We recorded this one just outside Royal Windsor, after having cake at Madame Posh Tea Room — appropriately blingtastic for that most regal sign, Leo. Enjoy! And don’t forget that you can sign up to receive the in depth written horoscopes, here.

A First Quarter Square between the Libra Moon and Cancer Sun (27 deg) also includes the Sun’s opposition to Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn.
Here is a point of tension that asks you to find a balance between extremes. Needs or family issues that are rooted in the past may be challenged by emerging taboos (sexual or otherwise) that confront you with what lies outside the comfort zone. Lilith is the force on the fringes – she is not accepted by polite society, and this also gives her power. Cancer is cozy, familiar and traditional. The mother. BML is the anti-mother: the disruptor that challenges family dynamics or forces you to acknowledge some “unacceptable” needs.
Libra harmonizes. This may be the last thing you want to do, but the First Quarter Square is about taking a step forward and the only way it can be accomplished is to find that point of compromise. You’re not giving in or glossing over the issue with a polite smile, you’re acknowledging that there are two side to this story; the side that’s always been and the newly disruptive force. Both are valid. Is a union between the two possible?
Find that balance and there’s your key to progressing through the crisis.

updated from 2007. Researchers have found that low self-esteem and materialism are not just a correlation, but also a causal relationship where low self esteem increases materialism, and materialism can also create low self-esteem. The also found that as self esteem increases, materialism decreases. The study primarily focused on how this relationship affects children and […]

The July 27th Full Moon eclipse at 4 deg Aquarius (4:20 PM EDT/1:20 PM PDT) conjoins Mars Rx. It will be connected to any events triggered by Mars’ preceding conjunctions with the South Node (June 8th and July 20th) and Mars’ future South Node conjunction (September 6th, 2018).
Mars Rx opposing the Leo Sun means this is the halfway point of Mars’ retrograde cycle. Whatever Mars Rx has been stirring up so far will be clarified under the light of this Full Moon – this eclipse will be a turning point regarding efforts to detach from the past or intensify actions to bring something to culmination. There will be nothing passive about what happens. You may have to act quickly, or maybe you’ll be pushed to redo/revisit (Mars Rx).
Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) will square this eclipse from Taurus, adding a shot of unpredictability. Endings/goodbyes/results will hit suddenly. Uranus/Aquarius’ theme of liberation will be emphasized – consider any sharp turn of events to be a necessary break from the past. Clarity will be thrust upon you, as well as freedom. If results are severe enough, this won’t feel like freedom. Rest assured that it is.
The Sun (ruler of the North Node-path forward) trines Chiron Rx in Aries (ruled by Mars), underlining the point that what’s happening is necessary and may ultimately be a relief. The confrontation or breakaway will help you move through what makes you afraid or vulnerable. It may even boost your confidence. For some, this could be a crazy leap into the unknown that is part of your new agenda of radical healing. Again, that Mars theme – courage, action, anger, doing something definitive. Chiron and Mars are both Rx, so maybe you’re finally confronting a painful issue that’s been simmering for awhile.
Also encouraging: we have an exact trine between Venus in Virgo and Pluto Rx in Capricorn on July 27th, just a few hours after the eclipse. There will be practical empowerment happening in the background- a gentle strengthening of what you know is right and good for you.
Mars’ inclusion and the square to Uranus does hint at the potential for accidents or violence, so use caution. Venus in Virgo’s activation means you can be smart about what’s happening – you’ll know what’s right and what isn’t. There’s a difference between liberation and destruction, and even if some of what happens is out of your control, you can sill formulate a backup plan now (since you know something’s coming at you).
Be safe, be smart and get ready for change.
