March 2007Welcome to Chakra Astrology. This look reflects the wisdom of the ancients. Each sign is ruled by one of the 7 planets (stars) that can be seen in the sky with our eyes. From the top down, they are: Jupiter, the Moon, Venus, Mercury, the Sun, Mars and Saturn. These 7 planets equate with the 7 Chakras, which is reflected by the colors below. Each sign is color coded to match the Chakra it corresponds with.General forcast for March: The first few days of March are great for family, and financial planning. Charisma and charm are working for those soul families who keep the ties close and strong, and it leads to blessings and even positive publicity right now. For the first half of the month you may see many people trying to make oil and water work together, and some options might seem to work for a while. This is hopeful when getting opposing teams to work together, but remember that nothing can force them to blend forever, no matter how much we try. So keep the nature of what is and isn’t truly possible in mind when joining forces with others. You can save yourself later disappointment this way. March is Eclipse Month. 2007 Eclipse patterns put the focus on health and well being (Virgo) and it’s opposing counter point, spiritual balance and right relationship with Spirit (Pisces). The Full Moon on March 3/4 is a Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo (13′) indicating intense emotional release of some sort, as well as the revelation of something that has been kept secret. The New Moon on March 19 is a Solar Eclipse in Pisces (28′) indicating something suddenly being removed which leads to a new beginning. March Eclipses: Half of this Year’s annual Eclipse pattern takes place in March. This year’s Eclipse Theme is all about health, spirituality, service industries, employee rights and issues of religion and music, among other things. March 3/4 there is a total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, which may reveal hidden agendas surrounding those industries that are meant to be of service to us as a population. Also be aware of your pets, health, daily routines and any employees you may have – unexpected surprises are likely in these areas between Feb. and April. The Solar Eclipse on March 19 can take things or people away from us – especially public figures in the arenas of religion, spirituality, and music. This Eclipse theme speaks to spiritual awakenings and deepening of personal and spiritual service to our world and our community. The Academy Award nod for the Al Gore movie “An Inconvenient Truth,” is a perfect example.Get your free Chakra Astrology Teleclass series at: AstrologyChick.com Right Now! SAGITTARIUS (11/23-12/22) – Take a lesson from Britney and don’t let emotions get the best of you this month. With the Eclipses on your angles (and hers), emotional outbursts are not a good idea, but very tempting. Rebellion against authority figures will only cause you problems, and if you hold on long enough, you’ll be surprised at the opportunity that emerges out of this chaos. PISCES (2/21-3/20) – A complete transformation of your partnerships and alliances is scheduled now for you. This will be easier for those who have a level head and are able to keep emotional balance – a very difficult proposition now, but I know you can do it. Fear is the enemy, not people. The times may be changing, but I know you can roll with it gracefully and graciously, the presence of Venus in Pisces is a big help. CANCER (6/23-7/22) – If you talk about health and habits, it isn’t the same thing as actually doing it. Now is the time to put your heart where your words are and take action. You may feel called, or even compelled to teach or communicate with others on a much larger level, through some new group or educational affiliation. LIBRA (9/23-10/22) Oh dear, things really do feel off kilter now in your kingdom. Strange or unexplainable health issues are just as much a spiritual or energetic issue as they are physical. Entering into a deep relationship with the mystery of life is the only way to solve the unexplained. TAURUS (4/21-5/21) The Eclipses could reveal an opportunity for you, particularly one that causes you to become fruitful in some way, be it creatively or physically. Your social standing could also change and your status among your peers might suddenly be elevated or singled out for attention. This isis totally unexpected but opens up a huge opportunity for you. VIRGO (8/23-9/22) If you feel emotional and in need of expressing your deep inner self right now then pay attention; this is deep stuff. Everything about your ever day life and routines is in question now, and only you can decide where your priorities lie. Partnerships are also in flux, so don’t count on someone else to make things clear for you now. GEMINI (5/22-6/22) These changes effect your angles which can shake you on a very deep level. You might be in the middle of some very intense changes; of residence, of career and even perhaps a few changes of heart and costume. Don’t expect things to flow smoothly now, this is a part of you souls unfolding that won’t be nice and neat, all you can do is roll with it and give it time. LEO (7/23-8/22) – It’s all about Money for you right now. Your attention is on both your own money and that of other people – and how you can make use of it. You must either be resourceful now, or feel some intense pressure; maybe both. You can pull something amazing off though if you just focus your intention and make sure not to get in your own way. ARIES (3/21-4/20) For you the Eclipse pattern takes place in the arena that could give you dreams that are more intense than usual or even somewhat predictive. You may also be feeling a strong desire to clean up your health and eating habits – that’s a great idea and now is just the time to do it – especially if it includes an intestinal cleanse. SCORPIO (10/23-11/22) An offspring suddenly appears or has new life *this can just as easily refer to a creative project as anything else.* Social details are more thorny than expected, so be really careful to mind your manners in public; people are easily offended or likely to misunderstand your gestures. But you have a way of making use of all obstacles, and this is no different. AQUARIUS (1/22-2/20) How can you be of service to the most people possible? Answering that question thoroughly could very well unlock the mystery of how you are to make your fortune. By serving and making alliances with others of service you will find freedom, peace and fulfillment. The opportunity knocks, but will you be at home? CAPRICORN (12/23-1/21) A spiritual message is on it’s way to you, but only you have the magic decoder ring to unlock it’s meaning. In order to do so, you must delve into your own unconscious and interpret the signals it’s sending. Oh, and you might like to do a little redecorating while you are in there, make it a fun cozy place to be. Get your Weekly Horoscope Subscription HERE

this week Jan 19-25: The week begins with a Capricorn New Moon which asks us to spend the next 2 weeks building and imagining new structures and rules to live by. This can be anything from starting a new exercise program to setting a new work schedule for ourselves or creating steps and plans towards the achievement of a goal or ambition. We also transition out of Capricorn and into Aquarius which shifts the mood away from rules and order and towards our greater society, the groups and ‘clan’ that we belong to. Emphasis is still on the rules, but now we are all more concerned with the rules of society, fitting in with peers and the greater good than with individual work or achievement.

October 2006Welcome to Chakra Astrology. This look reflects the wisdom of the ancients. Each sign is ruled by one of the 7 planets (stars) that can be seen in the sky with our eyes. From the top down, they are: Jupiter, the Moon, Venus, Mercury, the Sun, Mars and Saturn. These 7 planets equate with the 7 Chakras, which is reflected by the colors below. Each sign is color coded to match the Chakra it corresponds with.General forecast for October: The biggest overall trend to remember right now is that we are experiencing a moment of good humor and higher ideals triumhing over lower natures and small mindedness on some deeply profound levels. This may not always be obvious or apparent in the moment, but this is the long-term outcome of any current challenges and crises. Just remember to keep your sense of humor – Read my last post: Studio 60, Saturn, the Devil and Divine Comedy to understand why! There are crises and there is conflict that continues from last month. The aspects through this fall are extremely challenging and destructive to many old, established systems. The hard questions and the hard problems face us impatiently. When there are no easy answers this results in pain and heartbreak in the world. The world faces such a time of reckoning now. Many people will be affected; those who will have the hardest time in these times are people who are not taking responsibility for themselves and their own well being. We are each being asked at this time to be responsible for our own needs – physically and spiritually – and not count on the company, the government, or even the health care system, the spiritual leader or financial advisor to have our best interests in mind. We must educate ourselves, and take actions for ourselves. Not all of October is horrible, but there are some very tough times here. And there are always people who succeed and prosper no matter how challenging their surroundings and circumstances. The difference is usually in an attitude, and preparedness. The good news is that in November we get some truly great and rare Astrological blessings – allowing us to recover and find hope and an inner light after the challenges of September and October.Ever wonder about Astrology that Works? Watch my Video on The Egg and the Equinox and then read about why Real Astrology uses 100%. Do you need help fighting depression? Sagittarius (11/23-12/22)– You are known for your bluntness, but this is one month when silence has more power than all the bulls in Pamplona. Goodness and kindness will triumph over pettiness and smallness of spirit, and they will do so much more quickly if you can stay out of the way. The showdown this month leaves true spiritual principles holding the reigns, so no matter how strong the temptation, don’t try to push the river. Pisces (2/21-3/19)– What is the confusion all about? Mostly it is about anything and everything that hasn’t been nailed down in concrete, tangible mutual agreements. Your hands are more than full fixing problems, so you’d best be sure that the system is fixed before you try to expand it, the last thing you want is for small problems to turn into big ones. Cancer (6/23-7/22)– This months Moon cycles focus on partnerships and the balance of power and resources within them. That which is out of balance must be addressed and reconciled. Deling with red tape, procedures and delving under the surface will bring powerful transformation and positive results to even the most challenging moments. Libra (9/23-10/22)– Needing partnership and railing against it at the same time, puts you in the position of hating what you love, or cutting yourself off from the thing you need most. Sure business is favored this month, but what good is it if your heart is conflicted? Now is the time to mend fences, broken hearts and stretched patience. Taurus (4/21-5/21)– Power dramas early in the month make this a bad time to start new things. Troubles melt away after the 11 th leaving you in the position to set up a long-term windfall and gain the active support you need to accomplish these goals. Not even that camping herd of elephant can stop you now. My money is on you taming them and going for a wild ride. Virgo (8/23-9/22)– Philosophical debate is not something that anyone is likely to be able to put aside this month, least of all you. Remember, point of view is changeable, the feelings in one’s heart are written in time. Mind is less important than soul. Argument, point of view and ideas are rocks that erode under the tide of spirit. Gemini (5/22-6/22)– You are right in the middle of a wildly swinging see-saw this month. And though you can almost always balance both sides of an argument, your stomach isn’t that strong. Sometimes the best way to solve problems is to get out of the way of them. You are light-footed enough to recognize when your exit cue arrives. Leo (7/23-8/22)– It’s not impossible that you might break into a rousing rendition of “we are family” now, as you gather your tribe of brethren around you. There are few things in life that make you feel more proud, connected and joyful than looking around and knowing you are where you belong – at the center of your tribe. Aries (3/21-4/20)– Even if you find yourself buried in dysfunction stew this month, you will have a knack for getting the words straight and deepening your rapport with allies and partners and striking long-term deals as long as you don’t allow yourself to become a player in the drama. What makes for good TV has unpleasant consequences in real life. Scorpio (10/23-11/22)– Trial by fire is an ultimate test of spiritual mettle. You are up to the challenge, especially if you remember that the ultimate yardstick isn’t against anybody else, but rather against your own highest self and spiritual principles. Spoken principles are put to the test now, and living them brings great satisfaction and rewards by months end. Aquarius (1/22-2/20)– To listen and to hear are two different things. Hearing requires going beyond the words and absorbing the message behind the syllables. Real hearing is not a function of the ears, but of the heart. Obstacles to communication this month allow you to discern the difference between the two and replace eardrums with heartbeats. Capricorn (12/23-1/21)– Hard work brings rewards. I’m sure that you’d like things to go a little smoother for you in the future, and to make that happen, then now is the time to show your kind and gentle side. I know it’s in there and the more you can make them laugh, the quicker problems will disappear – the ultimate weapon this month is good humor.

General forecast for September:

Every year there are at least two pairs of Eclipses, one Lunar and One Solar. The second half of these pairs takes place in September this year (the first half was in March). Sept 7 th is the Lunar Eclipse at 15′ Pisces and on Sept 22 nd we have the Solar Eclipse at 29′ Virgo. Together Virgo and Pisces represent the archetypes of service and spirituality, as well as pets, employees, drugs, and many of our financial and business dealings – including (but not limited to) property matters. The most relevant world affairs affected by these eclipses are matters of oil, religion and overseas business dealings . In retrospect, the oil crises began to be an everyday problem for every American back in March when prices began to skyrocket – during the first pair of Eclipses. Eclipse events are usually triggered when a planet crosses that degree within a few months ahead of or after the actual Eclipse takes place. Secrecy and matters of public or hidden information, as well as war and money are the main themes of the month.

The Lunar Eclipse: Mars – the god of War – opposed (past tense) this Eclipse degree on August 16 th . Matters of war become unsettled, and previously hidden information or agendas are revealed – and acted upon. Mercury opposes this Eclipse degree on Sept 5 th . Whatever is in the news is the theme of the Eclipse and reveals the issues and problems that have been triggered by it. Venus crosses (opposes) this eclipse degree on the 18 th . The effects of the mid-August Mars action now have residual effects on finances, money and business – something suddenly appears in plain view that relates to commerce, finance and financial value. Health and service industries are likely to be effected.

The Solar Eclipse: This is one of the most relevant dates all year for the US. This Eclipse takes place on the United States Neptune (Oil, Churches, foreign affairs, Real Estate, Forex, Commodities, and the Federal Exchange). Mars joined this Eclipse degree on August 27 th . This could represent a newsworthy hidden or secret military action on or around the 27 th . At the very least, passive aggressive and secretly treacherous behavior is amplified in the world. On Sept. 12 th Mercury joins this degree. News and motion related to earlier events are on the airwaves. Look for what is hidden, and read between the lines. Venus joins the ACTUAL Solar Eclipse on the 22 nd . It is more than likely that the US will experience an event that affects our economy, real estate, foreign affairs and oil business. Obviously such events are the crises that release the energy that has been building for many years around these areas. The Chinese see Crises as Chaos joined with Opportunity. Be prepared – opportunity exists for some, problems for others. The differences are in how prepared we are for the unexpected.

Do you need help fighting depression?

Aries (3/21-4/20)– You are deeply involved with the drama unfolding this month. Not only are you in the center of it all, but you may have to do a great deal about it all. Secret actions are very possible – which is not your usual MO. By the end of the month, you may find yourself questioning your leader or leadership – this could be the sign that it is time for you to step up and take the reigns yourself. Yaaargh, I smell mutiny.
Taurus (4/21-5/21)– You’re not usually in the same boat as Aries, but you find yourself on their team this month. Not only that, but you can use your sway over financial matters to pull off the unexpected or upturn an apple cart full of rotten Granny Smith’s. That’s one apple pie, I’ll be glad to miss out on.

Gemini (5/22-6/22)– You might want to follow your Aries, Taurus, Scorpio and Libra friends around with a camera to capture all the action. Well, on second thought, you may need to follow everyone around to capture it all. Just keep your recording tools handy. There will be plenty to capture and people won’t believe it all without evidence.

Cancer (6/23-7/22)– This month, perhaps your Moods need a ‘League of their own’ – to make room for your deeply felt and held convictions. Convictions are interesting, they have a way of turning into a sentence if not examined frequently. The Universe is giving you the keys to commute your sentence and get out of your own convictions – even if change is uncomfortable, it creates freedom.

Leo (7/23-8/22)– Something or someone is so completely filled with emotion that you will just HAVE to listen to them. I hope so at least. Dismissing or ignoring apparently irrational people will only lead to violence – and I don’t think you want that. No matter how much you disagree with them, you’ve got to admire conviction and passion.

Virgo (8/23-9/22)—Partnerships are anything but smooth and routine now. Don’t expect anything to sail smoothly, as secrets are revealed and intrigue amplified. With more plot twists than a murder mystery dinner theatre; what’s really going on is anyone’s guess. I wouldn’t even count on the living room couch to be as it seems right now.

Libra (9/23-10/22)– “Let them eat Cake’ was Marie Antoinette’s famously flip remark when the French peasants rioted in the streets for food. There is something surreal going on this month that recalls the days of French excess that led to Marie’s famous moment. Are you Marie, King Luis XVI or the peasants who had their heads?

Scorpio (10/23-11/22)– What do our fantasies say about us? And what do our friend’s fantasies say about them? We can over-indulge in all matters, including our thoughts and fantasies. Decadence is most interesting when it is turned upside down – as it is this month. It’s like living in a Rorschach test.

Sagittarius (11/23-12/22)– Inshallah is an Arab saying that means ‘God willig.’ It is also the term used to describe Iraqi soldiers who shoot from the hip without training or aim. Of course you always want god to be willing and helpful and on your side, but a little skill is the insurance you can provide for yourself, after that all will go well: Inshalla.

Capricorn (12/23-1/21)– In the midst of all the topsy-turvy of the world a single note of clarity rings through, It is the clarity of someone who can give an order with conviction and create some form of unity and momentum behind them. You have it in you to ring the clarion call to clarity and to leverage the pressure towards a great change of momentum. Seize it or lose it.

Aquarius (1/22-2/20)– How many Aquarii does it take to screw in a light bulb? Whom ever doesn’t get electrocuted. We said screw in a light bulb, not light up a screwball. Please remember to read the directions carefully and then – uncomfortable as it may be for you – follow them! It will save you endless dry cleaning bills.

Pisces (2/21-3/19)– There’s a reason that ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ made so much money. The dark, mysterious and treacherous unknown currently fascinates us. But make no mistakes, dreams and reality have very different textures, and what is entertaining in imagination is far less appealing in real life.

August Zodiac Horoscope from Astrology Chick 2006

In early August, more creative solution finding is in order. In the first week of August the Sun tangles with Saturn and Uranus, which could lead to a very public humiliation of a recognized authority figure or leader, bad reputations and scandal abound in this atmosphere – some of which has even been earned by the accused. The Sun-Saturn Eclipse in the First week of August is a warning to all of us. Be wary of institutions of control and domination. My best suggestion is not to sign or start anything important until the 13th The first half of the month is filled with battles of control and power, do I even need to mention the Middle East Crisis? Unresolved and overlooked problems make themselves so very obvious that unless heads are in deep quicksand they will require being dealt with – or backlash will ensue. Perhaps the best thing I can say about this month’s influences is that when systems break down, true leaders find themselves jumping in to rebuild. People in those types of businesses will fare best in August with many opportunities to pick up leftover pieces.

Business opportunities present themselves in the first half of August especially in the areas of patents, Intellectual properties and marketing. But contracts signed this month are better for short-term commitments, not long-range ones – unless they deal with the public or celebrities. Somehow this Month, the geeks have it, and the world finds them sexy (at least more so than usual). So break out your black-rimmed glasses and pocket protectors!

Escalating oil and cost of living prices will hurt some long-term investments by the end of the month. The cost of a head of lettuce begins to get out of hand – this is a good time to plant your own! Precariously balanced structures can’t bear the strain after the 20th. The end of August brings big challenges; I don’t like the earthquake planets (both literally and metaphorically) – forewarned is forearmed. Now is the time to have a crisis plan prepared and do what you can to protect your stability.

Aries (3/21-4/20)– This challenging Saturn Eclipse could actually land you with a promotion, upgrade or other recognition of your hard work and value. But it may come on the heels of problems left by someone else. The best news for you is that all month Mars hangs out in well-behaved, healthy and restrained Virgo. A new exercise or health program would work wonders for you this month, and Virgo’s influence may even curb the enthusiasm for war in the Middle East. End Aug with long-range solutions, you will be able to see the forest AND the trees then.

Taurus (4/21-5/21)– Teamwork, timing and organization gets it done in August, so build up your connections and don’t for a minute think that you could or should do it alone. Mid August is the time to solve nagging problems and limitations. August 13 is a day filled with such a huge and intense amount of information and busy-ness that you need a rest after it all! The world might seem to have gone topsy-turvy – at least temporarily. Try to remember that chaos precedes clarity and direction and take advantage of the fuss by taking care of yourself. When Venus joins Saturn on the 26th-27th a sense of restriction, budgets and limitations prevail. So squirrel away your money early in the month to provide a needed cushion at month’s end.

Gemini (5/22-6/22)– Timing and planning is everything for August opportunities. Budgets and strategies are most important now, especially if you intend to find a way to succeed in the currently unstable environment. You’re both in the chips – and in the middle of all the action around August 12-13. The scenario I imagine has you sitting at a high stakes poker table for 30+ hours straight while an entire revolution takes place on the TV screen. You are mesmerized by the events, but glued to your winning hands. After you win the tournament, you step out into a much-changed world and face a set of unexpected hurdles later in the month as personal problems or connection to difficult events arrives in your own living room. Set those extra chips aside for a while and wait for a good opportunity to use them.

Cancer (6/23-7/22)– Full Moon/New Moon: Aug 9 Aquarius/Aug 23 Virgo. Some shared responsibility ends in Early Aug leading to new neighbors, co-workers or news about siblings. If you choose to make a move the first week of August is NOT a good time to start a financial commitment or job, unless of course you enjoy the idea of becoming a slave to your job/car payment/mortgage/ fill-in-the-blank. You are much better off waiting another week – a few days of limbo could actually be fun after all, especially when playing the Mambo…. The New Moon in Virgo should bring psychological healing to a communication issue or problem that has been plaguing you. Perhaps you could even resolve some sibling rivalry or problems with co-workers or neighbors. Everybody needs a little bundle of love at home, is it time for a new Pet?

Leo (7/23-8/22)– Take extra care in early August, I don’t like to scare anybody, but this Saturn Eclipse is very nasty – so take extra steps to safeguard yourself, and your image. Your reputation could get tarnished, or at the very least people are inclined to misinterpret you this week and forgiveness is hard to get. Depending on your actual Birth Date, problems could range from trouble sleeping to an unexpected betrayal or act of underhanded aggression from someone to your own self-driven attitudes taking you to the edge of your own limitations. Now is a very good time to examine those driving, controlling and unkind voices and do the hard work of exorcising them from your life and your inner consciousness. Fortunately you have loved ones around you and family is supportive late August. Loving kindness heals all.

Virgo (8/23-9/22)— Enlist financial support early August, but wait to sign contracts. A deal with a ‘big gun’ is promising, but pay close attention to any strings that come attached to the deal. Bigger isn’t always better, especially when the ‘big’ guy wants to push the ‘little guy’ around. Bullying in all forms is rampant in the world in the first week of August, so be on guard. You can get the support and teamwork you need though, especially if you protect your status and value, placing an accent on good service, health and well-being, as you usually do. Sometimes those who work hard and care for others must demand respect for it – and this might be the case for you in August. Take extra care after Aug 19 – new beginnings are delicate.

Libra (9/23-10/22)– Worries, concerns over career only limit you – think bigger. If anyone has an awareness of the problems uncovered by the Saturn Eclipse early in August it is you, and you have some solutions in mind too. It is time to put your famous diplomacy to the test – because now it is sorely needed. And you can really shine as the peacemaker and bridge builder, especially through calm negotiation and discussion. Of course, you’ll have to carry a gun to the shootout, but I know you, and you will be able to charm them all into putting down their weapons. Don’t sign up for more work than you can (or should) handle around the 26th-27th when pressures are at their toughest.

Scorpio (10/23-11/22)– Your star is rising in August – keep your energy up to meet the demands on your time – people will listen and give you respect. But be careful about it too, the sword of Damacles cuts both ways. You may have truth, power and the law behind you, but if you don’t wield it carefully you could get cut yourself. Information, knowledge and wisdom of a deeper level is probably moving through you into the world now; but giving birth to such a thing may be very painful. Make sure you take plenty of time for yourself and your own needs. Even when Jonah was taking down the whale he rested for a minute or two on occasion. You’ll get your whale, no doubt about it.

Sagittarius (11/23-12/22)– The Saturn Eclipse won’t really hurt you, actually, it could provide you with rewards for past efforts and a sudden status item or goodie. Just don’t be unsympathetic to the problems of others. What may appear as great good luck and opportunity for you now, may also come at the expense of someone else. I’m not saying you shouldn’t take it, I am just reminding you to give back and remember next time the roles could be reversed, After Aug 8 you’re on a roll with teammates and you all get a lot done. Communication/short trips are rewarding mid August. Your optimism and way of expressing yourself is well-received now too, so you can influence people and get things done. Finish up public/internet projects by the end of August for best results.

Capricorn (12/23-1/21)– Early Aug. brings pressure from an imposing personality and possible ownership conflicts. But you’re no pushover, and the Eclipse shows you how to speak out and be taken seriously – especially if this has been difficult for you in the past. Either that or you find yourself at a crises point where you absolutely have no other choice than to deal with critical or cruel inner dialogue and be done with it once and for all. This could be caused by crisis, but will lead to healing. Be careful in communication and negotiations as August ends. A one-man-band focus will not work now, you must look at the needs of the many if you intend to get anywhere.

Aquarius (1/22-2/20)– Early August may not be a picnic for you, but you will get thgouth it by the 13th. Karmic partnership issues are on the table for you before that, and you can resolve them with a good attitude or a bad one. Taking responsibility for yourself and your actions will free you from the Karmic burden Saturn represents now. Otherwise, challenges get compounded. But the good news is that you finally begin to be able to break through the big obstacles by the end of the month. Aug. ends with you able to get a message out in a large way, you could even sway the masses.

Pisces (2/21-3/19)– Something connected to your business dealings or shared finances create an impassable obstacle in early August. Issues and questions of authority and control emerge now. Try to remember that the only useful control is that which provides more freedom for more people. A clash of wills or power struggle is not going to serve you or anybody else in the long run. A specific career opportunity peaks late July/early August, Aug 10 is a day when long-term plans flower, use it wisely. After the flower something begins to go to seed.

Well of course there is always something disturbingly familiar about getting older every year, but that’s not quite the Deja Vu that I am talking about. This year those Leo’s born before August 13 – will experience the effects of Retrograde Mercury in their Birthday Chart and this will have a major impact on the next Solar year (the year between Birthdays) of your life.

Each year is a new page in life. On the day near your birthday (sometimes a few hours before, and sometimes a few hours after) the Sun returns to the exact degree in the sky where it was when you were born. If you were born at 9 degrees 18 minutes of Leo, then your Solar Return happens in the day, hour and minute when the Sun Returns to 9 degrees 18 minutes of Leo. The entire impact of a Solar Return happens over the course of about 5 days; two preceding the return to 9″18″ Leo and two following it, plus the actual day of the Return.

These 5 days are very powerful and potent. You can – and should use them to set an intention for the whole next year of your life. Take some time to meditate or walk alone and contemplate what you want to do, be and accomplish this year. The influences will be felt for the entire next year of your life. It is as if the Universe has handed you a set of tools and materials and said. “Here are your resources for the next 12 months – do what you can with them.” But of course, it is up to you to use them constructively. We can use an electric saw to build a house, or we can use it to cut down the only bridge into town. The choice is ours.

This year almost all of the Leo’s in the world will feel the impact of the Retrograde Mercury in their Solar Return Chart. This makes it a very unusual and important year for Leo’s. You have been handed a special tool to use this year called Retrograde Mercury. It is up to you how you use it! But there will definitely be a set of experiences that come along with this tool. It is different to use an electric saw than it is to use a set of knitting needles! I can promise you that this is true, since I have used both of these. But don’t underestimate knitting needles – they were the subject of a rather nasty murder fantasy scene on ‘Desperate Housewives,’ and Airlines will no longer allow them on board a commercial flight. So much for harmless fun! In fact it would be easier to smuggle a power saw onto your next flight.

What has this got to do with you? A lot. This year Leo’s have been handed a set of knitting needles. And your thoughts (Mercury) will determine what those needles create. This particular set is kind of boomerang shaped, and will bring things back to you. You know how a boomerang works right? The harder you throw it away from you, the faster and more furiously it returns. This year your thoughts and beliefs will operate in much the same way. People from the past return. Old conversations come back around. And the feelings that you have towards others land back in your own lap. It’s Deja Vu, all over again.

When contemplating writing this message for you I was shown two animals – these are the Totems representing the energy you will confront this year. First is the Mountain Lion – much like your Leo symbol. This is showing me that you must face any fears, questions and issues that stand in the way of you taking a position of leadership. Lead with your heart, find your courage and speak your truth. Issues of power and abuse of power may confront you. Your job is to be a leader, hold compassion (especially for those who attack you) and act with the utmost respect for yourself and all living things. Above all, do not fall into the trap of stooping to the level of petty tyrants – even if they plague you at every turn. Yes, you may very well have to deal with a syndrome that I call PTS – Petty Tyrant Syndrome. The other side of this coin is that by rising above PTS, can can will rightfully magnetize your proper community and tribe of people around you. And there is power in numbers.

The second totem is Raven. This is power, sorcery and magic. Something of great mystery, the unknown and mysticism is possible – in fact it is necessary for you this year. Raven asks you to confront any fears that you project outwardly onto others, and demystify them. Confront your inner demons. Be ready to experience and embrace the magic and mystery in life. A super consciousness experience is very likely, and such a moment will change and open your entire outlook on the world and how it really works. It’s through the looking glass for you my friend! And if Up is Down and down is Left, then what is Right? The only possible answer to that question is: whatever lights up your heart and makes you feel joy, love and courage. The great gift of Raven is to remind you that miracles are everywhere; especially now. Never give up on your dreams or destiny.

So we can boil it down to a few key elements for your year: pride vs courage/compassion and fear vs magic. Living in the realm of courageous and compassionate magic is the sweet spot for you Leo’s for the next 12 months. May tenderness, joy and self-respect rain down upon you this year and bring you the tribe of cubs that rightfully belong in your Lion’s Den!

General forecast for July:
July begins with a great deal of powerful synergy in the air which provides useful opportunities to put financial plans into motion as well as starting marketing or publicity campaigns. The whole first week of the month provides opportunity for those who are organized, prepared and geared up to take action. Don’t bite off more than you can chew though, and having powerful systems and support in place will allow you to take opportunity by the horns.

This month, a lot of the money lies in creating combined efforts with others and making plans to utilize resources, property, patents, copy writes and other income generating inventory.

As challenging as June was, July is able to provide an equal and opposite level of opportunity and growth. Usefulness will be felt most strongly through combined efforts and synergy with others of like mind. Now is definitely the time to join together with people who share your goals and begin getting your ideas and plans into motion. Great opportunities for career advancement or business growth emerge in Mid July especially for Cancer, Sag and Aquarius types.

Believe it or not; the Retrograde of Mercury (July 4 through 28) can actually help you with this. As Mercury makes his moon walk in Cancer along side the Sun we find ourselves able to re assess and figure out what we need and how we need to accomplish this. There are also opportunities to revise business and career plans that come along with the territory. USA planets are affected which means as a country we find ourselves able to revise, change and fix problems that have emerged in the last few years: the oil crisis for example. This is a time when I expect to see solutions, innovations and the needs of the public taking precedence. Perhaps we can look forward to alternative fuels and technologies coming to our attention as well. Let’s hear it for creative problem solving! This month true genius makes it’s presence felt, hopefully it is appreciated and put to work!

Aries (3/21 to 4/20) Finances and longterm commitments/investments are unpredictable in early July. Month”s end and early Aug finds you on a roll; optimistic and energetic; you get things done (you’re sexy too; serious fireworks around the 31st). Towards the end of July you have serious opportunities to make power alliances and join the movers and shakers of the world to “get it done”. I’d lay odds that you’ll come out a winner sooner than later; especially on any speculation or new business plans.

Taurus (4/21 to 5/21) Start July by launching your important cash generating ideas/plans for success. After 7/10 you are nearly untouchable, synergy/support is on your side; use it. Limit expense/fantasy at end of July. But you can enlist the support and assistance of your friends all month, especially with the hard work you’ve been doing; do not try that heavy lifting all by yourself! Get help; hire it if you have to!

Gemini (5/22 to 6/22) This Rx Mercury (7/4 through 28) stresses personal power and it”s use. Success is within reach; by solving people”s problems. The lesson of this Retrograde is all about, business, residual income, property, patents, minerals, and; especially; whatever has captured your imagination. Learn to Master you Mind and get it to work for you now; and there will be no stopping you later. This is a good time to study or learn a new strategy. 7/15 through 19 are super powerful dates for you. Family and Business responsibilities emerge at July”s end.

Cancer (6/23 to 7/22) This Month”s Full Moon/New Moon pair takes place at 10 Capricorn and 24 Leo. Obstacles/burdens in relationships clear in Early July. Month’s end brings financial revisions & new starts. The Stars are asking you to look at your feelings and how they motivate you with this Retrograde Mercury in Cancer. Look into your Subconscious for lasting answers and solutions to problems; especially emotional ones.

Leo (7/23 to 8/22) Identity/career confusion or review is possible – especially July 1-10/Aug 11 to 13. You’re beyond the reach of most problems in early July, but timing is extra important still. Ideas/plans swirl like fog mid/late July; how to see through it is the challenge. Uranus to Saturn aspects remind you to pay attention to the needs of humanity, the public; or at the very least your peer group. There are challenges and problems there; and as a team you are all much more powerful than you are alone.

Virgo (8/23 to 9/22) Dreams and your social life have important messages. Is it time to contribute to humanity in a bigger way? If you have nourishment/nurturing to give; now is the time. 7/15-19 give large scale opportunities; think BIG. Connecting to an emotional appeal or deep-seated need in the mass consciousness may leave you with a whole new sense of life direction, No matter how you slice it, there is wisdom in feelings, groups, community and the needs of your family; for best results, stay connected to it.

Libra (9/23 to 10/22) Like Taurus you have many opportunities for money this month, and also to express and deepen values. Share ideas, plans, take short trips in early July. After 7/19 align outer world with deeper feelings, needs and connect to home. Worries, concerns over career only limit you; think bigger. Some challenging thoughts or emotions are likely to emerge this month around your family. Perhaps a problem that you have been avoiding can finally be resolved this now; I know you can do it.

Scorpio (10/23 to 11/22) Public opinion or needs is the biggest thorn in your side in early July. Opportunity presents itself for teaching,/travel or overseas connections now. I certainly hope you have plans to make good use of the great reception that you are getting now. People are inclined to like you, respect you and listen to you. This does not happen every day, so make the most of it. In fact, you are in a brilliant position to make long-term plans, business deals and personal strategies permanent, Go make those “big deals”; they have got your name on them.

Sagittarius (11/23 to 12/22) Guarded optimism is still the best approach, as June problems get resolved. Save important decisions until July 24 to 27. Weather you realize it or not, you have a lot of information coming to you from a secret source; maybe even dreams, or maybe it’s an inside line on the scoop. Either way, this is your most valuable asset; so make sure that you use it; a lot! Later degree Sag’s (born around the 18 to 20th) will feel extremely invigorated; which is best used for athletic (not angry) pursuits at the end of July.

Capricorn (12/23 to 1/21) Organized timing is the focus as July begins. You should be able to get career/work matters in order early July. Your mind is sharp, and you”re not missing any detail. Late July/early Aug brings pressure from an imposing personality, possible ownership conflicts. Getting all your facts straight and staying “on the ball” keeps you in the drivers seat. You have to know how the rules work, in order to make them work FOR you; and that includes the rules of Karma. A little inner development could go a very long way now.

Aquarius (1/22 to 2/20) Organization is key, find ways to cut down on manpower in early July. Using good timing at months end allows new solutions to old problems. You finally begin to be able to break through the big obstacles. Strategize, prioritize, and make your plan and then when the moment is just right: pounce. And then like a hunting feline, you will have your prey just where you want them (probably either in the bank or in the bedroom). Enjoy!

Pisces (2/21 to 3/19) Avoid competition or interference early July. Pressure begins to ease after the 18th. A specific career opportunity peaks late July/early August, Aug 10 is a day when long term plans flower, use it wisely. Focusing on the small stuff will distract you from what matters and where you would be more effective. Take the big picture approach and remember, its not so much a matter of winning this battle; but rather a matter of having a long-range endgame in mind. Ultimately it is the whole war that you want to win.
