Don’t go overboard. The only caution light in the Sky watch today is Mars lined up opposite Jupiter, exact at 8:50 am PDT. This is a good pair in many ways as long as you stay under the speed limit and don’t bite off more than you can chew.

Green lights are up with this one small note in mind. The Moon in eager Aries sails out into calm waters this morning and doesn’t get involved in any problem with other planets—the coast is clear.

Mars leaves party sign Leo and enters efficient and practical Virgo for a six-week run at 1:32 pm. Something new or first time is an Aries specialty — take the plunge Thursday night. As times change.

Dress for success. Green lights are up today.

As noted in my 2021 Datebook this is a kiss day when astrological skies hold only positive elements. And it’s a very good day to put new plans and ideas into motion.

Because the Moon enters courageous Aries at 2:57 am PDT and sails on to trine clever Mercury at 4:42 am — I won’t be surprised if you wake up with a good new idea. Jupiter backs into Aquarius, the sign that rules the future, at 5:42 am, and the Sky watch is set for a stellar day to make some progress in your life and times.

The kiss of the day appears this afternoon when the Sun and Moon trine at 2:19 pm; this is a moment of Zen, a time of balance and harmony useful in all events and decisions.

A quiet but dependable Moon Saturn sextile at 10:53 pm closes the day with positive energy — reach out.

Green lights with a short time out.

The Moon in aware Pisces sails out into calm waters this morning. We have a short time out when Luna meets Neptune, co-ruler of Pisces, at 1:47 pm PDT and a foggy moment is better spent with a cup of coffee rather than using your credit card.

Clear skies follow until the Moon makes a sextile to healing Pluto at 6:13 pm. Luna then turns Void of Course until tomorrow morning. Simple plans work well when the Moon is V/C.

There’s something for everyone in the Skywatch this week. Load your calendar as the drift is upbeat and positive.

Green lights are up on Monday. The Moon opposes lazy Venus at 6:04 am PDT this morning when many will hit the snooze button. But astrological skies clear a few minutes later and remain clear for the rest of the workday.

Evening hours hold a friendly Moon Uranus sextile, exact at 10:28 pm setting up a good night to check in with friends and loved ones.

As times change.

Saturday is the best day this weekend to handle important chores and shopping. Mercury makes a trine to psychic and aware Neptune at 9:35 am PDT prompting you to listen to your intuition and feelings for information. The Moon in friendly Aquarius meets serious and practical Saturn at 11:24 am suggesting a good time to spend your money. Something surprising could show up when the Moon squares unpredictable Uranus at 5:42 pm. Clear skies follow.

        Oppositions are on the astrological menu on Sunday. Challenges to your thinking and plans are likely when Mercury opposes inflexible Pluto a 1:14 pm Sunday afternoon. Some folks will throw in a touch of anger when Luna opposes feisty Mars at 4:13 pm. The Moon then turns Void of Course until she enters Pisces at 8:30 pm. The kiss of the day follows when the Moon meets easy going Jupiter in the heavens at 8:56 pm Sunday night and perhaps you can find an agreement or compromise that works.

If your birthday is this week ( July 25-31). Keep your eyes on the future, Leo. Saturn in Aquarius in your new Solar Return promises success if you stay committed and work hard this year. Lucky Jupiter has just backed into Aquarius, too, and will aid your concentration in the months ahead. The only caution light I see in this chart of your new year is Mars sitting opposite to Jupiter. Not a bad thing but this opposition warns you not to go overboard in your promises, expectations and spending; as Clint says: “you’ve got to know your limitations.” Helpful is Venus sitting in analytical Virgo in your new SR, Leo. She’ll help you make good decisions and be more efficient in your spending and actions. Happy Birthday, Leo.

Emotional. And unfocused for a short spell.

The Moon conjuncts intense Pluto at 9:34 am PDT this morning and then turns Void of Course until she enters Aquarius at 5:12 pm.

Hold off on finalizing matters while the Moon is V/C. A Full Moon lights up evening skies, exact at 7:37 pm.

Fools and coyotes will be out Friday night — play it safe and be aware of what’s around you.
