A Frisky Family

The first day of July gives birth to a frisky family of “wandering stars” bracketed between a Mercurial transit to Neptune trine the first day and opposing near the last. We begin the month  communicating our visionary ideals with increasing awareness and end the month in creative negotiation and compromise by merging our idealism with our pragmatism. Made all the more electrifying by two erupting eclipses during the month and a third accompanying the next. Mercury is at the ending degrees of Gemini making a lovely trine to Neptune then Jupiter sparking our creative imagination to expand beyond the familiar and envision our “global family” as one. The Moon in Scorpio is approaching a waxing trine with the Sun in Cancer emphasizing our emotional need to feel that we belong with those whom we call family. Together Sun and Moon bring us a sense of future fulfillment if we nurture our life vitality with a creative investigation of our inherited past and deepen our relationship with ourself and others. The big gun for the day is Uranus stationing Rx giving the universal principle of “boundless freedom” a radical rotation shifting our focus from an external to an internal  viewing of  humanity that can induce innovative changes in our compassion, empathy, and universal understanding. Venus in Taurus square Neptune in Aquarius is asking us to evaluate personal resources that are contributing to our attitudes about humanity, spirituality, and global consciousness. If we are truly interested in breaking free from past dogmas, this is a month when we can dissolve the boundaries of reality that are preventing us from collectively attracting abundance for our global family. Our only hesitation is our fear of scarcity and change.

    You are consistently producing valuable and evocative posts!

    Having Venus in Taurus, since I have it there natally, is not only a great comfort but a wonderful buffer against some rather stringent practical concerns…

    The Sun/Moon trine, in the B.I.D.E. System (according to how I feel right now) is:

    Vitalizing Active Feelings
    Impels Determined Accomplishment by
    Nurturing an Analytical Attitude.

    I resonate with this and with what you said, “nurture our life vitality with a creative investigation of our inherited past”; one manifestation of which is borrowing an 1,168-page Novel I read three times in my 20s (I’m 63 now…). I decided to read it again to see what it means to me now, since I’ve peeled many layers of inherited past from my character…

    And you constantly contributing depth of insight and richness of interpretation to my posts, I thank you. Do you hear the gentle influences of the B.I.D.E. system in my interpreting, albeit in a highly subjective way?

    Your commitment to build a bridge between your past and present seems an exquisite treasure of your natal Venus in Taurus, and reading 1,168 pages the perky prancing of Mercury at home in Gemini dancing with the grace and charm of your natal Moon.

    Hi Lauren

    just to say that I found what you had to say on Uranus turning retro very, very apposite at a personal level. May email you on this since I think you’d be interested!

    And I love the Vatican Zodiac. Thanks.

    Anne
