Sun/Moon Leo
With the Sun and Moon conjunct in Leo, we begin a new cycle of aligning our inner world with outward expression. In the sign of Leo, the focus of energy is on ourselves. It includes where we find our inner child, joy, and purpose in life. It is where we validate ourselves for ourselves.
New Moon trine NN
In a first-quarter trine, we integrate the original intent into our everyday lives. The original intent between the Moon and the NN was to begin a new cycle of aligning our inner worlds with our future selves in a new explorative direction of self-discovery.
At the trine, we align with those things that give us happiness. We are learning to find a sense of security in our joy.
New Moon sextile Jupiter/Mars conjunction
Mars and Jupiter are in a balsamic phase conjunction. This conjunction is about how we have acted through old perceptions. The acting through these perceptions and the beliefs about the perceptions are ending.
The culminating beliefs now support the New Moon. In the past, our beliefs about life may not have included aligning with our joy or intended purpose. It is the beginning of internalizing our joy to where we find value in it.
New Moon sextile SN
The new beginning of aligning our inner worlds with our true purpose and the joy we experience when expressing it to the outer world is in a last sextile with the SN.
The SN in Libra refers to our past security of aligning with others.
With the last sextile, we now understand that the transition between our past selves and our newly aligned purpose and joy can play a role in society.
Mercury ingress into Virgo
Mercury's ingress into Virgo happened on July 26th, just after the New Moon in Capricorn. Mercury in Virgo refers to the sorting and ordering of new information. The new information Mercury picked up concerned our true purpose and joy.
Mercury in Virgo is the discernment process where we determine what thoughts and ideas are for us and which are not. It is the refining process of incorporating our purpose and joy into our world.
Mercury conjunct Venus
Venus is at the last degree of Leo, where we have nearly completed aligning our values and needs with our purpose, joy, and creative self-expression.
Mercury and Venus Made their last conjunction in the sign of Leo, where our thoughts and perceptions of life aligned with personal values regarding our purpose and joy.
The new phase conjunction between Mercury in Virgo and Venus in Leo refers to new perceptions of sorting and ordering, including self-value and attunement to what gives us joy. It also refers to the thought processes that lead to a step-by-step map of how to achieve it.
Mercury square Mars
Mercury squaring Mars is a first-quarter square, a "crisis-in-action" square in which the original intent has evolved to the point where we want to implement it. We must make different choices that align with the original conjunction.
The original intent happened back in January. Mars and Mercury were conjunct in the sign of Capricorn. We intended to align our thoughts with our actions concerning our emotional container, how to master personal authority, and how to set appropriate boundaries.
Where we had aligned with authority outside ourselves in the past, this new direction in achieving personal authority has led us to the point where we must make different action choices to achieve our goals.
Mars in Gemini is aligning our actions with many perspectives. Having already aligned with what gives us joy, Mercury is narrowing down the choices Mars offers and aligning with thoughts of self-improvement.
Mercury square Uranus
This first-quarter square represents thought processes aligning with self-improvement and breaking free from old patterns concerning values and survival. It requires making different choices to self-adjust to our values, including valuing our pursuit of happiness.
Venus square Uranus
Venus, at the last degree of Leo, represents the final push to align our values with our purpose, joy, and creative expression.
Uranus in Taurus, the breaking apart from values that no longer serve us, creates an abrupt change in the pattern. The square with Venus is a first-quarter square. The original intent of the conjunction between the two was in May when we were breaking free from old, worn-out values that no longer serve our evolution.
The first quarter square requires us to make different choices to shift our values from old patterns, such as wealth, to new values, including our happiness and true purpose.
Finger of God aspect: Venus inconjunct Neptune and Pluto
Venus is the stress point in this aspect. In the sign of Leo, we are learning to attune to ourselves, our hearts, our inner child, and our true purpose. The conjunction with Mercury adds the energy of aligning our thoughts with sorting through the expanded information, selecting what is for us and what is not to adjust and perfect ourselves. This translates to a self-refinement process that includes attunement to our divine purpose.
Neptune in Pisces shows that the dissolving nature of our reality no longer holds meaning for us. The retrograde accelerates this process, and we learn that meaning in life comes from within. The murky nature of Neptune in Pisces is unclear and unfamiliar.
Finding the meaning of life and aligning our values with our hearts, inner child, and divine purpose can cause a crisis with the outer world, primarily because of the uncertainty. The situation requires an inner adjustment to fit our heart-attuned selves into society.
The other inconjunct is between Pluto (r) in Aquarius. It is the undercurrent of change. Pluto desires that we break free from our conditioning patterns and find our individuality. We do this by aligning with our hearts to find our true purpose.
Accelerating the breaking-free process can lead to feeling disjointed or isolated. The inconjunct is a blind spot between these feelings and attuning to our happiness. This full phase inconjunct is the point at which we want to implement the attunement of our true purpose into the social realm. Inner adjustments are needed to break free from our past conditioning.
There is supportive energy between the dissolution of worn-out structures and accelerating the breaking free from conditioning, leaving a place where boundaries are loose. In this space, we can attune to our inner child to find the joy and excitement of life.
Mars conjunct Jupiter
Mars in Gemini drives us to gather new information to provide a new perspective. Jupiter in Gemini is expanding our consciousness. The closing phase conjunction suggests that we are completing the activity of gathering new perspectives, which will end in a broader awareness.
Mars square Saturn
The drive to gather new information is in a "crisis in action" square with the acceleration of dissolving our reality. Old information is no longer valid due to its dissolving nature. We must outline for ourselves what the future reality will look like.
We must make different choices relevant to expanding our consciousness and what new information to act upon.
Mars sextile NN
There is pressure to internalize and align one's mental faculties to new values by expanding consciousness and defining one's reality. It supports the original alignment with the NN, which intends us to emotionally evolve into ourselves in a way that allows the freedom to instinctually follow our own unique purpose through trial and error of different experiences.
Mars semisquare Chiron
In this alignment, the soul begins to limit experiences. It is a narrowing down of experiences to a specific focus. Between Mars and Chiron, we are talking about the expansion of perceptions and the ability to act on them. Chiron asks that we heal the old wounds by acting instinctually to discover who we are. What is narrowing is the stream of new information to a specific focus. One that aligns us with a new value system and shows us how to perfect ourselves.
Mars trine SN
At the same time that Mars is making a supportive sextile to the NN, it is also making a disseminating trine with the SN. The disseminating trine refers to a socialization phase where we have reached a point of giving back to the social sphere.
The completion of acting in a particular way culminates in our expanded beliefs and new perspectives that have come into our awareness. We put these into the social sphere as we complete our journey with the SN in Libra, which says we must align with others.
Mars trine Pluto
The trine between Mars and Pluto is a first-quarter trine. The original conjunction between the two planets happened in February at zero degrees Aquarius. The intention was to begin a new cycle of acting to break free from past conditioning to individuate and to act more in alignment with our true selves.
At the first-quarter trine, we use everything we have learned about breaking free daily.
Jupiter square Saturn
Jupiter in Gemini expands our consciousness by exposing us to more perspectives. Saturn (r) in Pisces is an acceleration of defining the reality for ourselves.
The first-quarter square is a turning point, a "crisis in action," where we must make different choices concerning what is true and what is not. Expanding our awareness increases the possibilities.
Jupiter sesqiusquadrate Pluto
Jupiter offers us an expanded perspective. It is our intuition, that part of our mind that knows there is more to life than what we see. In Gemini, Jupiter expands our perceptions and gives us access to more possibilities.
Pluto (r) in Aquarius, the undercurrent, allows us to merge with our uniqueness with the intention of each of us finding our purpose and joy.
The sesquisquadrate is the point in development where we are getting ready to integrate our new ideas into society. We can't do it on our own terms; we must fit it into society's terms. This attitude can be problematic because we don't want to bend or adjust. We can expect environmental feedback that leads to self-analysis and inner adjustment.
Jupiter trine NN
Jupiter in Gemini represents the expansion of our awareness, opening up the diversity of existing perspectives. The NN is in Aries, signifying that our future inner security and the direction of emotional growth is toward aligning with our instinctual selves. It is to explore who we are by engaging in various experiences to show us who we are.
The trine is a first-quarter trine. We are learning to put into daily life all that we have learned concerning the original intention: to break free from all cosmologies and beliefs that have kept us limited.
Saturn square Mars Jupiter conjunction
As stated earlier, the Jupiter-Mars conjunction, which is a closing-phase conjunction, is about completing the activity of gathering new perspectives, which will result in broader awareness.
Saturn (r) in Pisces refers to the accelerated dissolving of external structures. As the external authority recedes, we develop an internal structure and authority. We do this by setting personal boundaries and ensuring we meet our needs. When a planet is retrograde, we review the past and retrieve the necessary boundaries to establish for our future.
The square to the Mars-Jupiter conjunction is a first-quarter square. Here, we must learn to make different choices concerning expanding and acting on our beliefs. It requires a change of course.
The original conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn happened in Capricorn in December 2020. Our beliefs in our societal structure began a new cycle. Now, at the first-quarter square, with the help of Mars, we have the energy to make those changes.
Uranus sextile Neptune
Uranus in Taurus is about breaking free from our values, survival techniques, and how we relate to ourselves and others. It is in a supportive alignment with Neptune in Pisces.
Neptune in Pisces is about ending a cycle. When a cycle ends, its structure dissolves, much like a leaf that falls from a tree. It dissolves until it becomes dirt. This dissolving creates a disorganized structure, which we can experience as a lack of meaning, confusion, emotional flooding, or dissociation.
The dissolution of the previous structure supports the breaking free from prior value systems in that they were values of the dissolving structure. As the structure disintegrates, we lose meaning, and it becomes easier to break free from the values it holds.
Uranus square Venus Mercury conjunct
At the final degree of Leo, Venus represents the final push to align our values with our purpose, joy, and creative expression. The new phase conjunction with Mercury in Virgo refers to our minds aligning with new perceptions of self-improvement, including self-value and attunement to what excites us.
Uranus refers to the breaking free from out-of-date value systems. The first quarter square between the two represents the urge to put the original intent to separate from old values into action. It is a "crisis in action" square, where we must make different choices to place this new intent into reality.
Uranus trine Pluto
The original conjunction between these two planets happened in 1966 in the Sign of Virgo. The evolutionary intention for the collective was to break free from guilt and feelings of not being good enough.
At the first-quarter square, we are now breaking free from the old values into our daily lives. We are learning to understand that we are good enough and that the guilt residue from not being able to live up to the previous values of the dying paradigm no longer exists.
Pluto square Chiron
Chiron refers to the collective wound we all carry concerning breaking free from societal conditioning. The first-quarter square requires aligning with our internal drive to discover ourselves outside the conditioning. We must make new choices regarding our purpose. The clue is in finding what gives us excitement and joy. We do this by internalizing a change in perspective.
What does it all mean?
It means that in this continuing saga of evolution and emotional growth, we are reaching a turning point. We have looked at our values and are magnetically drawn to our innate purpose, even if we don't know what that is yet. We are discovering what excites us and stirs the inner child. We adjust our thoughts and perspectives as they expand with new awareness.
The undercurrent is driving us to break free from the conditioning that has us looking to the outer world for direction. The outer world is dissolving before our very eyes. We no longer align with its values and are in the process of breaking free from them. The new values that we attune to include whatever gives us joy.
This New Moon represents an initiation into aligning our inner world with a sense of purpose that gives us joy and satisfaction. We must learn to shine this into the outer world. It requires a shift in our mindset, beliefs, and values, which will take some adjustment.
