Astrology – the Hidden Art of Knowing the Self.
The foundation study in Mystery Schools.
Knowing the heavens, knowing the self.
The two are one.

Today is Tuesday, July 9, 2024.
Tuesday’s are guarded & guided by Mars, Ray 6.
Hopes, wishes, desires, aspirations, visions (skillful).
Uncontrolled desires, expectation of outcomes of desires, fanantism (unskillful).

Virgo moon today – a very discriminating & discerning day.
Organized & orderly – which are the sacred tasks of Virgo.
Rays 2 & 6 flow through Virgo –
Ray 2 – Love/Wisdom & Ray 6 – Vision, hope, & aspiration.
Very Virgo qualities.
We can find them hidden in our charts, wherever Virgo is (in our charts). Where is Virgo in your astrology chart?

My Chiron is in Virgo – opposite my Sun in Pisces.
13 degrees Virgo in my 11th house, retrograde.
That can be difficult.

Question:
Where is your Virgo?
In what house(s) does Virgo fall for you?
What area(s) of life?
It’s good to have one’s astrology chart always nearby.
One’s astrology chart is always and only about ourselves.
It’s how we get to know ourselves (& then others, should we take up the study of astrology).
Astrology, the Sacred Art of Knowing the Self.

So today – under Sun & Venus (5) in Cancer (3 & 7).
In the kitchen today (Cancer’s nurturing foods), I will be making either donuts or pecan cinnamon rolls to send to Saturday’s meditation group.
Note: Venus (5) enters Leo (1/5/2) on Thursday.

Mercury (4) in Leo (1 & 5) – Mercury in Leo is more about ourselves, our creative selves, the creativity we bring forth helping us to know more about ourselves – our talents, gifts & abilities recognized, talked about, shared & cultivated.

Under Jupiter (2) in Gemini (2) – we are talking a lot these days, sharing information. Jupiter expands us beyond what we think we can do, feel, say, act. Jupiter is also the planet of love & wisdom, the heart of Leo (Regulus, MAGA) & the heart of Aquarius.

Under Saturn (3) retrograde in Pisces (2/6) – clearing our past, offering compassion & forgiveness to self & others.
Under Uranus (7) in Taurus (4) – the Earth (3) itself is being transformed as our Earth enters more fully into the Aquarian realms.

Under Neptune (6) retrograde also in Pisces – other worlds being shown to us. Going back in time. Dreamtime.

Under Pluto (1) retro in Aquarius (5/7) – Pluto is transforming our world – we can’t go back to the ways things have been, we are quickly moving forward into the new era (Aquarius)…which will be made up of our visions, hopes, wishes & dreams if we really understand who we are (which is the purpose of the study of Astrology – personality astrology & esoteric soul astrology).

I forgot Mars (6) – where is Mars these days?
Mars is in Taurus (earth sign).
Taurus stabilizes our desires, aspirations & visions. Mars flies in the air when in enters Gemini, entering a meadow of dreams!

Mars (Ray 6, desires, aspirations, visions, hope, & its unskillfulness of fanaticism) remains in a sign for two to seven months (if it retrogrades). Ray 6 is being withdrawn as we move further away from the Age of Pisces.

Mars (Ray 6).
Mars moves 1/2 a degree a day.
It takes Mars 2 years to complete all 12 signs around the zodiac.

On Saturday, July 20th, Mars leaves Taurus (where it gives Taurus a flavor of Aries & Scorpio) & enters the air sign of Gemini.

It’s significant when a planet changes signs. The energies in the heaves, thus also here on Earth, change. The Rays change. The influence is different than before.

It’s good to track the shifts & changes of the planets & signs. We change only when a planet and sign touches parts of our astrology chart. Change happens based on the stars, signs & planets. Astrology is the new psychology. Without it we work & see “thru a glass darkly.”

There is so much to know.
