COSMIC WAVES FORECAST AUGUST 19TH TO 25TH 2016

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

As an additional comment for the week, I want to let you know that the Sun have moved into Leo and this will be the last week Venus will be in Leo also. Mercury has gone into Virgo. This gives the overall opportunity for adjusting our lives in happier spaces but a trend to move into more logical and sometimes more uptight head spaces. What I love about astrology is it can tell you exactly where you need to do your work. The beauty is when you get it done, then that next step into the unknown is grounded in self-awareness. The challenge still remains to bring your compatriots into that space while you can still feel like working with them. In other words, you know and live in your happy space and may only be a shining example of what that space can look like if you do the work.

This week is going to have some intense moments on those very challenges. Momentum has been building and will remain until more of us get the idea of how to get along. One of my mentors and teachers, Alan Oken recently discussed the importance of Pluto. For some time, alongside of this T Square with Saturn, Pluto has been a positive connection with our cosmic point of destiny, the North Node or Draconian Point. Most of the time it means a lot of uncomfortable changes. Until December 20^th, 2016, this trine could be “making us a deal we cannot refuse”. This puts a whole new light on our own stubborn tendencies and facing the inevitable. So consider your challenges in this new light.

Also as for timing, a heads up on Mercury going retrograde September 1^st. With the accompanying other aspects, you will feel this earlier than the actual retrograde. Prepare this week for any lose ends to be completed and then settle in for understanding how you can be part of the solution.

Friday, August 19^th, expect a harsh and weird moments working its way into what we hear and where leadership is trying to take us. There will be a conflict of your gut feeling, what you want and what is viable. Mixed messages are always difficult to sort out in a world of agendas, conspiracy theories and mental fatigue. Solace is most likely to be found in letting your personal light shine to those around you. Venus is mixed up in this T Square right now and will soon inch out next week. Be careful with who you love so that hissy fits don’t undue lots of emotional investment. Moon in Aquarius.

Saturday, August 20^th, this is a day to counter balance intuition with logic or observable facts. Relying on one alone will be insufficient. The Moon and Mercury are in opposition today in Pisces and Virgo. The classic battle of do I work until I drop or do I just sit on this couch and let it all happen… probably without you! Try to moderate your attitude and stay away from intoxicants as they will only make your reason less reliable. Moon in Pisces.

Sunday, August 21^st, if you kept you act together yesterday, you should be able to make a lot of headway in spiritual matters. The Moon is trine to Mars and what you feel like doing will be the right activity. Don’t force things, chose activities that you can find real satisfaction. There is also a chance you will realize something very important in your own sense of worth and stability. Reality check that this development is sustainable. Anything else is a wrong direction. One time fixes are not a good idea. Moon in Pisces.

Monday, August 22^nd. Unlike yesterday, your drive is likely to be more of a wild hair tickling you rather than a genuine promise of success. With an exact Lunar conjunction in the morning with Uranus, any event is likely to be more of an energy killer than something to press forward into the future. Try to take any setbacks with a bit of brighter attitude. All things in their time, and no sooner. A smile will go a long way or at least a sense of humor. I know this is a hard way to start the work week. Moon in Aries.

Tuesday, August 23^rd, remember when I noted that our world changes and personal changes are feeling more like “an offer you can’t refuse”? This is a day that meaning and how it will work for you, individually, will be a bit more evident. Take note of all the events and synchronicities today so that you have something to hold onto. There is a Grand Trine in Fire today with those points of destiny and transformation into the future. Hopefully you will have enough energy to push forward and greet the day and changes with a smile or a smirk…. Which is my favorite twist on submission to the realities of life. Moon in Aries.

Wednesday, August 24^th, this could be a very lucky day for many. The shift of working hard on your special project and how it moves into fruition, is meeting a mile marker today. Some people may see a bonus or a raise at work. Others will simply find a way to have the right attitude to get through group dynamics with integrity. Which in the long run, is what we all want. That is to be recognized for our worth. Show them what you are made of. And know you did your best with no regrets. Tomorrow will carry that projection or integrity into recognition. As a note to life lessons, we do deal with regret in our lives. If you are staying “present” each day, there can be no regret because you did all that was possible at that time. Moon going into Taurus by noon.

Thursday, August 25^th, today is a Grand Square that will set a pattern or give a glimpse of things to come. The issues involved are how the community operates in idealism, upheavals in spiritual foundations, hope for brighter opportunities in the future and our emotional nature stubbornly holding on to selfish desires. This is a tough day for those who cling to the unrealistic. You know who you are because your stress levels will be intolerable. In the outer world, watch out for those ready to explode at anything or anyone. A crucial day in understanding who has it right or at least reasonable. I know people are hurting and frustrated. And the only way to change that is a mix between being heard and making internal changes where you can. Attitude will be a major factor in those walking in integrity and those just out of control. Moon in Taurus.

Blessings and Peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST AUGUST 12TH TO 18TH 2016

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

There are some shifts this week that I want to expand upon. One is the apex of the T Square, which is Saturn, will be going direct this week. Also Mars will pass Saturn over the next few weeks also. In real terms that means the things that have been impeding you will have lots of energy and reason to make changes to things that are not working. To add another layer of timing, this week will be more about getting the plans and ground work done. The week after will be seeing the consequences and figure how to adjust for things that are unintended.

The sign involved here, and crucial in this transformation, is Scorpio. So things that relate to how you interact with energies around you as well as your philosophy will make a shift if they are not in harmony with the flow of the future. So clean up, let go, and anything that drains your energy has to be reckoned with. Seriously, you have a couple of weeks of real opportunity to do this, so please even if it is something seemingly minor, get it done! If you don’t, by the time Mars makes its way to Pluto, which is around October 11^th to 26^th, you will have a cosmic two by four on your head. I prefer to take care of things before it becomes a crisis. Especially when it comes to attitude adjustments and outlooks.

Also there is a partial eclipse this week. Generally, a signal of a shift in consciousness or events. This is more a heads up of events to happen in early September when the real deal happens. Take note of what is shaping up with changes in your life and make wise choices. No time to play loose with the facts or realities. Important outcomes hinge on your decisions for September. Hopefully, with so much that is well aspected, getting good news about our heart’s desire will be worth the effort.

Remember last weeks’ notes on Jupiter going into Virgo. Details and plans will take a shift into something very productive. The negative side of this is people who are to entrenched into the past or no longer useful expectations will find illness creeping into their lives. So if you find yourself getting run down or sick, take a different perspective before you are completely out of commission.

Friday, August 12^th, get ready for a very big couple of weeks. It will be hard to pin down where everyone will feel the coming shifts because we all have our own ways of delaying or ignoring needed personal change and development. Consider how work wears you out, but when you come home, there is no solace… why? Do you need to get organized or do you hate where you live? Some people will start to work towards moving or renovating something in their life that will be a lot of work. Face your challenges and put to paper a plan of action today. Tomorrow will be a day to your better life. Moon in Scorpio.

Saturday, August 13^th, call in reinforcements and get to work over this weekend to correct those hidden and nagging problems that affect your energy and peace of mind. Yes, remember, peace of mind? It is not an illusion, it can be real and part of your life. Your job is to start implementing yesterday’s plan of action. Do it for yourself and start early. Remember that the procrastination bug is hard at work today also. I know you will feel like what needs to happen is more than you can do, but the other elements for success are very strong so trust your abilities and do your best.  Moon in Sagittarius early evening.

Sunday, August 14^th, the next few days will show you where all your plans and hard work will lead towards your desires. Expect to find communications opening up in your favor. Don’t lose momentum while the rewards can gently give you instant gratification to your easier way of living. Also take some time to let gratitude into your life today. Moon in Sagittarius.

Monday, August 15^th, persevere through the unexpected situations. They are merely resistance to you coming up a notch of the spiritual spiral. So many other aspects are bringing great satisfaction that moving forward to a better life will help you through the difficulty. On the bigger picture, there are some lucky synchronicities happening to bring about a better view of our home and nation. Moon in Sagittarius.

Tuesday, August 16^th this is a full moon day but much of the usual lunacy that can happen may be subdued. Much of what will be available, should you decide to tap into it, is getting finances in order to create a more stable future. Many times in this country, money is not the problem, it is how you manage your money. This works on the large and small scale of finances. I suggest you create a budget and get real about the leaks to finances and fix it. The result will be more financial security just remember to leave room for joy and humanity. Moon in Capricorn.

Wednesday, August 17^th, there could be some tests to your resolve when it comes to managing your finances. Keep with yesterday’s decisions, and take this time to either find a less expensive or free diversion from the budget busters. With so much of the work of this couple of weeks relating to more spiritual or philosophical shifts, this will be a great time to incorporate better solutions. Moon in Capricorn.

Thursday, August 18^th, with the moon moving into Aquarius and opposite the Sun in Leo today, try not to obsess over perfection.  We only have a small spark of god in us, consider a reality check on your plan for personal betterment so that that glimmer will sparkle. There will be a rationalization that if the leadership can get away with something, then you can to. This will backfire. We are responsible for ourselves, period. We can only control what we do and how we feel. Find a holistic way to feel at peace without the rationalizations of others. Moon in Aquarius.

Blessings and Peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST AUGUST 5TH TO 11TH 2016

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

A bit of a heads up about next week. I think many will be feeling the grind of Jupiter going into Virgo. While there are some great aspects of this transition, such as people are thinking more logically, and we all could use a bit more of that! You will know that you are not going to do well in this time if you have problems with your digestion, mental focus and losses in gambling. Take this as a hint to get back to basics and make positive applications in savings, healthy diet and some sort of relaxation. My hope is level heads will prevail as this continues until well after the election. Also remember there is no such thing as a perfect scenario, don’t obsess.

Friday, August 5^th, there is a tango between what we want, and knowing it does not feel much like we expected. Such is life in even the best of times. For those who can intuit the situation and what they are seeing, will find perception shifts for the better. For those in love, Venus is doing a final dance with Uranus and you should be getting ready to settle in and continue the discovery of what you have found. Moon in Leo.

Saturday, August 6^th, some people will be getting some fantastic communications about how things are shaping up in your world. The greater picture may also seem a bit cheerier also. But still not the optimum. The biggest reason is that Neptune is still up to her tricks keeping key information out of the public eye. Watch out for those who are impatient. They have probably held back as long as they can and are ready to “do something”. Most likely the ‘something” will be a war of words. While that is not going the make anyone’s day, it is easier to deal with than a physical injury. BTW Venus in Leo Trine to Uranus is over for a while. If you have kept your “dance card” open with not commitments, you may find that the dance is over for a while and you will need to wait for the next one.  Moon in Virgo.

Sunday, August 7^th, This is a day to recognize what you can fix and things that you cannot. The T Square that is still in place with Saturn at the apex, tells me that our future relies on community not isolationism. With Mars going to impact this T Square next week, get ready for some active changes to your routine. Finish up lingering projects. Rediscover what it means to do a favor rather than an attitude of “what is in it for me”. Two paradigms that have clashed over time, and we need to shift into a new one… for now. Moon in Virgo.

Monday, August 8^th, some new or just developing good news will manage to make it to the surface of our consciousness. This is something that is part of the shape of things to come. As the days go by this week, more on this state of affairs will continue to flow into our understanding. Be open to the new situation and just try it on for perspective. You may find that it has merit. Moon in Virgo.

Tuesday, August 9^th, wake up to some interesting insights to your present relationship. Things will become clearer and some peace can be felt. Otherwise, know that some interesting developments will come to the forefront in how you see the world and those around you. Expect this to be happening over the next three weeks or so. Some of you will be happy to have taken the road less traveled and held to what you believed. The mystics will be guides for many and how to spot the real ones will be who is espousing peace and love. We have to start somewhere and dwelling in the mire of hate and despair has little use. Moon in Libra.

Wednesday, August 10^th, give yourself a break from the stress of making sense of it all and let the revelations roll into your heart and mind. This is a time to find some optimism and recognize that things are going in the right direction. Turn off those who spout fear porn. Moon in Libra.

Thursday, August 11^th, through this day, the need to expel what is not working and find stability will be essential. This crescendo will continue through Friday where by then you will probably want to just assimilate what has happened and find your center. Remember this time the work is on your shoulders! No blame game today or tomorrow. You will know you are there when the feelings of healing come washing over your soul. Stay there as long as possible! Moon in Scorpio.

Blessings and Peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST JULY 29TH TO AUGUST 4TH 2016

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

Friday, July 29^th, there is an undercurrent of understanding the aspects of “for better or worse” in the general feel to how the world is moving. Ideals are clashing with leadership pulling together factions. And deep needs for transformation in a worldwide patterns. Yes, this did not happen overnight and will not change with wishful thinking. We are at a crossroads and must find a way to navigate, just not in a violent way. The good aspects have us in a better situation than we want to acknowledge. The next few days of obsessiveness will try to drag down any harmony or benefit we actually have. Don’t give into the hype. Moon in Taurus.

Saturday, July 30^th,  what was overwhelming yesterday, seems more negotiable today. The issues are still there, but communication about what is actually needed is up for real debate. Not everyone can really debate without falling into fixed positions. Try to stay out of vitriol. Moon in Gemini.

Sunday, July 31^st, another frustrating day. The key pieces of moving forward are there, so just keep level headed. So much is still unknown. All the pieces are not fitting which makes for many just simmering below the boiling point. A new piece to the puzzle will be revealed today. Maybe the bigger challenge of the day is understanding that manipulation has been woven into our lives and we are just seeing another veil lift relating to the web. We can figure this out if you can step back from the monkey mind and let the pieces fall together. Moon in Gemini.

Monday, August 1^st, I challenge you to find the silver lining and healing in the situation. There is one to be found if we just allow ourselves to step away from the entrenched positions. There are some really lucky situations if you can keep your emotional antennae open to what there is to grasp. The morning will be luckier than the afternoon.  Moon goes into Cancer by afternoon.

Tuesday, August 2^nd, I can’t help but want to hum the Rolling Stones song, “you can’t always get what you want, but you always get what you need”. This should be your mantra today. In a world of egotism, individualism and stubbornness, we forget that there is a greater synergy that must be recognized. We have been unable to compromise in the affairs around us, which has lead to some super hard edges which have cut us into many pieces. Take a breath, find a bit of grace in having your daily needs, and count your blessings today. That may be the only way to find a smile. Moon in Cancer.

Wednesday, August 3^rd, where the heart is, is where happiness will reside. Our life lessons both in the intimate and external are being forced to re-evaluate what is acceptable. The outer world has been formed by bigger forces than we like to acknowledge. Our place is only a small segment of that. Fortunately, while wheeling and dealing goes on around us, we are allowed moments of intimacy and happiness if we realize we are powerful in our own sphere. It could be a day where you decide what is real power vs. imagined. Moon in Cancer.

Thursday, August 4^th, a stellum, or cluster of planets in the same sign, has fully formed in Leo. It will be part of a spoke to a T Square with the old taskmaster, Saturn. This is a tense time of deciding leadership and what that will look like. Just when you thought it could not get worse, expect the political rhetoric to heighten for a few weeks. What does America really want? Have we become so isolated and desensitized to the traumas of life that we don’t care about our neighbor or that desperate person without a face? One of our life lessons is to know that luck have more to do with prosperity than ever before. It is not a level playing field and those wrangling the odds could care less about others. We need to hold accountable those who are really pulling the strings, and they are just out of view. Despite all this futility of the desire for change not all the luck resides with the chosen few. Take your moments when you can. Moon in Leo.

Blessings and Peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST JULY 22ND TO 28TH 2016

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

I wanted to review about the T Square in the “get it together” interpersonal aspects of Neptune (group consciousness), the North Node (destiny) and Saturn (learn your lessons). As the next weeks go by there will be some positive movement concerning this cosmic life lesson we are enduring. In general, the element of Neptune (mass consciousness and subliminal impulses) is contrary to the North  Node (of the future) all squared to Saturn (the tough task master). Right now, you know that we are wrestling with what the right path looks like. What we have been dwelling on is what we dislike the most about the actual situation. Get used to it, because there are still many who just are struggling with the changing times. The challenge is to include the needs that stabilize us, not just ranting. What is good this week is that there will be some heartfelt talks about what you want in life. Getting clarity of what is really right for you is the big question. Are you asking for more or less than your share?  Many are already making that shift from consumerism to living a simpler life and enjoying it. Remember your impressions because in a few weeks when Mars powers up those internal conflicts, you will want to have a baseline set with a level head.

Also that Grand Trine in Water will release on Monday, but it will be hard to tell. Because other great heartfelt connections will continue and amp up on slightly different levels. Uranus has been mostly harsh, but will turn benefit for a while. This Includes some extra unusual and fortuitous opportunities later this week. Still a lot to slog through in the daily heartbeat, but count your blessings that some area of life is boring. Could get very interesting for a number of people through the next week.

Friday, July 22^nd, there is an undercurrent of either being unlucky or just out of luck. Don’t despair as events will shift starting Saturday for those in the new direction. I prefer the second version of luck as I believe that an individual creates a lot of their luck. Sometimes, the past efforts just run low on momentum and need a boost. The same can be said for the state of affairs around us. How do you want to view the situation? If you want to feel unlucky, then throw up your hands and vegge out on the couch. Just simmer in your own fear porn until you decide that really doesn’t feel good. If you want to add a personal push to the collective momentum, then find some way to help the situation. Defusing, helping, and reminding others that it is all a big lesson, so how long do you want to keep taking those tests? I prefer learn it thoroughly, take the test and then move on to the next transpersonal event. And we are in a transpersonal event. Moon in Aquarius.

Saturday, July 23^rd, until the first week of August, Uranus, that old trickster, will be in a good mood. Stay alert for good news about your big wishes coming true. The energy will be more in line with new deals, gifts of destiny, wonderful new feathers for your nest and just better things to hear. Today will start that momentum of feeling better about your world. Breathe deeply and smell the sweetness of things to come. I know that the opposition of some big players is making you question why I say this, but it is all part of the realization. Moon in Aquarius.

Sunday, July 24^th, please take this day to find your center. Many irritants are in the background and there is a moment to heal and take in the perspective of events to this point. You want to be unloaded enough to sense and take advantage of the great events coming up soon. Moon in Pisces.

Monday, July 25^th, the day should start out with gentle intuitive reminders that no matter what happens it will be for the best. There is a good reason why we don’t have all the info before any endeavor. This is where creativity and openness to luck can shift even the most modest of fortunes. The Moon traverses Uranus, especially later in the day, bringing something fascinating to close enough to touch. The next couple of days will be particularly great for messages concerning your deepest desires. But it is anyone’s guess where that detail will poke out. My guess is news from home. Moon in Aries later today.

Tuesday, July 26^th, with an undercurrent of some fantastic mojo, just to remind us, appearances can be deceiving. Take a closer look at what is in front of you or being presented. Don’t let an opportunist take advantage of your good mood. A day to be both savvy and optimistic, so take stock of past lessons learned as they need be remembered or they will be repeated, especially the hard lessons. Moon in Aries.

Wednesday, July 27^th, yeah for a short lived Grand Trine in Fire today. There is a significant connection with the right next step. If it is transformative and looking towards a better future, then you will be on target. Anything that reeks from stubbornness to isolationism will be the wrong way to go. But then, if you need to learn that lesson, again, then go right ahead. You will be reminded by the closed door and lack of success. Moon in Aries.

Thursday, July 28^th, in the morning, there will be a solid link to something better. It could be a special notice that lets your work shine above others or a raise at work. Whatever it is, there should be a good feeling today about whatever you are doing right. Takes some time this afternoon, to make sure you understand just which situation lead to the applause. That way you can build on that momentum for the future, which is a moving target. So stay alert. Moon in Taurus.

Blessings and Peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST JULY 15TH TO 21ST 2016

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

For the lovers and dreamers out there, Friday starts a shift in the Grand Trine into all water signs. Depending on how stable you and your intended are, this could be a hallmark of closer ties and promises. What is interesting is all the players in this are at 0* (Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer). Traditionally the actual first degree or so of a shift is stressful. With all this emotional focus, I suggest that the three phases of Water can be fully explored for healing. The story goes that Pisces is mutable, expressed as an oscillation of all that can be watery or emotional in nature. Cancer then takes that information and synthesizes the information for a direction of use. Then Scorpio creates the transformation into the full embodiment of the emotional nature. I suggest that many will be going into new territories of greater understanding and lasting emotional connection.  This will occur until July 23^rd, 2016. So pay attention and stay engaged if you are interested in that connection of a lifetime. If there is much emotional baggage involved, patience and understanding will be necessary!

On the world front, there is still a lot that is not visible or knowable. Stay vigilant to the subtext and demand better if it is foul. That Square with Neptune and Saturn will break up about November 3^rd, 2016. The good thing is the political world is starting to respond to the very souls they represent, although the filter of each varies in ethics and outcomes. Yep, it is a moving target, but then the voice of the people has been complacent for so long, the adaption will take time. Stay hopeful but aware.

Friday, July 15^th, expect communications with that special someone will connect up in all the right places. It might be a bit tough to get things going but when they do, allow the flow of connection to heal what is deep inside of you. Venus (love and desires), Moon (emotion and intuition), Saturn (lessons and stability) and Mars (power and action) are all connecting together to create a special moment. In the outer world, some type of alliance or truce will emerge with the parts being constructed for the next week. While it may come as a relief to many, not all the players or secrets are in the open yet. Take philosophy of “show me”. Moon in Scorpio.

Saturday, July 16^th, a pressure point to our personal stability is seen in an ongoing T Square with Saturn in Scorpio dead center to the activity. This is a time of fine tuning your spiritual antennae to what is the new message. Strangely, the return message of love and respect is as old as written history, but we need reminding regularly as we tend to slightly change the story to suit our daily needs. With the moon on this pressure point today, know that the unstable will make it out of their dark spaces and want to talk about “it”. Not necessarily a hazardous time, but definitely one of staying empathetic, and attentive. Still a good connection for romance and some confessions with pillow talk. Moon in Scorpio.

Sunday, July 17^th, our hearts and minds are expressing peace and love today. Expect some random acts of kindness this weekend and today. If not, then sprinkle in some here and there where you can. After yesterday, so many people are feeling what is right in the world and just want to express the better side of human nature. Let’s all participate in this day and give a little, and accept a little love. Moon in Sagittarius.

Monday, July 18^th, while today will be a reflection of the weekend, just a bit watered down, I see that getting through the day will go well if the right attitude is accessed. Yes, the things that test our patience will still be there testing us. But hey, you are alive, functioning and probably doing something with your life. Tomorrow is the full moon, which can be a great time for wishes. But instead I suggest that you do those wishes on the moon tonight instead. The harmonies are there to take flight. This is a bit of a lark, but perhaps take a toy bow and arrow and send a wish to the moon? Moon in Sagittarius.

Tuesday, July 19^th, the full moon is tonight and with all indications things relating to money and earning should be abundant. This would be a great time to create some sort of savings account or trust for the future. Anything that has to do with the earth, material items or wealth are well indicated today. I would like to make a request of my readers. The country needs some common sense grounding in thoughts, words and communication. This would be a good time to call for grounding in as many as possible. The future is ours to create, so why not jump in on the right day to co-create with our highest good and personal stability? We all are being pushed to lose ground in communication, so why not take this time to turn that around? Moon in Capricorn.

Wednesday, July 20^th, you should get an intuitive flash as to what will pull together your direction. This will be done in an indirect way. Such as a special news report that gives you hope for a direction you have embarked upon. There will be unusual clues everywhere if you can connect and remember them. Also, if you miss a chance to an opportunity, realize that it was not meant to be. We learn by trial and error. The quicker you understand that, the less attached to feeling failure. Growth can sting, but make it more a mosquito than a cosmic two by four.  Moon in Capricorn.

Thursday, July 21^st, another day of staying on your toes as to what is a real opportunity and what is a false start. Lots of mixed signals today. Also a lot of questions about motivations to your actions and desires. All for the best! By evening the shift will be higher understanding of the cause and effect of things. Moon in Aquarius.

Blessings and Peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST JULY 8TH TO 14TH 2016

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

Just a quick update on the shifts in the heavens, which bring Venus and Mercury into Cancer for a while. Venus will be there for a month and Mercury will be there a couple of weeks. What this will do is bring some warm moments to those needing to step up the romance game. But watch out for emotional out bursts if things get to sticky. It could be going really well one moment and then get your fingers singed the next. One of the irate aspect is that Uranus is bringing  up confusion in the big picture and affecting others perspectives. So when someone gets to an emotional threshold, they remember what that meant at that time and then react like they are there again. Number two is Neptune is still hiding something. Sometimes it is not a big deal, just a trigger point that is hard to manage. Sometimes that hidden and chaotic issue is just not ready to be shared. Keep it honest, take regular reality checks and hope for the best.

Friday, July 8^th,  could be a tricky evening for those wanting to strike up a new relationship with some witty remark. It is likely to remind your intended of something completely different. Stick to a respectful discourse and things may work out much better. This advice will work well in the world in general as it would be best to just keep it honest and considerate when doing anything. Although the tendency will be to be bold, showy and pushy. So if you find yourself strutting like a peacock… tone it down a few notches. There are no new “games” so try something refreshing like being who you are. Let the growth begin! Moon in Leo.

Saturday, July 9^th, any headwinds made yesterday will definitely be pulling together today. Venus is in Cancer now, which means that nest making is all the rage.  If you don’t want to be part of this sort of thing, keep out of the mainstream. Otherwise, luck is in the stars for those who are tired of talking and want to step up the game. Could be a very healing time. Just remember that Neptune will slap you silly unless you tell the truth. Any attempt to cover over the bad spots will create the wrong impression. This day is also good for going for the goods and desires of life. Keep an eye out for sales and bargains. Moon in Leo.

Sunday, July 10^th, may be a day where the miscommunications and the errant flows of chaos may be more evident. This will be going on for a while, so just double check things and do regular reality checks. Otherwise it could be a very nice day for most people. We need to start seeing things through the discord. Nothing is simple, and the days of things just working flawlessly are gone. Complications are met with success if you just ask questions and keep a level head. Moon in Virgo.

Monday, July 11^th, double check the details and know that you can’t be right all the time. When the Moon is in Virgo under these circumstances then outward signs of being sick can crop up at the least expected times. Weaknesses in the immune system may be giving you hints of things to come. Take a double check of how you are handling summer and make changes. Moon in Virgo.

Tuesday, July 12^th, those who are doing the actual work are the ones to consult. “Experts” or managers may not be up on what is really happening. If you need to get information take a different route and speak to the source such as your worker bees. You will be glad you did. While things are progressing forward as they should, it will be a challenge to get your report out. Leave yourself some wiggle room for coming missing pieces to the puzzle. Expect emotional responses from some people. With the heat of the summer in full bloom, don’t be surprised if you don’t hear a shouting match in the streets. Moon in Libra.

Wednesday, July 13^th, Mercury is well into Cancer right now and the elements of shock and deception are not playing nice either. Mercury will be this way until August 1^st when things will get either pushier or more playful. Until then, know that answers will be emotional, self referenced and muddling about in the murkiness of internal dialogue and partial information. Tough time for decent politicians, and hopefully impossible for subversive ones. Watch for trips of the tongue. Moon in Libra.

Thursday, July 14^th, with the Moon conjuncting Mars, this could be a great time to make a wish for success on that plan of action. If you are initiating a new project, add some flair and do it with a bit of ceremony. In life, it is very symbolic to make specific points in a progression of a project. Sometimes we get too focused on the outcome and forget to make notes of each stage and success or failure along the way. We learn from all aspects of a process. Don’t forget to watch for obsessive behavior such as hissy fits (an Okie term that is so descriptive), emotional outbursts… well you get the idea. Moon in Scorpio.

Blessings and Peace,
