Week of Wednesday the 25th of June -Tuesday the 1st of July

For those of you who have asked where am I?  This is what I have been writing for the Independant newspaper.

Read your rising sign too if you know it…

Aries (Mar 21- Apr 20) – Today is a bumpy start to the week as your ruler Mars, which rules action, runs right into the slower moving Uranus, which has the adverb sudden attached to it.  Something has been urging you to action since the first time this happened around Christmas.  If you did not heed the call then, the second time the urge came was April 23rd and now today is the last time. Mars retrograde cycle sends you over the same territory many times.  If you do not take action it might happen to you from the outside. Mars and Uranus can be synonymous with a surprising movement or accident, explosion, spur to action, or temper tantrum.  Drive defensively for a start. Pressure to change your work can no longer be ignored.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21) – Your ruler Venus is in Gemini this month and so matters pertaining to communication and movement i.e. travelling, teaching, writing, telephoning, reading, talking, gathering information, processing and sharing it, are on your mind.  Your focus could also turn to affairs connected with your siblings, as the New Moon in Cancer early Friday morning starts the ball rolling in one or all of the above areas.  Spend Sunday afternoon with a friend or lover perhaps at a musical concert; romantic feelings will be high.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21) – Your ruler Mercury has taken his sojourn into the underworld and is ready to come up again out of the depths with some new information on Tuesday July 1st.   Do not drive yourself crazy, especially at these transition times.  People can change their minds and you can get caught in a whiplash. Move and think more slowly; breathe fully and let your thoughts be carried on your breathe and no faster.  When ideas come from a deeper place, as they will after the retrograde, they will be more meaningful to your life’s purpose.  But you have to be still enough to hear them.
Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 19) – New Moon on Friday at 4:08 AM EDT in your sign sets up a new start for your emotional wellbeing.  Cancer is a water sign and water corresponds to feelings.  Stagnant water and repressed feelings can make us physically ill.  Feelings are tied to our needs, which change as we notice whether our needs are getting met or not.  Now is the week to begin the processing of getting what you want by paying attention to your feelings and acting accordingly. Your emotional well being, inner stability and security is a stake.
Leo (Jul 19-Aug 21) – The New Moon on Friday the 27th is in your house of secrets, sorrows, sufferings and spiritual matters.  Going into your room and having a good cry into your pillow might be what is called for-even though it is not your usual style, as you prefer to be like the Sun always bright and shining.   Expressing pent up feelings is not a bad thing, however. Expect to feel empowered when the Moon comes into your sign early Sunday morning and very inspired all day. Maybe you will be drawn to the arts or music.
Virgo (Aug 21-Sep 21) – Mercury is slowing down and causes trouble when he does; we get stuck in negativity. Being overly critical of ourselves or others causes a separation-which is an act of violence however slight. Learning to stay positive or be quiet around friends this week.  A situation you thought was heading one way will make a turn, towards the end of the week (July 1st), as you change your mind in regards to future plans.
Libra (Sep 21-Oct 23) – You are now at the top of the year with this New Moon on Friday.  You should be feeling like the Sun at midday, at its culmination, with a sense of accomplishment. Venus is making an aspect to dreamy Neptune on Sunday afternoon, with very romantic feelings in the air.  Be careful though, it might not be all that it appears. It is a good time to resolve any differences that arise.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 20) – This New Moon on Friday begins a month where feelings reign. New Moons always initiate things, but begin very secretly. This new beginning in your feeling or emotional life will demand steady, and persistence progress. It might involve taking a foreign trip or signing up for a new educational course. You need a new take on life-a new perspective or philosophy that nourishes you; after all you have been through this winter you deserve it.
Sagittarius (Nov 20-Dec 21) – Your ruler Jupiter is involved with Mercury today and your mind gets expanded-someone suggests something and you agree to it.  Jupiter also squares the nodes at the New Moon on Friday perhaps a person enters your life who can assist you, or act as a catalyst, in your financial or spiritual matters.  Your relationships expand.  Meeting someone special this week is fortuitous.
Capricorn (Dec 21 –Jan 20) – The “Grim Reaper” or “Father Time” or The Lord of Karma” as your ruler Saturn is sometimes called, will be stationary in the middle degree of Scorpio for over a month, moving from backwards to standstill before progressing forward again, as seen from earth’s perspective, mid July. So we are at the beginning of the end of his 5 month retrograde cycle (as opposed to Mercury’s 21 days). Just as we get used to nothing changing-it surprisingly finally does. Prepare for the turnaround this week.
Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 19) – This week the two highlights are the New Moon in Cancer in your 6th house of work, job, service, duty and health and Mercury stationing, getting ready to move ahead.  The planetary movements suggest that there might be a situation where you want to start a new health regime or job but a childcare issue comes up.  It will get resolved in time. The people born the 6th or7th of January in any year have it the hardest now with Saturn stalling, both forcing a hard right turn and resisting change.  This week  the willing have an opportunity to let go and surrender. 


Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 21) – Always the last sign because you contain the wisdom of all the others.  Use that wisdom this week with Neptune in contact with the Sun and Jupiter square the nodes on Sunday the 29th.  Go for relationships that expand your spiritual life or benefit you financially.  Being around people who blame others and are filled with self pity is not the way to go, even as your huge capacity for compassion could allow. The New Moon Friday morning is in your house of children and pleasures so start a new trend of creativity and fun with/for them.
