“Mercury is retrograde most of this month” and forming T-squares with Uranus, Mars, and Pluto. These alignments are creating urges for change and revolution, which may cause many of us to struggle between feelings of wanting to leave some situation behind and wanting to breathe new life into stale relationships or circumstances. So it’s important that we not “throw the baby out with the bathwater” because we’re hungry for something “that only we can provide for ourselves”. As Mercury retrogrades through Cancer, we need to take time to figure out who and what feels right for us, “work that feels like play and places that inspire us”. We need to find the things that feed our souls, which might be spending time in nature, traveling, creating music, art or writing, or spiritual studies; and immersing ourselves in what we discover meets our deepest needs. “Throughout July there is a conflict between the inner and the outer. There is a grand trine in the water signs, but also constant squares featuring Uranus and Pluto, which give rise to discontent, dramatic outbursts, and the desire to upset the apple cart”. If we tune into our “inner world via creative and artistic activities and our soul nourishers, we will be in a good position to ride out the choppy waves of Uranus and Pluto, bringing in constructive, refreshing change as opposed to impulsive and potentially destructive changes”. Patience is a most valuable virtue in dealing with our frustrations. “For some people, new beginnings and fresh adventures will be inevitable as the planets align to bring certain situations to a head”. Mercury will be in retrograde status from July 3rd to the 21st. From the 21st through the end of the month, the advice is “look before you leap”. “July ends with a very rare and special alignment called a six-pointed star (Star of David: when six or more planets align in a harmonious set of triangles)”. At July’s end there will be nine planets involved: “Jupiter, Mars, and Mercury in Cancer: Venus in Virgo; Saturn in Scorpio; Pluto in Capricorn; Neptune in Pisces; and the Moon in Taurus”. These signs are all “feminine signs”, and “there is a gentle, flowing feel to these energies, which speaks of Mother Earth and the Goddess”. Around July 29th something significant may occur “involving Earth or issues connected with women”. This is a good time for all of us to meditate and be involved in soulful and creative activities. “Men can work with this energy by allowing their gentle, female sides to have expression, perhaps through art, poetry, nature or music”. Although we may receive a “downloading of the Divine Feminine, taking us another step closer to living in greater harmony with Earth as we move away from the old male ways of competition and financial domination”; it is “challenged somewhat by the T-square between Pluto, Uranus, Mars, and Jupiter, which are very masculine energies. Perhaps there will be a conflict on the world stage between the feminine and masculine principles.” “For example, I recently received an email titled “Monsanto versus Mother Earth. (For those who don’t know, Monsanto is the American company currently seeking to enforce the growing of genetically modified food crops, which will change the way our food is grown forever).” “This is a classic scenario featuring the traditional male drive for power and dominance over the feminine and is perhaps a last-ditch attempt to stamp out the growing emergence of the feminine principle.” Remember, patience wins the race; so discover what feeds your soul, and immerse yourself in that, and REFRESH!
