This fortnight starts with the New Moon on the 3rd, in Cancer. Mars is freshly into Virgo, and Mercury marks its’ debut in Cancer, on the 11th. Venus also changing signs this fortnight, moving into Leo on the 13th. This time of year, when the Sun graces the sign of Cancer, we are all feeling more homely and very sensitive. Deeply in touch with our emotions, intuition and creativity. Let then, this fortnight herald in, a time of settling into your heart center and belly. What is appropriate for you at this time? You have innate knowledge within the cells of your being, which can show you the necessary healing and the most appropriate actions, at all times. The only criteria, is that you must be still, to access its’ wisdom. Mars in Virgo, will assist you in this process. Virgo is precise and dedicated to the cause. So put it to good use over the next few weeks, to get yourself in order, and ready to receive Divine guidance. Many are feeling a renewed sense of passion in their life’s work and purpose, after the portal opening on the Full Moon and Solstice in June. This is the time for nurturing yourself, and learning to take care of you. Only then, can you be of assistance to others, if that is your calling. So if you are feeling selfish, and want to retreat to your cave, for a while, that is totally natural. Everything moves, in repeating cycles. This is the time for introspection and tuning into the Moon and her cycles.
NEW MOON 11 Cancer 32 July 03, 2008 10:20 a.m.
ARIES : Mars in Virgo, is doing a job of getting you sorted. It can be a little boring and monotonous, however, you will gain great rewards from
this time, of taking care of, and organizing your life. Mars meets up with Saturn, this fortnight as well, to make it a double whammy. Being forewarned, gives you, hopefully, a little reserve and patience while these transits last. When Mars moves into Libra, later in August, you will again be prodded into action. So, I suggest you put this time to good use, and get your life in order.
TAURUS : With Venus in Leo, you will be feeling very amorous, and seeking attention from the opposite sex, if that is your sexual preference. As she hooks up with Pluto, early August, you could be in for relationship intensity. Also pulling in Neptune, North Node and Chiron energy during the month, healing, re-unions and romance are highly likely. Perhaps, a past love will pop back into your life, which will bring this much needed healing through compassion and forgiveness.
GEMINI : Mercury, doings its’ job of reminding you of your intuition, pulls you away from the thought process and into gut instincts. Remember, usually the first thought/idea that pops into your mind is the correct one. Drop the habit of second guessing yourself and procrastinating. Soften your attitudes and learn to listen from your heart, to others. But, as I mentioned in the intro, this is the time to take care of you. What is it, that you need to stop the monkey mind? What form of relaxation, takes you to a space of an empty head?
CANCER : Birthday’s are a grand time, to indulge yourself. It is that one day of the year, where you feel like you can ask others, for what you want. Being so good, at the nurturing game, perhaps, this is the opportunity for you, to let others pamper and cater to your whims. Let your communications, follow on from your hearts yearnings and all will be given. The Universe is just waiting to fulfill your requests. Clear intentions are of paramount importance, and feeling worthy of receiving, is your goal.
LEO : You could be in for a surprise in the relationship arena, this fortnight. Just when you thought things had become a little stale, out of the blue, your partner offers some much needed inspiration. This will lead, to a great transformation, in your relating. A movement away from competition and more into caring for one another. This is the time to allow former grievances to be forgiven, if you want to mature and grow, and for your relationship to take on its’ full potential. That’s an exciting prospect.
VIRGO : Mars in Virgo, will help you bring your life, into alignment. Whatever is out of balance, can easily return to equilibrium now, with the right, diet, exercise and relaxation regime. Harness this energy, while it is available, as it will be much easier, than at a later time. Your thoughts also need a bit of a cleanse. Discard those, which no longer support you, or what you want to create in your life. Negative thinking will hold you back, more readily then anything else. Everything comes back to our thought processes.
LIBRA : Override any urges, which stem from your ego, when it comes to relationship interactions this fortnight. This is the time, when we recognize our oneness and shared humanity, within that, there is no blame or hierarchy. Take back your power, and be responsible for your life. It is so easy, within relationship, to use the other person as an excuse, for us not doing our soul’s purpose. The repercussion of this, is that we often become sick. Be bold, and step into your role.
SCORPIO : If you’ve noticed a bit more movement in your life over the past couple of weeks, it is due to Pluto’s return to Sagittarius. Make hay while the Sun shines is the old adage, and a good one to apply for the next few months. Look into the future with optimism, and broaden your perspective and horizons. You want to have a very workable plan in place, come the end of the year, when the hard work of rebuilding really begins. Take the time now, to get some space, to introspect.
SAGITTARIUS : Jupiter retrograde, may slow the pace, just a little, but this is a good thing. It gives you the time, to get things in order and create a plan, that has the potential of supporting your projects, rather than making extra work for yourself. The Pluto retrograde also, gives you the opportunity to close any doors and finalize any outstanding debts, which need attention, now. We will all need our house in order, come the end of the year. Curtail your spending, and start remodeling your life, to suit the coming times.
CAPRICORN : Saturn trines Mars in Virgo this fortnight, which really gives you a lot of back-up, when it comes to sorting, prioritizing and setting up systems. You could use this time also, to get your physical body, into shape with an exercise regime. Your business, family and body will all benefit from this. Soften yourself, during this Cancerian time, and make family a priority. Home is a very important place, filled with people you love, and who love you. Show them your gratitude through loving gestures.
AQUARIUS : Uranus travels retrograde now, until the end of the year. This doesn’t mean that your life goes backwards, it just means that you get to work and rework, the changes which were implemented during the time, since last November. What a lot of growth and change you have experienced, indeed. Take a moment to reflect and find some gratitude. Remember, this has been a softening process which has seen much empathy arise in your heart, and on the Planet. Keep up the good work.
PISCES : A great time of healing and transformation, is upon you. Many are sensitive to the earth changes, which we are currently undergoing. If you are one of these, then share your feelings, and allow the energy inside, to find an outlet. Singing is a good one, and a way to move beyond the heaviness of human existence, with all it’s suffering and pain. Being sensitive is a beautiful thing and sharing your gentleness with others will give them, insights into their own true natures.
