Achievement

The planets I'm taking notice of today are the Sun, Pluto and Uranus. They're in hard aspect to each other and all are in what I refer to as "achievement" signs (Capricorn and Aries). 

So to me, it has been a day to get out and DO something. So here I am at 5 years old, riding my tricycle!

Leo New Moon on July 26, 2014

On Saturday July 26th at 5:42 pm CT, we have a New Moon with the Moon and Sun in the early degrees of Leo. Jupiter is also in early Leo, bringing an expansion of this warm, generous and dramatic Leo energy. Remember that this is a great time to set an intention, but be sure to do it within 48 hours!

Get outdoors this weekend and surround yourself with people you love. Go on a picnic, explore the zoo with children or go boating.

Jupiter is in tense aspect to Mars at this Full Moon, bringing to mind the possibility of aggression/fights/disagreements among those in close relationship.

Again, as we have seen most of the Summer, there is an abundance of Cardinal energy: Pluto and Uranus continue their journey through Capricorn and Aries (yep, Cardinal). To add to this, Venus and Mercury are now well into Cancer (Cardinal) - a security-driven, emotionally tender sign.

Capricorn Full Moon July 12, 2014

On Saturday, July 12^th at 6:25 am CT there will be a Capricorn Full Moon.  This melding of Cardinal energies (Water and Earth) results in mud!  Astrology is often delightful in the images it brings to mind.  Truly though, this is wonderful energy to make excellent progress on projects you may have neglected.

Once again, all of the Cardinal energies and signs are invoked in this Full Moon.  Mars (Libra) is square to the Sun (Cancer) and Moon (Capricorn) and Pluto (Capricorn) is square to Uranus (Aries).  If that isn’t enough, Uranus is also squaring the Sun & Moon.

The energy to get things started is truly there this Summer.  The tension is present (see the paragraph above) and Cardinal energy is at hand.

4th of July weekend

There is a lot of “let’s do it” and “do it now’ energy present with Pluto opposite the Sun and square Uranus.  Those of us in the USA are getting ready for 4^th of July and a three-day-weekend, which can be exhilarating, and for some, overwhelming.

You may be planning to get together with friends, or with family.  That too can be attached to anticipation or dread.

Let go.  Let go of all expectations.  Think positively and have no goals.

The Sun is in nurturing Cancer – the mother energy.  Let the Sun nurture and feed your spirit.

The Moon is in Virgo – may good health and vitality be yours.  Eat well this weekend.  Take in food that will nourish your body.  You will feel much better for it, emotionally and physically.

Enjoy the long weekend!
