Hi everyone! Do you want to play a game???
The theme for the coming month is ‘Coming Home’...to yourself...to
life!!!
Golden Oldies:
John Denver: ‘Country roads take me home to the place I belong’

Simon and Garfunkel: ‘Homeward Bound’
‘Homeward Bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward Bound,
Home where my thoughts escaping,
Home where my music’s playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me’
I wish I was,
Homeward Bound,
Home where my thoughts escaping,
Home where my music’s playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me’
What’s been
happening?...Coming and going like the Cheshire Cat!
Lots of endings, dying off of ‘the old’ energies as we
reacclimatise after the eclipses of May/June. Yes, they brought endings and the
promise of beginnings. We’ve been coming and going like the proverbial Cheshire
cat! Where do we begin and end??? What’s going and what’s coming???
The physical recalibration has been continuing and the
masculine energy is continuing to be a healing focus until the end of July.
Hopefully it hasn’t been as challenging for you since Mars moved into Libra on
3rd July. See attached article ‘On Purpose’ for more info on the
recalibration.
13th
July: Uranus retrograde in Aries –
from 8 back to 4 degrees until mid December...
awakening to a new perspective...freedom!
Uranus has only just gone retrograde until December this year...a
good stretch of time when Uranus wakes us up to new
perspectives, a more evolved vision! New solutions to old problems are highly
likely...if we listen.
Uranus is radical, rebellious energy and is here to help us break out
of the confines of our limited thinking and fixed obsessional one-tracked
living!
Uranus calls us to find our unique selves, what is particularly
peculiar to us, what sets us apart from the masses. This is the jewel in our
own personal crown, the jewel which is our guiding light to finding success,
fulfilment and abundance on all levels of existence. Uranus in Aries is giving
us the courage to dare to be different, to walk to the beat of our own drum.
Are you ready???
Tune in to your very own ‘field of
dreams’:
Retrograde energy is
calling us to wake up,
look at ourselves and listen to the higher mind of
Uranus!
Our ‘field of possibilities’ floats ‘out there’ in the universe
awaiting our attention. Each balloon of an idea is ours to take hold of when
the time is right. We don’t have to fulfil all these possibilities, or to act
on them all at once. These next few months, whilst Uranus is retrograde, we’re
being invited to tune in to our heart’s desire as manifesting in our divine
mind.
Just reach up and grab hold of ‘the balloon of possibility’ which
beckons, which is the most insistent...and bring it down to earth. One
possibility will lead to another!
Be spontaneous! Dare to
feel excitement and exhilaration: Aries energy wants us to take
action with resolution, vigour and speed! However, in the retrograde period,
especially the next 3 weeks of Mercury retrograde, it is best to channel the
fiery urgency into passionate commitment and to expand and grow the idea. It
will take off when the time is right...maybe even
immediately.
Be prepared for the unexpected, sudden changes and disruptions to the status quo...both personally
and globally!
The Uranus/Pluto square which is an ongoing disruptive influence, on
and off till 2015, is breaking down barriers of resistance to change for the
better. Established ways of living and established systems of business and
government are being broken down so that more equitable systems of management
can be initiated. It’s a long term process.
15th July:
Mercury retrograde in Leo
until 8th August 12.16 pm
Time seems to slow
down...
patience, calm, go with the flow! Let’s play!
It may seem as though just as we’ve started to get things moving we
get a Mercury retrograde period which slows us down a little...however, this is
likely to be a good time to review, reconsider, contemplate the current course
of action.
You’re likely to find this Mercury retrograde period more auspicious
than irritating as it’s getting us in touch with the child energy, creativity
and romance. With Mercury extending its time in Leo until early September, we
have the time and energy to devote to creative pursuits.
An ideal
time for reviewing, completing, polishing creative projects: With
Mercury retrograde in Leo, this could be an auspicious time for digging out
creative projects which have been on the back burner, in the filing cabinet, put
aside to be completed later.
Mercury in
Leo...writing/communicating with child-centred themes will
benefit: Creativity is the order of the day. In
particular, projects involving communication of all kinds, children’s writing
and/or child centred creative projects.
Romance: Also, the likelihood of past romantic interests to
be revisited, whether physically, emotionally or spiritually. Plenty to talk
about with romantic interests. Possibility of work on romantic writing...review
writing pieces/stories in the romantic style.
Influence on communication, travel, technology, plans,
arrangements, commerce:
...pigeon post applies!...Keep calm, remain aware...double check all arrangements, vehicles, machinery, technology, conversations etc etc etc!
Communication – miscommunications, arrangements,
meetings
Mechanical –
possible breakdowns
Technological
hitches, breakdowns
Travel – delays,
confusion, traffic jams
Commerce – delays,
hitches
From Elsa, astrologer: http://www.elsaelsa.com/astrology/2012/07/02/mercury-retrograde-july-14-2012/
If there were ever a Mercury retrograde period to look
forward to, this is it as Mercury will be very well aspected throughout most of
the retrograde period
Retrograde Mercury in Leo will be particularly helped by
Mars in Libra and Uranus in Aries which is great news for Mercury-ruled Geminis
and Virgos who have been battered for 8th months by Mars prolonged transit
through Virgo. Minds (Mercury) will be innovative (Uranus) and creative (Leo).
People will think (Mercury) courageously (Mars). Ideas will be fresh, with
Gemini and Virgo leading the way.
All the regular cautions
apply. Don’t
sign papers if possible, etc. Do
go back and touch up any written work, chat with your neighbors (Mercury) or
their children (Leo). Experiment (Uranus) creatively (Leo), especially in the
realm of writing and communication. Mars is involved here so those who exert
themselves will make the most of the period.
The first two weeks of the retrograde period are best.
Jupiter and Venus are also in Mercury-ruled Gemini so all the thinkers out there
– rejoice!
19th July:
New Moon in Cancer 26 degrees 55 Cancer 2.24 pm AEST
...at home and at ease!
Birthing
our emotional selves into a new energy!
Come home to you!
The moon is
all about emotions, particularly significant at this New Moon as the Moon rules
Cancer. New Moons are always about a fresh start for the next month and for the
next year in terms of the Cancerian energy. Yes, in terms of the lunar month,
we are still working with the nurturing ‘mothering’ energy being called to get
in touch with those energies...people, places, experiences...which nurture us,
which nourish us and bring us to live fully in our own lives.
Questions arising at this New Moon are concerned
with a sense of belonging: Do you belong in
your life???
Are you at home with yourself? your life? family? physical home?
general sense of wellbeing?
What energies do you need to encourage, contact, incorporate which
will bring a deep, abiding joy and sense of wellbeing? These are energies which
ENERGISE you!
Which energies need to be released over the coming month/year? These
are the energies which deplete us, drag us down, drain us of life
force.
The more we contact the energising forces, the easier it is to let go
of the depleting energies. So the emphasis now is on bringing in the new
energies and new ideas!
New Moon squaring/challenging Saturn in
Libra: the impetus to bring harmony
and balance into home and partnerships!
Come home to yourself!
This New Moon is really going to call us home to ourselves and to
bring harmony, peace, love and balance back to our lives.
Saturn is insistent
and in Libra, is demanding karmic justice and balance be restored to ourselves
and to the planet. Saturn completes its 2 plus years in Libra in early
October. The push for justice(Libra) in relationships of all kinds, both
personally and globally, has been demanding and intense as Saturn brings us to
accept personal responsibility and to take our authority in the world.
This next few months will see the planetary forces offering us ways
and means for us to step up to the plate and take new directions which will
fulfil ourselves and our planetary evolution. Note how many ‘injustices’ in the
world are being put right and will continue to do so. For example, Lindy
Chamberlain, Schapelle Corby. Watch out for Julian Assange
resolution!
The page ‘Uranus Retrograde’ has a paragraph on Saturn moving
into Scorpio. I will be writing more on this as the time gets
closer.
At the New
Moon: Mars triggering the Uranus/Pluto square...issues of personal and
universal power and energy are brought to the fore! WAKE UP TO YOU!
Expect to feel the fire in the belly as new insights and
possibilities are ignited, exploding the illusions and myths of the past and
catapulting us into the dimension called ‘our authentic, passionate
selves’!
There will be an urge and impetus to take immediate action. If it’s
about creative projects, good. Insights could well involve partnerships and
resolving imbalances in partnerships of all kinds...marriage, friendship,
business. This could well relate to your place of employment, relationship to
employer and the nature of your work. With Mercury retrograde in Leo, the inner
child is calling us to PLAY. This is a positive energy calling us out of the
forest of darkness. Just take your time with taking drastic action. Any
possibilities/opportunities are not going away!
Sabian symbol for Cancer New Moon: From Cathy Pagano: http://www.wisdom-of-astrology.com/astrostarsarticles/the-cosmic-story-cancer-new-moon-2012-values-to-live-by
The Sabian symbol for the
Sun and Moon at 27* Cancer is: A violent storm in a canyon filled with expensive homes.
This symbol refers to a confrontation
between our social norms and Nature. This kind of
intense energy can destroy superficial, materialistic world-views which are out
of alignment with Nature. And it reminds us that as we
face the karmic crisis of a depleted environment and a soul-less society, we
have to change our values - or rather, begin to live by those values we say we
believe in. Our expensive houses and comfortable way
of life will do us no good unless we work with Nature, and our own human nature,
not against her.
22nd
July: Sun moves into Leo at 8.01 pm AEST... Time to lighten up! Time to play!
Our ‘child’ calls ‘Come out, come out, wherever you are!’
The Sun rules Leo, so at this time of year, the Sun’s energy is
enhanced and enlivened. It’s all about creativity, children, romance. Leo time
is such a change from Cancerian energy of the last month where we’ve been
saturated in the emotions, the emotional energy of the mothering/self-mothering
energy, issues of emotional security, the home and the childhood memories.
Cancer challenges us to go deep whereas Leo calls us to fire up the playful,
joyful inner child.
This Leo time will work beautifully with Mercury (communication)
retrograding through Leo as anything to do with lighthearted communication,
communication with, for or about children, is enhanced. Also, romantic
communication/connections can be positively reviewed, ‘rewritten’(from the past)
re-communicated.
Even with Mercury retrograde, Leo puts a positive spin on
everything!
On a personal level, it’s time to SHINE the light on yourself and
uncover your deepest and most cherished desires...what brings you JOY!
See yourself as that child saying ‘this is
ME!’
Songs for Leo time: ‘May the Long Time Sun’,
Snatam Kaur...
Also, for the inner child: ‘The Sun shines on everyone’, Snatam
Kaur... about 8 to 9 minutes, but great pics of children!
New Pages to the right:
‘Uranus Retrograde’- astrologer Salvador Russo..lengthy but captures
the essence of upcoming changes
‘On Purpose’ – Lauren Gorgo...reinforces much of what has been
written above, aligning with the astrological forces of next few
months!
Upcoming Dates:
2nd August: Full Moon in Aquarius 1.27 PM AEST
at 17 degrees Aquarius
7th August: Venus moves into Cancer until
7th September
8th August: Mercury moves direct in
Leo
That’s it for the time being everyone!
Slow down a a little, take your time with everything, reconsider,
review and regroup...take a breather! And PLAY!!!
Love and blessings to all

ReplyDeleteThanks Diane
ReplyDeleteAn interesting site. The lynch mob/scapegoat pathology is still very much embedded in our world. However, I am optimistic that the ongoing revelations of facts and truth by growing numbers of journalists and truth seekers, will continue to awaken the masses to misinformation. Of course, education is the key...and I mean education without propaganda. It's not easy for people to discern truth from opinion without the development of critical thinking skills. The current 'makeover' of the mass media will, I imagine, lead to many more small, independent media outlets on the net. It's just the beginning.
