Thursday 7/31/08--Leo new moon eclipse

Heart aligns with soul at the peak of passion. Love, charged with visionary dreams, leads the way.

(Leo new moon eclipse at 3:12am Pacific time late tonight. Venus in Leo opposite Neptune in Aquarius.)

Tuesday 7/29/08

Intensified earth power now shifts into release. A couple days of flowing feeling. The mid-summer new moon eclipse on August 1, at the peak of passion, is the energy break-out turning point for this year.

(Sun in Leo. Moon into Cancer. Leo new moon eclipse at 3:12am Pacific time Friday.)

Monday 7/28/08

In a time of passion, love charged with healing spiritual awareness. Heart going through mental processing.

(Sun in Leo, Venus in Leo opposite Chiron and moon node in Aquarius. Moon in Gemini.)

Saturday 7/26/08

Solid with the power of the earth. Spiritual healing in awareness.

(Moon in Taurus, Jupiter in Capricorn, Mars and Saturn in Virgo. Chiron and moon node aligned in Aquarius.)

Wednesday 7/23/08

Sun into Leo, mid-summer, heating up the passion. Moon into Aries fire.

Yesterday was weird, the transition into intensified mid-summer, Leo, with the moon still in emotionally-charged Pisces. Late last night the moon went into Aries, like Leo a fire sign. A solid core of passion now, maybe a little more stable.

This is the time of year when energy that's been building for awhile starts to break out, with consequences. If we give in, it sorts itself out.

Monday 7/21/08

Tender sensitivity.

(Moon in Pisces.)

Saturday 7/19/08

The powerfully earthy full moon is now releasing its charge in peak awareness, meeting spiritually healing dreams there.

(Moon in Aquarius with Chiron, moon node and Neptune.)

Friday 7/18/08

The first full moon of summer.

After a month of flowing sensitivity, the full moon in primal earth power has been riveting, grounding us in the physicality of feeling.

It is good for deeper nature to be so intensified, forcing us into alignment with our true selves amidst unfolding drama.

Thursday 7/17/08--full moon

In a time of flowing feeling, the heart is fully charged with intensified physicality.

(Cancer sun, full moon in Capricorn at 12:59am Pacific time Friday.)

Wednesday 7/16/08

With the sun over the top of our seasonal cycle in sensitive Cancer, the moon is now in Capricorn, the grounded physical force rebounding off the bottom of things. It meets energizing Jupiter there at 6:01am Pacific time Thursday, and is full, a peak of intensified earth power, at 12:59am Friday.

Tuesday 7/15/08

Heart with heavy power in the passion at the bottom of things, rebounding with primal force.

(Moon meets Pluto in Sagittarius 7:43pm Pacific time, into Capricorn 9:20pm.)

Monday 7/14/08

Settling down to the bottom of things, with sensitive wisdom.

(Moon in Sagittarius, sun in Cancer trine Uranus in Pisces.)

Saturday 7/12/08

Intensified feeling.

(Sun in Cancer, moon in Scorpio, Uranus in Pisces.)

Sunday 7/6/08

Rooted in flowing feeling, we've moved through peak passion into energized earthiness, a preview of the summer ahead. Mind is blending with dreams in awareness, love is blending with wisdom in sensitivity.

(Sun in Cancer, moon through Leo into Virgo with Mars and Saturn. Mercury trine Neptune in air signs, Venus trine Uranus in water signs.)

Cancer 2008

Summer in the north. Now, the energy that's been building since the first of the year shifts into release, starting with flowing feeling.

On Wednesday, July 2, the moon joins the sun over the top of our seasonal roller coaster in emotionally sensitive Cancer, where they meet for the first new moon of summer at 7:19pm Pacific time. In this year of historic power shifting, with Pluto hitting the bottom of our seasonal cycle for the first time since 1762, and with several outer planets now retrograde there like heavy undertow, the tide of vitality moving over the top into summer flow will generate big surf. It starts here, saturated in feeling, as the releasing energy starts to carry us forward.

Love light leads the way, charged with constructive creativity (Venus in Cancer opposite Jupiter in Capricorn at 10:18pm on new moon night, the 2nd). Starting Friday the 4th, into Saturday, the moon (a beautiful crescent) progresses through the peak passion of Leo, a preview of where we're headed this summer. By Sunday, as love aligns with wisdom in sensitivity (Venus in Cancer trine Uranus in Pisces), spirit moves into practicality (moon in Virgo), reinforced in fruitful expression (joining Mars and Saturn there). Tuesday the 8th the moon crosses into Libra's love-mindedness. Wednesday the sun (soul vitality) releases a charge of constructive creativity (opposite Jupiter in Capricorn), and Thursday action and grounding meet in practicality (Mars aligns with Saturn in Virgo). The moon goes into Scorpio for a weekend of intense feeling peaking Saturday night. Heart spirit meets heavy Pluto at the low ebb, in Sagittarius, on Tuesday night the 15th, and then the hits bottom, a full moon in the grounded earth power of Capricorn at 12:59am Friday the 18th, opposite the sun finishing a month in flowing feeling over the top, Cancer. From here, we will move into mid-summer's peak passion, Leo.

In this historic year of transition, as heavy power aligns with deeper physical nature, giving into feeling is the key to right relationship with intensified physicality.
