Astro Vibrational Tapestry Report
by Linda Berry and Starlene Breiter
The Strongest Vibrational Pattern that we will experience today is from the Sun joining with Mars and Saturn (1*). This is about being willing to do the hard work needed to balance everything out and to manifest the result in an easily flowing pattern that people are comfortable with. Having a sense of what you want to express, you then are able to step back from your pre-occupation with your own ideas and put yourself in the shoes of your audience recognizing that they each have a way of viewing life that this new thing needs to fit into. You are able to sense how you can express your sense of what is important and long-lasting in such a way that others can understand and relate to it. Then you are willing to do all the hard work that is involved in this type of effective expression.

The Mood of the Day
The Leo Sun came to a square with Uranus in Taurus yesterday and we will continue to feel this energy until about 9 AM today. We can be feeling very energetic during this time, as if there is an electrical energy running through us. Just be sure to be aware of your actions because there is a tendency to make mistakes because you are not present in the moment. Keep yourself focused and feel the inspiration of being in the present moment with yourself.
The Leo Sun starts to form an opposition with Mars in Aquarius about 6 AM today, this aspect does not peak until the early morning hours of tomorrow but it builds all day today. This is can have us feeling quarrelsome and frustrated, with others especially. Try to keep a level head on yourself and if you feel your temper arising, do something to spend that energy in a healthy mannor. Try a work-out class or some sort of activity that you spend energy with others, that will be the best way to handle this energy.
Mercury turns retrograde from 1:03 AM today until August 19th. This can have communication being a little bit strange. Be sure to double check things that you do, especially things that revolve around communication. Phone calls, emails, text messages, the internet, all of the ways that we communicate with each other are being called to the forefront and put under a cosmic microscope during this time. Be sure to read the Cyclic Patterns section of this report (below) for more information on Mercury retrograde.
{The remaining 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 Capricorn Moon comes to a sextile with Neptune in Pisces at 2:29 AM. This is a great energy to meditate under. You are given intuitive senses during this time. If you happen to be asleep during this time, you might be gifted with prophetic or enlightening dreams. Be sure to journal your dreams down when you awaken. Later on in the morning the Capricorn Moon comes to a trine with Venus in Virgo at 6:03 AM. This has us feeling beautiful. Our surroundings are lovely and the interactions we have at this time are heart centered. The Moon then comes to a conjunction with Pluto, both in Capricorn at 9:41 AM. Here we feel as if there is something from the deep that comes to the surface. It may not be the most comfortable of times to have things come up like this, but if you take a perspective that is not personal, healing can come from it. The Moon then comes to a void-of-course phase until tomorrow morning. This is like the quiet before the storm as tomorrow there is an eclipse and Full Moon. Therefore take this time to set yourself up for the Full Moon and some intention setting you might want to do tomorrow. Try to enjoy the lull in the energy and not to allow yourself to be bored or stagnant.

Mercury goes retrograde today July 26 (23le26) and will turn direct on August 19 (11le32).
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.
The First Quarter Moon was on July 19 and will be influencing us until the Full Moon on July 27. 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:
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 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.
