New Moon cycle started on the 14th in Gemini and heading towards the Full Moon partial eclipse in Capricorn on the 26th. This Full Moon is conjunct Pluto, and promises to bring some emotional disturbance. The eclipses in June and July set the tone for the next six to nine months. Coming in pairs as they do, July’s Solar eclipse is in Cancer, and emphasizes emotionality and sensitivity. The moon eclipse, although conjunct Pluto, is in that very practical, grounded, earthy and time-oriented sign of Capricorn. You could use these coming months to delve into your emotional self in an organized and determined way to bring about your personal transformation, rooting out unnecessary attachments, behaviors and emotional glitches. You will then have the potential to touch your true feelings in an ongoing spontaneous way, which will promote your own authenticity, responding from your heart to situations, in preference to learnt or applied behaviors. In effect, what this will do is free you up to be available to constant change and manifesting your reality as you go along, in whatever way best suits the situation. Learning to let go attachment, criticism and judgment, is a crucial part of this exercise. The other key ingredient being forgiveness. No one is going to do this work for you. Everyone must undertake this journey of their own free will. Of course, supporting and nurturing each other is what the Sun in Cancer and Solstice on the 21st and Mercury following along on the 25th, is all about.
FULL MOON 4 Capricorn 46 07:31 p.m. (partial lunar eclipse)
ARIES: Fighting for the underdog is what you do best during these current transits. You will find over these next years, that your humanitarian streak will be finally tuned, as your heart goes out to those in need and those less fortunate than what you are used to. Uranus brings sudden and unexpected change to your life. Count your blessings and be grateful for all, the World continuously gives to you and the beauty which abounds within her. You will be doubly blessed yourself, each time you remember to bring some appreciation into everyday and mundane events. Be bold and express your true passion.
TAURUS: Venus is freshly in the sign of Leo and would like you to be at your gregarious best, bringing joy and laughter to those you love the most. Follow the impetus which struck at your heart at the beginning of this fortnight. If some unexpected new romance has happened along, perhaps it is just what you need to reinstate those feelings of confidence and passion. Allow the inspiration of others to create new pathways in your life. It’s not that you will be following in their footsteps as much as you will be encouraged to express your own brand of enthusiasm. When all is said and done, you are a very artistic and creative individual.
GEMINI: Mercury, having fast-tracked itself through your sign, now enters Cancer. It brings with it the need for nurturing words in the form of endearments and encouragement. For the most part, you tend to remain a little aloof with your remarks, and as such, can leave others feeling stranded. Be creative and authentic with your response while dialoguing with others, especially those nearest and dearest, although it is a good practice to do it with everyone. Your ability to butterfly hop from conversation to conversation while remaining very mental, is sweet. What’s being called for now though, is emotional depth.
CANCER: The Sun brings warmth and joy into your life, as it enters your sign this fortnight. Let this Birthday be the beginning of some big changes. Tapping into the essence of you, is the task at hand. Allow this endeavor to be an awesome and amazing journey of self-discovery. Delight in your own being, as you rediscover your innocence and revel in the simplicity of life. You are receiving a lot of support from Mars in Virgo, bringing practicality to your endeavors, along with a great deal of discernment and pleasure in the sensual side of your nature. Work will play a prominent role in your life this coming year.
LEO: Venus in Leo, is making you appear very confident and self-assured. If you are feeling anything other than this, perhaps it is time to pull yourself into alignment by reassessing your thought processes. Be aware of the types of beliefs and judgments you are running about yourself and your ability to handle situations. Often we are creating a life, which is not to our liking purely through our unconscious thinking, and by the same token we can create what we prefer, with some clarity and intention. If all of this is too much for you, then just live your life in constant joy and gratitude and all is well.
VIRGO: Mars traveling through your sign along with Saturn until the end of July, is promoting some much needed assistance and stamina. A great time to get yourself organized while feeling nurtured. This also works in reverse, as the benefits received while helping others will be very fulfilling at this time. Any quick-witted friends will also keep you greatly amused and help to release any pressure you may be experiencing through overwork. Remember to maintain the balance and harmony within your physical and emotional bodies. This is an optimum time to materialize your dreams.
LIBRA: A lot of emphasis will be placed on your ability to harmonize opposites with grace and ease over the coming months, and to some degree, years. The sooner you allow yourself the freedom to change course, mind and beliefs spontaneously, the easier your life will become. Challenges are more apt to appear when your resistance to apparent outside influences is up. Remain nonreactive, for a moment and allow the truth of a situation to reveal its’ true nature before jumping to conclusions. It is all too easy for the mind to conjure up problems where there are none. Relax a little, and lighten up.
SCORPIO: Full Moon joining Pluto towards the end of the month, bringing the watery depths of your true nature out for all to see. This marks the beginning of some very interesting phenomena appearing in your life. For many of you, this is a welcome change to the relentless pace that you placed upon yourself over recent months. As Uranus opens you up, and Saturn insists on balance, you will integrate these experiences into your mind. With clear direction from your higher self, you will then use your mind to discern the best possible outcome, and the best route to achieve that end. This process will use much less of your energy.
SAGITTARIUS: How are you holding up with the current astrological configurations? How many of you have managed to burn yourself out over recent weeks? This is the appropriate time to assess your priorities and to see where your creations now need tweaking. Allowing spontaneity to rule your life, as the guiding force, can be a pleasurable experience. Finding the fulcrum point between that, and reckless action is both highly beneficial and necessary. Your achievements will reveal to what extent you have managed this balancing act. There will be some learning curves over the next few weeks, to this end.
CAPRICORN: Enjoy these final weeks of Saturn in Virgo, by getting your house in order for the potential chaotic disruptions in July and August. Some will be affected more than others, which is always the case with the consequences of transits on an individuals chart. Your job is to do your inner work as well as bring vigilance and determination into your daily routine of conscious living. Allow the divine to inspire you, or you will burn yourself out, running in endless circles with the inappropriate directions from the human aspect of your brain, which is in truth just the instrument with which to receive the messages from your higher self.
AQUARIUS: With the movement of Uranus into Aries, there must be a noticeable shift of awareness in your life. It may be subtle or it may be life altering, but the joining of Jupiter with your ruler has opened you up to receive higher impulses from the galactic center and beyond. This can be felt as an acceleration in your field, or simply the need for less sleep. These next few weeks are a bit of a warm-up for what is to come, as Uranus moves fully into Aries in March next year. Are you feeling excited yet? Any challenges you may encounter will come from the dismantling of old structures and routines in your life.
PISCES: Maintaining your balance in a boat that is being tossed about by the ebb and flow of the ocean is a tricky task. This is a possible metaphor for your life at this time. The impact of the movement of Uranus from Pisces into Aries is this dramatic. Adjust to the new momentum or chance being swept away by the currents of life. Use the counter balance or opposite polarity of the earthy Mars in Virgo to set your goals and develop some strategies for life. The Sun in Cancer is bringing you some fellow watery playmates and bed buddies. Allow some deep soul rest and nurturing this fortnight.
