Planets:

Sun - Self, individuality, personality

The Sun symbolises a personal identity. It shows us areas where the person should learn to be independent, where he should fulfill his potential, differentiate himself from others and shine. The position of the Sun may tell us which profession would best suit the character of a person.

Cancer 24-25° - Sabian Symbol 115

"A dark shadow or mantle thrown suddenly over the right shoulder"

Moon - Emotions, instincts, roots, mother

Place in the horoscope where the Moon is tells us what gives the person a sense of security, and where to find it. It describes how sensitive we are and how we instinctively interact with our surroundings. The Moon also tells us about our childhood and our experiences with our mother.

Pisces 4-5° - Sabian Symbol 335

"A church bazaar"

Mercury - Thinking, communication, intellect, learning

Mercury is the planet that brings us interest in intellectual things, about teaching and learning. It also indicates into what depth we want to study things. It gives us natural intelligence and the ability to analyse and reproduce.

Cancer 23-24° - Sabian Symbol 114

"A woman and two men on a bit of sunlit land facing south"

Venus - Sensuality, love, harmony, pleasure

Venus symbolises attractivity. Sign in which Venus is tells us what we are attracted to and this enables us to give or receive love and affection, beauty and happiness, values and principles. The negative side is that it represents weakness and shallowness.

Gemini 28-29° - Sabian Symbol 89

"The first mockingbird in spring"

Mars - Activity, energy, courage, assertiveness

Mars symbolises the need to get what we want. This means our driving force which includes sex drive, initiative and courage. Mars tells us about our desires, sensuality, courage and will. It also tells us about how we are able to overcome obstacles and how active we are.

Taurus 7-8° - Sabian Symbol 38

"A sleigh without snow"

Jupiter - Happiness, optimism, expansion

Jupiter symbolises growth, expansion, laws, faith and ethics that guide it. It represents a sense for development and support, which can lead to opportunities, wealth and faith. However, if Jupiter is damaged, the person becomes immoral and extremist.

Aries 8-9° - Sabian Symbol 9

"A crystal gazer"

Saturn - Restriction, order, maturity, time

Saturn is our strict teacher who is able to ruthlessly examine our maturity. However, it is not only the despot, but also the archetype of the sage who uses pain as a means to get our attention on what we should focus on and what we should continue to develop.

Aquarius 23-24° - Sabian Symbol 324

"A man turning his back on his passions and teaching from experience"

Uranus - Originality, freedom, revolution

Uranus is the power of awakening, which often means that there will be some disruption and change. Events under the influence of Uranus are unexpected or unpredictable, forcing us to do things in a new way and face the truth about this or that issue.

Taurus 18-19° - Sabian Symbol 49

"A newly formed continent"

Neptune - Fantasy, illusion, spirituality, imagination

Neptune is called the Lord of the Invisible Empire, which is a mysterious name of a mysterious planet. Perhaps we could describe it as a dimension of life that cannot be experienced by our five senses and we can only understand and perceive it in our imagination.

Pisces 25-26° - Sabian Symbol 356

"A new moon that divides its influence"

Pluto - Transformation, regeneration, power

Pluto is the planet of death and rebirth. It is the end of all things, it is the Judgment Day. It can give rise to obsessions or convictions. On the dark end of its spectrum it can manifest as "succumbing to the urge," or it can create an individual who has the ability to get to the core of things, destroy negative things and bring on healing and transformation.

Capricorn 27-28° - Sabian Symbol 298

"A large aviary"

Objects:

Lunar Nodes - North Node and South Node

The Lunar Nodes aren’t planets, but rather astrology mathematical points, that are directly opposite each other in the chart. It is said, that your life purpose is encoded between them - in the line between North Node and South Node. The South Node indicates your comfort zone, your habitual place, while your North Node shows life lessons and what you’re striving for in this lifetime. Both Lunar Nodes are almost always retrogade.

Taurus 19-20° - Sabian Symbol 50

"Wind, clouds and haste"

Lilith - Black Moon - Fascination and Denial

Lilith is a fictional point - the second empty focal point of elliptical orbit of the Moon around the Earth.
In mythology, Lilith refused to submit to Adam, rebelled against the connection between Adam and Eve, decided to escape from the world of people and made a connection with Satan.
In astrology, Lilith symbolises either fascination or refusal of topics with which she is connected with. Both, the fascination or the rejection of the given topics, can eventually engulf the person and take him "away" from the human world.

Cancer 10-11° - Sabian Symbol 101

"A clown making grimaces"

Chiron - Wounded Healer, inner teacher

Chiron is an asteroid between Saturn and Uranus. Its orbit is very unusual and represents a bridge between material and spiritual worlds.
According to mythology, Chiron was a great healer, wise teacher and one of the immortal Centaurs. Unfortunately, he was "deadly" injured by a poisonous arrow by Heracles, his favourite disciple. He was suffering in great pain but he could not die. Finally, he gave up his immortality for the benefit of Prometheus who was also suffering, and Chiron was sent to the underworld. In the underworld Zeus had mercy for him and he raised him to the heaven.
In astrology, Chiron symbolises our unhealable injuries and incurable trauma. However, if a person, instead of drowning in his own trauma, is able to accept the trauma and help others who are also suffering, and accept that suffering is part of life, then Chiron may be the key to wisdom, or even to some sort of "Initiation Gate".

Aries 16-17° - Sabian Symbol 17

"Two prim spinsters"

Applying Sun Trine Neptune
A vision of the future is possible now. This is a time for spiritual reflection, voluntary actions, artistic creativity, and leadership with vision.

Applying Moon Sextile Mars
This transit stimulates action, initiative, and decisiveness. It’s a good time for constructive projects and physical activity.

Applying Mercury Conjunct Sun
This contact often indicates that news or an announcement of some importance from leaders is imminent. If Mercury is retrograde, then this is a time of urgent matters or impulsive decisions. If Mercury is direct, it’s a time of decision making based on rules and regulations. Transportation-related issues are active now and they may require special attention.

Venus void in Gemini
Strong emotions precipitate action. Risks are taken that may not be supported by others. Impulsive decisions later prove troublesome. Matters of love and sex seem compulsive. In general, emotional and cultural matters are important themes now.

Applying Mars Conjunct Uranus
This is a time for bold initiatives and breakthroughs. Engineering and technological issues move center stage. Strong-willed persons dominate events, new leaders are chosen, and campaigns reach full swing. Plans for the future are formulated and some technological firsts may be implemented.

Applying Jupiter Square Pluto
Extreme financial conditions may cause concern, or even panic, now. Solutions to socio-economic problems are proposed that contain specific control and power clauses. It’s a time of intense greed and desire for power and profit.

Applying Saturn Square Uranus
This transit may coincide with a time of socio-political stress and even financial recession. Changes of rule and authority in many fields leave people feeling unstable and insecure. It’s a time of frustration, rigid resistance, and attacks on authorities. Transport and technological matters become problematic.

Applying Uranus Sextile Neptune
Social movements that are ideologically driven make news by inciting episodes. Systems and structures collapse or weaken.

Neptune void in Pisces
Trends are unclear. Not everything is known, there is much to suspect. The fabric of reality seems to be ripped asunder. Faith in leadership is low. Social and economic conditions are unstable and subject to devaluations. The future looks uncertain and no one is taking any chances. Beliefs about reality are challenged. Some feel overwhelmed, even flooded, literally and figuratively.

Applying Pluto Sextile Neptune
This is a time of important developments on an international and trans-cultural level. Typical events include challenges to governments and the beginnings of new cultural movements.

There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. We’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money are likely.

Sun sextile Uranus. We are willing to adapt to new circumstances, ideas, and unfamiliar situations. It’s a good time to join organizations and groups and to attend meetings or social events, as these can be enlightening. We can find creative solutions to problems now and effect positive changes. Flexibility is the key to success under this influence.

Mercury square Chiron. Communications may be strained, and possibly hurtful or perceived as such. Misunderstandings are more likely now. Decisions may also be hard to come by, as we tend to doubt ourselves or the effectiveness of our ability to solve problems. It can be hard to read the intention behind the words used to communicate now.

Venus trine Saturn. Affections stabilize and mature. Maturity with others allows us to take the bad with the good, and finds us seeing our relationships realistically. Small advances can be made in business and in partnerships through strengthening and bonding. Support from older people or authority figures may come by way of solid advice or more tangible help. Renewed ties to old friends are possible, or a new sense of responsibility can be felt in existing friendships. Business sense is good.

Mercury sextile Uranus. This is an opportune time to attend meetings and other organized group activities, to communicate online, and to take part in activities involving computers, scientific projects, and metaphysics. Unexpected gains may be realized through such mediums. The intuition is strong, and insights seem to come from “out of the blue”. Original, creative ideas are easy to come by. We can take advantage of our ability to see things in a new light by breathing life into old projects or solving problems in new, creative ways. Varying our usual routine may be especially rewarding.

Venus square Neptune. Relationship ups and downs characterize this transit – a time when romantic mirages are more than likely. We see what we hope to see, rather than what really is. The “highs” of a relationship begun under this energy may be thrilling, but the accompanying “lows” are bound to set in, and they can be extremely draining. Be careful not to set yourself up for disappointment. The same goes for finances – what appears to be a great buy is likely to turn out to be a financial drain or money pit. Lines can blur when it comes to pursuit of pleasure, as we can convince ourselves to believe what we want to believe.

Venus quincunx Pluto. This is a time of adjustments and re-assessments in our close personal relationships and/or with regards to our social lives. Issues of power and control can arise. Unreasonable or irrational fears of loss, or jealousy, could also emerge.

Sun quincunx Saturn. Doubts, the feeling of not being good enough, and lack of self-confidence might plague us under this influence. Lack of faith in ourselves and in life hinders our movements and initiatives.

Mercury quincunx Saturn. Communication challenges today make it hard to get a point across. Delays, “red tape”, and vague feelings of forgetting important details.

Mercury conjunct Sun. We are especially sharp, communicative, and open at this time, as our wants are aligned with our thoughts. It’s a favorable time for solving problems. What we say or write now has impact, for better or for worse!

When the Moon is in Aquarius

Attraction to all that is new and unusual, and an instinctive need for improvement, characterize the Moon in Aquarius. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional, and interactions are more impersonal than personal, under this influence. This is a time that promotes social gatherings, dealing with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas, and progressive changes. We are open to new methods of doing things and we have our eye on the future. It can be hard to stick to schedules now, as personal freedom is most important to us.

The Moon in Aquarius generally favors the following activities: Unusual or radical undertakings, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, joining a group.

When the Moon is in Pisces

We may not want to face reality while the Moon is in dreamy, impressionable Pisces. It can be a wistful, sensitive, intuitive, and compassionate time. We are especially imaginative, and our intuition reigns under this influence. Boundaries and walls come down, as Pisces energy merges and blends. It's a time when details are overlooked and feelings defy description.

The Moon in Pisces generally favors the following activities: Imaginative undertakings, mystical or spiritual pursuits, inner development, music and drama, going on a retreat, activities involving wate.

This week: The Sun is in Cancer; Mercury is in Cancer; Venus is in Gemini; Mars is in Taurus.

The Sun is in Cancer from June 21-July 22. We are self-protective and insular under this influence. Our attention turns to our nest–our families, homes, and anything that makes us feel “at home,” safe, and secure.

Nurturing and caring for our loved ones and pet projects come into focus. Emotions run deep, and we easily tune in to the world of feelings. Note that we are more in tune with the Moon while the Sun is in Cancer.

We may not want to grow up and face responsibilities or the outside world during the Sun-in-Cancer cycle. We should watch for dependence when we’d do better for ourselves otherwise. However, it’s a robust transit for recognizing our needs for comfort, safety, and familiarity. We’re inclined to form strong bonds and protect our loved ones.

Mercury is in Cancer from July 5-19. When Mercury is in Cancer, we move from the desire for quantity with information to the need for quality. We think, speak, and take in information on a deeper, more instinctive level. We have less interest in what is universal and more interest in what affects us personally and the people close to us. Our thoughts are colored by our emotions, making it more challenging to be objective.

We have outstanding and detailed memories during this cycle. We’re more likely to absorb information about the emotional background or atmosphere/setting around us, picking up on moods and tones in addition to facts.

While we may not have great confidence in our ability to generate new or original ideas, we have a well-developed sense of humor and radiate warmth in our communications. We take great interest in (and notice of) personal issues and interactions during this period. We don’t care much for intellectual stands if they’re devoid of a personal or heartful element, and we need intimate settings to express ourselves fully.

Venus is in Gemini from June 22-July 17. With Venus in Gemini, we have a finger in every pie. Curiosity motivates us on romantic and social levels. “Variety is the spice of life” is the motto now. We are friendly, communicative, charming, and interested.

While it’s a time when we can be animated and fun, we may also keep our distance on an emotional level. Attractions often begin with words, as we tend to bond more readily on a mental level while Venus is in Gemini. We’re most attracted to mentally interesting people. Sometimes, our curiosity leads us into relationships that we might not form otherwise. The shadow side of Gemini is fickleness or disinterest in profundity.

Venus in Gemini is flirtatious, captivating, and adaptable. We ask questions and want to keep things light and lively. During this transit, we do best when we’re mentally engaged and our desire for variety is addressed. Social stimulation is appealing. Good fortune with transportation and communication can figure strongly.

Mars is in Taurus from July 5-August 20. During this cycle, we are determined, stubborn, and resolute. Mars in Taurus can be passive until provoked, and is at its strongest when digging in its heels, outlasting, or defending something! In stark contrast to the impulsive Mars in Aries cycle, we tend to pursue our goals by plodding along patiently. We seek longevity and long-term satisfaction.

While Mars is in Taurus, we’re slow to change course or get started but persevering. Preferring methodical work over creative methods, we seek predictability and stability. We can be stubborn and resistant to change, and we’ll work hardest for material security. It’s not a time when we readily take risks. Instead, we seek concrete, long-lasting results. Our stamina is great, and our cravings and physical needs/desires are prominent.

Jupiter is in Aries.

Jupiter is in Aries from May 10 to October 28, 2022. This is part one of two, with the second and final part occurring from December 20, 2022, to May 16, 2023. Read more about Jupiter’s transit of Aries.

Jupiter will head back into Pisces from October 28 to December 20, 2022–the final part of three in the Jupiter-in-Pisces transit. Read more about the Jupiter in Pisces transit.

Jupiter in Aries: Dates

This time around, Jupiter covers the sign of Aries in two steps. It goes as follows:

Jupiter travels from May 10 to July 28, 2022 in the first 8-9 degrees of Aries. Jupiter turns retrograde in Aries on July 28th, traveling through Aries until October 28th, when it retreats into Pisces.
Jupiter, still retrograde, moves through the late degrees of Pisces from October 28th to November 23rd when Jupiter turns direct.
Now direct, Jupiter continues in the sign of Pisces from October 28th only until December 20th, 2022, when it moves on for good. Jupiter won’t return to Pisces until 2033.
From December 20th, 2022, to May 16th, 2023, Jupiter moves through the entire sign of Aries, moving on to Taurus on May 16th, 2023. Jupiter won’t return to Aries until 2034.

However, the higher vibration or expression of Jupiter seeks perspective. Jupiter’s perspective isn’t a detached, analytical, or detailed look at any given situation, but an overview–a look at the “big picture.” With Jupiter, ideally, we are able to rise above pettiness, mundane concerns, inconveniences, and the like.

Where Jupiter is currently transiting in your own chart is generally where you are inclined to find your joy at this stage in your development. This area of your life expands and improves in some manner.

There is also a need for new tools to boost and build these areas of life. In order to develop, we need to pursue our goals with more spirit and courage.

This is a powerful cycle in which to hold on to a spirit of growth and improvement, opening our minds to the idea that we can do more or better.

Our personal philosophy is a little more proactive and entitled, and our faith in ourselves brings rewards.

Saturn transits Aquarius from March 21 to July 1, 2020, and from December 17th, 2020, until March 7, 2023. Read about Saturn’s transit of Aquarius.

Uranus is in Taurus.

Uranus transits Taurus from May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018, and then from March 6th, 2019, until 2025/6. We approach money and personal possessions in new ways and learn to free ourselves from certain material constraints. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable emerge. We’re less inhibited about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. Above all, we’re challenging what we previously valued during this cycle.

There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. In general, we’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money, are likely. Our income and the energy we put into making money can be variable.

Romance & Relationships

Venus is in Gemini from June 22-July 17. In Gemini, Venus is communicative, sociable but emotionally aloof, insatiably curious, and a little bit flighty. Fickleness with our affections is a strong possibility, but the desire for a meeting of minds is strong and the urge to socialize dominates. Some detachment from our emotions is likely, which may be a breath of fresh air for some. The lines of communication open, although we may only scratch the surface of things. Under this influence, love is playful and lighthearted. Fickleness is the shadow side of Venus in Gemini.

This week: On Sunday, the 10th, we’re investing more energy and pride in harmonizing and connecting.

On Tuesday, the 12th, we’re ready to lock something down, make a commitment, or simply embrace responsibility. However, the reverse is true the next day, the 13th, when we can have a hard time seeing our relationships clearly. We’re incredibly open and vulnerable, and we might protect ourselves through believing fantasies rather than the real thing (or person).

Friday brings some awkward energy to our interactions. Issues of power and control can arise, but they can be hard to discern. Unreasonable or irrational fears of loss, or jealousy, could also emerge.

On Saturday, the 16th, we are more communicative and diplomatic. We’re inclined to talk about our feelings, connections, affections, and relationships.

Venus, the Goddess of Love: Highlights in the Coming Week:

Venus in Gemini Saying (or writing) it with style comes natural now. A yen for variety is a hallmark of this phase, and this especially applies to romantic experience and artistic tastes. (The latter tends to focus on literature in general and poetry in particular.) A sociable, congenial, slightly frivolous orientation sets in.

Venus semi-square Mars July 5. Tensions in relationships. Attempting to satisfy romantic needs and assertive/sexual needs simultaneously can be challenging.

Venus sextile Chiron July 5-6. Love has the power to heal old wounds. We are open to romantic feelings and more willing to act upon them.

Venus parallel the Sun July 9-10. A strong desire for harmony and comfort fill us now. We may be moved to express our affections.

Venus trine Saturn July 12. Relationships are stabilized and steady, although feelings are expressed reservedly, formally, or sparingly. A new sense of realism and maturity in existing partnerships. Relationships begun under this influence possess a distinctly practical theme, almost as if the partnership is a business endeavor, and have much potential to last.

Venus square Neptune July 13. Relationship ups and downs characterize this transit–a time when romantic mirages are more than likely. We see what we hope to see, rather than what really is. The “highs” of a relationship begun under this energy may be thrilling, but the accompanying “lows” are bound to set in, and they can be extremely draining. Be careful not to set yourself up for disappointment.

Venus quincunx Pluto July 15. This is a time of adjustments and re-assessments in our close personal relationships and/or with regards to our social lives. Issues of power and control can arise. Unreasonable or irrational fears of loss, or jealousy, could also emerge.

Venus parallel Mercury July 16. A congenial time when we appreciate diplomacy and socialize more readily.

Venus contraparallel Pluto July 17. Romantic intensity, a feeling of fatedness, possessiveness, fear of betrayal, and insecurity in relationships. Questions of trust can emerge in relationships. Looking for a commitment.

Venus semi-square Uranus July 20. Uncertainty about the desire to be close to someone. Freedom versus closeness. A desire to experiment in the romance department may be fleeting and ultimately unsatisfying or frustrating.

Venus semi-sextile Mercury July 20-21. It may be all too easy to say things we don’t mean/feel.

OCCULTATION DE VÉNUS PAR LA LUNE

Vénus disparaissant derrière la Lune.Image réalisée avec un CI de 280 mm équipé d’une caméra ZWO Asi224mc.Crédits Q. Gineys

Les conditions sont donc idéales pour observer le passage de la Lune devant la planète Vénus, la dissimulant à la vue pendant près de 40 minutes (entre 4 h 52 min et 5 h 37 min en temps local). Le contraste visuel est saisissant entre les deux corps, Vénus étincelle comme un diamant, alors que la Lune ne montre qu’un mince limbe de lumière solaire. Il rend le phénomène d’autant plus spectaculaire à suivre par l’extinction progressive de l’éclat vénusien. En raison de sa taille apparente (à peine 7 secondes de degré à comparer avec les 908 secondes de degré de la Lune), la disparition n’est pas instantanée, mais dure un peu moins d’une minute. Le début se produit du côté du limbe lunaire, très haut au-dessus de l’équateur lunaire. La fin voit l’émergence de Vénus depuis la partie sombre de la Lune encore plongée durablement dans la nuit.

Le phénomène a été observé par les astronomes de l’île dont nous publions ici les images, en particulier la séquence complète de l’occultation. On notera également la lumière cendrée de la Lune qui résulte de la rediffusion par la surface lunaire de la lumière du jour en provenance de la Terre.

Il faudra maintenant attendre le 21 août 2050 pour revoir Vénus cachée par la Lune dans le ciel réunionnais dans des conditions aussi favorables. Quant à la métropole, nous devrons nous contenter de celle du 10 janvier 2032, nettement moins avantageuse, car elle surviendra dans le crépuscule.

On June 28th, the New Moon occurred in the sign of Cancer, prompting a new beginning and coloring the energies of July. This is a time for feeding our foundation — all of that which we call home, including the foundation we’ve built inside ourselves, needs to be tended to and honored. It’s a time to recognize the importance of our family and our personal circle of friends and the security, sense of belonging, and safety we derive from them.

We have the wherewithal and courage to pursue our desires and stick with our plans, but we should avoid jumping the gun. Because this New Moon was square Jupiter, we should watch for overdoing, exaggeration, and misjudgment or false starts.

This month, on July 14th, a Full Moon occurs in the sign of Capricorn. This lunation reminds us that we can’t ignore our commitments to the outside world. We need to take care of our responsibilities, attend to business, act maturely, and take charge. Our ideas stand out as innovative.

On July 19th, Chiron turns retrograde, and will remain retrograde until December 23rd. This cycle is good for introspection and reassessing the mental and physical health programs in our lives. We tend to look within for healing with Chiron retrograde.

On July 21st, Jupiter and Saturn form a semi-square, and when we think in big terms, or if we have the urge to expand, we confront obstacles or we are forced to face reality. Some re-structuring of our lives and of our business goals is now in order. There is no “easy fix” just now – we need to keep working hard and can make good progress, even if there are fits and starts. It is best to breathe new life into old plans rather than to strike out with a new plan altogether. We should watch for overextension, which can lead to frustration. This is the first of three transits, with the other two perfections to occur on September 21st, 2022, and March 21st, 2023.

On July 28th, the New Moon occurs in the sign of Leo, prompting a new beginning. This is a time to uncover and share those things that make us special — our unique, creative powers. We might let our “inner child” come out and play, and possibly pursue plans related to games, sports, recreation, speculation, hobbies, children, romance, and dating.

Also on July 28th, Jupiter turns retrograde, and slowing down projects or plans may be appropriate in order to gain perspective. Initially, our enthusiasm and confidence might wane, and we may experience a crisis of faith or hope. “Luck” may be less overt during this period from July 28th to November 23rd, but it’s a good time for looking within and reassessing recent goals. Note that Jupiter spends its retrograde first in Aries and later in Pisces.

On July 31st, Uranus aligns with the Moon’s true North Node, and we attract people or lessons into our lives that encourage us to detach from traditions or conventions that are keeping us from growing. It’s a good time to make pivotal friendships or group connections.

At this time, life lessons are about learning to be more self-sufficient while concerning ourselves with bettering the world around us; that is, with others, the community, and society in mind. It can be about retraining ourselves to change our definition of comfort, abundance, opulence, security, and pleasure, perhaps in ways that also benefit the group or the planet as a whole. We are also especially aware of current values in society, and we can be excited about helping to shape them. As well, we are redefining what it means to be secure, comfortable, wealthy, or stable.
