Wednesday 7/18/12--Cancer new moon

Intensified nature power is activated for revolutionary development. Mental tide is backtracking, anchoring us with reflective depth. The first new moon of summer tonight, a peak of emotional sensitivity, begins big energy release. We are led by love.

Tuesday 7/17/12--grand cross

Major forces at all four corners of our seasonal cycle creating a peak of energized tension, passionate mind reflective amidst it. Deep nature power and revolutionary development are activated by big energy for love. The first new moon of summer Wednesday night triggers flowing release.

(Moon in Cancer, Mars in Libra square Pluto in Capricorn opposite Uranus in Aries--grand cross in first signs of seasons. Mercury and Uranus retrograde in fire signs. Mars in Libra trine Jupiter in Gemini. Cancer new moon Wednesday 9:24pm Pacific time.)

Monday 7/16/12

A shift to flowing feeling.

(Moon joins Sun in Cancer 5:31pm Pacific time.)

Friday 7/13/12

In a time of emotional sensitivity (Sun in Cancer), wise mind has turned reflective, internalizing in the passion of personal emergence (Uranus retrograde in Aries, until December 13), deepening its empowerment for constructive transformation (square Pluto in Capricorn) as we move forward. Quick mind, the day-to-day mental tide, turns backtracking for a few weeks Saturday night, undermining momentum with second thoughts, distraction (Mercury retrograde in Leo until August 8). Give in, go where it takes us. It's the best we can do.

In a powerful and emotional time, mind turning inward, anchoring us with reflective depth as we move forward.

Big mentality this weekend (Moon joins Jupiter in Gemini Saturday, aligned with Mars in Libra, just as Mercury turns retrograde). A shift to flowing feeling energy release Monday night (Moon into Cancer), new moon there Wednesday night.

Thursday 7/12/12

Earthy energy now, Moon in Taurus, building toward next Wednesday's first new moon of summer in emotional Cancer. Mental activity strong--Mars and Jupiter aligning in air signs.

Both the mental influences are slowing to a stop and turning retrograde in the passion of fire signs--deep Uranus late tonight until December 13, quick Mercury Saturday night until August 7. Nothing wrong with this. Undermines momentum with reflection, which is good for us if we give in to it.

Monday 7/9/12

Personal passion, energized with deep power. Active mentality these days.

(Moon in Aries, square Pluto in Capricorn. Mars in Libra, Jupiter in Gemini.)

Friday 7/6/12

Alignment in awareness the last couple days. Tender feeling for the weekend. New emergence Monday.

(Moon in Aquarius, into Pisces Friday night, into Aries Monday morning.)

Wednesday 7/4/12

Soul over the top into the flow, heart rebounding with primal power. Action into love.

(Sun in Cancer, Moon full with Pluto in Capricorn. Mars into Libra.)

Tuesday 7/3/12--full moon

First full moon of summer. In a time of flowing feeling, full heart hits bottom with heavy power, grounded in reality, supported for constructive development rooted in core nature. Action expression, after months in practical pressure, moves into loving relations.

(Sun in Cancer, Moon in Capricorn with Pluto 5:11am Pacific time, full 11:52am. Mars from Virgo into Libra 5:32am.)
