MERCURY IN VIRGO 25-26 JULY 2024 and nit-picky and worrisome come to my mind Mercury slips into its home sign of Virgo for only a brief stay before stationing retrograde at 04°06 Virgo (antiscion 25°54’ Aries) on 4-5 August. On its backward journey it will return to Leo on 14 August to station direct at 21°24’ Leo (antiscion 08°36’ Taurus) on 28 August, re-entering to the sign of Virgo on 9 September.
OOB FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN 21 JULY 2024 The second Full Moon of this lunar month (also known as a blue Moon but less rare than given to believe) will occur at 29°09’ in the serious, ambitious sign of Capricorn (antiscion 00°51’ Sagittarius) and has the flavour of the 4th-10th house axis (Cancer-Capricorn), the intimate versus the public, home versus work/career, fluidity versus rigidity etc. The Moon is OOB and as such prone to acting in an exaggerated fashion.
MARS IN GEMINI 20 JULY 2024 mental overdrive…. Mars will enter Gemini on the 20th of July, this, for many, will bring back (un)pleasant memories of Mars’ previous (too) long stay in Gemini which lasted from August 2022 to March 2023.
MARS CONJUNCT URANUS 15 JULY 2024 Although not an exceptionally rare event since it occurs approximately every two years or so this conjunction is particular for the fact that the two planets conjoin at 26°19 Taurus (antiscion 03° 41' Leo) on the Fixed Star Algol. Those with natal planets or angles between 23-30° of the Fixed signs Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius will be involved in this conjunction.
VENUS ENTERS LEO 11 JULY 2024 Look at me, look at me! Venus, the planet of values, love, and finances, enters the sign of Leo.
OOB NEW MOON IN CANCER ON 5-6 JULY 2024 emotionally intense……. The New Moon will occur at 14°23’ Cancer (antiscion 15°37° Gemini). The Moon will also be OOB making it an exceptionally sensitive Moon.
MERCURY ENTERS LEO ON 02 JULY 2024 All I'm askin', is for a little respect when you get home (just a little bit)”* After a short stay in the homely sign of Cancer, Mercury now enters flamboyant Leo. In Leo, all planets want to be respected according to their nature. Mercury in Leo wants to be respected for his opinions and views and in desiring this, self-confidence often turns into bravado and presumption.
NEPTUNE STATIONS RETROGRADE ON 02 JULY 2024 “Intuition is seeing with the soul.” Dean Koontz Neptune starts his yearly 5-month long retrograde season at 29°56’ in his home sign of Pisces (antiscion 00°04’ Libra) where he has been transiting since 2011-2012. This transit will activate planets or angles between 30-25° of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces).
SATURN’S 5-MONTH RETROGRADE PERIOD STARTS ON 29 JUNE 2024 Sorting out the possible from the impossible…. Saturn will station retrograde at 19°26’ Pisces (antiscion 10°34’ Libra) on the 29th of June to station direct at 12°42’ Pisces on 15th November. Saturn is the planet of restriction and order which rewards hard work and perseverance. Pisces is known for its fervid imagination and intuitive compassion, it is also the sign of being gullible and goal-less, these two qualities being totally at odds with Saturn themes. Pisces brings to mind the victim and the martyr [...]
FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN 21-22 JUNE 2024 “If you own this story you get to write the ending.” Brené Brown The first Full Moon of two in in the serious, ambitious sign of Capricorn will occur at 01°07’ (antiscion 28°53’ Sagittarius) and has the flavour of the 4th-10th house axis (Cancer-Capricorn), the intimate versus the public, home versus work/career, fluidity versus rigidity etc.
