[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of July 28 - August 3

The biggest change this week is Venus going into Cancer and I’m a fan. The house topics of your Cancer house are having your fairy godmother join Santa, it’s time for a glow up.

Monday there’s a strong motivation to organize and make practical improvements, but friends and fun stuff might make you feel scattered just when you need to focus. You might find yourself torn between wanting to perfect something important and wanting to connect with others or enjoy yourself.

Tuesday there's confusion about what's real versus what seems ideal, but powerful energy around big big changes feels surprisingly supportive for expressing yourself creatively and communicating clearly. Generous feelings might lead to emotional overwhelm that's hard to balance.

• Best for: Creative self-expression, clear communication, working with powerful changes.

Wednesday 07/30

• ♀︎ ▻ Cancer |11:57 pm Eastern
• ☽ V/C |» All day » Eastern

Wednesday the only thing happening is Venus going into Cancer but even that doesn’t occur until the clock strikes (almost) midnight on the east coast. 

All of the Void Moon stuff is relevant for today so let’s talk about Venus in Cancer.

Venus enters the Moon's sign, bringing nurturing, protective energy to love and creativity that prioritizes emotional security and comfort. Relationships flourish through caring gestures and creating safe spaces where vulnerability feels welcomed, while artistic work gains depth through emotional authenticity and maternal warmth. Resources flow toward building emotional foundations and making others feel cherished and protected.

• Best for: Nurturing existing relationships through consistent care, creating art that touches people emotionally, building financial security for loved ones.
• Potential Challenges: Becoming overly protective in relationships, spending too much on comfort items, emotional neediness overwhelming others.

• ☽ at 02° 26‘ Scorpio □ ♇ at 02° 26‘ Aquarius | 6:19 pm Eastern
• ☉ ☌ ☿ at 09° 00‘ Leo | 7:41 pm Eastern 

Thursday might be intense but it should also offer a little Mercury retrograde clarity about things you’ve been hyperfocusing on. You might find those intense feelings making it harder to keep doing the same old thing.

• Best for: Revisiting past projects, rethinking previous decisions, reviewing old communications.
• Potential Challenges: Intense emotions making it hard to stay stuck, overthinking past conversations.

• ♀︎ at 01° 58‘ Cancer □ ♆ at 01° 58‘ Aries | 4:48 pm Eastern

Friday could be complicated for relationships and money, as attempts to create comfort and security face harsh pushback and impatient demands from others. There's also some confusing romantic or financial situations where things aren't what they seem, making it hard to tell who genuinely cares versus who might be manipulating the situation.

• Best for: Standing firm on boundaries, enforcing financial limits under pressure, making commitments that prioritize long-term security over immediate gratification.
• Potential Challenges: Confrontations over spending priorities,  critical demands disrupting careful planning, being deceived

• ☽ V/C | 9:06 pm» Eastern

Saturday is very productive. It’s great to catch up or get ahead for the upcoming week. It might even make you feel all warm and fuzzy to check things off your never ending to-do list.

•  Best for: Detailed work projects, organizing tasks, catching up on responsibilities.
• Potential Challenges: Getting too intense about small details, obsessing over perfect organization.

• Potential Challenges: Being too optimistic about changes, overthinking the past.

Until next time, my wish for you is a soft place to land.  -Robin 💋
