Well, happy July 4th, everyone! If you are in America, then today is a special day! July 4th is the day that our forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence and declared our freedom from British rule. I went into the USA’s Solar return (annual birthday chart) in a recent newsletter. If you missed it, you can check it out here and read about the themes for the USA’s next solar year. Fascinating stuff, really!
I hope that you all had a great holiday weekend and have a great July 4th today!
My own family and I celebrated a little bit over the weekend by eating watermelon, hot dogs, and potato chips. I know, we are real party animals! We do have a few fireworks to set off with the kids today, so it’s going to get even more fun! In North Carolina, where we live, there is not much danger of fire from fireworks, since it rains almost every day in the summer. We get summer storms that roll in in the afternoon, cool you off, and kindly water your garden. It should be lots of fun this evening!
Today is a day to use caution when handling fireworks or anything that has a flame, though. I said this in the 5-day forecast and I’m going to say it again, use caution! Don’t worry, we will be prepared with the necessary precautions when we have our firework fun today.
The Moon will be making many aspects today, but I feel that the most important is the Square to Venus in the morning, followed by a trine to Uranus by late tonight.
With the Moon being in Virgo today we are going to feel motivated to clean up our homes, wash our dishes, and fold the laundry—my favorite kind of energy for Mondays because this is the day that we do our, Weekly Home Blessing, which is a Fly Lady term that basically encompasses re-setting your house from the weekend. I love the Virgo energy for cleaning! It really gives me the drive and desire to tidy up my space. Over the weekend, during the Moon in Leo, I had no desire or motivation to clean at all, I just wanted to lounge in a hammock and eat, LOL!
So, with this Moon in Virgo squaring Venus in Gemini, we will be feeling a lot of Mercury-ruled energy. This could motivate us to clean and tidy up, but also to get our message out and communicate, write, or talk to people. This could be great energy for a board game or working on a word poem! (The word poem, list #3, is due on the Full Moon on July 13, 2022, just as a friendly reminder).
By this evening, there could be some unexpected feelings spilling out. With the trine from the Moon in Virgo to Uranus in Taurus, this could be great harmonizing energy of the mind and the senses—you could have a sudden flash of sensual inspiration! Maybe you start sewing a project or clean up your sewing nook? Maybe you decide to take a bath and while in the bath you write your poem? Maybe while cleaning up your room this evening you find a pair of earrings you’ve been looking for? Who knows exactly how this energy will manifest for you, but be open to what the Universe shows you and maybe you’ll catch a glimpse of it tonight.
Let’s pick a card for the day:
Son of Discs
A young archer points their arrow at a target in the forest.
This card signifies one who is gaining mastery over the physical form through sport and exercise. As the card for today, I feel it is symbolic of being active, setting a goal for the day, and physically doing what it takes to achieve it. It is a reminder to take physical action on the goals that we are aiming for today.
I hope you have a great day! And remember to use caution when setting off fireworks…
Until tomorrow,
AstroMommy
