Mars Ingress Cancer
We get a Yin/feminine Water Sign in the mix with Mars ‘coming home’ to shift the Yang/masculine monopolized energies in the sky. This is a strong shift to the qualities of current Saturn and Neptune in Aries (ruled by Mars).
Lots to feel and history connections, related to our actions, +/or spurring us onto action.
/
What feelings issues are ramping up with you?

More on Venus : Aspects & Patterns :: Grand Trines?
Venus moving into Libra brings a temporary 'cornerstone'? or a kiss to the current Yang Signs' aspects.
How are your social skills ramping up?
What about social activities around you?
/
Double Grand Trine, Star of David, call it what you will, depending on how generous your orbs are... regardless, many aspects are lighting up the sky--still, starting with "the big 4s (Uranus currently at 5 degrees Gemini.)
/
Note
If you have planets in early to mid Sagittarius, you will be in the flow, one way or another, be it observations, or participation.
/
Extra credit:
Watch how the social planets move to activate (aspect) lynch pins. So too the transcendental planets start to move to higher degrees, oh so slowly, then after their retrogrades, begin to effect higher frequencies/degrees.
Thus greater radical activities, especially Jupiter and Pluto at 15 of the fixed Signs, Leo and Aquarius respectively.

Louisa on Venus Ingress Libra
Venus shifts to be in charge of itself in Libra (self "dispositor") = we focus more on desires and magnetically attract our wants and needs--make nice for beauty to enter. Read the body language, strategize, listen with mouth closed, and maybe listen to wonderfully positive Louisa share her knowledge:

Extra credit:
Perfect Balance, status quo, harmony... no such thing, as the pendulum easily moves pest the perfect point of equilibrium, fret not, note what is too much, or too little... take steps to swing back the other way for a closer point of balance, or blending.
i.e. ready to go back the other way, when "X" is too much, or not enough.
What is 'good' maybe too much of a good thing & isn't healthy. Appreciate what is currently 'good', appreciate the current, know it will shift in time, ...or what is 'bad', and know that this too shall change in time. Thus, the skill to appreciate the 'good' cycles feel that much better from living the ‘bad’. What do your Libra energies enjoy, head that way with a sense of balance for better ‘perfect aim’ results.
Who, What, Where, When, & How is Venus in Libra your balancing point?

Venus enters her home sign of Libra today, inviting us into a month...

Looking in on Mercury for August, Mars Ingress Cancer

Mercury is still in shadow and will oppose the US natal Pluto shortly after leaving its shadow... What has been mis-reported, mis-interpreted, and incorrect data, will start to come out, even from the leaders, and others in the limelight. Once Mercury enters *Leo and begins to pick up speed and moxie, it might be hard to start talking. Positives, It sure sounds good!
/

===========================================
Double down on FUN:

/
Mercury Opposite Pluto
Tuesday, August 11 – 6:19pm (PST)
Mental intensity. Troubled mind. Passive-aggressive argument. Persuasive speech. Craftiness. Strategy. Paranoia?!
/
Mercury Trine Neptune
Tuesday, August 11 – 8:38pm (PST)
The use of imagination. Accurate intuitive thinking. Appreciation of subtleties. Artistic appreciation. Vision.
/
-Mercury Sextile Uranus
Wednesday, August 12 – 1:47pm (PST)
-Intensity of mind. Experimental attitude. Expression of radical or unusual viewpoints. Technical interest. Inventiveness.
-This will really charge up Mercury with plenty of communications for Jupiter to expand on. How much expansion?
===========================================
Then Mercury trines Saturn, August 17, with plenty of building block ideas to formulate.
===========================================
*Extra FUN in Cancer:
Cancer not alone:
Mars revisiting Cancer August ~11, last retrograde in Cancer/Leo: December 6, 2024, to February 23, 2025.
The US has several planets in Cancer.
-Mars Enters Cancer - Time to fight for people or causes about which you feel strongly. Protect your family. When personally hurt, you retreat into your shell rather than lash out.
===========================================
===========================================
Note, above ~personal descriptions are for ways to look at your life and possible actions. The outer planets have deep, long lasting complex effects which surface over time. Although you can watch for patterns and world events to come up with your own theories. Everyone has an answer, what rings true for you?

Rob Brezsny's Free Will Astrology
His substack newsletter has free weekly horoscopes.
(towards the end of his post, the beginning is full of positive thought creativity nuggets.)
/
Rob is extremely well read and constantly quoting fascinating people, cultures, etc. He may be the most unusual writer you'll ever read.
Very possitive and entertaining, AND real astrology advice, or should I say clues that parallel and can be catalytic to current focus.

https://substack.com/

Many scientists deride astrology as being a "pseudoscience." In making such a fallacious claim, they reveal they have shunned the most basic principle of science, which is to actually investigate the subject they aspire to understand.

If they took the trouble to do research, they would have discovered that Western astrology's best practitioners don't claim that astrology is a science—which means that it can't be a pseudoscience!

The lyrical and practical truth is that astrology is a blend of psychology, storytelling, and mythology. As Carl Jung said, it's an aid in understanding and articulating how the psyche works. Like any language, it's both logical and messy; it's useful in making sense of the world, yet full of crazy-making ambiguities.

Astrology is a symbol system that, when used with integrity, engenders soulful approaches for deepening our connection to life's great mysteries—not predictions of literal events. It liberates and fertilizes our imaginations and encourages us to think less literally. It teaches us to visualize our destinies as mythic quests and deepens our connection to life's gorgeous mysteries.

Psychologist James Hillman spoke of the joyous work of learning our soul's code—the blueprint of our destiny. That's what astrology does best. To imagine that this can be done in a scientific way is irrelevant and delusional.

ASTROLOGY IS NOT A SCIENCE! Nor is storytelling, depth psychology, mythology, dream interpretation, or poetry.

It makes as much sense to criticize astrology for not being scientific as it does to deride Joseph Campbell treatises on the world's mythic traditions or Ursula K. Le Guin's science fiction novels because they don't explicate and illustrate the quantum field theory of physics.

The scientific method is a wonderful method for achieving some understanding of the world. But we can't use it to analyze the Indigenous Bororo people's myth, "The Bird-Nester's Aria." It's not a reliable strategy for uncovering deep truths about how a Beethoven symphony might alter the way we think about a problem we're having at work.

We profoundly need the scientific method and logical deduction and objective perceptions. They are crucial to being human. But we also need mythopoetic storytelling and art that moves us emotionally in mysterious ways and playful fun that frees us from our fixations.

Does it make sense to say that analyzing and working on dreams is "pseudoscience"? Of course not. You can't design a repeatable experiment to test your hypothesis about those slippery marvels. And yet, working with one's dreams, analyzing them to find subconscious patterns that affect our behavior, can be intensely practical.

Astrology is not designed to compete with scientists' logical analyses of why things are the way they are. Rather, it's meant to open our minds to the mythic elements that underlie the surface-level interpretations of what we're all about.

I can't imagine any intelligent person who would believe that the scientific way of knowing is better and more important than the mythopoetic—or vice versa.

Jupiter, last to join the party of slower moving planets in Yang Signs...

as it had to, being the *quickest outer planet and not passing up anybody before the "4" degree active point/2nd duad.

*(not a "personal planet"-Mars on inward)

/

Although last to the party, Jupiter now gives us

**"translation of light" - catching up at 4 degrees to aspect: (fastest to slowest) Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

(Thus perfecting Chiron’s bow with Chiron midpoint and focusing on early Scorpio degrees. Other’s financial control just might be slipping. )

/

**some only use Translation of Light with the Luminaries- Sun & Moon aspecting from one planet to other, and only if: Before any other perfected aspects.

But I get eclectic in my astro style and apparently so does CR... although with deeper research, maybe this is another old school style/valid/etc., lets not argue the point.

At the very least, Jupiter be 'touching base' with the outer powerful, in quick succession, receiving and passing on energies like never before-at "4".

/

What to do with this information - maybe a quiet mind to connect with your inner self and/or what is/are the main focus points in your current life?

/

Here CR gives us the lowdown in his style: defining, history, mythology, then by Sign activation for clues to your chart(s).

Yay Christopher!
