Jupiter in Aquarius  (I Grow in Unconventional Ways) 

Jupiter is in Retrograde and so it has moved out of Pisces and backwards into Aquarius. Jupiter is known as the Great Benefic, and so the effects of Jupiter Retrograde isn't that much different from Jupiter Direct. When Jupiter goes retrograde, it isn't really bad per se, but rather this is a time when we should refrain from taking too many risks, and our optimism should be tempered with a little skepticism. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.....

JWhen Jupiter Retrograde transits Aquarius it triggers growth and expansion in the area of technology, altruism, and personal freedom. This is a good time to review any changes that we want to make in our lives on a personal level and in the world in general.

The Natal house occupied by Aquarius in your birth chart is the area of life where the ingress of Jupiter Retrograde into Aquarius will most strongly be felt.

• If your rising sign is Aries, Aquarius is your 11th House
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Aquarius is your 10th House
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Aquarius is your 9th House
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Aquarius is your  8th House
• If your rising sign is Leo, Aquarius is your 7th House
• If your rising sign is Virgo, Aquarius is your 6th House
• If your rising sign is Libra, Aquarius is your  5th House
• If your rising sign is Scorpio, Aquarius is your 4th House
• If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Aquarius is your 3rd House
• If your rising sign is Capricorn, Aquarius is your 2nd House
• If your rising sign is Aquarius, Aquarius is your 1st House
• If your rising sign is Pisces, Aquarius is your 12th House

Example. 

Jupiter in Aquarius and the 4th House 

When Jupiter transits the fourth house, the urge to grow plays out in the area of home. Your home could be expanded or enlarged in some way such as by the removal of clutter, re-arranging furniture, or remodeling. The influence of Aquarius contributes an unusual or unconventional flavor to the design or style of the home.  You want more harmony and stability now so you might work on improving your family relations by spending more time with your family and being more accepting of any differences that make you all unique individuals.  

With Jupiter in retrograde this could manifest as making plans to change your home that are unrealistic. For example, you may learn that the wall you want to tear down has a hidden support beam and doing so would make the room collapse;  your plans for remodeling exceed your budget, or the beautiful furniture you purchased is impractical. 

 Aspects 

Aspects, or relationships between planets is another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be interpreted. Let us suppose that you have Venus at 02° Scorpio. This would mean that Jupiter at 29° Aquarius is forming a trine, soft aspect to your Natal Venus. 

When transit Jupiter Trines your Natal Venus you are much more friendly and sociable. You have a lighthearted, optimistic attitude, and people notice your chart and charisma. It is possible that a new love relationship can bloom at this time - however since Jupiter is in retrograde don't let love blind you to the other person's faults.

The sense of humor is more jovial and people generally have a more youthful outlook. 

Where Leo falls in your Natal Chart is the area of life that is being activated by Mercury in Leo. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Leo is your 5th House.

Example 

Mercury in Leo and the 10th House 

I have big thoughts & ideas about my career & public image

Mercury (I Think) in Leo (I will) in the 10th house of career, ambition, profession, and your public standing can translate to I have big thoughts and ideas about my career. When Mercury is in Leo and the 10th house, you think a great deal about your goals and aspirations in terms of your career. You have big dreams and goals and you have more conversations about them with others, especially your boss or mentor(s). You can see the big picture now and make long terms plans for your future and you take a more practical and serious approach to achieving success. 

Aspects 

Aspects, or relationships between planets are another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be considered. Let us say, for example that you have Venus at 2° Scorpio. That would mean that Mercury in 0° Leo is applying a Square to Venus in 2° Scorpio. A square is a type of aspect in which the energy or urge of one planets is squaring off against the energy or urge of another planet. 

Mercury Square Natal Venus can translate to mental laziness in that you just don't want to have to think for yourself so you'll likely engage in mentally light activities that don't require too much thought on your part such as reading a romance novella that is short on plot and heavy on romance or sexual tension. So while you may have big thoughts and ideas about your career, you aren't likely to do anything to implement them if it requires too much work.

Full Moon in Aquarius

 

Full Moon in Aquarius 

7/23/21 7:37 PM Pacific 

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun and the Moon occupy the same degrees of opposing astrological signs. As you can see from the above Full Moon Chart, the Sun is at 1° Leo and the Moon is 180° away at 1° Aquarius making this a Full Moon. When two planets form an opposition in this manner it creates a division. Two things are being split apart or divided. 

The Big Picture 

Aquarius is associated with groups of like minded individuals. They usually come together for a single purpose which serves the group's interests or agenda and which is greater than that of any one individual. For this reason Aquarius rules over clubs, organizations, friends, groups, and associations. 

On the flipside, Leo is more about the individual. Leo is the dramatic actor, proud and territorial  who needs to take center stage and get all the attention for themselves.  They are not concerned with the needs of the many (in a general sense here) but rather with their own needs. 

So what we can expect from this Full Moon in Aquarius? Well a divide between the group agenda / needs and the needs of the individual is expected. With the Full Moon in Aquarius friends and associations come under scrutiny and some relationships or associations may come to an end. Alternately, an acquaintance may become a closer friend. People are, generally speaking, less materialistic now and more charitable. People tend to focus on their dreams for the future now as well as their place in the world.  Now is the time to take steps towards realizing ones dreams or abandon them all together for something more realistic.  

Working with Full Moon in Aquarius Energy

• Donate time, money, or energy to a worthy humanitarian cause 
• Sign a petition for a cause that you believe in 
• Join a group that interest you. 
• Start a club or organization that you would want to join. 
• Participate in a Protest March 
• Get involved in local politics 
• Research a topic that you're in interested in (especially if it involves technology or cutting edge science) 
• Give yourself more freedom   

The Personal Touch  

To better understand how the Full Moon in Aquarius will affect you on an individual level you need to look at the houses in which Aquarius falls in your Natal Chart. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Aquarius is your 11th House 
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Aquarius is your 10th House 
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Aquarius is your 9th House 
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Aquarius is your  8th House
• If your rising sign is Leo, Aquarius is your 7th House
• If your rising sign is Virgo, Aquarius is your 6th House
• If your rising sign is Libra, Aquarius is your  5th House 
• If your rising sign is Scorpio, Aquarius is your 4th House 
• If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Aquarius is your 3rd House 
• If your rising sign is Capricorn, Aquarius is your 2nd House 
• If your rising sign is Aquarius, Aquarius is your 1st House
• If your rising sign is Pisces, Aquarius is your 12th House 

For example, in my own chart Aquarius is in the 4th Natal House and Leo is in the 10th.  These two houses are known as the Angular Houses (along with the 1st and 7th) and these are very powerful houses. The fourth house is known as the Imum Coeli (IC) and the tenth house is known as the Midheaven or Medium Coeli (MC). 

Whereas the IC rules over our home and private life, the MC rules over our public life and reputation. For me, there would seem to be a divide between my sense of privacy and what I share with the public (or how I am perceived by the public). With the Full Moon in the 4th house, endings related to the home and family are indicated. This may also be a situation that I would want to keep from the public or to somehow control the flow of information so as the prevent misunderstanding with the public.  

You can go deeper by checking the aspects between the Full Moon in 1° Aquarius and other points in your natal chart. For example, in my own natal chart, the Full Moon at 1° Aquarius is applying a conjunction to my Jupiter at 2° Aquarius. When the Moon Conjunct Jupiter, You experience an emotional high and more optimistic about everything. This is a good time to consider the 'big questions" in life without having to get too deep

How will the Full Moon in Aquarius affect you?

The Sun in Leo 2021

 

The Sun in Leo 

7/22/21 7:26 AM  (Pacific) 

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

Sun in Leo (General) 

When the Sun is in Leo, people are more interested in fun and less interested in work and responsibilities. They usually spend more time with their friends, socializing, going on dates, or they spend more time on their hobbies.  People can be more extroverted and high on life.  People just want more attention, in general, and they are more likely to stunt on others or be more melodramatic to get that attention. 

Where Leo falls in your natal chart is the area of life that is being activated by the Sun in Leo. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Leo is your 5th House. 
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Leo is your 4th House. 
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Leo is your 3rd House. 
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Leo is your 2nd House. 
• If your rising sign is Leo, Leo is your 1st House. 
• If your rising sign is Virgo, Leo is your 12th House. 
• If your rising sign is Libra, Leo is your 11th House. 
• If your rising sign is Scorpio, Leo is your 10th House. 
• If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Leo is your 9th House. 
• If your rising sign is Capricorn, Leo is your 8th House. 
• If your rising sign is Aquarius, Leo is your 7th House. 
• If your rising sign is Pisces, Leo is your 6th House. 

Example 

Sun + Leo + 10th House 

I am flamboyant and dramatic in public. 

When the Sun is in Leo and the 10th house, your focus is on your career, goals, and the direction of your life. You may find yourself torn between wanting to have fun and wanting to work hard to have more accolades and notoriety. Your higher ups are definitely giving you the attention (and scrutiny) that you want so you're going to have to be careful that you present yourself as someone who is responsible and mature and who can make the right decisions. Whenever you feel like you're started to get a little over-the-top, tone it down.  It's okay to have fun, to socialize, and engage in your hobbies on your own time --- just don't let it interfere with your work. 

Aspects 

Aspects, or relationships between planets, is another dimension of astrological interpretation that could be and should be considered. Let us suppose that you have Mars in 9° Taurus, then this would mean that the Transit Sun is forming a square to your Natal Taurus. A square is a type of aspect in which the urge or energy of one planet is in conflict with the urge or energy of another planet. When the Sun forms a square to Mars you can feel restless and have either too much or too little energy. You can be more irritable and find yourself quarrelling with others.

Venus in Virgo (General)

With Venus in Virgo, people are generally more discriminating and analytical, especially in the pursuit of love. This does not make the search for love any easier. People are usually more interested in their work and less interested in love. If they do fall for someone it will be because it makes a logical sense. They may even pursue love in the same way that they  pursue a new job, making a list and checking off their criteria.  In terms of work, people generally enjoy taking a systematic approach to their work and bringing order where they see chaos. Virgo, also rules our health so this is a good time to show your body some love by getting healthy and developing healthy routines. 

Where Virgo falls in your natal chart is where you will feel the impact of Venus in Virgo.

• If your rising sign is Taurus, Virgo is your 5th house
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Virgo is your 4th house
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Virgo is your 3rd house.

Example 

Venus in Virgo and the 11th House 

I express my love in a critical, analytical manner with my friends. 

With Venus in Virgo and the 11th house you take a practical approach to your search for love or romance. A friend could introduce you to someone special or you could meet someone through any groups to which you belong.  You may find yourself attracted to someone who shares your interest and is involved in the same groups. In some cases a friend may even become a lover. You are drawn to the strange and unusual. 

Aspects 

Aspects, or relationships between planets,  are another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be considered. Let us suppose that you have. Let us suppose then that you have the Moon at 29° Aries. This would mean that Venus in 0° Virgo is separating a Trine to your Moon in 29° Aries.  When the Moon forms a trine to Venus you feel more charming and attractive. You're more affectionate and nurturing. You may feel somewhat lazy and decide to spend more time at home (especially with a loved one). Your relationships in general improve, but especially your relationships with women. 

How will the ingress of Venus in Virgo manifest for you?

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

Mercury in Cancer (General) 

When Mercury (I think) is in Cancer (I feel) people's minds and thought processes are ruled, or over ruled,  by their emotions.  The mind is clouded by the emotions and it isn't as quick as it is normally. Decisions may be based on feelings rather than facts.  The House where Cancer falls in your natal chart is where you are likely to feel the effects of mercury in Cancer. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Cancer is your 4th House. 
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Cancer is your 3rd House. 
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Cancer is your 2nd House. 
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Cancer is your 1st House. 
• If your rising sign is Leo, Cancer is your 12th House. 
• If your rising sign is Virgo, Cancer is your 11th House. 
• If your rising sign is Libra, Cancer is your 10th House.

Example 

Mercury in Cancer and the 9th House 

I think about how I feel nostalgic and moody about my spiritual growth and dreams. 

The urge to think expresses itself as nostalgic, nurturing, and moody and this generally manifest in the area of spiritual growth, dreams, and long journeys. Mercury in Cancer in the 9th house can indicate a mind clouded by one's feelings about spirituality and their direction in life. Any decisions made regarding your spiritual growth will likely be based on feelings rather than cold, hard, facts. You may also feel the urge to travel to places you've never been before or meet and speak with people from other cultures.   

Aspects 

Aspects, or relationships between planets,  are another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be considered. Let us suppose then that you have Natal Pluto at 3° Libra that would mean that Mercury at 0° Cancer is making a square to your Natal Pluto. A square is a type of hard (difficult) aspect in which the energy or urge of one planet is squaring off against the energy or urge of another planet creating friction. When Mercury squares Pluto you can be more pessimistic and brooding. You're more suspicious of other people now and their motivations and feel the urge to investigate them to get to the bottom of the matter.

New Moon in Cancer

 

New Moon in Cancer 

7/9/21  6:17 PM  (Pacific) 

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

New Moons  

A new moon occurs when both the Sun and the Moon occupy the same degree of the same sign of the zodiac at the same time. As you can see from the chart above the Sun and Moon both occupy 18° Cancer making this a new moon. New Moons bring new beginning and opportunities. 

New Moon in Cancer 

When the New Moon is in Cancer, people are generally more moody and emotions run deeper than usual They may isolate themselves in familiar surroundings and/or with close family to reflect on their emotions and nurture themselves.  Alternately, they may concern themselves more with the feelings of others and act in a more nurturing and motherly way towards them. People can open up more easily to close friends and family. 

Generally people may feel more domestic and find themselves engaging more in domestic activities such as cooking, cleaning, and making the home a place of peace, serenity, and solace.  Once should avoid overeating now as you might be apt to be more lazy and thus gain weight.  The intuition is more acute now and is felt through the emotions so your initial feelings and impressions about people and things should be give more weight as this time. 

General New Moon in Cancer Ideas 

• exercise more empathy and compassion 
• try to be less sensitive to criticism
• allow yourself and others to experience their emotions without judgement 
• understand that feeling (yours or another's) are valid whether you agree or disagree with them. 
• check in with your mother and older, female relatives 
• revisit and heal your past
• finish up any home projects 
• resolve family matters

The House is Where it Happens 

Simply stated, the New Moon in Cancer will give you the opportunity to nurture some aspect of your life. To discover what area that would be, we look to the house that Cancer occupies in your Natal Chart. 

The Astrological House in which the New Moon occurs in your Natal Chart gives an indication of the area of life activated by the New Moon and where you can expect to see the energy of the New Moon in Cancer to play out. Since the June New Moon occurs in 18° Cancer, you would look at your Natal, or Birth Chart to ascertain in what House 0° Cancer occurs.  

The Twelve Houses of Life 

1. The self, ego, appearance, initiative, leadership, fresh starts and new beginnings. 
2. Money and material matters.  Your physical environment, income, money, and your sense of self-esteem. 
3. Communication in all its forms (thinking, writing, speaking, etc... ) as well as siblings, local travel, teachers and community events. 
4. Home, privacy, your basic sense of security, your mother, children, and your own ability to nurture others.
5. Creative expression, drama, attention, love, and romance. 
6. Health and service to others. Your routine, diet, exercise and helpfulness to others. 
7. Marriage, partnerships, and relationships of all kinds.  Contracts, business deals, etc... 
8. Birth, death, sex, other people's money and property. 
9. Expansion, the higher mind, foreign matters (languages, cultures, travel) luck, adventure, risk, philosophy, ethics and morals. 
10. The public, fame, honors, reputation, awards, boundaries, rules, discipline, authority, the father. 
11. Groups of people such as friends and associations, networking, social justice.  Originality, sudden unexpected events, invention, surprises, and all things futuristic.
12. Endings. Completion, tying up loose ends, old age, karma, making amends, and the afterlife. Imagination, creativity, poetry, and the subconscious mind. 

Example 

For example, let us say that your rising sign is Scorpio that would put the New Moon in your 9th house of expansion. With the New Moon in the 9th House you could be presented with opportunities to broaden your mind and expand your horizons. You could meet new people, do new things, explore new cultures, lifestyles, and perspectives.  You may feel more adventurous and daring. Spirituality may become more important to you, and you may re-visit your spiritual beliefs and practices. You may also get the opportunity to travel, if not, you can read about new and different places that appeal to you. 

How will the New Moon in Cancer manifest for you?
