The Last Quarter Moon is in Taurus, square (90 degrees) the Sun in Leo. Taurus is ruled by Venus. Venus currently is in Leo having fun.
At this Last Quarter Moon, the Sun, Venus, and South Lunar Node are in Leo, with Mercury entering Leo on Saturday, July 26. This is the setup of the planets for the coming Solar Eclipse on August 1. This is a stellium in Leo with a square to Moon in Taurus, which is considerable FIXED energy. We are getting an Eclipse preview: the way things are going, is the way things are going.
Sun in Leo with Moon in Taurus is a time we like to show off our stuff. If you’re proud of your possessions, you may want to flaunt them proudly.
Taurus and Leo are fixed signs, they hold on to what they’ve got. Yet, if we are focused on holding on too tight to what we have, we may be in great resistance to our higher self or too inflexible to live our true life purpose. We’d rather have an expensive item that symbolizes our value. We want others to know: we are someone special. Does it give you real confidence, or does it work on a superficial level that still doesn’t give you the true inner KNOWING– you have value.
How do the material things you want and feel you need reflect your authentic Self? To get all the things you want now, you will have to be financially resourceful and clear about your priorities. It’s not that shopping for personal adornments can’t lift your spirits or that acquiring possession won’t further your soul’s growth. But if you are acquiring pricey things to appear affluent and impress others, you can find yourself dissatisfied with all your things. What are your priorities? Is your ego in charge of your chargecard? And does that really give you satisfaction? Mick, a Leo, was right! You may be able to afford everything you want, yet get no satisfaction. You mean you really can’t buy me love? Yet, with a clear sense of priorities, you can make sound business purchases now.
Before you can enjoy the company of others, and feel proud of your accomplishments, the first step is… loving yourself, valuing yourself, appreciating you! If that seems selfish, appreciating another person is not even possible. So if your beliefs tell you that self-appreciation is arrogant and selfish, you are never going to be able to appreciate others, you will send them resentment vibes, and wonder, what’s wrong with them? What’s wrong with them is you not loving the absolutely fabulous extraordinary YOU! What if waiting for others to give you love before you gave love was actually selfish. And initiating love by feeling it within yourself first was the truly selfless love that others can feel, instantly. Spirit has no time/space boundaries.
On this Last Quarter Moon, with Sun in Leo and Moon in Taurus, you can find yourself out of alignment if you bypass true self-appreciation by substituting ego for self-love. If you want to love others and you want to be loved, demanding love is being in illusion about love. We have the illusion that without being loved, we are nothing. Many of us think that to love and be loved in return, you must first fulfill another person’s needs, and then you can feel good about yourself. But if you can’t fulfill their every need, you lose self-worth. But what if that person can’t give you something you want? Is that the end of love? What if you had to give yourself the love first, what if love starts within, within your own self. And what you are demanding from others can only be given to you by your own connection to your higher source or spirit. We all have a direct connection to our higher Source, and connecting to that is what gives us the feeling of love. Not what you think you can “get” from another person, which is the ego wanting whatever yummy candy will be most tasty, for the moment. But what happens after the lollipop is gone? Perhaps we are looking for the wrong source for love. YOU are your own source of love. YOU can experience love, and start to live in a REALITY that is based on your own authentic connection to love.
At this Last Quarter Moon, the Moon is in a (separating) square to Mercury in the last degrees of Cancer. This makes it a challenge to integrate your feelings with your speech. It will help to think about what you’re about to say before you speak, although emotions can have a big influence on what you choose to say. Be sure you’re not talking to spread gossip because casually spreading unjust criticism can come back in ways that point out your own errors. Talking about other people can be a way of displacing or covering our real emotions instead of being honestly yourself. But this educates us further about who we are and how we can spread higher consciousness not only universally, but personally. And don’t forget how exciting it can be to share your dreams and sense of magic. We are all fractals, each of us illuminating the individual beauty that makes the cosmic whole.
Ongoing Astrology Note: Chiron and Neptune are both in the 3rd decanate of Aquarius. And they will continue to travel together for the next few years, culminating in an exact conjunction in February 2010. You can read what I wrote about this long-term Chiron-Neptune conjunction on artcharts.
