Astrological news this week: Leo season begins!

Astrological Updates for the week of July 18-25, 2022

Chiron turns retrograde, Chiron is unlike any other planetary body in the Solar System, having the volume and size of a planet with the tail of a comet. Circled between the individual planets, Saturn, and the outer transiting planets of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, it serves as a bridge between the personal and the reciprocal. By encouraging the healing of the soul’s wounds of this and previous incarnations, Chiron facilitates the growth and development of the soul as well as the personality.

When a planet becomes retrograde it appears to be stationary in the sky, and this can intensify the experience of anyone whose birth chart is being activated by that planet. Chiron has traveled only one degree in the past two months, and it will take another two months to retreat one degree. If the planets are between 12 to 18 degrees (Aries, Libra, Cancer or Capricorn) in your own birth chart, this can present emotional challenges as undigested feelings and drama begin to release. If you have planets in those degrees of fire (Leo, Aries, Sagittarius), this process of healing and liberation will be just as important, but since it is a harmonious triple aspect, release will come more easily.

This week both Sun and Mercury are entering Leo, Leo is the sign of the Sun – under its auspices we receive the warmth and vitality of its light and warmth, and we learn to identify fully with the spirit that has been given to us for this lifetime. Leo is the ruler of the Sun, and personifies the need to fully express ourselves according to the sign under which we are born. Under the influence of Leo our souls are warmed by the Sun and it becomes easier to allow joy in our lives if we are people who are doubtful or damaged in some way.

Every astrological factor has a dark side as well as a light side, and the dark side of Leo can be narcissism with a touch of pride and arrogance. Often these negative traits obscure a wounded personality that craves the authentic expression of Leo’s joy and happiness. Both the Sun and Mercury are entering Leo this week, these energies affecting our lives for a while, even though

Leo is present in our own birth chart. With both the Sun and Mercury, Ceres, the planet of nourishment, we would like to be especially mindful of the body’s needs for nourishment, movement, and equipment to calm the mind.

Pluto is highlighted, The transiting planet Pluto is triggered by Mercury on Monday, July 18, shortly followed by the Sun and Ceres (see below). Pluto’s power may be somewhat relentless in its campaign to destroy the liars and empower the truth, and we can expect some harsh words for the first few days of the week, especially when the moon is on Monday at 7:17. Enters fiery Aries at EDT.

The Sun opposes Pluto on Tuesday, July 19, continuing the need to uncover whatever isn’t working so it can be transformed. The Aries Moon also connects with Chiron on that day, so it can be a bit challenging emotionally.

Then on Wednesday morning the Aries Moon moves this Sun/Pluto dynamic for one final exciting fiery drama. This combination can be very exciting! It can help us find inspiration where there was none before. But if the relationship is out of balance, it will become quite apparent under this dynamic.

the rest of the week:

By Wednesday afternoon EDT (July 20), energies will begin to settle. Moon enters Taurus where we seek peace and comfort.

The Moon enters Gemini early on Friday, July 23 EDT to encourage communication of all kinds, and a harmonious trine from Mercury to Jupiter helps to calm the mind and encourage positivity. By then the Sun will be in Leo and Ceres will also enter Leo on that day. The remaining part of the week is extremely rewarding with opportunities to find emotional and mental balance. My only caveat is that on weekends we’ll need to watch an overzealous social calendar which could throw that balance off (Venus square Jupiter, lunar square Neptune).

The Moon will enter Cancer on Sunday afternoon EDT and will bring our attention back to our emotions and the mood of our inner world for a few days.

A heads up for next Monday: A challenging square from Mercury to Pluto in Leo can bring some difficulty in communication and potentially some arguments. forewarned is forearmed!

I hope you have a great week! ️G reading and writing by Lynn Hayes.

Scorpio daily horoscope – 31 May 2022

The energy around you is in tune with a lot of emotions and it’s all for the power of tomorrow’s new moon, and it will continue to act on you and affect your emotions and your heartbeat in the weeks to come. You have a remarkable ability, in the best of times, to pluck the depths of your and other people’s feelings. But still more because of the intensity of what is happening internally and externally. If your emotions are telling you that you feel that way, there’s no such thing as too intense for you today, but you can still keep a lid on it if you have to. What superpower is your moon revealing? Do you know that with the appearance of the moon we can make our dreams come true? I know because I’ve been doing it for 20+ years and the proof is now irrefutable.

Mercury has entered its shadow zone on the 25th of Virgo – to look back and complete our transformation into Libra and Virgo

The shadow region is defined by the period where a planet turns retrograde, and where it goes directly after the retrograde period. In this case, Mercury turns retrograde on 9th September into Libra. It will retrograde back to the 25th of Virgo, where it stabilizes directly on 2nd October, the birthdays of Mahatma Gandhi and Groucho Marx. It casts a shadow zone between 25 Virgo and 9 Libra, and on August 21 Mercury enters 25 Virgo, the degree where it will go SD in early October. I will be writing some articles about the upcoming retrograde which will be posted as we get closer. So now we begin an 8-week round of three phases on the first 9 degrees of Libra and the last 6 degrees of Virgo. We will have old Virgo and Libra returns related to people and events that affected our lives in the past. It would be “looking back” in memory of past work and partners, past service and the people we once looked up to as equals. It brings up memories of former Virgo and Libra experiences so that...
