This Week’s sky - 07/01/2024
Life Ripples Back
July 1st through July 7th
You can enhance your understanding by applying the Houses these signs and Planets are falling into in your Natal Chart. I am happy to help you with figuring that out, at no cost to you— just shoot me an email!!
Mars Conjunct Uranus: This planetary cycle indicates the liberation of action. Revolutionary action which invigorates life, but can also destabilize it. During this time we become increasingly decisive toward drastic decisions. This alignment increases in strength this week and won't perfect until July 15th at 10 am EST. This alignment will be more intense for Fixed signs [Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius] and offer energy to Earth signs [Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn] This alignment makes us rebellious toward the infrastructure of our lives which hinders the freedom of action. So be aware of destructive behavior and try to channel this energy into productive means of finding new ways to achieve your goals. This transit may see sudden electrical or mechanical problems; in Taurus this could destabilize foundations and the Earth’s crust. Implications of the alignment speak to the uncovering of secrets in leaders, or watery implications like flooding. Geographical location of course is still important to real threats.
Sun Square the Lunar Nodes: Our sense of leadership, the leaders in our lives, and our confidence comes to this ‘karmic crossroads’ where a lot of tension builds. This tension will itself perfect on July 2nd, and influence the energy of the Cancer New Moon. The Sun pulls focus to the Cancer house where emotional wellness and needful exchange are key and the tension with the pull toward the Aries house becomes more apparent. We become more aware of how the exchange of needs within our closer circle conflicts with our personal needs and ability to claim space. The birthright claim Aries is making creates the space in which familia can grow. The manners in which we are highly protective cannot disrupt our ability to grow and move on. As well, our individuality must find harmony with our ancestral line. This may bring up ancestral trauma from the patriarchal lineage. Pay attention to the relationship between the identity and who that has attracted into your life, with the needs of the home.
Mercury Enters Leo: Dramatic movement, elevated speech, self-centeredness in habit. Mercury’s crafty and artsy side comes out with its rulership over mental formations and manual dexterity. We may speak more confidently. Authenticity and imitation in speech is expressed more readily. Which could be fake or flattering.
Pluto Opposition Mercury: This aspect sees that interpersonal situations get to the root of the matter quickly, or there can be concealing in communication. There may be a kind of paranoia within communication making concealing difficult or bringing up skepticism. Pluto aspects can either bring relief or great fear depending on how honest the situation can become. Mental clarity, keen observation, and intuition will support individuals in these tricky situations. With Mercury in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius we may see leaders exposed by the public, deceptions, uncovering. An A.I. generation of a politician that the public believed was real. The exposing of communication records. Trouble in transit. Someone getting busted for smuggling. Legislation or legal matters around travel or borders. This may relate heavily to a socially beloved character given the Sun is in Cancer.
Chiron Square Venus: We deal with repressed feelings of inadequacy and the right to space that make it harder for us to connect to others more tenderly. This will show just how much compassion you have for yourself, and thus what you can offer to others. The ability to feel as though your needs are met and you feel safe is foundational to mental stability. If there are traumas around this Aries house, then they may be triggered by a connection in your emotional bubble.
Neptune Stations Retrograde: Neptune Stationed Direct on Dec 6, 2023; it will station Retrograde on July 2 until Dec 7, 2024. Neptune guides the collective’s relationship to spirituality, illusions, artistic trends, and oneness. What illusionary realities is the collective accepting and thus manifesting into reality? What foggy deceptions are made? What Spiritual patterns are being laid? With Neptunian situations we must be tapped into intuition and communication with collective spirit, the inner knowing, to find truth. With the Retrograde these patterns of delusion, illusion, and spirit will recess and transmute. Public reconsideration of what is real. If nothing is real, then the reconsideration of reality is what changes it. So the collective imagination shifts and changes the artistic manifestations to change the colorful coating of our reality.
New Moon in Cancer: Perfects the evening of July 5, EST. Intention setting, closing, and renewing within the Cancer House and it’s associations. This is the home of the Moon and will be incredibly strong for matters of emotional shedding and growth. This is a good time to move inward to cleanse oneself to create a beautiful foundation of self-love and revitalization. That we could then live harmoniously within ourselves, within our home, with our partners, and with the public.
Jupiter Sextile Mercury: These planets ruling the big and small of life will connect in signs of a performative and expressive nature. Notice how your daily routine fits in with your overall lifestyle as defined by your beliefs. This aspect supports small decisions with the big picture and could feel productive.
*The date ranges reflect the Moon being a majority in the given sign during a 5am-11pm EST range. Moon Signs naturally set each other up for a successful procession through life's subtle developments.
The Moon in Taurus - July 1-2: Supportive for the Moon as self-care is prioritized, but with Mars in Taurus inflammation occurs. Expect to carve out time to tend to the foundations of life in a way which is tender, but requires some urgency.
The Moon in Gemini - July 2-4: This Moon may offer some nervous energy which leads us to really expand our imagination on normally small matters. Remember to ground yourself.
The Moon in Cancer - July 4-6: The Cancer New Moon. Deeply connected to the Lunar body, so keep your awareness there.
The Moon in Leo - July 7: Expressive and seeking dignity. This Moon is for the children so to speak. May follow up with the event from the Taurus Moon.
This week you feel much more exposed and vigilant. This can be triggering and thus can lead to quite rash decision making. Compassion for the self will be important. If destabilizing some part of your life becomes necessary, then it will still be important for you to purge some wounded nature in order to have a clear connection of what kind of new foundation you’d like to lay.
This week will bring forward that which we may be keeping down. The volatility is present. That which you keep inside and thus unconsciously attract from will find you. That which we hoard deep will attract a figure to bring it up; such is life. The compassion you have for yourself and can offer others will determine how well your regulate yourself. This doesn’t mean some of us won’t face challenging situations which demand intense shifts.
It will be quite helpful to know what Houses the Cardinal signs are in this week. Cancer, Aries, Libra, and Capricorn. The Cancer House most importantly.
