Astrology for July 5, 2024

We have a slight reprieve from the emotional chaos that keeps pulling us in various directions. This New Moon is in Cancer and for a moment we feel a new beginning unfolding around us.

Sometimes I know we wonder if it is us or if it is the astrology. I believe that astrology (the planets, asteroids, moons, and stars) impact us in powerful and subtle ways. I feel as if the astrology presents challenges to us and then it is up to us to move positively or negatively with the energies that arise.

Those challenges are always about understanding ourself first and then how that true self can relate to the world. We seek to know who is deep inside our core. We long to get him or her out. We know we need to have a solid and stable base upon which to build our reality and we know we need to recognize how important those that love and care for us are in this tremendously challenging time.

We want to feel safe in a world that is taking off the training wheels and taking away our options. I think this is what growing up feels like. We have to decide for ourselves what will work and move from that place … regardless of the rules and laws that stupid, wealthy, dogmatic, powerful, and zealous people try to impose on the rest of us. It comes down to what does your soul want to create and how do we do that when there are those that will intentionally try to sabotage everything that matters to us?

The two “bad boys” of the zodiac, Saturn and Mars will sextile today. My comment is “don’t get your knickers in a knot!” Stay practical and be consistent with others. Slow is the pace with all these retrogrades (Neptune, Saturn, and Pluto) and know that moderation will allow us to maneuver in a well-thought way. As we move steadily forward, the key is going to be in seeing the facts and then making choices that can give us hope.

There is a long path ahead of us and we are going to need our energy. Remember to pace yourself and move from a rational and organized way. There is enough craziness in the world. There are many fires trying to burn, don’t put any of your wood on any of them.
