Happy Independence Day to the U.S. 🎉🎆🇺🇸

Mars conjunct Uranus in Gemini sextile Neptune in Aries.

Mars/Uranus Conjunction Recap (discussed yesterday)

Mars conjunct Uranus early Saturday morning @ 2:08 AM, EDT, first house, Mars' natural realm.  Mars is also "in sect" (nocturnal), which means its power can be expressed clearly and positively. Uranus in this realm, on the other hand, can make or break laws by following its own intuition. It's clearly a nonconformist filled with surprises and upsets, for better or worse.

In Gemini, Uranus expresses innovative and original perspectives, particularly in the twin themes of education, communications, and literature; however, Mars needs to develop discipline and concentration to draw on its strengths of energy, dexterity, and skill. Here is a restless warrior in search of adventure lacking solid direction despite a strong sense of liberty and justice most likely staring it in the face. 

Both these cosmic bodies exemplify individuality and the desire for freedom, through rebellion if necessary. Uniting our focus toward a project or worthy cause requiring a mass amount of energy would be the best way to spend the day. 

It's our 250th anniversary here in the U.S. We can hit the beach, party, celebrate, or protest, march, and advocate for liberty and justice for all without losing an ounce of our individuality. 

Tonight Mars sextile Neptune in Aries. Romance and idealism permeate; however, our energy may feel somewhat drained from the day/evening activities.  Social interaction proves beneficial because Mars' sensitive side shines under this aspect rather than its ego. 

Kicking our feet up at home after celebrations (here in the U.S.) can prove the most beneficial and even life-altering by turning our focus inward toward a subject we'd like to study more.

Mars trine Pluto Rx, Astraea stations retrograde in Pisces: “You’ve got to learn to leave the table when love is no longer being served.”

SUNDAY'S ASPECT

Early morning Mars in Gemini trine Pluto Rx in Aquarius. This aspect occurs for Mars in its 10th house accidental exaltation, the natural home of Capricorn ruled by Saturn. This placement strengthens its spontaneity and drive. Pluto Rx in the 6th turns our focus to work and health. These two in tandem create a fusion of energy with desire to improve ourselves personally and/or professionally. Research is highly favorable during this time and can provide valuable insights. 

ASTRAEA STATIONS RETROGRADE 

Astraea and the Significance of Asteroids in Astrology

In Greek Mythology, Astraea is known as the Star Goddess or Maiden and was renowned as the virgin god of justice, innocence, purity, and precision. She was beloved by the Greeks and thought to represent the Light in the world during what scholars have referred to as 'The Golden Age'.

MONDAY'S DAILY ASPECT

Sun in Cancer square fallen Saturn in Aries, presents a unique challenge that can take us back to negative childhood patterns we may have avoided. What we avoided or kept secret then must be addressed now or it will keep cycling. 

Saturn is fallen in Aries; however, it's also in its 10th house of accidental dignity at this aspect's perfection time, strengthening its themes of influence regarding responsible limitations. It's time to put away foolish things of yesterday and commit to growth. 

NEPTUNE  RETROGRADE IN ARIES

Neptune originally entered Aries March 2025, and after a retrograde (returning it to Pisces), reentered Aries for the final time this past January; therefore, it permanently remains in Aries until 2039, including this current retrograde until December 2026.

The Neptune ingress into Aries was the second step readying us for a new paradigm shift, following Pluto's ingress into Aquarius. Now that Uranus has entered Gemini, all the transcendental planets are rooted in new zodiac signs, completing the shift.

Neptune stations retrograde in Aries & Last Quarter Moon in Aries: Discerning the Difference

💫Neptune stations retrograde in Aries. Full post linked below.

LAST QUARTER SQUARE MOON 15°Aries41' perfects this afternoon @ 3:29 PM, EDT, 6th house, the natural home of Mercury-ruled Virgo.

 The 15th degree is a critical degree attributed to Gemini, also ruled by Mercury, who is currently retrograde. It's a midpoint in all zodiac signs; however, may prove more influential during this lunar phase, where we are asked to discern the difference between fear/doubt and course-corrections to reach our goals.

No major aspects. Venus enters Virgo @ 1:22 PM, EDT: The beauty of this coupling is non-forceful, voluntary, and often a subconscious response to a magnetic pull.

Venus enters Virgo conjunct the South Node opposite the North Node in Pisces trine Chiron in Taurus. These aspects are waxing and won't perfect until early Friday; however, they are partile (0°) during this ingress.

Venus in Virgo trine Chiron in Taurus & Out-of-Bounds North with an extended Void-of-course (12+ hrs.) Moon.

Venus in Virgo trine Chiron in Taurus conjunct South Node in Virgo opposite North Node in Pisces (times & degrees below). I previously discussed these aspects in conjunction with yesterday's Venus enters Virgo post. If you missed that post, you could read it here.

An Out-of-Bounds Moon has traveled far enough from the ecliptic (the circle of orbit) and begins to produce some very curious effects. It is believed by many that the Moon is most dramatic when OOB. Additionally, it, as well as the void-of-course aspect are basically ignored in modern astrological practice. 

I will say that as of late, I have seen more astrologers incorporating these into their posts, which is an upturn.

An OOB Moon is one of the most astonishing in its repercussions, and a void-of-course has a tendency to return us to ground zero.

ANOTHER EXTENDED Void-of-Course Moon (24+ hrs.) in combination with an OOB N' position. 

We enter an EXTENDED V/C beginning this evening at 6:11 PM that will last until Sunday evening @ 6:46 PM when the Moon enters Cancer. 

I am happy to see more astrologers incorporating V/C and OOB Moons into their articles. These are important factors that influence the decisions we make. Particularly in reference to the V/C's axiom, "Nothing will come of the matter." 

From what I have personally experienced, nothing has! 

A Void-of-Course signifies that all is not as it seems and can be daunting; it may not be a good or appropriate time to answer your question or begin something new. As it is now, the results may not be what you want.

Matters will not go as you planned; in fact, most of the time it will end up far worse than you planned. You have been caught blissfully unaware. You’ve missed something or you weren’t paying close enough attention. But you won’t be able to set the situation right at the current time.

Sit still and stay as you are. Take no action at the current time. Wait for the storm to pass over. It is time to be patient and allow matters to settle before beginning anew. Allow this matter to resolve on its own without your help, work, or interference.
