Three planets Retrograde in step Astrology

Zodiac Man, Michele da Rodi / Public domain

“As above, so below” is the old Hermetic maxim. But this time it’s more like “here we are, they’re following us.”

As the world is still in quarantine lockdown unable to move forward now, three planets SATURN, VENUS AND JUPITER all turn RETROGRADE within 4 days of each other in step May 10-14th. We, the world and these three planets are all turning back time and not moving forwards.

Be careful what you wish for. 21 Pilots hit song “stressed out” lyrics “If I could turn back time, to the good old days.” has come true. You see the power of the WORD. We won’t feel so alone now with father time Saturn, Beautiful sexy artistic Venus and wise-cracking optimist Jupiter in the crib.

DO NOT PANIC!

Retrogrades are not to be feared. That fearmongering Fishing clickbait is BS.

Rx is the Retrograde symbol, meaning it is good medicine. Remember everything starting with RE is a clue and a key to how to work all retrograde periods with any planet..Retrogrades are times to Reflect, Renew, Reuse, Regain, Release, Renegotiate, Redact, conversations, ideas communications, and old loves may return under Venus Retrograde . Be sure you won’t regret it.

They are all “personal planets.” Saturn, the ringed planet of REALITY, hard knocks, limitations, maturity, Father Time, the Grim reaper goes backwards from AQUARIUS to CAPRICORN.

GEMINI and CAPRICORN are directly aspected. TAURUS and LIBRA affected by Venus rulership and, SAGITTARIUS and PISCES by Jupiter rulership are the main signs affected. But we are all affected. 

VENUS planet of love, women, money and beauty, always the big fave turns RETROGRADE in GEMINI sign of the noncommital lovers, then Bountiful JUPITER does the backstep in Capricon.

As some states and countries may be opening up the quarantine’s from Covid-19 I simply don’t see it with all this Retrograde action. Venus’ Retrograde is the shortest and only happens once every 19 months but is the most personally meaningful. Jupiter and Saturn turn Retrograde for many months every year.

This is an overview  and I will write more in-depth about VENUS and JUPITER Retrograde shortly

Saturn Retrograde May 10/11 to September 29

From 1+ degree 57 AQUARIUS MAY 10 @ 9:09 pm PDT/May 11 @ 12:09 AM edt AND 5:09 AM GMT to 25 DEGREES 20 minutes Capricorn

Saturn has been in its pre-Retro Shadow period since February 3/4 just when Covid-19 news was coming out and Saturn won’t  be in the clear of its Retro shadow January 3^rd/4th 2021

All CAPRICORN’S born JANUARY 16/17 to January 21st/22nd will feel the transit the most as Saturn steamrolls back over those degrees. Any sign with Capricorn and Aquarius planets at these degrees on their RISING, NODES etc will also feel the effects the strongest and personally

Saturn the hard task masker, Father Time, the Grim Reaper, ruler of seniors, testing, obstacles and limitations, depression, heaviness has only given us an Aquarian appetizer since entering the airy hi-tech humanitarian sign on March 21. Many of us have lost elder relatives with Covid-19 as Saturn Retrogrades we may revisit our grief which is healthy and remember its ok to be sentimental. Many people are struggling with depression and suicide. I urge you to reach out to a hotline if you are feeling things are too hard to bear.

Saturn rules history the earth and new archeological discoveries may be uncovered or unravelled. 

On July 1st Saturn re-enters CAPRICORN coinciding with Canada’s birthday and Canada may be in for some very hard times indeed economically and politically. Aquarius and Capricorn are under Saturn’s cold handed and hearted rulership. Saturn makes us take responsibility, it rules careers, long term goals, and patience. We will review our long term goals and use of TIME, while Saturn is Retrograde. Saturn has been teaching us all about patience and many are worrying about how they will persist.

As Saturn re-enters Capricorn again we will retrace where we have been. We may be shocked to remember how much our lives have changed. It feels like life during wartime came out of the blue and the enemy is invisible. The only story on the news is Covid-19. What was supposed to be two weeks is now almost two months of quarantine worldwide? Saturn has crashed the markets, driven up unemployment and bankruptcies and created job losses for millions of people worldwide in an unprecedented way. We must REmember what we took for granted every day, We must Remember what our “normal” lives were like and not forget. Saturn rules the bones and our ancestors its important to connect to the wisdom of the elders and to respect the ancestors who made it possible for us to be surviving now. Arthritic problems and knees especially are Saturnine.

Saturn is associated with fascism and dictatorships and his conjunction with Powerful Pluto on January 12 predicated the Covid-19 virus along with Neptune in Pisces. Pluto also Retrograde now since April 25 takes us deeper into the collective shadows in the world. Absolute power and control using any ruthless means are what Saturn and Pluto are really all about. So let’s take stock of what the hell has been going on. Saturn is reality and our reality needs a good review. At the end of September as Saturn turns Direct freedom and responsibility our ours to take.

VENUS RETROGRADE  May 13 to June 25

VENUS RULES TAURUS & LIBRA  THIS IS A NO-FLY ZONE FOR WEDDINGS 

MAY 13 @ 2:44 AM EDT @ 21 GEMINI 50’ TURNS RETROGRADE

JUNE 25@ 2:47 AM EDT @ 05 GEMINI 20’ TURNS STATIONARY DIRECT

-APRIL 9 @ 4:53 PM EDT @ 5 GEMINI 20’ VENUS ENTERS Rx SHADOW

JULY 29 @ 1:14 AM EDT @ 21 GEMINI 50’ VENUS LEAVES Rx SHADOW

VENUS is also Out of BOUNDS at her most Northerly OUT OF BOUNDS declination. This means Venus is really a free spirit and doing her own thing. How Gemini like. 

All GEMINI’S born May 26 until June 12 will feel Venus Retrograde the most. The Planet of Love Retrogrades all over these degrees touching each one. Gemini’s will be redeciding which way they want their hearts and minds to go all over again and again and again. Venus rules love and during her Retrograde old emotional wounds may be reopened, reminding us of old lovers and we may reminisce about this.

ALL SIGNS with planets, Ascendant, Nodes at those degrees of GEMINI will feel the effects most personally in those parts of their Natal charts. Venus rules TAURUS and LIBRA and your sign will be feeling the Backwards Venus review the most too. Pay attention to Taurus and Libra planets and where you natal Venus is. 

GEMINI rules the lungs and Covid-19 is all about the lungs. Gemini also rules the two halves of our brains. Gemini is the symbol associated with the Tarot Trump CARD The Lovers #6

VENUS RETROGRADE can indicate old lovers returning. Old mysterious texts from ex’s may mysteriously reappear. You cant stop thinking about that conversation, especially if you didnt get completion.

The last time Venus was Retrograde in Gemini close to these degrees was in 2012 when VENUS made a very rare occultation of the SUN. It won’t happen again in our lifetime. This Venus Retrograde could pick up threads from where we were then.

As Mercury rules Gemini it’s a good time to review your marketing plan, website blog or socoal media. Also review your love life plan, what do you want in love? Gemini’s tend to be noncommittal its time to talk to your heart about what it wants. And rethink how what and why you communicate and think as you have been.  Are you conversing comes from your heart or your head? Are you loving what runs through your head? We are all brainwashed since we were born. Time to, dump the computer your brain, and prep it for a fresh way of thinking, questioning and seeing the world. 

MERCURY enters GEMINI on May 11th joining Venus Retrograde on May 22 on a NEW MOON in GEMINI that is an important date as Mercury also Squares NEPTUNE Venus ‘s HIgher octave that dates too.  This may be a day of very sharp insights, inquiring minds and hearts want to know. 

 

JUPITER RETROGRADE’S MAY 14 to SEPTEMBER 12

MAY 14 @ 27 degrees 14 mins. CAPRICORN -September 13 @ 17 degrees 24 MINUTES 

JUPITER pre-shadow is February 19 at 17 degrees +

JUPITER is finally free December 6 at 27+ Capricorn

ALL Capricorns born January 8th to January 18th will feel Jupiter’s Retro effects the strongest.  Any planets, Rising, Nodes, asteroids, Chiron etc, in CAPRICORN at those degrees will be affected the most 

As Jupiter rules the SAGITTARIUS SOUTH NODE its Retrograde period is important.

There will be a Lunar Eclipse JUNE 5th at 15 SAGITTARIUS  to pay attention to as its effects may be delayed in some ways.

JUPITER the GREAT BENEFACTOR the one who gives optimism, faith, grants, philosophy, bonuses, good humour, bailouts, expansion, International ventures, rules honesty, sports, animals and naivety, is moving Retrograde it will slow down the adventuring gypsy spirit and travelling, which has already been taking place, Education, civil and International laws, immigration, airlines.

JUPITER rules politics judges and laws. There may be a change in politics or a candidate and laws will be reviewed and changed during Jupiter Retrograde. Many political heads of state will change and roll too.

It’s time to listen to old comedians because we need to keep our humour up after being in quarantine for so long.  Dark humour may have a resurgence. Old teaching methods and historical reviews will be poured over for transparency and truth. Reflect on your philosophy. uts a good time to learn new things or reread something to see it in a new light. Online education will get an overhaul to meet new demands. Online sales and marketing may need a back to the drawing board review. Refrain from shopping and buying new big-ticket items while Jupiter is Retrograde. Some basic things we need but extravagant purchases should be stalled. Repurpose is the name of the game.

Aquarius Precious Blue Moon Meditation

Aquarius Precious Blue Moon Meditation July 31

a shorter version of this article was published on the Cosmic Intelligence Agency Site July 30

I am Agent 129 

The Sun is in Leo and the Moon in Aquarius indicating that this is a rare and revolutionary “bolt out of the blue” occasion to change and radically grow intellectually. Brilliant, unusual insights into our mind/body/emotions is what’s happening at this Full Moon. It may radically free and change us and humanity’s consciousness.

The Water Bearer, the 11^th sign, is an Air sign. Aquarius’s symbol shows higher consciousness as the stars as the waters of life. The Star in the Tarot, the 17^th Trump card shows this energy of the Goddess as the Stars, as cosmic vessels of divine light flowing down to the earth to quench our human cosmic desire to be connected with source.  

 We are bringing to light and completing lessons about our Light, ego, and sharing our riches, self-expression, our childlike ability to play, our passions and dramas, our leadership, our roles, our hearts,  our abilities to share power and our higher consciousness where we are all in fact ONE.

Doris Lessing, the late great British writer wrote a sci-fi series years ago. The first book was called  Shikasta, in the Canopus in Argos series. In it, the higher consciousness beings brought S.O.W.F. to the earthlings who were genetically created by Extra-Terrestrials. The acronym means Substance Of We Feeling. How Aquarian is that? We are bringing that S.O.W.F. in on this Full Moon.

Aquarius energy is like being struck by lightning. The Eureka moment when the big light bulb goes off in your mind. The double lines of lightning Aquarius’s glyph, symbolizing the waters of consciousness also signifies that you are the lightning bolt, the masculine inseminating Zeus/ Thunder God’s flash of insight, cosmic sperm and also the one being struck, like a bolt out of the blue, to awaken, to be awakened.

The term Blue Moon has become synonymous with a special rare moon, a gift, even though it occur quite regularly, once every two to three years it doesn’t happen every day.  Symbolically it signifies rare and precious occasions. .

The color blue always has spiritual connotations.  The rare and special Indigo children are the perfect example of Aquarius energy whose cosmic knowledge may be coming to the forefront to lead the world into a new spiritual technology and ways of living in a sacred manner.

Aquarius, the electric sign, is the sign of uniqueness, genius, higher consciousness, perspectives and revolutionary thinking.  Aquarius energy is groupthink, tribal mind and breaking fee from the old structures and limitations of Saturn {even though the cosmic cop rules both these signs traditionally}. Aquarius energy is initiating and inventive.

What comes to mind is a meditation on a blue jewel, a star sapphire, and the stone that denotes Saturn. The color blue is associated with the throat chakra, the 5^th one. It is the chakra of speech, the word, the origin of everything in the Universe. 

Full Moons bring conclusions. Think about previous the New Moons of other fixed signs Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius a year ago which have come to this Now.

The Tarot card that symbolizes Aquarius is the #17 the STAR

“Every man and every woman is a Star.”

  from the Goddess Tarot by Kris Waldherr

 The Goddess Tarot image shows the Goddess Inanna whose mythic story explains planet Venus’s journey into the Underworld when the blue Planet turns Retrograde which Venus is doing right now.

The number 17/ Aquarius the Star.

According to the Kabbalah the number 17 is ruled by Venus. Uranus, Aquarius’s ruling planet has just gone Retrograde and will turn Direct Christmas day at the 17^th degree. Every 17^th degree is considered to be under Venus’ rulership in any sign.  Seventeen is a number of looking for the spiritual Light in every sign.

AQUARIUS symbols

Ruler:  URANUS, modern astrology.

ANGEL; Umabel Angel of friendship

Colors: sky blue

Incense: Violet

Metal: Uranium

Gems: Turquoise, sugilite, moss agate, lapis lazuli, jasper,

Day of week: Wednesday

Flowers: orchids

Herbs; Rosemary, great for the mind. Use rosemary everywhere. Juniper is the red berry of the bush used to make gin. Juniper helps clear the mind of clutter.

Musical note: A sharp/B flat

Body: circulation, ankles and shins

Symbols and oracles for the 8^th degree of Aquarius

Omega Symbol

 “A man experiences much pain and discomfort as wings sprout on his back.”

You are in process of becoming your divine self, it may be painful as you go through the changes of completely becoming your divine self.

CHANDRA SYMBOL 

 “A book. The words in it keep changing.” 

The “book” is always our Book of life, our karma. Let go of expectations, that is the path to higher consciousness.  See things from multiple perspectives, see an 8 spoked wheel and see if you can articulate 8 ways of seeing the same thing. Be open minded and flexible in your thinking.

MEDITATION for the rare Blue Moon

If you’ve been doing previous Full Moon meditations gather the four candles, color related items and incense.

We are connecting with AIR and the stars. The Full Moon occurs in the middle of the night Pacific Time. Imagine you are under the Stars at night.

Smudge yourself first, cleanse the area you are in. Center yourself and BREATHE. Aquarius is AIR.

Light your four candles one by one starting in the East for fire, this is the cosmological system I use but if you are pagan you begin in the South with Fire. Always move clockwise, wherever you start. Call in the four elements and directions. Call in the Holy Guardian Angels and your own and the Angel of this Moon, Umabel {oomabell}.

Close your eyes. Go into your heart. Visualize a root chakra opening meditation; see previous instructions http://www.cosmicintelligenceagency.com/category/agent-129-tara-greene/

With your eyes open or closed look up into the vault of Heaven and see the sky filled with thousands of stars. Each star represents an ancestor watching over you. Every person is connected with a star. Seek out a star that attracts your attention. In your mind’s eye travel out from your crown chakra at the top of your head to this star. When you reach this Star you will have a higher perspective. Look back at the earth, a tiny blue planet on which seven billion individuals co-habit. See how tiny your issues are when faced with the vast expanse of Space.

From this higher perspective it is easy to detach from any emotions, people and situations that have been keeping you feeling stuck, stagnant or blind. Sense the freedom! The E.F.T. emotional freedom technique or Tapping, can be brought in and used if you know it. Know that you are a pecious individual and always a Star in your own right.

Now connect with the spiritual consciousness of the specific star. You don’t have to know which star it is. Open your mind to a new adventure, a new learning curve.  See, feel or sense the Soul of the Star, the Guardian of it, its essence. Ask its permission to speak with you. Open up to dialogue with it. You will have an extraordinary experience if you seek, ask and open your mind. You are always safe and protected.

Ask the Soul Star what your higher mission is if you don’t already know it or are seeking clarity. Be patient, wait. The Star, just like the Tarot trump’s mission is to pour down cosmic wisdom.

All you have to do is ask, be open and receive. Always give thanks and be grateful for the information, new ideas and breakthrough consciousness you will experience.  Many inventions are triggered from these stellar interactions.  From your Starry perspective make a Fixed vow that you will follow through and earth that new experience, energy, invention and freedom which you have received.  Bring your consciousness back down to earth and know that you can connect yourself anytime you wish to the Star and make wishes on it too.

Slowly come out of your meditation. Look up at the Stars. Write down or record your experience on your tablet, phone or other device. Make an 8 point action plan to manifest your new consciousness.

You can keep doing this meditation daily and I would recommend it until the next New Moon in Leo August 14.

Many Blessings,

TARA Greene Agent 129

 

 

Weekend update,Higher thoughts, Reality check

Moon enters Aquarius June 3 in the morning. Aquarius is opposite LEO,the 11th sign, Fixed Air, sign of inventors, revolutionaries, freedom, higher consciousness, independence,  equal rights for all, non-hierarchical.

Mercury is active today so our heads will feel up in the air. Mercury squares Chiron and later sextiles Jupiter.

Moon is inconjunct to Mars in Cancer

-being detached may involuntarily hurt someones tender feelings.

JULY 4 Happy Birthday Uncle Sam.

Our nearest and longest connection, the U.S. and Canada share the longest border in the world. I’ll look at the U.S. Birthday Solar Return chart separately. 

The weekend continues with another inconjunct between the Moon and the Sun

– kind of like your parents choosing to divorce or separating, family squabbles and misunderstandings. Parental needs are cloying and can be smothering. Non-attachment which Aquarius is great at, is the name of the game and saves the day.

Aquarius lightning Moon opposes Jupiter trines Mercury and opposes VENUS. 

This bodes well for the U.S. and for all of us, a chance to use that beautiful expansive Jupiter Venus conjunction with detachment and non-ego.

We can see the Emperor’s and Empresses aren’t wearing any clothes, no matter how fine and fancied up, labelled, branded, art studded, condos owns or P.R. they get. 

Speaking of which: The GREAT COSMIC REALITY CHECK is coming soon.

What is real and what are we projecting onto others?

I saw a poster today with Albert Einstein on it which said  ” Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics. ” – see poster. It didn’t feel right to me. I tuned into my higher guide and asked if the quote was from Albert and the answer I got was No. so I checked it out tonight. It is NOT an Einstein quote it appeared from a channeler named Darryl Anka who has assigned the words to an entity named Bashar in 1983. That message somehow got mashed onto Einstein’s theories of physics to support a New Age ideology. I’m not saying the message is wrong. I’m saying the projection is out of whack.

The Cosmic Reality check show is coming soon courtesy of Planet Saturn, the Cosmic whistle-blower cosmic Cop, the TAXMAN when he returns to Sagittarius. Father Time aka Satan, will be ticketing, arresting, hauling in and stopping all projections which is planet-Neptune in Pisces sphere, onto reality.

NOTE: Neptune rules DEBT. 

Illusions, oil, addictions, glamour, false prophets and gurus, Hollywood, delusions, escapism.  We all will be going to REHAB. But a lot of people will be going no no no. Kim Kardashian may soon be known as Kim Karcrapcan, amongst many others, her husdude, Con you West, and everyone, including you and me. Hallelujah.

Coming November 26 to your hood with Saturn and Neptune square to each other at 7 degrees+ of the 9th and 12th sign. This is my kind of Judgement Day. Sagittarius is the sign of Sacred Law, as opposed to man-made Corporate law. 

Card of the DayCosmic Tarot The 3 of swords 

This non traditional interpretation of the card is both mysterious and self-explanatory. In it three people, two men and a mysterious veiled woman, a Trinity of people, look similar to Secret Agents or Agents of the Matrix.  The three swords are in the lotus/heart. Are the trinity for good or evil?  Neptune’s symbol is a three pronged Trident. Saturn rules physical reality and Neptune spiritual and ephemeral realities, dream worlds.

The three’s are always birth giving, so though the card is dark, grey and forbeoding, it is a symbol of choice. There is pain and suffering but also redemption and hope implied. 

PLease share widely

I will announce plans for the SATURN SUPPORT GROUP by Tuesday. 

YOU WILL NEED a LOVE REDUX support group when VENUS TURNS RETROGRADE JULY 25- September 6.

REHAB- Amy Winehouse 

 

 

 

July over the top Astrology, by Tara Greene

July 1 starts out with a bang, and we may get more bang for our bucks than we expect which could be good or bad depending on where you are coming from.

Jupiter the King of the Gods, Zeus/Thor /Yahweh, called The Greater Benefic, the planet of expansion, optimism, faith humor trust and all good things is conjunct to Venus planet of love, values, luxury, money, relationships,called the Lesser Benefic in Regal Leo, sign of drama, actors, big egos, gold, vanity, pride, partying, over the top excess stuff. Jupiter rules International trade, justice, teaching, expansion, his down side is over-confidence and risk taking.

by William Sweeney of Alejandro Jodorowsky 

The DRACHMA DRAMA

We can see this excess over the top as symbolic of Greece’s current drachma drama. They are defaulting from excess, living like Kings, Jupiter in Leo, spending- Venus rules the gelt. They are at the point of no return. Although they can’t legally be thrown out of the EU apparently. That drama Leo’s favorite word, is unfolding about the $ and who has the power, the IMF? Modern day clash of the Titans.  It is very interesting that Ancient Greece was the foundation of modern Western society. Yes they pushed the Persians out and freed up the West. We owe the ancient Greeks an invaluable debt culturally. In a world increasingly being threatened by Islamic State Terrorists similar to the original Muslim scourge of the West,history may be repeating. Every great civilization falls, due to an invading foreigner or from its own handiwork.

Greece’s fall from Grace, a Jupiter theme, may signal a huge crisis once again in the world banking system and it is 7 years since 2008. I know about the Shemitah, these cycles are always based on the planetary cycles. The seven year cycle is Saturn’s. The 12 year cycle is Jupiter’s. The 60 year cycle is 5 x 12 = 60 Jupiter again. 

July 1/2 Capricorn Full Moon

Sun trines Neptune, rules debt,

Shining the light on the debt, on the illusion of money. The IMF prints electronic money it doesn’t exist, it is fancy hocus-pocus, it isn’t backed by GOLD, which is the SUN. 

JULY 6  SUN opposite PLUTO in Capricorn.

a twice yearly phenomena. INTENSE power struggles! Cancer is homeland, security, safety, nurturing vs, the Plutocracy. Moon is in Pisces this day it’s all about power, 

July 7

Mercury in Gemini Inconjunct Saturn – We CAN’T work it out.

Gridlock, deadlock, stalled negotiations, past shadows and ghost. Hardline death, taxes, hell to pay.

July 8 Mercury enters CANCER 

We think through our emotions when Mercury, our minds,  is in water signs, which is good. Think drowning brains. Women, children, nurturing, protection, safety, security, homeland are all big topics of discussion.  WATER and who owns it. 

MARS in Cancer trines NEPTUNE

big optimistic spiritual action day. Very romantic, great day to get married, take in the arts, be creative, imagine.  our illusions on water and who uses it. 

July 12 SUN SQUARES URANUS in Aries

I’m feeling the revolution at home.   Unusual wet weather, flooding, high tides. innovative technology. Women demanding freedom and protection.

July 13 MERCURY TRINE NEPTUNE water trine and Sun trines Chiron 

Inspiring feelings about spiritual oneness, and healing. Blessings, connections, family, forgiveness.

July 13/14 VENUS SQUARES SATURN at 28+ degrees Leo/Scorpio 

A good day to get married or to do any serious commitments or contracts which also involve pleasure, beauty, the arts, women, men, dad’s, authorities or long-term career.  This can also symbolize an end to a big financial drain. 

JULY 15 CANCER NEW MOON & MARS OPPOSITE PLUTO  5 star day ***** WARNING

the beginning of a civil war in the U.S.?  Big atomic terrorists attacks?

The two modern ruling planets of Scorpio clash. A day or emotional power struggles, Mars is war,the people vs the state, domination by the controlling party. A generally angry dangerous day. Stay home with Mars in Pluto. Cancer is the feelings of the people.  Huge splits battle lines being drawn. Operation Jade Helm in effect.

Mercury opposes PLUTO -this is the vocal part of that battle. 

July 16  Mercury conjuncts MARS

 angry words upset stomachs, family feuds. 

July 18 VENUS enters VIRGO with the Moon conjunct REGULUS

an auspicious positive day. Love and Archangel Raphael and La Luna come together. Virgo is the land, servants, hard work, budgets, accountability, the environment, the harvest, intellectual, humble. We need to be thinking and caring and loving the earth. we are the earth. 

July 18 Mercury squares Uranus 

thinking radically pushes the buttons of the emotionally fearful. 

July 19 Mercury trines Chiron

The need to be compassionate, in mind and word. Healing comes easily. Time to forgive and move on.

July 21 Cancer SUN trines SATURN in Scorpio

brightening up the somber, death throws in the financial outlook. Serious commitments are favored. 

July 22 Sun enters LEO  Mercury Trines Saturn

Leo energy is proud, loud, dramatic, big-hearted, royal. Think Big, and focus on long-term career changes, and goals. 

July 23   MERCURY enters LEO  conjuncts the SUN

Very big positive speak your mind and heart day. Say it loud and proud, A day of demonstrations. BIG DRAMAS.

JULY 25 VENUS TURNS RETROGRADE at 00 degrees VIRGO *****

this is a big turning point on many levels. Yes Venus Retrogrades every 1+ years. VENUS in VIRGO is initiating a new brand of fashion based on intelligence,  frugality, practicality and realism.  

MARKET CRASH DAY! In the sign of balancing the budget we must go back and attend to the overextending. Relationships back up and break up. Who has the power?  Old ego issues must be dealt with.  Economy goes Retrograde. Time to tighten our belts now to get used to it when Jupiter enters Virgo on August 11 for a whole year of penny-pinching.

MARS squares URANUS + new initiation into Cardinal CROSSES at 20+degrees Cancer/Aries

The Cardinal Cross energy hasn’t occurred at this degree yet. The revolution is sparked. Protests, marches, battles, the people are angry. 

July 26  Mars trine Chiron in Pisces

the people want spiritual solutions, or they want escapism and denial. This will be a major topic over his year and into 2016.

URANUS turns RETROGRADE at 20 + degrees ARIES

The revolution is fought from within. Back to the designing board for a few months. 

July 27 Mercury in Leo inconjunct to Neptune in Pisces

Pride comes before the fall. Admitting our addictions helps to open the heart. Thinking from ego destroys the spiritual process. You can’t fool the people with fake illusions of spiritual content. Using your heart mind gets you to the truth. 

JULY 29 Mercury in Leo inconjunct to Pluto in Capricorn

Inconjuncts are like foreigners trying to communicate. No comprende is the order of the day.  Power struggles stalemates. 

JULY 31 BLUE MOON- FULL MOON in AQUARIUS @ 7+ degrees 

VENUS re-enters LEO 

Blue Moons happen once every three years. 

Lots of fire trines on this Full Moon. Goddess ATHENA , ancient patroness of Greece is the mover and shaker here. Name destiny, the planets ARE the Ancient Gods and Goddesses. Sun Mercury Jupiter and hours later Venus are in Leo. The South Node, Vesta-Goddess of INVESTMENTS, Uranus and Eris Goddess of Strife are all in a GRAND FIRE trined by ATHENA. That’s a 9 alarm FIRE!!!!! Money market meltdown……

AUGUST preview August 1st PDT

SATURN turns DIRECT at 28 degrees of Scorpio on LAMMAS Pagan cross-quarter day. We are half-way to Autumn.

Aug 2 in EDT.  SATURN IS SUPER POWERFUL on this day.

Ruler of reality, death, the cosmic cop, the tax man, SATURN collects his karmic dues. Saturn has been Retrograde since March 14.  Father Time, the great leveler will stay in Scorpio until September 17.  The Hell will be unleashed, Saturn has been held back all these months.

Venus, loose women, Retrograde lovers

April 15

 

I’m feeling up getting some very good news today. I cant talk about it.

Venus in GEMINI  is opposite Saturn today making for a very karmic day. Do not tell any  fibs today. Aim higher, open your mind, inspiration is all around. Speak your truth and no double talk. The Moon in Pisces meets Neptune, Venus’s HIGHER OCTAVE early in the day.

 We may feel awash in imagination, as if we are in a waking dream, huge romance potential today. Yes can let yourself get lost in a fantasy today because Saturn does have your back. Its a good day to meditate and to lose yourself in Source energy.  Build a new real dream, put flesh on its bones. Intention is everything. Saturn will make it so.

Venus goes Out of Bounds today. Get outside your hearts’ comfort zone.

This is a recent Astrological addition to the lexicon.  OOB means planets going North or South of 23 degrees 27 minutes of declination from the celestial equator. These time periods indicate that a planet has been let loose to wander, freed up from its usual path, having its blinders taken off, not acting from its normal frame of reference.  This has nothing to do with where Venus is moving through the signs of the Zodiac. Venus is visible in the evening now. 

Venus will be O.O. B. till June 1st. Then Mars goes OOB June 6 – July 16. 

Forget the waist training ladies. Pack on a few pounds if it tickles your fancy. Be footloose and fancy free. Throw off the old shackles of the love sick blues and say Fuck that. You are free to be you.

Venus rules all the goodies. Love, romance, money, luxury, women, art. So as Venus moves out of her usual frame of reference, she lets her hair down and is very unpredictable. This means the Financial markets will be more wild crazy and unstable than usual.

VENUS will also go RETROGRADE this year, mark these dates! BRINGING SEXY BACK

 June 21  Venus enters the Rx zone at  14 Leo 23′ 

July 25  Venus goes Retrograde 00 Virgo 46’Rx on the Fixed star of Kings and Queens REGULUS aka Angel Raphael who heals hearts with his emerald green ray.  This is very symbolic of great heart healing on this planet.

September 6   Venus Stationary Direct @ 14 Leo 23′

October 9 Venus leaves her Retrograde zone at  00 Virgo 46 ‘

Venus is Retrograde for 7-8% of the time,  less than any other planet.

Were you born under a Venus Retrograde? Venus has two beautiful phases, one in which she is Venus Lucifer the Morning star and Venus Hesperus the Eveening star. To find out which type of Venus you have is easy.  First locate the Sun in your natal chart. If Venus is clockwise from the Sun, your Venus type is Lucifer, the Morning Star. If Venus is positioned counterclockwise from the Sun, your Venus type is of Hesperus, the Evening Star. These two types of Venus phases have two very different types of acting and expressing themselves.  I’ll write more about that later.

Mark these areas on you natal chart now. Which house or houses will Venus be Retrograde in?

Venus Retrograde is a time to RE-EVALUATE LOVE and to look back on our relationships, review, relax, reset the romance button. 

Values change in love and relationships especially. Venus retrogrades from Virgo which is about work, and your daily routine. Virgo is very disciplined, humble, organized, health and environmentally and community conscious, earthy and needing to serve others. Venus moving back into the infantile, fixed, negative of-  its all about me Leo,shows the  selfish, SELFIE, vain, boasting, bossy, bullying, egotistic, acting entitled, and all that DRAMA. OMG it will look so cheap and tawdry through the rear view mirror and we will see all those reality show for what they are. Cheap distractions. All that glitters is not gold.  We will review all of our own dramas and find them a waste of time and energy. Yes friends, colleagues, and family allegiances will shift because of this retrograde. Venus in Leo will bring you bravery and strong will power.

Think ahead about how you can bring more beauty and creativity into your life. You can revisit your queen or kingdom from your throne and see if you are a wise ruler and leader. What do you stand for? 

where is your heart? What is worthy of your passion, life blood, and will power? 

start asking these questions now.
