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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

that's going to be the interesting part.
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."

that's going to be the interesting part.
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! :

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.
Sunday, July 6th
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
(the next couple of days,
and also yesterday) 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 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.

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.

aspect is providing us with a financial opportunity right now, particularly
through the end of June. It looks like confidence
and enthusiasm

to others. 'Not a bad time to "think big."
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.

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.
