Morning Star: Astrology for the Weekend of July 29 to July 30, 2017

Saturday, July 29, 2017 Pranks meant to stir fear and phobia. Insidious Clowns. That is what we were dealing with in the US the last time Jupiter in Libra was in square to Pluto. There were other headlines that did correlate. But, this one was easy to remember. Now, the bolts on that square tighten, yet again. The next Jupiter/Pluto square perfects midweek. However, the headlines between this “war of the Gods” have already began trickling into our sphere. Threats from foreign enemies (which has been a thing, anyway), killer carnival rides, public tirades of profanity...all Jupiter/Pluto. These two are insidious bedfellows. With them, they squeeze the ugly out of the collective and put it on public display. Some inflated and meant to catalyze fear/phobia. Some, horrific tales in which a happy result was anticipated. Public threats and shaming. Self-righteous proclamations. It's all coming to the fore now and will continue to be at issue as this square waxes in. A prelude, also like...

Monday, July 24, 2017 This morning the Moon is still fresh and new in the sign of Leo. Her first aspect is in sextile to Jupiter in Libra at 7:00 AM. This is light and uplifting allowing us to potentially greet Monday with optimism. However, we also have two major personal planet transits today that bear importance. At 10:55 AM EDT, Venus perfects in opposition to Saturn. Then, at 12:33 PM, Mercury trines Uranus. Now, the actions of Mercury right now are particularly interesting. He is essentially the leader of the planetary pack right now. Between today and tomorrow he will jet across the Aug 31 ecliptic point, enter his retrograde shadow and exit Leo for Virgo (25 th 7:42 PM). There may be information that trickles in on a personal or global level that will relate to ecliptic themes. We may ALSO encounter the introduction of themes due to repeat themselves during Mercury's retrograde. My best guess is (especially since Mercury's retrograde includes a direct station ON the ec...

Saturday, July 22, 2017 For just a very few hours this morning, the Sun and Moon both linger in Cancer. At 11:16 AM, the Sun transitions to Leo giving us an official stellium in the sign. Prior to that, however, the Moon in Cancer is a busy lady. She danced with Neptune overnight at 2:35 AM (trine). Then, she butted heads by square with Jupiter in Libra (5:35 AM). Then, at 8:51 AM she opposed Pluto....all of which can operate to cast a nostalgic and swirling emotional haze over our morning. This could lead us into memories of childhood for better or worse. The Sun's shift into Leo may prompt us to lean into those things we remembered enjoying from our younger more naïve and whimsical days. Or, it could bring hauntings of those times, as well. For me, and most likely the balance struck by others here, it was a little of both...remorseful and joyful. I plucked out the joy and let the remorse slip away. So many years have flowed by since then. Why keep holding on to muddy water? The ...

Monday, July 17, 2017 This morning the Moon is in Taurus as her current ruler, Venus, finds Neptune by square at 10:30 AM. This occurs at 14 degrees between the mutable signs of Pisces and Gemini. Values and what we want may be obscured at this time. We may be placing too much emphasis on the ideal while missing the boat that bring practicality. However, our Moon is quite realistic and grounded which may help while her ruler is basically “love drunk.” It does bring emphasis to the higher expression of Venus. Neptune is the higher octave of that planet. So this mixture begs us to soften in areas that may be too rigid. Have empathy where we may be overly judgmental. Remember the dream and the ethereal vision of love and ground yourself in the reality of now while overlaying the two. Beautiful venetian dreams of creation and art can manifest in physical life under this aspect. And, a strong sense of self-worth and practicality can offset any questions or haze that surrounds concepts that ...

Saturday, July 15, 2017 This weekend, we are under an Aries Moon that answers to Mars. This particular Aries Moon has a certain nuance, though, that in the end may have bearing upon our relationships. Mars in Cancer (which operates on Moon/emotional/intuitive/instinctual juice) is waxing strongly into square with Uranus. The aspect perfects on Monday but is strongest as it is waxing. The Moon aspects both these entities this weekend and her current ruler is Mars. So, that's kind of a big deal. Ahhh, Liz Taylor. One of my favored poster children for Venus mixed with Uranus Basically, what happens here is, our ability to navigate and self-direct is tested. The ways in which we respond to emotional stimuli and potentially catalyzing circumstances measured. In the end, there is opportunity to learn more about how to effectively handle our selves during heightened emotional circumstance. However, the “lessons” are forced upon us... not necessarily chosen. Still yet, Venus is a factor t...
