July 2010
July begins with more intensity with energy relating around the Lunar Eclipse (6/25) your words & actions could get you into a 'situation' for the first few days. Keep in mind you can not take back your words!! Think before you speak. Your actions can align with your thinking; unfortunately, your minds are not quite as reliable as we might hope - so use care in your choices.
July 4 - Last quarter Moon - Aries In some cases, obstacles appear between one's emotions & one's sense of personal identity due to the square aspect of Sun-Moon. Moon Aries = moody, possibility manifesting energy. Dropping problems with the ego becomes the KEY to the key to this Moon. You can not change stubbornness, selfishness of others. Simply let it go enjoy & be yourself!
July 5 - Uranus Stations Retrograde (SR) 0 Aries @ 12:49 pm & will remain there till 12/5. Uranus - planet representing revolution, chaos, explosive energies, sudden changes. Retrograde (Rx) the influence of Uranus teaches us to handle uncertainty, particularly internal chaos. Many aspects of chaos & volatile or abrupt energies, & inspires the need for change & breakthroughs in the pursuit of freedom. This Rx cycle is for humanity to examine their revolutionary practices in order to make breakthroughs in the long run. Personally during this period be sure to set a standard for a certain degree of freedom in your life, so that you can stop & smell the roses through Summer & into Autumn. DO NOT let this time get by you with out kicking up your heals...CLAIMING your freedom is a good thing!!
July 11 - NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE (SE) 19 Cancer 24 @ 3:40 pm Time to make a new Lunar Manifestation List. Sun is a symbol for self, is obscured, so it isn't easy to see ourselves. Eclipse in Cancer, family or people who are like family are emphasized. This doesn't mean we should be dependent, but rather let our loved ones be a crutch to lean on while you are healing. Good time to get things organized. "Cleaning out your closet" excellent time to clear things out. You may have the feeling to streamline things. There is a possibility for explosive arguments, especially when people won't back down form their positions. This occurs near the
S. Node = emotions can be a trap & you must be careful not to be moody or succumb to viability. (Influences from SE last for 6 months or until the next SE - although they can carry on energies for a long time)
July 23 - Jupiter SRx 3 Aries 24 @ 8:03 am & will remain there till 11/18. For the next 4 months you may feel less optimistic & expansive, needing to rein ourselves in & stay grounded. Some will experience backsliding or difficulties in the areas of higher education, travel, media, promotion & legal affairs. Re-examine your philosophies. Try to create your OWN LUCK rather than to wait for breaks from other people or opportunities.
July 24 - Jupiter (3 Ar) Square Pluto (3 Cp) Will square again on 8/3 & 2/25/11. This aspect is in effect within a one degree orb from 7/5 to August 22, with the most difficult tine 8/8-9, when other planets are in the mix. It is difficult to push your agenda. Individual efforts & desires can be thwarted by bigger outside factors. The pace of progress is jerky around the times of this aspect, marked by all-at- once bursts interspersed with near stagnation.
July 25 - Full Moon (FM) 3 Aquarius @ 9:37 pm Time to Burn your Lunar Manifestation List. Today begins with vibrant energy until the Moon will be Void of Course (VoC) from 10:20 am till 3:38 pm. VoC Capricorn Moon = likely to bring some serious & determined moods stifled by idleness or uncertainty. Any activity during this VoC period will have no effect, like it never happened - not a good time to start project or sign documents may have to redo. As Moon moves into Aq enlivens your senses with need to apply clarity & definition. The mood of the day is likely to be blanketed in bizarre & unusual occurrences, and it's often idealistic & generous in some respects. It may seem to be out-of-hand & downright unrealistic to others. This is a good time to investigate, play around with ideas, seek answerers, invent, reinvent & celebrate knowledge.
July 31 - Beginning 7/31 Mercury moved into it's shadow period for the approaching retrograde. Everyone is feeling the retrograde energies Venus & Mars are the only planets not in Rx patterns. We are still in the "dog days" of summer! Lots of friction, feelings of rush except when it comes to being 'picky' then individuals take their time. You maybe
trying to figure out how to protect your own interests. Relationships strained, maybe even coming to close.
*** Just know we are in a period of major change. ***
August 2010
August 9 - New Moon 17 Leo 25 @ 11:08 pm Time to make a new Lunar Manifestation List. This is a time of self discovery. Leo is the optimist, & NM brings positive new perspectives to personal goals, as well as inspiring a fresh outlook on your image. You may feel the pull to begin a new lease on life! The desire for the latest fashion, hair style, etc is common place for this Moon placement (Leo). A new pattern of self-image & dignity can be created while the old pattern will have to be tempered & corrected. Images come from within & is generated by the sheer magnitude of one's will! YOU have room to grow if you will take the time to apply self-worth, self-respect, & discipline. This Moon also represents family & friends, & can be a good time to initiate a new lease on an old friendship or enjoy a favorite hobby with the family.
August 13 - Friday ONLY ONE THIS YEAR! Friday named for the Norse Freya Goddess of fertility. 13 is a sacred to Goddess worshipers, the number of Moon cycles in a year. The day was to be set aside, no work; but you can see how a patriarchal society would repress this custom.
August 20 - Mercury Station Rx 19 Virgo 02 @ 3:59 pm until 9/12 & out of the shadow (back to where it began) on 9/27.
BE CAREFUL HOW YOU APPROACH CRITICISMS, EVERYONE IS SENSITIVE ABOUT JUDGEMENT RIGHT NOW. Do not spend too much time going over recent communications with a fine tooth comb to tweak & refine them or ruminating over your imperfections. Attend to the most URGENT it important matters that truly do need correction & make detailed lists to head off future problems.
Venus conjucting Mars @ 13 Libra 35 Look to the West after sunset for this beautiful pair. Venus is the brighter one. Mars is redder. You will seek what pleases you & you are obsessive in trying to acquire it. Interactions between women & men are smooth. You will be graceful in physical activities & show a possible interest in team sports.
August 24 - Full Moon 1 Pisces 26 @ 1:05 pm Time to Burn your Lunar Manifestation List. Moon is opposite the Sun & brings out the psychic in everyone. People can be very sensitive, & as a result, some people express themselves in very artistic or perhaps nonsensical ways. Enchantment sets the stage for the Full Pisces Moon sets the stage early in the day. Dance, music & art are often activities with good imagination stimulated by Pisces. Pisces says "I believe" & while energies of FM it is vitally important to carry your beliefs wisely, as destructive tendencies may bring us down if we're not careful. Care with your view of self = low
self -esteem & possible substance abuse as illusionary Pisces rules the house.

September 12 - Mercury SD 5 Virgo 23 @ 7:09 pm Since 8/20
(7/31 shadow) Mercury has been Rx in Virgo commonly causing communication glitches & confusion when relaying information. Also, with this sign caused important information & data to undergo a tail spin. Now you can breathe a sigh of relief - although not out of the shadow until 9/27. Take note that your faculties & manner of communicating will definitely improve within the next few days. When Mercury SD freezes communications efforts, but soon communications will run smoother. This is a
GOOD time to clear up various misunderstandings occurring over the last few weeks during the Rx phase.
September 14 - Pluto SD 2 Capricorn 47 @ 0:35 am After a year long (continuing rest of the year shadow period) the energies of this planet of transformation has been challenging our world as we once knew it - stretching us all into a new world (age).

Pluto is inviting everyone into a journey of transformation to build a new world for the generations to come.
How are you participating?
September 18 - Jupiter conjucting Uranus 28 Pisces Jupiter largest planet expands the influence of whatever it touches, joins with the most unusual planet (which even spins in the opposite direction from all others yielding BIG SURPRISES or GROWTH SPURTS. Resist temptation to leap impulsively into a situation - you are likely to get over your head! Intuition is strong though not reliable. This meets the degree of the Spring Equinox which promises far reaching effects. Unpredictable events that impact large numbers of people are on the docket
September 21 - Autumnal Equinox 11:09 pm It's a magical time! This time of year calls to us to reach out to one another & to create a support system of helpful friends to prepare for the season ahead& the darker colder days to come. People may be seeking some kind of pay-off for their suffering & sacrifice. Maybe knowing that they've been making deposits in their "spiritual bank accounts" will help;
maybe not. There's still a lot of healing & commitment to cooperation required, though it does not happen easily or quickly. Love is in the air, & many people seek new relationships, which are likely to be based primarily on communication; listening non-critically is the key. People who shirk their responsibilities to their parents are likely to be shown the door. Watch out for impulsiveness in dealing with investments or financial matters.
September 23 - Full Harvest Moon 0 Aries 15 @ 5:17 am Time to Burn your Lunar Manifestation List. Moon reaches it's peak early in the morning & despite the fact that its fullness is maximized before sunrise, the momentum of its influences charges your spirits with an extra dose of energy. All the high pomp & hype of this time comes to a crescendo & is marked with the burning & willful force of the Aries Moon activity. A warrior spirit touches you, particularly with regard to the personal challenges in your life. Be prepared for the headstrong attitudes & potential rudeness. Avoid hastiness & impetuosity. There will also be a great deal of confidence, enthusiasm, & a pioneering spirit. This is a good time to celebrate & enjoy the fruits of your labors.
September 27 - North Node 7 Cap, South Node (7 Cancer) Square Saturn 7 Libra - It's a challenge to find the time for all you have to do between your job & home life.

You can get through this in one piece. Peace to all Beings.
