The Sun's square to Chiron today caps off a week of confusing challenges surrounding our ability to show empathy and compassion. The ego challenges of Mercury's retrograde station in Leo are soothed by a trine to Ceres, which is encouraging us to continue to seek positive solutions. Nonetheless, Mars is approaching the Virgo South Node (completing tomorrow), which leaves us prone to impulsiveness and a tendency to try to do more than is reasonable or feasible. Finding specific solutions that provide quick resolutions is generally elusive, creating a vague impatience. However, the true lessons here are not really geared towards quick solutions but rather, deeper understanding and lasting compassion. The more that we focus on 'detailed solutions' the more impatient we become. But when we focus on developing deeper connection, the resources and solutions will seem to surface spontaneously.


Weekly Summary

JULY 13 - JULY 19

"Can I see another's woe,
And not be in sorrow too.
Can I see another's grief,
And not seek for kind relief."

—William Blake,
Songs of Innocence and of Experience

Mercury slows down to station retrograde this week (on Thursday), making an extended trine to Ceres and a quick sextile to Venus. Mercury and Ceres, working together, suggest a powerfully expansive and supportive atmosphere this week, encouraging positive action and 'life-giving' support. But Mercury, stationing in Leo, brings some significant ego involvement into whatever solutions or assistance we want to apply to the challenges we see others facing. Mercury retrograde in Leo can encourage us to be rather unrealistic about the amount of power we actually have to change our own circumstances — let alone the circumstances that we can see others facing. The Mercury-Venus sextile, coming at the end of the week just after Mercury turns retrograde, suggests attempts to find compromise and at least some ability to talk through possible solutions. It is important to recognize that Ceres in Aries can produce a significant impatience factor if we don't see others doing everything they can to 'help themselves' — or effectively use the help that we are trying to offer. Ultimately, the lessons this week are more geared towards compassionately witnessing and empathetically acknowledging the circumstances of others — not impatiently trying to fix everything. The approach of Mars (ruling Ceres in Aries) to the South Node — a conjunction that will complete at the beginning of next week — increases the tendency to make impulsive attempts to find solutions to the challenges of others. The increasing impulsiveness suggests a tendency to try to do more than is reasonable or feasible. It is important to maintain a broad enough perspective to acknowledge the challenges that others are facing without overreacting to their pain and losing our own objectivity. The key is to develop understanding, compassion, and empathy without assuming that we, as individuals, actually have the 'real power' to impose solutions. Under the waning lunar cycle that was quietly punctuated by last Thursday's Capricorn Full Moon (1:36 PM PDT 18° Capricorn/Cancer), we continue to struggle to find 'footholds' to achieve the accomplishments that the Capricorn Moon's message seemed to encourage. The pressure to find quick solutions only intensify our frustration when we see that our offered solutions don't produce the results that we believe they should. The Sun's square to Chiron, at the end of the week, caps off this week's confusing challenges surrounding our ability to show empathy and compassion while maintaining our own individual perspective — and accepting the limitations of our individual power.

Activity is stirred up on Sunday but it isn't easy to access the information that we need. We feel the need to make preparations but aren't sure exactly what we should be preparing for. We likely have more power than we think we do on Monday. It is important to acknowledge the challenges that others are facing without overreacting to their pain. A significant release of emotion on Tuesday provides an opening that allows us to better understand the challenges that others are facing. We may find some increased patience but we aren't likely to find many real opportunities to actually make forward progress. We are more likely to look for some way to withdraw on Wednesday, instead of sorting through the choices that are presented to us. However, there are fewer complications than we may think. Thursday's atmosphere is quite unpredictable. We may be prone to overreach — believing that we have more power than we actually do. There seems to be a sincere interest in understanding how to find agreement and compromise on Friday. The seriousness in the atmosphere is actually quite reassuring. Finding specific solutions that provide quick resolutions is generally elusive on Saturday, creating vague impatience. The more that we focus on 'detailed solutions' the more impatient we become but when we focus on developing deeper connection, the resources and solutions will seem to surface spontaneously.

Sunday July 20, 2025

Today's Gemini Moon highlights the intuitive capacity of Gemini. The Moon's conjunction with Uranus this morning (4:15 AM PDT) and subsequent trine to Pluto this evening (7:51 PM PDT) puts a bracket around the Moon's morning sextiles to Saturn and Neptune. The Saturn-Neptune conjunction won't fully 'complete' until next year but they within 13 minutes today. The Moon's activity today is helping us to see that an important 'marker' has been placed, defining the potent shifts that are underway. The Saturn-Neptune dynamic can sometimes stifle intuition but also offers extremely powerful capacities to translate our vision into tangible accomplishments. As Mercury moves retrograde in Leo, our intuitive abilities are given a confident 'mouthpiece' today, helping us to communicate what we believe that we can see coming — and what we want to do about it. Nonetheless, the dual nature of Gemini suggests that balancing between intellect and intuition creates challenges to offering a clear, complete message or a fully developed 'plan of action'.


Weekly Summary

JULY 20 - JULY 26

"In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision."

—Dalai Lama

The powerful shifts that are underway are unmistakable this week. Thursday's Leo New Moon (12:10 PM PDT 2° Leo) powerfully connects with Uranus (now) in Gemini, Pluto in Aquarius, and the Saturn/Neptune conjunction in Aries. This is Fire and Air, action-oriented, forceful will-power-driven, inspired intellectual determination. The intuitive elements of Gemini are also highlighted at the beginning of the week. The dual nature of Gemini does suggest that balancing between intellect and intuition creates challenges to offering a clear, complete message or a fully developed 'plan of action'. But Mercury's retrograde motion in Leo is encouraging us to balance our intellectual insights with the powerfully activated intuitive insights offered by the Saturn/Neptune conjunction — which is within 13 minutes of an exact conjunction at the beginning of this week. The Saturn-Neptune dynamic can sometimes stifle intuition but also offers extremely powerful capacities to translate our intuitive vision into tangible accomplishments. As Mercury moves retrograde in Leo, our intuitive abilities are given a confident 'mouthpiece' this week — especially once the Sun arrives in Leo on Tuesday — helping us to communicate what we intuitively see coming and what we want to do about it. The inferior Sun-Mercury conjunction, on July 31, will provide an extremely potent opportunity to show how well we have balanced the intuitive/intellectual elements and allow us to demonstrate our capabilities. Leo energy can sometimes become hampered by distracting ego-involvement and deep feelings of inadequacy. But this week's Leo New Moon, with Mercury retrograde in Leo, helps us set aside the usual ego demands of Leo, allowing us to make the most of the will-power, creativity, and determination of the Leo energy. Venus and Mars complete a rather contentious square on the day before the New Moon. Mars is emerging from a conjunction with the South Node this week, which has briefly drained some of our 'resolve to action'. The subsequent square from Venus certainly indicates chaos and confusion surrounding the information we're trying to use in order to enlist cooperative support for our plans, aims, and goals. But the square is still activating and, since the Moon is waning in light, the Venus-Mars square disruptions are likely short-lived. The retrograding Mercury in Leo is helping us to find our individual voice and, ruling Mars in Virgo and Venus in Gemini, is encouraging cooperation and compromise when common goals can be identified. Even so, the New Moon's opposition to Pluto won't allow us to escape the distinct Power Struggles between individuals and larger 'power structures' (e.g. government and major corporate entities). The power dynamics are certainly a major factor this week but the excited Fire/Air, electrified energy is full of determined, inspired, visionary activity that is offering us the ability to manifest an entirely new vision. Both the extraordinary challenge and the determined resolve are on display this week.

Intuition is highlighted on Sunday but needs to be balanced with increased intellectual activity. There are challenges to offering a clear, complete message or a fully developed 'plan of action'. There are some relationship disruptions on Monday. There is a sharp drop in what little support we might have had on Sunday for clearly communicating our insights, leaving us with conflicting ideas, confusing data, and drifting arguments. The Cancer Moon on Tuesday puts us in a highly materialistic frame of mind, encouraging us to seek safety rather than objectively assessing our position and our overall situation. Extraordinary caution is called for but the aspects suggest anything but (caution). We have helpful support for clearing away debris on Wednesday. There is likely quite a bit going on behind the scenes as well as in our subconscious. The individual, intellectual capacity to recognize and execute best actions is strikingly determined on Thursday. Endurance is extraordinary but can be undercut by tempting distractions. Although we may feel some distinct challenges on Friday, cooperation and compromise are encouraged when common goals can be identified. Our approach is generally 'forward looking'. We begin to see ways to 'hone' our individual message and pare away overblown rhetoric on Saturday. We can set our sights on getting to a clear set of facts, building solid evidence, and setting definitive goals.

Monday July 21, 2025

The pleasantries of today's Moon-Venus conjunction (11:22 AM PDT) is disrupted by the follow-up square to Mars (12:55 PM PDT), highlighting the forming Venus-Mars square that will complete tomorrow and produce even more chaotic disruption. The Moon goes VOC following the square to Mars. There is a sharp drop in what little support we might have had yesterday for clearly communicating our insights, leaving us with conflicting ideas, confusing data, and drifting arguments. The retrograding Mercury only increases the confusion, adding an element of demonstrative distractions that are likely to stir up even more confusion.
