What Astrology is going on this week ....

This Week:

We start this week  in Crescent Phase of the Cancer lunar cycle.

As a reminder, each phase of the moon, of which there are eight, lasts about three and half days.  The phases each have their own energy and they are:

New - action

Crescent - receive information

First Quarter- action

Gibbous -refinement, finding what we may have missed

Full- exposure - balance -action

Disseminating- sharing information

Last Quarter- final actions 

Balsamic- release- let go

Crescent is when we receive information from the actions that we took on New Moon.    Our emotions were up from July 4-July 7.  How did it play out?  How did you ride the waves?  How did you plant seeds that spoke to your roots?  Or your family?  Or things that mean much to you?  How did you go with the flow?   Now we get information.   Are we getting flak?   Are we getting support?   How does it impact the seeds planted?   Do you dig in harder?  Do you adjust?    Here are more things to ponder.

Crescent Moon Phase

Started July 7

9:08pm EDT  

Focus on: What details are you learning?   How do those details speak to your emotions?   What small things are you learning and how do they respond to your family of origin?   How is your daily life in sync with your emotional roots?  Or how is it not? And why not?

Special Focus:

7/10:  Mercury/Mars.   A rush of words.  A rush of communication.  The brain is on fire.   “Do it now” coursing through the brain.  Take a breath, please.  

7/11:   Mercury/Uranus:  Fighting words.  Getting into it with someone, but why?   Are you breaking out?  Are you breaking through?  Or are you just holding onto something stupid?

What are you learning about your beliefs?  How have you forgotten your education?  What have you neglected about traveling?  How is going out there in the big wide world and bringing in something ‘foreign’ helpful?
