TRANSITING ASPECTS FOR SUN IN LEO 2023 PART I

We will only explore a couple of transiting aspects to the natal Sun, as this post could go deep into all of the outer planets, from Saturn to Pluto extensively.

 

First, we will look at T Saturn which will be in its retrograde cycle until Nov 4/23. It moves into direct motion at 0° Pisces and will travel from 0° to 19° by early 2025 then moving again into retrograde. The retrograde cycles of Saturn work in a favourable manner. T Saturn is quincunx those with their N Sun within the corresponding degrees.

 

Saturn often speaks of the past & life, moving very slowly but gradually building as we move out of situations that require our attention. With the quincunx, you need to make adjustments. This will be when you take a closer look at your objectives and the desire to make personal adjustments.

 

You may feel limited and restricted as you maneuver your way through some adversities. This can cause a hindrance as you try to do what you want to do. Hard work is always required with Saturn’s influence, but its rewards can also create solid foundations that have the potential to last a long period of time.

 

There may be conflicts with those in authority, especially those that do not recognize the effort you have put into your work. There may be high expectations which seem to create disparity between what those in authority may want and what you may wish to accomplish. Perhaps you wish to do things your way knowing that the best results are achievable when you take a leading role, but they disagree with your way of doing things.

 

When Saturn is in its retrograde cycle, your efforts to achieve are more effective and things run smoother, but constant effort and hard work are always part of the picture.

 

Wednesday, we will look at Pluto’s influence on Sun in Leo.

TRUE YOU

Have an honest look at the way you represent yourself. This may be the way you express yourself in public, to family or friends or even on a deeper scale with yourself.

 

Be totally honest and respectful with yourself. Do you like who you are?

 

Are you moving in a preferred direction with your personal growth?

 

Is there room for change or are you satisfied with the true you?

 

An honest reflection often reveals a preference for some change, maybe very minor. When we make change we feel better about ourself because we have grown and the feeling of control. There is always work to be done (we are human), but honesty is what is required to move forward.

 

Do not make changes because of others’ expectations. Make a change because you have personal reasons to do so. Live according to your wants and goals. You might not need to make many changes when you look at your life from that perspective.

 

Honest contemplation is important. Do not jump on a whim. Being reflective can take time.

 

If you don’t like what you see, make the changes that will make you more comfortable with who you are.

 

Remember “who you wish you were” is already a part of who you are. You would not recognize those qualities or traits unless they were already a part of your true identity. Maybe the change needed is letting your true light shine without concern of what others may think.

SUN IN LEO 2023

The Sun transits from the sign of Cancer (a Cardinal, Water sign) into the sign of Leo (a Fixed, Fire sign) on July 22, 2023. There is a change from the caregiver, warmhearted, gentle individual Cancer to the big hearted, loyal, dignified, and strong character energy of Leo. Leonians are motivated by the need to help and the feeling that they often know what the best approach to take is when action is needed.

 

Leonians are strong leaders who dream big, often exaggerating the positive potential. This all comes from the heart (ruled by Leo). A Leonian knows what it takes to advance in life and is willing to work towards their objectives. They are attracted to the finer things in life like achievements, nice homes, luxury items and larger bank accounts. These they feel can get them what they want, which in many cases is recognition from their peers for their achievements.

 

Leonians do not always like to admit that they have failed but once they get past their egos, they will take full responsibility and do what is necessary to move in the required direction. They can be conceited in certain circumstances and truly feel as though they have an important role to play in the lives of those around them. In many cases, this is true.

 

Leonians that are evolved have an inner code which they are loyal too and must live up to. They have strong morals and are quite aware, especially after the fact, of the effect they have on others; therefore, their objectives are sincere and noble. Never accuse them of egoic intensions and always show them appreciation for their efforts. This will ensure you have their attention in a positive way. They need a pat on the back and appreciate affection. Leonians are quite willing to give back where needed. They are kindhearted with good intensions.

 

In our next astrology post on July 24, we will discuss some of the 2023/24 aspects related to those with their Sun in Leo.

BUSINESS AS USUAL

I believe it is important to recognize that we share this experience with fellow transcendent travelers. We are not alone although at times it feels that way. Not only do we share this path with our family and friends, but we also share it with those in our vicinity and going further with those not as physically close.  Essentially, we share this experience with all fellow beings.

 

Going deeper, we share this world with all living things, including plants, animals, birds, insects, bacteria, fungi, etc. How important is it that as we give respect and love to all earthy inhabitants?

 

We need nature far more than nature needs us. Where would we be without oxygen from plants/trees, water, food which would not exist without insects, birds, etc.  We need to learn respect for all earthly inhabitants.

 

Canada is on fire. How does this affect us as a whole?

 

The earth is a living breathing organism. We can do our part and those in authority representing us must also do what is necessary to help mother earth be healthy again. Alone we can make a change, but together we can move mountains.

 

Do we continue with “Business As Usual” or do we do something to initiate change?

 

What small change can you make to start?

NEW MOON JULY 17, 2023

We will experience the energies of a New Moon at 24° Cancer at 2:31 EDT today.

 

For those that are touched by this New Moon, it may be an emotional roller-coaster. The third decant of Cancer is Pisces. Cancer has an intense emotional interlinking and Pisces feels all senses. Choices will likely be based on emotion, and you will have difficulty dealing with challenging situations because of all the intensity of the energy linked to this lunar placement.

 

Don’t forget this New Moon is the start of something new. How this plays out will depend on the natal positioning of this New Moon in your chart. You must have planets or important angles connected by conjunction or opposition to the New Moon to really feel its influence.

 

What you start now will have its harvest in about 6 months when we experience the Cancer Full Moon on December 26 @ 7:33 p.m. EST.

 

With the New Moon, since you will now feel all that surrounds you and you may find it difficult to separate your feelings from those that are around you, this may be an emotional rollercoaster. However, intuition and psychic awareness are equally amplified currently. You may know more than what is obvious and intuitively know how to handle situations.

 

This New Moon is trine to Transiting Neptune(27° Pisces) which is within an acceptable orb. This may assist you in knowing what to follow as real and what might be exaggerated or embellished on some level.

 

Although not necessarily connected to this lunar positioning, there is a yod forming and anyone with planets or angles around 28° especially in Leo will find they are confronted with a difficult situation, potentially involving a female figure. Adjustments will be necessary as there is a challenging situation from Pluto and Neptune. We must see things as they are and then make important decisions and transformations due to what is taking place. This is often a challenging situation where something difficult must be confronted. We are asked to find our own center so we can deal with the situation accordingly and then move away from what has unfolded. The answer is found in the sextile between Pluto and Neptune as they transit the chart.

PLUTO, NEPTUNE, SATURN, AND VENUS IN RETROGRADE, PART II

We are continuing our post from yesterday. During the month of July, 2023 Pluto, Neptune and Saturn are all in retrograde and Venus enters its retrograde cycle on July 22.

 

Pluto remains retrograde until October 10 when it goes stationary direct at almost 28° Capricorn and then becomes direct on October 13.

 

Neptune went retrograde June 29 and will remain retrograde until later in Jan/24.

 

Saturn went into retrograde June 16 and will remain until early Nov/23.

 

Venus goes direct on Sept 4/23.

 

We covered Pluto and Neptune yesterday. Read yesterday’s post here.

 

Saturn retrograde often works better than when in its direct motion. This is the only planet that through reflection can produce practical results while in retrograde. This is a time when reflection on what you might want to reduce, eliminate, or simplify can be activated. You can now work towards achievement and the potential is stronger or requires less work to accomplish. Set goals, review your workload, see where opportunities lie and forge ahead. Saturn moving through Pisces can indicate a time of learning about your spiritual goals and tools such as meditation which will help open the door.

 

Venus in retrograde can make love and affection somewhat hard to find. If you are already in a relationship that needs some renewal or requires a lot of work this may be the time when you decide to end the relationship. Some relationships may remain in place but not without some evaluation and effort while other relationships may come to an end. This can relate to friendships and social gatherings as well – any type of relationship. It is not always wise to move towards planning for parties/gatherings during Venus retrograde as they may not turn out as planned. If you have already made plans then you should move ahead as Astrology does not dictate; it only offers suggestions on how to best use the energies at hand. Venus can also speak of finances and may indicate several turns with finances. You can experience downturns and then upward trends with finances.

 

Remember while reviewing these transits take into consideration which houses they will be moving through and pay particular attention to the planets that they will activate. Conjunctions and oppositions are the most relevant and the natal potential must be considered before drawing conclusions.

PLUTO, NEPTUNE, SATURN, AND VENUS IN RETROGRADE, PART I

During the month of July, 2023 Pluto, Neptune and Saturn are all in retrograde and Venus enters its retrograde cycle on July 22.

 

Pluto remains retrograde until October 10 when it goes stationary direct at almost 28° Capricorn and then goes direct again on October 13.

 

Neptune went retrograde June 29 and will remain retrograde until Jan/24.

 

Saturn went retrograde June 16 and will remain until Nov/23.

 

Venus goes direct on Sept 4/23.

 

Pluto in retrograde still causes some havoc, transformations and regeneration but does so with a little more challenge. There may be more ego disruptions and anger for those affected by its cycle as most planets do not operate in their full, positive frequencies while in retrograde. Eg. Pluto can make you more reflective and look deep on a personal level, asking for an honest look at your more dark qualities and then purging them. Looking inward may not be a pleasant task but in doing so we can eliminate the personality traits that are not beneficial. This is a time of reflection and inner contemplation. When Pluto goes direct you will be able to move ahead without these implications addressing all the concerns of personal advancement.

 

Neptune retrograde wants you to separate reality and illusion. This can be on a personal level or related to important things in your life, such as relationships. This is a time for reflection and preparing yourself for the elimination of unwanted personal fiction that has held you captive because you may have refused to deal with them earlier. Your mystical approach may also have difficulty coming to the surface. You may need to deal with anything that has made you anxious or disoriented. Once you reach a viable, real, truthful conclusion you can move into reality once again and the doors of the mystical can open. This often takes place once Neptune goes direct and can use its full application.

 

We will look at Saturn and Venus retrograde tomorrow, July13.
