On July 20, (this evening at 7:33 pm EDT) we reach the Disseminating Moon, the 135º angle between Sun and Moon.
🌖
We feel compelled to share what we’ve learned—the achievement, the realization, the insight we gained at the Full Moon must be brought to the world.
🌖
But we might not find the acceptance and enthusiasm we hoped for: The sesquiquadrate is a challenging angle, after all.
🌖
The Sun sits with Mercury and Venus, our self, our mind, our heart all feeling vulnerable, longing for a safe place. Pluto, opposite, does not offer safety. Instead, he asks for bravery and for sacrifice even in the face of loss.
🌖
The Moon sits with Neptune as both square Jupiter. If we give in to fear, that fear will be magnified. But if we hold fast to our vision, fresh from the cosmos, still trailing clouds of glory, we can find luck and optimism.
🌖
Twelve hours and a bit later, Mercury dives into the Sun, reaching the illumination of his cazimi. This flash of insight within his retrograde journey offers a surprise, perhaps exactly the bit of brilliance we need to communicate our vision with clarity.
🌖
Before dawn on July 22, the Moon reaches her trine with the Sun. From this place, we can find sympathy, deep listening, and understanding.
🌖
Sun and Moon are both in the final anorectic degrees of Cancer and Pisces. Emotions are intense. So are empathy and intuition.
🌖
Venus has passed the peak of her opposition with Pluto. Here too we have gained new understanding.
🌖
It is too soon to say we have complete understanding and integration. Still, if we are not at peace, we can and do find a moment of calm. We breathe. We check in with our bodies. We know we have gained something vital.
