Current Moon Phase

The Bigger Picture | July 30 - August 3

There is a lot going on this week. Hang in there!

Social-loving Venus in (sidereal) Gemini is stirring things up beneath the surface and acting as a catalyst for change this week, triggering the Uranus-Pluto Square.

Pluto is in (sidereal) Sagittarius. Beliefs can bring us together, but they can also divide us. Uranus is in mystical Pisces, bringing unexpected events out of the blue and also unexpected endings and exits.

At the same time there is a harmonious trine involving communication (air) between Venus in Gemini, Saturn in the partnerships, communication and karmic rebalance of (sidereal) Libra (ruled by Venus), and Chiron, the wounded Healer in the ideas and ideals of humanitarian "Group-think" Aquarius.

This aspect is encouraging us to take responsibility for our healing.  Releasing old wounds through forgiveness and acceptance.  Forgiving ourselves and those around us for past mistakes and transgressions, so that we can all move on and healing can begin at the individual, familial, societal and collective level.  Learning to accept not only the common ground that we share, but the differences and diversity that make us each uniquely human.

Take some decisive action this week to create some healthy change in your life.  Have that healing conversation with someone you love.   Connect with your inner wisdom and higher self through reflection, meditation and journaling.   Create some healthy daily rituals in your life and changes in habit that help to facilitate healing in your life.

We are feeling more nostalgic and also more emotional now that Mercury (the messenger) has moved into the roots, feelings and emotional tides of (sidereal) Cancer, joining expansive Jupiter and the Sun. Jupiter tends to make everything feel "larger then life" and it's important to try and take a more light-hearted approach now and keep things in perspective.

This week, Mercury in (sidereal) Cancer is square (friction) Ceres (nurturing) Vesta (devotion) and Mars (drive, motivation, anger) in the partnerships and communication and karmic rebalance of (sidereal) Libra.

There are many dynamics at work here including: Family, roots and feelings vs. partnership needs. What role do we play in our family? Where do we belong? Who and what do we feel devoted to? Who and what makes us feel nurtured and cared for? Where is there a lack of these things in our lives? How is this effecting us emotionally?

If you are feeling overwhelmed this week. Find someone to talk to.

Take good care of yourself and realize that this is just a cycle in time that we are all moving through together. It effects us all.

Try to learn what you can from it and apply those lessons learned toward future choices and decisions.
