Awareness through Astrology

Cosmic Insights – July 26, 2021 July 25, 2021

By Veronica G. Hartman

The celestial week of July 26, 2021, begins with the Sun rising in majestic Leo, illuminating an opportunity to be proud of oneself for accomplishing the purpose of life, as a means to shine their individual light.  The Sun in Leo expresses its energy more powerfully in Leo than any other constellation with a natural ability to stand tall in the environment as it commands attention just by its presence.    As a symbolic metaphor for each individual during the next twenty-six days, there is an opportunity to shine your light without any judgment, just because you are alive!  Now consider the power that you will experience within yourself if you do that?  You will light up your world from within, and attract the quality of light that you are shining!  Leo’s energy is also charismatic, generous, warm, entertaining, and loving when it gets up on the right side of the bed.  Yet when it gets up on the wrong side, it can be arrogant, demanding,  emotionally unavailable, and cold.  Thus, the key is to adjust your attitude regularly as needed, or you receive back what you give out, good, bad, or indifferent.

Meanwhile, the Moon is moving through the unconscious emotional depths of Pisces and may seek to rid itself of uncomfortable memories or feelings by subconsciously giving them to others through the lens of projection.  While that may work at times, The Moon in Pisces is opposing Venus in Virgo who is not currently accepting the unsolicited feelings of others, so if you are looking for a shoulder to cry on, you will likely experience a feeling of rejection.  Not that Venus in Virgo is intent on hurting anyone’s feelings, it is just busy right now taking care of physical and mental health, financial resources, and the daily demands of work activities.  So don’t take it personally, just own it and let it go with forgiveness, so you can be at peace.

Shortly before the day ends on July 27, Mercury moves boldly into Leo with all of the pomp and circumstance it is known for, as it makes a dramatic announcement about creativity, romance, and one’s life purpose, and whether it is satisfied or dissatisfied with the current status quo.  The key is to utilize the feedback received from others as a mirror of where you are currently, and where you want to be.  Then go for it!  Otherwise, the only one holding you back is you!  There may also be a strong temptation to seek attention from others during the next three weeks, so speak from the heart and you will light up your life and the lives of others.  The other choice is to demand attention from others through communication, resulting in a potential unnecessary drama-trauma!

A quick change of pace occurs on July 28, as the Moon races impulsively into Aries only to discover that Mars the CEO of Aries has reached the last degree of Leo, so it is not in a hurry to pony up with the desires of the Moon.  Instead, Mars has already decided to take the rest of the day off, so a lot of emotional feelings can be invested in pursuing desires and opportunities without any actions to follow through.  Not easily dissuaded, the Moon has no problem with moving forward on its own.  However, the Moon in Aries does have the opportunity to gain the support of the Sun and Mercury in Leo to assist in obtaining its emotional desires!

Shortly after, Jupiter retrogrades back into intuitive Aquarius to reconsider the hopes, wishes, and dreams that were pursued this year, and what needs to be changed for the manifestation of them before the year ends.  Paying attention to intuitive ideas for insights pertaining to those changes will be the information needed to yield big dividends when Jupiter goes direct on October 17, 2021.

On July 29, Mars in Leo opposes Jupiter in Aquarius over boundary violations regarding creative interests, romance, and children, that may result in potential confrontations which can clear the air to move forward either together or separately.

Later in the afternoon, Mars moves into methodical Virgo with an active desire to pursue opportunities with a clear mental focus to clean out frivolous expenditures that don’t make the most of time, effort, or resources.  It is also a great time to clear out physical clutter, make needed repairs, and begin a physical health routine.

On July 30, the Moon moves slowly into calm and gentle Taurus, offering an emotional respite from the turmoil of the past couple of days, at least for the rest of the evening.  So take advantage of some emotional downtime to enjoy a savory meal, glass of wine, fading sunset, or just a quiet evening at home for a much-needed interlude of peace before the emotional storm clouds gather on July 31!

Cosmic Insights – July 19, 2021 July 18, 2021

By Veronica G. Hartman

The celestial week of July 19, 2021, begins with the Sun rising in nurturing Cancer, illuminating an opportunity to experience the awesome power of one’s emotional energy to create the desired reality of life, through a focused utilization of feelings to nurture a seed of intention with positive caring thoughts and actions.  

However, Cancer energy is also indicative of the home and family experiences of childhood, and whether you lived in a thriving environment or one of survival. Regardless,  to make the most of the current energy, it is important to nurture yourself with positive thoughts and feelings to build a foundation of caring and internal security for yourself, as emotional security lies within.

Fortunately, the Moon is continuing a journey back through childhood memories reflecting the need to learn from the emotional past, so that feelings of insecurity can be processed and released to experience a peaceful existence in life.

Shortly after the workday begins, challenges may come up with others as Mercury in Cancer and Chiron in Aries may challenge one another, or take information expressed through authorities personally, and react with a knee-jerk reflex regarding career directions or protocols.  

Later in the afternoon, the Moon ventures into optimistic Sagittarius as it flies over an ocean of unconscious emotions churning up turbulent waves of feelings about the need for emotional freedom.  Sagittarius energy is full of buoyant life and enthusiasm for the next adventure of life, so it may feel like cold water is being thrown on the freedom of new opportunities to take off for new horizons if travel plans are inhibited by public fears or concerns.  The key is to trust one’s gut feelings instead of buying into the projections of the media or the opinions of others, and go for it!

In the early evening hours of July 21, the Moon begins its monthly pilgrimage up the emotional mountain of Capricorn, with a business-like review of emotional feelings about personal desires and values.  The Moon’s initial planetary interaction is with Jupiter retrograde in Pisces, which bodes well through communication even though it may take longer than usual for plans to materialize.  

Shortly after, Venus heads into hard-working Virgo for a three-week review of financial goals and obligations.  Venus in Virgo is governed by Mercury who is currently residing in the comfort of home-loving Cancer, so financial investments and debts may be influenced by emotional feelings.  The good news is that the Moon in Capricorn and Venus in Virgo is up to the task at hand with down-to-earth, common-sense financial planning with logical reason grounded in practically and analysis.  So the next three weeks are a great time to get a financial check-up and your ducks in a row regarding financial security.

Just before the workday begins on July 22, Venus in Virgo opposes Jupiter in Pisces with a no-nonsense attitude adjustment about financial spending with significant others who may be oblivious to the current strategy about conserving financial resources instead of spending them without agreements.

Soon after, the Sun moves into charismatic Leo, who heard the conversation about reining in the spending but is tempted by the glitz and glamour of new shiny trinkets, so be prepared to be disarmed with charm or the fallout and drama trauma that is sure to follow!  The positive note of the Sun moving through Leo is that it shines the brightest on everything now, so step out of the shadow of the ego with a heartfelt connection of love and gratitude for the gift of life, and watch the Universe conspire with you to fulfill your dreams easily and effortlessly!  Leo embodies the gift of gold that we all have access to, yet it is up to each individual to qualify what gold means to them before they can find it at the end of the rainbow!  

On the evening of July 23, all emotional bets are off as the Moon bumps into erratic Aquarius, feeling the need for some personal emotional space away from anyone that needs their attention.   Shortly after, the full moon occurs as the Sun in Leo opposes the Moon in Aquarius, illuminating and reinforcing the emotional cooperation needed to establish the harmony of relating.  It might even be a great idea to spend the evening with friends instead of significant others for an emotional breath of fresh air!

Cosmic Insights – July 12, 2021 July 11, 2021

The celestial week of July 12, 2021, begins with the Sun rising in caring and ambitious Cancer, illuminating an opportunity to utilize the power of emotional feelings to take center stage in situations with emotional control and good timing.  The ruler of Cancer is currently positioned in commanding Leo reflecting the value of relating to others through genuine love as it unites with Venus and then Mars in Leo.  

Thus, there may be an influx of dramatic declarations of love sealed with an unexpected proposal of commitment.  The caveat is that while romance is in the air, it may also be somewhat blinding one to the responsibility of a long-term commitment, as unpredictable and freedom-loving Uranus is moving through earthly Taurus and is resistant to making sudden commitments.   Saturn, the daily ruler of Uranus is still retrograde in Aquarius and is also shying away from making commitments until early October.

However, Mercury has just waded into the emotional pond of Cancer, so feelings may outweigh logic now especially if family members or matters are weighing in.  The key is to remember that fools often rush in where angels fear to tread, so now is a good time to slow down and carefully consider the consequences before making rash decisions.  For those who dare to take the plunge, the expense of the wedding alone may serve as a step backward instead of forward, as Leo energy does everything in grand style!

In the early hours of July 13, the Moon moves into practical Virgo bringing the emotional drama trauma to a screeching halt with clear logical thinking and reason.  Now the emotional focus becomes centered on gathering information related to future plans for home and family.  The consensus is that the money spent on an extravagant wedding could be better used as a down payment on a house.  While that line of thinking is more practical, it will likely be met with disappointment, like an unexpected thunderstorm clouding a sunny beautiful summer day!

While it seems like everyone is on board with the new plans over breakfast, there are other hidden agendas as Venus and Mars have united in Leo and are agreeable until they have time to develop a new strategy to override the changes.  Another consideration to utilize the energy is to create a new enterprise related to the purpose of one’s life.
The lunar energy softens on July 15 when the Moon dances across the sky into relationship-oriented Libra.  However, while the Moon in Libra is charming it is also the iron hand in the velvet glove, so there is a tendency to be taken in without realizing that an agenda may be attached to that smile and dancing eyes! Venus the ruler of Libra is also moving through powerful Leo and is determined to get its way, so the charm may be meant to disarm objectives instead of an attraction factor!  Even though the Moon in Libra currently has the support of Venus and Mars in Leo and Saturn in Aquarius, it has its work cut out during the next couple of days with the rest of the planets dealing with attitude adjustments and emotional and authoritative challenges.

Shortly after, Chiron in Aries begins to retrograde back through Aries, so old wounds of abandonment, rejection, or shame may resurface to be resolved and healed.  While the first knee-jerk reaction may be internal anger or projection of issues onto others, the key is to take positive actions to reaffirm the power of loving oneself, and rejecting the possibility of self-abandonment.

On the afternoon of July 17, the Moon slips into the subconscious depths of Scorpio stirring up a cauldron of repressed and/or brooding feelings which have the power to destroy or transform the emotional quality of life.  The key is to allow the feelings to surface, process what needs to be learned from them, and then release them through forgiveness.  Later in the afternoon, the Sun in Cancer opposes Pluto in Capricorn and will illuminate whether you are in the process of subconsciously destroying your life or transforming it to a higher vibration.

Cosmic Insights – July 5, 2021 July 5, 2021

By Veronica G. Hartman

The celestial week of July 5, 2021, begins with the Sun rising in emotionally instinctive Cancer, illuminating an opportunity to have the courage of a lion to trust that faith is a guiding light now and that one’s inner wisdom is in touch with a higher power. 

Sirius, a fixed star in the constellation of Canis Major sits at the same degree as the Sun today and is magnifying the brightness and power of the Sun.  In ancient Egypt, Sirius was revered as The Shining One as it was linked to the annual life-giving rising of the Nile river, assuring that the field of grains would produce an ample food supply for the inhabitants.  In that sense, Sirius was considered to be immortal and a spiritual star of truly immense power with the magic to harness hidden forces to create and recreate something new.  As the Sun and Sirius are both in Cancer, the key is to utilize the power of emotions as energy to nurture the purpose of life, as surely as water nurtures the earth to provide a life-giving reality.

Meanwhile, the Moon and the ruler of Cancer are moving through steady Taurus reflecting an opportunity to experience great talent, wealth, and rewards through solid values, and the awareness of the strength and stability in current surroundings with an attitude of gratitude.

While that may seem like wishing on a star, as Venus in Leo is currently engaged in what appears to be challenging and confrontational dynamics with Saturn retrograde in Aquarius, and Uranus in Taurus isn’t it really the perception of challenges and confrontations that is driving the dynamics?  Then perhaps, the key to unlocking the opportunity to experience a positive reality is to utilize the power of the lion to embrace the value of life with gratitude for the blessings that are already present in life, as well as the faith that those blessings are never-ending. 

Another important consideration now is that the ongoing Saturn retrograde movement through Aquarius, presupposing a challenge with Uranus in Taurus is really an opportunity to take a responsible action to learn from the past and then apply those teachings to the future.  The key is to pay attention to the intuitive perceptions as a barometer for future actions leading to a sense of at-one-ment with all life; leading to understanding the direction and guidance needed for the future.

Later in the evening, the Moon breezes into mental Gemini with an emotional message that it’s time to move forward on plans, short trips, and projects that have been on hold for the last several weeks.  The caveat is that Mercury the daily ruler of Gemini has not quite cleared the last hurdle of the retrograde cycle or its challenges with Neptune in Pisces. A current personal experience with purchasing a used car has demonstrated that quite clearly as hidden information was revealed by Neptune retrograde in Pisces that the arrangement was actually a scam!  Thus, waiting until Mercury begins to move past the challenge with Neptune on July 6, before signing on the dotted line would be advisable.  Then on July 7, Mercury clears the shadow of its cycle with a go-ahead!

On the morning of July 8, the Moon wades into the emotional pond of sensitive Cancer stirring up feelings about childhood memories that continue to float up through the day from dreams experienced during the pre-dawn hours.  Huge chunks of insightful feelings come forward as the emotional pieces of the past fall into place, opening a door of healing through understanding, acceptance, and forgiveness. 

Later in the afternoon, Venus in Leo and Uranus in Taurus go head to head with differences about relationships and resources.  While Venus in Leo is very charming and adept at getting agendas met, Uranus in Taurus is not easily swayed by a charming demeanor if there is no solid evidence of the value involved in the exchange.  That is not to say, that it doesn’t appreciate the effort exerted during the challenge, it just isn’t going to relinquish resources for the privilege.

On July 9, a new moon cycle occurs in Cancer shortly after sunset, offering an opportunity to renew a sacred commitment to the emotional quality of one’s life regarding internal security and the comfort of home and family.  Cancer energy is adept at nurturing with a demonstration of nourishment and caring, by sharing the preparation of home-cooked meals with others while investing quality time in listening to their concerns, goals, and aspirations.  So, now is a great time to cement those bonds with family reunions, leisurely meals around the grill, or just an old-fashioned but still in style, Sunday dinner!
