July 2013 Major Magic Afoot
Amidst the slowing down and communication/transporta- tion ‘opportunities’ Mercury Retrograde will bring through- out July is major energetic potential for MAGIC.
A rare Grand Trine in Water will officially occur July 17-19th and the energies of this sacred geometrical portal will start to kick up well before then, with follow-up waves afterwards.
Everything in astrology can be looked at and understood in layers. To better understand this upcoming magical line-up let’s start with defining a Trine. Everything in astrology is based in math, as astrology is a science and all science has a mathemati- cal basis. Resonance between signs is based on multiple factors, one of which is the angle between them. A trine is 120° angle and is one of the most favorable angles in astrology. It is because of this angle that all signs of the same element, Fire, Earth, Air, Water, have a natural harmony with each other. In a Grand Trine, three planets make 120° angles to one another. This is favorable times three, and then some!
Pieces of a magical puzzle will come together creating endless positive potentials, the effects of which will be both universal and specific to each individual’s charts. Because of the houses represented by the water signs, there will be much manifestation in the fields of experience ruled by Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. An example of this would be: someone behind the scenes (Pi- sces) conspiring for your good with financial resources (Scorpio), to create a perfect housing situation (Cancer).
As the magic unfolds, remember to be aware of the Mercury Retrograde effects of slowed down communication and trans- portation. The Retrograde cycle officially started June 26th, with a three-week shadow period prior to that date. Avoid buying new phones, cars, computers, bikes, or any other communica- tion/transportation devices and if you absolutely must, then get the extra insurance/warranty packages. Be especially aware of water as it relates to your devices.
This Mercury Retrograde will be in Cancer making it a fan- tastic time to return to a place that feels like ‘home’, or to visit family/ have them visit you, get back in touch with old friends, be around water, rethink/research a housing situation (without making any exact plans or commitments as you consider), or to nest into your current home.
