Summer of Love
by Vanessa Wright
Acquisitions Editor: Astrology, Divination, and Paranormal
We kicked-off July with the New Moon in Cancer on July 2nd,
making this the perfect month to begin new projects at home and deepen
our connections to family and friends. As Cancer is the sign of all
things domestic, this is an excellent time to host that dinner party
you've been dreaming about or get going on the woodworking project
you've set aside. The energy in the air is likely to provide an
environment conducive to forming closer bonds with your loved ones and
opening channels of support and affection. If you have anything on your
mind you need to communicate or any issues waiting to be addressed,
this is the time to clear the air.
If fireworks are what you are seeking this July, be
careful what you wish for. You might experience more heat than you
originally bargained for—in an arduous sense or as a deep disagreement
in your partnership. With Venus in Cancer opposing Jupiter in Capricorn
on July 3rd, we begin the month with an air of
self-indulgence. Excessiveness is the expression of the day. Carnal
pleasures, rich foods, and expensive wines can be very gratifying at
this time, but be certain to temper your desires, lest you drown
yourself in satisfaction, blinded to the world around you. Have you
been neglecting your partner lately? This aspect will not help patch-up
any lingering issues. To help balance this opposition, make sure to
focus a bit more energy on your partner's needs. Practice the art of
fine-tuning your listening skills and tone down presumptuousness.
A tight conjunction between Mars and Saturn in Virgo occurs on July 10th,
and is the most intense Mars-Saturn conjunction until the year 2022. To
top it all off, this heavy aspect forms a trine to Pluto in Sagittarius
and a sextile to a Sun conjoin Venus in Cancer. This provides great
staying power to any long-term relationship. This is an auspicious time
for any big, life-changing decisions you will make as a partnership. If
you are seeking to fine tune shaky dynamics, you and your partner will
have the energy and wherewithal for successful accomplishment. At
month's close, Venus in Leo opposes Neptune in Aquarius. Could an ideal
relationship that flowered mid-May be causing you some disillusionment
now? Take advantage of the potential for positive communication as the
Sun conjoins Mercury in Leo on the 29th.
August starts off hot and steamy and ends on a
similar note. Not only is the Sun in Leo, the sign of passion, ardor,
and intensity, but Venus in Leo makes a sexy fire trine to Pluto in
Sagittarius on August 5th. Your existing love affair is
likely to reach new heights of desire, love, and warmth, and you could
experience a new phoenix rising from the ashes of your former lustful
interactions.
Aside from the extreme planetary polarity of August,
by mid-month, there will be plenty of love and lust to go around. With
Venus in Virgo trine Jupiter in Capricorn on August 17th, you might find a budding romance suddenly in full, earthy bloom. The Sun in Leo trines Pluto in Sagittarius on August 21st,
and this only adds to the power of our yearnings. Have you been
fantasizing about that sultry tryst? As they say, strike while the iron
is hot. And what better time of the year can you expect your lover to
worship you in a sea of adoration than when the Sun is in royal and
radiant Leo. Just be sure to avoid the frigid Venus-Saturn conjunction
stalemate on August 13th.
As August comes to a close, our collective egos risk
a bruising as Venus, the planet of love, makes a square to
transformative and intense Pluto on the 29th. If you have to
reject a potential paramour, go lightly. Also, if you are on the
receiving end of unrequited lust, brush it off and move on. It's not
worth turning into an emotional Mt. St. Helens during this powerful
aspect. Watch your tongue, and don't fly off the deep end if your lover
doles out more than a few edgy quips in your direction, as Mercury, the
messenger and planet of communication, squares fierce Pluto on August 28th.
