This is a powerful fortnight, which began with our second New Moon cycle in Cancer, and a Solar Eclipse. The Full Moon, our second Lunar Eclipse, in the past month, is on the 6th, in the sign of Aquarius. Neptune and Chiron remain closely linked, although Jupiter now begins to move out of their orb, just as Saturn and Uranus begin to move closer towards opposition, which is exact, mid-September. We have a lot of retrograde movement with the outer Planets, making life inward bound and slow moving. A time for deep introspection, before the balance is re-arranged and Pluto once more strides forward. This powerful Eclipse cycle, is paving the way for changes in your life, along with pivotal changes in the World at Large. The Cancerian theme is about nurturance and the place we feel at home, and secure. The Sun moves through Leo now, shedding her regal light, on all. Venus moves into Cancer on the 1st, and Mercury into Virgo. So basically, we continue in the healing formation, in preparation for the changes to come. Uranus calling for a radical spiritual transformation, and Saturn assisting or not, with boundary and structural issues. Trying our abject best, to stay in control and keep everything ordered, is a challenge too great, as old modes of behavior and thinking are in a period of de-solution. Which outworn processes are due for an overhaul, or total discarding in your life?
FULL MOON 13 Aquarius 43 August 6, 2009 08:56 a.m.
ARIES : This is a fine time for you, as the Sun is in fellow fire sign, Leo. Mars in Gemini, also supporting your random nature, which by the end of the fortnight, is trined by the Healing Planets in Aquarius. There will no doubt, be an opportunity for you to move through some stuff, in a very novel, entertaining and thought provoking way. Much of this, comes by way of the mind now. Be prepared to be stretched in so many ways, as this new information, takes you by storm.
TAURUS : Venus in Cancer, is all about nurturing. Giving and receiving love, and creating abundance in your life. Abundance looks different to everyone. Find the priorities in your life, and set about creating the environment which best suits and supports you. What really matters now, is that you have a strong sense of family around you. This however, need not necessarily be your blood relatives. It can be your own community of close friends. Accept yourself, and show some deep compassionate understanding for you.
GEMINI : Mars in Gemini, is playing nicely with the Sun in Leo, by the end of this fortnight. You will be feeling in high spirits, and probably the life of any part. Your communication talents, seem to have no limits, as the planets in Aquarius join in as well, and bring with them, the information highway. Moving through dimensions, at lightning speed, will keep others baffled, or at least highly entertained. What a great feeling it is, when you are finally plugged in again, and all batteries charged.
CANCER : What a lovely time, when the Lady of Love graces your sign. Let her glide over your sensitive places, and imbue you with some unconditional love, and sweet gentleness. This is the time to be kind to yourself. Tenderness which begins in the direction of yourself, will find it’s mark in unexpected ways. Once you have allowed the light of creation, to enter your heart center, you will be in the perfect place, to nurture others. Something that you do so well...
LEO : Birthdays are such fun times. A time to dress up, and be your most outrageous and extraordinary self. You are being encouraged to find your own eccentricity in its’ finest details, during the current transits. The Birthday, is the perfect place to platform this re-invented you. Shocking your friends, is nothing new for you, so why would you hold back now? Mars is adding spice and naughtiness to any gathering, so make sure yours is fired up. Remember, they only come, but once a year.
VIRGO : Mercury loves to be in Virgo, so your intellectual endeavors will be on the up and up over the coming weeks. The good thing too, is that it is set to retrograde in your sign as well, so any subjects you don’t perfect, at first pass, you get to do again. With your mind so sharply honed, anything is possible, and what a great opportunity while Saturn and Mercury in Virgo, oppose Uranus in Pisces in September. Really big shifts are possible for you now, so make the most, and be prepared for change.
LIBRA : Venus in Cancer, makes life a little more emotional and touching oriented, compared to the normal intellectual exchange. This is not to say, that you are not a feely touchy, kinda person; it’s just relationship will be more inclined in that direction over the coming month. With Sun in Leo, the ego wants to be stroked as well, along with the rest of the body. So indulge the beloved, and pamper them a little and yourself a lot. This is the perfect time for a long deep and nurturing massage.
SCORPIO : Pluto is back to that very potent 0 degree and brings with it the desire for setting straight the path. The foundations were solidly laid, and yet perhaps you need a small reminder of the true direction of your path now. This is the time to take stock, since Pluto’s first entry into Capricorn early last year. How far have you come, and what have you achieved to date, and what yet are the changes which need to be re-instated, particularly by mid September?
SAGITTARIUS : Jupiter back-tracking until mid August, will see you tenderly implementing changes, which in effect will be lasting, come the next forward motion, which carries through in Aquarius until January. You are taking enormous strides in your life now, and although at times, a tad daunting, even for the likes of you, are nonetheless exciting. What do you need to integrate into your being, at this time. Information needs grounding and assimilating, so be about this now, before the next intake.
CAPRICORN : Saturn marching towards her destiny and fated meeting with Uranus. For those already around in the mid-sixties, this is a momentous time for you and also for those who are around the age of thirty. The rest of you, too, will feel the deep and lasting impact of this time, on your life. Learning to be an adaptable control freak, is no mean feat. This takes courage and accountability, both of which you have plenty of. Let the Light of Creation, filter through all the density and illuminate all your dark corners.
AQUARIUS : Uranus and Saturn both, your rulers, marching together in the sign of Pisces and Virgo respectively, pushing, pulling and stretching your life into balance and harmony. First though, comes the discomfort. The need to surrender that which no longer fits, works, or suits the You, you are becoming. This process at times is uncomfortable, no doubt, and yet what you will discover at the end of this particular journey is the jewel, within the lotus. The real essence of yourself; and that’s certainly worth all the letting go.
PISCES : There is a slow dissolving of the solidity of life, as you know it, occurring. Although most of your life is lived, in an altered state of reality, this is, even for you, a tad unsettling. As the veils become thinner, and the boundaries dissolved, you find yourself in a no-man’s land, where all can be created a afresh. This is not never-never land, but rather a land of infinite possibilities and all of them viable, when you co-create from a space of love. Let your dreams be filled with the light of creation, and be bold.
