This morning we wake up to the Moon in
Pisces moving in for a conjunction with Neptune (9:28 PM). Overnight,
Saturn stationed direct in Scorpio just after midnight at 28 Scorpio
17. The Moon also meets the Sun by inconjunct at 10:49 AM as Mercury
in Leo meets Uranus in Aries by trine at 10:51 AM.
By 4 PM, Mercury is inconjunct Chiron
as the Moon creates a solid fortifying sextile with Pluto at 4:40 PM.
Tonight, the Moon will conjunct Chiron while also holding an
inconjunct to Mercury between 4:29 AM and 6:21 AM.
Today begins foggy. The fog may linger
throughout our morning hours. However, as Mercury tightens in trine
to Uranus, lightning shoots through that fog. Conversations pick up
pace and ideas can be exchanged at a rapid pace. At its worst, this
aspect can cause headaches or nervousness. At its best, it's simply
brilliant in regard to fostering new ideologies and fresh
perspectives. Either way, it helps to burn off the fog.
The waxing aspects to Chiron advises us
not to speak too quickly. Be mindful of your words and selective of
your thoughts. Also know, though, that the sextile from Pluto assists
us in bearing the weight of any hardship.
As Saturn stations direct, his energy
is heightened. This brings sobriety to the day along with a sense of
responsibility. On a global level, Saturn's stationed energy may work
much like a poultice drawing all kinds of consequence forward for
past action. This means that if you have skeletons in your closet or
bodies in your freezer, they are due to fall out or be discovered.
Justice is swift and harsh these days and many will receive the licks
of consequence.
It is, however, a solid day. The Moon
is now waning and taking heightened emotions with it. Though, we may
still feel a bit emotional under a Pisces Moon conjunct Neptune. Yet
at this point we are to be surrendering and releasing those emotions
instead of keeping them pent up. Today serves well for that while
also giving us the power of endurance and the ability to foster hope
and a fresh perspective.

This morning we wake up
still under the influence of an active Pisces Moon. Plus, Jupiter
perfects in square to Saturn at 6:35 AM. The stress of our workload
and sense of responsibility is heightened. Jupiter square Saturn is
heavy but it also brings benefit to hard work, integrity,
responsibility, honesty and the ability to self-direct. Put your nose
to the grindstone and keep busy. Meanwhile, Saturn in square to
Jupiter can also begin the rectification of some Jupiter ruled
entities giving hints of what we can expect to echo throughout
Saturn's trip through Sagittarius. These entities include, organized
sports, politicians/politics, news agencies/advertising firms,
judicial bodies/policing entities, schools and their employees,
religious organizations and their representatives. It certainly
applies to squash absolutely anything that is over-inflated or overly
selfish. It's heavy, folks. Like I said. Nose to the grindstone as
all this gunk begins to be excoriated from our world. The purpose of
this aspect is to level out the power held by some of these governing
factions and continue the humbling of humankind agenda that Venus is
pushing. The pressure of it, however, is felt across the entire
globe. It's par for the course that the battle between the Scorpion
and the Lion is not a kind and gentle one. And, when it involves two
power houses like Jupiter and Saturn? Yeah. Heavy. Knowing the
purpose does help a little.
Thankfully we do have an
anchor to assist us through this brought forward by a nice water
trine created between Moon in Pisces, Saturn in Scorpio and Mars in
Cancer. Forcefulness is not going to fly. However, the ability to
“tap into flow” is present. And, if you tap in, you could make a
good deal of solid progress in this day. But, again, this is not
achieved by force but gently and perhaps not even directly. Water
flows over, around and through obstacles while slowly wearing away
harder edges, not obliterating them.
Following this the Moon
creates and inconjunct to both Jupiter and Venus Rx in Leo giving us
an opportunity to check in with our own humility. Those gut checks
are quite sobering and we are left with that feeling as the Moon
becomes Void until entering Aries at 7:24 PM. If self-fault is found,
use the water trine to foster self-forgiveness and acceptance. Let go
of past mistakes and set your vow to learn from them so you can do
better next time. Mars waxes into trine with Saturn until the
perfection on August 6. Use this grounding and solid energy to help
you make steady forward progress toward your goals. It really can
give solid anchorage to your ambitions but you've got to be willing
to flow instead of moving forward by force. Gently but diligently.
Remember, we are dealing with the element of Water, here.

Busy ambition is the word of
the day with the Moon in Aries. We move from the water trine of
yesterday, directly into a fire trine between the Sun and Moon that
waxes in at 3:24 AM. Plus, Venus perfects her second conjunction with
Jupiter at 5:47 PM which means she is also waxing back into square
with Saturn in Scorpio. The great humbling continues. Bubbles burst
and folks are made aware that regardless of their social status or
feelings of personal greatness we all put our britches on one leg at
a time. Budget strings are pulled tight. Relationships are tested.
And, in times of depression, we have a tendency to expose who we
really are. Can you be generous when you feel like you are lacking?
Are you humble enough to reach out for help when you need it? Can you
deliver kind words when you are experiencing personal turmoil or do
you selfishly asses only your own needs without concern for the needs
of anyone else? That gut check waxes in under this sky and continues
as Venus waxes toward Saturn perfecting tomorrow morning. Humility is
something best taken voluntarily. Trust me, it is no fun having this
type of medicine force fed to you.
We are busy and ambitious
but reward for effort could be lacking. That makes the incoming
square from Moon to Pluto in Capricorn at 5:50 PM rather interesting.
Lack of reward and comfort could catalyze feelings of greed under
this square. Temptation may come in an effort to get us to make a
proverbial “deal with the Devil” in an effort to get what we
want. But, the true purpose of this square is to draw attention to
the true emotional motivation behind our goals to start with. Are we
helping the homeless because we really want to help? Or are we
expecting a hero badge for it? Are you working merely for reward or
do you really believe in what you are doing and would do so without
the promise of acclaim, recognition or reward. Who are you when no
one's looking? There is opportunity to get a personal bird's eye view
of that today. Check yourself. Thoroughly.

Last night's sleep could
have been fairly fitful as the Moon in Aries waxed toward a
conjunction with Uranus all night. This perfects in our early morning
(5:22 AM). This with the waxing pressure of Venus square Saturn
(11:08 AM) could have folks waking up rather agitated, nervous,
anxious or just plain pissed off. As joy and comfort continues to be
restricted, I encourage you to not look at what you lack but instead
pay homage and gratitude for the blessings that are solidly present.
Don't overlook the value of what can be considered mundane or seen as
a “given” because truthfully, there are no “givens.” You are
lucky to have what you have. Period. No matter how little that seems
to be right now. However, expect some to rebel because they feel the
doling out of things like money and resources is not fair. This is
because it largely isn't fair and a great leavening needs to occur in
that regard. However, we, collectively, need to work to find a
solution for this as there is no quick or one size fits all solution.
It's taken us a long time to create hole that makes this great
divide. It will take a long time to fill it back it in. There is no
guarantee that everyone will feel efforts to do this are fair;
because, fair is based on a personal assessment of such which varies
from person to person.
it had better be.... |
In this instance, I
encourage you to focus on what it is you can do to help yourself or
the situation rather than sitting back saying, “Someone needs to do
something.” Ok, yeah. I agree. Someone does need to do something
but we are all someone. So, what are you going to do? Can you be a
more conscientious consumer? Can you be more responsible and
conservative of the resources you use? Everyone holds a card of
accountability here and individual efforts matter. Being steady and
responsible in regard to matters of Venus is highly called for under
this sky.
At the same time, some folks
will experience heart break and loneliness under this sky. Some will
stand up strong in protest or by shouting demands that their needs be
met and some could be subsequently and harshly sat down on their
rears in their attempts to do so. It can be quite a discouraging sky.
Venus square Saturn is hard enough. Venus RX square Saturn blown out
of proportion by Jupiter and under a catalytic and impulsive Moon is
even harder. Hold your rudder true. Be gentle with yourself and
realize we are all in this together. You can make a difference. You
do matter. Be prepared to find out where your true and solid support
lies. If you find that support tank empty, start re-thinking how you
foster connections with others in the first place.
The eclipses of September
put relationships under the microscope very harshly. This sky could
very well provide some set-up for that. So, keep your radar up.
At 3:26 PM the Moon meets
Mercury in Leo while also waxing into square with Mars in Cancer
(6:07 PM). Ideas and communication are flying about but no one is
really sure what to do about it. Mars trine Saturn is still
delivering an air of accountability under a feeling of “No Joy”
created by Venus square Saturn. By 6:22 PM the Moon is in trine to
Venus Rx in Leo and at an inconjunct to Saturn in Scorpio. In case
you have not guessed, just about everything in our sky is answering
to Saturn this week. So, no matter what you do, do it with integrity,
responsibility and diligence.
There is a trine with
Jupiter that occurs just prior to the Moon going Void at 7:30 PM
which is a good note to go out on. If you've held yourself on center
under all this pressure, you may feel pretty good about yourself.
This aspect encourages us to take the long view and foster a sense of
benevolence and gratitude. Again. You may not have what you want but
you have what you have. Don't overlook the blessing in that. The Moon
remains Void until entering Taurus at 9:30 PM.

I love Taurus Moon days. I
don't think that is a big secret since I drive the point home once a
month. However, this Moon's ruler, Venus, is under great stress right
now. There is a feeling of lack and restriction. Meaning, there could
be some pretty grumpy cows roaming around out there.
Imagine having a group of
folks who are heavily laden with Taurean energy. Now, imagine telling
them they all have to go on a very strict diet for a long period of
time while living in a plain white walled sterile room. The only
thing in that room is a plain wooden chair. No pillows. No cushy bed.
No plush blanket. No sneaking to the refrigerator for a sweet
midnight snack. No chocolate.
No pleasant aroma of goodies
cooking in the next room. No scented candles. Nothing. A wooden chair
in a white room and a diet of only the bare, spiceless, unadorned
necessities. Bland. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be
around ANY group of Taureans who have just been delivered THAT news.
Sweet merciful heavens. Are you trying to start a stampede? But, yet,
under this Moon with Venus' current condition things could feel just
this barren. No joy.
Folks are determined,
though. Perhaps bordering on the edge of stubbornness due both the
condition of the fixed Moon and the perfection of Mars in Cancer
trine Saturn in Scorpio (4:30 AM). There is plenty of chatter flying
about in regard to matters of Venus as Mercury meets up with her by
conjunction at 10:25 AM. Which means that Mercury is also headed for
his own square with Saturn. This perfects at 4:20 PM. So, before you
shoot your mouth off in the morning remember that Saturn will be
waiting for you early this evening. Keep your mouth and mind in
check. Realize your personal responsibility in regard to the messages
you deliver and expect to get smacked around for it if you don't.
Speak the truth. No fluffling. No glittering it up. Solid
fact-checked humble truth.
Expect some of this truth to
be fairly ugly, too. Mercury makes a sesquisquare with Pluto (which
is sneakily forceful) just as the Moon finds the same by trine (8:44
PM). Talk about a potential expulsion of demons. Keep your ears open
because some of the confessions you hear may not have exactly been
planned. Words can fall out of person's mouth giving away their true
motivations before they ever have a chance to filter what they are
saying.
The confessional and the
potential for over-thinking and blowing stuff waaaaaaay out of
proportion continues into our overnight hours under our Last Quarter
Moon that perfects just prior to Mercury's conjunction with Jupiter
in Leo at 3:09 AM. Interrogation in regard to your confession could
go on All. Night. Long. Keep pouring out the truth (or digging for
it, depending on what side of the fence you are on). You are already
knee deep in the reality of it. Might as well just dive straight in
and get it all out.
However, if your conscious
is clear, then relief may find you restfully sleeping while those
that have steadily worked to build weak construct around their
untruths feel the heat of the spotlight. This is a busy, eventful,
uncomfortable, awkward and, yet, dynamic day for most to say the
least. I do expect that folks with a lot of fixed energy will feel
this pressure the most. My apologies in advance Taurus, Leo, Scorpio
and Aquarius. Do what you do best and hold steady under the pressure
while remembering the main agenda of Saturn in Scorpio---to pull all
this yuck out in an effort to make room for healing and
rectification...the leavening of power and resource. Also be mindful
of Venus' agenda, the humbling of mankind; because, that is
definitely a factor here. This too shall pass. But not tonight. We've
still got a Lunar opposition to Saturn to deal with coming in
tomorrow. A No Joy Taurus Moon, though...blech. I could tell you it
isn't personal but with a focus on Leo it's going to feel personal.
Just remember there is bigger work at play here.

This morning we wake up
still under the umbrella of a joyless Taurus Moon. Things are still
quite uncomfortable and many are none too happy about it. However,
there is a shift brought forward in regard to our mental bodies as
Mercury moves into his home position of Virgo at 3:15 PM. It's time
to get real. Practical. It's time to line up all the options and put
them in order of priority and potential. It's time to slice through
the BS and get to the root of the problem while weeding out anything
that doesn't really apply to the situation we are dealing with. Let
the pruning, reaping and separating the wheat from the chaff in
regard to information begin.
Mercury in Virgo is smart.
But, it's not an Airy Smart. It's an Earthy Smart. Common sense is
mixed with practicality and intelligence. This is a great place for
Mercury to be...for now. There will be a washout imminent (complete
with confusion, untruths, possible
illness/drunkenness/lethargy/forgetfulness and emotionality) as
Mercury waxes into opposition with Neptune in Pisces. This occurs on
August 12 but waxes and builds in prominence until then. This calls
for Virgo to soften the edge on some of her criticisms and realize
that sometimes the lines are not clearly defined. There are gray
areas. No matter how well you categorize stuff, some things are able
to jump from one pile to another. But, for now, Mercury is sharp. I
encourage you to take advantage of that.
Meanwhile, the sense of
discomfort gains prominence as the Moon squares off with Venus Rx in
Leo at 8:39 PM. The Moon meets Saturn by opposition a few hours later
(10:40 PM). This set up creates a very heavy and uncomfortable fixed
t-square. Jupiter and Mercury are both still within orb of it, as
well. So, you know, it's kind of like the fixed t-square from
Hell...to be blunt and many will be blunt today. So, why not. The
outlet for this t-square (what evens out the pressure) is found in
Aquarius. The higher mind. The ability to look past the right now and
peer into the possibility of the future. Inventiveness. Ingenuity.
Inspiration. Emotional detachment and forward progressive
thinking...an acceptance and expectation of change, evolution and
revolution. Experimentation. Personal Freedom. Independence and
interdependence. Collaboration. Hope. Friends. Consulting an expert
for advice. Reach out for these elements for assistance. If the path
you are on isn't favorable to you anymore, start pioneering a new
one. Just don't blow everything up in an effort to relieve the
pressure. There are better ways to go about it. Blowing stuff up just
causes a big mess. Things are messy enough already.

This
morning the Moon has shifted gears into Gemini. She was Void from
midnight until 1:40 AM following a sextile with Mars in Cancer. Now,
she hangs in square to her current ruler, Mercury in Virgo. Now,
while this aspect can create headaches, miscommunication and a clash
of ideas, it can also be helpful. Mercury rules both Gemini and
Virgo. But, Virgo is holding the trump right now. The message she has
for our Gemini Moon is to pick a directive. You can't entertain all
the ideas and theories. You are going to have to whittle that down
and figure out how to put this information to practical use. No
flitting about from concept to concept. Pick one and use it. At the
same time, though, obtaining a clearly defined edge is difficult due
the Moon's waxing square to Neptune which perfects at 5:49 PM. We
attempt to make sense of things only to feel that become all confused
and blurred.
Emotionality
potentially creeps in threatening to cloud our ability to make
logical sense of our emotions which is perplexing to both Virgo and
Gemini. In that instance, let the pot simmer for awhile. Realize not
everything makes sense and, again, don't disregard the gray areas and
the fact that a person's emotional state certainly affect decision
making. So, deal with your emotional body before you decide anything.
Stir the potentials in a simmering pot in the meantime.
More
shifting is in store as Mars exits the watery world of Cancer and
leapfrogs into the fiery territory of Leo at 7:32 PM. Actions carry a
dramatic flair and become more direct as opposed to the flowy
indirect energy we received from Cancer. Mars is more “at home”
here and he is providing us “oomph” to be able to begin exerting
our true selves. This will be a factor under the New Moon in Leo
which will ask us, “Ok, after all of this, who have you discovered
you are? For better or worse, richer or poorer, can you accept that?
Are you willing to improve on it? Are you humble enough to admit to
your past mistakes but strong enough to aim to do better next time
due the lessons you've learned. Can you be you without trying to roar
over everyone else; but, instead, by standing next folks who may be
different from you while fostering mutual appreciation for who they
are too? Has Venus humbled you enough yet? Has she streamlined
everything down to the bare bones long enough for you to catch a
glimpse of what is really important?” These are matters we should
be considering now and under next weeks sky of the darkening Moon.
Let go. Release. Surrender. Accept. Watch the truth rise to the
surface. Listen closely to what is going on around you and hold
yourself steady and accountable. It's all about Saturn this week
which is not the least bit fun or fluffy. Hang in there.
Jyotish or Jyotishya is the customary Hindu arrangement of astrology, otherwise called Hindu astrology, Indian astrology and all the more as of late Vedic astrology. The term Hindu astrology has been being used as what could be compared to Jyotiṣa since the mid nineteenth century, while Vedic astrology is a moderately ongoing term, entering regular utilization during the 1970s
