The Sun is pulling off from its square with the North Node and Uranus and the South Node today, however Fixed second Decan Sun people should still take special care around risks and potentially reckless actions. They should also pay special attention to what is going on around them. Generally speaking for everyone this is probably not a good time to try to ‘get away’ with something. And those who have been getting away with suspect or shady things may find themselves caught and dealing with consequences now.
There is a Full Moon in Aquarius at 9:35 PM EDT Thursday and anything goes. The unique individual in each of us comes out during the Full Moon in Aquarius. Indeed this is the time when many let their avant-garde, fringe or freaky side come out to play. Let your guard down and have some fun now. On another level this Full Moon will shed light on whatever Saturn has been peeling back and revealing in your life or in yourself as it retrogrades through Aquarius. This can result in a liberating resolution of past issues. The development of a more authentic version of yourself that you embody as you move forward down your path is also possible now. Venus enters Leo Thursday. Attractions get hotter and relationships intensify. There is a grandiosity to Venus in Leo that is expressed in how we experience love and in how we express love. The performers among us will likely get even more expressive in the performances during this transit. Overall these energies align nicely with those of the Sun for the rest of its journey through Leo. Live your passion, people. Mars in Taurus sextiles Neptune in Pisces now and the physical world aligns with the spiritual plane. Inspiration for new paths in life can occur as a result of this aspect. Open your mind Thursday and Friday and the Universe will provide. Duncan de la Montagne Monday August 8 at 2:39 PM EDT the Moon moves into the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn. This is much more grounded and accomplishment oriented lunar energy than what we experienced over the weekend as the Moon transited Sagittarius. Practical productivity is what will feel best for the duration of this lunar transit. Focus should come more easily now for most. The first two days of the new week are perfect for working toward getting ourselves, our space and our life in better order. The Sun in Leo forms an exact trine with Chiron in Aries Monday, creating one of the great healing windows of 2022. As Chiron is retrograding now we are afforded a wonderful opportunity to reconcile past issues over the next couple of days, to understand things in a new way and to make peace with them on some level. Venus in Cancer opposes Pluto in Capricorn Monday putting some stress on relationships, certainly exacerbating any already existing strain. Power dynamics may get complicated, secrets may be revealed and enemies previously obscured may show their face now. At very least someone is going to reveal something they have done or something about themself to you that will come as something of a shock. While these Venus/Pluto energies may result in discomfort or discord, ultimately they are aligned with the overall energy tone of the early week which is geared toward creating better order, balance and well being in our lives. The Moon will continue to transit through Capricorn Tuesday and the energies of the Venus/Pluto opposition will remain strong until Wednesday. Those who are able to proceed with calm, steady determination are likely to make the most of the energies of the early week.
Duncan de la Montagne Saturday at 12:39 EDT the Moon shifts into Sagittarius, the Sun of course is in Leo. Both luminaries will then be in harmony in Fire Element signs for two and a half days. This opens up one of the most positive and pleasurable energy portals of Leo Season 2022. The blend of Lunar Sagittarius and Leo Sun energy creates a light-hearted, social, fun-seeking astral vibe which is perfect for a summer weekend. This is a time to indulge yourself in the various pleasures of life. Sunday the Moon continues its transit through Sagittarius. Venus in Cancer aligns with Neptune in Pisces in a magical Water trine on Sunday. This Venus/Neptune union will have many falling into new friendship, or falling in love, or finding great inspiration in artistic pursuits or in specific creative projects. One of the secrets to living well is having the capacity to find and to experience joy in life. The current cosmic energies are perfect for doing just that.
Duncan de la Montagne Thursday morning the Moon moved into Scorpio, the Sun of course is in Leo. As Scorpio and Leo are two of the least compatible signs and energies in the Zodiac when the Moon transits into Scorpio in Leo Season the tone of the cosmic energy mix is decidedly discordant. Conflict can easily erupt. Long-lasting anger and resentment can be the result, bitterness and hatred even. The Planet Mercury transited into Virgo overnight and for the next three weeks our thought processes will become much more analytical. The effect of the combination of the current Scorpio Moon and Virgo Mercury energies can be quite triggering around obsessions and obsessive behavior. Certainly Thursday is a good day for research, it can also be a day for falling into and getting lost in endlessly looping rabbit holes. Friday the Moon continues its transit through Scorpio. Energies get more intense and dramatic as the Moon connects with the South Node, bringing the past into our emotional present. Friday can be a day of emotional trials and tribulations. Be careful how you react to confrontations. Be careful that you do not say or do something now that you cannot take back. Friday will certainly be a day of Karmic retribution and penalty for some. It is definitely not a good day to try to get away with something, so guide yourself accordingly.
Duncan de la Montagne A rare, powerful, fate-drenched stellium involving Mars, Uranus and the North Node gains strength and influence Sunday night and is exact on Monday. For some in their personal life this will be an aspect of serendipitous good fortune, fortune most likely to manifest in the areas of life that the House where 18 degrees of Taurus resides rules in their Natal Chart. For others it will be fated results, perhaps with harsh consequences. On the world stage the influence of the intense, volatile, energies of the exact alignment of these three astrological placements could bring chaos, mayhem and destruction in areas where tension and stress have been building in the aftermath of the stellium. This is a ‘big event’ aspect that definitely could act as a catalyst. Hang on to your hats, folks, things could get really interesting in the dog days of summer or the early fall.
Duncan de la Montagne. Thursday July 28 at 13:54 EDT we have a New Moon in Leo. Certainly the astrology of the week is intense with Mercury forming successive hard aspects with multiple planets over the course of the week and with the fateful, karma-drenched Mars/Uranus/North Node stellium that begins alignment Sunday night. Thursday however holds more positive celestial properties with the New Moon in Leo and the trine it forms with Jupiter in Aries. This New Moon is a time to reflect upon exactly what sort of human you want to be, and to then consider the necessary steps required for you to get there. This New Moon is a time to plant the seeds of your future being the seeds of future desire and of future ambition. The nurturing of these seeds of future you that you plant now should be the primary focus of your spiritual and/or magickal practice until the end of the 28 day cycle and the next New Moon so they can root firmly and truly begin to develop . We have a great sense of the possible now due to the Jupiter participation in the New Moon lunation, so let your heart soar and let your vision be grand.
Duncan de la Montagne The Moon transits into Cancer Monday and Venus in Cancer squares Jupiter in Aries. You may find yourself feeling a little more sensitive than usual under these energies. Insecurities may feel more pronounced as well. Some may feel particularly unsupported. Certainly the combined energies of the Cancer Moon and the Venus/Jupiter square make for a complex emotional landscape to start the week. Be patient with yourself now, be patient and tolerant with the people in your life. Try not to indulge any anxiety based suspicion or paranoia. Try to maintain perspective when expressing your feelings to others, try to maintain perspective when others are expressing their feelings to you. Be prepared to detach from desire for overindulgence as a means of avoidance from feeling. Allow yourself to flow through the day experiencing all the emotions that arise in you and not latching onto and dwelling on the ones that are rooted in core fear and injury. This would be a good time to focus on the love that is present in your life.
Duncan de la Montagne The bright bold vitality of the Sun bursts forth now as it enters Leo, the Fixed Fire element sign that it rules. This is a time to get excited about participating in the experience that is life. This is a time of forming future goals. It is a time of self manifestation, of self promotion for some and of public self expression for all. Everyone is at least a little bit of an extrovert when the Sun passes through the sign of Leo. This is a time of gatherings and celebration. Allow yourself to indulge in festive pleasures throughout the four weeks of Leo Season. And yes, there may be drama. In fact it is likely there will be drama emanating from the more self-focused and/or ego challenged among us. Watch for over-exaggeration from some, particularly over the next ten days while Mercury transits Leo as well. Do not allow yourself to fall victim to the devious manipulations and machinations of others with an agenda. Do not take all the messaging that comes your way as gospel now. Be sure to do your own due diligence before coming to a conclusion about whatever controversy may rise around you or before jumping into an opportunity or deal. While the Sun is in Leo consider the narrative you are weaving in your own life now and whether it is the right narrative for you.
Duncan de la Montagne The Full Super Moon in Capricorn is exact at 2:27 PM EDT today. Pluto retrograde is adjacent (6 degrees away at precise moment of lunation). The energies of this Full Moon in Capricorn stimulate new awareness of your origins, who you truly are, where you are really from. This Full Moon is all about authenticity. It will have you questioning direction. Whether you are headed where you really need to go, or whether you are simply moving toward something because some part of your psyche has been programmed to move you in that direction. This Full Moon can have you transforming on fundamental levels and changing the course and direction of your life in profound ways. It is a strong manifesting Moon that can have you taking greater power in your life. This is a purging Moon. You will find you have awareness of elements and patterns that cause you to struggle. You will find you have the willingness and the ability to move on. This Full Moon sextiles Neptune, which will have many rejecting what they now clearly see does not serve them in the spiritual area of life. Many will feel compelled to reject controlling religious dogma and seek alternate spiritual paradigms. This Moon has the potential to trigger harsh conflict in situations where strong power dynamics are at play. Change of a more difficult nature may be what results here; but ultimately this change will stimulate growth, growth that benefits you in your journey.
Duncan de la Montagne. The Moon transited into the bold, ego-driven, Fixed Fire sign of Leo Thursday night at 8:40 PM EDT, just in time for Holiday Weekend. Leo is a festive sign so most people will be up for fun and certainly many will be enthusiastically expressing themselves in a variety of manners and degrees over the next couple of days. Today Mars, the planet that governs our outward expression of energy, forms an exact square with Pluto. This is where things get tricky. This is a volatile aspect that can unleash dangerous and destructive energies. Pay attention to what is going on around you. Power struggles can easily explode into violent fights under these energies. There is increased likelihood of accident or misadventure now. Take no unnecessary risks. It's definitely a time to curb over-sensitivity and keep your ego in check. Your temper can flare easily now and reactivity can lead to impulse and action you later regret. Those who keep it light and easy will enjoy the best experience under these energies. Those who slip into uber-competitive aggressive self-focused mode however will be agents of chaos who cause a negative experience for others and ultimately a bad experience for themselves. Have fun, but play nice and stay spiritual!
