Just a few weeks ago, we were talking about the start of the summer as if it was never going to come. Now, we reach the height of it.
As the Sun shines down upon us during the Carnival parade, let’s all allow ourselves a moment to exhale and appreciate the summer. Whether it’s been smooth sailing or a daily toil, this season is fleeting. Regardless of where we fall in the astrological landscape, we should all allow ourselves to enjoy this time as Leo does — with generosity, pride, and a healthy dose of enthusiasm.
There are some challenging aspects ahead, though. Like the Sun’s opposition with Saturn and Jupiter square Venus. Both will bring out the feelings of restriction and monotony in our daily lives.
Mercury’s conjunction with Mars and trine with Jupiter lend us some much-needed motivation and resources to help us work through the tough stuff and provide us with some cushion and comfort for the months ahead.
A sense of ease is on the horizon, so don’t sweat the small stuff. Enjoy Carnival all you can. Or if you’re like me, know that townie summer is just around the bend.
