Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day; it will journey there until Tuesday late evening. Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest.
Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever — as long as our trust is never betrayed.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. It does so through subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
The Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”, etc. It can, therefore, be stormy — a cold winter storm or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies.
Monday early morning, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 4:57am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday morning (July 14th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday morning (July 16th). This will contribute either to a lack of mental energy or a need to focus more inwardly.
This aspect operates more internally: We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward, and we must make a choice.
The sheer scope of our goals in life can require more effort than is immediately apparent. Hard work can take its toll on our mental health. If we partition our big ideas into achievable segments — and go one clear action step at a time— we can move forward while maintaining inner peace and outer health.
Use your time wisely! Develop inner awareness to see what needs adjusting.
Could you let go, just for now, of wanting to rank things in order? Could you let go, just for now, of wanting to be in control? Wanting to know what’s next? Might slowing down and turning inward give you the solution that you are looking for?
Might it be possible that showing gratitude towards others and opening your heart might lead to less stress or pressure?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-20 degrees of Leo or Pisces? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Virgo, Gemini, or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Saturn rules Capricorn).
Monday morning, a challenging Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 7:44am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday morning (July 12th) on; it will remain strong until Thursday late morning (July 18th). This asks us to stretch ourselves and expand from within.
We might feel less confident about who we are and have a hard time projecting a social “front”. Our conditioning and wounded sense of Self may be out of harmony with each other.
As best as you can, take this as an opportunity to make space for feeling vulnerable or emotional without seeing yourself as weak or “less than”. It is perfectly ok to be yourself and feel insecure once in a while; as best as you can, bring compassion and love to yourself and others. After all, we are all human…
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC), or personal planets in 20-27 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Libra, or Capricorn? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo (the Sun rules Leo).
Monday late morning, a Mars/Uranus alignment in 26º of Taurus becomes exact at 10:05am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday early morning (July 11th) on; it will remain strong until Saturday early morning (July 20th).
This connection brings a lot of nervous energy with it: we will most likely feel sudden spurts of energy moving through our bodies; this could make us rash in thought and deed. We may experience sudden insights about ourselves and our valued goals.
Ask yourself: Might a deep breath into my belly calm my nervous system? What might it look like to consciously break away from situations that have limited me when it came to honoring myself and my talents? Where could I channel my courage?
Where do I need to “think different”? Act different?
Our willingness to innovate is strong with this alignment: new ways of seeing, using, and approaching our personal possessions, valuables, money, and talents are in focus.
It takes courage to try something new and different. Ask yourself: What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who honors and loves themselves and has the courage to have different values from others?
This alignment between Uranus and Mars also asks us to break away from anything keeping us from honoring our uniqueness and quirks — whatever keeps us in a rut, collectively and individually.
Please be extra conscious when driving. Do your best to channel the extra energy in a productive way: physical exercise is great for this, as is consciously breaking away from situations that have limited you — up until now.
And (this is always wise)… As best as you can, stay grounded and keep breathing …
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, orAquarius? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Aquarius (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)
