Mars in Leo conjunct Juno (20 deg)
Passion and motivation fuel a relationship agreement. Commitment is based on pride in the partnership; there may be an agreement to act as one in order to succeed, gain attention or celebrate. A commitment can be based on the courage to stand at the centre of things and boldly declare yourselves.
This energy is about actively creating a union, or stepping out publicly and with loyalty. You’re more powerful as a united front.

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.

Mars in Leo inconjunct Neptune Rx in Pisces (18 deg)
Neptune Rx in Pisces sextile Vesta in Taurus (18 deg)
Mars/Neptune shows the incompatibility between actions motivated by pride versus selfless impulses. You may be torn between wanting to push for attention when there’s a niggling suspicion that this isn’t quite enough. This can result in actions that are weakened or based in fantasy (you achieve recognition in your dreams but do nothing in the real world).
As with all inconjuncts, adjustment is key – act in the real world (in a passionate, public way) but don’t ignore the whisper of spirituality/belief. Channeled correctly, this energy is extremely creative, leading to some beautiful efforts that can trigger admiration for you, but also resonate on a purely artistic or spiritual level.
Vesta’s sextile to Neptune can help with the above, as Neptune’s impossible dream is grounded by focus (Vesta) on immediate realities: money, security, preservation. This is about reaching towards the fantasy and integrating it into your life. Vesta is the sacred flame, and Neptune elevates this – basic, physical issues (the body, your money) can become matters of divine focus (your temple) if you sanctify them with your devotion. This will require a willingness to believe that you are not trapped, that you can have more, that your dream can be made real. But also, that your security (and comfort) is pure and non-negotiable. Taurus reminds us that physical pleasure is essential, and there’s no reason why this can’t be sacred.
Both these aspects ask you to consider how you can combine the mundane with the elevated, and the highly subjective with the transpersonal.

Leo Sun trine Chiron Rx in Aries (5 deg)
Venus in Leo trine Ceres in Sagittarius (0 deg)
Sun/Chiron is healing through pride and courage. Putting yourself forward to celebrate your talents/take a risk are excellent antidotes for fear. But this energy blends confidence with empathy – you know what it’s like to hurt so your pride is infused with compassion. This aspect has considerable magnetism as people are drawn to your light and the heat of your healing.
Venus/Ceres is about love and nurturing expressed through passion, joy and hope for the future. The “mothering” vibe encourages freedom – grow what’s dramatic, obvious and exciting. You can attract others if you nurture your confidence and their confidence – Venus/Ceres brings out the best in others when care and affection are expressed openly, with no strings. In this case, your own flame must be stoked before you can spread that warmth.

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).
