It's a good time to work on your short-term plans and focus on the ideas that you're excited about, and we can find the right way to communicate what we need to. On July 5th, Mercury enters fiery Leo, and Mars enters Leo on the 20th, and the Sun on the 22nd, so we get a dose of energy in Leo. Leo is creative, fun-loving, playful, romantic, and just wants to enjoy life, so this is a great time to focus on who and what you love, and get in touch with your heart, your inner child, and make yourself feel good. July's new moon also occurs in Leo on the 23rd, and this can be the start of new hobbies, new creative ventures, and we can be more generous and optimistic. Mercury doesn't stay in Leo long, moving into Virgo on the 25th, one of the signs he rules, so we can be more at ease with the details, have more productive mental energy, strive to be efficient with our time and resources, and get organized, make lists, and clean up. July's full moon occurs on the 9th in Capricorn, and we can see the culmination of hard and smart work, or experience failures and delays from recklessness and irresponsibility. We may see high points and long falls, and have to be more serious about responsibilities, and focus more on the direction we're going in. This month is best for: LEO | Find your Personal Year Number by adding the current year to your Life Path Number (full date of birth) or Sun Number (Month and Day) and reduce to a single digit. Either applies, so try them both and see which works for you. Love days:

In this guest article from the lovely astrologer, Regina Chouza, she explores our Shadow sides and how we can access, work with, and heal them using crystals.

When you were born with a planet retrograde (appearing to move backward) or direct (forward motion), it may flip in the progressed chart at some point in your life. What does that mean for you?

We're in the middle of the full and new moon for the month of June, pulling away from the Sagittarius full moon and gearing up for the Cancer new moon on Friday. What's in store?
Read the article >>> | Angular Houses The angular houses are the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th houses. These are the action houses and rules the foundational points of our lives - the 1st house of the self, the 4th house of home and family, the 7th house of relationships, and the 10th house of goals and direction. Because of this, these houses are more active, and when you have any planets conjunct any of the angular house cusps, their importance in your personality and life is elevated. You can feel them strong, and they may be the most important planet in your natal chart (at least in an obvious way). When a transit planet crosses over one of the angular house cusps, we can experience a period of activity and developments, and while the planet is in the angular house, we can be more motivated to take action and make things happen. This can be the case with the progressed angles as well, and whenever they come to a critical or anaretic degree, enter new signs, or are aspected, these can be important periods. With the progressed chart, we often experience a shift with our connections when it's the 1st and 7th house cusps, or a shift in the foundation of our lives with it's the 4th and 10th house cusps. The angular houses usually aren't very grounded, even if fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius). There's so much energy and activity associated with them, that we have to take action when they're activated, whether it's always if in the natal chart, or temporarily if by transit or progression. We can be so active that we may not think too much, and so that tends to be the downfall of angular energy. It's important to not be impulsive and simply jump to action just because you're being spurned on by the active energy of the angular houses. To make the best use of them, you should work on doing some homework first so you're acting in a way that's smart and will last. Predicting Difficult Health Periods We're only human, and the human body sure loves to break down! (as my brother always tells me, we're slowly decaying LOL) So when can you expect some difficult times for your health astrologically? In general, health is ruled by the 6th house, so when you experience hard aspects (squares and oppositions, occasionally conjunctions) to the 6th house cusp or ruler, this can show difficult periods for your health. The Sun also rules our physical bodies in general, so hard aspects to your natal Sun can also indicate difficult health periods. The transit planet involved can give more info about it - Saturn can show health issues related to stress or not taking proper care of yourself, Uranus can show health issues that come about suddenly or unexpectedly, Neptune can show health issues that are difficult to treat or diagnose, and Pluto can show health issues that may persist and take up a lot of your time and energy. For specific difficult health periods, you'll usually see hard aspects to the natural planetary or house ruler of the part of the body being impacted, or to a natal planet or house in the natural sign ruler. So, say you injure your foot - feet are ruled by Neptune, the 12th house, and Pisces, so this would likely occur with hard aspects to your natal Neptune, natal 12th house cusp or ruler, or to a natal planet in Pisces. I find there can also be difficult health periods with hard aspects to the 12th house cusp or ruler, particularly when it's something where you'll be hospitalized or stuck in bed or at home for a while (the 12th house rules confinement). I also find difficult health periods can occur with hard aspects to your natal Chiron or by transit Chiron to your chart - Chiron is often linked to emotional wounds, but I find that he's also tied to physical wounds, and especially linked to physical problems that are long-term, degenerate, or the result of strain or overuse. | |
