Astrology highlights for the week of July 24, 2022:
00:49 – This week's theme is: Facing your fears! Celeste pulled a card from the Oracle of Mystical Moments deck, #13: Morning Dew Girl. (Here's Celeste's Amazon storefront!)
02:54 – The three big things for this week are: First, it's the week of the Warrior Woman! Venus (women, love, beauty, relationships) is in Cancer and contra parallel Pluto (destruction, power, obsession, transformation, corruption) in Capricorn: It's an aspect by declination that has been running for weeks. Also, Jupiter (truth, law) is parallel to Diana (goddess the huntress), an asteroid associated with predation and protection. Additionally, the Sun is conjunct asteroid Isis (a central goddess in Egyptian mythology; the sister and wife of Osiris). She is associated with healing and restoration, as well as fragmentation vs. wholeness. Celeste ponders this energy and makes comparisons to Liz Cheney. So keep your eyes open for women standing up against authority! Or use this energy to watch the movie Norma Rae! To learn more about parallels and contraparallels, lend your ears to Episode 10, "Cancer New Moon: The Sweet Smell of Success."
08:01 – Second, the Leo New Moon is on Jul 28 at 5 degrees Leo! The Sun is in its domicile here, where it can be creative, life-giving, joyful, and expressive. Set intentions about what you'd like to do in your own life to think big and create joy! There is a fixed t-square with Mercury (18 Leo) square Uranus and the North Node (NN) in Taurus; of course, Mercury is also square the South Node in Scorpio too! We may get an idea of what will happen next week when Uranus conjuncts the NN and Mars meet them on July 31/Aug 1. Celeste offers some thoughts about how this may play out on the world stage. Note that as Mars approaches the conjunction with Uranus, the energy builds, often before the actual day. And if you'd like, do join Celeste's Leo New Moon Intention Setting Workshop on Jul 24!
11:30 – Third, Jupiter in Aries stations retrograde (Rx) from July 28 to Nov 23! Jupiter rules abundance, including wealth, good fortune, morality, truth, faith, the search for meaning, justice, confidence, and optimism, as well as mundane topics such as travel, lawsuits, and higher education. A Rx planet cannot do its job as effectively. In horary astrology, this could signify delays and reversal of fortune. Planning and good luck can slow down. This energy will be felt more strongly five days before and after the exact station.
14:02 – On Sunday, the word of the day is MODERATION. The balsamic Moon is at 16 Gemini at 7:52 am. Relax and release. Watch out for desires to escape.
16:06 – On Monday, the theme is METHODICAL. The Moon enters Cancer at 10:53 am PT. Please don't push yourself too hard as we are in the dark of the Moon cycle. Listen to your body and intuition. Drink lots of water and consider a bath.
16:58 – Tuesday's focus is PRIDE. Be brave, share your accomplishments and take a risk.
18:19 – On Wednesday, the word is PATHFINDER. The Moon enters Leo at 11:37 pm PT. How can you be a map maker and chart your course? Have confidence in yourself!
19:51 – On Thursday, the theme is SELF-EXPRESSION. The New Moon is at 5 Leo at 10:54 am PT. Jupiter stations retrograde at 8 Aries. Set intentions for what you want to grow in your life for joy. What is your big vision? How can you improve your leadership skills?
21:27 – On Friday, the focus is CHILL. There is the potential for surprising news. Pause and take a deep breath before reacting.
22:16 – On Saturday, the word is JOYFUL. The Moon enters Virgo at 11:10 am PT. An excellent day for decluttering and organizing. Whistle while you work.
