July 3 through July 10, 2023

 

The weekend includes the full super-Moon July 3, so be careful! The Full Buck Moon, when the new antlers of buck deer push out from their foreheads in coatings of velvety fur. It was also often called the Full Thunder Moon, thunderstorms being now most frequent. Sometimes also called the Full Hay Moon. Full Moon in the signs of Capricorn and Cancer, who will feel it the most with impulsive changes, as will Libra and Aries. The areas of the body for this full Moon are the knees, bones, skin, breasts and stomach. Taurus and Virgo may help Capricorn, with Scorpio and Pisces helping Cancer.

• July 4: Moon goes into friendly Aquarius, with friends joining the festivities. Have fun, although there may be mild control issues over who manages what, and as usual friendly cooperation brings success. Cancer and Leo are strong, meaning emphasis on both family fun and celebrity activities.
• July 5: Moon still in Aquarius, indicating crowds, or many returning home, creating crowds in airports and highways. Otherwise astrologically quiet. National bikini day. (I was the first to wear one on Chesapeake Bay many years ago.)
• July 6: see-saw or quincunx day when things do not go as expected, asking you to accommodate change, maybe because of the weather. If Leo and Pisces interact, they do not understand each other. Leo may be helped by Aries and Sagittarius, with Pisces helped by Cancer and Scorpio. Moon goes into creative and dreamy Pisces, aggravating the misunderstanding between Leo and Pisces, but bringing creativity to the day.
• July 7: opportunity for good communication or news about money, homes, family and agriculture. Good communication between Cancer, Taurus and Pisces.
• July 8: be a kid again day. This is revealed by Mars and Venus both in Leo, the sign of children and in Leo all month, so you can be a kid every day. Moon goes into Aries, adding to the youthful atmosphere, along with “hurry up.”
• July 9: quarter Moon in the signs of Aries and Cancer, who experience the most impulsive interruptions, followed by Libra and Capricorn. Remember these signs enjoy challenges and interruptions. However, if needed, Leo and Sagittarius may help Aries, with Scorpio and Pisces helping Cancer. Also today, impasse in a plan to fix infrastructure or a plan to transform what is considered a stable and secure entity because of high expense. This could be intense and stubborn. Personally, Leo and Capricorn stuck because of high expense and rigid budget. Aries and Sagittarius may help Leo, with Virgo and Taurus helping Capricorn.
• July 10: Mars goes into Virgo through August 27. Time for Virgo to stop procrastinating and begin their practical, detailed projects. Good month for Virgo, Taurus and Capricorn. Cancer and Scorpio may receive opportunities to be included in Virgo’s projects. Pisces believes they are opposed, when they are only asked to be practical and have facts with detail. Leo and Libra are neutral, Gemini and Sagittarius irritated or even slowed because of the necessity for detailed reports. Aries and Aquarius adjust to the dreaded practical detail. Today Mars is in harmony with the north and south nodes, meaning Mars helps to balance finances, and a harmonious day for Virgo, Scorpio and Taurus.

USA

The same as last week except for the quarter Moon on July 9, which activates the Cluster of Cancer planets. This means changing activity regarding allies, laws and the budget. Since it is a quarter Moon, the challenges may not be settled July 9, going to July 10 when the indications are for calm, practical process.

There is a wonderful transit phase beginning June 8, through and including July 23, indicating the chance of cooperation between the idealistic and the practical realistic to transform finances for the good of the country. Much of this may be accomplished behind the scenes and not in the news until getting to the House Floor. This phase is in effect all of June, July and half of August this year of 2023. Then more is worked on, to be visible around March 22, 2024, again October 2024, through January of 2025. Let us hope this does continue. (We who study the Cayce readings know the first lesson in the spiritual development encouraged by the readings is Cooperation. Let us continue!).

The major, outer, planetary relationships with the USA chart are good through 2024, meaning there should be no calamities. However, transiting Pluto will continue to finish the transformation of what we perceive as secure entities, such as those apartment buildings falling apart, unsafe bridges, banks and corporations reaping consequences of insecure practices, which will get fixed by the end of 2024.

Another quiet phase begins June 21, indicating stress over the budget, trying to balance the income and expenses. Re-focuses November 26, with the phase ending Feb. 23, 2024.

Insight

This is the weekend and time for America’s July 4, the day celebrating freedom from England’s rule. How can we be free? Americans are freer than many other countries. What I am talking about, though, is personal freedom from what is holding us back, which is usually fear. When I finished the Course in Miracles years ago, I realized it came down to: “If I am not experiencing Love, what am I afraid of”? I taped it on my bathroom mirror for some time until I now ask myself that every time I am irritated with something and was and am amazed at how helpful that is. Try it.

 By request, I am back on Facebook as Paty Finlayson. It I still being put together, though, and will be filled in gradually. Your friendship is valued, so feel free to add me as a friend. Promise no spam, politics or ads. Will post, though, when your weekly forecast is posted on blogspot. Also, your suggestions for future events and classes are welcome. Email me with them.
