"The impact of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction is weighing heavily on the micro and macro levels. With feelings of disorientation, disillusionment, anxiety, & fear growing at the individual level, it is no wonder that global affairs and financial markets are also in disarray." ~RM

On July 26, the very thin waxing crescent moon will float low above the western horizon soon after sunset. It’ll lie close to the bright star Regulus. Then, on the following evening, July 27, it will hang between Regulus and Mars.

Over the next few days, a Venus-Mars square suggests a dynamic & passionate energy- that brings an intense drive in matters of love & relationships, as well as a strong desire for pleasure & excitement- which leads to powerful attractions but also potential conflicts if not managed with care.

#LeoSeason starts tomorrow, and it's a good time to remember that everybody is a star. The Sun is dignified in Leo, its own sign and domicile- which is a way of saying, in its best possible position to shine, and find fulfillment.

The waning crescent Moon in the dawn passes Venus, then Jupiter. Look before or during early dawn, while the sky is still dark, to spot the horntips of Taurus a well as the rest of Taurus off the frame to the upper right. Then wait a bit for rising Jupiter, & fainter orange Betelgeuse to its right.

This Mercury Rx occurs in Leo, the sign of kings. And will thus be esp. relevant to kings, and political leaders. Moreover, Mercury will be retrograde in Trump's natal 12th house- the house of secret enemies, & self-undoing. The annual transit of the Sun thru his 12th house is July 21 to Aug. 21.

July’s full #BuckMoon (at 19° Capricorn) will rise on Thursday, July 10, reaching peak illumination at 4:37 P.M. Eastern Time. It will be below the horizon at that time, so plan to look towards the southeast after sunset to watch it rise into the sky.

Mundane events in the United States are currently being informed by astrological Pluto (upheavals, and transformation) from March 20, 2025 until March 20, 2026. (Pluto was similarly prominent in the 2011 Aries ingress chart for Damascus that mirrored the start of the Syrian civil war in March 2011.)

At its best, astrological #Pluto can be a force for creative destruction, a term coined by the Joseph Schumpeter, who described creative destruction as a process mutation that incessantly revolutionizes the structure from within, incessantly destroying the old one, & incessantly creating a new one.

Litha is a Wiccan & modern pagan holiday that celebrates the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. The minor sabbat falls between the fire festivals of Beltane and Lughnasadh on the Wheel of the Year. It's observed between June 20-22 in the N.Hemisphere- as the Sun reaches its highest point.
