It’s getting real, divas — some of the CRAZIEST DAYS in modern astrological history are upon us, but don’t be scared!!! Embrace it, honey… the future is calling, and it’s for you!

This week, Venus move into Virgo, Mercury Retrograde reaches a turning point, and Neptune begins activating one of the rarest planetary configurations of our lifetime: July’s highly-anticipated basket aspect. It’s soooo tea!!!! And that’s exactly what we talk about today in my podcast, AstroloTea with Aliza Kelly—so be sure to tune in now! Your horoscope is served!!!

As the Sun in Cancer (representing identity) squares Saturn in Aries (representing structure), how you define who you are will be challenged. You’re encouraged to break free from the limits you’ve placed on yourself to expand your confidence, sense of self, and personal power.

As Neptune, the planet of imagination, goes retrograde at 4° Aries, it initiates a six-month period of collective reflection as we consider what we’re fighting for as a result of our ideals and beliefs, and what needs to shift. This planetary pivot ushers us into July’s most-anticipated astrological happening, the basket aspect pattern.

When Venus (the planet of love and value) enters Virgo (the sign of precision and improvement), we’re reminded that the simple yet profound act of noticing forms the foundation of lasting love. During this transit, pay attention to all the little details and lend a helping hand without being asked.

Just after Venus enters Virgo, it forms a harmonious trine to Chiron (the wounded healer) in Taurus, asking you to meet that self-critical voice in your head with compassion. Care for yourself with extra tenderness, and focus on pleasure as opposed to productivity (they actually go hand in hand!).

At the end of the week, Mercury Retrograde joins the Sun at 20° Cancer, forming a super-charged conjunction called a “cazimi,” when the Sun embraces and amplifies Mercury. Since the planet of communication is still on its backwards trajectory, this is a supportive time to offer the apologies you’ve been avoiding and make amends with the people you love. It’s also a beautiful moment to connect with friends and family, walk down memory lane, and share your favorite stories from the good ol’ days.

Oh, and don’t forget to check your horoscope to find out what it all means for you!! LOVE YOU! xoxoxoxo
