Astro Vibrational Tapestry Report, Sunday, July 15, 2018
by Linda Berry and Starlene Breiter
The Strongest Vibration Today comes from the Sun joining with Mars and Jupiter (0*). This involves a whole lot of energy focused on expressing that which is special about you and celebrating the special gifts and all around specialness of those you are involved with and interacting with. More than at other times, right now you are likely to be more sensitive to people and who they are and what their gifts are. Your job is to focus on what you can sense in others and tell those people how much you appreciate the things you sense. This is not a really strong vibration so this is an opportunity if you open up and are attuned to it, but it won’t yell at you where you won’t be able to ignore it like some of the stronger vibrational frequencies. Remember to focus on others and not expect any recognition yourself, that reciprocal recognition may or may not come today, but it will likely come in time if you are not demanding it.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (in order of strength)
3 (0*) Free flowing, unrestricted movement of energy with a dislike for conflict and obstruction
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 Leo is void-of-course since last night at 7:12 PM. This can have us feeling a bit of a lull in energy. You might focus yourself on enjoying the morning time and working later in the day if you have to do some new projects. The Moon moves out of void-of-course and into the sign of Virgo at 1:31 PM. This is where the Moon is very observant. The Virgo Moon has us wanting to fix things in our lives, to attend to the details of living. What things might you fix during this Virgo Moon? The Moon is in Virgo until Tuesday. The first aspect the Virgo Moon makes is a trine to Uranus in Taurus at 5:21 PM. Here you may have some flashes of inspiration come to you. If there is something new you want to try, this would be a great time to do that. A little later in the evening the Virgo Moon comes to a trine with Saturn in Capricorn at 8:56 PM. This is where we emotionally want to seek out balance within ourselves. You can accomplish many things by being patient, and this aspect reminds us of that.
Cyclic Patterns we are experiencing at this time
{Longer Term Vibrations also need to be considered. These are patterns that continue over an extended period of time and you may want to reread this periodically to help you more effectively handle what we are all experiencing as our “astral weather” in this time period.}
Retrogrades of personal planets:
Mercury will go retrograde on July 27 and will turn direct on August 19. 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 and will turn direct in on August 27. 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 13th to 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.
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.
