Personal Strength

The sun ☀️, which represents our vitality and life force energy, is entering the practical, detail and service oriented, earth sign, of Virgo ♍️, on August 22nd. Even if this isn’t your sun ☀️ sign, you could feel called to organize your home, or lend a hand to someone who needs assistance, or schedule health related appointments, but, if it is, Happy Birthday 🥳 to you. And don’t forget, on your Solar Return, the day the sun ☀️ returns to where it was at the time of your birth, to sprinkle your day, with a little bit of all the things you want to bring into your year ahead. It’s also a very aligned time to get a Solar Return reading. If you’d like to schedule one, please contact Anya’s Astrology.

It’s cosmic catch up time.
- On August 6th, Venus, the planet of love ❤️ and beauty, went into, where it's at home 🏡, in the relationship oriented, harmony and balance seeking, air sign, Libra ♎️, so it’s a favorable time to put more of your focus and attention in these areas of your life, and you may find more ease and flow there as well.
- On August 9th, Mercury, the planet of communication, moved into the theatrical, openly expressive, fire sign, Leo ♌️, so you might experience yourself or others, as more self oriented, desirous of being noticed, acknowledged, and appreciated.
- On August 11th, Mars, the planet of drive and action, entered into the slower moving, less direct, more internal, water sign, Cancer ♋️, where you may find things take longer to get accomplished, and are more emotionally driven.
Wishing you the most aligned, stellar expressions of these planetary shifts! ⭐️😊

Whether you’re physically witnessing the spectacular power of this new moon, Total Solar Eclipse, in the proud, courageous, heart ❤️ centered, fire sign, of Leo ♌️, or not, it’s cosmic, karmic nudges, messages, and synchronicities are unfolding, and being revealed to you; go within, listen, and align yourself, with its energy of release and renewal.

The full moon 🌕 in Aquarius ♒️, which is today, July 29th, is one of the most powerful ones of the year. Here’s just two of the reasons why. The first is that Jupiter, the planet of growth, expansion, and good fortune, in the bright, bold, fire sign, of Leo ♌️ is cazimi, which means it’s in the heart of the sun, where Leo ♌️ is at home; so, this planetary power couple can magnify, concentrate, and illuminate, the positive, life force energy, where you’re meant to shine. The second is that the moon is closely connected, conjunct, to Pluto, the planet of deep, often psychological exploration and transformation; so, this planetary power couple, both in the analytical, more emotionally detached, air sign of Aquarius ♒️ may illuminate what needs to be released or unearthed, that feels raw and real. My wish for you is a stellar, full moon 🌕 filled with both bright, beautiful promise, and potent, life changing possibilities!

I’m playing cosmic catch up today, which seems appropriate when talking about the first transit shift: Mercury stationed direct, yahoo 🎉, in the sensitive, intuitive, watery realms of Cancer ♋️, on July 23rd, although it will still be in a post-retrograde shadow period till August 6th, so proceed with those important communications, or travel plans, but keep double checking, and being a bit more cautious until then. And, yesterday, July 26th, Saturn, the planet of tough love and lessons, and delayed gratification, in the fast moving, impulsive, fiery sign of Aries ♈️, turned retrograde; so it’s time to slow down, go within, and reevaluate the structures and foundations of your life, and see if they are still working for you, in a measured, but deliberate and confident way. Also, on the same day, the north node moved into the freedom and community loving, innovative, air sign, of Aquarius ♒️, and the south node moved into the individualist oriented, bright, bold, regal, fire sign of Leo ♌️. These karmic shifts, and cosmic points, that connect to the upcoming eclipses, are asking us to move more in the direction of how we can serve humanity, rather than just ourselves, while still allowing ourselves to shine, and lead with love❤️.

It’s no wonder the sun 🌞, which represents our vitality, life force energy, what lights us up, is at home, in the proud, open hearted, regal, fun loving, fire sign, of Leo ♌️. So, as it enters its domain, today, on July 22nd, get in touch with your child-like, playful side, and if it’s your birthday 🥳 season, Happy Birthday 🎉, and permission to be a little bit extra, and over the top; just ward against demanding too much attention. Also, on your Solar Return day, when the sun 🌞 returns to where it was at the time of your birth, remember to sprinkle it with a little bit of all you want more of in your year ahead. It’s also a very aligned time for a Solar Return reading, so please reach out to Anya’s Astrology, if you’d like to schedule one.

Permission to feel all the feels, with the new moon 🌚 in the sensitive, perceptive, emotional, watery realms, of Cancer ♋️, on July 14th. But don’t be surprised, if you set an intention, that Luna, our moon 🌚 mother, might be a little slow to respond, to what you want to set in motion, since it’s in a close conjunction, conversation, with Mercury, the planet of communication, still in retrograde. But don’t dismay, your patience, and careful tending, of what you’re seeding, can really bloom, when Mercury goes direct, on July 23rd.

Neptune, the planet of dreams, imagination, and illusion stationed retrograde, on July 7th, in the action oriented sign of Aries ♈️. This planetary shift is asking you to go within, and discern what is delusional, or unhealthy escapism, from what could take form, and ignites your creative spirit, and mystical awareness, and go for it. Then, on July 9th, Venus, the planet of love ❤️ and beauty, is moving into the practical, earthy realms, of Virgo ♍️. With this cosmic shift, you could feel more called into acts of service, for the ones you love ❤️, or find satisfaction in decluttering and organizing your home 🏡; just ward against holding yourself or others, to an unattainable standard of excellence.

To all those who are celebrating, we’re wishing you a very happy & safe 4th of July, 🎆, and to our country, 🇺🇸 on its 250th birthday 🥳, more love ❤️, peace ☮️, unity, and freedom for everyone!
