(this was shared by a good friend on FB a bit ago and is so spot on!)

This Tuesday, July 19th is the Full Moon at 27º Capricorn – the earth-bound sign of institutions, structures, government and the father archetype. The Moon represents the feminine qualities of mother, nurturing, security and emotional well-being. Due to the overwhelming domination for centuries of the patriarchal system, there developed a grand imbalance and disconnection between the masculine and feminine energies. This week we have the opportunity to unite both into more harmony and union within ourselves and our global family.

The Moon also aspects Pluto in Capricorn, highlighting the planet of the ‘underworld’. Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008, triggering the global economic melt-down in the financial/housing markets. This is not an easy transit, as established power structures collapse and lose control. Our journey into the subconscious realm reveals the Matrix programs of victim…

During the night the Sagittarius Moon hooked up with the Saturn-Neptune square and some may feel hungover this morning. Don’t worry this will fade as the day goes on and the Moon squares Sagittarius’ ruler, Jupiter, late afternoon. This is definitely a day that gradually improves towards evening. Some time alone in the morning would be good, save social activities for late afternoon or the evening. 🌠☾♐🌠

What looms large today is the Cancer Sun squaring Uranus in Aries in the morning. This is the last major cardinal crunch aspect for awhile and that’s a good thing. Uranus pushed us hard this week which is usually an exhausting experience. Helping us recover is a nurturing trine between the Cancer Sun and Mars in Scorpio this evening and a lighthearted Mercury-Venus conjunction in Leo during the afternoon. Give people plenty of space today to do their own thing, especially the first…

Astrologers often match world events to astrological developments. For instance, it lines up pretty well to suggest that the recent spikes in violence and terrorism could be manifestations of the passage of the war-Planet, Mars, through the dark and intense Sign of Scorpio.

Also relevant: Mars is now forming a configuration known as a Grand Water Trine with the Sun (in Cancer) and the planetoid known as Chiron (in Pisces). Generally, a Grand Trine is seen as a happy phenomenon, allowing the Planetary energies involved to merge easily and well. The Water-centric version has to do with the realm of the emotional. The optimistic take is that the configuration might allow for some constructive processing of all that sometimes dire Mars-in-Scorpio energy. We might find that during the Trine, positive emotions come to the forefront, and are more likely to be expressed in helpful ways. Also, even negative emotions may…

Mercury conjunct Venus in (tropical) Leo. Without severe afflictions, it can indicate a companionable, suave, affable and persuasive person having ability for music and poetry, but if this conjunction is strongly afflicted, the native can become lecherous and excessively egoistic thus exhibitionism, ostentation, hamming,  oppressive and despotic ambitions may manifest.

2016-07 W30: Forecasts for Week 30 of 2016

Overview

The early part of the week is dominated by the Full Moon on Tuesday after a very “karmic” day on Sunday.  Sun becomes void shortly past midnight (CDT) on Sunday and remains void until early Friday.  That makes accomplishment of lasting results during this period, most of the week, somewhere between difficult and impossible.  If you do get results, they will tend to be perverse or oddball.  Mercury is highly active this week, and many of the aspects are disruptive.  Arguments, fights, car problems, plane crashes, and similar will be the norm.  Telecommunications may be knocked out; traffic jams will likely be prevalent.  “Things” get better Friday, and Saturday is a “breakthrough day” for some people (perhaps many).

Sunday

This is a curious “mixed” kind of day where some people can “jump out of” astrology forecasts, karma, and almost anything else…
