Do you remember the distraction that happened a few months ago? What we imagined to be our purpose,… where we thought we were going… and the rude intrusion that fell onto our path; was cosmically guiding us onto another road. Since this awkward sense of footing, we’ve been learning how to get back on our […]

July 31st, 2019: Mercury Direct With a Spot of Tension

Mercury stations direct (23 deg Cancer)
Mars in Leo square Vesta in Taurus (18 deg)
Pluto Rx in Capricorn square Pallas in Libra (21 deg)
Mercury
Mercury stationed Rx on July 7th, but on July 31st its retrograde ends at 11:57 PM EDT. Watch for clarity, progress and direct communication of all emotional (Cancer) matters. It should be easier to talk about what you need or make decisions, even if they’re saturated in subjective feelings.
Mars/Vesta
Actions (Mars) based on pride or attention will conflict with the focus (Vesta) on security. You may feel blocked from fully putting yourself out there due to rigid devotion to what’s safe and predictable. Then again, bold (or pushy) actions may conflict with saving money and preserving what’s essential. The solution to this crisis is deciding what’s important to hang onto versus what demands expression or a bit of risk.
Pluto/Pallas
Pallas in Libra is balanced strategies (usually involving a one-on-one relationship) but when she is challenged by Pluto there can be attempts to manipulate that throw off the balance. Consider where there’s pressure find a solution or if you’re obsessing about making it work/winning to the point where you shut things down. The enforced solution doesn’t benefit anyone.

Romancing Our Inner Fire | Starcana Cosmic Dirt
The energy is a bit unstable this week under the rebellious Sun/Uranus square on Monday July 29, with a finicky Venus/Uranus square on Friday August 2. We can experience an exciting shift or a clumsy happening on our individual path, in our relationships and personal finances. Expect the unexpected, as there is a change in […]
July 24th, 2019: What Really Matters

Last Quarter Square between the Taurus Moon and Leo Sun (1 deg)
Mercury Rx in Cancer conjunct Venus (26 deg)
The Last Quarter Square can see you questioning what’s showy/obvious as more solid (and perhaps boring things) nudge your awareness. What you can rely on, or what you already have, is worth taking note of – the contrast between this and what’s shouting for attention can reveal important questions about your financial security or values. Back to basics is important.
Mercury Rx conjunct Venus (which rules Taurus) hi-lights the question of values, money or self-esteem. Taking a second look at what you want and need, or revisiting a message/messenger from the past can uncover beneficial information. This aspect can deliver good news, but in the context of the Third Quarter Square, it will also involve deeper questions about what you want/love. This is about more than pleasant words – there’s a clarification of what really matters. If you’re having an important conversation, choose your words carefully for maximum emotional resonance. Go for quiet attraction over drama.

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.

July 21st, 2019: Dark Truths

Watch for some uncomfortable truths to be revealed. Sun/Mercury is the midpoint of the Mercury’s Rx, so emotional facts/info should be illuminated. You may gain an understanding of family issues/issues from the past. Or, the return to a past conversation can reveal a truth that you feel and understand.
Venus/Pluto adds an intense conclusion to the above. Pluto unearths dark compulsions, fears, obsessions or desires that lie behind Venus’ money, relationship or self-esteem issues. There can also be a profound “death” in one of these situations. The greater the attraction (or the more powerful the ending) the greater the transformation potential. Venus in Cancer wants safety and comfort, but Pluto insists on pushing things outside the comfort zone.
Oppositions also suggest projection, so these aspects can reveal some interesting facts about what you think you want – often, someone embodies what you need to develop within yourself, and your all-consuming obsession with them is simply a reflection of this.
It may feel as if what you want or have is wrapped up in primal, childhood dynamics. Power/domination can create unbalanced relationships with one partner as parent and the other as child. The Sun/Mercury conjunction will reveal a truth about these dynamics, so keep your eyes open.
