Aftermath
The moon conjuncted neptune, giving the morning a hazy feeling, later emotions and intellect go at oods when the moon inconjuncts mercury and venus in cancer. But perhaps even more impacting on thsi 9th day of august, is venus acting as an inexact finger of god/yod point with the two other points being ceres (but also asteroids navajo and lopez) and pluto. Venus stays in this position for a few days, just as mercury dealt with this, but now from the intuitive and emotional pov instead of the intellectual.
Juno is pushing Leo's buttons, but Juno is also leaving Leo and entering virgo. In Leo juno has highlighted the leadership positions, their stresses and their realiites, Juno has not been nice to leaders, artists, or romantics. But also Juno has highlighted those not in leadership, the followers and subordinates, their faults and what they have to offer. Juno in Virgo will be interesting, it will highlight intellectual concepts (school's coming), it might however put those of less intellegence at a disadvantage.
mercury is leaving Cancer and returning to his statinoary point before the retrograde. So while Juno is leaving the lion, letting the heirarchy of leadership shine, mercury (and shortly thereafter venus) [re]enter leo and recharge the lions roar with respect and directness.
on the 10th, the Sun opposes neptune and cuts through that haze that was induced with teh moons conjunction thereof. Anything moving into completion at this time will have an interesting and feel still incomplete. This is because Virgo Mars is linking into his opposition with Uranus in Pisces--this especially has to do with independent business projects. Trying to present the details of the situation (pisces hates detail, mars in virgo moves right past them) isn't going to catch anyones attention, let alone keep it. You have to be bold, simple, and yet still get the point across, no one cares what happened two years ago and no one cares how much space your business floor has. However, telling people how long your company has been around and how many people your business can accomodate is more relevent information for the masses.
Mars in virgo is in full swing, Mars is a red dusty planet, virgo is an earth sign. Rustic pinks, tans, and browns are going to be the desired coloring when used correctly, when used incorrectly they present a problem in terms of energy and balance, watch that feng shui. Moon in blue watery pisces isn't going to be left out, especially with uranus positioning itself for independence from such stereotypes in line with sexisim, genderism, religion, and other forms of discrimnation. Jupiter is trine to Uranus, so those trying to reinforce a singular and limited vision fo leadership are peing pushed into a realistic pov.
Jupiter square ot the Sun is another power struggle, and both of these bodies are about equally energetic, and relate to similar themes, the Sun the center of authority, Jupiter the exertion of authority. Jupiter sees things from both points of view though, it sees inward towards the sun, mercury, venus, earth, mars and teh asteroid belt, and outward to the remainnig planets, the Sun only sees thing from its central standing, a potentially limiting situation.
