Leo/midsummer

The peak passion of midsummer, often bringing dramatic developments with historic consequence. This year, creative energy in flowing feeling comes out with deep nature power and revolutionary expression.

Sun into Leo Monday 7/22, a full moon, with big emotion activated (Mars meets Jupiter in Cancer, grand trine in water signs) and the mental tide turning forward (Mercury ending retrograde). On Saturday 7/27, the action impulse reaches peak energizing from grounded power (Mars in Cancer opposite Pluto in Capricorn), releasing it with the expression of deep, wise mind (square Uranus in Aries Wednesday 7/31). There's more where this came from.

At the midsummer turning point, Leo new moon, on Tuesday 8/6, big, creative energy, solid with core feeling, reaches alignment with primal nature force (Jupiter in Cancer opposite Pluto in Capricorn 8/7), releasing it with revolutionary passion (a second Leo full moon--blue moon--on Tuesday 8/20, Jupiter square Uranus in Aries 8/21).

A great wave of creativity is coming out with grounded power for revolutionary development, breaking through the tension of control with magnified vitality. It will realign over the winter, a second, love-led wave (Mars in Libra) releasing next spring. We have entered a time of transformation rooted in the power of nature and the wisdom to go with it.

Saturday 7/20/13

Completing saturating sensitivity and weeks of mental reflection (grand trine in water signs, Mercury ending retrograde).

Now spirit hits bottom, rebounding with primal power (Moon into Capricorn 11:39am Pacific time), full moon Monday (11:15am) with creativity activated into expression (Mars meets Jupiter), beginning a month of big energy release.
