Astro Vibrational Tapestry Reportby Linda Berry and Starlene Breiter
The Strongest Vibrational Pattern today comes from Venus engaging with Saturn and Neptune (3*) in a creative sharing. There is a strong attraction here to creative expression that will express your visions and dreams in a way that lasts long beyond your death. You are experimenting with ways of expressing your visions in various ways that will actually enable other people to see, hear, and feel what you sense that is important and more eternal than the fleeting experiences of everyday life. Once you figure out how to express your visions you want to do so in ways that will be really meaningful and long lasting. There is the capability today to evaluate and take action on your dreams.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (in order of strength)
32 (1*) Deeply internalized thoughts that are not seen by others but drive action
8 (1*) Acting to make something real in the world, manifestation
16 (1*) Internally focused thought
The Mood of the Day
Venus in Virgo started to form an opposition with Neptune in Pisces yesterday, and peaks in aspect at 3:22 PM today, lasting until tomorrow. During this time you may be having some idealistic thoughts about others. Be aware of this as this energy might be deceptive and not based in a ton of reality. You might feel great now or be idealizing something that does not really pan out for you as you suspect it may. Being aware is key and allowing your imagination the time to float through the thoughts that come to you, is a positive way to use this energy.
The Leo Sun starts to come to a square with Uranus in Taurus today about 6:30 AM. This aspect does not peak until tomorrow and lasting until the 26th. 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 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 Moon in Sagittarius comes to a trine with Mercury in Leo at 4:22 AM. You will find a friendly audience for your communication during this time. Thoughts and ideas you have will be persuasive. Try to make sure you are focused on the things that you want to make happen for yourself. After this aspect peaks there is a void-of-course Moon phase until the afternoon when the Moon moves into the sign of Capricorn at 5:49 PM. The Capricorn Moon has us assembling things in our lives and focusing on making things work. Delegating projects, or even getting in there and digging into what needs to be done is what the Capricorn Moon has us focused on. In the evening, the Capricorn Moon comes to a trine with Uranus in Taurus at 10:50 PM. This brings about a desire to live in the moment. A desire to be spontaneous and original is in the air.
Longer Term Vibrations that need to be considered.

{Longer Term Vibrations also need to be considered. These patterns continue over several days 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.}
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:
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 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.
