The 'Four Fours' - Reactivation

Important aspects or configurations in astrology don't just influence us while they are present on a certain date. They are constantly reactivated by other transiting planets throughout the months and years ahead - particularly by the Sun, Mars and the New or Full Moon. 

The 'Four Fours' configuration which peaked on 20th July will be reactivated on 27th July by the transiting Sun which will conjunct Jupiter, oppose Pluto, trine Neptune and sextile Uranus. This influence will shift the focus towards economic growth and international diplomacy. Expect sudden progress, or an important announcement. 

Also on the 27th July, the transiting North Node will change signs, moving from Pisces into Aquarius. The North Node - and its opposite point the South Node - change signs every 18.6 months, redirecting our focus to different areas of life, and presenting new opportunities for radical change. When it moves into Aquarius, we will be directed towards innovation and forward-thinking.

On the 29th July, the Full Moon will conjunct Pluto, sextile Neptune, trine Uranus and oppose Jupiter. Together, they will bring deeply buried matters to the surface. This planetary combination can highlight power struggles among leaders and sudden change in public mood. The Full Moon will strip away superficial illusions and therefore corruption, taboo subjects, and previously hidden financial or political schemes could be made public. There might be a surprising piece of good news.

Ticket To The Moon

Oh, how I wish astronomy was not so dismissive when it comes to astrology.  As Artemis II launched on a journey to the Moon yesterday, I'm sure I wasn't the only astrologer to raise my eyebrows at such an important occasion taking place within hours of a Full Moon. 

As I've said in this blog before, it's very bad timing to start anything on a Full Moon as this represents endings, not beginnings. So, for a major new project like the Artemis II trip which involves the longest distance from Earth ever travelled by humans, ultimately leading to a lunar base from which we can launch to Mars, this is a not a good omen. 

I'm not being a 'prophet of doom' and this is not a prediction of disaster. However, the Full Moon influence tends to bring whatever is started to a premature end by phasing it out. As a result, this NASA space project may have to be abandoned at some point during the coming months. As well as the Full Moon effect, transiting Pluto formed a T-Square configuration to the NASA chart by opposing the Sun and squaring Mars. Transiting Uranus will also square its Pluto Mercury from mid-May and throughout the rest of this year both of which may bring upset to future plans
