July 23rd, 2019: A Day Of Growth
Photo by Dương Nhân from Pexels
Leo Sun trine Ceres in Sagittarius (0 deg)
Saturn Rx in Capricorn trine Vesta in Taurus (16 deg)
Ceres in Sag is the optimistic nurturing of something new – an idealistic drive for freedom that is encouraged. Harmonizing with the Sun suggests purpose and pride in this goal. Putting your faith in the growth of adventure, learning or exploration. Having the freedom to express yourself (or encouraging someone to express themselves). Ceres is primarily associated with mother’s nurturing, food and the cycle of life/loss, but this aspect would seem to indicate the growth portion of the cycle.
Saturn/Vesta is grounded focus on what’s real. Money, resources, values and self-esteem can be confirmed and quietly built through work and maturity. Saturn and Vesta indicate focus, and when they combine there is an ultimate fixation on one area. This is about taking your security seriously.
We have two different but complimentary versions of growth. Ceres in Sag is about possibilities while Vesta in Taurus is what you have to work with. Both can increase with confidence (Sun in Leo) and discipline (Saturn).

Leo Season: You Have The Power
The Sun enters Leo on July 22nd at 10:50 PM EDT. This is the season of pride, joy, power and courage – the courage to fully express who you are and take pride in that. Leo’s power comes from the fire of conviction that you are the best/the leader/the centre. Whether or not you feel this about yourself, the vibe of Leo season is a good time to take stock of what you’re proud of, what empowers you and what brings you joy.
Leo is famously selfish and generous. And here we have the essence of distorted and healthy Leo. The distortion arises when ego is threatened and there are childish demands for attention. But the highest expression of this sign is unforced generosity, megawatt charm and romance – you just know you’re exceptional so others bask in your glow. And this in turn attracts more of the adoring audience because there are no rages or self-pitying dramas to repel people. Yes, focusing on how no one appreciates you is selfish – you’re turned inwards, to the exclusion of all else.
This is not meant to invalidate your crises or traumas. We all go through periods where we need to lick our wounds and shut out the world: this is essential for healing. But there is a season for everything and Leo season will illuminate areas where you have the power to show others what you’ve got, and where you can extricate yourself from situations that disempower you. The Sun rules this sign, so its light has never been brighter. If the spotlight seems harsh (you feel rejected, suppressed, cast out) consider why that is.
The Leo area of your chart will be lit up – it’s where you have something to create, celebrate or show off. Yes, really, even if it’s a seemingly small thing. What brings you joy? What are you proud of? Don’t compare yourself to what others are doing, just shine your own light.
Here are the aspects the Sun will make:
Jul 23rd: trine Ceres in Sagittarius (0 deg)
Jul 28th: trine Chiron Rx in Aries (5 deg)
Jul 29th: square Uranus in Taurus (6 deg)
Jul 31st: New Moon in Leo (8 deg)

July 22nd, 2019: Goodbye to Cancer Season With a Disseminating Trine

Disseminating Trine between the Pisces Moon and Cancer Sun (29 deg)
Just before the Sun enters Leo, it forms a Disseminating Trine with the Moon (4:34 AM EDT). The watery harmony between Pisces and Cancer encourages a gentle, emotional connection – personal (Cancer) blends with transpersonal (Pisces), allowing you to empathize with almost anyone via issues that were previously exclusive and subjective. Pisces also enables release – things that seemed so hurtful and personal are easy to let go of, like water through your fingers.
Others will understand, or you’ll make an instinctive connection to someone without even trying. This is a natural vibe that’s good for sharing what you feel, especially regarding family or nostalgic matters. It’s also a lovely way to finish off Cancer season.
