JULY NEW MOON The new lunar month begins on the 23rd at the Leo new moon and, if ever there were a moment to launch some spectacular project or fulfil a long-held ambition, this is it. The moon and sun are closely aligned with Mars in the early degrees of Leo, symbol of the leader, king, drama queen, performer, champion, and hero. This Leo line-up positively brims with fire, passion and creative energy while Mercury trine Uranus offers fresh and original ideas. Mix this all together and you should feel fired up, courageous, daring, and ready for absolutely anything!
VENUS IN CANCER – SUGAR AND SPICE AND ALL THINGS NICE Astrologers say Venus is ‘exalted’ in Cancer meaning she gets to show off her best qualities, namely the kind, nurturing, loving and homely qualities and activities that many of us don’t or won’t make time for. Venus in Cancer
bakes cakes and scones. Venus in Cancer visits her grandmother and takes her nephew to the park. Venus in Cancer has time for a natter and cup of tea. Venus in Cancer enjoys a long, relaxing bath and maybe a glass of wine in the back yard. She doesn’t understand key performance indicators, to-do lists, networking and outer world achievement. Venus will be in Cancer from the 1st-26th August, so get that kettle on!
MERCURY RETROGRADE (13TH AUGUST – 5TH SEPTEMBER) Mercury is the fastest moving planet in our solar system, orbiting very close to the sun. In Roman mythology, quicksilver Mercury with his magical winged sandals and helmet was known as the Messenger of the Gods. In astrology, Mercury is the planet of communication, helping us put our thoughts into words; plan our daily activities; interact with one another and explore new ideas and information.
Every four months, the planet Mercury appears to slow down, change direction and start travelling backwards through the heavens. Astrologers refer to this period as ‘Mercury Retrograde’. When Mercury is retrograde the unconscious and intuitive parts of ourselves are particularly active with the best laid plans often coming to a halt as events take on a life of their own. We are asked to go within, meditate,
and reflect, rather than pushing forward with life in the outer world. Mercury Retrograde can be a time of frustration and misunderstandings where things keep going wrong or breaking down. If this happens to you, it’s a sign that you need to take more notice of things you’ve been ignoring or complete unfinished business. Mercury Retrograde can also bring hidden information to the surface, helping us see the truth. (Mercury will be retrograde in earth sign Virgo and fire sign Leo from 13th August to 5th September.)
