FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS …the friendship Moon The Full Moon this month falls at 09°15’ of the sign of Aquarius (antiscion 20°45’ Scorpio), a Fixed, Air sign ruled by Saturn (traditional ruler) and Uranus (modern ruler). Full Moons are times of harvest and completion when things concerning the house in the natal chart with Aquarius on its cusp can’t possibly get any better or any worse for that matter. This Full Moon has 5 planets in the Fixed modality and 5 in the Earth element, matters should be practical and rather at a standstill also confirmed by this lunation chart [...]
MERCURY ENTERS THE SIGN OF VIRGO …..and nit-picky and worrisome come to my mind Mercury enters Virgo, one of the signs it rules and it will remain there an unusually long time, well over the month that it habitually stays in one sign. It will in fact leave Virgo on the 4-5th October this year. During that time it will also make the third of its annual retrograde periods which this year all take place in the Earth signs (SR 23/08 at 21°51’, SD 15/09 at 08°00’). I will be writing more in detail about this nearer the time. Mercury in Virgo is very analytical and rather [...]
VENUS RETROGRADE IN LEO FROM 22-23 JULY TO 4 SEPTEMBER 2023 Venus, the planet of values, love, and finances, entered the sign of Leo on the 5th of June this year. Venus usually spends approximately 24-26 days in each sign but due to its 42-day retrograde period it will actually be in Leo until the 9th of October 2023. The planet will backtrack from 28°36’ (antiscion 01°24’ Taurus) to 12°12’ Leo (antiscion 17°48’ Taurus), stationing direct on 4th September.
OOB NEW MOON IN CANCER ON 17 JULY 2023 emotionally intense……. The New Moon will occur at 24°56’ Cancer, a Cardinal, Water sign, ruled by the Moon (the Mooniest Moon). The antiscion point is 05°04’ Gemini.
LUNAR NODES ENTER ARIES-LIBRA AXIS The transiting nodes are reality checks on our soul path… On July 17th, the Lunar Nodes will enter the Aries/Libra axis after having been in the Taurus/Scorpio polarity since January 2022. So, the modality will change from Fixed (Earth-Water) to Cardinal (Fire-Air). With the North Node transiting the sign of Aries this could be a good moment to learn about standing up for yourself and being more self-sufficient (in the area of your chart affected by the transit). You may fear that your own happiness depends on the happiness of those around you (SN [...]
MERCURY ENTERS LEO ON 10-11 JULY 2023 respect my opinion After a short stay in the homely sign of Cancer, Mercury now enters flamboyant Leo.
MARS ENTERS VIRGO ON JULY 10 2023 a mechanical housewife? After swaggering its way through Leo during the last six weeks or so Mars now enters the more modest and service-orientated sign of Virgo.
OOB FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN 3 JULY 2023 “If you own this story you get to write the ending.” Brené Brown On July 3rd there will be a Full Moon at 11°19’ Capricorn (18°41’ Sagittarius), a Cardinal Earth sign and the sign of the Moon’s detriment where it is at its least at ease.
NEPTUNE STATIONS RETROGRADE ON 30 JUNE 2023 “Intuition is seeing with the soul.” Dean Koontz Neptune starts his yearly 5-month long retrograde season at 27°41’ in his home sign of Pisces (antiscion 02°19’ 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).
OOB MERCURY ENTERS CANCER ON 26-27 JUNE 2023 OOB until the 7th of July, Mercury enters the nurturing sign of Cancer on the 26-27 June. Mercury is a little out of sync in Cancer, finding some minor dignity only between 10-20° of the sign. Being a Water sign, Cancer is far too emotional for “all-in-my-head” Mercury and with the planet being OOB for the first part of its stay there may mean that we have an overflow of rationality when it comes to sentiments and feelings or, our poetic vein and story-telling could reach new heights!
