The WEEK in CHINESE ASTROLOGY

July 28 – Aug 3, 2014

Highlights this week are lucky Rat Monday, intense Dragon Friday, and active double Horse Sunday!

Mon July 28 is Metal RAT (white Rat) day. Fortunately, Venus and Mars trine Neptune for compassionate action and spiritual love. People get along well, and group activities are favorable. Sun conjuncts Jupiter bringing a positive outlook and new understanding. Rat day luck strong for Rat, Ox, Dragon, and Monkey. Rat hours 11 pm – 1 am.

Tues July 29 is Metal OX day. Moon opposite Neptune is emotionally sensitive — or just strange moods and odd feelings. Moon trines Pluto so feelings are more intense. Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter in a pack are excellent to talk, network, exchange ideas. So persevere and stay strong, even if emotions are changeable. Ox day luck strong for Ox, Rat, Snake, and Phoenix (Rooster). Ox hours 1 am – 3 am.

Wed July 30 is Water TIGER (black Tiger) day. Moon sextiles Venus and Saturn for romance, healing in love, and improvement in your relationships. Moon trines Pluto for depth of feelings. But Venus is opposite Pluto, and Venus square Uranus, so relationships can be unpredictable. Fortunately Venus trines Saturn bringing needed stability. Tiger day luck strong for Tiger, Dog, Horse, and Pig. Tiger hours 3 am – 5 am.

Thurs July 31 is Water RABBIT day. Moon sextiles Mercury and Jupiter for nice social times, good feeling, and lovely group activities. But Venus square Uranus, and Venus opposite Pluto, continues so relationships can be testy or unpredictable — especially during a Monkey month. Water Rabbit kindness, sensitivity, and diplomacy helps! Rabbit day luck strong for Rabbit, Sheep, Dog, and Pig. Rabbit hours 5 – 7 am.

Fri Aug 1 is Wood DRAGON (green Dragon) day. Moon squares Venus and Pluto, and is opposite Uranus, making a problematic big square! Relationships are tested, and partners can be unpredictable. Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter in a pack square Mars so people like to argue and are driven by ego. Take the high road and be royal like the Dragon! Do not engage in conflict, and avoid being the mediator in other people’s disputes. Dragon day luck strong for Dragon, Rat, Snake, and Monkey. Dragon hours 7 – 9 am.

Sat Aug 2 is Wood SNAKE day. Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter conjunction continues to square Mars. Lots of mental activity, people can be argumentative, and plans are too big. Fortunately Mars trines Neptune for the spiritual searching that Snake enjoys. Snake day luck strong for Snake, Ox, Dragon, and Phoenix (Rooster). Snake hours 9 -11 am.

Sun Aug 3 is DOUBLE HORSE day: Fire Horse day in this Wood Horse year! Now is a waxing half Moon, a time for balance. And balanced is needed! Moon conjunct Mars can be combative and argumentative. Plus this Moon and Mars conjunction squares Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter. Anticipate exaggeration and tall tales. Venus squares Uranus for unexpected relationship troubles. Yet Venus trine Saturn, and Mars trine Neptune, helps for relationship stability and for a spiritual approach to problem solving. Double Horse day luck strong for Horse, Tiger, Sheep, and Dog. Horse hours 11 am – 1 pm.

Good luck and have a great week,
