Astro Vibrational Tapestry Report, Thursday, July 19, 2018by Linda Berry and Starlene Breiter
The Strongest Vibration Today is generated by Mercury, Venus and Saturn (1*). The mind is very active today analyzing what is really and truly beautiful. It is looking for things that will last, things that will be beautiful, 5 years from now, 10 years from now, 100 years from now. There is a strong desire to reach some fundamental level of understanding of what lies below the surface. There is dissatisfaction and impatience about superficial or trivial concerns. You may find yourself wanting to read books that inspire you, that are written in a beautiful way with the writing combines with beautiful poetry or pictures. You may even find yourself moved to write some poetry or get a group together today to share some poetry that different people have written. Whatever your area of interest sharing it with others today is right in line with the vibrations of this day.

The Mood of the Day
{The only aspects to mention today are aspects to the Moon. Moon aspects are more like moods, than life-changing alterations/situations. Since they are two planet Moon patterns they only last a couple of hours on each side of their peak times.}
The Moon in Libra comes to a square with Pluto in Capricorn at 2:43 AM. Here the energy brought up is very deep. Since this is the early morning hours where many of us are asleep, you may notice that you have deep or revealing dreams. These dreams are parts of your subconcious coming out, so make sure you journal them down when you awaken. Following the Libra Moon comes to a sextile with Mercury in Leo at 5:54 AM. This brings an element of the mind to the table. We are thinking about things as ideas float through our minds quickly. The last apsect is when the Cancer Sun comes to a square with the Moon in Libnra at 3:52 PM. This is the first quarter square and the mid-point between the New Moon eclipse that just happened and the solar eclipse that will take place next week. Make sure that you do not force yourself during this time. This is a high energy time that can be stressful, so try to make the energy you feel flow in the way that you want it to, as opposed to something you do not really want to happen. After this transit, the Moon is void-of-course until 9:13 PM when she moves into the sign of Scorpio. The void-of-course Moon has us feeling a bit of a lull in the day. Not a lot is going on energetically so focusing on the things that are already on your plate is where you should put your energy. The Moon moves into the sign of Scorpio at 9:13 PM where she will remain until Sunday. The Scorpio Moon has us looking deep within ourselves and uncovering or seeking out things that we may have burried down inside.

The First Quarter Moon is today at 3:52 PM. It brings a strong sense of dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs. There is a strong need to change whatever is necessary to bring ones dreams and visions of life into reality. This week you have the opportunity to make connections between old sources of wisdom and new sources of wisdom coming from the exploration of new frontiers. There is help available to you if you will only open up and accept the help that is being offered. However in order to be able to receive that help you must do your part to build the type of world you want to live in.
We are in a New Eclipse Cycle starting with the Solar Eclipse on July 12. This will be followed by a Lunar Eclipse on July 27 and a second Solar Eclipse on August 11. Thus we are entering a full month of change. Be prepared to go through a series of changes involving new realizations about yourself and the world around you. This eclipse brings with it a feeling of focus and discipline touched with a certain obsessive compulsive feeling about getting done what you need to get done. The Sabian Symbol for this eclipse is “A prima donna singing” which encourages us to naturally express our gifts as they come up within us without the expectation of special privileges being given to us as some kind of right based on how special we are. If we demand special treatment it will distort our gifts as they are used to feed the ego, rather than being expressed as a natural part of us.
The Summer Solstice was on June 21 and this energy pattern will be influencing us until September 22 when the Fall Equinox occurs. The Summer Solstice is when the Sun enters Cancer and the Summer officially begins. With the temperatures we have been seeing a lot of places, it looks like the Summer has gotten off to a running start. This summer there is a strong emphasis on taking action that will benefit the community and bring peace and healing. People will not be willing to sacrifice their sense of what is right and ultimately meaningful but they will value operating in peaceful cooperative ways to achieve their goals. In the midst of all this it is important for each of us to take some time out to just be in the moment and relax and play in a creative way.
Retrogrades of personal planets:
Mercury will go retrograde on July 27 (23le26) and will turn direct on August 19 (11le32).
We are currently in the pre-retrograde shadow which lasts from July 8 to July 27. During this time period you need to check and double check and triple check things because you are more likely now to miss something and need to correct it. The post-retrograde period will be from August 19 to September 2. This Mercury retrograde is focused on whether you get caught up in the superficiality of appearances or you can learnt to expand your awareness of yourself and others to a point where you recognize your innate self-worth and the worth of other people and recognize that who a person is, is a lot more important than what they appear to be. Appearances can be deceiving and you are challenged to look at the deeper truths of each person you interact with.
Mars went retrograde on June 27(9aq13) and will turn direct in on August 27(28cp37). When Mars appears to go retrograde due to our position here on the Earth, the Mars energies are likely to go out of control if they are disturbed. In other words, anyone who hasn’t worked through their issues with anger and frustration may explode during Mars retrograde. There is also a shadow around the retrograde both before and after the retrograde period when the Mars energy may not work the way you expect it to work. The pre-retrograde shadow was from May 13thto June 27th. The post-retrograde shadow will be from August 27th to October 8th. In the post-retrograde shadow you will have an opportunity to rework your issues with anger and frustration and perhaps learn a better way of dealing with times when your actions get blocked by something or someone around you. The challenge of this Mars retrograde period is to see where you need to take responsibility for your life and your decisions rather than blaming others, to see what biases and illusions you carry within you that are distorting your reactions and to revise your understanding to see the deeper truths of each person as a unique soul and spirit of value.
