This month will begin with some startling surprises and a few twists turns along the way as 3 planets begin their retrograde periods this month and Venus will be conjunct Uranus on July 4th, which can be a very unexpected and wild set of circumstances. They are both close to the constellation Pleiades, also known as the Weeping Sisters, so there is a symbology of sadness surrounding that part of cosmic real estate.
The Moon is also in a long Void of Course period beginning in the afternoon of July 2th, through the 3rd and ends in the wee hours of the 4th when the Moon then enters Scorpio, the sign of its fall. I wouldn’t expect an upbeat celebration this weekend; it is just not the time for it. Void of Course just means the Moon makes no aspects to any of the planets so things tend not to work out or they just flounder during the void period.
This particular void is a long one, about 36 hours, but many are just a few hours or even less, so you’ve been through voids many times. Take things in stride and don’t try to make something happen as it won’t really work out the way you want it to. In fact, do less not more.
Mercury does its retrograde dance between July 18 and August 10, moving from 15 degrees of Leo to 9 degrees where it stations. Per usual Mercury Rx dictum, don’t sign leases or contracts and don’t buy expensive items or technology items during the Mercury Rx period.
