ASTROLOGY NEWSLETTER JULY 2021
Hello my fellow star travelers, here we are, mid year, at the same week of our nation’s first revolution some 245 years ago ! We will motor through the early week ‘s conflicting attitude of rebel Uranus towards Mars, Venus and law abiding Saturn that is just mirroring our own earthly upheavals back at us. It sure looks to be a Yankee Doodle Dandy of a week. Then relief edges in slowly with the second week’s planetary shift that includes the upbeat boost from gift giver Jupiter conjoining our USA natal moon in Aquarius for much of the month. As always, the lunar new moon of 10th, full moon of the 24th,, hold meanings not to be overlooked, as the ancient Babylonians, Egyptians, Mayans, Celts, Greeks, Indians, and other watchers of earth and sky knew so well.
Mid to later month the excitement of Mars and Venus whose twinning in Leo positively re-ignites an eclipse back some eight months ago. More on that to be addressed further down. Very late month the energy pattern moves into a more practical and less robust pattern of yet another new shift since nothing stays the same up there or down here!
In the bigger picture we’re still slinking along under four retros, Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto and Saturn until October. Now that looks to be a month whose planetary windshield wiper might very well clear a lot of chaos and debris from our sight. I’ll be waiting with a rag and some Windex. For now the best plan as mentioned last month, would still be to slow down, relax, rewind and even renovate? As for me, at home in my tower, I did re-write this missive a few times.
THOUGHTS ON THIS CYCLE:
The weekend of America’s 245th birthday through Tuesday, should traditionally be a festive barbecue sort of time. However caution and safety might be the best attitude to hold, particularly on Sunday’s parade day. The energy is in collision mode, thank you Saturn, Mars and Uranus with your grand T square. On a more personal scale, try avoiding squabbles and other personal conflagrations. Or a better alternative might be, ‘silence is my answer’ .
As for the birth chart of our own USA, some hopeful news shows with Jupiter‘s slow moving course over our humanitarian Aquarius moon so nicely lined up to Mars and Venus. As previously mentioned, our country’s Pluto return after 245 years indicates a deep inner transformation, call it a rebirth, of what exact details we’ll have to wait and see. Change is upon us, certain events adding up to this conclusion have already arrived. We’ve all witnessed words being used as swords, swiping at enemies both real and imagined. Then some attempts to repair what has been broken. What’s next?
July 6-9 th Not wanting to be the skunk at the picnic, I do have some exciting news! It’s the arrival of Venus and Mars now in Leo and dancing With The Stars for most of the month! For some time I have anticipated this duo’s arrival matching that solar event of last December 14th. Is the party going to be at your house or mine? Because the aura and energy of that total eclipse is still present and ignited now in such a positive way as to more than likely host some happier days. Take advantage as I always say.
July 10-13th I’m also relieved to mention that later Friday night’s new moon in generous Punarvasu, meaning “the return of the light” brings such a timely occurrence. Punarvasu follows late Gemini’s and early Cancer Ardra, symbolized by the tear drop, sadness and water, which we’ve just seen in Florida. It’s a welcome change of direction and action simultaneous with Mercury’s perfect lineup to Jupiter over in Pisces. This combo should harken an upsurge in movement, communication and travel!
July 14-18th Some more subtle and cheerful news is encased in the upper stars’ support for these particular days, in spite of what the news is “breaking” or even screaming, down here on earth. Call it the confab of Pluto, Neptune, with asteroids Ceres, Juno and Vesta, all in perfect geometry to the Sun in Cancer. as just described. It’s in orb for most of the month as we swim over to the Full moon ‘s early Leo days.
July 19- 24th I’m so glad we’ve had some celebratory days because later month takes on a slightly different hue. Along with the Sun’s slow move over into Leo, other sky gods are shifting place too. I’m encouraged by Mercury in Cancer reaching over to Neptune for inspiration, creativity and a little magic? Neptune exalted in Pisces, his water cave, is the ruler of film and screen. Theaters opening? Or better, some heart felt scripts being written under the moonlight?
Friday’s full moon in Uttarashada, (7:37 pm pdt), Capricorn into Aquarius for us in the West, holds the fair meaning of “finding truth”,
along with some hope attached to that search under this Native America ‘s label of a Full Buck moon.
In pondering this one, I can see how this lunar event might play out, because right ahead when Venus trades in her party hat for a lab coat. And that current opposition of Mars with Jupiter is a bit restrictive meaning that certain matters will take on a more definitive, if not legal, turn.
July 26 to August 2 nd The Sun newly into Leo and perfectly balanced with the nodes means no fooling around as in “I meant what I said!” Moving forward we’ll see what both Mars and Venus working hard in organized Virgo akin to Uranus will do. It probably be strong and serious but mostly ok. Here we might reach backwards into history to quote Julius, for whom this month was named, Veni Vidi Amavi or “happiness means something to do, someone to love, something to hope for.“
Hello August you’re next.
BETTER DAYS: 10, 11, 12, 13,
BIRTHDAYS OF NOTE:
The following birthdays are based on the very close degrees of the Sun, not on a large swath of dates for which I could never be specific. Normally a true birth time will provide an accurate rising sign and degree of the moon known as the three majors, and then we can begin to talk true astrology. The Sun is still very significant for it represents the soul’s manifestation in the outer world, health issues, and the house position gets even more specific.
