Our world is on the cusp of change, according to the Astrological markers. Right now, as of the end of July 2010 we have the following planets on the edge or going over the edge of one sign in to another: Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune, Jupiter and Mars.

People are often confused about the cusp of a sign. We think that we are a ‘watered down’ version of the sign if we are born on the cusp. For example, one woman I met said “Oh, I’m two signs.” “Oh really?” I pressed her for clarification, she said that since she was born on November 22nd she was both Scorpio and Sagittarius. I had to clarify for her that this isn’t really how it works. I explained to her that it is necessary to actually examine your NATAL CHART in order to know which sign you were really born under – since this changes a bit from year to year – those general guidelines you find in books aren’t really accurate. On top of this, I had to also explain to her that at the end and the beginning of each sign is when it is MOST INTENSE. There is no such thing as a watered down hybrid between the two. Other planets in your NATAL CHART may modify this – but not the Sun. The Sun for her was either intensely Scorpio or intensely Sagittarius – not both and not half of each! After speaking to her for 2 minutes it was pretty obvious to me that she was a SAGITTARIUS and not a Scorpio. She was just too bubbly and lighthearted to be an intense Scorpio type, but she was an intense Sag type.

The world is experiencing something very similar right now. With so MANY planets changing costumes, as it were, this year, we are under nothing less than an entire RE-casting of the world players in our lives. The changes are radical, they are dramatic and even though it happens gradually, like the waves changing from High tide to low tide – it is still both unstoppable and irreversible. You see, when a planet changes from one sign to the next, it often turns around and revisits the past sign again through it’s retrograde motion. Most people are familiar with Retrograde Mercury, but ALL planets turn retrograde at some point or another – except the Sun and the Moon.

Right now, Saturn is finally RETURNING to Libra, he entered Libra last year, then changed directions and went back into Virgo, and now is making his final and permanent change into the Libra energy. The other cusp planets – Uranus, Neptune, Jupiter and Chiron – are or will go through something similar. These are also ALL planets that effect group and social level dynamics, including family. None of them are personal planets. What this means is that society is going through a revision. It will not be the same when we come out the other side (about 12-18 months from now).

These changes started back in 2009 – remember the stock market crash? This was just one of a series of deep-level changes that are taking place. The short version of what these changes are about and what they mean at the big picture level is that the post-modern society is changing radically. Many people still don’t see this (although I find it hard to understand HOW people can cling to illusions of the past when change is so obvious to me).

People will need to work together in groups. We are getting ready to experience disruptions to the flow of goods. Local will be better. Teams will be better (and necessary). More earth disruptions are happening. It will different in different places, but being closer to nature will be hugely important.

Specifics for each person are as individual as you are, and can’t be addressed in this article. These are just guidelines to help people think towards the future and plan for it. Individual forecasts must be looked at privately. In the meantime, be ready to make a new kind of life, and embrace a deeper level of connection to your environment and community – because this is where things are headed.

One of my Facebook friends asked me this question today, and I thought it would make a good Blog post for anyone interested in such things. This post is longer than on Facebook, I’ve gone into more detail here.

QUESTION: what are the astrological happenings today? I’ve heard that today is a very special day for buddhists and theres alot of good karma floating around. same source told me acts of kindness today will be extremely beneficial, more effective than at other times. want to pick your brain about the western astrology perspectiv…e. I’m wondering what the christians and jews and hindus and muslims and scientists are saying too. I guess I’ll have to ask them. xxx

ANSWER: Well first I have to set you straight on a few things you are assuming that aren’t correct. I practice Magi Astrology – after a lifetime of study this is the most accurate system i have found – bar none. This is more Eastern AND Western combined. We look at more than any other system. The Magi were the Wise men in the Bible who identified the Birth of Christ. (By a Jupiter – Saturn Eclipse).

I also have to take exception with any system that teaches you to get ‘brownie points’ by taking ‘good’ actions. In actuality this is NOT the Buddhist point of view. The Buddhists are far more likely to suggest that you misunderstand your Dharma if you seek to gain advantage by doing ‘good’. In the purest sense, Buddhism does not actually believe in good and bad. And your Dharma is not about doing something in order to achieve a reward – it asks you to DO because it is true to your soul, your path and who you are.

My own many past life (and current life) associations with the mysteries of Tibetan Buddhism make me want to show you a truer perspective on what Buddhism is really about. One such mystery that many don’t know about is the time that Jesus spent in Tibet. Also, deeply hidden in the life of Christ AND Buddhism is the lost respect of the Divine Feminine – now re-emerging on the planet after a long persecution.

Just some background on where I am coming from; I currently live in the Blue Ridge Mountains – perhaps the oldest Mountain range on the planet, and probably once attached to the Himalayas of Tibet. On this farm we raise Tibetan Mastiffs – one of the oldest breeds known to man. about 50% of all current dog breeds came from this breed of dog. They are considered sacred to the Tibetans, who see them as re-incarnated enlightened Tibetan Monks. They were around at the time of Christ, and the whole lineage was in fact blessed by Christ. I live with 8 of them.

But, from a purely Astrological point of view – we have left the good days of the month behind us and even though the 19th and 20th have a couple of good-feeling things going on, it is likely to have too much delusion associated with it.

In my experience it is not a good idea to shop around for spirituality or some words that seem like a good idea. Finding and following a true path requires a deeper level of authenticity than that. You must know yourself in order to recognize the information that is accurate. You will only confuse yourself and ultimately cause yourself harm if you go seeking a million different spiritual perspectives (this includes the Church of Science too)

It was written above the doorway of the Oracle at Delphi “Above all else, know thyself.” This is one of the things that Astrology is MOST useful for

July 15-21 2010

HOTTEST DATE NIGHT – the 15th – take your sweetheart out and have a nice dinner. After that this week just plain get’s weird and unless you like things kinky, keep your personal time, private.

Aries
Things are getting stirred up for you as you feel the heat of cross-dressing Uranus moving into your neighborhood. If you secretly like it, I won’t tell anyone. But don’t blame me if your normal routines come tumbling down when secret sauciness gets noticed.

Taurus
Your long-distance fantasy might become more real to you this week. As they say, be careful what you wish for – a flirtation from afar is nice and safe and non-threatening but will you be ready when they call your bluff? After that, are you prepared to face a reality that isn’t as glossy and airbrushed as the brochure?

Gemini
Some people like to be bossed around in bed – that’s why your local Dominatrix has a job. Perhaps you are trying to take over her territory? You’re sure doing a good job of the bossing around part – just add 6 inch lace-up thigh high stiletto boots and you’re all set for a new career.

Cancer
You might want to spend the weekend hiding from your stalker. May I suggest you head for Nepal, New Delhi or somewhere equally unappealing to the sexually obsessive types. Unless of course, it is YOU who enjoys a sexual obsession now and then, in this case, I suggest you go straight to Hollywood – they’re waiting for you.

Leo
Don’t get blindsided by someone’s uncharted sexuality. A flirtation is all well and good, just be careful not to take it so seriously when you have no idea where they are coming from. Don’t assume that someone else has the same sexual ideas that you do.

Virgo
If your lover becomes too expensive, then it’s time to come up with some new strategy to either make your cash go farther, or get a less expensive social life. I hear there’s a pretty hot social scene at Wal-Mart in isle 5 on a Friday night. Just watch out for the ‘made in Taiwan’ label.

Libra
You know those tunes that the DJ was spinning at the local hot spot? Well they were actually warning bells. Take this week to have one last dance in the rain, before you step to one side and avoid a scene. Maybe you’ll meet someone cute as you watch the drama unfold.

Scorpio
Longing and passion are often closely tied together. Fortunately for you, you are capable of subverting both until they reach the point when you just can’t contain them any more. There is something percolating beneath the surface that you may not yet be aware of, but when it rises to the surface – watch out! Sizzle and pop!

Sagittarius
Sure, fine, ok, great, no problem! These are a few of your favorite phrases. This makes you very popular with the ‘use em then lose them’ crowd, which isn’t good for your morale. I suggest you get a little more discerning about who you share your (sexual) favors with. Appreciation should be a prerequisite.

Capricorn
Be prepared for all your ideas about someone to be overthrown. That light flirtation is likely to blow you out of the water and put a ring on your finger overnight. On the other hand, the iron-clad romance you thought you could take to the bank ends before you can say, “Do you know where I put my underwear?”

Aquarius
Someone’s got their panties in a bunch, and not in a flirtatious way. This battle has gone way past the point of being sexy. Now what are you going to do? Well, like I always say, ‘If you can’t charm ‘em, disarmarm ‘em with lipstick and lingerie. Time to break out the heavy artillery.

Pisces
There’s no use fighting over who makes the best lingerie – Fredericks of Hollywood or Victoria’s Secret. Like the butchers shop, they are all venues for displaying padded meat. It doesn’t really matter which one you choose, all of it floats in a hot tub.

July 8-14 2010 The Solar Eclipse on the 11th makes for a week of disappearances. It’s human nature to want what we can’t have – so when a romantic interest makes themselves scarce, it often leads to nostalgia or obsession. Now is the time to either let go for good or reunite with passion.

HOTTEST DATE NIGHT – The 11th, but be prepared for things to NOT go as expected. If you prefer more stability with your romance, then opt to wait until after the 12th to stir the romantic fires.

Aries
Is it better to have loved and lost or is it better to hold out for something that isn’t second rate? Try to remember that true love isn’t so smooth that it bores you. And passion isn’t so hot that it burns you. There’s a middle ground my dear, halfway between a yawn-a-thon and a blistering scorch-fest.

Taurus
We’ve all got baggage, but it doesn’t always serve us. If you can resolve the past then you have the hope of being able to move on (and past) whatever has held you back. It’s time to let go, or else you’re in danger of becoming that person that drowns after the plane crash because they were trying to rescue their Luis Vuitton luggage.

Gemini
Hmm, the object of your obsession is not an easy nut to crack. Is it the thrill of the chase you are after, or something real? If it is real, it will stick, otherwise it will melt like an ice-cube in the sun, leaving behind nothing but a mirage in the desert – also known as Las Vegas.

Cancer
YOU are on someone’s mind. Someone you left in the dust. I guess you need to decide if they’ve been punished enough yet, or if you need to break out your whips and chains and call them ‘slave’ in your most demanding dominatrix/dominator tone of voice. This game will go on as long as you let it.

Leo
Loss, longing, nostalgia. These are all emotions you flatly refuse to acknowledge. This is why you are feeling sapped of energy and exhausted. If you just ‘fess up and admit that you are still carrying a torch for that special someone, your energy will return and you’ll know exactly what you need to do. Knowing what you want at least gives you the jump on the competition.

Virgo
If you’re feeling like the last girl at the dance without a partner, don’t. Before you give up on love and romance once and for all, put a better spin on it. Maybe all you need is a night out with your pals dressed like an 80′s hair band and singing bad Karaoke.

Libra
You can’t possibly be content to be an appendage in someone else’s life can you? It’s time to break loose and listen to your own drummer – no matter how spastic he may be. You get to breakdance to your own personal truth. You’ll start a trend.

Scorpio
The difference between a spiritual revelation and religion is the chemicals involved. Your brain is a pharmacy, and anything that is compulsive or hypnotic leads to dependency. Your soul is calling for freedom – break free and fly like the phoenix. Then build a bonfire and dance around it in the moonlight as you burn the chains to the past.

Sagittarius
You can’t control this one, you’ll have to just let go. Release. Emptiness. Void. Rebirth and finally Renewal. Like a clean chalkboard, the writing of the next chapter is up to you. The good news is that if you really did clean that chalkboard, then anything and everything (and everyone) is possible.

Capricorn
Someone is playing ‘hide the cheese’ and it’s not you. This leaves you feeling confused and unclear where you stand in a relationship. Here’s a hint: if you can’t get a clear understanding before you hand over your heart, then hand over the cheese instead.

Aquarius
You can no longer take your ‘routines’ for granted, someone is creating a disruption and there’s not a lot you can do about – besides giving them a swift kick to the shins. Since social custom removes that option, maybe you should try courting their competition?

Pisces
If you focus too intensely on a lover, child or creative project you are bound to drive them away. There’s certainly something to be said for unavailability. It sounds like a game, until the moment when the chaser and the chasee get all caught up in each others charms – then it all seems worth it.
