INDEPENDENCE DAY – In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

Dear Readers,

The SUN in Cancer from June 22- July 22- seeks stability and emotion as it supports both transiting Saturn in SCORPIO, and transiting JUPITER. This month we find ourselves more involved with creating some form of stability, whether it is personal, business or financially oriented. Emotions run deep, yet we stay true to our own sense of logic. A month of renewal.

MOON ENTERS LIBRA INDEPENDENCE DAY

What a perfect alliance, as the MOON in the sign of Libra on JULY 4th represents union, balance and equality for all. This particular MOON opens us up to connect, to get involved, to harmonize with one another. As Libra is symbolized by the scales of justice, the need for AMITY is totally activated. How apropos for this day!

MERCURY, THE PLANET OF CHAT, NOW DIRECT.

We can all breathe easily now that Mercury has gone direct. Communication is much clearer, most of us feel less fuzzy when making decisions. Good time to get going on projects that have left on the back burner.

FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN ON JULY 12, 2014 – EMOTIONS RUN HIGH!

The FULL MOON in the earthy, Saturn-ruled sign of Capricorn indicates supreme practicality. Achievement, responsibility, structure – these are not qualities that we normally attribute to the Moon. In fact, the Moon is said to be in its detriment in Capricorn because its qualities of emotion and fluidity have little room in the structured world in which Capricorn excels. However the effects of a FULL MOON create an intense vortex of energy as we are pulled between emotion and physicality. Emotions can run high, energy may be scattered

Jupiter, the planet of opportunity, was last seen in LEO in 2002. It takes exactly twelve years to travel through all the signs of the zodiac. It lures us towards our personal dreams, the reality that we’re creating something together. Jupiter is a beacon, a light. As it moves into Leo we may find ourselves more involved with family matters, love, speculation. Just a freedom seeking aspect all together.

VENUS, THE PLANET OF LOVE MOVES FROM GEMINI INTO CANCER JULY 19, 2014

Venus is the 2nd closest planet to the Sun and is located between Earth and Mercury. Venus is called the Morning star for about half the year and the Evening star for the other half, and is visible from Earth.

Presently, Venus, the planet of pleasure and play is in the fun, social, communicative sign of Gemini, moving into the more emotional MOON -RULED sign of Cancer on the 19th.

While in the fun sign of Gemini we have our hands in everything. We’re curious, we’re social, motivated to be on the move. Maybe even to try our hand at something creative, like an art class, or writing perhaps? It’s a time to let down our hair as we become more animated out there. Variety mixed in with a lot of humor.

A domestic feel here as Venus moves into Cancer July 19. It’s all about family and attachments. However Venus in Cancer can be portrayed as moody, emotional, ruled by the ever changing Moon. However it’s a great time to nest, to pay attention to family, do some home remodeling. Just nurture the nurturer inside of you.;
