Metaversal Daily Forecasts: July 13 and July 14

Monday July 13
It’s a day full of trines, a wonderful repeat of the weekend’s energy that
recalls our experiences and helps us launch the plans that have resulted.
The Moon trines Mars and Venus as it completes its stay in Aquarius at 12:23 pm
(3:23 pm ET). At 7:40 pm, it enters Pisces and makes a late contact with
Mercury to tie all our thoughts and feelings together, a pause in the
transition.

Tuesday July 14
We know, just as animals know a storm is coming, that we are alive during a tipping point on planet Earth. More and more of us are feeling drawn to engage with the world, not to deny it. Whether our engagement is direct or indirect, spiritual or secular, it springs from the same idea: that the meaning of global events is part of the meaning of our lives as individuals. This means that the sufferings of the wider world are not just background noise. The corruptions of our society aren’t merely a cosmic plot to wreck our career. Global events are not random tragedies that the Metaverse decided, on a mean-spirited whim, to cook up in order to mess with our peace of mind. The melting of polar ice caps, the ISIL fighters in Iraq, the gang rapes in India, the jailing of journalists in Egypt and everything else are part of our lives for a reason. Whether consciously or unconsciously, we are part of these happenings.Our souls wanted to learn from them. It takes spiritual courage to keep the mind open when our hearts feel like closing in distress. This is when it’s good to remember a basic astrological premise: If we’re alive during these years, we are, by definition, up to the challenge of these years.And right now we have access to an extraordinary dose of courage, during Uranus in Aries (2010-19), square to Pluto is being triggered by the Sun as I write.
Its key teachings are:

1. the freedom of the individual and

2. the power of ordinary people.

This is the transit that brought the issue of income inequality to the forefront of the mass mind. Since then, the 1% has been working overtime doing damage control. Their blasphemies against everything Uranus stands for have been getting more and more flagrant. Can you imagine the reaction of Uranian genius Thomas Jefferson, for example, upon hearing that the US Supreme Court had granted corporations the cropped status of individual persons? Madison Avenue has been busier than ever since Occupy, co-opting its populist cri de coeur. Have you seen that commercial for PayPal, assuring us that because we, the 99%, are consuming their product in droves, fattening the coffers of the 1%, somehow this means that “people rule”? To hold onto our freedom of thought amidst a daily barrage of plutocratic propaganda, we have to stay exquisitely alert. And it must be an alertness attuned to this particular world moment. Our dangers are as native to current times as the plague was native to Elizabethan Europe. The pestilence we face is that of 21st-century mind control. We’re up against the ubiquitous commercial messages of wired life (Uranus), and the virtually unlimited political resources at the disposal of the powersthat-be (Pluto). The only way to meet these challenges is with the inner resources that are ours by birthright. We start with our goddess-given intelligences, separating out real information from disinformation. Where advertising is concerned, most of us in the capitalist West have gotten used to doing this: we’re not going to faint with surprise when we find out, for example, that our expensive pomegranate drink in fact contains only 3/10 of a percent of pomegranate juice. Where the news is concerned, however, often a fog of credulity descends over the collective mind. The news about Iraq, for instance, tends to arrive in the West pre-packaged in NATO’s narrative: a doctored storyline that in no way prepared American observers for what’s happening there now. But astrology has been giving us, all along, a sense of what was waiting in the wings. We knew the cardinal cross would be about world-destabilization. That’s its point. We expected national boundaries (Capricorn) to break down (Pluto) in some way, as is now happening with the Syria-Iraq 539812border. The sudden segue of one war [Syria's] into another [Iraq's]; the armed (Mars) takeover (Pluto) of cities like Mosul and Tikrit– places we hoped to never again hear war reportage about – are part of the crumbling of a toxic paradigm of world governance. Worldwide, sureties are disappearing, making us need more than ever to stay in touch with the era-specific gifts with which our birth chart comes equipped. Each of us has an inborn nose for the truth. When we’re accessing our common sense (Mercury) and holistic perception (Uranus), we’re far less likely to get seduced into the fake infighting of national factions. We’re able to spot the propaganda hiding behind the reportage of mainstream journalism. We see military language for the manipulative ploy that it is. In the case of the Iraq war, we are able to point out the elephant in the room: That this was a war for oil, profit and control. Washington’s plan was to divide the country along sectarian lines in order to conquer it. They managed the first part, and haven’t given up on the second. To ask qui bono? about the war in Iraq is to see that the major shareholders of such agencies as Boeing and General Dynamics profited handsomely. Millions of other human beings, of course, lost everything, including their lives. As the Cross pummels the US chart, Washington’s underlying motives, together with its careening incompetence, are undergoing a long, rocky series of exposés. At the moment we are watching yet another American president sending yet another shipload of “military advisers”to Iraq, to be followed up by troops and guns.A question that should be asked at this point is: Which Iraqis, exactly, want Uncle Sam back? It certainly isn’t the people (Uranus) of Iraq. It is the dubious Nouri al-Maliki and the masters of war in Washington (Pluto) who installed him. In talking about the Uranus-Pluto square this way, I do not mean to suggest that Uranus is the good guy and Pluto the bad guy. Each of these powerful planetary archetypes has both a trans-egoic capacity – its heroic side — and a shadow capacity – its dark side. The latter manifests when we fail to understand the planet’s higher purpose. The shadow side of Pluto – warlords, plutocrats and the destruction of the environment through human greed – is all too obvious in these years of the cardinal cross. Harder to see is its heroic side: the complete makeover of obsolete structures that stand in the way of our evolution. Uranus’ shadow side is exemplified by disconnected technology: data used without empathy; bio-tech that abrogates the laws of Mother Earth. Its heroic side is the capacity of individuals to convene together in support of each other’s shared humanity. It is the whimsy of the best political theater, the idea-sharing of dissidents, the courage of activists who rise up to protest injustice. It is the righteous crowd that, no matter how many times it is overpowered by police, spy agency or military, will not disburse.

The Metaversal 13 Month Calendar

Metaversal Lightcraft Hyper-abyssic Astrology Forecast July 7th to July 13th

MONDAY JULY 7
The Moon finally wakes us up when it makes contact in an array of harmonies that stimulate our
imagination and ability to change. You know that moment of truth you had recently? You’re motivated to do
something to activate that today. That’s Saturn’s sense of responsibility talking. Talkative Gemini Venus is
connecting the dots there, completing a Saturn-Pluto yod that started July 3 (Thursday), and it may be difficult to
avoid displeasing someone as you do what’s overall best. Matters of the heart and the pocketbook are influenced by
valuable Venus today, requiring us to concentrate on our relationships and our finances. It’s difficult to find pleasure
and still meet our obligations as beautiful Venus aligns with stern Saturn. We may have to postpone enjoyment until after the unrelenting Scorpio Moon joins hardnosed Saturn tonight. Exercising self-discipline prevents us from having to learn our lessons the hard way. A challenge could come today due to a misunderstanding, as Venus also squares Chiron, so be discrete with your
words and try not to rub salt in an existing wound.

TUESDAY JULY 8
Intelligence is the greatest aphrodisiac, but a dab of extract from a civet's anal gland and a nice pair of shoes
will work just as well today. The Day of Mars in the Week of Water, finds the red planet in Libra, but for just a little
longer. Tuesday's Karma Yoga Workshops here at Metaversal Lightcraft have taught us how to become more diplomatic in areas of conflict, and when Mars enters Scorpio next week, we will have . We’re heading into the Uranus retrograde, and the Metaverse sends us the high sign today when the Sun squares Uranus. This opens the time tunnel through which we can transmute as much volatility as we know how prior to the retrograde (July 21). Time is more flexible right now with respect to quantum change (Uranus’s domain), so we can initiate changes now that will manifest during the rest of the Uranus cycle, which ends next April.
This is also a Cardinal Cross reactivation, so we get to take a few more steps in resolving the issues we’ve been dealing
with since April’s Cardinal culmination. Our chances of progress leading to success are enhanced by the Sun’s trine to
Saturn, signaling that the end of Saturn’s retrograde is not far off. This opens another time tunnel, where we exit the
learning-and-building phase of the Saturn’s yearly cycle. The Moon is relatively low-key today as it goes void after a
single contact, a sweet trine to Jupiter at 3:33 pm At 6:25 pm, it enters Sagittarius to lift hearts and
spirits.

WEDNESDAY JULY 9
The Day of Mercury in the kabbalistic World of Water, Briah. Mercury's function is to communicate. To think. To know.
To reason. Language is his playground. The Akasic Library is his home. And oh yes, Hermes is a Love god. He likes the
sound of his own voice. Write a poem, a sonnet, or some erotica today and them transmit that information to at least
one other person. I write these darn things every Wednesday. Mercury teaches (by demonstration), the animation of
Eidolons, the magick indwelling of icons by Spirit. Sun trines Chiron, and we settle into the healing process we know is needed over the next few months. The Moon continues through Sagittarius, taking us from early morning dreaminess to afternoon excitement with links to Neptune and Uranus.

THURSDAY JULY 10
There is a whole division of the Angelic Hierarchy assigned to the sephiroth Chesed (Jupiter) whose purpose is divine inspiration through laughter. And there is no vision more critical in the career of the adept than the Metaversal Joke. Did you here the one about the twin child, the male-female Holy Spirit of the Gnostic Mass, the living fruit of two sexual partners. The Book of Lies teaches that seed and child and parent are mystically one, and that the seed represents the innermost and highest expression of the parent. In the Star Sapphire, a ritual form of the IX, the invocation brings father, mother, son, and daughter (YHVH, above) into one point of mystic union, referred to as Ararita. This daughter-son, the living elixir, is made a sacrifice to the magical goal of the working. Note that it is not metaphorically alive, but literally alive, containing a great quantity of living cells. Thus, for the male magician, it is the sacrifice of "all that he is and all that he has" into the "Cup of Babalon", which is held by the Scarlet Woman of Babylon and in which the blood of the saints is said to be mingled. The inner incubation time is important and knowing when to intuitively act is a part of the process. Even projects already in motion may benefit from releasing attachments to specific pictures or outcomes and allowing for the possibility of even greater expression to unfold. The Moon connects love and action as it provides an early activation of Sunday’s Venus-Mars trine.
We get a broader perspective on our results late in the day via a contact to Mercury at 5:19 pm (8:19 pm ET),
the start of its void period. The Moon enters Capricorn at 8:25 pm to reacquaint us with a deeper reality.
Capricorn represents, on the level of the first octave, the period between 7 weeks until 12 weeks after Conception, when the embryo becomes a fetus, and the sex and physical appearance are determined. The body takes form through it's skeletal system.
On the level of the fourth octave (see Chapter 9 of the Metaversal Lightcraft Training Manual for more on the Four Octaves), Capricorn represents the integration and structuring of the higher perceptions of the Self in the World on a practical level. On the World scale, Capricorn occupies the period between AD 1750 and AD 1840. This was the time when the ideology of Sagittarius was translated into material form. Humanity evinced a superiority over the forces of nature, and the Industrial revolution began. Romanticism surrounded the likes of Shelly, Goethe, Byron, and Chopin, reacting to the cold prevailing mechanistic World view. Rudolph Steiner said that the human being is created, and destined to be, a self-defining creature. Are we slightly higher than monkeys or slightly lower than angels? Good old fashion hard work yields the answer. Monkeys and Angels are set to grind corn with the Sun in Capricorn. Tackle those long term projects and remember, the Mountain must be tackled one step at a time.

FRIDAY JULY 11
Invoke blessed Haniel, just before dawn or 2 hours after sunset and behold, a court of photosynthetic Angels who make
this place inside your chest cavity a Paradise, performing tantric intercourse in magick towers and lush subterranean
caves, opening your Lionheart chakra, a breeze like yellow silk on your naked skin. She really gets my donkeys up
onstage. I love the way she plays with my expectations. Like a little dragon-faced hen bursting with tinsel and frayed at the wrong end. The Moon makes its run through the Cardinal energies Part One, and we could feel taken by surprise by the
afternoon’s events after a mellow morning. Enterprise overcomes all.

SATURDAY JULY 12
As the Moon makes its connections with Cardinal energies Part Two, the Full Moon at 4:25 am. brings its illumination, and starts off active Airweek. This makes for one very powerful experience that will leave no one unchanged, in a good way. Emotions run high, and this is exactly what we need now to push us over the top on the changes we haven’t yet had the courage to activate—if we’re ready. If you still have more work to do before your launch, focus on your preparations until the next opening comes.
When Mercury re-enters Cancer at 9:45 pm, we know our emotions even better, and we are goaded to do the work we
know is necessary to experience the fulfillment we’ve set our heart on. This is the last significant contact with Jupiter before it moves into Leo (July 16), and we’ll feel a hurry-up energy around anything we haven’t taken care of related to its past year in Cancer. We’re also goaded by three other pending turning points: Mars’s move into Scorpio (July 25), Saturn’s Station Direct (July 20), and Uranus’s Station Retrograde (July 21). Everything turns on a dime now, and changes can happen in small steps very quickly. The Moon is void from 6:56 pm until it enters Aquarius at 8:07 pm. In the Full-Moon chart cast for the US, we see an emphasis on changes at home. People are finding it important to connect with each other in community in new ways—group to group, and enriching each other via varied resources and perspectives. This is brought about by changes in the political balance around the world as existing situations create unexpected and unintended consequences. The economy continues to sputter along, and the plight of the average worker is spotlighted, as healthcare reform continues to be a bright spot in people’s lives. The Sabian Symbols for the Full Moon are: “a relay race” (the Moon), and “a prima donna singing” (the Sun). Both symbols suggestion social events and gatherings, times to celebrate our successes and achievements both personal and cultural. The urge to compete is strong and may undermine the important message we have to deliver this week, but if we allow ourselves to be led, or wait our turn, we will turn out winners.

SUNDAY JULY 13
Between dark and light the angles of times are best manifest at their balance, so invoke Apollo, Ra, or the baby-faced
Sun god from the Teletubbies into your heart Chakra today. Sunday is always a good day integrate all the planets in our personal Lightcraft. In the World of Yetzirah, Air, the Lightcraft is analogous to the active aspect of the psychological body, or for simplicities sake, let's call it Psyche. In the physical body (in Assiah) there are infinite subdivisions down to the frontier of the physical world, where the particles of matter and impulses of energy are interchangeable. In the same way, the Psyche interpenetrates the body so that the upper part of the physical world percolates and influences the lower part of the psyche, and vice versa. In the macrodimensions of the Metaverse, a crisis can generate a direct contact with the Sun in Yetzirah (Psyche) but after the crisis, the connection fades, and the watcher in oneself fades back into the subconscious. The Lightpilot seeks to consciously make permanent connection with the Sun in Yetzirah. This is done by constant observation of actions, emotions and intellect, to perceive impartially the way those functions operate, and to correct and perfect their performance so as to become a true seething. To be the big picture, complete in all its parts. Venus has been activating our relationships with an emphasis on light-hearted fun and good times since June 23, its entry into Gemini. Now it brings a culmination in our love life as it finally reaches the exact trine to Mars at 23°42' Gemini-Libra. This is especially auspicious, since it also trines the North Node as Mars conjoins it. This is a very strong energy of union and commitment to the future of a relationship.
We may see a mission or purpose with someone that we affirm at this time, which may play out in business,
family, friendship, or personal partnership. The Moon in Aquarius eases our emotional response to the Full Moon,
but we still need to keep plugging away on our long-term projects. Aquarius represents, on the level of the first octave, the period between 12 weeks to 28 weeks after Conception, when the electrick nervous system of the fetus switches on. On the level of the fourth octave (see Chapter 9 of the Meteversal Lightcraft Training Manual for more on the Four Octaves), Aquarius represents the higher Self projecting itself to the world tribe, through media, groups, circles of friends (your Tribe) and utopian aims and idealistic pursuits alter the prevailing social systems. On the World scale, Aquarius occupies the period between AD 1840 and 1910. This was the time when the established dominance of the material world in Capricorn quickly required more sophisticated planning, spurred by Schopenhauer, ideas and beliefs from the east began flooding the West through such diverse channels as the Theosophical Society, the Golden Dawn, and the operas of Wagner. This was the time of Crowley, Nietzsce, and the early works of Freud. With the Moon in Aquarius we have the ability to combine East and West, Light and Dark, Sun and Moon. This is where we are compelled to reach out to others and network. If you’ve elected to forego swallowing the gravity
pill, you can take part in the holographic cherub hunt – but mind you don’t bruise your fellow prisoners! At this point a viscous orange liquid (it doesn’t stain) will

Saturnsday Night!

Metaversal Astral Terrain Forecast for the first week of July, 2014

Tuesday July 1
The Day of Mars in Fireweek. Mars hasn't always been a god of War. More powerfully cool to blast ejacaulations of dragonbreath fireballs at the mainstream media charade, to shootfireworks out the buisness ends of elf flamethrows at the fleeing asses of neo-conservative goons. Our failure or unwillingness to alter our ways, our inability or refusal to change the direction of this nation and the continued indifference or complicity to the plight of billions has unmasked us all. At 5:50 am PT/24°23' Gemini, Mercury resumes forward motion (Stationary Direct), ending its 24-day retrograde period (8:50 am ET). The Moon starts us off for the month in Leo, going void of course at 3:00 am, giving us a long day to stretch our legs and read a good book, or finish up some of what Mercury has left behind for us to deal with. We may feel stymied by the lack of activity, but we’ll be revived when the Moon enters industrious Virgo at 2:24 pm. Yes sun and moon are joy riding basically, because they have the key. Who gave them the key? I did. So, fuck me like fried potatoes on the most beautifully hungry morning of my God-damn life. A parting of the ways is at hand, as Pluto and the North Node connect. We’ll feel like it’s time to make life changing decisions, and we are challenged to balance what we want with what we feel is "reasonable" or "practical". There is nothing flexible about the way you look at me between those big blue ice sculptures. In the end, we need to follow the path with heart, or we won’t have the energy to complete it. All the little elfin figurines have been drugged. Crack them open and spread the dusty paste over your chosen chakras.

Wednesday July 2
The Day of Mercury in the kabbalistic World of Fire, Atziluth. Visualize your self wearing sneakers with wings as you read this. Mercury's function is to think. To know. To reason. There is no foot race to win here. Language is his playground. The Akasic Library is his home. And oh yes, Hermes is a Love god. He likes the sound of his own voice. Write a poem, a sonnet, or some erotica today and them transmit that information to at least one other personMoon in Virgo means an encounter with our healing process, and that’s what happens today. We’re still getting used to the conditions that established themselves in June, and today is a good day to apply analysis to an emotional process. While it may be difficult to make a stepwise plan, we can at least develop a greater understanding of what has so far occurred and take care of leftover logistical tasks that may have fallen through the cracks. Do not expect curb service with the mind that we had previously, because we now Have a Quantum Mind Deluxe. Love is the Law. With the subtlety of a sledgehammer, thought and expression, the depth of imagination, and the ability to think non-verbally inspire you to create beautiful art and music. Moon-Mars and Moon-Mercury trines lift our spirits and spread joy. Giant maple keys may come spiralling from the sky to cut off the heads of the Evil Ones and delight the children. Laughter will clear our hearts of sadness. Skyscrappers should be renamed cloudsnaggers.

Thursday July 3
The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Fire . Projecting Light Specific Blue and facing West, vibrate this azure deluxe into your Second Chakra along with the mantrum: EE-BE-DA. Jupiter is all about allowing ambiguity, contradiction, and movement. It isn't about integration. It helps the ego become more flexible. By Jove, life isn't about staying calm and balanced, but rather about keeping complexity and drama and everything else alive and in dynamic flow. We should not underestimate the power of Earthritual/ interlock/ and the focused magnetism of emotion. If we would like less catastrophic weather change, this is specifically the engineering we must learn. Like man, the weather participates or partakes of both Earth and Sky. These planet-wide weather up-heavals are literally and specifically, collective emotions. Only if we can emote collectively and braid our ecosystems with coherent emotion can we save our future. This is no arbitrary test for survival of our genepool. It is the perfect test. If we can learn to braid electrical space with the harmonics which love weaves, then we have passed the "ring pass knot" gate to the privilege of doing that same activity for the braid creation of star systems and galaxies with our similar but much unpacked and blossomed electrical bodies. Love is not just a good idea, it's the Law The healing process continues as Moon makes through the late degrees of Virgo. Mercury helps out when it trines the North Node for the third of three times, reminding us of the direction we’re headed in and the rewards that are already here, with more to come. There’s still something awkward about our relationships, especially when we try to share what’s happening with our friends and family. Although certain things have had to remain hidden, it’s time for the light to shine in those dark recesses. The Moon enters her void period at 9:21 pm (12:21 am July 4 ET) until early tomorrow, giving us an evening to let our mind wander.



Friday July 4
The Day of Venus n in the kabbalistic World of Fire. Something significant is revealed as the Sun opposes Pluto. This is the Full Pluto, the halfway point of Pluto’s retrograde, and of its yearly cycle with the Sun. This has felt intense for a few days, and the release is just as strong as it opens us to new understanding. At 2:43 am (5:43 am ET), the Moon enters Libra to launch another lively Cardinal weekend. The Moon is balanced in Libra today. Libra represents the period from 23 to 42 years old, when partnerships are made and balance is sought between others and oneself. On the World scale Libra is between 400and 1100 AD, when division of the church and state took over, and the Dark Ages swept over Europe and Asia. The opposition is symbolic of the fact that in order to emerge from the unconscious, internal conflicts must be brought out into the light of day. Marriage was the primary process through which opposing countries where integrated into a whole. With the Moon in Libra we are aware of our communal relations, law, justice and balance. The 7th house (Libra) has been called the house of marriage. The key to the New Aeon of MA'AT is figuring out the new symbol for Libra, as the institution of marriage was originally designed as a tool by the Church to secure it's future domination. Those that cannot find this new symbol and perform these symbolic rites on themselves and their tribe, and the whole fabric of material being, will inherit only the blues, decay, and husks. Think more in terms of partnership and remember, your heart must be light as a feather. Take this time to be good to your Libra ruled kidneys. These amazing organs filter some 400-500 hundred gallons of blood a day. Lemons, beets, cranberry juice and cabbage and leafy vegetables are all healing to your kidneys. This Moon will translate the Full Pluto into immediate feeling, but action may be delayed until we get a handle on what’s happening and how it affects us. Come to Metaversal Lightcraft this evening and bask in the healing vibrations being put forth by some of the most talented musicians in the Bay Area. That's right, it is the weekly event we call "X-stasis" and this one promises to be another hummer dinger.....

Saturday July 5
The Day of Saturn in the kabbalistic World of Water, Briah. With the Full Pluto energy still strong, we reach the First Quarter Moon at 4:59 am/13°24' Libra-Cancer, giving us a week to clarify and express our responses to it. The Moon runs the gauntlet of the Cardinal planets, starting with Pluto and ending the day with an evening occultation (eclipse) of Mars. This brings a convergence of feeling (Moon) and action (Mars), and this is enough to open some situations where blockage has been a problem, over the coming week. In the chart cast for Washington DC, the nation’s direction for the coming week can be seen. The powerful Sun-Pluto opposition is embedded in this lunar event. Just as in our personal lives, it brings a culmination surrounding global conflict, and a general volatility is unleashed. This explosiveness can be channeled into transformations that bring about greater harmony (and that’s a possibility no matter how the change is played out). A situation with seeming boundaries has spilled over its margins. This is the case in Iraq and Syria, or Russia and Ukraine. There are other environments where this can occur, both personally and in the world. The First Quarter Moon’s Sabian Symbols are “In the heat of the noon, a man takes a siesta” (the Moon), and “a very old man facing a vast dark space to the northeast” (the Sun). Both of these images suggest a contemplative state, whether it is the fertile imagination that is unleashed during sleep, or the limitlessness of the heavens that fill us with wonder. This is a time when we can imbue our actions with meaning by going within, a way of hitting the refresh button on life. However, contemplation must be balanced with activation for it to be most effective at this point in the lunar cycle. It will not do well to sleep through (i.e., escape) the excitement.

Sunday July 6
Venus helps us see things more objectively, with even a touch of humor as it sextiles Uranus. A light-hearted approach may lead to the genius solution you’ve been looking for, the way out of a social dilemma.
The Moon goes void in Libra at 8:31 am (11:31 am ET), until it enters Scorpio at 12:34 pm PT, granting us a Sunday morning journey into timelessness. In Scorpio, we’ll feel drawn into deep contemplation, with nothing to motivate action since no planetary contacts are made. Cyclonic Banshee Satori is the new mantra we assign to you free of charge. You want one of the round thingies, too? A mandala? All we have left are the ones with Aztec Mermaids in Cowboy Hats Riding Turquoise Emus. Oh, you’ve already got one of those? Well, you’ll have to wait if you want the Hedge-Devas on Bumblebees. Next week, maybe.

Monday July 7
The Moon finally wakes us up when it makes contact in an array of harmonies that stimulate our imagination and ability to change. You know that moment of truth you had recently? You’re motivated to do something to activate that today. That’s Saturn’s sense of responsibility talking. Talkative Gemini Venus is connecting the dots there, completing a Saturn-Pluto yod that started July 3 (Thursday), and it may be difficult to avoid displeasing someone as you do what’s overall best. A challenge could come today due to a misunderstanding, as Venus also squares Chiron, so be discrete with your words and try not to rub salt in an existing wound.

The Metaversal July Astral Terrain Overview

Greetings Fellow Immortals! Congratulate yourselves, you have incarnated into the least boring period in human history. In July the two social planets, Jupiter and Saturn, who orbit between the inner and outer planets work, together to turn the Wheel of Fortune. On July 16 Jupiter enters Leo to stay until 11 August 2015 for the first time since 2002, starting a new 12-year cycle. Five days later on July 21, Saturn turns direct in Scorpio. Jupiter and Saturn form a pair of opposites, defined as the principles of expansion and contraction, faith and fear, enthusiasm and inhibition. When these two planets are supporting each other, Saturn will provide structure and shape to the vision and faith of Jupiter. Without Saturn, Jupiter would remain ungrounded and unrealistic, unable to manifest itself in the world. Without Jupiter, there would be no purpose or meaning to the structures created by Saturn. Jupiter is the entrepreneur with the vision, and Saturn is the ability to turn the vision into reality. We need both. In esoteric astrology, the Mysteries were presided over by Jupiter and Saturn as the Guardians. Everything seethes and churns in this region, but that's okay: it's all part of July, and soon you won't notice it anyway as you enter into your own state of turbulescent grace. Whatever calls you from outside the curtain can wait. You're here now, and ready at last to open your eyes. When you do, you'll see that Time is a soft jagged wave moving through you and Space is a malleable domain sculpted by perception. Rest assured: the voluptuous terror you feel swiftly gives way to splendour. Suddenly you will be more awake than you've been since retiring from the womb. The secret phenomenological truth, encrypted against
corruption at your birth but now transmitted lucidly across every synapse, is that the World is determined by
imaginative volition. How much love can one being express? Now that this has been revealed, your purpose is clear. You might as
well get used to it: YOU ARE A GLORIOUS NEW REALITY! In the birth chart, Jupiter is the key to spiritual purpose. His House placement reveals the way to the fusion of information into wisdom. Along with the North Node of Fate, Jupiter points to our life purpose. Key words for Jupiter are: good judgment, expansion, religion, philosophy, good fortune, rewards. Jupiter is a Yang planet, so in Leo, a fiery Yang sign, overdoing, over optimism or pouring petrol on flames are the shadow manifestations. As is religious fanaticism, terrorism and black-and-white “I am right and you are wrong” thinking.
Since April and through the summer solstice we’ve been going through a major untangling from the tendrils of our past,
to begin to reclaim our supporting soul aspects. The New Moon in Cancer, the Full Moon in Capricorn and Jupiter’s
entry into Leo have all the resonance of renewal. Aren’t you beginning to notice your creative engines refuelling and
recharging after six months of inner work through the cascade of retrogrades? From mid-July, as Jupiter enters fiery Fixed sign Leo and Saturn turns forward, we will have so much to restructure in support of our newfound capacities that the next six months between the Summer and Winter Solstice will buzz. Ideas, projects, dreams and visions we left by the wayside will tug at your heartstrings again. New connections and opportunities will appear out of nowhere that in reality we’ve been creating from the deep structure causative level since 2011 through the tsunamis of change. The way to make headway out of all the void slumps is to deliberately amplify the soul qualities of Jupiter in Leo by being playful, childlike, pure and creative. Then the mastery of our newfound flow will allow us to accept and inhabit the role of teacher, mentor, coach and model. We are all teachers now. The phrase “you learn what you teach” has special resonance in this yearlong transit—the very opposite of “teach what you know.”n July, emotions run high as we learn how events so far this year have made us feel. We can’t escape the feelings we have when we come in contact with Cancer’s watery depths, and this time there’s a lot more than usual to process. We’re still getting over Mars’s retrograde, and we’re still trying to squeeze as much joy out of Jupiter as we can before it leaves this sign on
the July 16. So much remains to be accomplished. We feel frustrated by lack of progress, although June brought some relief, a proof that Mercury’s retrograde often furthers our plans. On July 1, when it returns to forward motion, we stand ready to move fully into the next three months, when we will establish in our life the deeper level of fulfillment and the stronger sense of belonging that we’ve been gestating in recent months and years. There is a distinct rhythm to the interplay of the planets in July. The inner planetary order has shifted: Now the Sun holds the vanguard in braving the Cardinal battleground (July 4–18), followed by Mercury (July 21–28), and then Venus (July 27–31). The whole game changes and new forms settle into place once Mars enters Scorpio on July 25. Mars in Scorpio is strong and decisive, based on emotional drive. Our challenge is to temper this instinctual power with wisdom. The changes we’ve been working so hard on will come into form more firmly now. Things settle into place and find a home in the visible world. The String of Pearls is formed again, at 13–17° as the outer bodies hang at these degrees, apparently motionless in the process of changing direction. Participating in this pattern are (in degree order):
Pluto (13 Capricorn), Saturn (16 Scorpio), Chiron (16 Pisces), and Uranus (16 Aries). When the Moon, Sun, Venus, and
Mercury reach these degrees, a cascade of related events is inaugurated, with just enough sugar and spice to get us to
the other side of some long-standing obstacles, particularly those that have been blocking relationship harmony.
Knowing the tendencies of Water will help us through this time. Water’s movement is downward, and that’s the way our
energy and mood go with Water—downward and inward to reveal what is hidden. Water is flexible and takes the shape of
what holds it. If Water is pure e-motion (energy in motion), what it becomes for us depends greatly on how we shape it
with our thoughts. Shaping our thoughts around a belief in what is helpful (rather than what is debatably “true”) gets
the best results. Finally, Water is highly empathic. It carries the slightest whisper of movement or influence, albeit
with distortions that allow us to see what’s swaying us, in magnified form. Since Water has no sense of time, what we
feel seems like it will last forever, however much we remind ourselves that feelings change as quickly as the clouds in
the sky. If we can keep a toehold in our eternal center, our True Self, our emotions become waves lapping on the
shore—they do not overtake us.
