It was in the closing day of July that a major standoff took place in the heavens that is set to shape the rest of the year and beyond and it was a result of two overlapping developments. It began on 27th July with a shift in the lunar nodes that saw the North Node return to your career sector and the South Node to your home and family sector, where they will remain until March 2028. Individually, this will see them return to already active areas of your chart, empowering them even more. Together, this was the start of a 20 month policing of your work/life balance. It was just two days later that the Moon not only returned to your career sector as a Full Moon, but just as the Sun and Jupiter had aligned in your home and family sector, powering up both sides of life's fence and putting the lunar nodes' new mandate to an early test. As you move into the new month, the Moon has just left, but not before firing things up professionally. With Venus returning to spend an extended amount of time in your work sector on 7th August, Mars leaving your income sector on 11th August but Uranus here for the long haul, this sets the scene for a powerful month and end to the year across the income, work and career fronts. At the same time, the alignment between the Sun and Jupiter is just starting to separate and while the Sun is only here until 23rd August, with Jupiter here until July 2027, a powerful year for home, family and/or property matters is just warming up. Meanwhile, while the lunar nodes are monitoring your work/life balance, when the Moon moves through your home and family sector from 11th August to 13th August, this will also turn an ordinary New Moon into a total solar eclipse, with the promise of major new beginnings. Meanwhile, taking advantage of a new focus on your work/life balance will be Venus, in her final days in a playful and creative part of your chart until 7th August and the asteroid Juno, who will retrograde back into an adventurous part on 12th August for a do over.
