In this brief astrological forecast, Joni Patry explains that on Saturday, July 18, the Moon will spend most of the day in Leo before moving into Virgo around 2 PM. Throughout the day the Moon remains in the nakshatra Uttara Phalguni, which is associated with marriage, partnerships, and heart‑opening. Patry advises listeners to use this time for connecting with others and opening their hearts, but warns that once the Moon enters Virgo, a more critical, analytical attitude can surface, so it’s best to lay low on criticism. She also notes that with the Sun now in Cancer, Jupiter is becoming increasingly combust, weakening its influence. Additionally, Mercury is positioned in the 10th house from the Moon, making it a favorable day for workplace communication and collaboration. The overall guidance is to focus on relationship building, be mindful of Virgo‑type criticism, and leverage the supportive Mercury‑Moon alignment for professional interactions.

Saturday, July 18th. The Moon is in Leo most of the day, but it will leave Leo around 2 PM, a little earlier than that, but around that time the Moon will go into Virgo. So half the day it's in Leo, but the whole day pretty much it's going to be in the nakshatra Uttara Phalguni. And the Phalgunis are actually the nakshatras that deal with marriage and relationships. So be aware that this is a time for coming together with people, making— opening your heart. Even though the Moon, when it does go into Virgo, try to lay low with the critical stuff, trying to be so analytical. And with Jupiter, now that the Sun has come into Cancer, Jupiter is going to be somewhat weakened bit by bit because it's going to be combust the Sun. Mercury is in the 10th from the Moon. This is a good day for you around the office, working with people, making, making sure that you communicate well with them.
