Jupiter in Aries allows us to embody the courage of our convictions, to take acts of faith with confidence and enthusiasm. This planet, a veritable “acceleration pedal” of the Zodiac, boosts energy, makes you want to take initiatives, start new projects. Jupiter’s retrograde will create a feeling of “engine braking” at the end of July. This change of pace will force us to seek within ourselves the enthusiasm and legitimacy of our creative force, in the face of what could look like a loss of momentum.
At the same time, Uranus, Mars and the North Node will be in conjunction at 18° Taurus. When the planets of awakening and action meet the destiny of humanity in the sign of Nature, of the living, we are called to enter into the concrete, to work in harmony with the Earth, to defend the territories , without getting into power struggles, to heal the emotional wounds that are awakened by supportive and supportive relationships.

This feeling will be amplified at the end of August with the resumption of the Saturn/Uranus square, which had already invited us throughout 2021 to take individual responsibility for our freedom.
There is contrast between shadow and light and many shades in this summer. Light does not exist without shadow in matter and going into the shade in summer is necessary to refresh our thoughts. It’s time to refresh the page of your current life, because in the background, Pluto continues its slow and long work of cleaning up old structures, in the last degrees of Capricorn.
The Light in Soul Astrology
The Light in the astrological chart is that of the Sun which gives itself and is reflected in all the other planets. The Moon, the brightest, represents our personality. If the Light of the soul is that of the Sun, the Moon, its mirror, points out the risk of identification with our projections. All the planets therefore put themselves at the service of our inner Light, with the exception of the transpersonal ones (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) which belong to a more unconditional and universal Light and connect us to greater than ourselves. If your natal Sun is in aspect to one of these planets, see there a call from the Light to a transparency of your ego, at the service of a possible collective cooperation for the common good.

You can create your birth chart (for free on the website Astrotheme®), to locate the position of your Sun (circle with a point in its center) in sign and in house, its aspects (red and blue lines). All this gives the nuances of your palette of Light. The astrological house that welcomes your Sun is illuminated, it corresponds to the sector of life that carries the torch of your creative joy, of your passion in this life, using the energy of your natal sign. The ruling planet of this sign (see below) assists your Sun to illuminate your life path and its achievement. Like Tinker Bell and her magic powder (nourished by the sign in which she is), she allows your flight, and gives keys to realize your light.
How can each sign excel and find their light this summer?
Aries (ruler Mars) : you take full advantage of the passage of Jupiter in your sign. Watch out for excessive impulsiveness. Take advantage of the demotion period to sort through the multiple projects that you will certainly have initiated since the beginning of the year.
Taurus (Venus) : the meeting of Uranus and the North Node promises you surprises and unexpected things this summer around pleasures and sensoriality. Dare to think outside the box and out of your comfort zone, answering the call of freedom.
Gemini (Mercury) : Saturn in aspect favorable to your sign, offers you the possibility of gaining in maturity, it is the ideal moment to know yourself better, by using your natural sense of curiosity towards more introspection.
Cancer (Moon) : you benefit from the visit of Venus from mid-July to mid-August, which brings sweetness, love and sensuality to your need for intimacy. Romantic encounter and/or family development are in the spotlight.
Lion (Sun) : the Sun crosses your sign this summer, you also benefit from a positive aspect to Jupiter. Beware of the excessive need for glory, honor and prestige, because the opposition to Saturn will not fail to put you face to face with your responsibilities.
Virgin (Mercury) : the opposition to Neptune and the favorable aspect to Uranus could offer you a number of insights and thus allow you to put an end to illusions by discerning the true from the false.
Libra (Venus) : you may have felt more than the other signs discomfort in the acceleration caused by the opposition of Jupiter. This summer’s slowdown will put you more at ease, to take the time to reflect and make the right choices.
Scorpio (Mars and Pluto) : your sign receives the South Node, an opportunity to clean up old wounds, the opposition to Uranus allows the release of old patterns, even if it seems like a rather unstable period, you are able to take full advantage of this new beginning .
Sagittarius (Jupiter) : last sign of fire, you take advantage of the positive aspect to Jupiter (your master planet), which makes you want to expand, travel, enlarge. Saturn helps you structure your projects over the long term.
Capricorn (Saturn) : more than the others, you are aware of the basic work that has taken place within you in recent years. It is the alchemical work of Pluto which benefits this summer from the sextile to Jupiter to restore your enthusiasm and energy.
Aquarius (Saturn and Uranus) : you are called to embody in the eyes of all what true freedom is. Saturn, beyond the constraints imposed by the outside, invites you to move from claiming to individual responsibility. Your innovative ideas could then take shape in a concrete way.
Pisces (Jupiter and Neptune) : Neptune is at home in your sign, this summer it invites you to radiate your natural empathy, your good heart, your sensitivity and your intuition, while knowing how to set limits when necessary.
The signs related to summer remain Cancer and Leo. The Moon and the Sun, their masters, are the two Source planets which give the most of their light, and Venus brings them her help and her favors of love. Source Light remains inseparable from Love and summer always reminds us of its importance!
