Driven To Perfect and Invest Oneself
STARDROPS JULY 9 2023
Several unique planetary cycles are influencing our lives but if I were to isolate one main theme, I would pick the movement of Mars leaving Leo and moving into Virgo on July 10. After Mars’ motivation to regain our quality of life as we trust it could be along with the courage, confidence and self directed inspiration, now we’re entering a brand new field. It will be intellectual analyzing, editing, fixing, perfecting, and the drive towards JUSTICE. This is the point where Mars leaves behind a graduation in the theater of love and self satisfaction or self direction to one of a more mental analyzing service focused theme. Our minds are now driven to focus upon things which are WRONG and need to be corrected. “How can I invest myself into this situation, bring to light the situations which are not the way they could be and serve to make it better.”
It’s good to keep in mind that with every Virgo perfecting cycle and a penchant for hard work, we gain a wonderful harvest at the end. We’ll go into this later. For now let’s sort through the quick yet important daily planetary cycles….
July 7 – 8 Mars at 28* Leo inconjunct Neptune and Pluto Leaving July 8.
This Mars cycle was part of a Finger of God for the past few weeks which put many of us in a position of trusting ourselves more, regaining our confidence and independent empowerment regardless of potential dangers, problems and disappointments out there. This is the end of that energy, so a bit more settled assurance should return to our daily lives after experiencing the complexity of this past week’s cycles.
July 9 – 10 Mercury in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces
Some kinder compassionate feelings and experiences can be had as early as the 8th up through the 10th of July. Excellent for coming to resolutions with others, empathetic understanding and nice conversation can be had. Opening one’s self up to love and support more than any other position. Good for spiritual learning, comprehension, spiritual experiences, trust in a process, a higher intelligence working through a situation. It’s a nice cycle for planning, scheduling and making important decisions. Divine insights come to your mind through these days.
However, there is another thing going on at the same time as an undercurrent of information passing through our minds….this undercurrent of thoughts, facts, observations we;re having might impact our future plans with an edge of of cautiousness and maybe even a decision of some finality about a situation. It might be a sorting out what we care about and value versus some situation not congruent with our own values. My sense is go with the loving insight and communications, sharing and higher vision and slightly put aside the disgruntled unresolved incongruencies for a while.
It’s only for a few days, but I suspect the awareness of this has been building for a while. The 9th and 10th could very well be the days where there’s a conviction or final decision in your own world as to how to handle the irritation.
Mars enters Virgo July 10 Enjoy the harvest
The dynamic energy of Mars has moved into a much more grounding and conscientious sign Virgo. A new impetus to organize, clean, perfect, sort is strong.
A desire to be more of service, and expect a bit more from self. In the end a nice harvest is reaped. Putting attention on physical issues which require fixing is now a theme up to August 26 2023. It is a great sign for Mars to be in, to really cut through get a lot done that is functional and constructive for yourself and then here’s the Great Outcome, reach your goal and reap the harvest.
July 10 – 18, 2023 Mars at 0* Virgo trine North Node at 0* Taurus.
Just as Mars enters the highly functional perfectionist sign of Virgo, it will arc a trine over to the earthy material North Node in Taurus. Mars releases a power of energy to move us into a strong urge to be very specific with our desire to build something in our lives which can be highly functional now. It can push us to care about our diet and body as Virgo is all about nutritional needs, higher vibrational foods, cleansing or fitness. It can inspire us to clean, organize and sort out some area of our lives or jobs and projects. It can increase motivation towards financial order.
The most beautiful energy of this cycle might be for you a desire for greater purification and alignment with your Divine Self. Mars in Virgo enhances service, drawing down more light into your Body and Soul with whatever method works for you. This would be the cycle of increase of light which dispels entities and other shadowy things.
Global
Globally it’s a very positive cycle for public support for issues pertaining to Virgo injustices. The public will be picking apart whatever issues have been recently brought to light. There will most likely be a theme of injustice, outrage, disturbing revelations. Socially, they will be extremely upset and nterested in all the details of the facts regarding any one subject in the world which undermines those qualities of Virgo (pick any one). Mars in Virgo is smart. It pushes us to care about every detail about a particular thing. It drives a person towards correcting things which are broken, corrupt, unfair, unjust. It detests shabby, dirty, sloppy, disorderly and impure. It doesn’t matter if it’s economy, social, environmental, medical, it wants the facts accurate and analyzed. In the trine to the North Node, it extends its influence into a new public trend….Any issue which impacts society for correction and of course typically the nodes will drag in the talk about the money. These issues which involve above subjects can be now massively scrutinized and demand fixing.
Enforcing justice will be the ultimate end game of this cycle.
Yes, Mars trine Node only lasts a few days, but it is at Zero Degrees, along with the North Node entering Zero Degrees Taurus, (until July 18th). Zero is a number with power. It amplifies the action moving through the population regarding any one of these global issues. It sends a message to the people, “Now you know and you have verification, fix it.”
The Nodes moving into Aries/Libra
On July 18th 2023 the Nodes move into Aries/Libra and shift the social trend towards increased idealism, possible retaliation and aggression. The nodes might take the injustice themes exposed to the world into the sign of Aries North Node, the idea of taking things back into the people’s control at any cost.
Because these nodes are square to transiting Pluto at the same time (July 18 to at least August 18th, 2023, a sharp clash between the idealist social trends demanding change and regaining control and abusive Pluto control factors could begin dangerously.
The nodes represent financial economic trends, along with a large percentage of society care about up to July 18th. Because the Nodes have been in Taurus/Scorpio (financial, economy, medical, death, sex, trafficking, manipulations, having and surrendering things, acquiring versus giving up and sacrificing) and it comes to a head in July trine the Mars in Virgo, we’re looking at a moment in time where all these Taurus/Scorpio issues pop out into the open and a new fiery movement takes over to confront the injustices. The public’s minds have now verification behind corruption and has popped, in a good way.
Soon after July 18th, because the Nodes will then move into Aries, things could take a more aggressive turn. On all sides. A forced retaliation upon the injustices and a backlash of violent or manipulative operation upon Node social circles or trends could escalate.
Many people will take the impulsive and bold nature of North Node in Aries and begin coming out on several controversial subjects up through Nodes full cycle in Aries/Libra. ( up to January 12th 2025)
It’s a time of idealistic fighting for causes, assertive and confrontational bold energy, fearless and willing to take any action necessary in order to challenge yet not without consequences. That’s the piece we don’t want and will mitigate.
How this effects us personally?
How will these Nodes in Aries/Libra impact your average person? From July 18 up to Janaury 2025 it will inspire greater bold yet simple approaches to our every day issues, our tasks, relationships, the way we look at our lives. It will inspire us to think in ways which create more control over our days and weeks. Aries is about self expression, identity and having a feeling of control over situations. It could be much more simplistic and black and white perspective such as…”I’m either in or out, invested or not, care or not care, committed or leave “ There isn’t any gray field. It will be energizing and moving forward with plans with much more assertiveness. It can instigate confronting unfinished business. It should be more self motivating.
The downside could be its simplistic one track agenda and possibly not considering a higher wisdom but concerned only with A specif outcome reached no matter what.
July 12 -14 the Sun sextiles Uranus and Mercury at 6 Leo inconjunct Saturn 6* Pisces.
The Sun shares its creative powers, love, confidence and vitality with others in an innovative brilliant way. Conversations and collaborations with others who are honest, transparent and desire positive constructive changes to take place is good, but some ideas might be inconvenient. The relationship sharing and connection should be great in the big picture, is worth it, but the effort needed to accommodate or help out, arrange some complications or show up and be there in some way, might not be what you had in mind, but oh well, it’s only a few days. needing to work it out. Try to let go of petty thoughts and complaining and enjoy this time.
July 14 – 15 Venus in Leo inconjunct Neptune in Pisces. A few days of possible issues with a purchase, with money…but could also be a socially disconnected issue or events. Plans might not be working out, the expectations one had as to how this or that might play out could be frustrating. Things might cost a bit more than planned, and a bit disruption with our connection with particular people could leave us wondering what was that all about? Confused.
Some of us might expect NOT being on the same page with someone so this isn’t a big deal, just not the best day for certain people connections to meet expectations.
Practical action taken to maintain practical balance with money and emotional safety.
With the New Moon upcoming on July 17 at 24* Cancer oppose Pluto at 29* Capricorn and square the New Nodes positions at 29 Aries/Libra leading up to an exact intensity on July 27th, my concern would be assertive actions taken to enforced control and economic manipulation with strong reaction to this attempted control. It might appear in several ways, but this was one of those cycles I’ve been watching since May …May 17 – June 3. We had Jupiter conjoin the North Node square Pluto at 0* Aquarius. Since then an attempt to launch economic reset and identity control could be released in a much more obvious assertive program in August with the Pluto square the Nodes, but now involving the New Moon in Cancer.This Pluto/Nodes/New Moon theme globally feels to me more like economic solutions executed but failing.
The New Moon
The July 17 New Moon Theme is about preserving our security, abundance, money, food, well being. It brings a focus upon desire for more of these Cancerian things in one’s life. This would go for everyone. It opposes Pluto which would be the source or the situation that would attempt to deprive us of this Cancerian security . Something that wants to deny it , neglect us from having it, ignore it or abuse its power and try to take it away or negate it, say that we don’t need it.
Even go for our need for emotional safety , honoring our feelings , intuiting certain important facts but then realizing somebody else is ignoring or denouncing these feelings? It could be plutoniun power factors like other individuals in our life, government, agency, or just within our own psychology talking us out of needing certain emotional support or material physical nurturing and security expansion in any way. Real estate can come into this home property house improvement or family improvement. It’s a standoff in a way with Pluto. However with most of these astrology cycles there is a leader and a dominant planet it is the Sun Moon in Cancer winning out at the end.
The New Moon theme “I have the right and the ability to move forward on my security needs and deny this plutonian situation, person, energy that is somehow trying to steal my needs of providing and achieving this security and these Cancer goals.
The fact that Pluto is opposing that New Moon in mid to late July means we’re up against certain potentially undermining things, but of course, we can push them all back and overcome them. The square to the nodes could describe other factors which are attempting to insert control over the situation to further take charge of the narrative.
Global
The lead planet the sun canjoin moon , is about maintaining thriving consciousness for the population. It doesn’t have anything to do with independence individuality and freedom, as we usually talk about, it has to do with emotional and physical material needs to provide a coocon and a safety shield around yourself your business your money your family your emotions and your sense of well being. It’s about security .
People can go for a higher level of security which does require more effort. So these may be the kind of conversations we’re watching and certain channels of debate but I still feel the new moon will l override the Pluto control power and the nodes’ aggressive attempt to reign in control in some fashion.
AFFIRMATION
“I AM commanding the prosperity, abundance, peace and divine wisdom to rule humanity everywhere. I AM receiving only peace, security and progress in my life each day. I claim and accept the full blessings of my Higher Self, My Divine Presence to flood my world with every good and perfect gift, including protection from all destructive drama in the world, and I accept this done in full power, Amen.”
