Cosmic Insights – July 3, 2023 July 2, 2023

By Veronica G. Hartman

The celestial week of July 3, 2023, begins with the Sun rising in comforting emotional Cancer, illuminating an opportunity to rise above the illusion of separation from a Higher Power that is within. As Dane Rudhyar stated about the twelfth degree of Cancer, “The promise to all men that God may take birth within their souls.” (1)

Meanwhile, the ruler of Cancer is the Moon and is traveling through fatherly Capricorn symbolizing an opportunity to go after life’s goals through Saturn in spiritually artistic Pisces. Since Saturn is currently retrograde in Pisces, Jupiter the daily ruler of Pisces takes over in values-conscious Taurus with compassionate understanding and caring towards oneself and others providing the courage to master one’s powerful energies to expand and manifest hopes, wishes, and dreams that will stand the test of time and financial success.

Whereas, Neptune the transcendental CEO of Pisces has also just gone retrograde in Pisces, so it remains in the background with unconscious emotions rising up as an illumination of what is usually obscure for attention. The caveat with Neptune retrograde is that clarity is easier to perceive than when it is direct, so until December 2023, what has been unconsciously hidden will likely be consciously revealed.

Adding to the heighted illumination is a full lunar phase that occurs shortly after sunrise as the Moon in Capricorn opposes the Sun in Cancer. Thus, the traditional mother/father roles are reversed as the Moon in Capricorn is focused on responsible career goals while the Sun in Cancer is emotionally concerned with home and family matters. Yet, the energetic shift of the full moon is also an opportunity to balance the scales of relating as roles and responsibilities are unconsciously swapped, as masculine energy prepares to man the grill, while feminine energy pays the bills!

Shortly after noon on July 4th, the Moon zooms into eclectic and unpredictable Aquarius on a wing and a prayer to demonstrate an electrifying sparkly show of patriotic prideful celebrations!

This particular holiday celebration may be highly significant as to the turn of coming events in 2023-2024 for the United States relative to the principles of freedom that the country was founded on, as a solar return for the USA occurs later in the evening with a reminder that freedom and liberty are worth standing up and fighting for.

On July 6 during the noontime hour, the emotional energy settles down as the Moon begins to drift behind the scenes to join Saturn and Neptune in imaginative, dreamy Pisces. Just when it seemed like the work routines would start to normalize, the focus of energy seems to evaporate into thin air in anticipation of the upcoming weekend!

However, Jupiter the daily ruler of Pisces is positioned in steadfast Taurus and is firmly focused on financial matters, which is likely a good investment of time and energy as Venus the CEO of Taurus is moving through the shadow of an upcoming retrograde cycle in Leo on July 22.

As Venus governs financial resources as well as relating, it is wise to heed the conservative advice of Jupiter in Taurus now and refrain from making purchases that may have to be returned, or less than the advertised value. Just because it is shiny, does not mean that it is gold!

All in all, this workweek may not be as productive as it could be, which often happens when a holiday happens during the week, as the momentum required to accomplish routine tasks falls short of expectations.
