Rebirth

ARIES: Rebirth

This month you should be presented with opportunities to look back over the strides you’ve made and the challenges you’ve faced in recent months as you begin a brand new cycle.

The young child in this card stands at the doorway between past and present. He still has an opportunity to look back behind him and clear up any unfinished business. But he has that same opportunity to venture forward and face a brand new world.

This is the Druid Craft Tarot’s version of the Judgment card. It’s the endless human journey that we sometimes refer to as “karma.” We reap and sew with each thought, action, and decision.

This card calls for self-evaluation and awareness, a need to develop enough spiritual altitude to look objectively at your mistakes and short-comings as well as your triumphs and victories.

It is a powerful reminder that in order to put the past behind us we must not only let go of prior judgments but heal the wounds that have been holding us back. It’s a card of both atonement and forgiveness. Of unconditional love, understanding and acceptance — for both ourselves and for those who’ve hurt us or let us down.

This card represents a summation of all that has come before, and an awareness that each step taken — from here on out — leaves an indelible imprint on our future. It represents a calling — a spiritual call to action, where the past meets the present and beckons you toward the future.

Forecast

Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astro Forecast for the week of July 24, 2016 – July 30, 2016:

Venus and Pluto are involved in an uncomfortable aspect — an inconjunct — as we start the week on Sunday. The inconjunct to Pluto forces us to re-evaluate our relationship with deep-seated fears and desires and find a way to reconcile them with our personal realities.

Forecast

Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astro Forecast for the week of July 17, 2016 – July 23, 2016:

This week starts with a beautiful grand water trine involving the Sun, Mars and Chiron, beginning in the early morning hours of Sunday. This configuration can help to smooth some of the tension that’s erupted all around us in recent days but can also manifest as a call to martyrdom.

Venus in Leo

Venus enters Leo on July 12, 2016 at UT 06:33 UT (1:33 am EDT). Venus is the “love” planet, representing how you give and receive love and affection, as well as what you find aesthetically appealing.

Venus also rules “money” as in earning potential and income, as in how you handle money, how you spend it, and whether you’re attracting it to you or seeing it run through your fingers like water.

By transit, Venus brings emphasis to these areas of your life — for better or worse, depending on the sign, house placement and relationship the transit forms to planets in your natal chart.

In general Venus transits are favorable. They’re sociable, cooperative and harmonious. They can bring in new love interests or reignite a spark with someone you already have history with.

They can also bring in money. These are usually not major windfalls; they’re more along the lines of unexpected gains, gifts from loved ones or money saved through fortuitous shopping. Speaking of shopping Venus transits correlate to a desire to spend money too.

We start this week with the Sun sextiling Jupiter on Sunday.  Jupiter is the planet associated with higher consciousness and spiritual pursuits. This transit refers to a joining of hands between two very dynamic energies which can propel you toward pursuing your goals with confidence and enthusiasm.

Forecast

Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astro Forecast for the week of July 3, 2016 – July 9, 2016:

This week starts on Sunday with the Sun in trine to Neptune, which can increase your sensitivity to outside influences and leave you feeling more susceptible to psychic impressions. This transit can help you end your weekend on a mellow note; so mellow in fact that you may decide to stay in and get some extra rest rather than venturing out. It’s a good time to pay attention to your dreams, meditate, get in touch with your creativity and heed your inner voice.

Strength

ARIES: Strength

This month you may be called upon to tame your inner beast, meaning that if you feel your emotions rising and you know they may get out of control if you give way to them then you need to reign those emotions in and find another way to express them.

On the surface you look happy and calm almost contented as if nothing can rattle you yet underneath a storm may be brewing.

Be on the lookout for anyone trying to press your buttons to seek a reaction from you. This may be of paramount concern to you this month with the Strength card — this version from the Anna K Tarot — as your talisman.

If you have been having trouble with someone and they know how to rile you then you need to be extra vigilant that you do not react the way they are hoping for. If you do you lose and they win.

The yellow sky shows a prevalence of mental abilities today yet if your mind is too cluttered with many different thoughts you may not get to the gist of what you are wanting to know.

The white dress shows you as innocent in some way… almost like a blank canvas waiting to see what sprouts forth. Whatever does come forth for you today you can be sure it will not be small.

Weekly Astro Forecast — June 19, 2016 – June 25, 2016

Forecast

Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astro Forecast for the week of June 19, 2016 – June 25, 2016:

We start this week with a Mars / Uranus inconjunct on Sunday, This is a recurrence of the February 5th inconjunct between these two planets, before Mars went retrograde. This aspect can manifest as tension and frustration over events that are happening too quickly and erratically that they seem to be completely outside of your control.

Venus in Cancer — June 17, 2016 — July 12, 2016

Venus enters Cancer on June 17, 2016 at 20:38 UT (3:38pm EDT). Venus in Cancer natives are known for being sensitive, affectionate and loving.

This is a very feminine archetype. Even the strongest, most independent and assertive Venus in Cancer people — both male and female — are apt to express themselves in traditionally feminine ways, nurturing, caring for and comforting others.

When it comes to relationships, they tend to mother their partners as well. They may be passive or indirect in the early stages, but this is because they have a lot of fears — mostly regarding rejection and abandonment . But once settled into serious, committed, long-term relationships, they shine at doing what they do best: being emotionally supportive and nurturing.

Venus in Cancer people are also very sentimental. They have fantastic memories and never forget a birthday or an important / meaningful anniversary. They also rarely forget a slight.

While not all of them come from happy or functional families, most of them are aware of how their childhoods and family dynamics have shaped them. This is particularly evident in their relationships.

Forecast

Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astro Forecast for the week of June 12, 2016 – June 18, 2016:

On Sunday, Mars trines Chiron and Venus sextiles Uranus. The Mars trine Chiron aspect is a gentle warrior aspect. It can manifest as a desire to stand up for those who are unable to stand up for themselves. it can also make it easier for us to see and acknowledge other people’s points of view. This is especially comforting, as Mars is also moving into an inconjunct with Uranus (exact next week but only one degree away right now), and this trine can soften some of that erratic Uranus energy.

Forecast

Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astro Forecast for the week of June 5, 2016 – June 11, 2016:

The New Moon on Sunday is part of a grand mutable cross involving six planets: the Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. The Sun, Moon and Venus are all conjunct at 14° Gemini, opposing Saturn and squaring both Jupiter and Neptune (which are in opposition to one another).
