Astrology: July 31-August 6, 2023 and Lammas from Sandra Helton©

 

Even in the blast of intense weather there’s a quiet whispering calm weaving its way into our consciousness as the solar system shifts toward a new season in part due to Lammas, a day recognized and celebrated throughout the Northern Hemisphere that’s the midpoint between the Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox. Religions celebrate it on Tuesday, August 1 although it’s actually when the Sun is at 15 degrees Leo. Various religions honor the time with celebrations often called Fire Festivals with other names such as LĂșnasa and Lughnasadh. This is also Loaf Mass day in Catholicism when loaves of bread represent harvested grain.

This Lammas Full Moon in Aquarius is also another Supermoon presenting the energy of fullness and completion. Acknowledging the rays helps to connect with what you have as a building block for going forward. A simple thanks and lighting of a candle suffices though many gather to honor in bigger ways connections to higher energies of gods and goddesses and the angelic realms. It’s a way of saying you made it this far and now on your way forward.

Also on Tuesday Mercury opposes Saturn giving energy of necessity to think methodically and with impunity. Many will be of a serious mindset this week as ponderings of what the future holds seems to shadow all activities.

Mars trine Jupiter this day helps to have breakthroughs of hope and sensing something good in the offing.

On Sunday the Sun and Jupiter square that prods you to think creatively and strive toward what is yet to be revealed.

With the Moon in its waning phase a key to success this week is working on structure and reorganization. Making lists and rethinking priorities is helpful.

Continuing notes of ongoing planet alignments:

Mercury is in Virgo, the sign it rules until October 4 giving ease of the ability to progress in your everyday life, through work and all activities during which you maintain what you’ve built. You

Mars transits Virgo until August 27 that stirs all aspects of work forces and challenges higher mindsets. Combined with Mercury in Leo this gives a strong sense of awareness about choices. Both planets bring introspection that along with the 4 Supermoon rays you can learn so much about motivations, your own and others with whom you’re closely connected. Small beginnings and establishing routines goes well and can become an integral part of your life.

AFFIRMATION

These affirmations are composed based on current celestial placements. As a clinical hypnotherapist I’ve studied writing scripts for clients so the composition is written with the intent to allow connecting with the heavens and expanding awareness to be more in harmony for the highest good. Taking a moment to be still and ideally in a quiet place, or even when going to sleep, the reading or speaking of these may be helpful and benefit your soul journey. Even just seeing it can be beneficial.
