We begin the week with the increasingly intense drumbeat signalling Monday's powerful Full Moon (11:10 AM PDT 15° Aquarius/Leo). The insecurity of the last New Moon (July 23rd, 2:45 AM PDT 0° Leo) has been glossed over by an appealing layer of self-confidence and sociability. However, by the end of this week, Mercury will turn retrograde and lead us towards a liberating exploration of buried and hidden self-doubts that continue to tap our courage. We may feel [...]
The Leo Sun and the waxing lunar cycle combine to suggest an extraordinarily momentous week for individual foundation building or 'individuation'. We are guided by strong intuition and aided by a fair amount of luck. The strong will and fixity of Leo is clearly on display this week but Venus arrives in Cancer to help us muster a bit of finesse and charm in attracting attention and feeding the Leo ego, rather than simply relying on bluster and bombastic displays. A Mercury-Vesta Conjunction [...]
This week's New Moon is the first of two Leo New Moons in a row. The following Leo New Moon on August 21 (11:30 AM PDT 28° Leo) will be the much touted Full Solar Eclipse (visible in North America). Insofar as the two lunar cycles are connected by sign, we should expect that the journey that is initiated this week will be extended into the next lunar cycle as well. This week begins with a highly precipitous Leo New Moon (2:45 AM PDT 0° Leo) on the Cancer-Leo Cusp conjunct a particularly [...]
Although the Moon is waning in light this week, the Mars-Uranus square keeps the energy ramped up until at least mid-week. There are strong urges to grab the reigns and gain mastery and control over situations and external circumstances. However, by the end of the week, it is increasingly apparent that it is our inner world that needs our attention. The emotional/intellectual duality that is at work this week can be seen in a sincere intellectual curiosity that is seeking to gain a view from above that gives a [...]
The challenge of unexpected or sudden change — either devastating or beneficial — may not be fully realized until we reach the adjustment phase when we are forced to adapt or adjust to whatever change or transformation we have passed through. This week is a week of adjustment, following last week's transformational Full Moon (July 8th, 9:06 PM PDT 17° Capricorn/Cancer). The temptation is to look for technical answers or procedures. We'd like to find the right technique that will allow us to efficiently adapt, restore a sense of surety, and simply move on. [...]
