Looks like our stars will be testing out our patience this week?

With Monday, July 9, "staying open minded, and flexible", as my best advice, to make it a good one!

Why? Because the moon's entrance into Aries, around 8:00 a.m.Edt will challenge the planet Mars, in opposition throughout Monday's morning hours, complicating things enough, to color our whole day!

Tuesday, July 10, will be easier to plan, but, our ego's can be ruffled!

You could find, due to a Moon, Sun, square aspect, by late afternoon on Tuesday, that using diplomacy can save the day, and make it a productive one.

Wednesday July 11, how we allow others to influence us, is key, too!

An early morning moon, aspect to, Saturn, the planet that desires structure, and permanence, will be pulled by our still Aries moon, as we begin our Wednesday. This aspect gives our moods a somber, serious, streak.

Thursday July, 12, a more practical approach will sooth out our thoughts some, coming from the moon's new affect, in the earth bound sign of Taurus.

However, stubbornness will likely reign! Guard expectations!

Friday July, 13 Uranus, starts back tracking again, called retrograding.

Every year about, this time, sometime late spring or summer? Uranus, the planet that represents innovation, and freedom, goes retrograde!

This back track, motion, causes lots of opportunities, to come and go, fairly quickly. With the total outcome of each new direction, to be known when Uranus is back in it's normal forward motion, usually happening around the end of our year?

It seems that our winter months trend to be more dormant, with working on what has been seen as permanent, and solid in our lives.

In this past cycle of Uranus, It has been direct since Nov. 10, 2011.

Wow, another planet keeping our lives pretty status quo. Meaning, that needed change has been held back, quite a bit for many of us, since Nov. 2011.

Therefore, Friday's star's, including through the weekend, we are beginning a time of flux, and innovation!

But, promises and ideas... can be very misleading!

As Saturday July 14, the planet of communicative Mercury, turns retrograde, too.

And in bold, colorful, Leo! Some conversations will be filled with love and laughter.

Others will be filled with ego, not wanting to face uncomfortable facts that might be critical, to making wise decisions.

When it comes to relationships? Best to open your heart , but don't lose your head!

How you are now, thinking... and what you are saying, may change!

All because decisions being made, will not be on firm ground until, Mercury, goes direct again, on August 8, 2012!

So expect, to have a few annoyances, over our weekend, from the planetary changing dance, that will have it's influence on all of us!

Being sociable and active is a must! The Gemini moon at our weekend's helm will demand it! Just be careful not to make plans and promises that in the future, you might not be able to keep!!!
