Also over the weekend – Venus glided into Gemini. Let the games begin! Venus in Gemini definitely aerates the romantic atmosphere a bit. It’s been yonks since we have had Venus in an Air sign. Not since September 2008. So enjoy the lightening of vibe.

Between July 22 and 29, the love goddess makes a series of sensational aspects; a square to Saturn, trines to the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding that is ongoing till Feb 2010 and a square to Uranus. This ought to trigger all sorts of interesting carry-on. It will be an interesting “tell” of the Saturn-Uranus opposition exact in Sept. And Mars  – in Gemini  from July 12 – follows hard on the heels of Venus…

This is one of the reasons why it’s worth going hardcore with all the Capricorny-Saturn in Virgo pragmatic stuff now…because the last week of July is SO Venusian and will be such fun, especially hyped by a big Solar Eclipse.

And so we are just now ten days away from the exact Full Moon — a Lunar Eclipse in the sign of the Sea-Goat. Eclipses are like hyperbolic Full Moons, especially if they are close to a sensitive point in your chart. This one is at 15 Capricorn so affecting whatever you’ve got at or aorund 15 degrees and particularly the Cardinal signs; Aries, Libra, Kataka & obviously, Capricorn.

July 22 – the Solar Eclipse New Moon is the biggie though. An ultra-sonic fresh start. My idea for an Eclipse ritual to do with this one: Given that it is in Capricorn and there is an innovative Mars-Uranus sextile operating at the same time…Whatever comes up with this Moon, you have to sit down and do a totally Capricornian coup of control over it. Whatever emerges, you do an action plan & it’s got deadlines, goals etc. Action-action-action. And you aim to have a ‘review’ of the action plan just before the Solar Eclipse New Moon.

Of course, if nothing comes up &  you’re kinda just cruising along feeling fabulous, try and get in some beneficial Moon-bathing. Note also that the two weeks post this Full Moon and before the next New Moon are a stronger Dark Moon than usual. More of an emo undertow but also a powerful time to get rid of stuff.
