Intuitive Astrology: Cancer Season 2020

Cancer Season kicks off with a bang on June 20-21st , with a potent Solar Eclipse that falls on the Global Axis at zero degrees of Cancer .

I want to start this month talking about POWER .
There ’ s always a lot being said about claiming power .
The conversation about power tends to be focussed on self .
All about me .
Recent world events that we are facing have sparked a coming together , a ‘ we ’ energy , a unity energy , which are the steps towards @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Helen Barton talked about power from a spiritual perspective .
It touched me deeply and has been growing since .
Helen shared , true power is in the power of giving .
Think about it for a moment .
If true power is about giving and serving , then everything , every planet , and cosmic energy configuration is about leading us to that possibility and potential .
If however , we focus only on lack of power from a personal perspective , which is an illusion , we make it about ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stepping into abundance .
It is the opposite !
Before I reached for the cards for this Lunar month , I meditated on the energy , and I connected with Jupiter , the planet of success or excess .
With Jupiter ’ s help we can see the bigger picture , or we can become obsessed with how we are not enough , bringing us back to the “ all about me ” energy .
Though Jupiter works in a system with other planets and other galactic and universal energies , each IS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Divine Tapestry if you work with the energy and insight offered .
This New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer comes with the Solstice .
You don ’ t have to be an astrologer to know that the cosmic airways mean business with such energy and coming together .
It ’ s time to stop walking the line and cross it , stepping into a greater partnership with the universe and your soul .
This could be the beginning of all your Higher Self dreamed for you !
Though the question is , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ illusion of power and step into giving ?
Your abundance cards for this month : I was guided to pick two cards this month from the Abundance Oracle Deck .

We have a contrast in the world where some countries are opening up and some remain in lockdown , but what is clear almost the world over is that we have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are already calling it a recession and many more are personally affected through job losses .
There is a lot of uncertainty about the future too .
With all this uncertainty and anxiety bubbling and rising , it is easy to fall into the old fear habit .
But perhaps it is time to change this habit ?
The energy we are stepping into with this coming Lunar Month , is about sailing ships through stormy waters and connecting to the big and new picture .
Work with this affirmation , make it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ; turn to it .

Make it your friend , allow it to be your beacon , guiding you to your metaphorical new home in the new world .
In choosing abundance , you will start to feel and step into possibility .
One thing is certain this Lunar Month , it going to be full of fresh new possibilities .
Shed the old and bring in the new !
Affirmations , though @ @ @ @ @ @ @ used ’ consciously if you are to experience the magic they bring for you .
Sometimes you have to remind yourself , that this is my truth .
As you continue to uncover what you are and let that influence who you are and how you bring your light to create the New World , be sure to work with this affirmation .
The second card is about how to step into your power , not the old world power based on lack , but spiritual power – the power of giving .

I want to start this month talking about POWER. There’s always a lot being said about claiming power. The conversation about power tends to be focussed on self. All about me.
Recent world events that we are facing have sparked a coming together, a ‘we’ energy, a unity energy, which are the steps towards community.
Last week my mentor, Helen Barton talked about power from a spiritual perspective. It touched me deeply and has been growing since.
Helen shared, true power is in the power of giving.
Think about it for a moment.
If true power is about giving and serving, then everything, every planet, and cosmic energy configuration is about leading us to that possibility and potential.
If however, we focus only on lack of power from a personal perspective, which is an illusion, we make it about ‘me’ and that isn’t stepping into abundance. It is the opposite!
Before I reached for the cards for this Lunar month, I meditated on the energy, and I connected with Jupiter, the planet of success or excess.
With Jupiter’s help we can see the bigger picture, or we can become obsessed with how we are not enough, bringing us back to the “all about me” energy.
Though Jupiter works in a system with other planets and other galactic and universal energies, each IS assisting you to paint your piece of the Divine Tapestry if you work with the energy and insight offered.
This New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer comes with the Solstice. You don’t have to be an astrologer to know that the cosmic airways mean business with such energy and coming together.
It’s time to stop walking the line and cross it, stepping into a greater partnership with the universe and your soul.
This could be the beginning of all your Higher Self dreamed for you! Though the question is, are you willing to give up the illusion of power and step into giving?
Your abundance cards for this month:
I was guided to pick two cards this month from the Abundance Oracle Deck.
No. 7 Choosing Abundance, Element Water
This is an affirmation card: I choose financial abundance.
The first card is about how you step into true power, which remember is about the power of giving.
We have a contrast in the world where some countries are opening up and some remain in lockdown, but what is clear almost the world over is that we have a financial reset button pressed.
Some are already calling it a recession and many more are personally affected through job losses. There is a lot of uncertainty about the future too.
With all this uncertainty and anxiety bubbling and rising, it is easy to fall into the old fear habit.
But perhaps it is time to change this habit?
The energy we are stepping into with this coming Lunar Month, is about sailing ships through stormy waters and connecting to the big and new picture.
Work with this affirmation, make it your mantra. At times of wobble; turn to it. Work with it daily on purpose. In fact, work with it till the Eclipse Season is over.
Make it your friend, allow it to be your beacon, guiding you to your metaphorical new home in the new world.
In choosing abundance, you will start to feel and step into possibility. One thing is certain this Lunar Month, it going to be full of fresh new possibilities. Shed the old and bring in the new!
Affirmations, though magic wands, need to be ‘used’ consciously if you are to experience the magic they bring for you. Sometimes you have to remind yourself, that this is my truth.
As you continue to uncover what you are and let that influence who you are and how you bring your light to create the New World, be sure to work
with this affirmation.
No. 31 Being Abundance, Element Aether
The second card is about how to step into your power, not the old world power based on lack, but spiritual power – the power of giving.
When card 31 came in I smiled. I love the magic of both the cards and the universe. This card not only shows it, but also suggests, with a great gentle but definite nudge from the universe to focus on how you can be in service.
You, we, each of us were called to be here right now. It was right for our own soul growth and it is about what we have the potential to give and create as a legacy at the same time.
There is nothing grandiose in that. We are all chosen; we all together
could create a bigger picture of a new world. Not one person is more or less
important in this, yet how often do you assume what difference can you make? Or that you don’t have time…?
The simple message with this card is JUST DO IT.
It’s time to follow your inner-heart prompting despite the inner critic voice that says, who are you to do this, you aren’t ready, you can’t do that…there’s no time…it’s time. The beginning has come.
Will you work with the cards this Lunar Month?

Incredible how time flies – we are already halfway through the year !
Now is the time to let your feelings flow ; let it all out – all the emotions that you have accumulated during the last 6 months .
Tap into the energies of Cancer , an intuitive water sign , and be like a river – flowing freely and joyfully over any obstacles , ever-changing and always reinventing itself .

Home is their safe haven , where they need to feel nurtured and appreciated .
The water element makes them sensitive and mysterious , and gives depth to all their emotions .
One of the main things they should learn in this life is how to really tune into their feelings and trust their own intuition .
My mum is a true Cancer woman .
The nurturing and care she gives to her loved ones @ @ @ @ @ @ @ overwhelming .
She has always gone to such great lengths to protect and care for me , oftentimes setting her own needs aside just to provide for my well-being .
I am dedicating this article to her and all the other incredibly caring mothers , fathers , friends , or lovers out there who are too often being taken for granted and not appreciated the way they should be .
Here are 3 beautiful crystals I have intuitively chosen for 2020 Cancer Season- Since Cancer is ruled by the Moon , the planet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has the most profound influence on our emotions , we may all become more sensitive and vulnerable than usual during the Season .
Working with a Rhodocrosite stone can help us express our true feelings in a loving and compassionate manner .
It is a great crystal to soothe heartache and pain of rejection .
Rhodochrosite reminds us that we all deserve to have gentle and loving relationships .
All of us deserve to be nurtured , pampered , and appreciated by our loved ones .
The water element gives Cancer the need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also applies to romantic relationships – if they love , they love very deeply , or they don ’ t love at all .
They are very passionate and romantic by nature and they have an inner yearning to find that true love .
Since Rhodochrosite crystal vibrates love and compassion , it can help us attract a deep soulmate connection into our life .
At the same time , it encourages playfulness and childlike innocence , helping us all bring some pure joy into our lives .
This dazzling blue-green crystal helps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Cancer Season .
It helps us enhance our connection with the spirit realm , while reminding us that we are all part of the Divine – there is no separation between higher and lower , us and them .
The meaning of Labradorite crystal is closely connected to the Northern Lights , a uniquely magical , natural spectacle .
Since ancient times , those lucky enough to witness it have felt utterly humbled by the beauty of this otherworldly and enchanting phenomenon .
Both the Northern Lights as well as the Labradorite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around us .
It is our perception of the world that either makes it seem magical or mundane and dull .
We don ’ t need to practice witchcraft or develop psychic abilities to experience magic in our daily lives .
Simply walking in nature or even on city streets can be a truly magical experience , for it is our own state of mind that makes the world sparkle with magic .
Thanks to the influence of the Moon , it will be easier than usual for all of us to unlock @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Season .
Labradorite crystal can help us take our imagination to an even higher level .
Why not make the most of these beautiful energies by doing something creative every day .
It could be anything – writing a poem , playing a musical instrument , dancing , cooking an aesthetically pleasing meal or arranging flowers .
Tapping into our inner creative potential is one of the best ways to connect with the Divine .
Have you ever noticed how some people look effortlessly elegant no matter what they wear ?
Working with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appearance often reflects our purity of heart and mind .
If our thoughts and intentions come from a place of integrity and compassion , we will radiate beautiful light and look lovely no matter what we wear .
White Opal is a high vibrational crystal that brings us clarity and helps us connect with Angels and Spirit Guides .
It has incredibly soothing and deeply nourishing vibes and that is why it is a great crystal to relieve stress and anxiety .
White Opal can help us open up and activate our Crown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ discovering our soul calling .
It clears away any negative energies that may be lingering within our aura .
Those born with their Sun in Cancer may find themselves at a low point in their lives if they haven ’ t followed their intuition in important matters .
For all water signs ( Cancer , Scorpio , and Pisces ) one of the main things they should learn is that you can not trust anyone or anything more than your own gut feeling .
During the upcoming Cancer Season , White Opal helps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ balance , so that we will not drown in our own sorrow or get burnt by the flames of anger .
Oftentimes our outbursts of anger and frustration stem from a deeply rooted self-defence pattern .
We are trying to protect our values and perspectives , because they are so closely tied to our sense of identity and without them , we feel lost .
Once we realize that we are eternally nourished by an infinite supply of universal love energy , there is no more need to defend ourselves from anything .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ is beauty in simplicity .
Now that the Summer/Winter Solstice is here , it is a perfect time to de-clutter our homes and workspaces as well as our minds and inner world .
This helps us clear away any stagnant energy and get our creativity flowing freely .
Our emotions will be more harmonious and we will feel lighter to embrace the start of Cancer season .

Working with a Rhodocrosite stone can help us express our true feelings in a loving and compassionate manner.
It is a great crystal to soothe heartache and the pain of rejection. Rhodochrosite reminds us that we all deserve to have gentle and loving relationships. All of us deserve to be nurtured, pampered, and appreciated by our loved ones.
The water element gives Cancer the need to dive deep into everything. This also applies to romantic relationships – if they love, they love very deeply, or they don’t love at all. They are very passionate and romantic by nature and they have an inner yearning to find that true love.
Since Rhodochrosite crystal vibrates love and compassion, it can help us attract a deep soulmate connection into our life. At the same time, it encourages playfulness and childlike innocence, helping us all bring some pure joy into our lives.
Labradorite
This dazzling blue-green crystal helps us tap into the highly intuitive energies of Cancer Season.
It helps us enhance our connection with the spirit realm, while reminding us that we are all part of the Divine – there is no separation between higher and lower, us and them.
The meaning of Labradorite crystal is closely connected to the Northern Lights, a uniquely magical, natural spectacle. Since ancient times, those lucky enough to witness it have felt utterly humbled by the beauty of this otherworldly and enchanting phenomenon.
Both the Northern Lights as well as the Labradorite crystal reminds us that magic is everywhere around us. It is our perception of the world that either makes it seem magical or mundane and dull.
We don’t need to practice witchcraft or develop psychic abilities to experience magic in our daily lives. Simply walking in nature or even on city streets can be a truly magical experience, for it is our own state of mind that makes the world sparkle with magic.
Thanks to the influence of the Moon, it will be easier than usual for all of us to unlock our imagination and creative talents during Cancer Season.
Labradorite crystals can help us take our imagination to an even higher level. Why not make the most of these beautiful energies by doing something creative every day.
It could be anything – writing a poem, playing a musical instrument, dancing, cooking an aesthetically pleasing meal, or arranging flowers.
Tapping into our inner creative potential is one of the best ways to connect with the Divine.
White Opal
Have you ever noticed how some people look effortlessly elegant no matter what they wear?
Working with a White Opal reminds us that our appearance often reflects our purity of heart and mind.
If our thoughts and intentions come from a place of integrity and compassion, we will radiate beautiful light and look lovely no matter what we wear.
White Opal is a high vibrational crystal that brings us clarity and helps us connect with Angels and Spirit Guides.
It has incredibly soothing and deeply nourishing vibes and that is why it is a great crystal to relieve stress and anxiety.
White Opal can help us open up and activate our Crown Chakra and it gently guides us towards discovering our soul calling. It clears away any negative energies that may be lingering within our aura.
Those born with their Sun in Cancer may find themselves at a low point in their lives if they haven’t followed their intuition in important matters.
For all water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) one of the main things they should learn is that you cannot trust anyone or anything more than your own gut feeling.
During Cancer Season, White Opal helps us all to keep our emotions in balance, so that we will not drown in our own sorrow or get burnt by the flames of anger.
Oftentimes our outbursts of anger and frustration stem from a deeply rooted self-defence pattern.
We are trying to protect our values and perspectives, because they are so closely tied to our sense of identity and without them, we feel lost.
Once we realize that we are eternally nourished by an infinite supply of universal love energy, there is no more need to defend ourselves from anything.
White Opal also reminds us that there is beauty in simplicity. Now that the Summer/Winter Solstice is here, it is a perfect time to de-clutter our homes and workspaces as well as our minds and inner world.
This helps us clear away any stagnant energy and get our creativity flowing freely.
Our emotions will be more harmonious and we will feel lighter to embrace the start of Cancer season.

Neptune in Pisces enters its annual retrograde from June 22nd until November 29th .
Neptune going retrograde gives us a total of six planets in retrograde .
With so many planets in retrograde motion , there is a strong focus to revisit the past , to look over things before moving ahead , and to pause and reflect .

Considering we have so much retrograde energy swimming through the cosmos at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be subtle .
In fact , it seems Neptune is entering the underworld in almost a private manner , not wanting to draw attention to itself .
The underworld is where the ancients believed a planet went when it entered retrograde motion .
Neptune is the planet of dreams , wishes , illusions , but also higher realms of consciousness and unconditional love .
On lower levels of its energy , Neptune can make us feel confused and foggy .
But when we learn to transcend this , we can tap into a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ really means to love unconditionally .
Neptune is also the planet of Oneness and if we are open , it allows us to feel the truth of this for ourselves .
It allows us to feel that we are all just one big soul , sprinkled through different bodies .
I am you , and you are me .
We are one and the same , even though it may not look like that on the surface .
Neptune is not concerned with surface-level things , especially when it is traveling through the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unseen , it wants us to stretch our minds beyond the physical and look deeper , not with our eyes but with our eye .
As Neptune travels retrograde over these coming months there are a few themes that we may see manifesting- Neptune Retrograde ( Rx ) helps to shatter any illusions , allowing us to see things for what they really are .
When Neptune is moving direct , it loves to look at the world and see all colors .
There are no hard truths with Neptune , for it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When Neptune enters retrograde however , it becomes a little more discerning and we are able to see things in a more definitive way .

The power is always in your hands .

Neptune enters its annual retrograde from June 25th until December 1st, 2021 through the tropical zodiac of Pisces.
Neptune turning retrograde gives us a total of four planets in retrograde, including Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto.
With so many planets in retrograde motion, there is a strong focus to revisit the past, to look over things before moving ahead, and to pause and reflect.
Considering we have so much retrograde energy swimming through the cosmos at the moment, this Neptune Retrograde will be subtle.
In fact, it seems Neptune is entering the underworld in almost a private manner, not wanting to draw attention to itself.
The underworld is where the ancients believed a planet went when it entered retrograde motion.
Neptune is the planet of dreams, wishes, illusions, but also higher realms of consciousness and unconditional love.
On lower levels of its energy, Neptune can make us feel confused and foggy. But when we learn to transcend this, we can tap into a deeper spiritual awareness and feel what it really means to love unconditionally.
Neptune is also the planet of Oneness and if we are open, it allows us to feel the truth of this for ourselves.
It allows us to feel that we are all just one big soul, sprinkled through different bodies.
I am you, and you are me. We are one and the same, even though it may not look like that on the surface.
Neptune is not concerned with surface-level things, especially when it is traveling through the underworld.
Neptune is all about the unseen, it wants us to stretch our minds beyond the physical and look deeper, not with our eyes but with our eye.
As Neptune travels retrograde over these coming months there are a few themes that we may see manifesting-
Neptune Retrograde Breaks Illusions
Neptune Retrograde helps to shatter any illusions, allowing us to see things for what they really are.
When Neptune is moving direct, it loves to look at the world and see all colors. There are no hard truths with Neptune, for it can find the truth in everything.
When Neptune enters retrograde however, it becomes a little more discerning and we are able to see things in a more definitive way.
As it enters retrograde, you could say it is like getting backstage tickets to a magic show. Suddenly the smoke and mirrors are no longer there to distract you and you can see things as they really are.
Neptune will be asking us to revisit events that have been unfolding in our lives since November 2020, and see if there are any misguided truths or illusions that need to be shattered.
Interestingly, Neptune also rules over viral infections, so we may also receive some news around that too, and perhaps some new information coming to the surface. The week leading up to Neptune going retrograde (June 25) and then direct again (December 1) will be the dates to watch.
Neptune Retrograde Brings us to Back to Reality
For many of us, the last year has felt a bit like a dream. There have been changes and upheavals for so many of us. Perhaps we don’t recognize ourselves or our lives anymore.
Neptune Retrograde may bring us back down to reality a bit, and help us to get grounded in whatever “new reality” we may be finding ourselves in.
We may also start to gain some new acceptance around the direction of our lives and begin to see a path forward.
If you are feeling uncertain about anything in your life, Neptune Retrograde is a good time to take stock of where you are and to focus on how you can start taking steps in the direction of your choosing.
To guide you with this, start focusing on what you feel clear about, rather than what you don’t, and keep taking steps in that direction.
Neptune Retrograde and Spiritual Growth
Neptune is the planet of spiritual wisdom and understanding. Its energy helps us to explore realms beyond this one and dive into what is behind the veil. By working with its frequency, we can connect to our intuition, dreams, creativity, and psychic abilities with greater ease.
In fact, Neptune Retrograde is the perfect time to keep a dream journal or to start a new spiritual practice, especially one that is led from your own inner wisdom.
During a Neptune Retrograde, it becomes easier for us to access and connect with our own inner spiritual wisdom. Rather than looking for confirmation from the world around us, we are able to tap into our own inner resources with greater ease.
Each of us hold a powerful spiritual wisdom and truth that is there to guide us. While we can listen and learn from the wisdom of others, connecting with our own wisdom can truly be the most powerful, especially during a Neptune Retrograde.
During Neptune Retrograde, connect with your higher self and your own inner wisdom. Seek guidance and answers from within, rather than looking for validation from others.

foreverconscious--2020-06-26--Intuitive Astrology Forecast July 2020

Intuitive Astrology Forecast July 2020

As we start July , we wrap up the third and final Eclipse of the Season and of the Cancer/Capricorn cycle we have been working with since 2018 .
As we move through the month , things may feel like they are settling down and the energy may shift to a calmer place .
However , behind the scenes things are being planted for the next chapter of 2020 , one that kickstarts come September .
As we enter September and navigate through the final months of the year , we have a very fiery and combative Mars Retrograde , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more Eclipses as we enter November .
2020 was always destined to be a big and transformative year , so rather than fighting against all of this , learning to embrace it , going with the flow , and surrendering to the journey of your life will make things a little less stressful .
July is one of the months of the year , along with August , where we will get an opportunity to recharge .
It brings the incredible Sirius Gateway , that will beam high-frequency energy into our bodies and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ energy , and while a bit of purging will be required , we will feel the benefits and lightness that comes when we let the toxic stuff go .
To help support you through the month , I have created a Heart Drumming Meditation .
This meditation is designed to recharge your vitality and awaken and strengthen your life-force energy .
Here ’ s a wrap up of the July 2020 Astrology : Saturn left Capricorn for Aquarius back on March 21st , but seeing as Saturn is retrograde and traveling “ backward @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one final time .
With Saturn revisiting the last few degrees of Capricorn , from now and until December , we may notice themes from March and earlier in the year resurfacing again .
When Saturn was last traveling through these final degrees of Capricorn , many countries around the world entered lockdown , so we may find ourselves revisiting that in some way .
On a personal level , Saturn moving back into Capricorn may stir some past themes for us , however , it is important to remember that we have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new information or lessons are likely to surface , if anything , we may just be feeling a greater sense of understanding on the path we have been traveling .
If you want to dive into this deeper , read more on Saturn here .
The Sirius Gateway is a magical time of year where our Spiritual Sun , Sirius aligns with our earthly Sun .
Our Sun that rises and sets each day , brings us life and sustenance and our Spiritual Sun does the same , but on a soul level @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and inner vitality .
We may feel our life-force energy getting stronger , or we may feel more connected to the Qi or Prana that flows all through our body .
Under the Sirius Gateway , we are more likely to receive intuitive or cosmic downloads , and it becomes easier for us to awaken our Kundalini energy and raise our vibration to higher levels .
The Sirius Gateway is like a power source that we can plug into in order to refuel our batteries .
You can read more on the energy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ final Eclipse of the Season is here – a Capricorn Lunar Eclipse .
This is not only the last Eclipse of the Season but it is also the last Eclipse in the Cancer/Capricorn Eclipse cycle that we have been working with since May 2018 .
We won ’ t experience another Capricorn or Cancer Eclipse for another 8 years .
This Eclipse is like a culmination point and its energy feels detoxifying .
There will be some release or purge needed , but it will feel satisfying and we will have this sense @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a journey we have been walking .
After this Eclipse , we will have a few months break before resuming the third and final Eclipse Season of the year in November .
If you are wondering , 2020 does hold an unusually large number of Eclipses , we normally experience 4 a year , but this year we have 6 to work with .
More on the Capricorn Lunar Eclipse for you here .
The healing asteroid , Chiron will enter the underworld .
We already have strong retrograde energy floating through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like another name to add to the mix !
Chiron Retrograde will be guiding us to find the strength in any healing we have recently gone through .
Sometimes the healing process can make us feel tired and a little depleted , but Chiron Retrograde encourages us to use the healing we have undertaken to find a new strength and to tune into a new power .
Healing takes hard work , but that hard work also brings strength , resilience , and a new power .
Chiron Retrograde will be helping you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ find that for yourself .
Mars entered Aries at the end of June where it will stay for an incredible six months .
Mars is spending such a long time in its ruling sign due to its retrograde that happens in September .
Mars really becomes a star player as we enter the second half of the year , and it slowly begins sowing its seeds in July .

As we start July, we wrap up the third and final Eclipse of the Season and of the Cancer/Capricorn cycle we have been working with since 2018.
As we move through the month, things may feel like they are settling down and the energy may shift to a calmer place. However, behind the scenes things are being planted for the next chapter of 2020, one that kickstarts come September.
As we enter September and navigate through the final months of the year, we have a very fiery and combative Mars Retrograde, and if you can believe it, more Eclipses as we enter November.
2020 was always destined to be a big and transformative year, so rather than fighting against all of this, learning to embrace it, going with the flow, and surrendering to the journey of your life will make things a little less stressful.
July is one of the months of the year, along with August, where we will get an opportunity to recharge.
It brings the incredible Sirius Gateway, that will beam high-frequency energy into our bodies and souls.
It also brings some detox energy, and while a bit of purging will be required, we will feel the benefits and lightness that comes when we let the toxic stuff go.
To help support you through the month, I have created a Heart Drumming Meditation. This meditation is designed to recharge your vitality and awaken and strengthen your life-force energy.
Here’s a wrap up of the July 2020 Astrology:
July 1st: Saturn Re-Enters Capricorn
Saturn left Capricorn for Aquarius back on March 21st, but seeing as Saturn is retrograde and traveling “backward” it has now re-entered Capricorn for one final time.
With Saturn revisiting the last few degrees of Capricorn, from now and until December, we may notice themes from March and earlier in the year resurfacing again.
When Saturn was last traveling through these final degrees of Capricorn, many countries around the world entered lockdown, so we may find ourselves revisiting that in some way.
On a personal level, Saturn moving back into Capricorn may stir some past themes for us, however, it is important to remember that we have been through it all before.
No new information or lessons are likely to surface, if anything, we may just be feeling a greater sense of understanding on the path we have been traveling.
If you want to dive into this deeper, read more on Saturn here.
July 2-7: Sirius Gateway
The Sirius Gateway is a magical time of year where our Spiritual Sun, Sirius aligns with our earthly Sun.
Our Sun that rises and sets each day, brings us life and sustenance and our Spiritual Sun does the same, but on a soul level.
It helps to supercharge our soul and inner vitality. We may feel our life-force energy getting stronger, or we may feel more connected to the Qi or Prana that flows all through our body.
Under the Sirius Gateway, we are more likely to receive intuitive or cosmic downloads, and it becomes easier for us to awaken our Kundalini energy and raise our vibration to higher levels.
The Sirius Gateway is like a power source that we can plug into in order to refuel our batteries.
You can read more on the energy of the Sirius Gateway here.
July 4-5th: Capricorn Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
The final Eclipse of the Season is here – a Capricorn Lunar Eclipse. This is not only the last Eclipse of the Season but it is also the last Eclipse in the Cancer/Capricorn Eclipse cycle that we have been working with since May 2018.
We won’t experience another Capricorn or Cancer Eclipse for another 8 years.
This Eclipse is like a culmination point and its energy feels detoxifying.
There will be some release or purge needed, but it will feel satisfying and we will have this sense that we have finally reached the end on a journey we have been walking.
After this Eclipse, we will have a few months break before resuming the third and final Eclipse Season of the year in November.
If you are wondering, 2020 does hold an unusually large number of Eclipses, we normally experience 4 a year, but this year we have 6 to work with.
More on the Capricorn Lunar Eclipse for you here.
July 11: Chiron Retrograde
The healing asteroid, Chiron will enter the underworld. We already have strong retrograde energy floating through the cosmos, so Chiron just feels like another name to add to the mix!
Chiron Retrograde will be guiding us to find the strength in any healing we have recently gone through.
Sometimes the healing process can make us feel tired and a little depleted, but Chiron Retrograde encourages us to use the healing we have undertaken to find a new strength and to tune into a new power.
Healing takes hard work, but that hard work also brings strength, resilience, and a new power. Chiron Retrograde will be helping you to tune in, connect, and find that for yourself.
July 13: Mars conjunct Chiron
Mars entered Aries at the end of June where it will stay for an incredible six months. Mars is spending such a long time in its ruling sign due to its retrograde that happens in September.
Mars really becomes a star player as we enter the second half of the year, and it slowly begins sowing its seeds in July.
As Mars aligns with the healing asteroid Chiron, there will be a greater emphasis on needing to find our strength and inner warrior.
Following this alignment, over the next few months, Mars will then move on to align with the two Goddesses, Black Moon Lilith and Eris.
This creates a strong, fiery, and combative energy and tensions are likely to turn from a simmer to a rapid boil.
Once Mars goes retrograde on September 9, we are likely to see and experience this with more clarity.
More to come on this as we journey through the months, but just keep in mind that now is a good time to use this energy to claim your power and to not give it away.
July 14: Sun Opposite Jupiter
When the Sun aligns opposite Jupiter it tends to bring abundance and expansion, however, Jupiter happens to be retrograde and is hovering at the exact same degree of the Saturn Pluto Conjunction that happened earlier this year which triggered a lot of what we are now seeing play out through 2020.
As Jupiter moves over this sensitive degree and aligns opposite the Sun, we may see themes from January resurface, or something that was hiding in the shadows from this time may be uncovered.
July 12: Mercury Direct
Mercury will turn direct after being retrograde since June 17th.
We may feel a greater sense of clarity starting to arrive, especially now that we no longer have any personal planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars) in retrograde.
We always feel the personal planets the most when they retrograde, so as Mercury returns to its former speed, the air should feel a little clearer.
July 20: Cancer New Moon
The Cancer New Moon is a sensitive one and brings a mix of energy. On one hand, this New Moon will bring a fresh new lunar cycle, helping to create some distance from the recent Eclipse energies.
Things should feel lighter and we may feel inspired to set some new goals or to think about how we want to wrap up the second half of the year.
Saturn however, is also very active on this New Moon and its presence can sometimes bring harsh energy and restrictions. We may feel a pressure building, or we may feel held back in some way.
The best way to use this energy is to think about how you can take responsibility for your own life rather than waiting for permission from outside sources.
Under this Dark Moon, ask yourself – How can I take what is in my control and turn it into the best possible outcome for myself?
July 22: Leo Season Begins
The Sun enters the sign of the lion and reaches its fullest power in the cosmic skies.
Leo is ruled by the Sun, so this is a time where all of us can step up and learn how to radiate and sparkle in our own unique way.
The midpoint of Leo Season in August also brings the magical 88 Lionsgate Portal, where we get to work with the energy of Sirius, our Spiritual Sun once again.
July 25: Mars Enters Shadow Period
Mars will begin slowing down from this point forward as it prepares to go retrograde later in September.
Whatever is unfolding now until this time holds a clue as to what themes the upcoming retrograde will bring. We may also begin feeling some tense energy bubbling in the undercurrents too.
Mars Retrograde is a time where we can feel a little sluggish and like we have lost our motivation, so if you have important projects you want to get done, it’s best to start making some good headway at this time.
July 28: Venus Leaves its Shadow Period
Venus went direct on June 24-25 but it will now return to its former strength.
In the coming days, it will also leave the sign of Gemini, where it has spent an unusually long period of time and will enter the sign of Cancer.
Venus won’t retrograde again for another 18 months so this represents that we are well and truly on track with a new Venus Cycle.
As we begin this new Venus Cycle, we may feel stronger in our hearts and more open to new waves of Love.
To help support you through the month, I have created a Heart Drumming Meditation which you can find here. This meditation is designed to recharge your vitality and awaken and strengthen your life-force energy.
Happy July!
