This aspect would be stronger and have a more positive influence in proactive ways if Jupiter were not retrograde now. As it is, it can bring enthusiasm and good energies for new projects of all sorts; however, caution now against getting caught up in the moment and taking on things that you really have no time or bandwidth for at present.

Duncan de la Montagne The Sun enters Virgo Monday. For the next four weeks solar energy will be grounded, sensible and organized. Virgo creates security through analysis. This is a great time for creating new discipline and structure in life, important elements in the forming and maintaining of a well functioning life in the world. While it is of course important to have standards in life, take caution against perfectionism and being overly judgmental when the Sun is in Virgo. Remember, you are human, and so is everybody else around you. So yeah, not perfect. Therefore there should be no expectation of perfection. Also, remember that life is not an exercise in striving to be the most virtuous being possible. Again, you are human. Do try to remain true to your own spiritual values in your day to day, while still realizing that you are going to mess up from time to time, as will everyone else around you.

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.

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.

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.
