STRINGS OF APOLLO
ASTROLOGY

On July 24 the Moon conjoins the Sun at 2 Leo exactly opposite Pluto at 2 Aquarius, activating all of the outer planets. A significant new beginning in the Leo part of our charts is here.

The Capricorn full moon this year highlights the mysterious and intricate dance between Saturn, Neptune and their new host, Mars, who they’re slowly becoming acquainted with. When these two outer planets finally and perfectly conjoin in Aries in February 2026, the Temple of Mars will be Saturn’s home until 2028 and Neptune’s until 2039.

Hecate is a goddess much older than the Olympians. She aided Zeus in overthrowing his father, Cronus, and the Titans. Perhaps because she protected the birth of his new reign, even Zeus honored her. Goddess of crossroads, journeys, transitions — of the liminal space between death and life — Hecate holds power and guardianship over the darkest time of night: the hours right before dawn, the Sun’s emergence from the Underworld.
