Monday 8/6/18

Midsummer, Sun in Leo, peak passion, building toward new moon power breakout Saturday.

Moon through earthy Taurus last few days, now in mental Gemini at the top of our seasonal cycle, shifting to flowing feeling Cancer Tuesday night (9:01pm PT).  Mercury retrograde (til 8/19), mind reflective amidst it, with deep mind Uranus turning retrograde, anchoring us with wisdom rooted in physical nature (in Taurus, with Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn).

Sun in Leo square Jupiter in Scorpio (4:28 pm PT) releases energized tension between emotional intensity and passionate expression, with Neptune in Pisces encouraging vulnerable sensitivity.  Venus, light of beauty, leads the way into loving Libra (also 4:28pm PT), aligning supportively (trine) with activating Mars in visionary Aquarius--harmony is key to healthy interrelationship.

Leo new moon Saturday (2:58am PT) is peak power turning point for the year, energy that's been building breaking out, developing situations ripening with consequence.
