ambitious Capricorn on July 18 brings much of what you have been working toward to a culmination.

July 14: Mercury sextile Saturn; July 15: Mercury sextile Mars

Do you have something to say? Now is the time to speak out as information-loaded Mercury forms a beneficial sextile to pragmatic Saturn and energetic Mars. Because Mars is still close to a conjunction with Saturn, Mercury gets to dialog with this hardworking duo. Take time to explain everything you say and you will make a lasting impression.

July 18: Full Moon in Capricorn

Every month, we have the chance to step back and assess the results of what we set in motion during the previous new Moon. Now, with the full Moon in ambitious Capricorn, your attention is brought to your worldly concerns and you have the opportunity to focus on the important areas of your life. Tomorrow's Mercury-Jupiter opposition makes its presence felt, encouraging you to speak your mind.

July 19: Mercury opposite Jupiter

Mercury in Cancer (family, home) and Jupiter in Capricorn (work, world) are in the perennial debate of home versus career. This is an important conversation about finding balance between the two. This is true for your own life, but this is also part of a bigger dialog that the whole world is having. If you -- and everyone -- can talk as well as listen, common ground is possible.
