Happy Birthday J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter! This year, it's fitting that today would be their birthdays because the following seems to be the case:

Pencil Sharpener : Sharpened Pencil
-as-
Current Astrological Transits : Mind


Those who really enjoy the mental side of life are waking up to the beginning of some phenomenal transits. Brilliant flashes of intuition, sudden greater understandings, and hard-earned discoveries becomes a theme of the next 30 days or so. It's a great time for intellectual research, learning, and creative discoveries. If yesterday didn't, today should kick that theme off with a bang. Look forward to a stimulating one.

Another big transition shifts some expansive opportunities from home and family matters towards more self-oriented goals, such as personal ambitions or just that good ol' pursuit of happiness. This is an influence that lasts for about an entire year. It's time to shine, baby.
If you pay attention, you will notice some kind of shift having occurred, beginning yesterday. This shift has to do with departments of our lives that are experiencing renewed abundance. While this is highly individual and will be many different things for many different people, we might generally expect to see new opportunities for building self-confidence, self-expression, creativity, entrepreneurialism, teaching, and/or leadership over the next year, with at least a little taste or symbol of this appearing in our lives as early as yesterday.



Wednesday, July 30th


It's another big, big day in the cosmos. Those who really enjoy the mental side of life are waking up to the beginning of some phenomenal transits. Brilliant flashes of intuition, sudden greater understandings, and hard-earned discoveries becomes a theme of the next 30 days or so. It's a great time for intellectual research, learning, and creative discoveries. Today should kick that theme off with a bang. Look forward to a stimulating one; we should feel an elevation of some kind in our thinking, taking us to a greater level. The next couple of days will also continue this theme in some way.

Another big, big transition today takes some attention away from home and family matters and towards more self-oriented goals, such as personal ambitions or just that good ol' pursuit of happiness. This is an influence that lasts for about an entire year. It's time to shine, baby.



Tuesday, July 29th


This is an amazing day. Holy Leo, Batman. Practically every benefic ("nice guy") planet in the sky is joining together in Leo for just this one day. While today carries a very unusual energy, this will also continue in many ways for the next 10 days or so as well. Enjoy watching and living this one, because the planets are very rarely this focused on one sign in such a light-and-easy way. What might all of this mean?

For one, it's not exactly a natural day for quiet contemplation and objectivity. It's more a day of riding the tidal wave of passionate, fiery energy coming over us all; and for fire signs this will be unbelievably pronounced. Whatever Leo symbolizes in your own birth chart will overflow with opportunity today (for Pisces, Virgo, and Capricorn this may have a more challenging flavor, though). If astrologers determined our own yearly holidays, according to the actual planetary locations in every given year, today would have to be some kind of sacred day where no one would work and everyone would play. It's that powerful. Visualize everyone collectively celebrating the uniqueness of this fun, solar day. That, I think, is what would be happening if humanity was more attuned to the awesome symbolism of astrology.

While the planetary energies will probably lead us to some kind of overindulgence and excess (these are things to be careful of, you know), if you wanted to, this would be about as powerful a day as you could imagine to tune into Spirit in a deeper way as well, although this would take some real mindfulness because we're likely to be so high on these natural vibrations. Just remember to keep your feet on the ground, and your mind somewhat in touch with reality, and your heart and spirit could open up like almost never before. The Inner Sun, my friends, is shining and smiling very, very brightly. Soak up some inner rays and enjoy the ride! Remember, while today is very powerful, so were the last few days, and so will be the next 10 days as well. For more on this period, read yesterday's daily horoscope.

Today, don't kowtow to anyone but God and your own beautiful Self. It's yo' thang; do what you wanna do.



Saturday - Monday, July 26th - 28th


There is a kind of planetary gear shift today as the energies of the New Moon are coming to life. What can we expect for the next couple of weeks? While there seems to be some emphasis on relationship, at the same time this desire looks like it will be countered or thwarted in some ways. One or both partners in any equation are likely to feel very independent, so that the emotional connections of the last couple of weeks should be much harder to come by. Add to this that anger and hostility are at a kind of high point, while we will be finding it harder than normal to express these intense feelings. And those with "wandering eyes" should think very seriously about the repurcussions of any dishonest sexual encounters for these next couple weeks.

At the same time, it looks like we could have a ton of fun over these next two weeks, even moreso if we can navigate through some relationship challenges with consideration and awareness of others. To a large extent, we need to be our own person right now, and at times that will have nothing to do with what the person sitting next to us wants to do. Just don't hurt anyone because of this, and things are looking pretty bright and amazing. This could be an unbelievable time for a vacation.

But I have one other "but." International events could run into a big patch of intensity. This seems like a very good time for prayers for peace around the world.


Here were my comments a couple of weeks ago about the previous Full Moon and the last two weeks:

The Full Moon on Sunday is strongly in effect for the next couple of weeks. This Full Moon looks sort of "all over the place" in its energies. Some of its energies are very mental, some are very emotional, some are very serious and devoted, and some are very light. Gee, that really narrows things down, huh? Let's call this Full Moon, "The Incredible Buffet of Life."

What I can say is that the energy is very high, and also that it offers rewards for those in any kind of partnership with others. This is no milquetoast of a Full Moon. All of the above areas are going to experience some very powerful stimulation, giving us a wide variety of powerful experiences over the next couple of weeks. Another way to summarize these new and upcoming energies could be "Doing Your Duty ... Well." Whether it's your heart or your mind that is the main ingredient for you of doing your duty well, you will have some very powerful assets and universal energies on your side for the next couple of weeks. Trying to keep everything balanced in the midst of all of these powerful urges and experiences--well that's going to be the interesting part.



Friday, July 25th


This is an unusually remarkable day for writing, self-expression, and mental creativity. Without some focus on these things, stress, indecision, and worry could be dominating forces. Absolute and total concentration is the goal, but this will require a great deal of self-control. 'Time to see if we're the master of our own selves. Today will give us at least the opportunity to "bust out." These same energies could be expressed through playing games, but then this would not offer the same mental stability. Also watch out for mentally puffed up, stubborn, or dogmatic states to create more strife and separation.

We're in a time period for the next week-and-a-half (this was also in effect this week) that should see a fair share of conflict and aggression. To avoid the harsh side of this as much as possible, get your rear in gear and get passionate about something. The planets are giving us all a boost of self-confidence right now, so no more excuses. It's now or never, baby. That is, unless you're just really enjoying the planetary energies speaking of rejuvenation and recreation. That works too, if you're okay with the occasional eruption and undercurrent of disdain. It's a tough call between directing all of that anger creatively or relaxing while having to put up with some of the feelings of hostility that are going around.

Express love creatively to others today, and don't rock any more boats than necessary.



Thursday, July 24th


Things look quite volatile around mid-to-late afternoon, but there looks to be an opportunity to smooth those vibrations out somewhat by the early evening. Before we get to that point, it might be wise to hold our tongues if we notice we're about to slap someone silly with them. Other daily energies are emphasizing the relatively new planetary emphasis on rediscovering ourselves and feeling an inner permission to focus on ourselves again. Some of the daily astrology looks good for being organized and clear mentally.

It looks like we're going to have a few "check-ins" with the planets today. This could have something to do with whether or not our compassionate creativity is in full swing. If not, look for a plate or two to fly across the room unassisted and a damsel to scream unexpectedly in distress. In other words, something weird and jarring to wake us up.

Think good thoughts about others and send a little love around the world today.



Wednesday, July 23rd


If you don't feel caught up with yourself yet, today might be the day to do it. While some elements of the day look a bit restless, there are some other elements that look rejuvenative ... which does make this a somewhat complex day. Look for some changes in plans or thinking to occur.

There is also a kind of pole shift happening today from yin to yang energies. So much of the weight of the planets had recently been pulling us towards caring for others, even to a fault. Now the pendulum swings back the other way, and it may feel like a brave new world of self-centeredness has opened up for us. We may not have seen our own faces in the mirror for a while, after looking so much at others. Now we should get more than a good look at that beaming beauty we call "myself."

At the same time, strange rumblings are underfoot. If you haven't felt some conflict and chaos wandering about the streets of planet Earth, just stay tuned for the next couple of weeks. To avoid the harsh side of this as much as possible, get your rear in gear and get passionate about something. The planets are giving us all a boost of self-confidence right now, so no more excuses. It's now or never, baby.



Tuesday, July 22nd


For at least a month now, we've had a very serious visit with the constellation known as Cancer. More than just any normal July, this year brought more than the average stroll down home and family lane. This time, it's personal ... nah, I'm just being dramatic. But seriously folks, this time brought much more serious family issues to the surface and/or much more of a practical and grounded focus to the realms of home and real estate. This likely went along with a much more serious mood of responsibility to those we care for and about.

There is a very important key to the journey we began about a month and a half ago: Remember the past, not as you wish it to be, but as it really was. That, my friends, is one of the very most important sentences I will write to you during these times. If you want to cooperate with the messages encoded in the planets over the next couple of years, I would strongly recommend remembering that one and taking it to heart. Being as aware as we possibly can be of the harder elements of our past can help prevent similar episodes from needing to happen again. And when that old stuff is triggered, be sure to try to see the connection with the distant past, building a bridge between then and now.

Well some, but not all, of the intensity and focus on this Cancerian realm is drawing to a close today. For most, the swing back towards good old fashioned fun, creativity, and me, me, me picks up considerable speed starting tomorrow. In the meantime, hold up a flickering lighter, put on that old 8-track of Free Bird, and shed a tear over the one that got away. In other words, give some of that old stuff another good look, and tie up any remaining business in the above mentioned areas.



Monday, July 21st


This day might have a kind of blank-slate potential to it. One theme could be that of trying to restore balance and equilibrium after an interesting last week with various energies all over the place. It looks like this could be our day to catch our breath. Humility could be significant theme today as well, and coming back down to earth after a very active or expansive time just recently.

One thing that could interfere with the balancing potential of today is the negative thoughts within our own minds. Many people will probably resist some of the potential and choose to stay in old, negative thought habits. Some will probably open up to some kind of higher spiritual knowledge, moving themselves towards more peace and understanding. By the end of the day, at least some kind of movement spiritually upwards in our thinking seems likely to have come about, unless one is quite stuck in some very heavy mental habits. Being open and receptive to spiritual Grace will go a long way today.
This could be a very good time to focus on letting any old resentments go.

Peace > Bitterness



Sunday, July 20th



Today I get the sense of two major themes, and I think that it could be an either/or kind of situation for us today. The first situation says: have fun. Have serious, total, intense, all-out fun. The second situation says: focus yourself and your aspirations to bring about greater personal power. Or maybe it's a hybrid, saying focus seriously on having fun. Or maybe it's another kind of hybrid saying to have fun with being seriously focused. Anway, I think you can see the two ingredients by now. We'll see how it plays out.

Also look for at least some emphasis on holistic matters today. Maybe you've got something to share. Maybe there's something for you to receive.

One other current influence is simultaneously giving us an abundant expanse into realms of fun, travel, self-expression, and creativity. Look for these energies to build and peak sometime this weekend.



Saturday, July 19th


It looks like something is ready to end today, and that something has a lot to do with something in our minds. Or something like that. This is not the best day to be stubborn. You can be stubborn, of course, but you'll be much better off by practicing letting go. The spiritual men may be separated from the boys today. Can you open to whatever's right and release ideas or paths that are no longer right for you? Only your resistance to this process of transformation could cause you real problems under these influences.

If you can let go, something greater will soon come about to replace the old, stinky ideas that may be cluttering things up in your life right now. Sometimes what's best for us is, of course, not what we want to think is best for us. Today, a spiritual awakening of some sort could follow if we first pass this test. Here's a hint: ask God to help you with it --> piece of cake.

One other current influence is simultaneously giving us an abundant expanse into realms of fun, travel, self-expression, and creativity. Look for these energies to build and peak sometime this weekend. Today is also a valuable day to share your highest truths with others.



Friday, July 18th



It's quite possible that we could have a lot on our minds today. There is a process of redirection or focusing that has been occuring in our relationships, or within the realms of home and family, this week, and we're reaching the end of this dramatic influence--or at least the most dramatic part of it, anyway. Today will bring a lot of people more emotional drama as well. We could experience some major endings today, so be prepared to release and let some things go if necessary.

Another thing to be mindful of is impulsiveness when it comes to things like food, sex, and intoxicants. This looks like a good day to practice finding positive applications of "emptiness," such as silence and meditation, and to be mindful of moderation. Without a conscious effort at emptying the mind, we could feel somewhat stirred up.

One other current influence is simultaneously giving us an abundant expanse into realms of fun, travel, self-expression, and creativity. Look for these energies to build and peak sometime this weekend. Today is also a day when we could find some success or recognition in some kind of communications field, or through teaching.



Thursday, July 17th


Creativity moves into the front seat for today. Seize the day when the drive and motivation strikes you, and you can direct today's astrology in the most positive way possible. There are a few things to watch out for as well, including dishonesty and too much aggressiveness in communications. Keep your ego in check and stay on the light side of things, and you'll minimize the hazards today.

One current influence is giving us an abundant expanse into realms of fun, travel, self-expression, and creativity. Look for these energies to build and peak sometime this weekend.

Here's part of what I wrote yesterday (word-for-word) about an influence that is still current:

"If it didn't happen towards the latter part of yesterday [i.e. two days ago], there appears to be a major redirection bound to happen in our relationships or with matters pertaining to family and home today (or over a period of about five days centering on today). Quite honestly, this is a kind of reorientation in our lives inspired by powerful spiritual forces outside of our immediate control. It would be helpful to tune into our hearts and intuition as this influence works itself out in our lives, to try to understand the reason and/or purpose for why this may be happening. For most, but not all people, this influence will be at least a bit jarring."



Wednesday, July 16th


There are a couple of very significant things happening today. Pay good attention to your intuition today because I think you'll have a chance to tune into something very important about your spiritual growth. This could have a lot to do with some of the very expansive opportunities in career (or home) realms over the last month or so. This is also a great day to be of service to others, particularly with any of your mental or intuitive gifts.

This is part of what I wrote (word-for-word) yesterday on part of this influence:

" Later tonight some relationship difficulties could be a reality; if this isn't felt today, it is likely to be felt tomorrow. This seems unlikely to be a major trend, however; it looks more like a short-term event that could help redirect our relationship and heart energies in some way. However, since relationships are in a very dramatic and sensitive period, emotions could be pretty high under this influence. If so, it is a chance to be in our hearts and simply feel whatever comes up with compassion."



Tuesday, July 15th


I think we're still cooling down from a flood of powerful astrological movements in June. Today the planets give us a few interesting clues about the day's energies.

There seems to be an orientation towards larger social interests, groups, and causes today. In particular, those with any kind of mental mastery in their field could see a nice boost in their work, or just an opportunity to express their expertise.

Monday, July 14th


Many of the same radically dynamic energies are present today, just as they were yesterday. The dramatic nature of the Full Moon is much less of an influence today, though still certainly in operation on a smaller level.
But a couple of the comments I made yesterday ought to be true today, if they were not already yesterday:

"Emotions are likely to be ... high today, but it's very possible that an emphasis on pure, true love will prevail under these influences, especially for those whose hearts are open to this possibility. We could also mentally receive some very powerful ideas or intuitions today. The mind should have some great, stimulating material to chew on."


One of the major themes today is that of breaking free from whatever intense situations may have been recently present. The planets are still reaching a miniature emotional and mental crescendo, but the feeling present may be that of liberation from any of the heavy and excessively dutiful energies of the Full Moon.
It looks like it's time to ride the wave to the top of the crest and receive whatever download the universe has for you today. Think and feel outside of the box, and you'll do just fine.



Sunday, July 13th


This looks like an incredibly dynamic day. There is so much happening that I'm looking forward to seeing some very interesting astrology unfold today.

For one thing there is a bit of an overall shift to more fun-oriented energies that begins today. It may be pretty subtle at first, but that is a trend that should continue to unfold and reach a kind of peak in a couple of weeks.

The Full Moon of course brings a lot of emotions up from the depths, and confrontations with subconscious energies or memories that have been suppressed in some way. I would try to bring compassionate, loving awareness to any childhood patterns that are triggered.

Emotions are likely to be extraordinarily high today, but it's very possible that an emphasis on pure, true love will prevail under these influences, especially for those whose hearts are open to this possibility. We could also mentally receive some very powerful ideas or intuitions today. The mind should have some great, stimulating material to chew on.

These are some very general comments about the themes of this Full Moon and the next couple of weeks:

The Full Moon on Sunday is strongly in effect for the next couple of weeks. This Full Moon looks sort of "all over the place" in its energies. Some of its energies are very mental, some are very emotional, some are very serious and devoted, and some are very light. Gee, that really narrows things down, huh? Let's call this Full Moon, "The Incredible Buffet of Life."

What I can say is that the energy is very high, and also that it offers rewards for those in any kind of partnership with others. This is no milquetoast of a Full Moon. All of the above areas are going to experience some very powerful stimulation, giving us a wide variety of powerful experiences over the next couple of weeks. Another way to summarize these new and upcoming energies could be "Doing Your Duty ... Well." Whether it's your heart or your mind that is the main ingredient for you of doing your duty well, you will have some very powerful assets and universal energies on your side for the next couple of weeks. Trying to keep everything balanced in the midst of all of these powerful urges and experiences--well that's going to be the interesting part.



Saturday, July 12th


Today brings some emphasis to completion of some recent responsibilities, quite likely to responsibilities involving our families, homes, or communities. The energy seems very high for getting a kind of final boost of energy, or second wind, with whichever of these areas are attracting our attention today.

We'll also be feeling the tidal pull of the Full Moon today. Here are some comments on it:

The upcoming Full Moon on Sunday is strongly in effect for the next couple of weeks. This Full Moon looks sort of "all over the place" in its energies. Some of its energies are very mental, some are very emotional, some are very serious and devoted, and some are very light. Gee, that really narrows things down, huh?

Friday, July 11th


This may as well be a three-day weekend, starting today, because today's planets have "mini-vacation" written across them. The day calls for:

relaxing
taking it easy
having fun
going with the flow

Many of the upcoming days may not offer us this same "TGIF" sort of potential, so today would seem like a great time to enjoy yourself as much as you possibly can. "How much fun can you possibly have?" in other words, might be a good question to try to focus on for today.

Following the relationship tune-up that we've had over the last couple of days, today's astrology has the look of recollecting ourselves by tuning into our hearts' desires, some of which may be a little on the selfish side; if they are, it's probably because we might need to be a little selfish, after so much attention on responsibility to others recently.

The upcoming Full Moon on Sunday is also strongly in effect today--and for the next couple of weeks. This Full Moon looks sort of "all over the place" in its energies. Some of its energies are very mental, some are very emotional, some are very serious and devoted, and some are very light. Gee, that really narrows things down, huh? Let's call this Full Moon, "The Incredible Buffet of Life."

Thursday, July 10th


The planets today seem to be flashing some sort of gaudy, pink neon sign about relationships, sexuality, and intimate connections. All of the above are likely to see some kind of boost of attention in our life experience today. Some people will take these same energies and open their hearts wider to loving and serving others. And some of the odd energies of the last couple of days are likely to be absent now.

There's also a theme of personal strength and power in pursuing our desires today. As long as you can avoid unnecessary conflicts today, the planets will generally be offering a little something for everyone. If either love or power turn you on (and that probably describes everyone), there should be something exciting for you in the heavenly skies today. And that leads me to ask, what turns you on more? Love or Power? It could be an interesting question to look at today.



Wednesday, July 9th


The big picture right now says a lot about simply maintaining things, after all of the intensity, opportunity, and/or action of recent weeks. The planets are relatively dormant now, but of course there's always something going on.

The early part of the day could give us a nice opportunity for deeper insight and/or communication. But the most intriguing part of today is in the latter part of the day. Emotions are likely to be particularly intense, and it's quite possible that we'll go through a bit of a psychological purging, intended to bring us closer to our deeper Spirit/Self in the end. This could be a valuable time to turn to some kind of spiritual or esoteric alternatives for healing or insight.

Another important key could be that of focusing on ourselves rather than trying to change others. This is not the day to attempt to change anyone else. For one thing, people are likely to be too out of balance with themselves to be able to really listen, and this of course includes you and me. So let's work on that.

You might do yourself a favor today by looking in the mirror. As someone once said, you might have a mote in your own eye. Happy Birthday, Donald Rumsfield! : )



Tuesday, July 8th


Water, water everywhere. Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) should buy lottery tickets (I'm kidding), invest in the stock market (I'm kidding), get married (kidding), and start new businesses today (still kidding). But seriously folks, it's an amazing day to be a water sign, and some degree of grace and universal french kissing appears to be in order for us, particularly in the early part of the day, and especially for the water-logged among us.

How might we work with this? Go deep. No, not so I can throw you a long pass (football joke, excuse me), but so that you feel your heart, your soul, and your connection to the Ultimate. Sit by the banks of your being for a while and listen to the stream, remaining spiritually open to receive. Magic could be in the air. Find humility, compassion, and healing. Transform from within your mind, heart, and spirit. Go inside.

Towards the second part of the day, the emotional and spiritual waters will likely be much harder to navigate consciously. Make sure you are being honest with yourself emotionally, and rather than avoiding or looking away, go right into the heart of your experience. In other words, just feel. No distractions.

Monday, July 7th


After looking over the day's events, I feel that yesterday's message is still totally appropriate for us today:

For some time now the planets have been showing us opportunity after opportunity. This recent influx of potential has been about worldly success, and responsibility to our familes and loved ones. The next couple of days provide us with the last major burst of energy we'll be seeing in this area for a while (though the overall theme will definitely linger for a lot longer).

This very current opportunity (today, and the last two days) gives us a chance to "get right" with our hearts in these matters, and to make sure we haven't neglected the things that are really important to us--like our loved ones. The planets also seem to want us to gather and focus our most caring, supportive, and responsible energies, and direct them in the service of whatever the universe is now guiding us to do. This is all a very special opportunity with an emphasis on opening the heart and on maturing.

Continue to find ways to let your relationships grow and change. Continue to find ways to be more independent and free, yet more open to others and to intimacy at the same time.

Today (or late yesterday) may also provide us with a shock of some kind. If so, stay centered in your heart and trust the events as they unfold. Soon enough, they will probably make more sense, particularly if your mind is open to that possibility.

Saturday, July 5th


This might be a great day to reflect on how you can be more good to yourself, or about relationships in your life that may need to see some changes. Relationships themselves start to get very interesting today.

I expect to see some relationships start having a really hard time today or even experience break-ups on some scale, and this influence would then probably last for the next few days. However some people will take the very same planetary energy and really build on their relationships, creating the potential for more freedom and commitment. That sounds pretty good, huh?

If you want to stay on the positive side of this, I recommend really thinking about how you might be able to create more freedom for yourself, as well as more intimacy with others. Think outside the box on this, because there's no reason why we can't do both at the same time. In fact, if you want to be in harmony with the planets right now, you will have to do just that.

At this time the universe is giving us the opportunity to make commitments (especially ones that impact relationships and finances) that will serve some of our greater, and higher goals--particularly our goals that are motivated from a spiritual or intuitive place within us. So this kind of focus is generally a fantastic way to work with the planets, at least for right now. If you don't "practice" focus today, you should at least be able to think meaningfully about where you want to commit more deeply, and that could be just as valuable. This also looks like a perfect day to spend some healing time in nature.

Also be willing to change your mind on certain things or be willing to let relationships change, if necessary. It looks like a good day to try to be open to new ideas. If your mind is really open, I think you'll learn a thing or two today and grow.


Friday, July 4th


If you're in the US, I think we've got your apple pie for you today. Venus enters Cancer around mid-day, joining three other planets in Cancer; and then other planets add to the devotional fervor. Waving the grand old flag never felt so good with a big emphasis on conservative, patriotic Cancer. In other news ...

This really is an interesting day. The early-to-mid part of the day has some sort of a "divine intervention" aspect happening. I expect to see some significant events or redirection happening, possibly with an emphasis on things that effect groups, humanistic endeavors, or masses of people. It could be an extremely powerful time to tune into Spirit and its direction for you right now.

This is also a very powerful day in another respect. Insight. Use your brain a little (try not to load up on hot dogs and beer too quickly, camper) and you could find some really interesting thoughts and clarity coming out of that noggin of yours.

Relationships begin a new dynamic and energy today. Watch for the shift. Most likely we'll be seeing more emphasis on intimacy, closeness, family, and responsibility to the family unit.

Here's something I wrote yesterday. Apply as needed:

"By the way, if you know any Scorpio Sun or Rising Signs folks, get ready to start rubbing their bellies for luck starting tomorrow. You might want to prepare them for it; tell them to wear that little shirt that shows off their belly button. You'll want to have easy access to their abdomen, because the planets are about to start kissing them from head to toe, and of course you'll want to get in on that, too, right? I'm tellin' ya. Two words: Belly rubs."



Thursday, July 3rd:


True story: When I lived on Maui I saw Prince shopping for tofu at a health food store. I walked up to him to tell him how much I've loved his music, but his bodyguard stopped me before I could. All he would say was, "We's just trying to chill right now." Later tonight, I pray we all heed the words of Prince's bodyguard spoken to me on that tropical night. Repeat: "We's just trying to chill right now."

Just keep rolling down hill today. But by this point, some reflections are probably also in order. How do you feel about all of the recent opportunities you've been given? Do you need to cut back on anything? Shift direction a little bit? Fine tune where you're headed? Ponder. Rather than feeling propelled out of a cannon (which is what we've become used to of late), you can actually think about where you're going for a change. Remember what that felt like?

One of the big short-term transitions that has recently been underway is from a more socially and mentally stimulating mood to a more feeling and intimacy oriented one. After today, that transition will be fully complete. But it practically feels like we're there already, since it's our social energies that are feeling all grown-up, and our emotional energies that are feeling more raw and wild.

Wednesday, July 2nd:


Expansion has been on the planetary news channel like white on rice over the last month or so. Today is no different in this respect. Expansion is still the Soup du Jour. But there is a difference today.

So much of the recent expansion has been very worldly. Today, more "spiritual" planetary energies rule the day. I'm sure we could really use a nice dose of spiritual and emotional clarity by now. And to a significant extent, we will get it today.

Which means, this could really be your day to get back in tune with your Spirit. Be open, open, open. Tune in, turn on ... or is that turn in, tune on? I don't know, but you get it, right?

Tuesday, July 1st:


Today has "action" written all over it. After feeling spaced out and emotional for a couple of days, the planets come roaring back now to give us something to do with all of the immense potential that the planets have been building up. What responsibilities have you been tuning into recently? Today is a great day to act on what you've been sensing you need to do.

Expansion, expansion, expansion. At some point things have to contract. But not quite yet. Almost, but not quite yet. For now, it's time to apply our power and "get the job done."

I'd be a bit careful, though, about how you are expressing yourself today. Be more aware of yourself so that you aren't combatative or mean. Other than this caveat, today has "go for it" written all over it. Big things can start happening now. Recent, positive opportunities can turn a new corner and we can begin to improve on some of our new inspirations.

Go get 'em, Tiger.


Monday, June 30th:


This is a really weird day. I expect that many will feel it as particularly emotional, despite the way the mind could also feel so stimulated today. For some, the mind will be obscured with heavy issues; for others, the mental outlook will be brilliant and practical. The water signs are the most likely to feel the best of this.

We will probably feel a nice mental flow going in the morning, particularly for those on Eastern or Central time. After this, things get a lot more serious. Will it be social or creative fears? Communication difficulties? Family issues?
And/or, focus and commitment with our work?

There has been a lot of potential building for some time now. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow are likely to form an important period of thinking about and communicating with others about some of the opportunities we've been having. The events of today are going to determine a lot about where things are really going for us. Yet, if possible, try not to start anything too big today. I think today is a good day to tune in more deeply to yourself and where you really want to go, rather than taking major inititiating action.

Another aspect is providing us with a financial opportunity right now. It looks like confidence and enthusiasm could pay off really well under this influence. It's a good time to "power up" your self-esteem and your passion, and enjoy expressing yourself to others. 'Not a bad time to "think big."


Sunday, June 29th:


Oh, the planets, they are a-changin'. Well, a little bit anyway. Have you felt the emotion of the last few days? It is now most definitely that Cancerian season of the year, and this gives us a great time to check back in with our families and our past. Is it ever possible to "go home again?." 'Time to find out. In particular, this Cancer season is a particularly good time to "work the land," whether that be the earth or the home. The last couple of days have brought some emphasis on the independent and fun side of life. We're likely to be feeling more of an emphasis on responsibility, intimacy, and emotions now, for about the next 2-3 weeks.

It looks like the universe may give us a couple of days to try to get used to these shifts. We're likely to ease our way into them, so it's a great time to relax and just openly see where the vibes take us.

But at the same time I think we can still expect to see a lot of the opportune energies that have been in place for the last couple of weeks to continue. It remains a very, very powerful time to focus on creative, mental, and commercial projects. In particular, today's astrology should give everyone a kind of mental boost, particularly later on in the day. It's like a gingko biloba infusion from the planets. Creative ideas and intuition are at a high peak, so take advantage of this time period if you can, in whatever ways you can.

Another aspect is providing us with a financial opportunity right now, particularly through the end of June. It looks like confidence and enthusiasm could pay off really well under this influence. It's a good time to "power up" your self-esteem and your passion, and enjoy expressing yourself to others. 'Not a bad time to "think big."


Saturday, June 28th:


June flies when you're having fun. It's day two of some planetary transits that put a major emphasis on the light side of life. Today's energies have a somewhat rare and special quality to them. As I wrote yesterday:

"Some amazingly sweet and enjoyable experiences look to be on the universal queue, scheduled for some time over the next couple of days [meaning Friday and Saturday]. It's like a cornucopia of social and mental stimulation, or of some nice trips or traveling. If you like to use your mind, if you like to get out and around, or if you like people, then I think you'll be more than happy with what the Universe has cooked up for us today."

The bottom line here is that it's a really great idea to be having fun right now. Social life, adventure, and the life of the mind are all at a very nice peak of enjoyment, and this is especially true for air signs. Starting tomorrow, though, we start a phase that has more of an emphasis on work and responsibility. So I'd say to kick back today and enjoy all the fun you can have. Things will start getting a little more serious on Sunday.

Friday, June 27th:


After some of the jarring energies present yesterday, today looks much more like "smooth sailing," at least the first 90% of the day anyway. I'm looking forward to this one, but I'm really looking forward to Saturday; the very sweet potential of today should come into full bloom then. I think a lot of people are going to have a lot of fun with these energies.

Thursday, June 26th:

The planets were fairly quiet yesterday, apparently to give us some to catch up with ourselves (or with things) and/or reflect on recent events. They are somewhat quiet today as well. The main theme seems to be about some emotional shocks or situations that might offer us the chance to be more in our hearts, and less in our minds. Another theme is likely to still be a kind of 'catch up' theme.

At the same time, some very fun, relaxing, and stimulating energies are coming together over the next few days. We probably won't feel the incredibleness of these energies today as much as the next couple of days, but some amazingly sweet and enjoyable experiences look to be on the universal queue, scheduled for some time between now and Saturday. It's like a cornucopia of social and mental stimulation, or of some nice trips or traveling.

Wednesday, June 25th:


If the last week was a waterfall, today is a lake. Take a moment to survey all of the abundance and expanse of the last few days, or of the last nine days. Did you direct your will? Did you let it all hang out? Did you feel the social and mental Grace descend? Also take a moment to reflect on the unexpected emotional intensities of this time period too. What has your heart been feeling? Can you just be with that for a while?

Today ought to be a Sunday or Saturday. It ought to be the kind of day where we can just take some time off to reflect and relax. But alas, the calendar says Wednesday.

It's time to reflect on our own peace of mind. What can we do to be more deeply in touch with it? I'm sure we'll have some things to maintain today, but it would be great to be able to just go vegetal for a while, wouldn't it? Ah heck, you're really an infinitely powerful spiritual being. If you need to take some time for yourself or to be with loved ones, just manifest it. Wave that magic wand in your back pocket, and give life a little abracadabra today. It's your life, you know.


Tuesday, June 24th:


A day like this is extraordinarily rare. There is an incredible flow of expansive worldly opportunity right now that is almost mind-blowing, astrologically. If you've got anything big that you want to start under heavenly skies, this is your day.

Despite having an unusually large amount of new opportunities over the last few months, these expansive energies reach what will likely be another major peak today. After this expanse, we're going to have plenty of work to do to maintain everything that has begun.

One of the big questions facing us under this influence is whether or not we will commit to the willpower to create something as powerful as what we are capable of. If you are able to turn on that juice, you're probably going to end up moving a mountain before you're through. And the world around you will probably benefit far more than you know.

Extend yourself into your community and society now, and you'll have chosen to ride in on a wave of opportunity rarely seen in these parts.

Here's one piece of advice to take advantage of the current potential. Just be yourself. I mean really, really be yourself. Wear the pink bunny slippers and stay up late enough, so you can howl at the Moon. Let it all hang out, forget all of your inhibitions, and if it makes sense for you, direct your energies towards something of a healing or higher paradigm. You could liberate more than a few folks along the way--and most importantly, yourself.

Monday, June 23rd:

After a very powerful weekend, it looks like it won't be so easy to settle back into our Monday routines. But at the same time, this doesn't at all look like a boring day. I think I can promise you that you won't be bored. While yesterday's energies looked more like up-and-up, today has more the look of up-and-down. Stability is not exactly a theme today.

The earliest part of the day, especially for those in Eastern or Central time zones, could bring some intensity around communication and information. Then things seem to mellow down around lunch time, but it's the time after that that is really interesting. It probably won't be anywhere near as interesting as tomorrow, but we should get a jolt of one kind or another. It could be a jolt of consciousness, a jolt of material opportunity, a jolt of social disharmony, or something else entirely. Try to maintain self-control, breathe deeply, and above all, do not react too strongly to anything out of the ordinary.

Overall, there's still gobs of potential in material realms. It's really quite amazing. Look forward to a kind of pinnacle materially tomorrow. The more air and water you have in your chart, the more true this probably is for you.

Sunday, June 22nd:

This looks like a glorious day, and there is also some serious potential for deeping ourselves and our place in the world. Sunday is the Sun's day, and it looks like old Sol will be shining down on us. Despite some of the intense potential that is also happening right now, this looks like a great day for R&R. The Mars-Uranus conjunction could stir things up a bit today, but I expect that harsh energy to be more in the minority--that's how strong the element of Grace is with the rest of the planets right now. When it comes to today's potential, there's something for everyone. No matter the individual chart, the planets are offering everyone the energetic equivalent of an all-you-can-eat buffet.

There are some incredibly powerful aspects for career advancement this weekend. The more air (excuse the mistake from yesterday) and water you have in your chart, the more true this probably is for you. This has the look of opportunity, though, rather than certainty. Another caveat: those who aren't able to remain on the positive side of things could get a very rude awakening with these same transits.

Make a wish, really do something about it, and almost nothing could stop you right now. Enjoy.

Saturday, June 21st:

Ah, the Summer Solstice. While the Earth is taking an energetic bath over the next few days, we'll notice an immediate change of flow in our lives for these days as well. Even if it weren't for the solstice energies, there would be some very powerful planetary positions this weekend. Like during the last week, I'm expecting to see more dichotomy and more opposite manifestations.

This has the look of opportunity, though, rather than certainty. Another caveat: those who aren't able to remain on the positive side of things could get a very rude awakening with these same transits.

These same aspects could bring us more intense emotional situations as well. The emotional realm has been pretty stirred up since Tuesday anyway. But this could easily be even more dramatic this weekend. This could be particularly true for fire signs. Here's something that could be a key to this weekend's energies: when appropriate, do something. This could be a great time to direct our energies powerfully into action, and could also be a very powerful time to initiate new worldly projects. If we aren't active enough, the intensity of the energies could be really overpowering emotionally.

It might be nice to reflect on the last week, and it's dramatic extremes. Notice the abundance theme, and all of the ways that this manifested in social and mental realms (this may just be in new opportunities/situations/people that presented themselves). But other influences were bringing us a sudden jolt in ways that may not have felt very easy to assimilate. It wouldn't be a bad idea to feel very thankful for the expansion that has been there, and to bring more pure awareness to the difficult issues that have been triggered. Bringing attention to feelings and reactions could give us a powerful experience of our depths at this time.
