Astrology in July 2016 – Full Speed Ahead to the Full Moon at 28 Cancer-Capricorn

by Robert Wilkinson

Can you feel the momentum of Mars direct? We are riding an extraordinary wave of great energy at this time, with a tremendous amount able to be accomplished!

Mars will continue to pick up speed over the next few weeks, so what was slow or stuck should be moving, with momentum building. As it picks up speed at this time, it will help those of us with planets or angles in the last ten degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo advance what we need to in those life areas. As you can see, there’s a whole lot that can be accomplished right now!

There are special gifts and circumstances for those with planets or angles near 5-9 Aquarius, 17-21 Aries, 29 Gemini-3 Cancer, 11-15 Virgo, 23-27 Scorpio. Obviously there are major changes going on for anyone with planets around 23-27 Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius!

Right now, we’re moving into an exact Sun square Uranus and Sun trine Mars. These are both extremely powerful aspects, and when wisely used, can cut through obstacles to cut away from the known and familiar, or routines that no longer serve our need. These two together generate a LOT of active creativity and “breakaway into individuality” type of energy!

We can use the harmony, understanding, momentum, and/or stable expression of Sun trine Mars in Water signs to facilitate a flow. As per the void in Pisces being the resonant point in the trine, it would seem this is an extraordinary time to quicken our purification, casting out procrastination, doubt, hesitancy, and ambivalence. This trine at 25 Cancer to 25 Scorpio is a harmonic between accepting grace or a “mantle of power,” and an ability to see through the form of things and understand what works and doesn’t work in the structure underlying the form.

Sun square Uranus are points in the year where the individualizing and revolutionizing power of Uranus is at odds with the Solar force, generating all kinds of magnetic field disturbances. Given the signs involved, this one will help us see through endings into natural cycles at work, and find an ability to be comfortable as we walk our path to greater awareness, whatever that means to each. What is your heart’s desire? Be wholehearted in doing whatever you need to do to express your higher individuality! (And if you don’t know what that is, this is a great time to find out!)

The energetics in this field show the trine as stabilizing and harmonizing a certain type of flow that can be released in unique and/or revolutionary ways via Uranus at 25 Aries. There are promises to be redeemed, and much depends on the attitude and expectations we have about what we can and cannot receive. Focus your energy and get your expectations in line with your highest mental ideal. The quality of your thought-form will yield expectable results in 2017.

At this time we also have a very beneficial Mercury conjunct Venus in early Leo with both trine Saturn. This is an extraordinarily favorable set of conditions, and provides solid balanced inspiration and creativity to all who are receptive. While this primarily affects those with planets or angles 2-13 Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius (again, a HUGE number of people!), it really affects us all wherever these sectors fall in our charts.

So it seems it’s an extraordinarily benevolent time for the next week or so! Get it in gear, get it done, and by all means get it on! Meetings should be excellent, with inspiration, electricity, and connectedness in the air.

Of major significance! Pay very close attention to what goes on this weekend (July 15, 16, 17) since the Moon in Sagittarius is helping future Saturn seeds to begin sprouting. This is the final Moon in Sagittarius conjunct Saturn in Sagittarius before Mars enters Sagittarius and a new energy comes forth. The next Moon in Sag on August 11-13 will trigger a conjunction with Mars in Sag, collecting the light of the coming Mars conjunct Sag which launches a new 2+ year cycle in motion. This one gives substance to the future!

On a final note for now, yes, there’s a lot of sturm und drang in the air right now, and tensions are escalating all over the world. What is going on this weekend and beyond is of course only part of the larger atmosphere, both good and bad. I’ll explain more in the coming Full Moon articles. For now, take advantage of the favorable energy that could help you get a lot done and even more inspiration take shape if you let it flow! Be the Light in the darkness, and be the creative heart as we move into a greater Leo energy these next few weeks.

Yes, there seems to be a lot of sturm und drang and that could be a face of the high energies available that are also there to activate so many areas and things at this time. Thank you for pointing it out so timely!

Blessings be to all,

Thank you, Robert. I'm feeling the sturm und drang with much intensity. (Sun is on natal Pluto today!) Your post is a brilliant ray of sunshine in the dark clouds, a great reminder for all of us to never lose sight of our reasons for being here on this plane. Blessings for all.

"Right now, we’re moving into an exact Sun square Uranus and Sun trine Mars", maybe Saturn square Jupiter too? - I guess, it's quite proper expression of the energy what's happening last 24 hours in Europe. Last night in France the lunatic who killed 84 and injured more than 100 people. Tonight the military in Turkey announced takeover...the world is getting crazy.
Last months is never ending story. It's constant grief, either in US or in Europe. 2016 seems to be an ending year, filled with storms and changes. Somehow it reminds me of 1986 when we have many disasters.

So my chart, for various reasons, is being lit up like an xmas tree. I've certainly been having a good deal of revelations relating to some the houses coming into play... but, could use a dose of favorable, specialized gifts and circumstances...

Hi all - thanks for checking in. I'm sure the article about the Full Moon helps flesh out a lot of this. Phase shift happening.
