As this week rolls along, the quieter period of astrological weather of the past 2+ weeks will wear off.
Tuesday, is when Ceres stations retrograde exactly on the 0* Aries/Equinox Point - I've blogged about Ceres and this stationing for the past 2 weeks, and as I suspected, Congress and the President have been unable to come up with a budget/debt ceiling deal. We have also witnessed the Rupert Murdoch Empire showing serious signs of disintegrating, a terrorist in Norway slaugther over 90 people, many of them teenage children, and another entertainment diva unable to handle the addiction and fame and take an early exit from this existence. 0* Aries is a time of new beginnings - a time when we are compelled to seek balance. Ceres is unconditional love, the caring for all through the meeting of their needs for resources, motherly love toward children, the assurance that life is part of a cycle with death and rebirth, issues of attachment/seperation/loss, agriculture work & food. These are the places where we need to make a new beginning to find a new balance. With Ceres retrograding right back into Pisces for rest of year, it will give us time to reflect on how to do so. All of the issues above can be tied into this archetype and have lessons for all involved and the Collective itself.
Wednesday the energies start to pick up with the Sun trining Uranus giving us the jolt of inspiration to use our own gifts to make some progressive changes in our lives. Magnetic energies will lock in together and break the ice and extend the cutting edge in their lives. You will likely have some unexpected event or meeting rock your world in exciting ways. However, it will require a letting go of certain issues/pain/loss/grief/wounds from the past, as the Sun is quincunx Chiron also. The reality is this is a day you can make some major breakthroughs in adaptation to current circumstances if you make the right moves, and the energy is favorable to do so.
Thursday is the most active day astrologically this week with 2 planets changing signs and a few aspects worth mentioning. Venus ingresses into Leo in the morning bringing out our more flamboyant, playful sides in relationships. Romance and/or involvement with children is at a high point during these next few weeks. Be aware that vanity and voyeaurism are expressions of this energy too, yet still it is a great time to make yourself attractive to whomever you wish to impress for whatever reason. Mercury ingresses into its sign of rulership and exaltation, Virgo, later in morning, however it is also stationing at 1* Virgo before going retrograde next Tuesday (more on this next week) and going right back into Leo. Mercury also is opposite Neptune this day, and this can make thinking and communicating very nebulous, unclear, deceiving, naive, etc. You may be forced to make some decision but information is being hidden, kept secret, or outright dishonest from you. This is good energy for writing or getting inspired/idealistic ideas together, but the actual work of getting it down may remain out of reach. Be aware too this is an aspect when people like to talk about each other to others in embellished ways, both negative and positive. Venus quincinx Neptune just adds to this energy with twists of pie-in-the-sky romanticism that may have little basis in reality. However, Venus sextile to Juno and trine to Ceres show our existing relationships will be in good form this day. To top all of this off, the Sun quincunx Pluto also on this day, indicating that inside many of us, the continuing crisis of a need to transform our lives is a nagging necessity at this point, as we continue to need to adjust to resource issues and self-disempowerment.
Saturday is a New Moon at 7* Leo conjunct Venus, trine Uranus, square Jupiter, and quincunx Pluto. Leo is about our self-creativity and this New Moon should give it a new spark. Look to see what house 7* Leo falls in in your chart to see what area of life needs a fresh dose of self-creativity to stimulate it and get it out of a rut. The conjunction with Venus reminds us to include others and to be loving/heart-centered, while Jupiter gives us room to expand that part of us, and Uranus gives us the spark to act. Deep changes may allow us to break free of the past and get more in touch with our spiritual side. This is a time to let your light and talents shine, to not hold back in doubt. To remember, the Grail serves you.
Sunday's trine of Venus to Uranus continues the New Moon's and Sun/Uranus trine's energy. You may find yourself involved with some new group, person, circumstance that is beyond your normal familiarity zone, and quite uplifting/exhilirating.
Get Ready for Mercury retrograde for most of August next week.
