Venus in Leo Tangos with Pluto in Aquarius While Uranus in Taurus Calls the Shots as it Conjuncts Mars on July 15

 

Venus just entered Leo on July 11 and it wastes no time creating more drama on July 12 when it opposes Pluto in 0 degrees of Aquarius. By this time, I think that all of us are getting used to Pluto in Aquarius taking the hits when planets change signs and aspect it.  Venus opposing Pluto can trigger intense emotions, power dynamics and control issues.  And let's not forget that manipulation can rear its ugly head with this aspect in play.  Paranoia is another possible manifestation and I wouldn't count out the potential for attracting obsessive people into our orbit.  

On July 15, we have a real powerhouse aspect: Mars and Uranus are conjunct in 26 degrees of Taurus.  This aspect occurs every two years, and the last one happened on August 2, 2022 in 22 degrees of Taurus. What are the themes of a Mars-Uranus conjunction? For starters, we want to break free of limiting situations in our pursuit of freedom and major change. Structures tend to get broken down and Uranus by its very nature can be very disruptive.  It is also an accident-prone aspect, so we all need to be careful on this day.  Risk-taking is not exactly a good idea when Mars and Uranus are conjunct. Uranus is not all that comfortable in the fixed sign of Taurus and this time around (it has been in Taurus since 2018), it has done a number with destructive weather patterns. Uranus has an 84-year cycle and the last time it was in Taurus was from 1935 to 1942.  This period coincided with the Great Depression, the rise of fascism and World War II.  So perhaps we can learn something that period.  History has a way of repeating itself if we don't pay attention.

The effects of the Mars-Uranus conjunction will last for more than one day; they are setting up a pattern of sudden upsets and surprising incidents that feature very rebellious energy. I know that I personally have been feeling its effects all of this week because it exactly squares my Pluto in Leo and is inconjunct my Neptune in Libra. I have been hearing from clients and friends that they are feeling it too.  The bottom line with this aspect is that it causes us to feel like we can't endure a certain situation any longer. 

It is a little more serious this time because this conjunction is also conjunct the fixed star Algol in 26 degrees of Taurus.  I am by no means an expert on fixed stars, but I can tell you that the connection to Algol is associated with leaders losing power, or in the olden days, literally losing their heads.  And the Republican National Convention starts in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on July 15...

I have written an article on the upcoming Mars-Uranus conjunction that has been published on PowerFortunes.com.  You can read it at: https://bit.ly/4eCJosH

Uranus in Taurus is cutting us some slack on July 18 when it receives a supportive sextile from the Sun in 26 degrees of Cancer. Sextiles are positive aspects that create opportunities.  The Sun sextiling Uranus can bring pleasant surprises, stimulating encounters and socializing is emphasized.  We can also obtain increased self-awareness.  But make no mistake, we are still in the mood for something new and different. It's just that now the potential exists for those changes to be positive.  Hold onto that thought.

The coronavirus outbreak caused me to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people were concerned about the spread of the infection. I have decided to suspend my in-person Reiki sessions until further notice, so all of my Reiki sessions will be distant Reiki sessions for the foreseeable future. But a distant Reiki session is the perfect opportunity to safely build up your immune system and if you have contracted coronavirus, you can be treated safely from the comfort of your home. My procedure is to have a conversation with a client about what they hope to achieve from a session, we set up a time for the session to take place when they will be in a state to receive healing energy and I follow up with a telephone conversation to discuss their experience and my perception of their blockages. I do miss seeing my clients, so I am now offering Zoom consultations/intakes before the session so that we can see each other. I have also incorporated a new technique with my distance Reiki treatments since I don’t always have a photo of my client.  I use a teddy bear so that I can scan and focus the healing energy where it is needed. If this appeals to you, please feel free to contact me by email at lindasim54@gmail.com or call me at 617-304-2205. The cost for distance Reiki sessions is based on a sliding scale of $30 -$50. For your convenience, I accept Venmo and Zelle for payment. Zelle payments can be sent using my telephone number

617-304-2205. I have also written an article about distance Reiki, which is available at:

Mercury in Cancer and Uranus in Taurus Lead the Way to a Super Full Moon in Capricorn

 

There has been a huge planetary shift in the past week and there are more changes coming with a Super Full Moon in Capricorn on July 13.  On July 5th, Mars moved into Taurus and Mercury entered Cancer.  It represented a shift from these two planets going from fire and air to earth and water.  On that day I tweeted:

It’s a day of major changes today as 2 planets change signs. Mars moves into Taurus and we become more motivated to be practical and tenacious. Mercury enters Cancer as our communication becomes more emotional and we are apt to listen more. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) July 5, 2022

On July 9, Mercury in Cancer is exactly square Jupiter in 8 degrees of Aries.  This aspect can be a mixed bag because squares to Jupiter are never totally bad, like Mars squaring Saturn or Pluto, for example.  This square will bring optimism and a broad outlook to assist us in making plans for the future.  But it does have the potential for overlooking small details which can lead to mistakes and errors in judgment.  It has an everything looks great feeling which can be misleading. I have a natal Mercury-Jupiter square myself, so I know first-hand that it can feel like anything is possible and the sky is the limit.  

On the following day, July 10, the Sun in Cancer is forming an exact supportive sextile to Uranus in 18 degrees of Taurus.  Sextiles are very favorable aspects but you have to take advantage of them and work them to reap their benefits.  The Sun sextiling Uranus can bring pleasant surprises as it encourages us to try something new and exciting.  We should be feeling more creative and have more insight.  It's a day to let your freak flag fly and be spontaneous.

Pluto in Capricorn is also going to factor in heavily with this Full Moon.  On July 12, the United States will be experiencing the second hit of its Pluto Return with Pluto in 27 degrees of Capricorn. The first hit occurred on February 22, 2022 and the third will happen on December 28, 2022.  So the bottom line is that we are spending the year of 2022 engaged in a Pluto Return for the United States.  This involved confrontations, conflicts and upsets in addition to changes in our economy and banking structures.  

The Full Moon in 21 degrees of Capricorn on July 13 is deemed to be a Super Moon because it is so close to the earth that it is highly visible. It is also conjunct Pluto in 27 degrees of Capricorn and it will be activating the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in 22 degrees of Capricorn of January 12, 2020.  Don't be surprised if there are more issues emerging pertaining to government control of our lives. This Super Full Moon will be intensely emotional as power is also a major theme.  Will it be power over the people or power of the people?

Anyone with planets in 21-27 degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most.  Once again, I am caught in the crossfire with my Chiron in Capricorn, Neptune in Libra and Uranus in Cancer being in the line of fire, so to speak.  I also encourage people to think back to the New Moon in 12 degrees of Capricorn that occurred on January 12, 2022.  What did you begin back then?  You might be seeing some culmination or completion of that cycle now.  The Full Moon is also trining Uranus in 18 degrees of Taurus, which can be a very positive and constructive aspect.  Don't rule out technology as being a friend to us now or the potential for new healing approaches to emerge.

Neptune in 25 degrees of Pisces is also quite active in this Full Moon.  It is squaring Venus in 25 degrees of Gemini, which is a boon for creativity and romance. But it can lead to disinformation and some deception, so be alert...  But the nicest aspect that Neptune in Pisces makes is a trine to the Sun in 21 degrees of Cancer and Ceres in 25 degrees of Cancer while also forming a supportive sextile to the Full Moon in 21 degrees of Capricorn.  Hopefully this will bring out a more nurturing side to all of us and help provide food to those who need it.  Just maybe this will bring an end to those food shortages with that trine to Ceres in Cancer.

If you are curious about how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you personally, please consider getting an astrological reading. These are very challenging and unique times; an astrological reading could provide some much-needed clarity and guidance. As an astrologer and a healer, I am delighted to be able to include a Health and Wellbeing Report that provides a focus on health-related matters in the natal chart and offers nutritional advice and stress management tips.  Who couldn’t use that these days?
