MORE ASTROWEATHER: MARS CONJUNCT SATURN

Mars, planet of Passion, conjuncts Saturn the Disciplinarian, planet of authority, image-consciousness, rules and regulations this Friday, July 10th.

More details from astrology.com below:

On July 10, Mars conjuncts Saturn -- a significant event that affects us all!
Mars takes about two years to transit through all 12 signs of the zodiac. On July 1, it entered the sign of Virgo and on July 10 it will move within a degree of Saturn, which has been stationed in Virgo since September 2007. This will be the closest Mars-Saturn conjunction until 2022!
Mars is the planet of action and Saturn is the planet of discipline, boundaries and authority. When these two planets come together, especially as they do now in hard-working Virgo, you have the opportunity to get more done in one week than you have all year! So, if you have a project you need to kick into high gear, now is the time to advance it. It will require focus and concentration, but rewards are possible. Because of the placement in health-conscious Virgo, this conjunction especially favors beginning new health and fitness programs. So, if you have been waiting to start a diet, a gym membership or a yoga class that sticks, now is your chance!
Remember: this conjunction is not a magic wand! If you are typically lazy or impatient, expect to be tested and challenged. If you enter this period with maturity and are willing to put in the hard work necessary, you'll succeed beyond your wildest dreams!

NEPTUNE CONJUNCT MERCURY - BOOST IT UP, YOU CREATIVITY THAT IS : )

Gemini, Mercury, Neptune -- Oh, My!




Planetary Movement Amps Up Your Potential
Over the next few days, two major planetary shifts are teaming up to open your mind and rev up your creativity! The Moon, Mercury and Neptune all conspire to bring out the best in you. Learn how to tap into these awesome influences!


First, let's look at the Moon. In Astrology, the Moon is considered a planet, and its place in the zodiac calendar sets the tone for how you'll feel over the next few days. Right now, the Moon is in chatty, social Gemini -- don't be surprised if you suddenly crave conversation or have the urge to go on a quick road trip! The time is right to write a mass email to your good friends, or to call up someone you haven't spoken to in ages. The Gemini Moon is all about movement and communication!

Next, let's look at Neptune -- this planet inspires us to fantasize, dream and dive into romance. On March 5, Neptune moves into a position "conjunct" fellow planet Mercury. When two planets are conjunct, they're lining up so that they're in agreement and working together. Mercury is the planet of communication and ideas, so when it teams up with Neptune, your mind can become extremely focused on creative, fantastical ideas. This could be a time for personal epiphanies, and you'll definitely be "thinking outside the box."
The sign of Gemini is ruled by the planet of Mercury, too, so think of this week as a creative and communication powerhouse! If you've been dying to start a novel, outline a screenplay or put some original ideas into your art, do it! There is no better time than now to hone in on your unique strengths ... and to set the stage so you can tap into these strengths for weeks to come!
