Don't miss out on the planetary aspects at the end of the Report to fill in the blanks on most days.
Many aspects, especially those involving slower-moving planets, can influence several days, especially when approaching their exact date. Many will last for days beyond if the planets are moving very slowly.

  • Mars is the God of War which is passing over one of four Royal Stars of Persia (now called Iran). This is the star Regulus, the Watcher of the North and is located at the very heart of the sign of Leo. The star is linked to the mythical king Feridum who was blessed with success and great promise when his actions were peaceful and benevolent but lost his kingdom when he engaged in acts of revenge. To be graced with the gifts of Regulus you must avoid revenge. Royal stars are situated to watch the four directions, north south east and west. Regulus is important today because a 60° aspect between Mars and the Moon occurs today at 11:17am while Mars is exactly conjunct Regulus at 29°54' of Leo. The Moon is also in a precarious position of 29°. I find this curious because this degree is at the threshold of the point known as the world axis. Another fact is that the next eclipse degree of 29° Virgo is activated by this event with a square (90°) from the Moon. It all seems staged for the next event between the same pair - an occultation, on Thursday July 27, at 1:49 p.m. An occultation is an alignment like a mini-eclipse between a planet, the Moon and the earth, and it happens when a planet is close to the Moon's nodes and then the Moon conjuncts that planet. The two bodies align in both longitude and declination; the same is the case with the Sun and Moon during a solar eclipse.
    Mars has a harsh and fiery nature that has a short temper, is noisy and propels a high level of activity. Mars is the ruler of blasts from any projectile as well as tools and heavy equipment. All things motivated by a macho dynamic are visible during this period. The next Moon-Mars occultation will occur on August 25th when we can expect even greater examples of Mars' energy. The pair will conjunct and parallel much closer to the node than the conjunction of July 27th.
    In my neighborhood the Mars energy is evident with more sirens and rescue vehicles than usual over this past week. It rules fire. Mars was at 25° Leo when Israel began bombing the Beirut Airport on July 12th.
    People are testier and easily triggered, if pushed. Today's Moon-Mars sextile could escalation warlike events but on a personal note you may notice a jump start in areas that have been slow-moving. Business is likely to pick up over the next week. The combination of Moon-Mars symbolism is the fertilization of an egg-pregnancy. The Moon represents the egg and Mars supplies the penetration. The Senate recently voted to allow federal funding for stem cell research but Bush vetoed the bill. Some of the less macho expressions are things like a ravenous appetite and an increase in cooking. Bed and Breakfast business whether a start -up or an existing establishment should do well with this aspect. Too much food brings an upset stomach or food poisoning. Virgo is the ruler of food preparation. Any cut is ruled by Mars as are operations. Add the Moon and there may be more surgeries involving the breasts. Storms are more violent but this is partly because of the Moon at extreme declinations. You may have a project that requires a special part or a major job on your vehicle. This alignment could speed up the creative process as well. Taking on a special tasks or starting a new job may be in the works. Action is the key idea for this entire week. Heads roll! Full speed ahead! Taking charge and getting charged up are all more of the same.

    Moon Signs & Daily Summaries
    Please read my
    article on Refranations as they are an important astrological event marker.

    New Weekly Feature
    For ease of reading the details of each day, when available or appropriate, follow the daily summary.


    A Day Rating may not describe the feeling or your experience of that day but give details about the end result of your actions taken under that Moon sign period. A Moon sign period begins when the Moon enters a new sign and remains in effect until it leaves that sign. A Difficult Day can bring unwanted complications for the end result of your objectives. By choosing a Good Day and before the void of course Moon period, you increase you chances for a smoother and more favorable outcome. The day is rated by the last aspect from the Moon to a planet before it leaves the sign. That last aspect begins the void of course Moon period. Your activities are considered to be under the umbrella of the Moon sign that changes every couple of days. Days with the same Moon sign often carry the same day rating for the couple days the Moon occupies that sign.

    There some very important exceptions:
  • When a planet changes signs, the day rating can change.
  • When a planet changes direction, the day rating can change.

  •  
    These instances are referred to as a refranation, indicating that you are to expect someone to leave before you complete your objectives or the situation totally changes due to new and unseen developments or reversals.

    General Notes On Cancer MoonsCancer
    A Good then Complicated dau. Mixed - Good until 11:28 a.m. Complicated by Changes until 7:18 a.m. Gemini Moon changing to Cancer at 11:28 a.m. Two big events today when Mars enters Virgo and the will Sun enter Leo, the sign of the king. Executive decisions need to be made regardless of a lack of information or missing players. The indications are that active participants are repositioning to take a new stand. It is an emotional day and a complicated day. The Moon's sextile (60°) aspect to Mars sets the tone hours before Mars and Sun change signs. A nervousness is present and a disregard for a lack of funds when you may be forced to spend for an unexpected pleasurable event.
    Mars enters Virgo at 2:53 p.m. Sun enters Leo at 7:18 p.m. Sun is sesqui-square (135°)-square (90°) Uranus at 1:39 a.m. Venus is sesqui-square (135°) Neptune at 5:10 a.m.

    General Notes On Cancer MoonsCancer
    Cancer Moon. A Good Day. Comfort and family is a priority. The man's choice rules the day. Brothers, dads and buddies gather for a male bonding. Good energy level to take on a big job around the house. Accomplish tasks that have waited for attention for as much as two years.
    Sun semi-sextile (30°) Mars at 3:32 a.m.

    General Notes On Cancer MoonsCancer
    Neutral Day with Little to No Gain. Cancer Moon is v/c at 5:08am conjunct Mercury. Moon enters Leo at 8:24pm. There are no planetary aspects today. A void of course Moon all day is not a problem when in its own sign of Cancer. A day to go with the flow. We are in the dark of the Moon period when information is difficult to gain and people are not sure what direction to take.

    General Notes On Leo MoonsLeo
    A Good Day. Leo New Moon at 12:31 a.m. Paranoia and propaganda is the tone for the day. For those seeking financing from venture capitalist, beware of grand promises. Exaggerated attempts to pressure others to invest in your goals risk power struggles that could hinder progress. Some succeed with determination often against all odds. A need for freedom from a source with oppressive control. Resistance may be exactly what the captor is looking for.

    MOON GOES VOID OF COURSE AFTER SEXTILE MARS - Jul 22 2006

    MOON ENTERS CANCER - Jul 22 2006
    The Cancer Moon is a nesting time and the desire to retreat and protect one's vulnerable underbelly is greater. The baby side of people surfaces and emotions are highly visible if you are at all able to get close enough as very often people are "crabby". This is a time to nurture and find a way to nurture yourself. People stick to their clans and cliques being less likely to socialize with outsiders and seem to be comfortable with close family members. Matters of saving and providing for necessities are concerns. Food preparation and shared meals are more important. Matters of cash as related to security, real estate and patriotism are Cancer matters. Issues involving dependency or defensiveness are likely to arise with the Moon here. What people need to survive also takes precedence. Headlines are more dramatic than usual. This is a great Moon for planting vegetables and the most fertile sign of the zodiac. The best time to plant fruits and vegetables and general planting. If you are a Cancer, matters tend to go your way. Enjoy family dinners and nestle in with a loved one.

    MARS ENTERING VIRGO - Jul 22 2006
    Brief description: This is great for clean up energy. A terrific time to get organized.

    SUN ENTERING LEO - Jul 22 2006
    Brief description: The Sun will be in Leo for the next month allowing a time for creative matters to take center stage. Children become the focus. This is a time for presentations and shows of creative works. Even though this is a time to access your joy, have fun and share your love, it traditionally stages very serious matters involving executive decisions. As these pressing matters compete for your attention you may find you are better equipped to take charge. Romance is also a priority when the Sun travels through the sign of Leo. People tend to be more open hearted with sunnier personalities. People may also be more demonstrative and generous. The ego can be bruised more easily. Confidence runs higher as does arrogance during the Leo period. Vacations and all forms of play move into the forefront.
    For personal use: Use the principals of love as the great healer. Allow your creativity to lead now.
    For business use: Present your best to the public.

    SUN SEMISEXTILE MARS - Exact Jul 23 2006
    Brief description: Recharging vital energy. To be able to view activities from behind the scenes. The development of work projects. Men are actively planning or scheming behind closed doors. Fire and noise in hospitals, farms and large institutions. Sun and Mars aspects can trigger virus, flu and other ailments as a result of being run down. Hidden problems may mushroom into bigger issues that could lead to legal disputes.
    For personal use: Take an active role in your spiritual development. Allow this motivational aspect to help initiate a plan for success.
    For business use: Seek assistance from those more experienced.

    MOON GOES VOID OF COURSE AFTER CONJUNCT MERCURY - Jul 24 2006
    MOON ENTERS LEO - Jul 24 2006
    A Leo Moon can bring sunny and cheerful moods, but this can be a demanding couple of days for your business and personal life. This is a time for "the show" or a presentation. Issues in various areas of life can be showy in nature and then the spot light is waiting for the "show off". At times if negative aspects occur there can be an abundance of arrogance with a stubborn streak. On a positive note it can be a time when your confidence is up and you are able to stay on track with a goal in mind. Pride may become an asset or liability. These couple of days work best if your express your love and appreciation for those around you and remembering to offer praise. Your generosity can be contagious as enthusiasm inspires an air of good will. It is a time when your actions are closely scrutinized as if on stage. Making every effort to be well informed and prepared in all around activities even if today is not show time, as the Leo energy may not be forgiving of faux pas. This is a good time for having interaction with children or investing time in your creative projects or anything you might consider your "baby". The children in your life are a source of joy but may need your undivided attention. Maintain a balance for love given and received. If you love it, then show it. Plant nothing since it is the most barren. Good time to tidy the garden for show. If you are a Leo, matters tend to go your way.

    JUPITER SEMISQUARE PLUTO - Exact Jul 25 2006
    Brief description: This aspect brings a mild paranoia and an abundance of propaganda. For those seeking financing from venture capitalist, beware of grand promises. Exaggerated attempts to pressure others to invest in your goals risk power struggles that could hinder progress. Some succeed with determination often against all odds. A need for freedom from a source with oppressive control. Resistance may be exactly what the captor is looking for.
    For personal use: Take on a challenge on strong spiritual ground.
    For business use: Explore possibilities but check credibility of potential investors.
    MERCURY PARALLEL SATURN Exact Jul 26 2006
    Brief description: Strictly the facts. Coming to terms with limits. Agreements made with authorities. Serious discussions. Mental focus. Quiet work. Judgmental thinking. Critiquing the faults of others. Concrete plans for projects. Pouring concrete to walkways and roads. Computer programming methods. Impasse with negotiations. Talks can be delayed.

    MOON GOES VOID OF COURSE AFTER A CONTRA PARALLEL JUPITER AT 7:04AM
    MOON ENTERS VIRGO 7:36 am - Jul 27 2006
    The Virgo Moon is a very busy time. It is a focused on details, a specific task, or on people at work. It is a great couple of days to clean up and organize your home and work setting. You may be inclined to put your energy into healthy food and good cooking. Virgo Moons actually hold a considerable amount of sexual intrigue especially when working with others. People become more detail-oriented and conscious of schedules. There may be a need to prioritize and set a daily routine in motion. This could be a good time to schedule health maintenance appointments. Due to Virgo's highly analytical energy is a great time for psychotherapy. Any type of bodywork and all forms of self help are positive uses for a Virgo Moon. This is the sign of the perfectionist, which comes in handy for tasks but disturbs the balance of interpersonal relationships. This is a very good time for planting or harvesting herbs, corn and grains. If you are a Virgo, matters tend to go your way.

    MERCURY STATIONARY DIRECT 21°CANCER 04 AT 8:40PM - Jul 28 2006

    MOON GOES VOID OF COURSE AFTER SQUARE PLUTO - Jul 29 2006

    MOON ENTERS LIBRA 8:27pm - Jul 29 2006
    When the Moon is in Libra, people are more likely to cooperate or establish partnership to accomplish their goals. Activities such as hashing out agreements, tending to legal matters, and balancing the scales in all areas are Libra's territory. People are more open to social activity and are more likely to seek companionship. Matters of marriage, or the marriage of ideas, are brought to the surface. There can be indecisiveness which stands in the way of progress; however, the right decision is likely to follow. Watch for business mergers. The ultimate Libra goal is "peace". A time to plant beautiful flowers. If you are a Libra, matters tend to go your way.
