“Far better to live your own path imperfectly than to live another’s perfectly.” Bhagavad Gita
Even though the Moon is in traditionalist Capricorn, we advance our cause today by daring to be different. Coloring outside of the lines may in fact be the way to earn that “A” on our reports cards with the creative Leo Sun trining individualistic Uranus (1:21 am EDT). We may also want to seek out unusual pursuits or amusements. Or learn new technology.
Lovable Venus is also trining anchoring Saturn (3:38 am EDT). This is normally a stabilizing influence for relationships and for helping to put our finances on solid footing. Venus-Saturn is also associated with the emergence of May-December romances. Or, at the very least with this aspect, a day when we may want to consider seeking out the company of older, wiser individuals. “The years teach much which the days never knew.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Famous July 31 Birthdays:Geraldine Chaplin, J.K. Rowling. “It is our choices…that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” J.K. Rowling

Going deeper with our feelings may be easier with the Moon moving through penetrating Scorpio which tends to naturally predispose us to want to dig beneath the surface of things to get to the heart of a matter. Mental Mercury is also quinqunx to investigative Pluto, Scorpio’s modern-day ruler, injecting more intensity and passion into our thinking. There is very little that will deter us now from finding out whatever it is that we wish to know. Although, on the flip side, we may need to guard against being a little bit too overbearing. “In everything the middle course is best; all things in excess bring trouble.” Plautus

Intellectual Mercury in creative Leo is forming a 120-degree trine to Uranus in self-expressive Aries (9:27 am EDT). Uranus is considered the higher octave of Mercury and is linked with our more brilliant or genius impulses and also our intuition. Mercury-Uranus tends to quicken our mental activity, in addition to helping to showcase our original perceptions. It can also suddenly ignite our intuition, or the voice of our spirit. Accordingly, today may be an excellent day for brainstorming, trying new approaches to old problems, making discoveries, and for tuning into that “still, small voice within” for wisdom and guidance.
Meanwhile, the monthly Moon-Saturn conjunction in balancing Libra (11:22 am EDT) may also find us focusing on what we perceive to be our duties or obligations. Usually at the heart of this aspect we find lessons in responsibility or accountability. “The right thing to do and the hard thing to do are usually the same.” Steve Maraboli
Famous July 25 Birthdays:Matt LeBlanc, Louise Brown (the world’s first test-tube baby). “I used to think about how I was conceived quite a lot when I was 10 or 11, but I don’t think about it at all now that so many other babies have been born in the same way.” Louise Brown
How do you view intuition? How do you know when to listen to it? What has been your experience with it?

Mars, the planet of motivation, aligns with optimistic, expansive Jupiter and transformational Pluto today. For many of us, this may translate into an urge for an “extreme makeover” in some aspect of our lives. The desire for self-renewal is likely very keen now and may equate with our wanting to take some sort of bold, assertive action to bring it about. In some cases, too, this turnaround may come about for us without any seeming effort on our part, although if we go below the surface of things we may see that we have indeed been instrumental in bringing it about.
Simultaneously, we may also need to be more mindful and respectful of honoring other people’s boundaries now in our quest to get ahead. Otherwise, some fallout could ensue if we cross over the lines uninvited. Sometimes, on the shadow side, Mars-Pluto coincides with a clash of wills and power struggles, especially if we perceive we are being threatened or feel like we are being ignored. “I teach people how to treat me by what I will allow.”Stephen Covey
Famous July 17 Birthdays:Camilla, The Duchess of Cornwall, Phyllis Diller. “Most children threaten at times to run away from home. This is the only thing that keeps some parents going.” Phyllis Diller 🙂
In the News: Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke reportedly painted a more dismal picture of the U.S. economy to lawmakers today, alluding to a slowdown in economic activity and a continuing high unemployment rate (wsj.com)
Interestingly, Pluto rules not only debt, taxes, and other people’s monies, but also contractions and implosions. With Mars exactly squaring Pluto today, sometimes with this aspect our perception of what is “not working” or “broken” in our lives can become a major point of focus. Too, we often become much more cognizant of the need to take corrective measures to transform or overhaul things (the “rebirth” side of Pluto) under this influence. Also, Mars-Pluto, metaphorically, is often likened to a surgical procedure in that we remove what is diseased or toxic.
Since we also have Mars trining “big picture” Jupiter today, a very upbeat, visionary influence, we are reminded to keep an eye on our long-term vision now. Mars-Jupiter can be a phenomenal aspect for motivating us in a very self-confident manner, even if things around us may temporarily seem a little bleak or dissonant. “The reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.” J.M. Barrie

With the “illuminating” Sun squaring “guarded” Saturn today (12:14 am EDT) we may feel more of a desire us to protect our own interests now, as Saturn symbolically represents our need for security. This may also translate into setting boundaries around areas that are dear to us. Too, sometimes setting appropriate boundaries can be an important form of self-care. Or put another way, a boundary can be viewed as a safe harbor container for our energy. Boundaries help us to conserve our resources so we are not all over the place. They also help us to construct and communicate our individual identities.
Additionally, the Moon in communication Gemini serves us well here as it can help us to articulate our feelings in an effective manner so people know where we stand on things. When we are unable to communicate our needs or desires is when we often run the risk of having our boundaries compromised or misunderstood. “Do not say a little in many words but a great deal in a few.” Pythagoras
Famous July 15 Birthdays:Jesse Venture, Linda Ronstadt. “The thing that you have to be prepared for is that other people don’t always dream your dream.” Linda Ronstadt
Entertainment News Update: I happened to see on Twitter this morning that the Bruce Springsteen-Paul McCartney concert at London’s Hyde Park was silenced last night after the two reportedly defied a 10:30 pm curfew. Of course, as an astrologer, I immediately got to thinking about the nature of the more restrictive (sometimes punitive) Sun square Saturn aspect in operation now. Karma Lord Saturn has often been likened to a paternal authority figure. Saturn typically has no problem taking us to task when we do not play by the rules, as this planet can be a stickler for conformity. Ironically, Saturn is also associated with hearing issues and deafness and these two iconic entertainers had their performances silenced. Too, communicator Mercury just went retrograde yesterday in entertainment Leo. 🙂
What is it that you feel you must you defend at all costs? What gives you a sense of security? How might others know you by your boundaries?

“You can have brilliant ideas, but if you can’t get them across, your ideas won’t get you anywhere.”Lee Iacocca
We may want to be more mindful of our communications, as well as our travel plans, the next three weeks, with Mercury stationing retrograde today at 12 degrees of leadership Leo (10:16 pm EDT). As many of us know, Mercury retrograde has been linked with communication and travel snafus. Too, we have just had Uranus, the higher octave of Mercury, also go retrograde on the 13th. On the eve of that planet’s retrograde, there reportedly was also an extreme solar flare eruption. A solar storm from that eruption could be heading to earth this weekend potentially posing danger to technology on Earth, as well as any spacecraft. Uranus governs technology and is also connected with space travel.
Retrograde Mercury periods are generally times when we revisit our recent decisions and thinking. Too, decisions that are made concerning new matters, during a retrograde period, are sometimes later revised, postponed or delayed, so we need to be sure that we keep a flexible mindset and not get bent out of shape should these things occur later. Some astrologers also suggest postponing signing important contracts during a retrograde Mercury cycle until Mercury goes direct. Mercury will be stationing direct again on August 7. “Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.”Tony Robbins
Famous July 14 Birthdays:Bob Crane, Harrison Ford. “I rarely play a real person because I don’t think I’m a good imitator.” Harrison Ford

How often have we heard, “It’s not what happens to you that’s important, it’s how you respond to what happens that’s important?” That sentiment is probably something that we may want to keep in mind today as we have “awakening” Uranus, the planet associated with liberation, change, and the unexpected, stationing retrograde at 8 degrees of Aries (5:49 am EDT). Uranus will be retrograde until December 12.
When a planet stations, it tends to call more attention to itself for a few days. Of course, with the nature of Uranus being more of a wild card, traditional wisdom would suggest that we might want to do our best to remain in more of a flexible mental state instead of trying to block or resist whatever might be taking shape around us now. Remember, too, what Carl Jung said: “What you resist, persists!” Also, by adopting a mindset that precludes that what may be manifesting is for our highest good and in alignment with our soul’s purpose or destiny, can be a very positive way to fully embrace and dance with this more “unknown commodity” type of energy.
Retrograde periods are also a time when we pause and do a review of a planet’s energy to see how we have been utilizing it in our lives. Uranus stationing retrograde may find us seriously reflecting upon the more meaningful changes that have occurred in our lives recently, especially since Uranus first entered pioneering Aries, and evaluating the impact of those changes on our consciousness to date. Part of the purpose of Uranus in astrology is to metaphorically stretch us. It helps us to break free from the molds that we have been in. Its activated ray is often key in helping us to shift our perspectives. It can be a very freeing influence for us and also a very essential influence for our survival as the intrinsic nature of life is change.
This particular retrograde period of Uranus is perhaps even more pivotal because of its near exact square alignment with regenerating Pluto, the mighty god of makeovers. Uranus-Pluto suggests that transformation (Pluto) can be very freeing (Uranus), even though initially we may be visited with some degree of upheaval with it, as a natural part of the rebirthing process. As many of us into astrology know, the decade of the sixties contained Uranus conjunct Pluto, a time that saw massive cultural change and a seismic shift in values in America and elsewhere.
Rock music also exploded on the scene in the sixties, led by the British invasion of the Beatles, Stones, and other groups into the U.S. The music became a major vehicle itself for helping to shift the collective consciousness. Ironically, on the eve of Uranus stationing retrograde now, in its first tight square to Pluto since its conjunction with it back in the sixties, the Rolling Stones celebrated and publicly reflected upon their 50 years together as a band and what it was like for them in the early days, including their experience of the culture at the time.
It was on July 12, 1962 that the Rolling Stones first appeared together at London’s Marquee Club. On that date, Venus was also conjunct Uranus in entertainment Leo. When Venus and Uranus align, there can be an electrifying chemistry (Uranus) occurring in relationships (Venus). Venus also symbolically depicts artists and musicians and combined with innovative and revolutionizing Uranus, there can be a birthing of great creativity and genius in these areas. What is also very cool is that Paul McCartney and John Lennon both met each other for the very first time with this same Venus-Uranus aspect in Leo. How’s that for synchronicity?
Expansive Jupiter was trining Neptune and form-builder Saturn was also squaring Neptune when the Stones debuted. Neptune is the ruler of our imagination and also the higher octave of Venus. Neptune is also associated with music, transcendental meditation, psychedelic drugs, and the urge for escape.
We will also want to note the house in our personal horoscopes where Uranus is stationing retrograde as that is the area of life that is especially open for review now, especially from a consciousness standpoint. Some of the questions we may want to ask ourselves: “How am I breaking out of my mold in this realm of life?” “How has my perspective shifted, so far, on the matters connected with this house?” “What opportunities do I have to be original here, or to display my individuality?” “My self-sufficiency?” “What might I be rebelling against in this area of my life?” “What events have happened in this life sector that I was not expecting and what has changed for me since these things have occurred?

With the Moon in deliberate Taurus and trine to transforming Pluto in Capricorn (11:34 am EDT) proceeding at a slower, leisurely pace seems to be the optimum path to our self-renewal now. Moon-Pluto is potentially very healing energy. It is also conducive to helping us probe deeper into the nature of things. In fact, we are often able to unearth, or find out about, what has previously been hidden with this aspect. This influence can be especially good for locating objects that have been lost or misplaced.
Additionally, the Moon-Pluto alignment favors matters connected with the afterlife, including past life regression. Also, this is very positive energy for doing space clearings. “Of all ghosts, the ghosts of our old loves are the worst.“Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Usually with the Moon in “enterprising” Aries, we want to be starting something new. However, this is not really the case today with the Moon void of course (5:23 am EDT) and also in its waning phase. This is an excellent day, though, for attending to old projects, wrapping up existing business. Too, we often experience a sense of gaining energy when we put old matters to bed.
Later this evening, the Moon shifts into “grounding” Taurus (7:30 pm EDT), a time to focus on making aspects of our lives seemingly more stable and enduring. It is especially good for tending to matters of a more practical nature, including focusing on money and possession issues. “Making money isn’t hard in itself… What’s hard is to earn it doing something worth devoting one’s life to.” Carlos Ruiz Zafon

The adrenalin continues to cycle through us today with the Moon in “unstoppable” Aries the Ram which helps to provide momentum and perhaps a pioneering spirit for whatever it is that we want to achieve now. Additionally, we may want to observe the characteristic manner in which we tend to assert ourselves for extra insight about our nature. “Make definite assertions. Avoid tame, colorless, hesitating, non-committal language.” William Strunk Jr.
Numerologically, there is also a strong leadership vibe to the day with it being the 10th day of the month. “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” John Quincy Adams
