You may have heard a lot
about the Uranus/Pluto square. It will be the most intense on June 24th
and September 19th in 2012. However, this jarring astrological
transit will be in the background throughout all of 2012-2015 forming 7 squares total. The last time Uranus/Pluto formed a troubling
square was in the early 1930s around the time of the Great Depression and when
Hitler was at the height of his power. These are certainly interesting times
that we live in! Please feel free to
watch my astrological video to learn more!

Keep in mind
while you read this Blog that I include the time that a transit will be exact
so that you can see when it waxes and then when it starts to wane. The effects of a transit are often felt as
long as a day or two (or even longer).
The energy is usually felt more strongly during the time leading up to
the height and then it slowly starts to dissipate after. It’s important to remember that Moon transits
tend to last a shorter period of time than planetary transits. I will no longer be including every transit
that occurs, but rather highlighting the most dominant transit (to make the
Blog a little easier to read, in response to reader feedback!).
(Sunday 7/1/12)- Today will consist mostly of Lunar transits. Keep in mind that Moon
transits are shorter in duration than planetary transits. Overnight, the Moon in Sagittarius makes a stressful
opposition with Jupiter in Gemini (exact at 1:05am EST). Sometimes this can zap our
self-confidence. Conversely, we could
also feel a little too confident and over state our abilities (possibly over
promising). Just remember you won’t
always feel this way and there are only so many hours in a day….it is OK to say
no! Then, the Moon in Sagittarius makes a flowing trine
to Mercury in Leo (exact at 3:11am EST).
This transit will assist us to express how we feel. It will be much easier to speak with friends
and loved ones during this time. We may
have an urge to be social around this transit and it is highly beneficial for
all kinds of relationships. Next, the Moon in Sagittarius forms its monthly
opposition to Venus in Gemini (exact at 6:42am EST). It’s not good to shop or decorate during
this transit. Someone could offend your
sense of good taste! Our feelings could
be at odds with love relationships right now. Next, the
Moon in Sagittarius will form a flowing trine with Uranus in Aries (exact at
7:52am EST) helping us to step up to the plate and do the right thing, even
though it may be somewhat unconventional.
We could get sudden
revelations or ideas, so write them down!
Technology (like computers), inventing, New Age ideologies, and
friendships are favored around this transit. This could cause disturbed dreams and/or sleep
(possibly inspirational or vivid dreams).
The Moon in Sagittarius will
form an annoying quincunx with the Sun in Cancer (exact at 10:35am EST). It may be hard to feel supported
around this time. Accomplishments may go
unrecognized. It is possible to clash
with someone younger than yourself (like a parent child relationship).
In the afternoon, Venus in Gemini will make a slightly uncomfortable
sesquisquare with Saturn (R) in Libra (exact at 12:33pm EST). Remember,
this is a planetary transit and its effects will be felt much longer than a Moon
transit. Saturn’s influence is sobering to Venus. Attaining long-term goals, finances, and
relationships may feel strained around this time. We may feel shy or hindered in expressing love
or with our romantic feelings. Another
possibility is that we may want to put our relationships into a category, but
remember that emotions don’t always need to make sense! The remainder of the day will be under
the influence of the Sagittarian Moon….
(Monday 7/2/12)- In the morning, the Moon in Sagittarius will form a
positive sextile to Saturn (R) in Libra (exact at 7:08am EST). Time to tap into our inner discipline, goal setting,
organization and attention to details.
We may want to make long term plans in our close relationships.
In the evening, the Moon in Sagittarius will form an uncomfortable
square with Mars in Virgo (exact at 6:21pm EST). As
with all Mars transits, I recommend doing something physical or exercising
around this time (gardening, housework, working on the car, etc. all
count!). Sexuality can be enhanced
around this transit. Did you ever have a
moment where circumstances seem like they are conspiring against you? Often, this transit results in a culmination
of things that can be annoying.
Sometimes small irritations or quarrels can result. This will also be the beginning very short void of course cycle that will last until the Moon transitions into Capricorn . When the Moon
makes no major planetary aspects to another planet, before it switches into the
next sign, is call “void of course”. It
is best to not do anything new during these times because it has a decreased
chance of working or will have delays. The Moon transitions into hardworking
Capricorn (exact at 6:51pm EST). Themes
that will be prevalent over the next 2 ½ days are: business endeavors,
discipline, structure, work, goal setting, drive, public ambition, and
tradition. Try to avoid: workaholic
tendencies, coldness, and using people for personal gain. Lastly, the Moon
in Capricorn forms a positive sextile to Neptune (R) in Pisces (exact at 11:39pm
EST) causing our imagination/creativity to soar. This transit is also beneficial for
daydreaming, idealism, intuition, romance, music, poetry, abstract ideas,
mysticism, etc. It is possible to be
more charming around this transit.
Anyone have rose-colored glasses?
(Tuesday 7/3/12)- I will not be doing Astrological
Readings at Spirit Dancer today.
Overnight we will experience three quincunx’s with Jupiter, Mercury, and
Venus. We could experience many blockages especially before 8am EST time
hopefully we will be sleeping and could avoid that astrological energy. In the morning, the Moon will be making its monthly
conjunction with Pluto (R) in Capricorn (exact at 8:12am EST) adding
emotional intensity to the mix. This may
help with insights pertaining to business and financial endeavors. Helping to “pick up” on the undercurrent of a
situation. This is also beneficial for
therapy, cathartic experiences, passion, and ferreting out secrets.
Just after, the Moon
in Capricorn uncomfortably squares Uranus in Aries (exact at 8:45am EST). This is a time where someone around you may
challenge tradition. You may also want
to buck the system. An unexpected event
or surprise could catch you off-guard.
It is possible to experience issues with technology or mechanical
issues. This could cause
disturbed dreams and/or sleep (possibly inspirational or vivid dreams). Then, Venus in Gemini will form an
annoying quincunx with powerful Pluto (R) in Capricorn (exact at 11:45am EST). Remember, this is a planetary transit and
its effects will be felt much longer than a Moon transit. Quincunxes usually bring an obstacle or delay. This is will bring trouble on the
love/passion forefront. The object of
our affections may be inaccessible around this time. If the energies are harnessed properly, there
could be true transformation in these areas.
Pluto brings intensity and there is a possibly of obsessing (or being
too intense) about love/finances.
In the afternoon, the
Full Moon is at its height in the sign of hard-working Capricorn (exact at
2:52pm EST)! The Full Moon in July is often called the Full
Buck Moon, the Full Thunder Moon, and the Full Hay Moon. The height of the Full Moon is always signified by the opposition of the
Sun (currently in Cancer). Capricorn
in general is a business-oriented sign.
This could indicate a reconciling between business and family
demands. Are you having trouble balancing your career versus home
life? Do you only call people when you
want or need something from them? How do
you know when you have attained success and what does that success look like? Do embrace people with open arms or you more
formal than that keeping them at a distance?
What are your goals and are you a goal-oriented person or do you tend to
float through life simply reacting to what is happening around you? These questions/themes will be highlighted
now. It depends where the Moon/Capricorn
& Sun/Cancer falls within your chart in order to know how this will affect
you on a personal level. Full Moons
astrologically are considered to be a time of culmination or endings. I personally like to take this time to
meditate and send out prayers for family, friends, and humanity.
(Wednesday
7/4/12)- Happy Birthday America! "The greatest lesson we can learn
from the past…. is that freedom is at the core of every successful nation in
the world" ~unknown
Today there will be literally a smorgasbord of astrological and planetary
energy. Therefore, I am not going to cover all of the different transits and
just focus on the main events.
Essentially both Mercury and Venus are going to be highlighting the Uranus/Pluto
square. This will be highlighting both
communication and relations with close loved ones. Overnight, Mercury in Leo will form an
annoying quincunx with Pluto (R) in Capricorn (exact at 2:19am EST). Remember,
this is a planetary transit and its effects will be felt much longer than a
Moon transit. Quincunxes usually will
manifest in the form of a block or obstacle.
It may be harder to access deeper thoughts around this time. This is actually a better time for
superficial activities. Keep things
light! Not a good time to do research or
to “dig below the surface”. Outside
influences could affect you and present situations beyond our control. Then, the Moon in Capricorn will
form an uncomfortable square with Saturn (R) in Libra (exact at 8:25am EST). Luckily the duration of this event is
short. Sometimes this can give us a
feeling of loneliness or isolation. We
may feel passed over or possibly not getting the recognition that we deserve. It is better to work on organization around
this time. This will be the beginning of a long 12-hour void-of-course Moon cycle that will end when the Moon
transitions into Aquarius later
today. Next, Mercury
in Leo will form a positive sextile with Venus in Gemini (exact at 9:26am EST). Remember, this is a planetary transit and
its effects will be felt much longer than a Moon transit. Sextiles often present opportunity but
may require some effort on your part to come to fruition. We may have love on the mind and want to talk
about it! Artistic and social endeavors
are favored. It may be possible to have
a money-making idea (or opportunity). If
you’re single, you will be drawn to an intelligent & witty person. If you are in a relationship, have fun
laughing with your partner (maybe watch a comedy or go to a show)! You know what they say; your brain is the
biggest sex organ!
In the afternoon,
Mercury in Leo will form a beautiful flowing trine to Uranus (R) in Aries
(exact at 1:53pm EST). Remember,
this is a planetary transit and its effects will be felt much longer than a
Moon transit. This will set the
stage for surprising insights and ideas on new ways to do things. This transit increases clairvoyance and
channeling. Exchange of thoughts and
information may come at lightning speed around this time. Brilliant ideas! You may not need much caffeine today. In fact, I would use caution with all
stimulants around this time (and that includes sugar)….as we could be feeling
downright jittery without much assistance!
Then, the
Moon transitions into Aquarius (exact at 8:26pm EST). Activities that are favored during Moon in
Aquarius are: social endeavors, friendship, technology, humanitarian efforts,
politics, inventing, and New Age ideologies.
Things to avoid: are getting too caught up in the greater good and
masses that you forget the individual & their feelings, and being overly fixed in your own unique
way of doing things that you can’t consider someone else’s good ideas. Lastly, Venus in Gemini will form a positive sextile to Uranus Aries (exact at 10:36pm
EST). Remember, all of
these are planetary transits and their effects will be felt much longer than a
Moon transit. Routine is so
boring! Desire for independence and
freedom. Looking for your muse? If you are single and looking for someone
that is different from the usual types, then go out tonight! You might be up for anything that is
progressive and new. Strange and unusual
artwork or music may catch your attention.
If you are in a relationship, take a break from your rut. Do something exciting with your partner!
(Thursday 7/5/12)- In the morning, the Moon
in Aquarius makes a flowing trine with Jupiter in Gemini (exact at 5:12am EST)
helping us to feel optimistic and/or lucky.
This is an ideal time to be with friends or to work with groups of
people. It is also beneficial for
spirituality/religion, higher education, horses, law/legal matters,
advertising, sales, and publishing. In
the late morning to early afternoon, the Moon will highlight yesterday's
planetary energies highlighting communication and relations of loved ones.
In the evening, the Moon
in Aquarius will form an annoying quincunx with the Sun in Cancer (exact at 8:58pm
EST). It may be hard to feel
supported around this time.
Accomplishments may go unrecognized.
It is possible to clash with someone younger than yourself (like a
parent child relationship). Lastly, Mercury
in Leo will form an annoying quincunx with “Wounded Healer” Chiron in Pisces (R)
(exact at 2:13pm EST). Remember,
this is a planetary transit and its effects will be felt much longer than a
Moon transit. Past memories may come
flooding in around this time.
Forgiveness (or the need to forgive) may be just out of reach, but that
is exactly what is needed. This may
involve more of an intellectual process, but we may have difficulty in
discussing it with others. If you are
having trouble communicating around this time with others…this may be a good
time to start or continue writing in your journal. At least you will be able to get things off
your chest in a healthy way.
(Friday 7/6/12)- Today will be an astrologically quiet day
with only one Moon transit in the late morning. The Moon in Aquarius will make a flowing trine to Saturn (R) in
Libra (exact at 11:49am EST). This
is a great time for organization, house cleaning, filing, recycling, and being
disciplined. This is also beneficial for
starting a diet or health regimen (like quitting smoking). Sometimes others will ask for help around
this transit, but it won’t be burdensome, we will be happy to assist! This will be the beginning of a long 12+ hour void-of-course Moon cycle that will last until tomorrow morning
when the Moon transitions into the sign of Pisces…
(Saturday 7/7/12)- Overnight, the Moon transitions into dreamy Pisces
(exact at 12:29am EST). Activities that are favored during Moon in
Pisces: creativity, intuition,
spiritual aspirations, higher consciousness, connection with feelings,
counseling, music, art, photography, nature and especially being near water,
and charitable work. Things to avoid
are: getting so caught up in others feeling that you put your aside, excessive
escapism, and acting like a martyr.
These are all themes that will last the next 2 ½ days. Then, the Moon makes its monthly
conjunction with Neptune (R) both in Pisces (exact at 5:40am EST) causing
our imagination/creativity to soar. This
transit is also beneficial for daydreaming, idealism, intuition, romance,
music, poetry, abstract ideas, mysticism, etc.
It is possible to be more charming (or to meet charming people) around
this transit. Because idealism &
escapism can be enhanced with this transit, I wouldn’t make a big decisions or
sign contracts around this time. If you
are sleeping while this event occurs, it may be possible to have prophetic or
“visitation” dreams. Next, the Moon in Pisces will form
an uncomfortable square with Jupiter in Gemini (exact at 10:40am EST). Someone could challenge your
beliefs at this time. It’s possible that
you could find out someone within your group has been acting behind your back
or is at odds with the greater good.
Dealings with groups of people or legal matters are unfavorable around
this time.
In the afternoon,
the Moon in Pisces will form a positive sextile with Pluto (R) Capricorn
(exact at 3:04pm) helping us to connect with what is going on under
the surface. If you were awake during
this time it would be beneficial for: cathartic experiences, deep
conversations, and all forms of counseling are favored during this
transit. It may be possible to have
intense dreams while you are sleeping. Then,
the Moon in Pisces will square Venus in Gemini (exact at 5:29pm EST). Although we will have a drive to be with
others around this time, it would be best to avoid heavy conversations
pertaining to love. Sometimes the object
of our affections is just out of reach (or otherwise detained) around this
transit. The is not a good time to go
shopping or work on beautification because what we think looks good now may
seem like a bad idea at a later time.
Next, the Moon forms its monthly conjunction with Chiron (R) both in
Pisces (exact at 5:37pm EST). You
may be presented with an opportunity to heal or to be healed. Holistic and alternative medicine is
especially favored. Serendipitous
moments abound! Then, the Moon in
Pisces will form an annoying quincunx to Mercury in Leo (exact at 7:43pm EST)
possibly causing blocks in communication.
It may be nearly impossible to express ourselves. You ever had a time that you couldn’t put
your thoughts into words? Lastly, Venus in Gemini will form an uncomfortable square
with Chiron (R) in Pisces (exact at 9:49pm EST). Remember, all of these are planetary transits and their effects will be
felt much longer than a Moon transit. This could bring up past pains
& past loves. Use this time to heal
old wounds. I recently found this saying
and thought it was fitting “Remember, an EX is an EX for a reason…. To serve as
an EX-ample of what you don't want”!
Mark your calendars! Next Friday (7/13) Uranus
turns Retrograde in Aries, and on Saturday (7/14) Mercury turns Retrograde in
Leo!
The above
transits are often felt collectively but you would need to know where within
your chart that they would fall. As
always, I am available for a professional astrological reading. I have a
variety of charts to choose from (relationship, life path, time-line, child
star, etc). I can do readings in-person, over the phone, or via Skype. Or if you’re not into having a reading, I can
just supply a chart. Please feel free to
contact me for more information! Have a great week! Bye for now……
