Until the 21st and particularly until the 7th, the energies could manifest as more of a pull towards things going on behind the scenes or in your private life - perhaps to do with the past or perhaps it’s something on the drawing board that you are working on, (sometimes you may not even be aware of all you are working on as the Sun is in a karmic house until the 21st). Your emotions or imagination will have the volume turned up but a passing mood may distract you at times. Remember to count to ten or sleep on something before you decide how to proceed. In fact it’s definitely the time to get more sleep! The current position of the Sun is activating the area of your Solar chart of karmic issues but also nurture, compassion and higher service, so you may find you have to make more space in your life for others to lean on you and, for a while, put your personal preferences to one side. Or maybe it is you who needs more tlc and you should let go and let others take the strain whenever possible. This is also the area of the subconscious and so you also can choose to use this energy for artistic work or spiritual practices like yoga or meditation but also healing or psychic development. It is an emotional area too and so there may be quite a lot going on within you but many, sometimes sudden, external influences demanding your attention. Watch out that you don’t let old emotional habits or inner frustrations get the better of you especially when someone pushes your buttons.

Venus has moved into a more background area until August you could find yourself having to put personal desires on one side a little more often as you are more likely to come across the needy at this time. In certain situations you’ll be more inclined to keep your feelings to yourself. But your natural intuition and urge to nurture will be amplified so you may be helping others as a sensitive or will benefit from another’s intuitive guidance.
Another way this can work is that relationships could be flourishing in the background or within some kind of circle or closed environment. Or it may be you are putting yourself out for a good cause. But this is definitely a time to do nice things for yourself in a low key way and be more vigilant about protecting your boundaries. Others may seem to push your buttons or lean too heavily upon you. Take some time to rest and nurture body and mind whenever you get the chance. Venus is retrograde until the 27th which may demand more selfless understanding of others or more necessity to look after yourself.

Jupiter moves into this area on the 12th to stay for 12 months and will bring fresh opportunities to grow and learn through these areas.

The Lunar eclipse on the 4th supports improvement and new beginnings in this behind the scenes area.

Until the7th your mind tends to become actively introspective and perhaps more sensitive to subtle energies. But this can also be negative and you become your own worst enemy because you react inappropriately to conditions around you. At this time, intuition increases and you can draw on dreams, memories or be more the hermit and get on with things behind-the-scenes, perhaps as a form of preparation. So, as you are a little preoccupied, you could find yourself zoning out whilst in the middle of a meeting or conversation. Listen to your inner guidance, perhaps reflect upon past conditioning and move beyond what is now getting in the way of your happiness and wellbeing.
Some things may seem uncertain or undecided and it’s best to trust that there’s support and direction coming from the unseen realms. All you have to do is hold a vision clearly and steadily, or the dream of how you’d like it all to be, and be alert to the signs and portents. Such an approach can work well for you during this transit.

Mercury is in your sign from the 7th-26th which means you may be coming and going more, so vehicles, travel or transport might be emphasized. Also you will probably be more mentally alert as the flow of information exchange increases and, for the most part, you enjoy your interaction with others. But you may have a lot on your mind. Socializing could also be related to business, correspondence and your ability to express your thoughts or intentions clearly and accurately as well as as understand those of others.

From the 26th thoughts and discussions will have a practical slant.

Since last November, the Mars transit is activating the communications sector and socializing for work or pleasure can get pretty demanding or contentious at times. You could be mixing and mingling or flying hither and thither more than usual for business or personal reasons. Now that Mars is going direct you should start to feel more confident about making certain decisions or pursuing certain activities.
Overall during this Mars transit it’s a great time for developing speaking and writing skills, your creative self-expression and connecting with others in person or over the wires, and being very much in the flow of information exchange. So you’ll probably be learning a lot. But there is also a practical slant to all this potential movement and you will want to be realistic and careful as you go forwards. You could have a lot of lists on your mind and feel scattered, nervy or mentally overstretched at times. The way you communicate could be seen as provocative or bossy as you may be wanting to get things off your chest or express yourself in a bolder or enterprising manner. You could feel some people are aggressive in the way they are communicating, but, equally, others could find you over the top, impatient or too hasty when making decisions.

From the 21st the way should be clearer to pursue what’s important to you personally.
