The celestial week of September 4, 2023, begins with the Sun rising in dutiful and earthy Virgo illuminating an opportunity to lay the ground rules as secret motives are revealed regarding romantic relationships and resources. Mercury, the CEO of Virgo is also retrograde in Virgo with a message to face baser instincts with a childlike curiosity that can bring a fresh new approach to life.

Whereas, Venus in Leo which is ruled by the Sun, has just begun to move forward with the proud dignity and grace of a lion while it observes others from a distance relative to hopes, wishes, and dreams about relationships, romance, creativity, children, and resources with a redefined values about the quality of life desired.

Meanwhile, the Moon is positioned in a steady, dependable Taurus with an emotional longing for things, others, or a quality of life that currently feels out of reach. However, the Moon is favorably aligned with the Sun and Mercury in Virgo, as well as Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, so the key is to shift the focus from what appears to be unobtainable in the mind to what is desired until the feelings of having the desires are aligned with the thought and behaviors of having them fulfilled. As in fake it, until you make it, or acting as if the desires are already fulfilled until they are.

The only caveat is that Jupiter is going retrograde in Taurus just as the day begins. Thus, it is also imperative to shift a belief system that is congruent with desires, feelings, thoughts, and actions so that quality of life experiences come into alignment before the manifestation of them.

Jupiter will continue its backward journey through Taurus until December 30, 2023, so there is ample time to review, reflect, release, and reform beliefs that no longer serve the values and quality of life desired.

On the afternoon of September 5, the Moon skips into curious Gemini as the mentally emotional wheels start spinning with the messages and information being received from an unknown direction as they are not communicated verbally. Mercury, the director of Gemini is retrograde in Virgo and may not be consciously aware of what is unknowingly being broadcasted.

Thus, the next couple of days could be emotionally and mentally confusing as communication may be convoluted when expressed. The key is to become consciously aware of emotional self-talk and only communicate what is felt with specific clarity. Leave no room for doubt, otherwise, others may fill in the blanks with what they thought was communicated!

There is light at the end of the communication tunnel on the morning of September 6, as the Sun and Mercury unite in methodical Virgo with an opportunity and need to call upon the inherent knowledge within for the answers, details, and solutions required to move forward on September 15, when Mercury goes direct.

This is also the point in the Mercury retrograde cycle when stalled traffic, plans, and projects begin to move forward, seemingly inch by inch. However, to speed up the progress, mentally accelerate the progress with the awareness that there may be revisions to the final manifestation because all of the required information is currently unavailable from regular or reliable channels.

One minute after midnight on September 8, the Moon slips into emotionally sensitive Cancer under the cover of darkness, so dreams may provide information relevant to emotional concerns about home and family.

As the Moon in Cancer currently engages favorably with all of the planets except Mars in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn over the next couple of days, a safe emotional space is available to share feelings that are relevant to healing emotional issues regarding home, childhood, and family.

The only caveat is that challenges may occur with others and/or parents as the Moon in Cancer is challenged by Mars in Libra to take action about the issues, instead of first listening patiently to what feels like unburdening the soul. The irony is that sharing past or present emotional concerns is an action in itself, which may not require further action.

To finish out the Moon’s visit through Cancer over the weekend, it will oppose Pluto in Capricorn with an illumination of what is required to restore emotional power with the authority of a seasoned CEO with the ability to take responsibility for personal self-healing, instead of projecting it onto others as an expectation.

The celestial week of August 28, 2023, begins with the Sun rising in industrious mentally adept Virgo with a keen awareness to balance the mentally active thinking mind with the power of imagination and/or visualization to experience an opportunity of the oneness of Consciousness as a clear path of knowledge and understanding.

Mercury is the CEO of Virgo and the fleet-footed planetary messenger is also moving back through the degrees of Virgo that have already been traveled to reinforce the power of working or utilizing unconscious emotional information and conscious mental information in a Spirit of unity to balance the scales of consciousness available within, which can create a greater quality of life conditions externally.

Mercury in Virgo is also currently aligned with Uranus in Taurus, and the Moon and Pluto in Capricorn with a grand opportunity to take advantage of unexpected changes to transform emotional energy with the power of Pluto and the Moon in Capricorn that can lead to evolutionary enlightenment.

The key is to pay attention to the value of what is often taken for granted in the environment with gratitude and appreciation for the information embodied in the value.

Meanwhile, the Moon in Capricorn is finishing up a powerful meeting with Pluto in Capricorn with an emotional commitment to nurture the process of transformation of unconsciously giving power to perceived external authoritative illusions of the power of others or circumstances to control the nature and experiences of personal reality.

Shortly after the meeting, the Moon in Capricorn goes void-of-course until mid-morning (meaning it is done engaging with other planets until it moves into the next astrological sign. Thus, it is taking a break until it boards an emotionless 747 in Aquarius for a couple of days as an observer with emotional detachment from the expectations of others to fulfill the tasks and responsibilities of Saturn while it is retrograde in Pisces.

Yet, the Moon in Aquarius intuitively knows that a few days of downtime will offer a fresh perspective and intuitive insights to resolve potential issues of relating on the horizon as Mars has just driven into negotiating Libra with cooperative ideas, solutions, and agendas.

The caveat is that the Moon in Aquarius observes everything on the table with emotionally detached insights that fill in details about resources and commitments that have been currently overlooked or undisclosed. Another caveat is that Mars in Libra can be passive-aggressive while navigating boundaries which could lead to an uncomfortable position when the Moon in Aquarius responds with a, “whatever . . . take it or leave it,” attitude of detachment.

The energy of the lunar landscape shifts on the morning of August 30, as the Moon drifts off into dreamy, imaginative Pisces as it continues to wobble off course in the gibbous lunar phase of the ongoing Virgo new moon cycle. Yet, it is also a perfect time to realign the vision of the intentions of the cycle with a redefined version before the full moon phase occurs later in the evening as a blue moon.

A blue moon cycle is a second full moon in the same month and only occurs roughly every two and a half years. Thus, there is a suggestion that something rare or unlikely may happen as an event of conscious/unconscious oneness. Therefore, the key is to pay conscious attention to unconscious feelings about decisions and/or the direction to follow regarding the manifestation of hopes, wishes, and dreams! As the movie, Field of Dreams suggested, if you build it they will come!

On the morning of September 1, the Moon shifts gear into fast-paced Aries and may impulsively throw caution to the winds of change regarding relationships and resources, as its first planetary encounter is a face-off with Mars in Libra!

Thus, a proactive measure of protection may be a series of emotional warnings as the Moon in Aries may be very abrupt with others if they feel that their personal space is being trespassed. So, forewarned is forearmed to pay attention to impatient attitudes from others or oneself as a message that some personal me-time is needed for all concerned, instead of attempting to push the envelope with a charming demeanor and covert agendas, or the attention received may not be the quality desired!

The celestial week of August 21, 2023, begins with the Sun rising in dignified Leo, illuminating an opportunity for transformation and a new way of being as a master of creating personal reality. The caveat is that the Sun is involved in two yod configurations with a fated quality related to attitude adjustments and variable choices to achieve that transformation.

In the first yod (a configuration of three planets in a powerful energetic dynamic) the Sun is engaged in a favorable interaction with the Moon in Libra, suggesting an opportunity to balance emotional energy and values with an open heart as the ego takes a step back from controlling resources and relationships through emotional agendas and illusions of grandeur. The other attitude adjustment required to achieve that emotional balance and which illuminates the purpose of one’s identity lies in the recognition of unconscious values of unworthiness to reap the harvest of the hard work that had been done to dissolve the illusion of separation from the Spirit within is symbolized by Neptune retrograde in Pisces.

A similar dynamic is occurring with the second yod between the Sun in Leo and Neptune retrograde in Pisces along with Pluto retrograde in Capricorn which is suggestive of an opportunity to dissolve the illusion of separation from the Spirit within to experience the power of transformation as a CEO of personal reality. Whereas, the attitude adjustment required is for the Sun in Leo to humbly set the ego aside to acknowledge that the Power within is flowing through oneself, and is not the power of oneself.

Meanwhile, the Moon in Libra is also engaged in a yod formation with Uranus in Taurus and Neptune retrograde in Pisces to balance one’s emotions relative to unpredictable changes regarding resources and relationships so that relationship issues can be resolved in light of dissolving fairy tale fantasies about how it should be, instead of how it is.

As a result, an opportunity to realign emotional values of freedom in relationships can be redefined to support the chaotic upheavals being currently experienced. The key is to refrain from taking an emotional position to validate individual perspectives that may lead to a struggle for power, instead of win/win solutions.

Later in the evening, the emotional energy shifts from negotiating in a position of fairness and a willingness to communicate, to a desire for emotional space to contemplate what has been shared before taking any action, as the Moon moves into the depths of mysterious Scorpio.

The caveat is that the Moon in Scorpio becomes an emotional detective with a scrutinizing radar seeking clues to determine if there is anything hidden in the proposed solutions. As such, the Moon in Scorpio enlists Mars and Mercury in Virgo, as well as Pluto retrograde in Capricorn to take covert actions to uncover any secret details to confirm or deny what is suspected.

On the morning of August 22, Venus retrograde in Leo may awaken in a grumpy mood, preferring to stay in bed and eat breakfast, instead of having to get up and prepare it. Regardless of the charming demeanor of Venus in Leo, Jupiter in Taurus is having none of it. If Jupiter has to get up and go to work, then so does Venus! However, both can be equally stubborn and determined to rule the turn of events, so challenges on the horizon suggest that each one go their separate ways until an agreement about relationship values can be discussed and agreed upon.

Otherwise, later as the afternoon unfolds, potential challenges in the morning may become accompanied by confrontations as Mars in Virgo opposes Neptune retrograde in Pisces. While Mars in Virgo is ready to move forward with precise actions, Neptune in Pisces is not ready to do so, as an unconscious feeling is present that there is something not quite right. The key is to pay attention to the feeling, as there not be enough information available to move forward.

In the early hours of August 23, the Sun moves quickly into methodical Virgo armed with facts, figures, a nonsensical attitude, and a plan of action to clean up what has been missed while Saturn has been retrograde and is still missing in action.

Fortunately, the Sun has the support of Mercury and Mars in Virgo, Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, as well as the Moon in Scorpio and Pluto retrograde in Capricorn on board to support the plans with a detailed analysis of recommendations to cut costs and marginalize profits with an alignment of information, values, actions, encouragement, transformational power and emotional congruency.

The only caveat is that Mercury goes retrograde in Virgo later in the afternoon, so all of the necessary information may not be readily available through regular channels until September 15, when Mercury goes direct. Thus, the key is to listen to intuitive insights for directions and information relative to financial resources, health, work routines, travel, vehicles, computers, and communication.

The energy of the lunar landscape shifts significantly in the early hours of August 24, as the Moon takes a huge optimistic leap into Sagittarius before it takes another leap of faith before the Sun comes up in Virgo when the first-quarter lunar phase occurs. While the first quarter lunar phase always feels a bit risky, this one is even more so as the energy of the Moon in Sagittarius is energetically and emotionally expansive in sharp contrast to the energy of the Sun in Virgo’s position of taking no unnecessary risks. With Mercury retrograde in Virgo, it is wise to temper the emotional enthusiasm of the Moon in Sagittarius with the logical and practical rationale of the Sun in Virgo.

The celestial week of August 14, 2023, begins with the Sun rising in supremely confident Leo as it strides across the sky in all of its grandeur, illuminating an opportunity to create lines of communication with good tidings and positive messages.

While the Sun in Leo graces the sky with the dignity of a king in command of its royal subjects, it does interact with Neptune retrograde in Pisces and Pluto retrograde in Capricorn, who are both adept at holding the king accountable for the decisions that go along with the authority and power of a leader. During the ongoing process of accountability, there is a yod forming between the Sun, Neptune, and Pluto which has a quality of fated destiny about it that requires attitude adjustments from the Sun to justify a position of power executed and whether it was in good faith for the highest good or a personal purpose of gain and power.

Whereas, Venus has just exchanged politically correct values with the Sun in Leo as it continues to retrograde through the rays of the Sun with a chance to restore the nature of Spirit through ceremony, rituals, and worship.

On another note, the union of Venus and the Sun on August 13, symbolized a valuable turning point in the Venus retrograde cycle. While Venus does not begin to move forward in the retrograde cycle until September 3, it does shine a proverbial light at the end of the tunnel relative to creativity, purpose, values, relating, and resources. Thus, while caution is still a safe bet about moving too quickly when making valuable decisions, it is beginning to be a bit brighter about the direction to move forward in.

Meanwhile, the Moon has also just danced onto the emotional stage of Leo and may have some difficulty in containing emotional reactions to what is being revealed behind the scenes about resources and relationships, which could precipitate an emotional drama trauma!

However, the advantage of the Moon’s position in Leo is that it is in a balsamic lunar phase with the Sun in Leo offering a window of emotional balm to let go of the intentions seeded at the recent new moon in Cancer on July 17, 2023. It is also a short window in the cycle to release habits, emotions, and others to relieve the emotional tension of the cycle in preparation for the new moon cycle in Leo on August 16.

However, a first-quarter square or a ninety-degree angle between the Sun in Leo and Uranus in Taurus on the evening of August 15, may test stress levels as the Sun in Leo could feel misunderstood relative to creativity, children, or romance as it challenges Uranus in Taurus to take a risk relative to financial resources or relationships that have become stagnant regarding a difference of values.

In the early hours of August 16, a new moon cycle in Leo occurs on the heels of the Sun/Uranus tension-filled challenges that may have been responsible for a restless night or lack of sleep may carry over into the new cycle of energy. Yet, Venus retrograde in Leo is the ruler of Uranus in Taurus so the Sun will likely have the advantage point in this match and the cycle itself. The key is to create intentions that have built-in flexible attitudes that are open to them changing before the new moon cycle ends.

Another point of consideration is all the yod formation between the Sun, Neptune, and Pluto continues to become exact and therefore more potent, an attitude adjustment relative to recognizing that the true source of power exists when the ego takes a big step back in gratitude for the gift to experience the creative power of the Master Creator. As Proverbs 16:18 cautions, “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” (1)

The lunar climate shifts subtly on the evening of August 16, as the Moon rides into practical Virgo on a bicycle in an effort to conserve resources and a healthy appreciation for climate concerns.

As Virgo energy is precisely aware of the value of time as well as financial resources, emotional and mental energy is also being used to seek solutions relative to the action needed to preserve a healthy work atmosphere during the trip. There is also the matter of being responsible for executing routine tasks assigned by the CEO who is currently on a leave of absence.

Fortunately, the Moon in Virgo has planetary support from Mercury in Virgo for practical ideas, Mars in Virgo for a plan of action, encouragement from Jupiter in Taurus, intuitive insights from Uranus in Taurus about sound financial values, and the right use of power from Pluto in Capricorn. In fact, with such a supportive team in place, Saturn in Pisces the current CEO may find that it has been replaced when it returns!

However, the caveat is that Mercury in Virgo went into the shadow on August 3, of an upcoming retrograde cycle on August 23, suggesting that the “best-laid plans of mice and men, often go awry!” (2)

(1) Proverbs 16:19

(2) Burns, R. & Bohne, “To A Mouse” P. (1974).

The celestial week of August 7, 2023, begins with the Sun rising up through the creative and glorious rays of Leo, illuminating an opportunity to experience joy and happiness with an energetic anticipation to celebrate with others in a festive atmosphere!

In part, it may be due to the arrival of the gibbous solar phase shortly after lunch, as the first harvest of the solar year intentions occur when the Sun reaches fifteen degrees. If the first harvest does not bear the desired fruit of those choices, there is an opportunity during the next forty-five days to realign and adjust the intentions for the next harvest period on December 21, 2023.

The key is to retain the focus on the manifestation of those intentions and revise as needed so that the true purpose of choosing intentions is to know how to create and manifest personal reality as a CEO of life!

The caveat is that a series of challenges occur over the next couple of days that can test the resolve and patience of a saint to stay on course! The first one is a recent planetary challenge between the Sun’s position in Leo as the king of the sky with Jupiter in earthly Taurus in a first-quarter square, indicating that the desires of heaven and earth may be at cross purposes now relative to a leap of faith about investing financial resources regarding the manifestation of the solar intentions for the remaining cycle. The key is to avoid an all-or-nothing position as digging one’s heels in over who is right or wrong will only accomplish a dug-in stalemate.

Meanwhile, the Moon is moving through emotionally stable Taurus with a feeling to gradually enlarge one’s vision relative to huge opportunities which have the potential to yield a huge financial return.

However, Taurus energy is governed by Venus which is currently retrograde in Leo, the astrological symbolization of gold. Thus, the emotional state of hesitation to invest financial resources in what could be a gold mine is worthy of consideration. Whereas, the common sense approach would be to determine if the potential opportunity is one of value that will stand the test of time and marketability.

Therefore, a reliable utilization of the Moon in Taurus energy is to proceed slowly without throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Instead, invest the time and emotional energy to research the validity of the value of the opportunity, the amount of resources required to invest, and an ironclad guarantee of a return yield of the investment with interest. Another important consideration now is that business partnerships may not be a good idea to pursue with Venus retrograde in Leo, and the Moon, Jupiter, and Uranus in cautious, slow-moving Taurus. It’s not that others are unreliable or unsavory, it is just the nature of the current changing nature of the energy.

Before the Sun rises on August 8, a third-quarter lunar phase occurs as the second challenging energy occurs when the Moon in Taurus engages with the Sun in Leo to take responsible actions to manifest the outcomes of the current new moon cycle in Cancer that began on July 17, 2023. However, the inherent challenge of Taurus and Leo’s energy is that both can become firmly entrenched in their respective perceptions of the necessary actions to move forward, leaving no room for compromise or negotiations to proceed.

Thus, to manifest the outcomes of the intentions of the current lunar cycle, it is vital to come to a mutual consensus about the common values of creative actions and whether they will ultimately produce steady and reliable financial results.

Lastly, another challenge occurs as the Sun rises on August 9, as Venus retrograde in Leo and Uranus in Taurus also engage in a planetary dynamic as Venus in Leo assumes a position of courage, power, and mastery to stand its ground relative to concerns about potential unpredictable financial changes on the horizon.

Similar to the energy of the third-quarter lunar phase, a determined position from Venus retrograde in Leo and Uranus in Taurus can precipitate a conflict of interest about the goals of the Venus/Uranus cycle beginning on March 20, 2023, relative to values, relating, purpose, and resources, where neither one backs down without a meet in the middle compromise.

Fortunately, shortly after the conflicts arise with breakfast, the Moon skips into conscious communicative Gemini to seek realistic guidance from Mercury in Virgo about reasonable and workable solutions. The caveat is that Mercury in Virgo is very conscientious about practical solutions regarding finances, so Uranus in Taurus may win this round!

However, make no mistake Venus in Leo has not given up, it has simply retreated to bide its time for the opportunity to charm whoever is standing in the way to move out of the way!

As August 9th appears to be challenging with conflicts throughout the day, it might be a great day to take some time off from work routines and/or working out issues with others.

As the traditional workweek ends on August 11, the Moon wades into the emotional pond of sensitive Cancer to either rinse off the emotional stress of the week or wear it as a cloak of vulnerability during the next couple of days. Yet, the power of the Moon in Cancer is to listen to what is needed to nurture the emotional quality of life or indulge in negative emotions as a badge of honor to survive them.

In the early hours of August 12, the Moon in Cancer enters into the balsamic lunar phase with the Sun in Leo with an opportunity to let go of emotional habits, emotional weight, and/or others that promote emotional distress instead of health.

As the Cancer new moon cycle is wrapping up, the experiences of this emotional cycle and the choices made to respond or react to the experiences are a preview of whether you have learned to master your emotions and therefore your personal reality, or whether they master you.

Cosmic Insights – July 31, 2023

By Veronica G. Hartman

The celestial week of July 21, 2023, begins with the Sun rising in regal Leo illuminating an opportunity to breathe life into creation with the power of joy and self-expression which has the power to unconsciously imprint the collective consciousness of humanity.

Meanwhile, the Moon is scaling a mountain of emotions in earthy Capricorn relative to health, daily routines, and career goals. The Moon is aided by Saturn the CEO of Capricorn as it retrogrades in watery Pisces to project the right image to obtain success with business partners and investors.

Whereas, Jupiter the daily ruler of Pisces is in Taurus and lends supportive encouragement to become self-sufficient with a sense of at-one-ment with all forms of life with redefined values, courtesy of Venus retrograde in Leo.

Fortunately, the Moon’s interactions with Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn add to the opportunities for a very productive day relative to finances, career, and emotional stability.

Just before the day ends, the Moon flashes into lightning-quick and unpredictable Aquarius on an eerily quiet note as Saturn the daily ruler of Aquarius is moving backward through the unconscious depths of Pisces.

However, make no mistake, it is merely the quiet before the emotionally chaotic storm brewing within makes landfall! The caveat is that Aquarius energy is similar to lightning flashing across the sky, you never know when or where it will occur and the power it has to destroy whatever is in its path without blinking an eye of its emotionally detached “whatever” nature!

Whereas, Uranus the transcendental CEO of Aquarius is positioned in steadfast, determined Taurus to assist with picking up the pieces after the storm blows through, with a gentle intuitive insight to look within for the value of experiences, to glean the hidden gold within.

As the Moon’s first planetary encounter is with Mercury in Virgo, the Moon may have a tendency to get on the nerve of Mercury’s job to ascertain accountability of emotional outbursts that are deemed unnecessary and interfere with necessary routines related to work the next day, like sleep!

As the Moon continues to travel through Aquarius on August 1, it is wise to buckle up after lunch for a bumpy ride of attitude adjustments as the full lunar phase occurs with the Sun in fearless Leo. Afterward, challenges follow regarding relationships and financial resources during the next couple of days as fall out from the full moon illumination.

The key to moving through this emotional rollercoaster of energy without going off the tracks is to utilize the art of negotiation, compromise, and clear communication about priorities without sweating the small stuff or creating an unnecessary emotional drama-trauma!

By the end of the day, Mercury in Virgo can help stabilize the aftershocks of the full moon with simple but well-thought-out solutions and strategies as it opposes Saturn retrograde in Pisces. As Saturn is retrograde in Pisces, there is more than likely minimal pushback. In fact, Saturn is probably secretly delighted that someone else is taking care of business for now, as it takes a much-needed and deserved vacation!

On the evening of August 2, the Moon slips into the unfathomable depths of unconscious Pisces as it retreats from the recent emotional turbulence of the past couple of days for some well-deserved relief! So, now is a great time to indulge in some temporary, healthy escapism with soothing music, meditation, water activities, and/or alternative healing modalities of Reiki, massage, and hypnosis to rejuvenate body, soul, and spirit from the physical, mental, and emotional stress of the oppressive heat that has taken its toll.

The workweek ends on August 4, as the Moon drives into fiery Aries with a need for speed and activity! The caveat is that Mars the supervisor in charge of Aries is moving through mentally hardworking Virgo, and has already made a list of tasks and errands for the weekend, so forewarned is forearmed, so plan ahead to make it a get-away weekend instead!

The celestial week of July 24, 2023, begins with the Sun rising in majestic Leo to assume its rightful throne in the sky, illuminating an opportunity to creatively start something with joy and love or with fear and worry that can affect many others in a metaphorical epidemic.

However, the caveat is that whatever energy is sent out always returns to the sender, so a demonstration of ruling oneself with love, courage, and dignity will reap the rewards from and through others, grandstanding with the pride of the ego may lead to a personal downfall. It is the distinct difference between a charismatic leader with the ability to conquer the world with grace so the world bows at its feet, or having it crumble around you with the arrogance of ruling the world for the sake of ruling it, without caring for the world that gave the power to do so.

An esteemed friend Tre Gray, shared his best analogy for the Sun in Leo as relative to the relationship of Mufassa and Scar in the movie, the Lion King, which sums up the difference between the generous, courageous, and regal nature of the Sun in Leo, or the deadly hunter who covertly stalks its prey without regard for the sacrifice of life to satisfy its fearful nature. It is human nature to have both options available, yet it is also human nature to consciously choose which of those options is for the highest good of all concerned.

Meanwhile, the Moon is moving gracefully through fair-minded Libra at fifteen degrees with a realization that the same emotional cycle of events and energy appears to be repeating itself relative to resources, self-values, and relationships. Yet, fifteen degrees is a half-way point to consciously transforming self-values to achieve an emotional balance.

The caveat is that Venus the queenly ruler of Libra had just begun to reverse direction in Leo, so circumstances and events since June 19, 2023, are up for review regarding changes that were being considered and are now being reconsidered relative to their value.

Thus, the key to moving through the changes is to embrace the temporary hiatus to reevaluate the quality of resources and relationships, to determine if your self-values are attracting twenty-four-carat or ten-carat gold.

If the quality of attraction is less than desired, now is a time to clean off the accumulated tarnish of negative thoughts, behaviors, and self-values during the next six weeks without indulging in creative drama trauma! Otherwise, you may find that your audience has vacated the premises!

The emotional climate begins to shift on July 25, as the Moon steals silently into the secretive emotional terrain of Scorpio to stir up the emotional pain of the past for resolution. The caveat is that every time the pain is remembered as an emotional defense mechanism, it is also self-inflicted torture that becomes anchored into present experiences. The key and the power of the Scorpio Moon is to determine what needs to be learned from the past and integrate those lessons in a positive mindset to release the negative emotions associated with the past, so you can get on with a new way of life!

The first encounter that the Moon in Scorpio experiences is a first-quarter phase with the Sun in Leo later in the afternoon, so emotional challenges may arise over control issues regarding financial affairs which requires active communication to resolve. The caveat is that the energy of Scorpio and Leo is characterized as stubborn and determined once a position is taken with neither backing down, so the communication needs to be qualified as what can be improved upon, instead of what is wrong.

On the midmorning of July 24, Mercury in Leo joins Venus retrograde in Leo for an opportunity to find the metaphorical gold of past relationships to recover the valuable resources of loving oneself with an open and trusting heart, redefined self-values, and an attitude of gratitude for the gift of love to oneself and others!

Later in the evening, the Moon jumps into fiery Sagittarius with the emotional optimism for a new adventure or at least a party! So, if you can manage to start the weekend off early, go for it! It may be just what is needed to shake off the weight and the heat of the past few days for some well-deserved emotional relief!

Just as the work day ends on July 28, Mercury moves into work-related Virgo, so starting the weekend off early may be a great strategy to avoid working over the weekend, as plans may go sideways unpredictably!

The celestial week of July 17, 2023, begins with the Sun rising in instinctively reactive Cancer illuminating an opportunity to emotionally realize that one is either, “giving away power” to avoid the responsibility of it or accepting it with the responsible leadership and accountability that goes with it.

As the Moon is the CEO of Cancer and is also submerged in an emotional pond of sensitive vulnerable feelings in a balsamic phase to the Sun in Cancer, the key is to consciously let go of what you feel is your responsibility for others and realign your emotional energy to utilize your personal power to focus on the responsibility to yourself with the faith of potential opportunities materializing on the horizon.

Otherwise, potential confrontations with others may occur over a projection or rejection of authoritative power. Underlying the balsamic lunar phase is a yod configuration qualified as the “finger of God” between the shadow of Venus in Leo going retrograde on July 22, Neptune retrograde in Pisces, and Pluto retrograde in Capricorn.

As a result, the energy of the yod symbolizes an opportunity to embrace a period of transformation relative to self-values, worth, resources, and how one relates to all areas of life, which may require a spiritual attitude adjustment regarding the awareness of unconsciously creating personal reality by default, as well as an attitude adjustment from Pluto in Capricorn about subconsciously dealing with inner issues and thoughts about things that feel out of control and influenced by unknown forces.

However, the blessing of the yod configuration lies in setting the ego of Venus in Leo aside and humbly remembering that a greater power lies within to consciously create a desired reality with power, grace, and gratitude when the little will is surrendered to a greater good for all.

While this week is a preview of this opportunity, it will be in effect until Aug 5th and will then resurface during the first week of October as a reality check or progress report of how well you have done.

Later in the afternoon, the Moon in Cancer catches up with the Sun in Cancer in a unified cycle of emotionally tenacious energy to take actions based on emotions with no attachment to the unfoldment of the outcome regarding the intentions of the recent solar eclipse cycle of April 19, 2023. The key to taking this emotional leap of faith is to pay attention to the gut feeling that comes from a subconscious emotional impulse as a psychic message to move forward.

Before the day ends, the Moon dances into heart-warming emotionally generous Leo to gracefully solicit support for the actions taken with a dazzling, charismatic smile before it joins Mercury and Venus to create an opportunity that increases financial gain through social media and networking.

However, Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus may have the final say before releasing funds or investing resources without qualified research, a well-executed business plan, and a written guarantee that ensures a bountiful return of value. While, WC Fields quoted, “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit” that strategy will likely fall short of the intended result if applied!

During the noon hour of July 20, the Moon moves swiftly into conscious and mentally adept Virgo with an emotional mindset to cut through the grandstanding chase with facts and statistics that may have the effect of throwing cold water and a screeching halt to over the top expenditures without prior discussion or approval. The business attitude of the Moon in Virgo to trim the financial fat is currently supported by the cautious and pragmatic earth signs of Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, Mars in Virgo, and Pluto retrograde in Capricorn.

Later in the afternoon, Mars in Pisces opposes Saturn retrograde in Pisces for an accounting of a seemingly lackadaisical business attitude that has allowed important business decisions to fall through the cracks. While the illumination may cause some embarrassment to the reputation of CEOs, it will not soften the blow of long-term repercussions.

The workweek ends with the Sun in Cancer opposing Pluto in Capricorn with an illumination of what needs to be balanced with cooperation regarding the responsibilities of the home front and the achievement of career goals to avoid unnecessary confrontations, challenges, and attitude adjustments when the Sun moves into Leo and Venus goes retrograde on July 22.

The celestial week of July 10, 2023, begins with the Sun rising in emotionally protective Cancer, illuminating an opportunity to seek nurturing emotional sustenance to nourish and heal unconscious insecurities rooted in fear of the past taking shape into present experiences.
The caveat is that in order to heal unconscious fears, they must become conscious. Therefore, the Sun’s position in vulnerable Cancer is a valuable time of emotional illumination to cultivate the ability to respond to irritational fears by recognizing that they only exist in the mind as a projection of the past into present and future time.

The ruler of Cancer energy is the Moon and is currently speeding through impatient Aries with an opportunity to embody the mother within to heal and release the heavy burden of the expectations of others to care for them and indulge in personal emotional self-care.

Whereas, Mars the planetary ruler of Aries is finishing up a visit in glorious Leo with an opportunity to demonstrate unconditional love for oneself with values of gold that nourish and validate the inner child’s creativity, and self-worth with gratitude for the gift of life.

Shortly after sunrise, Mars moves into mentally hard-working. methodical and meticulous Virgo with a mindset to get this show on the road! Thus, out comes the list of intentions and goals considered in the new year for action! Whether it relates to spiritual, mental, physical, or emotional health, the next several weeks are primed for improvement!

The key is to set the intentions, put forth the effort, and affirm positive results without a critical analysis of the results as they are being produced. Another important consideration of Mars moving through Virgo is to be consciously aware that spoken works can either cut like a knife or be a catalyst of encouragement which will be part and parcel of the finished product. This includes self-talk as well as communication with others.

A testament to this may very well occur later in the afternoon with Mercury in sensitive Cancer opposes Pluto in authoritative Capricorn, illuminating a potential confrontation as the maternal energy of caretaking requires meditation with the paternal energy of being responsible for a win/win solution. The key is to utilize information received from emotional feelings as constructive feedback relative to the current progress of transforming personal reality as a responsible and powerful CEO of life.

As both planets are positioned at the twenty-ninth degree of mastery, the feedback will arrive as to whether you emotionally respond or react with power when confronted with authoritative energy attempting to control outcomes with manipulative behaviors or agendas.

Then, just before sunset, the Moon meanders into calm and gentile Taurus with an opportunity to unwind the emotional tension of the day with a savory meal and gratitude for the simple pleasures of life as the Sun paints the sky with glorious shades of color as it begins to retire for the evening.

Shortly before the day ends, Mercury saunters into regal Leo with a commanding presence that communicates power and strength without words. Leo’s energy is charismatic and Mercury in Leo has the power to sway the opinions of others with a heart-felt message or turn the tide of opinion with a heartless uncaring demeanor of pride if the ego is in charge.

Therefore, the key to communicating with power during the next few weeks is to demonstrate appreciation for the viewpoints of others without a superior attitude that has to be right for the sake of being right or having the last word. An excellent neuro-linguistic programming technique is to share with someone what they did right, what they can improve, and what they did right, with a genuine smile that will lead them right where you want them to go, and thank you for the opportunity as they do!

Minutes after midnight on July 11, Mercury in Leo is compelled to communicate romantic feelings in a creative skit for attention that may annoy the North Node in Taurus for keeping it awake instead of eliciting reciprocal affection. Thus, the challenge lies in choosing to ignore the attention by feigning sleep or giving in to the demand in order to get some peaceful sleep! No doubt it is an underlying challenge to determine who is in control at the moment!

Another challenging exchange of energy occurs over breakfast on July 12, as the Sun in Cancer may seek emotional nurturing that irritates the frustrations of Chiron in Aries who is racing out the door for some “me” time! Thus, the Sun in Cancer is left alone to figure out and support its emotional needs without someone to hold its hand while it does.

Later, during lunch, the North Node begins to travel backward into Aries for the next couple of years, opening a doorway to pursue one’s individual destiny of independence, which may be similar to the circumstances of 2004. Therefore, changes are on the horizon regarding personal desires that seem to require immediate and urgent action. The caveat is that individual desires may become counterproductive to relationships, career ambitions, and home and family matters. The key is to resist throwing the baby out with the bathwater!

In the early hours of July 13, the Moon flits into curious Gemini on the wings of a butterfly as it goes from one emotional thought to another without interruption or congruency. So emotional feelings may go back and forth without warning or expression during the next couple of days. The energy of the Moon in Gemini is lighthearted, fun, and mischievous, so serious communication of feelings is likely off the menu, even though Mercury in Leo may be able to pull it off with a dramatic flair!

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.
