Astrology for July 5, 2016

Astro Vibrational Tapestry Report

Tuesday, July 5, 2016 - 

The moon remains in Cancer for the first half of the day, this has us feeling sensitive, emotional and not afraid to express some of these feelings. Since it is the evening of July the 4th, I imagine many people will be up past mid-night. The first aspect of the day peaks at 12:24 AM and is when the Cancer moon comes to a trine with Mars in Scorpio. This is fun or exciting energy. Often times I will tell people to do something active with a moon/Mars aspect. Lighting off fireworks which I know lots of people will be, kind of reminds me of moon trine Mars. Not being afraid to create a ruckus, or being in a bit of a wound up mood. 

The following aspect is when the moon comes to a square with Uranus in Aries at 2:29 AM. This is not a great aspect for sleeping either! If you wind up not sleeping much tonight, do not be surprised. Uranus gives some inspiration to live in the very moment you are in, so try to live in that moment, as peacefully and calmly as possible. This might not sound so moon-trine-Mars-then-square-Uranus... So channeling this energy in the highest way possible is through doing something inspiring instead of crazy or reckless. Live on the zen side and knock this one out ;)

Thankfully these aspects do not last long and hopefully we can get some sleep after burning off some of that energy! After this the moon goes into her void-of-course phase until the afternoon. The famous astrologer William Lily said that the moon void-of-course in Cancer "performith somewhat" – so maybe we will rest until the morning when the birds chirp and we have to get back to work and reality after the holiday!

In the early hours of daylight at 8:19 AM Mercury in Cancer comes to a trine with Neptune in Pisces. The energy of these two planets might not feel so on point this morning. You might be talking into your shoe (mistaking it for your cell phone) or pouring the coffee in the dogs bowl by mistake. Try not to be too “fuzzy” especially if you were out partying it up last night! This morning we might not feel as bright as we usually do, but we don't feel bad either... Fuzzy or spacey might be good words for the vibe of the morning! Have some coffee, better yet espresso! … Mental note stop for coffee on Tuesday morning ;)

The last thing today is when the moon finally ingresses into the sign of Leo, this happens at 12:28 PM. Let your inner actor or actress come out and play during the Leo moon. Sometimes Leo energy can be shy, so if you are feeling that way – open your arms to the moon and ask for the Leo energy to animate and liven your soul! Leo moon is a great time to express your feelings for someone else, be romantic or be the star of your own show – your life! Live it up under the Leo moon because she moves into Virgo on Thursday evening!

The gemstone suggestion for today is Lepidolite. Lepidolite will help us feel calmer during the early hours of the morning, we might need some of that. Holding onto the stone rather than just having it next to you is best. Lepidolite has trace minerals that transfer into your body when you hold it, that actually calm you down.

The essential oil suggestion for today is Sweet Fennel. Sweet Fennel connects with the energies of Mercury and will help us feel less cloudy this morning under the Mercury Neptune trine. It helps with improving memory and has a fresh and spicy scent. If you grow it, you can add it to your tea too, for a licorice taste.

All times are in Eastern US Time.

Namaste & until tomorrow!
