Theme:   Energetic Creativity

A strong Sun Mars transit should give you a boost of energy to accomplish any projects you’ve had on the back burner. Mars and Saturn assist by adding patience and perseverance to complete the job.
Top that off with Mercury and Venus conjunct bringing unity with any team work, your day should be very enjoyable and filled with creative vision.

“ Creativity is contagious, pass it on.”
Albert Einstein

Theme: Transcendent Opportunity

The Moon moves into Taurus bringing much needed stability and calm for a few days. Finding contentment in stillness and nature is soothing.
Uranus trine Pluto has been affecting us for a few weeks and will continue until the end of the year. As they are both outer planets their movement is slow, allowing us to integrate their transformative energies more profoundly. This is time of heightened insight into your life bringing new perspective on a spiritual or philosophical level. An openness to learning may draw you to groups or systems to explore and give you the ability to transform your life.
“ The essence of love and compassion is understanding, the ability to recognize the physical, material and psychological suffering of others, to put ourselves “inside the skin “ of the other.”
Thich Nhat Hanh

Theme:  Be Like a Log

Mercury in Virgo square Mars in Gemini can trigger tension through critical comments either by you or to you. The potential of losing your temper is great and accentuated by Moon and Chiron conjunct in Aries.
This is like someone sticking a needle into an old wound to the point that you have little or no control over your reaction. Be very careful of verbal hostility and tension, do no harm.
Of course this may be played out on the world stage or a political level.

“ Thus, when enemies or friends are seen to act improperly, be calm and call to mind that everything arises from conditions.”
Shantideva

Theme:  Balancing the Scales

This is a time where opportunities can arise particularly professionally. If you’re offered a new job it should be very beneficial and allow you to leave behind previous limitations.
On the other hand the change can bring duty and responsibility as you leave behind a more carefree life. Either way there is a push/ pull effect in your life that is noticeable and workable.

“ The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.”
Benjamin Franklin

The Moon is Void of Course today from 6.14pm until 1.23pm EDT. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: On the Edge of New Frontiers

The Moon in Aquarius is conjunct Pluto which can bring intense emotional experiences on a mass level. The potential for change is great and even though relationships or circumstances may come to an end, the outcome can prove beneficial by deepening in maturity and commitment through challenges.
There may be some involvement with authorities or people in power, but if your motives are to benefit society and others the results will be rewarding.

“ Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”
Leo Tolstoy

Theme:  Brilliance and Persistence

Mercury and Uranus can provide you with a very  mentally stimulating and creative day. Thoughts and brilliant ideas tumbling quickly like a waterfall making a great splash but dissipating on impact.
Luckily Pluto and Mars work together to anchor the energy by bringing great willpower and focus to rebuild and reform what is important to you. Energy levels are higher than usual the next few days enabling you to work hard and persistently to achieve your goals.

“ The mind possesses a certain power of knowing. This is not knowledge itself, but illumination or the ability of consciousness that renders knowledge possible.”
Kalu Rinpoche

Theme:  Ho Hum

With the Moon virtually unaspected today you may well be feeling disconnected from your immediate environment and underwhelmed by events. Having been on overwhelm the last few weeks it may feel like whiplash, or just a relief.
Mercury is active and stimulating the Mars/ Uranus conjunction that is now weakening.
Expect to hear news, messages, communications that are surprising and unexpected, but as Mars is weakening as it moves away from Uranus there is less chance of violence or accidents.

“ Mindful observation is the element which nourishes the tree of understanding, compassion and love are the most beautiful flowers.”
Thich Nhat Hanh

The Moon is Void of Course today from 3.58am until 4.14am EDT. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme:  U Turn

The prominent transit today is a T- square between Venus, Pluto and the Moon, bringing a great deal of emotional volatility. There is a potential for conflict with or about others. Manipulation may be rife, so keep silent counsel and use this transit to turn inward. Contemplate the change you would like to see for yourself that obstructs depth in your relationships.

“ Turning inward is very simple. It is only since you have been looking outward for too long that turning inward appears far away.”
Sadhguru

Theme:  Mars conjunct Uranus

“ No other transit is more conducive than this one to sudden upsets, rash behavior and surprising incidents.”
Robert Hand. ( Astrologer)
The build up to major transits are often felt days , sometimes weeks before cresting and conjuncting each other (7/16), at which point there is a release of energy and an outer or inner experience will occur. How this impacts us is dependent on whether we have natal planets at that exact degree. In this case 26 degrees Taurus.
If you have planets between 24-28 degrees in Taurus, Scorpio,Leo or Aquarius this could be a very challenging time. Challenges will assist us and sometimes, force us to change, particularly if we are resistant.
Uranus has the role of waking us up from our deep slumber and because it is an outer planet it affects us more on a universal level than personal.
If we are open to change, this could be an inspiring time, particularly if we follow the path of least resistance.

The Moon is Void of Course today from 6.49pm until 10.53am (7/14) EDT.
Do not make any big decisions during this time period

Theme:  Let it Be

The Moon moves into Libra today and brings a strong sense of fairness. All sides are being weighed and pondered in many situations on a national and world level.
This transit can affect you on a personal level too. With Moon opposite Neptune it’s easy to feel confused and misunderstand issues at hand. If possible delay making any firm decisions until after the weekend.
Libra is a very social sign so it’s not all doom and gloom. Enjoy harmonious relations with good friends and let the clouds of doubt dissipate of their own accord.

“ Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than hanging on.”
Eckhart Tolle
