Celestial Forecast: June 25-July 1
 Solar system by Benjamin Bernstein

 

Whatever your sun sign, this forecast will help you choose how to best use the current astrological energies! Events are most powerful on the dates listed. However, their influence will be active for at least several days before and after. All dates and times are in the U.S. eastern time zone.

 

While everyone is affected by these global transits, you will be most powerfully impacted when moving planets activate natal planets and other sensitive points in your birth chart.

 

VOID-OF-COURSE MOONS.

It's best to avoid starting important new projects or making major purchases during these times. "Business as usual" is the best strategy for these periods, which occur when the Moon has made its last major Ptolemaic aspect but has not yet moved into the next sign. Learn more

7/2, 6:21 pm - 6:53 pm (Capricorn)
7/4, 8:26 am - 8:27 pm (Aquarius)
7/6, 11:49 am - 7/7, 12:31 am (Pisces)
7/8, 7:00 am - 7/9, 8:15 am (Aries)

7/3 (Tue). Mars transits Libra today through 8/23, energizing creativity, relationships, diplomacy, harmony and balance. You'll find an extra measure of support for new beginnings in any of these areas!
Be open to adjustments in your relationships, finances and creative expression as Venus quincunxes Pluto. With Venus in Gemini, adjustments to your thinking and expression may also be in order.

The July Full Moon occurs today at 2:52 PM (12°13' Capricorn). For starters, ask how "full-filled" you are with your job, career, calling and reputation. What adjustments are needed in any of these areas now?
Are minor adjustments needed, or revolutionary transformation? With the Moon conjunct Pluto and square Uranus, a major revamp is a distinct possibility! If your mind can't figure it out, or is overwhelmed with the magnitude of the potential change involved, then your best strategy might be to follow your intuitive flashes. And with Chiron sextile the Moon, this is a great opportunity to bring any needed healing to these areas, and perhaps even seek the advice of a mentor.
This Full Moon's Sabian Symbol is, "A fire worshiper meditates on the ultimate realities of existence." Since this lunation is so focused on worldly accomplishment, perhaps this Sabian Symbol is a reminder to carry out your daily activities while maintaining divine consciousness. And the worship of fire might have a dual meaning here: the passion and enthusiasm you bring to your everyday activities, as well as the endless creative radiance of the divine source. Better together!

Another Yod kicks off today, which shares a great deal with the one that started on 7/1. This Yod also peaks on 7/4 and ends on 7/6, and even includes two of the same planets! This one has Pluto and Chiron on the back end, and points toward Mercury. You can make good use of this "Finger of God" by boldly facing the uncomfortable thoughts you would normally shy away from. Don't worry about fixing anything - just give these challenging thoughts your simple attention, without judging them or trying to push them away. Who knows -- the pure consciousness that you really are might just see these thoughts for what they really are: illusory phantoms. This breakthrough can even lead to spontaneous healing around whatever issues your thoughts were focused on!
Technical note:
these two Yods, taken together, form a more complex aspect pattern called a "Double Yod Key."

7/4 (Wed).For many, the fireworks and picnics of America's Independence Day

Benjamin will lecture on "Ayahuasca Awakenings" at two Asheville-area venues this summer. First up will be the Sacred Embodiment Center on Tue., July 24 at 7:30 pm. Then he will give a similar presentation at Crystal Visions on Wed., Aug. 15 at 7 pm.

Benjamin's love offering presentation will focus on the intense month-long shamanic immersion he underwent this spring in Peru. His focus will be on the spiritual awakenings that the plant spirit teacher Ayahuasca and master shaman Don Diego facilitated for him during his time in the jungle. The first 90 minutes will be lecture, while the final half hour will have Benjamin transmitting spiritual energy to the audience and leading them in guided invocations.
