Writing in the Sky: July 9-July 15, 2017

Keep reading for the planetary energies affecting the population this week and I also explain how to overcome the low vibrations to successfully weather through another astrological forecast, in this week’s Writing in the Sky.

I remember the New Moon from just a couple weeks ago as if it were yesterday. Planting seeds, watering them over the two weeks, and now during the full moon, I reflect and harvest what I have shown thus far. The full moon in Capricorn has caused people to realise ambitions and set goals in place to achieve them. The aspects this week will work in harmony with the energy of the full moon to help us make the necessary changes within us, so that our internal can match our desired external. Just because the energies work harmoniously together, however, does not mean the work would be easy.

Sun Oppose Pluto (Cancer/Capricorn): This aspect is made even stronger with our full moon in Capricorn on July 9th. Pluto is most associated with power but it is also a planet of transformation and if we use the intuition that comes with the full moon, we can learn how to use these energies to empower us. During this transit, we may come across struggles and conflicts with people who seemingly have more power than us.

What we need to learn and understand from this aspect is that our creative power, the ability to create a reality that we want, is within us, most people just do not do the work that it takes. This transit, in conjunction with the power of the full moon, can be used constructively to find our power that is deeply rooted in our passion, emotions and especially, fears. What we fear most can change us the most, as long as we stop running from it.

To best deal with this transit, change is the key word. It can either be forced on you or you can initiate the change yourself, the latter which will make the transition smoother and the rewards even sweeter.

In my personal life, I have seen these energies manifest in my work life as well as home life. Making the decision to switch career industries and move to a home more suitable to the “new me” has made me feel lighter and transformed the hopelessness I felt from these energies to one of bright new beginnings. Since the Sun is in Cancer, a sign of the home, and Pluto and the Moon are in Capricorn, a sign of career, expect this transit to manifest in one or both areas of your life.

Sun Inconjunct Saturn (Cancer/Sagittarius): This is a challenging aspect of coping with, especially if the transformation that comes with the Sun opposing Pluto aspect, in conjunction with the full moon, is not in the process of taking place. Honestly, even if you started to make changes to live a more authentic life, this transit can still be hard. It might be hard to see beyond the present situation to see that the future is a lot brighter than our current environment. This transit can make us afraid of change, taking a risk or have us feeling like we are living in scarcity when it pertains to money, security or opportunities.

Self-acceptance is the key to this transit. We often tell ourselves, “I’ll be proud of myself when this happens” or “When I’m where I want to be, then I’ll be happy.” We need to remember to accept ourselves in the now and only in the now, because no other time exists. The present is named such because it is a gift of infinite possibilities. Sure, we may be going through a struggle now. But if we can take low energy and transform it into motivation to make a change right now, even if it is a small one, it will just help us create a better reality even quicker.

Mercury sextile Jupiter (Leo/Libra): This transit occurs during the same time as the Sun inconjunct Saturn aspect, which will add some cheerfulness and optimism during the challenging transit. This transit adds hope to everything we do, including our place in the world.

Because Jupiter adds expansion, this transit will enable you to think forward and foresee twists, turns and obstacles on your road so you can plan accordingly. This is a great aspect for planning ahead for the future and taking calculated steps.

Crystal Healing for this Forecast:

LEPIDOLITE:

This weeks’ aspects focus a lot on accepting the self and making transformations and lepidolite’s properties can help make this easier to achieve. The crystal reminds the wearer that now is the time to affect change and how necessary it is to release fears in order to achieve your greatest potential. Using this crystal will help you delve into your deepest layers so you can find the beauty and perfection that you naturally are.

To make the most of this crystal healing, meditate with the crystal in the morning to set your vibration for the day and/or carry with you all day in a pocket or necklace.
