Hi all,

Welcome to this month's episode of Stars and Cards where we look at the Astro and Tarot links, invitations and support for a more intuitive Cancer Season.

Below are the Astro and Tarot notes that are mentioned in this episode but before we get to them we want to take a minute to acknowledge that our healing work is always both personal and collective. We know there are so many systems at play that can make our homecoming paths extremely difficult to access.

We know the folks who find themselves here are highly sensitives, empaths, intuitives, healers and space holders and so feel it all. Feeling and thinking is best alchemised through action so a reminder that our personal care is not selfish and our collective contributions are never too small. It all really matters.

Astrology:

Key Events:

• Sun enters Leo the day after the Full Moon in Cap (blue moon) occurs.

• With Venus also in Leo, and Mercury for a few days more (until July 25), and with Mars in Gemini, and also given it’s the disseminating phase of the moon (3rd quarter)

• Mercury enters Virgo on July 25th, 2 days before the 4th quarter phase of the moon begins.

• Aug 4th with the New Moon Moon in Leo, kicking off a new lunar cycle, the same day as Venus enters Virgo.

• Virgo-Pisces opposition in the sky as both Venus and Mercury in Virgo oppose retrograde Saturn and retrograde Neptune. Mercury is also retrograde for this part of Leo Season (goes retro on Aug 5th)

• That last week of Leo Season (Aug 14-22) likely be emotionally activating for everyone, especially the Fixed Signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) with August 19th being most intense.

• Aug 14th, Mercury retrograde re-enters Leo and Mars and Jupiter make a conjunction- there could be a lot of big feels on this day especially related to pent up anger

• Aug 16, more anger-flaring energies as Mars and retro Saturn square

• Aug 18, impulsivity could make us say the wrong thing we can’t take back

• Aug 19, the Full moon in Aquarius which includes a slew of activating energies full of tension and conflict

  • Venus-Jupiter square

  • Venus-Saturn Rx opposition
