Extracting from Chaos

Overview

This week the Moon transits from critical Virgo, through tipsy Libra, and intense Scorpio. Major configurations such as the Mystic Rectangle, the T-square, and Yod help to generate outcomes which are for the most part, positive in nature (G-d willing). Pluto retro sextile aspect to Neptune retro is an underlying feature, a given for the current era, as a world drawn together in hope and tragedy, we seek to reform the powers that control our every breath (in this era we need cleaner air). Mars and Saturn reach a partile conjunction aspect on Monday, the Moon arrives in the opposition aspect to complete a task, a reset the equation, a political and humanitarian goal accomplished.

Looking ahead

Summary of major and minor aspects of the week

Wednesday July 10^th — The Moon in Virgo makes aspects to Jupiter in Gemini, Ceres retro in Capricorn and a minor semi-sextile aspect to Mercury in Leo. The Moon square aspect to Jupiter presents challenges that should be overcome in order to achieve success today. Mercury semi-sextile aspect to the Moon represents communication that you will need to assess carefully. Is it a in line with values and goals? A trine aspect to Ceres represents an easier choice to make when confronted with opposition. To relieve the suffering of indigent groups is an easy choice on the surface. To help a political ally or friend in need may also be requested, with Ceres in Capricorn representing the underdog.

Thursday July 11^th — The Moon in Virgo makes a sextile aspect to the Sun in Cancer and simultaneously an opposition aspect to Saturn retro in Pisces pre-dawn EDT, late on Wednesday PDT, although morning hours in UK, EU, and ME [see chart insert]. The Sun is trine aspect to Saturn so implementing goals meets little resistance. The opposition factions come out strong in political protests. Venus in Cancer makes a trine aspect to Neptune retro in Pisces, and an approaching opposition out-of-sign aspect to Pluto retro in Aquarius. Concerted efforts to mobilize support groups and to influence the elimination of destructive forces using the appeal for empathy for the victims cannot meet the needs of the administrative powers due to competing interests. The Moon approaches trine aspects to Mars and Uranus in Taurus, as Mars approaches the conjunction aspect to Uranus indicating that explosive issues remain, and the urgency to resolve impasses grows. The Moon makes an opposition aspect to Neptune and ingress to Libra 22:07 EDT; 02:07 UTC; 05:07 on Friday EEDT. Balance can be achieved only with the removal of stagnation. A Mystic Rectangle configuration forms late today, for PDT by 20:00, agreements could be reached as contentious positions are modified.

Friday July 12^th — A Mystic Rectangle configuration manifests in the early morning UK, EU, and ME time zones. The Moon in Libra makes a trine aspect to Pluto retro in Aquarius, as Venus in Leo reaches the partile opposition aspect to Pluto early today, followed by a doubly approaching out-of-sign trine aspect to Neptune retro in Pisces. The Moon is disposed of by Venus in Cancer [see chart insert]. The Moon makes a sextile aspect to Venus as Venus ingress to Leo in a partile opposition aspect to Pluto. Pluto is sextile aspect to Neptune.  Compromises are setting up new possibilities for renewal of energy toward achieving goals.  The Moon transits to the conjunction aspect with Ketu and trine aspect to Jupiter in Gemini. Jupiter in Gemini allows for expansive flexibility. The Moon in Libra tries to balance the option, while conjunction aspect to Ketu may leave little choice. Care should be taken not to be deceived, yet a chance to reform is offered. The Moon square aspect to Ceres retro in Capricorn follows, as release of hostages suffering in captivity is an urgent demand, some releases could be achieved now.

Saturday July 13^th — Mars approaching conjunction aspect to Uranus in Taurus increases tensions as a major conflict seems inevitable. The Moon in Libra is sextile aspect to Mercury in Leo and then makes a quincunx aspect to Saturn retro in Pisces, with Mercury also quincunx aspect to Saturn for a Yod formation. Karmic relationships are a focus with limitations and a long-term view. The Moon makes an opposition aspect to Chiron in Aries, as rationalizations deflect critical comments, and square aspect to the Sun in Cancer, for the quarter Moon phase crisis 22:50 UTC; 18:50 EDT; 01:50 on Sunday EEDT. The Moon makes quincunx aspects to Mars and Uranus, late in the day in US time zones, morning hours on Sunday UK, EU, and ME time zones, as open conflicts threaten to erupt.

Sunday July 14^th — In the final degree of Libra, the Moon is quincunx aspect to Neptune retro in Pisces and will ingress to Scorpio at 14:54 UTC; 10:54 EDT; 17:54 EEDT. The Moon’s square aspect To Pluto retro in Aquarius and square aspect to Venus in Leo strengthens the opposition aspect and makes a T–square configuration. The Sun In Cancer makes a square aspect to Chiron in Aries as a plan is rejected for security reasons. Mercury in Leo is quincunx aspect to Saturn retro in Pisces, dashing hopes for reunion. Transiting Mercury is conjunction aspect to the Moon in Israel’s natal chart, while Mars and Uranus are separating from the conjunction aspect with Israel’s natal Sun in Taurus. Transiting Jupiter in Gemini is conjunction aspect to Israel’s natal Ceres and Mercury. The issue of the hostages held by Hamas is a major concern for Israel. Negotiations through mediators could be successful in getting a phased release of hostages in the near future.

Monday July 15^th — The Moon in Scorpio is sextile aspect to Ceres retro in Capricorn, while both Ceres and the Moon are quincunx  aspect to Jupiter in Gemini for a Yod formation. Mars reaches the partile conjunction aspect to Uranus in Taurus. Mercury in Leo transcends the partile quincunx aspect to Saturn retro in Pisces. Words are carefully parsed. The Moon is disposed of by Pluto, Pluto is disposed of by Uranus, Uranus is disposed of by Venus, Venus is disposed of by the Sun disposed of by the Moon. In this critical week, all participants must consider their impact on the whole, and work to reduce the potential for explosive issues to sabotage peace negotiations.

Tuesday July 16^th — The Moon in Scorpio makes a square aspect to Mercury in Leo, as though responding to threats and quincunx aspect to Chiron in Aries, then a trine aspect to the Sun in Cancer as plans are implemented to extract souls from danger as the Moon is in opposition aspect to Uranus and Mars, Mars superseding the conjunction aspect in Taurus. US President Biden’s natal Sun is in opposition aspect to transiting Mars/Uranus [see chart insert]. With danger all around them, extraditing the victims to safety could be perilous. The Moon is trine aspect to Neptune retro in Pisces, ingress to Sagittarius 21:26 EDT; 01:26 UTC on Wednesday; 04:26 EEDT on Wednesday, then sextile aspect to Pluto in Aquarius, as lives will be undergoing transformation.
