This Astrological Week

We are moving in last half of the Cancer lunar cycle.  How have been your emotions for three weeks?   Up and down?   Join the club.   It has been quite a month.    On Saturday we move into  disseminating where we will be processing faith and intuition.    On the 26th we move into last quarter moon where the emotions will no doubt be pushed again.   Actions based on building something up.   Actions based on money and resources will also be accented. And of course there will be tension around stubbornness.     On the 29th Mars gets into it with Mercury so the accent will be on harsh sharp words and impulsive actions.    Bleh.    On the 29th Uranus turns retrograde for its annual move backwards.  We will be once again going back to the well for five months looking for breakthroughs and break outs.   Then on the 30th we go into balsamic, ready to release our cuckoo monkey brain and nervous energy.  

Disseminating

July 23: 2016

8:34 am EDT

Disseminating: Share information; find a teacher or someone who has more knowledge. Perhaps there was a big ol’ blow out on the full and one feels in need of support and help, this is the phase to reach out to one who knows more. This is when we find a rabbi or a minister or therapist who gives us more insight.   And of course, you too may be ready to teach and share your own information.  

Focus on:  How are you sharing your faith?  How are you sharing your spirituality?  How are you sharing religion?  How are you finding a spiritual guide? How are you accessing your intuition?

Last Quarter Moon Phase

July 26

6:59pm EDT

Last Quarter moon:  Now we do the final adjustments to the seeds we planted on new. The final call, the final letters to send, we follow all the trails that came up that still make sense.  And we let the other parts lay fallow. It is a time of action but wise action.  It is a time for living  “The serenity prayer”

God, grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change Courage to change the
things I can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference.

Focus on:

What actions can you take that build on something stable?  What actions can you take that are solid and practical?   What actions can you take that ground you?   How are you finding inner strength bit by bit?

Special focus:

7/27: Mercury/Uranus: Brilliant thinking.  Creative, dynamic conversations.   A little bit of fun chaos. 

7/28: Sun/Jupiter:  Watch over indulgences.   Including opinions and ego.

7/29: Mercury/Mars:  Watch the comments.  Watch the shouting. Watch the driving.  Watch the outbursts.  

7/29: Uranus retrograde ( separate post)

Balsamic Moon Phase

July 30, 2016

4:32 am EDT

Balsamic:   We let go.  By releasing we can prepare for the new. 

Focus on We release our ADHD.  We release our flakiness.  We release our shallowness. We release our fickle.  We release our anxiety. 

Special focus:

7/30:  Mercury enters Virgo

7/31: Venus/Uranus.  Fun, playfulness.  Joy and creativity. Liberation.  Love, money and values feel electrified.
