Your horoscope for July 28 to August 3, 2011

Your horoscope for July 28 to August 3, 2011

By Rose Marcus, July 28, 2011

As of August 2—the U.S. debt default deadline—another Mercury retrograde cycle is officially underway.

When Mercury retrograde occurs, we meet with unexpected challenges, breakdowns, and expenditures. Communication, transportation, equipment, work, and health issues arise. Accidents happen. Misunderstandings and incautiousness can be costly. It is best to avoid contract completions or the purchase of big-ticket items, as well as allowing plenty of extra time and latitude. Temporary or renegotiated agreements, trial runs, and revisits are okay.

Due to its retrograde turn, Mercury will hold an unusually long opposition aspect with Neptune through August 8 across the Virgo/Pisces axis. Expect more confusion, loose ends, disintegration, and economic fragility. What has been lying dormant or hidden from full view will now come into the light of day. The potential for theft, loss, drain, deception, escapism, and violation is great. Lockup, don’t take unnecessary risks, remember safety first, and don’t abuse food, alcohol, or drugs. Stay open-minded and open-ended. Don’t give into fear or paranoia, but stay vigilant.

For individuals and the masses alike, this planetary alignment speaks of our uncertain times, mysteries yet to be solved, and solutions yet to be found. It animates the search for truth, true callings, and the hope/need/desire for redemption. Positively, Mercury retrograde is ideal for self-reflection, creative or spiritual exploration, coasting, and vacationing.

Aries
March 21 - April 20

If it needs to change, the universe will conspire to set the appropriate stage. From Thursday through August 8, Mercury dips a toe in Virgo’s domain to give you a reminder or a wake-up call. This repair, improvement, and opportunity cycle will extend through September and into spring next year. Working it out on multiple karmic levels, your soul has decided it’s time to cut to the chase.

Taurus
April 21 - May 20

Are you aiming in the right direction? Your confidence level will be tested. Mercury retrograde may poke a hole in your balloon, but its true intention is to shatter your tunnel vision. By creating the necessary vulnerability, the message can hit home better. Present challenges are meant to prompt an essential realignment so that your inner desires will better match the outer reality.

Gemini
May 21 - June 21

It is an ideal time to get off the hamster wheel. Visits to home and reconnections with family are precious moments, so drink them in. If you find your emotional sensitivity, vulnerability, or reactiveness are on a raw edge, try to avoid taking things personally. Exert more patience, and adopt a wait and see attitude. Mid-month, watch for plenty to get cooking, perhaps surprisingly so.

Cancer
June 22 - July 22

Mercury retrograde will get you moving, perhaps unexpectedly so. A leap of faith can be worth it, even though it is contrary to the usual advice for this cycle. Still, if it’s possible, explore and negotiate rather than commit. You don’t have all the information yet; expect to learn more in due course. If you can’t stall, trust it was meant to be.

Leo
July 23 - August 22

Can’t be bothered? If you feel less inspired toward the required effort or good-for-you routines and more in favour of indulging yourself, then you’re aligned with the planetary shifts. Struggle, worry, or guilt is non-productive. Ease your way along the natural flow instead, no matter how uncertain it feels. All can work out well, perhaps when you least expect it.

Virgo
August 23 - September 22

Mercury’s dip into Virgo—from July 28 to August 8—will give you a sneak peek at the potential that lies ahead. Whether the getting is good or the unexpected blindsides you, don’t let your emotions or expectations race too far ahead. Try not to buy into projections. Instead, allow your experiential reality to speak its truth and show you the way.

Libra
September 23 - October 23

If you find yourself acting out of character or you start questioning yourself, know that along with revealing hidden potentials, Mercury retrograde will unlock subconscious content that has been stored up for some time: visions, glimpses, hints, impressions, etc. This is dynamic seeding time. You know what’s right and what’s best for you. Stay true. Mid-month can deliver a take-flight time.

Scorpio
October 24 - November 22

Thursday through August 7, you may find that there’s suddenly more sorting out or talking to do. With Mercury opposing Neptune through September, nothing is as nailed down, straightforward, absolute, or sure-fire as appearances suggest. The stars may uncover a blessing in disguise, a lucrative potential, or a surprise window of opportunity. Let inspiration, compassion, and love be your guides.

Sagittarius
November 23 - December 21

A retrograde Mercury in Virgo can pile on unexpected pressures or concerns, but avoid shooting yourself in the foot as best you can. You may be under an illusion that you need to pay a higher price, take on more debt, responsibility, or obligation, play rescuer/saviour, etc. What is required now? Respond, don’t react. Time will sort out fact from fiction.

Capricorn
December 22 - January 20

As is typical of Mercury retrograde, expect to interface with people you haven’t seen for a while. Through August 7, news, replies, test results, ticket sales, or necessity set your next plays in motion. Don’t scrimp on insurance, safeguards, or extra provisions! Watch for an opportunity to try again, better explain yourself, or advance unfinished business.

Aquarius
January 21 - February 19

Mercury in Virgo can compound problems, complexities, or disappointments, and/or force you to face the issues. While you can’t put off or deny the inevitable—especially regarding finances, health, or relationship matters—the stars gift you with workable options. Positively, the cycle provides the opportunity to heal, correct, fine-tune, and embark upon necessary improvements.

Pisces
February 20 - March 20

Through August 8, watch for a repeat or a remeeting of significance. Be it an arrival, departure, ending, beginning, loss, or gain, know that a key person or circumstance will set potent karmic destinies into play. Mercury aligned with Neptune keeps potential, creativity, romance, and déjà vu peaked, but it also keeps question marks, loose ends, illusions, or self-deceptions alive.

Your horoscope for June 2 to 8, 2011

So much living to do, so little time! Three planetary changes over the next couple of days see the world spinning even faster.

Mercury, the messenger planet, begins a quick skate through Gemini on Thursday. This planetary advance increases agility and sets more of everything into circulation.

Have you noticed lately that your attention has been claimed by something that is building up inside or around you but you have not been able to put your finger on what it is? Neptune’s retrograde cycle, which begins on Friday, will help you to find the hidden curtain. In order to pull it back, you’ll have to silence the distractions long enough to gain a clear signal. Stand still, close your eyes, relinquish your monkey mind, and let the vision pour forth. Your intuitive and creative channels will naturally open wider. When that happens, your answers will reveal themselves.

Jupiter, the planet of abundance, advances into Taurus on Saturday. For the next year, watch a major increase in all Taurus-related matters. Taurus correlates to net worth and self-worth, sexuality, resources, and manifesting. If survival is of value to you, then you’ll do more of it. If thriving is of greater worth, then that’s the train you’ll ride.

Aries
March 21 - April 20

You’ve hit a good stride and you can expect to not only hold steady but also to flourish from here. As of Saturday, Jupiter leaves Aries, but he will continue to offer you prosperity for the taking. If you’re aiming for professional achievement, financial gain, or love, look to Jupiter to bring it on. Your charisma, potential, and ability to attract are greatly enhanced now.

Taurus
April 21 - May 20

As of the middle of May, Mars in Taurus pushed the go button onto a new two-year trajectory. As of Saturday, Jupiter sends you into takeoff or blastoff time. You may view your new direction as a radical departure from yesterday, but, in reality, it has been in the works for some time now. Your excellent new adventure begins.

Gemini
May 21 - June 21

Experience is your best qualifier and self-confidence is your best launch pad. From here on in, you’ll amass more of both. Watch for Jupiter in Taurus to gift you with ample support and opportunity in the coming year. Juicier potentials are on the road ahead. The abundance planet will help you to find them and to make them real.

Cancer
June 22 - July 22

You have accomplished a lot of growth since the beginning of the year, and you can expect to keep going strong. While the world—and your world—continues in a state of flux, you’ll see more tangible progress from here on. As Jupiter makes its way through Taurus, you’ll gain more to bank on and have more to show for yourself, too.

Leo
July 23 - August 22

Hold yourself accountable. A serious mindset sees ambition well placed. Over this coming year, Jupiter in Taurus can help you to create solid gains in areas where you’ll appreciate them the most. More responsibility can come with the territory, perhaps a lot more, but the sacrifice is well justified when you know it is the right means to an end.

Virgo
August 23 - September 22

Been burning rubber for a while now? Perhaps you have been too busy to notice, but throughout it all you have gained on yourself. You’ll see a big switch occur now. What’s in your stellar wallet? In the coming year, Jupiter’s advance into Taurus provides you with maximum stellar grace, resourcefulness, and opportunity. In other words, it’s time to cash in.

Libra
September 23 - October 23

While you continue to refine your stride on this new racetrack, you have reached a productive plateau. You’ll hold steady from here as you continue to gain on yourself. Jupiter’s advance into Taurus will give you ample to work with and toward. During this next year, you will move through a key chapter of your personal, intimate, and financial evolution.

Scorpio
October 24 - November 22

It’s all about the company you keep and what those people bring out of you. A great deal of extra attention will now focus on the ins and outs of relationship matters. When trust and true sharing are well placed, Jupiter’s rewards are abundant. If you feel used or trapped, trust Jupiter to help you find the right exit door.

Sagittarius
November 23 - December 21

You are heading into a productive one-year cycle that is a stepping stone for so much more to come. Once Jupiter settles into Taurus, you will find that you can gain more tangible results from your efforts. Important relationships can solidify further. A coworker, agent, or mentor could become more important to you. A partnership matter can see marked improvement, too.

Capricorn
December 22 - January 20

A creative wellspring can juice up now, so by all means pick up the pen, water your garden, or set your sights on that cutie pie. Jupiter’s one-year tour through Taurus increases your ability to attract favour, attention, and profit. Greater self-satisfaction and reward build for you now. Energize it and you’ll bring it into being.

Aquarius
January 21 - February 19

Think big, bigger, best. Jupiter’s year-long tour in Taurus urges you to invest big in order to maximize your potential for future prosperity. Invest in real estate, or aim to grow your business. Put more of your money and time into you emotional and personal well-being, too. Previous efforts can be nearing a reward stage.

Pisces
February 20 - March 20

You’ve been planning or kicking it around for a while; now is the right time to take action on it. Yes, the undertaking is significant, but as you step forward, your confidence will grow. Trust your instincts and stay true to what you know is right for you. Relationship bonds can grow stronger now.

Gemini New Moon: June 1, 2011

5:03:30 PM EDT, Washington, DC

Barbara Hand Clow

"The New Moon in Gemini has arrived! It's time to quicken and share the great innovations we seeded during the Spring Equinox. As we approach this activating moment, our plates are so full this spring! This is because the Universal Underworld (hereinafter "Universal") is rapidly leading us into Unity Consciousness, since the Days and Nights of the Universal are only eighteen days long. The planetary positions during this New Moon show how we can take advantage of this amazing force. During the previous two months with the Aries and Taurus lunar cycles, five (often six) luminaries were in Aries, the strongest activator of the twelve signs. This phase grandly exploded reality on the very day of the New Moon on April 3 when Mars (ruled by Aries) joined with Uranus newly arrived in Aries. Now, this Gemini New Moon is a solar eclipse, so connections with cosmic levels are very strong, causing many to access higher states of consciousness. Contact with multidimensional realms will increase through the June 15 lunar eclipse, which is in close alignment with the Galactic Center. Expect many joyful and creative moments amidst really crazy and intense time accelerations; just surrender and flow.

The many planets in Aries were perfect for seeding and germinating the Universal's evolutionary agenda during the first two Days and Nights. Wow! It is undeniably happening. Now we are in the sprouting phase of Day Three (May 20-June 6), which already is fulfilling its promise. There are three eclipses during Day Three and Night Three (June 7-24); the final solar eclipse is July 1 during Day Four (June 25-July 12). These eclipses will open our minds and feelings to cosmic knowledge. This Day Three sprouting process can be thought of as a period in which each person-from king/president to simple worker-gets his or her ducks in a row. Most of you have been experiencing astonishing and perplexing events. As for the world, even major media commentators frequently say they can't believe how much is going on right now. Things are going so fast that the news is quite unfiltered, since even the global elite can't keep up with events. The majority of humankind knows what's going on in the world because of instantaneous global media; for example, the heart opening reports on floods and tornadoes, and the major political shifts in the Middle East. I am very grateful for this visual and audio panorama, yet tracking all these events is exceedingly difficult.

Observing the world intelligently as it flows by so rapidly is forcing many people to see that the Omega Point-Nine Underworlds culminating simultaneously in an evolutionary orgasm-is converging. I begin with a brief summary of three major themes that were seeded since March 9, when Day One of the Universal opened. Then I track them as they develop during the first two Days and Nights, and we can see them dramatically sprouting in Day Three. The weather-quakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, floods, and volcanoes-has been very challenging so far in the Universal, but including them just adds too much detail. The weather expresses the feelings of all living things, and for humans it is part of our emotional barometer; it can be ecstatic, depressed, or evil (just like us). So notice how you feel during local weather and global weather events. Regarding events seeded during Day One, I am tracking: the global crisis over nuclear power that started with the Japanese quake/tsunami; the struggle for freedom in the Middle East, the 'Arab Spring'; and the global debt crash and deflation that is collapsing the structures of the National, Planetary, and Galactic Underworlds, making new space for sustainable ways of life.

During Day Two (April 14-May 1 "germination"), the seriousness of the damage to the Fukushima reactors was revealed: Japanese engineers feared partial meltdown. In the widening radiation zone, evacuations increased in communities destroyed by the quakes and tsunami. The bodies of relatives will never be found in these nuclear ghost towns. Also during Day Two, Germany and many other countries announced cutbacks of nuclear power plants. During Night Two (May 2-19 "reaction"), the situation in Japan continued to worsen, and engineers zeroed in on other plants that should be closed. Under heavy pressure from an anti-nuclear public, Germany announced it would phase out nuclear power entirely by 2023, an excellent example of the midline taking the lead in the Universal transformations. By the end of Night Two, Japanese engineers said Fukushima 2 is in radical meltdown, since sea radiation exceeded the allowable limit by 6500 times. The meltdown has not been adequately reported in American media (General Electric owns NBC, for example), since this ugly mess might cause the American public to ask questions about the safety of nuclear power. On the last day of Night Two, the Union of Concerned Scientists released a memo (written years ago) by the whistleblower nuclear engineer, Anthony Sarrack, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. It said the venting systems of these GE plants are vulnerable to "the very accidents-including earthquakes-that they were built to address." The Fukushima venting system that failed exists in similar plants designed by GE in the US (New York Times, May 19, 2011.)

Tracking the Arab Spring is much more complex with countries passing around poker chips based on the economic needs of their societies, religious agendas, and politics. For example, some countries in the Middle East are oil producers, such as Saudi Arabia, and some are oil users, such as Egypt, so this differential is a big problem. Neil MacFarquhar of the New York Times reported on May 27, 2011, "Saudi Arabia is flexing its financial and diplomatic might across the Middle East in a wide-ranging bid to contain the tide of change, shield fellow monarchs from popular discontent, and avert the overthrow of any more leaders struggling to contain turbulent republics." The nature of the game in the Middle East changed radically when Day Seven of the Galactic Underworld opened in early November 2010. Revolt first hit Tunisia (right on the midline), ignited next in Egypt, and then the US and NATO got drawn into a tribal war in Libya. When Night Two (reaction) opened on May 2, the American Navy Seals' swat team murdered Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan without Pakistan's permission for entry.

On the very last day of Night Two (May 19), the controller of Middle Eastern master switches-Israel-was in the limelight. Obama gave his Middle East speech on May 19, and he focused on the changes in Tunisia and Egypt, then ended by saying Israel must negotiate with the Palestinians based on the borders that existed before the 1967 War. [The impetus for the Israeli part of Obama's speech was actually a ploy to block the Palestinians from getting a vote to create their own state at the United Nations in September.] Then on May 21, Netanyahu rebuked Obama in public after a two-hour private meeting at the White House, yet "his on-camera critique of the American president also caused some splintering among Jewish Americans." (Wall Street Journal, May 21-22, 2011). For example, on May 29, New York Times columnist Tom Friedman said on CNN's "GPS with Fareed Zakaria" that Netanyahu should have done exactly the opposite. He should have said, "Yes, we will do that." On May 25, Netanyahu had addressed a joint session of Congress saying Israel will talk peace only if the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, repudiates Hamas and explicitly accepts Israel as the Jewish State, a deal breaker for Abbas. Meanwhile, as Netanyahu was addressing Congress, Obama waltzed off to Buckingham Palace for dinner with the Royals, and a speech to the British Parliament the following day! On May 28, during the midpoint of Day Three, Egypt opened the border to Gaza for humanitarian purposes in spite of strong Israeli and American objections. If you have any doubts about time acceleration, these cascading events should convince you that Calleman's Mayan Calendar hypothesis is revelatory. Once Day Three commenced, the global game board was transparent, and we will see these themes developing through the remaining Days and Nights to October 28, 2011.

Regardless of the impetus or intentions of the game masters, the lion got out of his cage. It was clear by the end of Night Two that the Arab Spring is going to totally transform the Middle East one way or another. This is why I'm keeping a close eye on the Arab/Israeli conflict during Day Three. These struggles have held the Middle East in a time lock since 1948, when Israel was made a Jewish state within Palestinian territory. The source of the original conflict comes from religions derived from Abraham the Patriarch. These religions, invented by the priests and kings of the 5,125-year National Underworld, are used by the powers-that-be to divide and conquer the people. They are sourced in scriptures used as the basis of Judeo-Christian-Islamic history. Meanwhile, more believers are resisting this inherent domination and divisiveness because they want to live as respectful sisters and brothers sharing life in the Middle East. Amidst this tense and grand struggle, beware of being incited to violence over any National Underworld dogma of the patriarchal religions. Instead, seek freedom and justice for all the people.

Lastly, the financial crisis just builds and builds as all the participants try to avoid the inevitable. The world economies-the fruits of the National, Planetary, and Galactic Underworlds-are deflating and crashing because they are hierarchical and pit the strong against the weak. The most visible struggle is in the Euro Zone with Greece, Portugal, Spain, and Ireland, where there are attempts to balance the strong economies with the weak, but the situation is very tense. Watching Obama cavorting with the Royals in England, where the euro was not adopted, I wondered if they were planning (behind closed doors) to save the dollar and the pound at the expense of the euro. Meanwhile, the United States is deeper in debt than any of the countries in the Euro Zone, yet so far has managed to avoid a reckoning because of its size and power. In the beginning of Day Two, Standard & Poor's warned that it will lower its rating on US treasury bills unless the US controls its debts. Expect some kind of tightening and reckoning for the US during Night Three. If there is substantial dollar weakening, then the US could default during Night Five (August 18-Sept. 4 "destruction"). As for individuals, do anything you can to get out of debt. Pay off your credit cards, sell your stocks and bonds to pay your mortgage, go down to one car if you have to. Notice who got hurt in 2007/08: people who were deeply in debt.

I intend to follow the deep change processes that were seeded during Day One all the way through the Universal to October 28, 2011, when we will find ourselves living in a very different world. My purpose is to progressively describe this great field shift-the Omega Point-and then to apply astrology as a tool to make it easier to adjust and be more productive. As we look at the Gemini New Moon, even though eclipses bring cosmic potential down to Earth and open multidimensional planes, this New Moon has easier astrological dynamics. As I mentioned in the beginning, the many planets in Aries have made the previous two months very stressful and speedy because Aries just will have its own way; Aries pushes everything into gear and then charges ahead. Maybe that is the kind of energy we needed at the beginning of the Universal Underworld, but I will admit I'm ready for a breather!

The New Moon in 11 Gemini encourages us to lighten up and have a little fun, especially creative and intellectual fun; Gemini loves variety in all ways. This Gemini New Moon exactly trines harmonic Saturn in Libra, a delightful aspect for getting some hard jobs done and better comprehending how the National and Planetary Underworld structures are breaking down. Saturn turns direct June 12, when demands for structural change intensify, and of course this will help move things along in the world. This New Moon is an excellent time to identify how your reality is shifting, and to assess what changes you need to make in light of it. This is why I took such pains to summarize the major change processes in the collective. I encourage you to do the same with any critical personal or collective shifts.

One might wonder, what does nuclear power or Middle Eastern struggles have to do with me, even though everybody knows that "money matters". Well, the nuclear power crisis is going to force everyone on the planet to realize they must become sustainable-put as much back into Earth as they take. Constant warfare is generated by the religious fairytales that people base their lives upon because they've been taught that these stories are the basis of their culture. Well, this pattern is dissolving because evolution and planetary sustainability are the basis of human culture. Intriguingly, Neptune/Chiron in Pisces squares the New Moon, which hints we need to wake up from the fogged dream that we can have anything we want. The ecologist/priest, Thomas Berry, called this dream, Wonderland, a world in which people use Earth for their personal desires. The square from Neptune/Chiron is a warning that the illusion cannot go on forever, and then Chiron is close to Neptune, which means we can heal ourselves by waking up from this infantile Disney-like dream.

Mercury in 28 Taurus closely squares Neptune/Chiron in Pisces, which can enable us to wake up from Wonderland, but only if we penetrate the fog. For example, research the real truth about the nuclear crisis in Japan, since the media is being very irresponsible. Or, consider observing events in the Middle East without a religious bias. For example, when you hear Obama say we are Israel's strongest supporters because "we have shared values," substitute, "we worship the same God." Mercury in Taurus is slow and plodding, yet deep and very thorough. Mercury in Taurus allows us to master large and broad fields of information; we see how details fit together. For example, regarding the religions of Abraham, they all have a human covenant with God to use Earth, which has resulted in plundering our planet.

At this New Moon, Uranus in Aries awakens Mercury's creativity by sextiling Mercury. Mercury forms a little Taurus group with Venus and Mars, which offers thoughtfulness between men and women. Venus and Mars together in Taurus means many feel vital and renewed this spring; we're pleased with our bodies and minds. Venus close to Mars in Taurus celebrates spring, and these aspects in Taurus will help the Arab Spring to advance. The keyword for this receptive and grounding combination is determination!

Jupiter in 29 Aries goes into Taurus on June 4, right after this eclipse. Jupiter's shift into Taurus will ground and deepen the attainments that are coming with Mercury, Venus, and Mars in Taurus. Jupiter sextiling Neptune/Chiron is a very favorable aspect for imagination and healing. During this intense time acceleration, the planets in Taurus encourage stabilization, grounding, and growth within the new patterns while the old world falls away. We each need all the help we can get. For me, the hideous destruction from the tornadoes in Joplin, Missouri, was like a second Universal apocalypse bringing back the mind-boggling destruction in Japan. Seeing the ruin of people's homes, vehicles, roads, bridges, and families is just overwhelming. Much of this havoc is an expression of a continual T-square this spring: Uranus in 4 Aries (intense chaos) is in a wide opposition to Saturn in 11 Libra (new structural balance), and they are pulled into a stronger bond by the T-square from Pluto in 7 Capricorn (complete transformation of reality). Uranus will soon retrograde in early July, Saturn is going direct June 12, and Pluto turned retrograde April 9. These planetary changes of direction energize this T-square, which aims to completely restructure our world. As I reported before, there will be seven squares between Pluto and Uranus during 2012-2015, a recurrent powerhouse that will structure the new world that is coming. This T-square influence lasts a month or so, so we will see more elements of what is to come.

Lastly, the asteroid Ceres in 23 Pisces (not indicated in the chart) is exactly the grain goddess, which means she goes way back into Neolithic times when our species first began to break the soil and cultivate food. Now we are coming to an end of using Earth's resources without giving back, and Ceres' square to the lunar nodes means this issue will emerge during this lunation. So, how does your garden grow? We can compare notes when I share the Summer Solstice reading with you in June. T-squaring the lunar nodes in 23 Sagittarius/Gemini, a really compelling aspect. Ceres is"

The next solar eclipse falls on Canada’s birthday, July 1, which suggests a pivotal year for the nation. What’s the view from hockey heaven? Are we the chosen ones? Altogether now, let us pray.

June 15 delivers a full-moon lunar eclipse in Sagittarius. This eclipse ends a 19-year cycle and springboards us into the next karmic chapter. Think back. Can you identify a life-shaping circumstance? This key learning is now sufficiently woven into your consciousness, and will inform and assist navigation in this next 19-year study.

The lunar eclipse is especially potent as Mercury, Sun, Ceres, and the moon exchange data with the energy vortex known as the Galactic Centre. If you will indulge me for a moment, think of the GC as a cosmic computer. Its function is to receive, analyze, and translate our collective transmissions into a more readable format. What we energize, we experience. We are the programmers of our evolving reality. More mindfulness please!

While their influence is strongest where and when they occur, eclipses stay active and event generating over lengths of time. Note that the July 1 eclipse’s path travels through the Middle East and eastern Africa. With Jupiter aligning with Pluto, and Venus harmonizing with Saturn, much can be accomplished, solidified, or nailed down. What occurs now will define reality for some time to come.

Aries
March 21 - April 20

Destiny has a big package to deliver, with a portion coming now and another later. Wednesday’s eclipse in Sagittarius could reveal an advantage, potential, or opportunity, perhaps well beyond your envisionings or expectations. Watch for news, perhaps from a long-distance relative or friend, or a publisher, teacher, lawyer, or agent. Professional notoriety, a gift, or a lucrative offer could come your way.

Taurus
April 21 - May 20

What you really want and what you are reaching for, are they one and the same? An inner dilemma may plague you now although, for the most part, you are probably stuffing it. If it isn’t right for you, Wednesday’s lunar eclipse will reveal an exit. On another note, the eclipse can prompt added expenses or a large purchase.

Gemini
May 21 - June 21

If your birthday falls on or around June 15, the lunar eclipse will be especially catapulting. Of course, a full moon fires everyone up. What’s real and what’s the projection? Relationships, health, and circumstances hit their peak. Watch for the “it” moment. The sought after can solidify beautifully, or the universe will conspire to shift your sails onto an altered course.

Cancer
June 22 - July 22

Heed your intuition or impressions. Clues or warning signals will serve as advantageous prompts. A repair or revisit can cost extra time. Wednesday’s full-moon lunar eclipse can reveal a missing blank and/or help you to formulate a more realistic opinion, reach a goal, or come to a better conclusion. You could stumble upon a better solution, inroad, or exit strategy.

Leo
July 23 - August 22

A potential or much sought after goal can come into fuller view. Wednesday’s lunar eclipse in Sagittarius can get it cooking or put you on the map. There’s opportunity to travel, perform, free up or expand your market, and make a greater name for yourself. What is established now will grow and generate well for some time to come.

Virgo
August 23 - September 22

Next week’s full-moon eclipse can be felt as early as Monday. You could feel inundated by too much coming at you all at once. Take it one step at a time and don’t let your emotions run over you. Try not to overload your schedule on Wednesday so that you can address the moment as it arises.

Libra
September 23 - October 23

On Sunday, Saturn in Libra ends its retrograde cycle, thereby completing a chapter of coming to terms with reality. You are now well fuelled for action. Watch for Wednesday’s catalyzing eclipse to get the wheels spinning faster. A big plan, event, or ambition appears to be in the works. The moment is opportune to take a leap of faith, so do it now.

Scorpio
October 24 - November 22

If you have been sitting on the fence, or have felt uncertain or hesitant, watch for Wednesday’s clarifying lunar eclipse to set you on a course of action. Once the dial is set, it is a matter of committing yourself and taking it all the way. Whatever the price is, pay it. The profit will prove to be worthy.

Sagittarius
November 23 - December 21

This Wednesday’s lunar eclipse in Sagittarius can bring a relationship matter or difference of opinion to a head. There can be critical planning or negotiating to do. Once the key issues are mapped out, they can be instantly resolved. Saturn in harmony with Venus suggests that a win-win solution can be found. Rely on instincts. Your actions can be especially well-timed.

Capricorn
December 22 - January 20

On Sunday, Saturn ends a five-month retrograde cycle. All this time, it has been like you have been watching yourself through a window pane. With this reprogramming phase now finished, you’ll re-engage with more sway and effectiveness. You have more going for you than you realize. Wednesday’s lunar eclipse can reveal something useful and advantageous.

Aquarius
January 21 - February 19

Wednesday’s lunar ec lipse can springboard you onto a whole new trajectory. What manifests for you now will move you into a more secure future. Chase your dream as it can instantly become your new reality. Someone significant can enter your life or define your next step. A lucrative contract or new relationship chapter is on the horizon.

Pisces
February 20 - March 20
