Astrology for the Week of July 2, 2012

The theme for the week is celebration.  Not only do we have the 4^th of July and a Full Moon this week, we made it through the first peaking of the Uranus-Pluto square.  This is definitely a reason for gratitude and excitement.  Remember no matter how crazy or challenging things appear to be, it is only happening so that you can find the ways you are giving your power away.

The week starts off with a Full Moon in Capricorn on July 3, 2012 at 11:52 am PDT.  This casts a serious note on emotions and brings up questions pertaining to career, reputation, and accomplishments.  Are you being too cautious or are you being practical?  The Full Moon is aspecting the challenging Pluto-Uranus square and will bring to the surface any area that is not working for you.  The Sabian symbol for this Full Moon is “A fire worshiper meditates on the ultimate realities of existence.”  Therefore, the best way to approach this Full Moon is with the realization that everything is an illusion and the result of what you believe to be true. Some Law of Attraction aficionados would say that this means that you wanted what you are experiencing to happen.  Sure, like you wanted to experience divorce, death, foreclosure, unemployment, etc.  That is not why it happened. It occurred because you believed that it was the only possibility. Today, expand beyond what you were taught to believe.  But wait, there’s more…Mars is moving into Libra today which will help the energy become balanced and will help show the things that are working or not working for you.  Therefore, think of this Full Moon as emphasizing the imbalance in your life and the movement toward new possibilities.  Enough for today?  Well, there’s more….today, a Yod between Pluto, Chiron and Mercury begins, peaks late on the 4^th (in time for fireworks) and ends on the 6^th.  Yods are interesting aspects, which many astrologers describe as the “Finger of God” aka extended middle figure gesture.  As most people operate in the negative or life sucks mode, the Yod will be as if the God was giving us the finger.  However, the reverse is true and it can be a wonderful experience of synchronicity, clarity, and knowing.  If you have been waiting for God to talk to you, the 4^th is the best day to sit and listen for answers.

On a physical note, (I am feeling the energy of the Full Moon), our bodies have systems that were crucial when we were cave dwellers but not now.  We have all heard of the outmoded “fight or flight response” that put most people into the stress response on a continuous basis.  Well another aspect of this is what I call the genetic negative response.  Our medullas are wired to view the world negatively because when we lived in caves, we had to to constantly scan our world looking for what was wrong.  Was the saber tooth tiger behind that rock or was there other danger behind the bush?  Both systems that work together are no longer needed in our world.  Therefore, we can choose to let go of this and start a “mutation” that looks at the world in a positive mode.  As our DNA is changing now, let’s consciously change the other systems so that they work for us and not against us.  We can change what is true for us.

Wednesday, July 4, is a wonderful day for creative and intuitive inspiration.  Venus is sextile Mercury and Uranus, which will focus the Yod that peaks today on areas of money and love.

Friday, July 6, another T-square begins.  This one is slower moving and peaks on the 18^th.  This energy involves Mars, Uranus, and Pluto.  Think of the square that peaked on June 24.  This will bring energy to help break down old forms and allow new ones to come up.  Therefore, if you have been feeling stuck and finding making forward motion very frustrating, the energy will start moving now.  To help you with this energy, focus on what you want to have happen and not how it will happen.

Saturday, July 7, Venus squares Chiron which brings welcomed healing in the areas of money and love.  The information that comes to me is “let go of what you think should happen as that has been what been stopping you.”  Now, wait, I can hear you say, “you just said to focus on what you want to have happen.”  What you focus on -  is what it will feel like and what the experience will bring you – not the exact form or method of delivery. It reminds me of an Abraham session where a woman was so distraught because she was in her late 40’s and could not conceive.  She was completely focused on raising her vibration so she could manifest it.  She refused to consider any other options such as adoption, etc., as that she was ego driven to do it according to her agenda.  Moreover, because she was so upset, she was setting up resistance stopping anything from manifesting.  Focus on the end result “I am holding my baby and I am so happy” and let the universe do the rest.  And babies, from a dream interpretation viewpoint, represent projects that need time to gestate and grow. What is your baby?

The card that I pulled for this week is a healing card from Louise Hay.  “I now deserve love, romance and joy and all the good that Life has to offer me.  I am surrounded by love.  All is well.”  Celebrate this week.
