We’re moving way from the dramatic stage, to pave a stronger landscape during the weeks ahead. Less playing, more calculating. We’re attempting to get from point A, to point B. Less hoping and dreaming, with more serious work to reach goals this time. Creative Mars is getting ready to exit from the passionate fires of […]

Hungry to Set Ourselves on Fire
Last week’s fiery Leo New Moon/Solar Eclipse was the main cosmic event. Did you feel it’s burn? And if so, how are you experiencing it’s scorching effects? Sensitivities and feelings became intense, as well as magnified and chaotic. This energy will continue to sizzle over the next three to six months, helping to create major […]

Partisan Politics: How To Solve The Problem
This is a post from my other blog, The Aquarian Paradigm, that also fits the subject matter here as well. If you haven’t checked it out yet, I highly recommend that you do so, as its purpose is to explain why the events that are
August 26th, 2017: Crucial Facts
- Sun conjunct Mercury Rx: 3 degrees Virgo
- Juno stations direct: 2 degrees Capricorn
The Sun/Mercury inferior conjunction is the midpoint of Mercury’s retrograde. You’re still in the revising/reviewing zone, but an important truth should be illuminated. The inferior conjunction is a new beginning in the Sun/Mercury cycle. The superior conjunction (June 21st, 2017 at 0 degrees Cancer) was a culmination – the two dates may be connected.
Juno direct is trines the Sun/Mercury conjunction, and this suggests progress for relationship contracts and agreements. Mercury Rx’s second look can reveal a key fact that solidifies a commitment.
Note that Juno will make two exact trines to Mercury in Virgo:
- Mercury Rx on August 27th
- Mercury direct on September 13th

August 10th, 2017: Harmony and Tricky Moments
- Sun in Leo sextile Jupiter in Libra: 18 degrees
- Mars in Leo inconjunct Neptune in Pisces: 13 degrees
- Mercury in Virgo sextile Venus in Cancer: 11 degrees
- Vesta in Virgo trine Pallas in Taurus: 11 degrees
A mostly harmonious day, with a moment that might trip you up.
Sun/Jupiter is bold and optimistic – things will work out because you feel confident, and confidence will be buoyed by the sense that things will work out. Win-win. Good for attracting favourable attention. However, Mars/Neptune is a caution. For the most part, you’ll be on target, but you can stumble (via misguided actions) if you’re not paying attention. What you’ve been ignoring can weaken your efforts.
Mercury/Venus suggests sweet words that are practical and empathetic. For example, the solution that’s presented with sensitivity, or gentle advice. Excellent if you have to point out an error or deliver a critique – you can phrase it so it almost sounds like a compliment.
Meanwhile, Vesta/Pallas is about devotion to a basic solution that can be used easily and immediately. It’s not a quick fix (results will take time) but it should be easy to access and implement. Vesta picks out a specific detail or problem, and Pallas supplies the stable strategy to address it. Healing and improvements will be visible.
Aspects to Virgo help you address the problem, while aspects to Leo reassure you that it can be fixed. Just keep your eyes on Mars/Neptune – don’t ignore the questionable action.

August 2nd, 2017: Mercury Conjunct Vesta In Virgo
- Mercury conjunct Vesta in Virgo: 7 degrees
Vesta’s ultra-focus combines with Mercury’s communication/information. One topic of conversation/piece of information will be the sacred flame. Maybe you obsess over the little thing they said. Maybe you drill into a research paper/article/book as you dedicate yourself to finding a solution. Perhaps you become obsessed with proving your point.
This energy can be used for good or ill, depending on the focus. The big picture will be impossible to see. The critique may be the only thing you hear. Sometimes this is necessary. Sometimes it’s limiting. Consider what fact you’re devoting yourself to.
