The Sun in Leo wants you to know that you're The Star of the Show! (You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you, don't you? Don't you? π)
We've got some interesting things coming up this week, astrologically:
- On MoonπDay, the Cancer New Moon opposes Pluto in Capricorn. The Tropic of Cancer ♋️ (Gate of Life, the Mother) is at ROUGHLY 23.5° North of the equator. The Tropic of Capricorn ♑️ (Gate of Death, the Father) is roughly 23.5° South of the equator. The moon is in domicile (at home) in the sign of Cancer. The New Moon is Persephone. With the moon seemingly vanished from our night sky, we could interpret this as ♇ersephone's abduction into the Underworld (archetypally represented by Pluto ♇ and/or Capricorn). Capricorn is the Kid π, the Son who dies/the Sun π reborn.
Pluto went Retrograde in Aquarius ♒️ on May 1st, 2023 - backtracking into Capricorn ♑️ on June 11th, where it'll remain until January 2024
- But everything is backwards (Pluto is in Retrograde). This is The Hanged Man π± (associated with the 13th Hebrew letter Mem, and the gematria of Mem is 40). The Hanged Man is Sirius, fallen into the Underworld. While the Sun is in Cancer from June 21st (ushering in the Summer Solstice, whereas the Winter Solstice [on December 21st] is when the Sun enters into Capricorn, from December 21st-January 20th) to July 22nd, we enter into the Dog Days of Summer on July 3rd until August 11th. In other words, for 40 Days.
- On the same day as the New Moon, the nodal axis shifts from the north node in Taurus ♉️ and south node in Scorpio ♏️ to the north node in Aries ♈️ and the south node in Libra ♎️
- On July 22nd, the Sun leaves Cancer and enters Leo ♌️ Venus ♀️ also goes Retrograde in Leo for 40 Days and 40 Nights.
- During the annual Dog Days of Summer, Sirius conjoins the sun at approximately 13.5° around the 3rd or 4th of July each year. For 40 days, Sirius is seen rising and setting with the sun. July 23rd, a Sun Day, marks the midway point of the Dog Days of Summer - with its finale being on August 11th.
- 23.5 + 23.5 = 47. 47 is the atomic number of the element of silver (Argentum). Silver is the alchemical metal associated with the Moon (which rules the sign of Cancer). Again, the Moon is in its domicile in Cancer and at its detriment in Capricorn. We associate the Moon with the tides, as well as the underworld itself (water being a symbol of the subconscious mind - and is also the element associated with the Hebrew letter Mem).
- In the movie, 47 Meters Down, two women are trapped in a shark cage, surrounded by sharks, at the bottom of the ocean. July 23rd kicks off Shark Week on the Discovery Channel, and is hosted by JaSON MOMoa, aka Aquaman ♆
- 23 days after Venus stations retrograde, and a few days after the Dog Days of summer end, Venus enters into the heart of the sun. On August 13th, we have Venus Cazimi the Sun.
- The Hanged Man is the 23rd Path on the Qabalistic Tree of Life, while Mem, the letter associated with the Hanged Man, is the 13th letter. Mem is one of the Hebrew Mother letters, and it represents water. The Hanged Man is flipped upside down. The inverted triangle/Delta (Greek letter Delta is synonymous with the Hebrew letter Daleth, which corresponds to The Empress/Venus) symbol associated with this card represents the descent into the watery subconscious. The Well of MIMir. (Mim = Mem, M.)

- The High Priestess is the 13th Path on the Qabalistic Tree of Life, associated with the Hebrew letter Gimel, which is represented by the camel. The camel can chariot (Charon) across the desert Abyss (or the Dog Days of Summer) with very little food or water. Able to consume extremely large quantities of water in short periods of time, a camel can go without water, even in the harshest of conditions, for just over two weeks. The High Priestess is associated with the Moon, which rules the sign of Cancer.

- The Chariot is the Tarot key associated with the sign of Cancer. And The Devil (Hades/Pluto in the Underworld) is the key associated with Capricorn.

- In the Strength tarot key, ruled by Leo (the Sun is at its domicile in Leo), we see Venus taming the Lion.
