Subject: A Summer Of Mixed Moods...
A Summer of Mixed Moods
This solstice, expect the unexpected and allow the summer to be
unforgettable.
By Shelley L. Ackerman
On June 21, 2005 at 2:46 AM EDT, the Sun enters the astrological
sign of Cancer and in the Northern Hemisphere the summer season officially
begins.
The sign of Cancer represents motherhood, family, the human state
of being wounded, and our deep need for security and shelter. The sign is known
for its heightened emotional and psychic sensitivity. Watery, reflective, and
self protective by nature (think of the crab's shell), Cancer is one of the
four Cardinal signs, and Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn)
are the motivating forces of the zodiac as they initiate each season.
What will the next three months be like? According to the chart
cast for the exact moment of the Solstice in Washington D.C. (representing the
USA), the forecast is "Hot, Hot, Hot."
Heat Wave
The planetary pictures present at the Cancerian Ingress (the
precise moment the Sun goes into Cancer) point to a summer that is filled with
extremes. According to weather astrologer Carolyn Egan, "The chart indicates a
scenario that is hot, wet, and miserable. Americans (particularly in the
Northeast and Midwest) need to be careful and on notice about 'poisonous water'
stemming from stagnant water that sits in the heat and attracts all kinds of
critters), red tide, and a volatility that may manifest as a natural disaster
or two."
What's more, the Moon (representing the public) is merged with
Pluto (representing power, the depths and intensity) both in Sagittarius, the
sign ruling politics, philosophy, foreign affairs, and religion in the 8th
house of shared wealth, death and rebirth. This suggests that the current
climate of polarization will "heat up" another notch or two. That, mixed with
mounting financial woes, could easily prompt the populace to be, shall we say,
less "tolerant" than they'd be in cooler months. Acting out is a strong
possibility: In plain English, let's hope that there's no rioting.
But the news is not all bad, not by a long shot, as a matter of
fact it's rather good, particularly if you like your summer with some challenge
to it and a little drama on the side.
The Changing of the Guard
Celestially speaking, July is a very busy month. Saturn, the planet
of karma and hard work, will change signs going from Cancer to Leo. Saturn has
a cycle of 29½ years, and when in any one of the 12 signs, the focus is on
learning the lessons of that sign. Saturn will enter Leo on July 16th and
transit Leo for just over 25 months.
Leo is the sign of the hero. It rules fatherhood, royalty,
authority, the patriarchy, the stage, entertainment, recreation, play,
children, and childhood. Leos are usually thrilling people to know and to
watch. Their lives are filled with dramatic intensity, father problems,
authority issues, but laced with plenty of fun and elegant parties. Leo is the
king of the zodiac in the same way the lion is the king of the forest.
We can always spot people with the Sun in Leo when they walk into a
room: Jackie Onassis, Bill Clinton, Madonna, Andy Warhol, Patrick Swayze,
Whitney Houston, and Robert Redford are all Leos. They radiate glamour and
warmth. But Saturn entering Leo is very different from the Sun in Leo: it
brings a demand for responsibility and accountability into a sign that likes to
play. It's heavy and somewhat uncomfortable: Can you imagine a five year old
wearing a business suit in a sandbox? So for the next two years, expect a fair
amount of seriousness and sobriety to pervade the realms of entertainment,
patriarchal systems, the plight of children, and in the royal families and
monarchies of the world. But this sobriety could pay off very nicely. The needs
of children in general will be taken more seriously, and advocacy for the
world's children will make great strides.
The last time Saturn was in Leo (late 1975-mid 1978) the economy
was weak but the world of entertainment was on a roll. Saturday Night Live
premiered, "The Fonz" and Charlie's Angels ruled television, and in the movies
Joseph Campbell's "ero's Journey"and the related theme of overcoming the
limitations of the father or of the establishment with courage and nobility
flourished onscreen in epics such as "Star Wars," "Rocky," and "Saturday Night
Fever".
Saturn in Leo can be (for better or worse) a very formidable
placement, one that give natives the oomph to stand up to their fears and
create BIG: Steven Spielberg, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, Lena Horne,
O.J. Simpson, and Seinfeld creator Larry David all have Saturn in Leo. The
challenge is to overcome insecurity and the mistaken notion that on a creative
level, you're just not good enough.
The next planet making headlines this summer is Mars, planet of
war, self-assertion, and aggression.
Mars moves through all 12 signs in about two years. But for six to
seven months out of those 24, he travels forward, backward (retrograde), and
forward again in only ONE sign, as if to provide that sign with an opportunity
to bone up on its 'anger management' skills. This time, from July 28, 2005
through February 17, 2006, Mars does its slow burn tango through the earthy,
sensual sign of Taurus.
Mars in Taurus is a fascinating and powerful placement: It was
there when both the radio and the telephone were invented, the Internet was
launched, the first cables laid across the Atlantic, and when many advancements
in publishing, media, civil rights, and in the world of labor were achieved.
Mars in Taurus is an ace at bridging one place to another.
Mars went retrograde in Taurus in Sept 1973, but retrograded back
into Aries in late October through December of that year. The Nixon
administration unraveled and the now famous 'Saturday Night Massacre' occurred
bringing the Watergate scandal into full throttle. That year's oil crisis made
for the longest lines at the gas pumps most living Americans can remember.
However, Mars hasn't spent the full seven months in Taurus since late July
1926-February 1927. During that transit, talking pictures and television made
their debuts and singers Tony Bennett, Leontyne Price, and Joan Sutherland were
born (Mars in Taurus is 'the active throat', and Mars in Taurus people tend to
hang in there for generations).
To get a feel for the ferocious staying power and generational
impact that Mars in Taurus combined with Saturn in Leo has, think of Hitler,
Charles Chaplin, and JFK - all born with this wallup-packing combination.
Many born during this summer of '05- through February '06 will
impact the world greatly in years to come. For those of us alive and dealing
with the here and now, there is frustration to be expected, but it's the kind
of frustration that can lead to many positive and profound life-changing moves
(When the going gets tough....)
Also, from July 22 to August 15, our friend Mercury (planet of
communication and travel) goes retrograde. Mercury retrograde is always a good
time to back up files, take extra care with transportation, and to go back to
waylaid projects and old contacts and regroup.
Most of all, the Summer of 2005 will be unforgettable.
And as you embark on the next trimester of your "Hero's Journey"
just one more thought: Dream Big.
