Nervous energy

There's an intensified energy afloat today. We are starting to feel Sunday's Aquarius Full Moon, and are of course working with the energies of Monday's Uranus-Saturn opposition.

Aquarius is a mental sign, and the Full Moon is typically emotional -- so our thoughts and feelings are strongly linked now, each influencing the other.

And, although this is the fifth (and final) Uranus-Saturn opposition, it is the first with the two planets in their "new" signs -- Uranus in Aries and Saturn in Libra. This means that the feeling and the effect will be a bit different than we experienced during the previous oppositions. Before, the water and earth elements were represented (Uranus in Pisces, Saturn in Virgo), which helped provide some grounding, even in the midst of the changes. Now fire and air are represented, two elements that are much less quantifiable and controllable.

This a bit of a "caffeine high" feeling to it all. Whatever we can do to stay grounded and calm will be very helpful over the next few days, and through the first two weeks of August as well. Remember to breathe through the nervousness, and take every opportunity to connect with Nature in some mutually beneficial way. Meditate, listen to soothing music, exercise in whatever form most connects you to your physicality... In other words, take really good care of yourself! And remember to stay In Touch with your higher nature as much as possible.
