Leo 2010

A time of peak passion with historic potential. Energizing of deep nature power is intensifying, tension between revolutionary expression and demand for harmony at the breaking point. Action and beauty join grounding in love awareness, charged with passionate creative wisdom and primal power. Spirit hits bottom 7/23, visionary full moon 7/25, building toward self assertion 7/30, intensified energy release 8/6, peak passion turning point 8/9. Reinforced nature power will be breaking through resistance with transformative consequences. This is a positive development, whatever the details of the drama.

Intensified feeling.

Life emphasis shifting from resolving old business to looking forward with love.

solstice grand cross new moon total eclipse

On Saturday July 10 the moon joins the sun over the top of our seasonal cycle in the flowing feeling of Cancer, with a new moon total eclipse of the sun on Sunday 12:40pm Pacific time (visible from New Zealand to Easter Island). This will release the energy from a historic reinforcement of nature power, major forces at all four solstice/equinox points. Deep nature has been powerfully intensified and is ready to break through resistance with transformative consequences. Starting here, in emotional sensitivity, it will broaden into peak passion expression in the coming weeks, culminating at the Leo new moon on August 9.

On July 21 the centering life-emphasis of Saturn graduates from several years in the practical pressure of Virgo to the love awareness of Libra, leading us toward harmonious interrelationship.

(Moon enters Cancer Saturday 4:38am PT, square Uranus in Aries 5:36am, square Jupiter in Aries 9:53am, opposite Pluto in Capricorn 10:52am. Moon meets sun, total solar eclipse, Sunday 12:40pm.)

Friday 7/2/10

After a week of deep nature moving us through solitary awareness and tender feeling (moon in Aquarius then Pisces), Saturday brings big passion emergence (moon into Aries with Jupiter and Uranus, square Pluto in Capricorn). Energy builds all week (moon into earthy Taurus then mental Gemini) toward next weekend's Cancer new moon solar eclipse, the release of historically reinforced nature power on this planet.
