Wednesday 7/31/19--Leo new moon/Mercury ends retrograde

Midsummer new moon power breakout, just as mind completes weeks of backtracking internalizing.  Sun and Moon meet in Leo (with Venus and Mars), peak fire sign passion (8:12pm PT), amplified this year (Jupiter in Sagittarius).  Mental Mercury ends retrograde (8:58pm PT), shifting to new expression from here.

With the power of physical nature historically reinforced, led by revolutionary wisdom for earthy living (Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Uranus in Taurus), we are anchored by deep feeling in tender sensitivity (Neptune in Pisces), healing self emerging (49-year cycle Chiron in Aries—first time since late 60s).

A seasonal turning point, pressure that's been building ripening into consequence.  At the big new moon this Christmas (Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto in Capricorn), we begin a year of transformative renewal. 

Monday 7/22/19--Leo

Alignment with sensitivity complete (Sun in Cancer, Moon in Pisces over the weekend), now into mid-summer peak passion, with a spark of self-expression (Sun in Leo, Moon in Aries).  Mind reflective amidst it (Mercury retrograde) until 7/31, at Leo new moon power breakout.  Big energy shift 8/11 (Jupiter ends retrograde, Moon into earthy Capricorn), full moon 8/15.

Tuesday 7/16/19--Cancer full moon

First full moon of summer.  Sun over the top of our seasonal cycle in flowing feeling Cancer, Moon full at the bottom of things in the grounded nature power of Capricorn (2:38pm PT).  A new beginning rooted in primal needs.

Saturday 7/13/19

With flowing sensitivity grounded by heavy energy (Sun in Cancer opposite Pluto in Capricorn), nearly full moon getting down to the bottom of things (in Sagittarius with Jupiter), rebounding with primal power starting Sunday night (into Capricorn with Saturn and Pluto 4:05pm PT), full moon there Tuesday (2:38pm PT).

Monday 7/8/19

Sun in flowing feeling (Cancer) aligns with deep sensitivity this week (trine Neptune in Pisces), mind reflective (Mercury retrograde), with earthy energy (opposite Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn) and passionate expression of revolutionary wisdom (Mars in Leo square Uranus in Taurus).  Moon in loving Libra Mon/Tues, Scorpio intensity Wed/Thurs, philosophical Sagittarius Friday for the weekend.  Powerful first full moon of summer (in Capricorn) Tues 7/16. 

Sunday 7/7/19--Mercury retrograde

At a time of sensitivity (Sun in Cancer), Mercury turns retrograde for a few weeks (4:15pm PT, til 8/1), mind backtracking, internalizing, undermining momentum with reflection. Nothing wrong with this (encourages mental depth) if we are flexible, go with changes.

Tuesday 7/2/19--Cancer new moon

Ten days since the Sun moved over the top of our seasonal cycle, the Moon finally joins it (Venus tomorrow), completing the solstice shift of built-up potential to flowing release in sensitive Cancer (new moon 12:16pm PT).  With earthy energy (Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Uranus in Taurus), tender feeling (Neptune in Pisces), and emerging healing activated by amplified passion (Chiron in Aries, Mars and Mercury in Leo, Jupiter in Sagittarius).  A summer of ripening developments.

At the new moon on Christmas, a powerful year of grounded realism and constructive renewal begins (Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto in Capricorn), led by revolutionary wisdom for natural living (Uranus in Taurus).

Monday 7/1/19

Moon at the top of our seasonal roller coaster in mental Gemini, ready to join the Sun in flowing feeling Cancer (6:24pm PT), new moon tomorrow (12:16pm PT), completing the shift to release of built-up potential.
