• Venus into The Leo 7/11 11:19 AM.
• (Venus oppose Pluto)
• Mars conjunct Uranus 7/15 26°19’ Taurus.

“A lunatic lean-witted fool,
Presuming on an ague’s privilege,
Darest with thy frozen admonition
Make pale our cheek, chasing the royal blood
With fury from his native residence.”

And throw between them all the food thou hast,
They’ll grind th’ one the other.”

There is one tree, the phoenix’ throne, one phoenix
At this hour reigning there.”
