Maps, Destiny, and the Way Forward

“The old maps are outdated, we require new navigational aids. And the inescapable fact is that you are your own cartographer now.” Ralph Blum

Today and for the next few days, there is some push/pull energy between the hold of the past and the way forward. But there also is a harmonious grand trine with the Sun, Juno and the North Node. The Sun rules the self, Juno, commitments and the North Node rules life path and destiny.

Watch the way things  unfold today and for the next couple of days. Events can conspire to show the way forward.

Thursday’s Full Moon & Mercury Retrograde

“One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you’re lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don’t throw it away. Stephen Hawking, a Capricorn

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” J.R.R. Tolkien, a Capricorn.

The Full Moon this week  at 18 degrees of Capricorn is on Thursday July 10. The  earthy sign of Capricorn makes this a good time for for planning, commitment and long term vision.

When it comes to making decisions, it’s best to keep them pragmatic.

Coming up –  Mercury will station retrograde on July 18 at 15 degrees of Leo. -The retrograde period will last through August 11. More on this later.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is, “Brilliant sunshine just after a storm.”

New Ways of Thinking and Communicating

“Dawn points, and another day
Prepares for heat and silence. Out at sea the dawn wind
Wrinkles and slides. I am here
Or there, or elsewhere, in my beginning.”

Uranus entered the sign of Gemini today – one of the big astrological events of the year and a harbinger of changes to come.

This is the first time Uranus has transited this sign since 1942. It ushers in a time (a seven year cycle)   when it bodes well to be open to new ways of thinking,  new ways of communicating and a time when outdated thinking may go out the door.  Uranus is the planet of awakening and there can be very significant breakthroughs under this influence.

Uranus will station retrograde in September and will be back in Gemini for good in 2026.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is.”A small girl bends over a sparkling pond trying to catch a fish.”
