Hello, Haight-Ashbury!
Did you know that the saying “the Dog Days of Summer” comes from ancient astronomers noting the return of Sirius, the Dog Star, to the Northern Hemisphere’s night sky? It’s true! I read it on the internet, and the internet doesn’t lie…
Anyway, in celebration of the hottest days of Summer (these ancient astronomers didn’t live in San Francisco I’m guessing), we’re going to look at where Sirius is in your chart:
Placed in mid-Cancer, Sirius is in your 3rd House, which rules communication, thinking, social activity … and neighbors! Perhaps this is why the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood has retained its vibe over the years: We’re a pack and we protect our own.
This feeling may be most evident in early July when the Sun meets up with Sirius, which could be a great time for a picnic or BBQ with your neighbors. (Hot dogs, anyone?)
Later in July, the Sun meets up with your natal Jupiter and the Cancer/Leo cusp… this could be a time to expand your emotional and romantic horizons.
Then, in mid-September, the Sun catches up with your natal Pluto and Uranus, which are opposite your natal Moon, Chiron, and Saturn. This could be a charged time, so be on the lookout for power-struggles, rebelliousness, and drama, especially ones you contribute to in your romantic relationships based on your own inner wounds.
As always, these energies are like the tides, and some of us will be more affected than others.
Have a great Summer, and we’ll chat again in the Fall. 🙂
