You
Who are the source of all power,
Whose rays illuminate the world,
Illuminate also my heart
So that it too can do Your work.

Neptune Stations Retrograde early this morning! This is Neptune's first full retrograde in Aries for our lifetimes. I'm glad to have Neptune retrograde. I sense that we all need to slow down and integrate this very different and intense energy. Neptune stations retrograde every year for about 6 months. Neptune will retrograde back to 1*36' of Aries. We feel Neptune's Station for around 5 days before and 5 days after its station. This week is weird and wonky. It can feel like the fog is being lifted.
We enter the 4th Quarter phase of the Moon this afternoon. The Moon is waning, decreasing in light, asking us to spend more time in reflection, contemplation, and to turn inward. This is a great time to ramp up protection work.
The Moon is building up to a conjunction with Saturn this afternoon, so we are feeling this conjunction building all day. Don't let stress get the best of you! Today can feel straining and restricting. Deep breaths! This is an integrity checkpoint; the Universe is delivering wrist slaps for bad behavior!
It's a Martian day, as we have Neptune Stationing Rx in Aries and the Moon in Aries, ruled by Mars! Mars is currently in Gemini, uncovering important information. Pay close attention to what information you receive.
Mercury is retrograde.
Slow down, review, revise, and revisit the past 3 months. This is an extremely nostalgic and sensitive time. Be gentle with yourself and others. We are communicating from a sensitive place. Cry, sleep, make soups, and focus on home and family dynamics.
We are now getting messages and information that we will be working with over the Mercury Rx. Mercury always gives a warning before causing problems, so if we're paying attention, we can act before the Mercury Rx snafus trip us up! We get flat tires, broken-down vehicles, broken appliances, or communication fallouts when we ignore the warning signs trying to get our attention.
This retrograde is a sensitive one. All the Mercury Rx's this year are in the Water signs. This one is tender, nostalgic, sentimental, sensitive, emotional, instinctual, and self-protective.
We are being asked to do all the re- words: review, revise, revisit, restore, rejuvenate. Mercury Rx asks us to slow down. We trip up when we are trying to rush through this time. When we dance with the planets, life has more flow, ease, and wonder! Mercury Stations Retrograde on 6/29-7/23. Mercury will remain in its post-retrograde shadow until 8/6! Mercury will finally leave Cancer on 8/9.
The Nodes of Fate shift into Leo-Aquarius in July! These are the signs where the Eclispes will take place over the next 18 months(we do have two out-of-sign eclipses in Virgo-Pisces to wrap up). Jupiter and the South Node will be in Leo. Pluto and the North Node are in Aquarius! Think back to 5/2017-11/2018. This was the reversal of this energy. The last time that we had this exact Eclipse cycle was 12/2007-8/2009! Themes from this time are back up for review. Of course, they are amplified exponentially due to Jupiter and Pluto's presence!
The Moon is in Aries; the Moon in Aries is active, direct, spontaneous, initiating, self-assertive, energetic, naive, "me first," ardent, and a leader.
The Moon in Aries is answering to Mars in Gemini.
Neptune Stations Retrograde in Aries at 6:55 am; the fog is clearing, and finally we get to see what Neptune has been up to! Neptune is the planet of delusion, illusion, fantasy, and spirituality. Neptune in Aries is answering to Mars, so Neptune has been working overtime in its influence and dials back now. Neptune retrogrades for 6 months each year, like all the other outer planets. We get the opportunity to go back over the territory that Neptune has covered so far this year for a thorough review. As the Neptunian fog clears, we see what's really been going on in our lives.
Moon in Aries conjuncts Saturn in Aries at 1:15 pm; we feel this aspect building all day today. We are feeling weighted down, emotionally squeezed, stressed, frustrated, or strained today. The key is to use this energy to get work done, tend to responsibilities, and remain true to your integrity. If we have behaved badly, this aspect comes in as a harsh karmic checkpoint.
Moon in Aries squares the Sun in Cancer at 3:29 pm; we enter the 4th Quarter phase of the Moon now. The Moon is decreasing in light, spending more time in contemplation, reflection, and encouraging us to get more rest and relaxation. Waning Moons are an ideal time for energy clearing, cleaning, and protection work. We are more susceptible to unsavory energies during waning Moons, so be sure to scan the room, trust your intuition, practice good boundaries, and spiritual hygiene.
Create a sacred sleep space before going to bed tonight.
Moon in Aries squares Mercury Rx in Cancer at 5:25 am 7/8; our dreams are active and delivering important information to us this morning. Pay attention to your dreams and omens. Important information is being revealed.

Squirrel- Gathering
If Squirrel has scurried into your cards today, it may be that you are being told to honor your future by readying yourself for change. The message could be to lighten your load if you have gathered too many "things" that do not serve you. These "things" can include thoughts, worries, pressures, stresses, or gadgets that have been broken for years. In understanding the balance involved in gathering, you need to look at the idea of circulating the stock of what you have gathered. Call the nearest thrift store. If something no longer "crows corn" for you, then it is time to let it go.
Squirrel has another lesson which can aid you if you observe what is obvious, and which can prepare you for anything. It has to do with a safe place in which to hold your gatherings. This safe place is an untroubled heart and mind, and that which is gathered to put in this place is wisdom and caring. The energies gathered will set your mind and heart free, so that you will know that all will be taken care of in its own time. Apply this to your fears about the future, and they will vanish.
Year of the Yang Fire Horse!
Fire Horse years are extremely fast-moving, so buckle up! The last time that we had a Fire Horse year was 1966! The Fire Horse is bold, independent, passionate, strong-willed, and rebellious! Live with passion! Let your light shine!
Bedroom Feng Shui
I love the look of plants in the bedroom, but did you know that it is said that plants in the bedroom drain your energy? Humans are considered to be an Earth element. Plants are the Wood element. In the 5 Element theory, Wood drains Earth energy. As always, do what is best for you! Take a look at your energy levels; if you have plants, pictures of flowers, or even plant patterns on your bedsheets, maybe begin trading them out.
Bedrooms do best with neutral colors, earthy colors.
