Astrology for Thursday, 30 July 2020:

Today Mercury in Cancer makes an opposition to Jupiter retrograde in Capricorn, then a trine to Neptune retrograde in Pisces. With Jupiter in its fall in Capricorn, this opposition with Mercury could describe a demand to speak up and advocate on behalf of those who are marginalized, those whose experiences are ignored, forgotten, or even maligned. What opportunities are available to you within your particular social location for bringing attention to lives that are made not to matter? It could also be a time for giving voice to our own experiences that have been depreciated, the parts of ourselves that we have not yet learned to include or value. The trine with Neptune could describe poetic or artistic expression, finding ways to express what is not easily articulated in linear, rationale, or even precise terms. What might find expression if you explored more ways of translating what needs to be expressed? As this is happening, the Moon in Sagittarius moves through a trine with Mars in Aries, a square with Neptune in Pisces, and an opposition with Venus in Gemini. We may find that we have access to bold initiative and assertive momentum when we inhabit a more expansive perspective of our experiences. Doing so can also be disorienting or even confusing; how you were accustomed to understanding your place within your context might feel elusive when you dare to move out beyond the familiar. By extension, how you communicate in relationships may require an adjustment period or new negotiations as you bring a broader view of yourself and the world into how you are relating.
