Planetary Currents
by
Christine Broadbent
Leo
and VIrgo Time:
July 23 to September 22, 2007
In mid July Venus took her love
light and left Leo, plunging you into practical
concerns. July 30 and August 1
will take a lot of cool to avoid an explosion
but you can look forward to a surprise return
of the love planet on August 9.
Creativity will expand in unusual ways with
Venus ‘retro’ chez Leo until
September 9. You can expect to revisit some
old territory, reconnect with people and
places you love, particularly in the five
days following your Leo New Moon on August
13. Magic can happen then. The great thing
is that when Venus goes ‘direct’
on September 9 she will sweep reservations
aside and plunge you into the grand adventure
that has been quietly taking shape. Also
Saturn will be leaving Leo after two years
there and a weight will start to lift. You
are fabulously effective from September
9 to 27; money flows, both in and out. Important
agreements are reached mid month, your charm
is golden.
Mars is accelerating your travel
and learning bug in July and until August
9, when the energy shifts to vocation.
You seemed to be on a Venus roll when she
entered Virgo mid July but she backs out
again in early August and instead adds her
touch to the many planets lighting your
inner fire this month. Something that looked
good in late July might take until mid October
to get rolling - don’t give up. Your
mental clarity is excellent after August
20 but could be washed away on 25-26, and
by a Pisces flash flood of emotions at Full
Moon on August 28-29. Once Saturn enters
Virgo on September 3, simplify your life
and faith returns. Your Virgo New Moon on
September 11 is a solar eclipse with a Mars
‘T square’. This means a mix
of magical moments and mad over-organising.
September 4 and 10-11 are no days to sky
dive - or to criticise out loud. September
13 to 27 is potent with opportunity, a time
to find just the right balance of work and
play.
Late July has its pressures with
seemingly no let up. Try being inventive
from July 28 to August 1, to avoid taking
on someone else’s stress.
Your best “can do” days are
August 3, 6,10 and 15-18. In fact mid August’s
New Moon begins a productive busy sociable
time. Yet your guiding light, Venus is ‘retro’
and late August a bit manic, so hold off
on a big commitment, trim your schedule,
claim some solitude and all will be well.
Mercury enters Libra on September 5, Venus
goes ‘direct’ on 9th and your
networks buzz. Everything is easier from
September 13 to 27 with things falling into
place September 13 and 18-19. Just don’t
fall into a trap on 22nd. There is a link
between July 1, August 26 and September
22, so learn from the first two and refuse
to be deceived or misled. Have the grace
to simply be you, rather than turning yourself
inside out to please others.
Partners are often the inspiration
for your highs and lows and in late July
it’s their stubborn attitudes that
irk you. Particularly July 25 and
at Full Moon on July 30. Don’t waste
your energy fighting it – July 29
and August 3 offer better understanding.
When ruler Mars enters your hard work zone
on August 8, you will have plenty to do,
maybe not the appreciation you would like.
Go with the flow and be aware that a work
commitment or role offered you in mid August
has good potential but might change its
shape between now and mid October. Your
enterprising zeal will rise after August
13’s New Moon yet frustrations in
late August mean an exciting project will
more easily evolve after September 9. September
also begins an opportune two year Saturn
cycle, winning you support, priming you
for success. Despite September’s many
smiles, September 20-22 is a minefield.
Independent action is your creed
and often your strength, yet that doesn’t
stop you offering copious advice to others.
Beware this tendency in late July and the
first half of August, it could
lose you friends and make enemies. Your
fiery insights are often inspired and on
August 7 you begin the best and final phase
of your opportune Jupiter year, so don’t
waste all this potential on judging others.
Instead, let your individual excellence
spread its wings! With lots of supportive
Leo planets, New Moon on August 13 brings
a surge of yearning for travel and late
August energises plans with a partner. Be
wary of pushing then or a Full Moon meltdown
could spoil things. Trust the flow, then
September 9 to 13 makes it all worthwhile.
Mars adds dash, you find direction and achieve
a lot. If plans change or others challenge
your patience September 20-22, smile sweetly
and let this too pass you by unruffled.
Serious soul Capricorn can embrace
some fun in late July by letting someone
convince you to try something different.
You won’t regret it. Full
Moon on July 30 begins the buildup to a
potent embrace between Saturn and Pluto
on August 6. As long as you avoid being
too heavy or a spoilsport on August 1, this
is a glorious week. When Venus joins Saturn
mid August a financial or investment plan
looks good but it needs more time to cook,
probably until October. That big Pisces
Full Moon on August 28 has chaos potential
for plans and relationships -don’t
overreact. The world is a little weird and
that’s OK. Your guru planet, Saturn
starts a powerful earthy cycle on September
3, offering you 2 years of more credibility,
more responsibilities, more movement. New
Moon on September 11 stirs adventurous urges
so consider a short get-away, 13-19th.
In the grinding buildup to July
30’s Full Moon in Aquarius, you square
dance with Mars, while Saturn opposes your
every move. Take no relationships
for granted. Layers of complexity reveal
themselves as Saturn reaches out to ‘dwarf’
Pluto in a fiery, passionate embrace. Personal
mastery is on your mind in August and a
deep hope begins to surface as a plan. August
28’s Full Moon evokes unusual help
and potential contacts/ contracts. Three
days later Saturn leaves your partner sign
after a two year saga. Now it’s time
to live the theories and let your mind have
a rest. Get down and dirty as Sun and Saturn
in Virgo ignite your secrets. September
is for the work of change – intense
irrevocable change. By September 11’s
New Moon it’s Venus reaching out to
you from your marriage house, not Saturn.
Let sweetness rule September 12 to 27 and
your heart heals.
Life has been full of surprises
not always pleasant. By July 30’s
Full Moon a recent mini crisis has run its
course. This does not let you off
the Venus hook however, as she slides backwards
through your partnership house. Not until
August 10, will you feel even vaguely clear
about a recent dilemma and that’s
OK. With Venus ‘retro’ it will
actually not be until mid October that you
get your best chance for a great twosome.
Pisces Full Moon on August 28 is a phenomena
in itself and carries the energy of a Jupiter
‘T square’, which can mean overkill.
The right balance of fun and work could
make the most of Jupiter’s energetic
cycle, boosting your career and life roles.
Your Full Moon alerts you to the changes
that must be made and September is the month
to make them as Saturn is now on your team.
From September 12 to 26 relationships take
centre stage and a window of opportunity
opens.
As July 30’s Full Moon builds
so does your energy but beware an unwise
purchase or promise on July 25. July 29-30
is a chance to speak from the heart and
August is for love and creativity, with
Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn all in your
house of love. August 13’s New Moon
brings up the quota to five planets pumping
for you having a joy recharge. This month
your fiery spirit burns bright, but make
sure you don’t turn into a lava mouth
on August 24-26. Gather your ideas quietly
instead. The same weather warning applies
to September 3-4 and 20-21, as these are
other times when mouthy Mars is under pressure.
Being all knowing, sets up trouble. Big
plans, projects and tightly orchestrated
movements coalesce in September, with an
especially interesting period from September
9 to 19 when working in tandem makes magic.
Check in next time to hear about your Aries
Full Moon in late September and its ability
to illuminate your life.
Lady Venus is a mystery. She rules
two signs – the Sacred Bull and the
Scales of Justice and from July 28 she begins
her ‘retro’ phase. This
is a once in two years op for you to learn
more about your Venusian nature, consider
questions of desire and look beneath the
covers, so to speak. From August 9 through
September, it is at home, that Venus urges
you to start this exploration as she and
a host of planets make being at home all
the go. Sadly, unless you work from home,
Mars in your money sign will prise you out
of the nest, just make sure you enjoy all
your returns to it. Occasional solitude
is good too and it will help you understand
the odd behaviour of loved ones around August
28’s Full Moon and eclipse. September
10-11 is a New Moon wake up call and your
love life charges up over the next nine
days. But keep your wallet out of sight
September 18 and 20-22. Just relax.
Your wit and the speed at which
you can change your position on things,
is sometimes held against you but it’s
really just your ‘mutable’ nature.
On August 7 Mars enters Gemini and Jupiter
goes ‘direct’ in your fiery
partner sign - now your strengths will be
most apparent. Air fans Fire into life and
that happens for you in August when Mars
and Mercury dance. Great ideas, quick thinking
and good leadership are all likely, with
best results August 16 to18. There are days
to be restrained: August 8, 13-15 and 25-26,
because Mars can stir your contentious side,
with bad results. The same warning applies:
September 3-4, 18 and 20-21. Your best chance
to be brilliant and acknowledged comes after
September 5 when Mercury ups your creativity
and goes into its power phase September
13 to 19. The support and networks are there
for you now.
Sun leaves Cancer on July 23 but
communicator Mercury is still there and
connects to a brilliant plan or inspiring
person on July 29, which flows into a frenetic
Full Moon on July 30. Some great
and practical help comes your way on August
3 and you could start to cash in on your
recent efforts and financial strategies
around August 6. New Moon in your money
house on August 13 begins a hard work time.
A commitment you considered in early July
is up for a second look now but it will
be mid October before you have the whole
picture. Your biggest obstacle in August
is increased emotional sensitivity, with
Mars dredging up deep issues. This is most
obvious August 24 to Full Moon on 28th when
it is important to take the pressure off.
Claim more reverie time in early September
and a break/retreat around September 11’s
solar eclipse, then change simply flows.
