Welcome to this MTZ weekly astrology forecast for August 1st to the 7th, 2016.
This week we have a New Moon in Cancer.. the Sun, Mars & Jupiter changing sign, as well
as a Mercury t-square over the weekend.
This is a week of new beginnings, a shift of focus, intention, and outlook, as well
as an opportunity to develop ourselves spiritually.
In this video I'm going to show you how to work with, and master, these astrological
transits coming up next.

Let's look at the first event this week.. the New Moon in Cancer on Monday.
Starting the week is a subtle energy of cultivating our reflective, caring, and intuitive side.
When it comes to reflection..
getting in touch with our past and roots.
Who we are today is a product of our past experiences and getting in touch with where
we come from is a great way of working with this New Moon.
This might be through thinking about things from our past, getting in touch with those
from our past, and spending time with family as well as those we're close to.
When it comes to caring.. taking care of ourselves and others.
The human body is made up of 55 to 60% water showing how sensitive and vulnerable we actually
are.
This is true on both a physical level and emotional level.
We need protection, nurturing, and care from time to time.
This might be through taking care of ourselves or others..
physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
Also during this New Moon we can get in touch with our intuitive side.
Through connecting to our bodies we get gut feelings and inner guidance.
The better relationship we have with our bodies not only helps us make better decisions..
but our health overall improves.
Our bodies convey the deepest emotional information and listening to what our body has to say..
helps us stay rooted, secure, and healthy.
A great example of caring for ourselves and others is seen from this story about a corn
farmer.
Year after year of winning first place at the state fair for consistently growing great
corn.. he was approached by a journalist who asked him what the secret of his success was.
The farmer revealed that perhaps his greatest success factor was that he shared his corn
seeds with his neighboring farmers.
Taken aback the journalist asked him “why do you share your best corn seed with your
neighbors?
Each year they are competing with you at the state fair!”
“Well the wind”, said the farmer, “picks up pollen from the ripening corn, then it
swirls it around from field to field.
If my neighbors grow inferior corn, then it's certain that cross pollination will eventually
degrade the quality of my corn.
So it is crucial I help my neighbors grow good corn too.”
When both ourselves and those around us are taken care of, healthy, and in good emotional
strength it sets the foundation for a healthy lifestyle for everyone around.
Use this early part of the week to see where you can introduce more reflection, caring,
and consideration in your life.
Here is a list of areas this New Moon is involved for you.
You can look at this for your Sun, Moon, and Ascendant sign for a holistic picture.

Now let's look at the sign changes this week involving the Sun, Mars, and Jupiter.
We have the Sun going into Leo, Mars Scorpio, and Jupiter Virgo.
This week we will feel a subtle shift of our perspective as we go into the rest of August.
With the Sun this is a shift of our focus.
Going from the emotional energy of Cancer and the New Moon earlier in the week.. to
the more expressive, entertaining, and fun loving side of ourselves.
We can gain energy through things we enjoy and create.
Whether we are expressing ourselves through a hobby, a project, or verbally with others..
the Sun in it's natural domain of Leo makes this shift of self-expression a great source
of Parana and life energy.
Here are the areas the Sun is shifting into for you.
Consider how you can express yourself in these areas and bring in some fun, playfulness,
and creativity.
With Mars going back into Scorpio after his retrograde earlier in the year.. this is also
Mars' natural domain.
Mars the planet of our drive, intention, and desires is going into the sign of what really
matters in life.
Scorpio shows us that behind the surface of things lies a world of deep meaning, truth,
and intimacy.
Connecting to this deeper dimension of life whether it is through openness in our relationships,
researching hidden things, or uncovering more about ourselves psychologically.. this shift
of intention towards what really matters is a great source of drive and motivation.
Here are the areas Mars is shifting into for you.
Ask yourself how you can dive deep in these areas and bring out the gems that are normally
hidden.
Lastly and certainly not least..
Jupiter the planet of our worldview and outlook on life is shifting into analytical and detail-oriented
Virgo.
For the next roughly year and a half.. the way we see future possibilities will be in
a methodical and improvement-oriented way.
Seeing how our inspirations can be improved, refined, and organized in our life is the
emphasis of this transit.
There can be a lot of wisdom coming in collectively about how to manage our time, energy, and
things around us.
Seeing how we can work on the details of our lives, will be the key to cultivating these
possibilities.
Here are the areas Jupiter is shifting into for you.
See how you can bring in some inspiration to these areas.
Look for opportunities and bring in a dose of structure, organization, and refinement
to these areas will ensure these possibilities are actualized.

Now let's look at this weekend where we have Mercury in a T-square with Neptune & Saturn.
This is a weekend where extra care might be needed in our personal lives.
Mercury the planet that represents our minds is going over a sensitive area at the moment
in the sky.
Opposing Neptune we could feel a bit idealistic, dreamy, and imaginative.
Perhaps about where we are headed and about the things we've built thus far.
This heightened sense of idealization could bring confusion, doubt, or uncertainty if
taken to an extreme.
We could even be focused on the heavier side of things with Saturn.
The key with working with this transit effectively is to bring extra attention to our minds.
To observe how we think about things.
The mind is on a constant quest to understand and have things figured out.
The problem with this of course is that life is much too large for this.
There are things we simply don't know and paths we simply can't take without a willingness
to go with the flow and simply see where we end up.
The beauty about this aspect is we can realize we are exactly where we need to be in every
moment.
That it is the mind's quest towards understanding that can sometimes prevent us from having
more peace and tranquility.
Knowing that there are things outside our immediate understanding and control.
From this perspective we can much more healthfully attain what we truly want with unneeded suffering.
The challenge though is what we truly want is different from what we think we want at
this time and our minds quest might be creating the confusion and doubts.
That by releasing what we don't know or can't know we free ourselves up to true happiness
which is found in the present moment..
accepting things and our lives for exactly how it is.
Perfect as it is.
This is a great weekend for developing our spiritual well-being and understanding more
about the way we think about things.
Here is a quote from the modern spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle who said, “Always
say 'yes' to the present moment...
Surrender to what is.
Say 'yes' to life - and see how life starts suddenly to start working for you rather than
against you.”
Here is the list of areas Mercury is transiting for you.
Considering where you can bring in more acceptance to this area.
Detach, surrender, and through that find the current of life.

So this week we have a New Moon in Cancer helping us connect to the emotionally receptive
side of things.
Developing these qualities over the next 29 days can help not only ourselves but those
around us reach a state of emotional security and health.
With the Sun, Mars, and Jupiter changing signs there is a shift taking place with our focus,
intentions, and worldview.
See how these qualities of self-expression, deeper exploration, and detailed improvement
plays out for you personally.
With Mercury T-square Neptune and Saturn see where you can surrender and let go of any
mental noise that might be preventing you from connecting to the now.
It is in this now moment we are in alignment to life.
