On-Going June Astrological Affects:
- Sun In Cancer
Most affected will be Cancer and Leo.
The energies of the divine feminine on the planet will rule supreme until July 22nd. The Summer’s Solstice appears with the meaning behind the strength and the depth of the feminine quality in all people. With Jupiter in Pisces this year, the ocean, the element of water and all water creatures are seen or experienced more often. This includes the water Undines, a mermaid, a merman or two. Leos may feel like retreating into their lair. For Everyone: The Summer Solstice brings in the new of the season. Nurturing ourselves and with others with good meals, a cozy home, is good. Visiting a parent or bringing out your nurturing side is a plus now. Be aware of over-emotional displays in your communications, or over-reacting. Best to loosen your grip on your holding on to materialism, people and outdated thoughts. With all of your important pursuits: look forward, avoid the temptation to turn back.
- Affects From The Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn, June 26
Most affected will be the earth signs, especially Capricorn then Cancer, Libra and Aries. A Lunar Eclipse is a Super-Full Moon. This particular eclipse is a part of a major planetary alignment for 2010. For Everyone: The affects will continue to be felt through the next six months. It is important that whatever we undertake during this time is that we make it real, with honest intent rather than with a fluff, false attempt. We will be more sensitive to our real feelings and needs and may choose to make bold changes. It is possible now for extraordinary developments in our understanding of metaphysics, higher consciousness, our Universe. Expect major earth shifts, unrest due to the imbalanced lead by warmongers, negative attitudes. Expect big changes in business, commerce. As always, positive messages in your meditation for the good of all in your Life, for the good of all mankind. As we look at humanity, we are viewing through a dirty window. This, which will make us want to wash it clean in preparation for a new day to come.
- July 5 Uranus Turns Retrograde in Aries
Most Affected will be Aquarius, Aries and Cancer.
This transit will continue until December 5, 2010. Aquarius may revisit their fire sign friends. Aries may experience some action in moving ideas into a pro-creative process. Cancers will find this to feel like a home-base for preparing a new direction in career improvements. For Everyone: Although Uranus likes to move slowly, progress can continue. True, and bold changes that have begun from the recent Lunar Eclipse are now able to succeed. A time when the world will begin to open up to new innovations and inventions.
Week of July 8 - 14 Astrological Affects:
- July 9 Mercury Enters Leo
Most affected are Leo, Gemini, Virgo and Cancer.
This affect will last until July 27. Leos spin into verbal marathons, exceed their own expectations at expressing their mind and emotions while being inspired by the word of a Virgo or Gemini. Gemini, be careful of “hot air” exchanges as you strive for clever conversation. Virgo, this is not a time to be shy as you will have more fun by articulating your feelings. Cancer may be the chef who expresses him or herself best in the classic way of telling him or her how you feel in the message seen in the presentation created by your culinary talents. For Everyone: Time to learn fast. You may broaden your perspective by acting on curious impulses; just remember to get permission first. Let your guard down and be open to invitations by you or from another.
- July 10 Venus Enters Virgo
A romantic and creative time for Virgo. The signs of Libra, Taurus and Cancer will figure more prominently for Virgo until August 6. Your self-confidence strengthens and your will have more social appeal. This will be the most creative period of the year for you. However, as when Venus is in any sign of the Zodiac, this is a time that the senses may be heightened as well. For Virgo, careful not to start what you cannot finish oMr commit to. Exercise and refresh yourself: Early morning or early evening speed walking will have you feeling your best. Mountain hiking or taking pictures, viewing Mother nature may inspire you. Keep to your smaller portions on your plate. For Everyone: Perfection is seen and found in Mother nature, best not to micro-manage your loved ones. Try your best not to be over critical, or over analyze a potential situation or person. Yes, you are good enough.
- July 11 Cancer New Moon, Solar Eclipse
Most affected are Cancer, all Water Signs then Leo
A Solar Eclipse is a Super-New Moon. For Cancer, a new beginning. Meditate on the positive, the new that has come into your Life or ask the Universe now for the new to appear. Remember to ask for what you need, not for what you want. For Everyone: This is a less emotional event for some people and for others a time to begin constructive action. If family values and issues have risen to the brim, this will be the time to sit down and look at possible resolutions. Respect for all things that matter in the material, physical world as the divine, sacred Mother energy is what nourishes, is what calms and protects us. Another way your energy can be seen is your image reflected in water. How do wish to reflect? A reflection of unhappiness or a reflection of joy ?
