I am enjoying the research I do to get this weekly blog post on astrology ready for you, though I do feel like I started at the most difficult point. We will need to get prepared for another week of intense energies that include a full moon and lunar eclipse.
We start on Tuesday, July 16 with the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse at 24 degrees of Capricorn. The energy of a full moon is about bring something to completion or becoming aware of something in our lives that needs to be healed and released. The eclipse energy intensifies the need to release and the energies will be active until the next set of eclipses in December (in 6 months).
This is all taking place in the sign of Capricorn, the sign that represents the patriarchy, government, institutions, business, and religious systems. So pay attention to how this full moon affects your work, job, workplace. There may be disruption or changes.
Also of note today, the Sun and Venus are in Cancer, while the Moon, Saturn, and Pluto are in Capricorn. I have to give credit to astrologist Barbara Goldsmith (on Youtube) who called attention to this aspect in a recent video and called it a "choice between the power of love and the love of power." Do we have the courage to choose wisely?
Venus opposes Saturn on Wednesday, July 17, so when paying attention to your job, are you in conflict with the boss? Drilled down to its core meaning, this astrological aspect triggers the push and pull between freedom and restrictions. You may want to be free to do what you would like to do, but their is an authority figure that is the obstacle. Find middle ground.
On Thursday, July 18, a blissful aspect to give us a break among the oppositions this week. Venus trines with Neptune which is a very good astrological aspect that heightens our creativity. The only warning is to stay grounded.
Mercury is still retrograde and on Friday, July 19, Mercury retrogrades back into Cancer and will remain there for the next 3 weeks. Expect to feel extra sensitive and perhaps defensive while Mercury is in this water sign, Try not to take things personally.
Last but not least, next Sunday, July 21, the Sun will conjunct with Mercury in Cancer. So if you are going to give your opinion or speak your truth, it is best to do so in a loving manner. Cancer is the sign of family, home, mother, and nurturing. Have compassion when you speak up this day.
Best of luck during this busy energy week, my friends. Contact me at jmbarnes31@gmail.com if you would like a tarot reading.
