July 6th 

A big hearted proud dramatic Leo Moon trines SATURN in SAGITTARIUS early morning and in the wee hours in PDT. Your dreams may be full of drama, fireworks and adventure, with you starring on the stage, being a leader and defending your family or identity.

The LEO MOON inconjuncts NEPTUNE in PISCES also in the early a.m. 

This can turn those dreams quite sour, bringing disillusionment and disappointment. The thrill is gone, the bubble bursts, deflation sets in. No matter how hard you have tried you can’t seem to reach your goal of finding your soul mate or that perfect someone or something. But all is not lost, the ego needs to step down as it is not in control. Forgiveness is a huge step to growth.  A Neptune is the “higher Octave” of Venus the next aspect draws Neptune into the fray.

VENUS in Cancer TRINES MARS…

A good time to: explore your ability to communicate, especially on subjects entailing organization.

Challenges: Over-thinking to the point of confusion.

Coinciding with the New Moon of July 4th, America’s 240th birthday is NASA’s historic unique spacecraft JUNO which it is hoped will get very close to JUPITER for the first time ever on this day.  Besides Astrology I also love Astronomy. The two were once the same science.  If all goes according to plan, a perilous manoeuvre will place Juno into orbit around Jupiter, where the spacecraft will remain over the next 18 months, providing an unprecedented look at Jupiter’s powerful gravitational and magnetic fields. If something goes wrong, the US$1.13 billion mission which was launched August 5, 2011, will shoot past Jupiter, into deep space with no chance of return. NASA only has one shot at this. The engine burn will start at 11:18pm ET on July 4.

You can watch the action at NASA unfold beginning at 10:30pm ET, as engineers monitor Juno’s instruments and anxiously await confirmation of the…

Between the New Moon in Cancer and multiple aspects to the Cancer Moon, we may feel very sensitized to every passing mood today. The tide is in with six planets in waters signs, four of those in Cancer! The Moon will have some help from the two planets in earth, Pluto in Capricorn this morning and Jupiter in Virgo this afternoon. Otherwise be prepared to swim. 🙂 It will be late tonight when the Moon squares Uranus in Aries before going void-of-course until tomorrow. All those who are celebrating the Fourth of July, enjoy the fireworks but stay safe. 🌠☾♋🌠

It’s Mercury in Cancer’s turn to trigger the Saturn-Neptune square and it is inconjunct Saturn this afternoon and trine Neptune early tomorrow morning. Given how thin skinned people could be feeling today, it would be good to practice tact or perhaps say nothing at all. Mercury in Cancer can pinch…

Since food is defined as something that we ingest in order to sustain life and growth, it takes many forms that we absorb through senses and functions other than taste and digestion. There could be many reasons why a certain food doesn’t sit right with us, from our mood to overindulgence, an allergic or chemical reaction in our bodies to the fact that it may be downright unhealthy for us. We have “soul food” for our bellies and soul food that actually has an impact on our souls. As for many kinds of plants, both soil and sun are sources of energy for us.

Right now, the Sun is in Cancer moving into opposition with Pluto, and as I began to type this the dark moon prepared to for renewal on July 4th at 12 degrees of Cancer. Many news posts I have seen for the past couple of days…

“Empathy”

Once the Moon shifts into social Leo this afternoon, you may feel more like getting out and roaming around again! It’s been a pretty decent 4th of July weekend astrologically speaking, and even though we should be focused on getting back to work…it might prove difficult, because with the Moon in Leo stirs up our inner child, and it begs us to get out and play again! We’re looking for a little bit of drama and flair, as we begin to go after what makes us feel passionate. Doing things in life that are pleasurable and that are around other people can make us feel happy now.

Mercury (our thoughts) connects beautifully to Neptune (our spirituality) today, this will seriously enhance your intuition and imagination. Get involved in activities that are artistic, creative and imaginative. Any decisions that are made today will be used with…

After the crazy traffic jam in the cosmos we experienced last month, July is going to be a more restful period, although not without its own homework for us to do. This month is all about communication. Communicating what’s on our mind, communicating with our heart, communicating with others….which includes actively listening with our entire being. In June we had many planets go into retrograde, we had grand crosses, a summer solstice, portals opening, and a whole lot of inner work.

In June, the overall theme was love, however, June did not favour communication as we were too busy processing our introspective insights.Love is the ultimate creative energy, so don’t be shy to express yourself creatively this month. Think big, and put your ideas out into the world. Also, don’t be afraid to speak your mind….and no, not in the inconsiderate way, but speaking from a place of emotion…

“What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you”. Ralph Waldo Emerson

“What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality”. Plutarch

Sun, Moon, Venus and Mercury all in Cancer, cardinal water, Cancer is ruled by the Moon. This moon is in opposition to Pluto, trine to Neptune. Plus it’s watery. You may find some emotions, feelings, break on through to the surface. Pluto of course may add the extra intensity to them. Pluto across from Moon/Sun will be luring the emotions out from the inner you.

Cancer is emotional, feelings, you will feel and have many over the next few weeks. Use them wisely, soak them up, let them flow through you, over you, let them wash away, let them transform YOU!

Cancer/Capricorn is the axis of security/insecurity, inner and outer, build on the inner to help support the…

In ancient mythology, the Moon ruled side by side with the Sun god or goddess, and was often more important than the sun, because of it’s wisdom, guidance and spiritual knowledge. The Moon affected so many aspects of life and the personality, that it was often considered to have much power. And given several different names through out history because of this. Here are just a few of the names, that the Moon has been called Selena, Phoebe, Cynthia, Artemis, Hectate and Diana. Artemis, in mythology the Moon, is considered the absolute female archetype, and the total mother and nurturer of the planet. This is best seen through the three phases of the Moon. Wherein, the waxing Moon represents the youthful maiden, the full Moon is the mother goddess, and the waning Moon is the wise old woman. Hence all the ancient lore associated with the several…

Why does this flight take us from London to Istanbul? And why is this Black Moon chart cast for London at 12:00 pm on July 4? Because, intriguingly enough, the Black Moon in July in London falls exactly at the stroke of 12:00 noon, the peak of the day as a moment of solar illumination, when valuable insight may come not just for individual people, but for whole communities and societies. And because London is still reeling from the consequences of the Brexit vote on June 23, and yet another mass murder has just been perpetrated in Istanbul at a moment of terrific economic and political tension.

Feeling so sad today. On Thursday my brother asked me to the ceremony that was being conducted by aboriginal elders to bless the new building he designed and built. I was very concerned considering the way he works all the hours God sends and then knocks back alcohol with out concern for the fact he is tired, as a friend in the fellowship pointed out, he is abviously using alcohol to keep going.  I wish he could stop and rest.

I also know he is so creative, his mind constantly active on designs, I am just not a real fan of the huge buildings he creates, full of steel and glass with a huge marble tiled atrium containing a double helix shaped fixture (is it a staircase?), genius in its design though.  Part of me switches off to something that to my mind and heart is huge and cold, something…

Tonight begins the New Moon, dear ones.  It will be exact tomorrow (July 4^th) at 4:01 am PDT.  This gives us a bit of stillness, a bit of quiet, a bit of need for retreat with this U.S. holiday.  We are also under the spell of the Moon, the Sun and Mercury all in Cancer right now.

Cancer is the only sign ruled by La Luna.  She is perhaps the most sensitive to the tides out of all the water signs, and we know all water signs run deep with emotions and intuitive energy.  Cancer is all about security and protection.  She is associated with home and family; she is the ultimate caretaker.  She is the Crab and known for acting moody, but she only does this to protect her sensitivities.  The Crab is soft and delicious inside.  She carries her shelter and all her defenses with her to…

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but, even if I have, it’s worth repeating here. Have you noticed the trend over the last couple years of New and Full Moons falling either on or very close to holidays? I know this probably happens more often than we are aware of, but it just seems to be drawing more people’s attention now.

Just recently, we celebrated the Summer Solstice and that same day was the Full Moon. Now here we are, about to celebrate the 4th of July in the USA, with the New Moon occurring the same day. It’s interesting to say the least.

Is the Universe offering us an energetic opportunity to bring about some really intense, long-awaited changes in our lives? Full Moons are an opportunity to “take out the garbage” in our lives. They offer us the chance to rid ourselves of anything (or anyone)…
