Lunations - Trends for All Signs
FULL MOON occurs on July 10, 2006 at 11:02 PM EDT
This Full Moon on the Cancer/Capricorn access calls us to balance our comfort and protection in all aspects of life. Discipline with practical application toward our personal and professional goals offers us emotional fulfillment as well. Mars opposes Neptune in the Full Moon chart calling us to balance motivation and imagination. This a powerful time for creative souls everywhere! Saturn opposes Chiron in this chart as well. To take responsibility for our own loving nature perpetuates forgiveness and the healing of old wounds.
NEW MOON occurs on July 25, 2006 at 12:32 AM EDT
This New Moon features the Lights kissing in early Leo! It is a time of renewed optimism and its ease of expression. Artistic flair begins to build. The Lights oppose Chiron, retrograde in logical Aquarius. The trend is to lead with the heart and worry about analysis later. Saturn opposes Neptune, also retrograde in Aquarius. Former inspirations and unfinished symphonies can be brought back to life in this cycle. These ponderous planets give us ample time to develop our inner and outer goals. When Neptune stations direct in late October, we may be wearing Cheshire cat grins!
Mercury Retrograde Alert!
Mercury retrogrades in early Leo on July 4th, 2006 at 03:29 PM EDT until July 28th, 2006 at 08:33 PM EDT when it stations direct at 21 degrees of Cancer.
DO NOT PANIC! Remember that Mercury retrogrades once each season for three and a half weeks! It is a marvelous time for contemplation, re-organization and re-evaluation. DO be cautious when signing documents and in making long term commitments without all the facts. Long term memory is particularly available with this one! Bringing out old photographs and bringing back family traditions is seen.
Jupiter Stations Direct!
Jupiter stations direct in Scorpio on July 6, 2006 at 03:34 AM EDT. Decisions to invest in an abundant future are more easily made. Resource management and political agendas will take on a more powerful presence both in the media and behind the scenes. Beware the magnitude of manipulation on all fronts. To further complicate matters, Saturn in Leo is square Jupiter in Scorpio all month.
Focus on heart issues both physically and emotionally this month! You are challenged to go deeper and evaluate more completely. If you have a history of heart disease, follow up immediately on any symptoms. If you have had your heart broken, it is time to heal deep within. If you are trying to open up your heart to new love and new passions, know the risk - and do it YOUR way!
Uranus Retrograde Alert!
Uranus retrogrades in Pisces on June 19, 2006 at 02:31 AM EDT until November 19, 2006 at 10:57 PM EST. The nervous system in general may experience a reprieve and revelations by peering through the retrospect window can be astounding! To further complicate matters, the North Node enters Pisces the following day! This passage occurs every 18.6 years and lasts nearly a year and a half. For the collective consciousness this manifests more in the realm of how we attach ourselves to our fellow beings here on Earth. Sorrows spur compassion; miracles bring great joy. The solitary soldier pales from view.
Neptune Retrograde Alert!
Neptune retrogrades in Aquarius on May 22, 2006 until October 29, 2006. It is easy now to see futuristic concepts and philosophies evident in ancient times. We desire to bring hope forward even in the face of dynamic progress and the quickening we have been experiencing on different levels. The dance Neptune does with Jupiter in Scorpio this year calls us to go deeper and redefine true prosperity. Its confrontations with Saturn in Leo call us to a higher inspiration!
Pluto Retrograde Alert!
Pluto assumed retrograde status on the Solar Eclipse in March and will remain so until September 4, 2006. The effects of this retrograde are subtle but intense. Inner questioning about the direction your life is taking and new philosophies about what is truly empowering is seen. A mixture of bewilderment and amazement accompanies this cycle. This tiny but intense planet still hovers close to the Galactic Center. We feel small as the World around us trembles. Great change is afoot!
Chiron Retrograde Alert!
Chiron retrogrades in Aquarius on May 15, 2006 until October 12, 2006. Although Chiron has a reputation for being a planetoid all about healing, in Aquarius, its conceptual energy is equally acute. In retrospect we see our hidden motivations and elusive ambitions with greater clarity. We detach more easily in our counsel to others and to ourselves. The energies of persons and situations are easier to read now. The signs we seek are easier to view when we are not at warp speed!
