The information in this column is limited. It does
not replace your seeing your astrologer. If you know the sign of your
Moon and your Ascending sign, read those sections also. This information
is helpful because it mentions planets passing through your sign. These
do bring opportunities.
Special note: The emphasis this month is on the signs Leo, Virgo,
and Libra. Whatever we have in our own charts, we also become these
qualities temporarily. The Sun in weeks 1, 2, and 3 is in its own sign,
Leo. This means that power, confidence, and entertainment are in the
air ready to be tapped into by us. The Sun in week 4 and Mercury all
month are in the sign Virgo. Virgo is more that a virgin, it's an angel.
We should pursue our mission and seek out our noble side. Mercury in
Virgo is particularly clever and goes retrograde on the 20th and turns
direct again on the 12th of September. During this time a little extra
focus is necessary and during the entire time that Mercury is in Virgo,
27 July to 3 Oct, we could have a prolonged interest or concern. Venus
and Mars are in Libra moving fairly close together. This promotes creativity
and love. Saturn is near these two in weeks 1 and 2, this adds sensibleness
and restraint to the situation. We may tone down our stilletos a bit.
Mars near Saturn early in the month requires focus on safety and care
with fatigue.
We are in our 3rd month of the T square between Uranus and Jupiter
in Aries, Pluto in Capricorn, and Saturn. This T square is quite close
this summer and some planets among the group will be engaged for quite
a while. Let's take another look. It represents a great deal of energy
coming together, creative people can use this in their activities. In
the world, I'm being conservative by saying that the usual things that
happen, storms, floods, earthquakes etc., will continue to happen a
be somewhat worse. (So far we've had flash floods in Arkansas and Oklahoma,
a continuation of severe flooding in China, and the oil catastrophe
in the Gulf. And since the Icelandic volcano's first eruption happened
with an aspect between planets in some of these signs, this current
grouping of planets could stimulate more eruptions with resultant events.
In our own lives, some will be affected more that others. Those with
important planets in Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn will be affected
more that others. We all need to shape up and be sensible in our methods
and conservative with money. We need to be prepared to help those close
to us. We should not take unnecessary risks or count on luck. It's not
the best time to start things. Since conflict is shown by planets in
the sky, we can expect conflict in our lives. We can add Venus and Mars
to the mix in early August. Our actions should be well thought out and
sound and love needs more care. A huge thing that we all can do is express
in our lives the positive side of the planets and signs involved. Looking
at this order: Aries, Pisces, Jupiter, Uranus, Cancer, Libra, Saturn,
Capricorn, and Pluto we can do this: clarify our identities, pay attention,
maintain faith, solve problems, take care of home and family, love our
partners, be patient, set new goals, work in groups for good causes,
and become more dynamic and assertive. We should avoid overwork, impulse,
radicalism, and extremes. These things are easy to say and hard to do
but they make all of the difference. And our personal behavior does
effect larger events. On the positive side let's remember that Pluto
is trining the earth signs, Saturn in Libra trines the air signs, and
Jupiter trine the fire signs. These trines bring harmony and good. For
the record, Saturn is back in Libra until Oct '12 where it promotes
justice and Uranus goes back into Pisces from 13 Aug. to March 2011,
where it promotes discovery in metaphysics. A New Moon in Leo will happen
on the 9th and 10th. Here's a great time to make a new start in developing
power and allowing more enjoyment in our lives. A Full Moon in Pisces
happens on the 24th, 25th, and 26th. Vision and mission should be reviewed
and implemented.
Extra special note: I’m recommending that people read Covey, Dyer,
and Chopra during their birth month. They write about achieving success
and happiness and this is what the Sun is about in our charts. During
the birth month we have the opportunity to start a new cycle of success
and these authors have great ideas on how to do it. For those who want
to get in on the ground floor of understanding existence and self-improvement,
C.C. Zain’s Church of Light books will make you an astrologer and a
metaphysician. These books teach us that there is a supernatural dimension
in and around us that makes life subtle and interesting. And that Astrology
gives us helpful information in innumerable situations. And finally,
that we have the power to change our lives.
