July

We start the Month off with a Solar Eclipse in Cancer. This is the third eclipse in a row... what does that mean you ask? Eclipses are like a laser beams that are shinning an intensive light or shadow on an area of our charts which has an direct affect on our lives, giving us the opportunity to examine and adjust our behavior. We are being asked to focus our attention on the area of our chart that holds the sign of the eclipse... this one is in Cancer.

If you have a Cancer rising, Moon, or Born in the sign, this eclipse will hold more meaning for you. Most Cancerian people react to change by moving sideways away from the threat, or trying to avoid the change by hiding. But it's time for a change, embrace it!! For this eclipse is not the only aspect that is affecting you now, Pluto is in opposition, Saturn is square, as is Uranus all forming a grand cross. You may be feeling like many factors of your life are out of your control, but the old must die to the new. Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, to be born again. But where ever Cancer is in your chart allow it to use it's talent of self reflection, aided by Pluto, to go deep, you might see that the changes are not so hard to allow. And because of these changes you gain a new sense of clarity that helps clear the deck for the new growth that is beginning called into existence. Of which your presently can not see.

And as Mercury moves into Leo, it should give you the ability to speak from the heart, as it joins the Moon on Sunday the 2nd. We will feel the effect of this Solar Eclipse for sometime as the planets move into Cancer like Venus, and later in the month oppose Pluto where we may get a glimpse of a side of loved one that we maybe never saw until now... Be prepared to change, for if you do the transit will be much easier. To resist will be futile for change is the only consistent...

June

Ever feel like to plug has been pulled out, and haven't the energy to do anything. Perhaps you are approaching the end of a Mars cycle... I know that prior to my Mars return I can't even write... and now that Mars is conjunct a new mars cycle begins for me I feel like myself. These cycles take about 2 1/2 years. We all have them and if you start something new at the beginning of one you a have a really good chance of completion of the project by the next one... Provided that you do the work to make it happen. I also get a little help from Jupiter so I'm back to writing.

We have a busy Summer this year. A solar eclipse on June 1 in Gemini, has the affect similar to Mercury retrograde, due to the Moon being in Gemini, which is slowed down by the blinding Sun in Gemini, making communications difficult and unclear. The question here is do we really know what we want? Where we are going? What is motivating you to act? What's blinding you from seeing your path clearly?

Take some time and mediate on that question... and as Mercury moves into Gemini on June 2 the answers may become clearer as to the path you need to walk. However, Mars in Taurus is slow moving and methodical in it's approach to new projects so have patience, make it fun. Then Jupiter joins the party in Taurus. Jupiter is lord of large and expanding when coupled with Taurus' energy, the love of beauty and possession things can get expensive fast, depending on your chart. So watch you money and be-careful for impulsive spending.

As Jupiter makes himself at home in Taurus which is for about one year, you can begin to see things expand which are not easily undone, so watch you eating patterns. Some other form of possessions may expand as well. Depending on where Taurus falls in your chart there will be different effects. Some of you may have their family expand, some their money, our homes.. You can be moved to buy expensive works of Art.....be careful. Expansion needs to be built on a solid foundation... being too fool hearty, can have to opposite effect, expanding someone's pocket while emptying yours...

The added influence of Mars in Taurus while a slow mover here, can fuel impatience and prompt some to throw the baby out with the bath water...which will seem reasonable around the Lunar eclipse in Sagittarius on June 15. But we are being to clarify our dreams. What are we hoping to get out of all this? Are our ideals clearly formed? We can have our dreams fulfilled or we must shake it off and wake up! Step outside of our confront zones and make some long need changes, ride ourselves of unneeded emotional baggage...
