July 2021 Fire! Passion! And Intuition!

On Thursday, July 1^st, we start off the month with the passionate and fiery planet of Mars, in opposition to the planet of traditional rules and order…Saturn. This may be a time of needing the fire of Mars to push through to get things done all while keeping focus.  Saturn does not want us to drift off our path, but to ensure we reach our destination.  Keep your eye on the prize and push ahead.

On Saturday, July 3^rd, again…the initiator planet of Mars will now square off with the planet of shock and surprise, Uranus.  We may feel the strong urge of Mars to break free and rebel against authority.  Use caution with actions to avoid negative consequences.

On Friday, July 9, 2021, we have a New Moon in the intuitive and  loving sign of Cancer. The spiritual meaning of this new moon relates to positive change, freedom, excitement, and higher self-awareness. This New Moon in Cancer is associated with partnership and compromise. New moons always represent the end of a cycle and the beginning of another new 28 day cycle. This one is about fresh starts, clean slates and the opportunity to begin anew.  The feeling will be one of turning over a new leaf or the kick off of a new project.  At this time, we may also be questioning our old values, habits and belief systems…as we search for new and updated ones.  We may feel as if we are more emotionally balanced.

This New Moon is sextile to the planet of shock and surprise…Uranus. This means there is an opportunity for positive change, gratifying surprises, and energizing encounters. Uranus gives us the freedom and willingness to leave our comfort zone and try something new and exciting. For some, this may allow you to feel comfortable expressing the more flamboyant or creative side of your personality. This can be an opportune time to meet new people and they could be unconventional, eccentric, or from a different backgrounds other than your own.  This new moon will bring an increased self-awareness, intuition, aha moments, and creative inventiveness.  Use this time to allow yourself the time to make new discoveries and take full advantage of any unexpected opportunities that come your way.

When we add the fiery planet Mars into the mix, it’s about bringing an increased desire for intimate relations and the feeling of satisfaction. Mars is driven by an intense need for gratification.  We may be very direct in our approach and search for passion and enthusiasm.  This New Moon in Cancer is an excellent time to start creative projects that you feel passionate about.
