FOCUS ON THE PATH
Monday, July 15, 2019:
It is great to start the week with a touch of excitement as the Moon trine Uranus at 7:08 AM EDT. With the Moon in Capricorn, the excitement quickly turns to a serious effort. Make a commitment to face the efforts required for a successful work week. You will do best to work alone on long term goals and ambitions. The Capricorn Moon supports your desire to climb a mountain to the pinnacle of success. What do you want to accomplish in your life? What can you do now to set your step firmly forward on that path?
With Mercury retrograde, it may be a matter of resetting a previous step or repositioning your stance. Think about the significance of your life and the importance of all that you have to bring to the table. Your gifts will not show themselves without attention and focus. One simple step taken today can reset the trajectory of all that follows.
CAPRICORN FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE
Tuesday, July 16, 2019:
Two weeks ago we had a Solar Eclipse in Cancer. Solar Eclipses occur at New Moons suggesting the start of something new. Lunar Eclipses occur at the Full Moon. This is a time of illumination and clarity as we prepare to shift direction. Seeing the full picture allows you to make the necessary adjustments. Consider what happens when you come to the top of a mountain. There is no longer a climb ahead. You survey your position, gain clarity, and prepare to move to what is next.
What house holds Capricorn in your chart? This is the area of your life that requires focus and stabilization. There are powerful under-currents bubbling to the surface in this area of your life.
This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn is conjunct Pluto. This brings powerful issues of dominance and control front and center. Keep your eyes on all that is being revealed in government and politics. Patriarchal authority is being backed into a corner as scandal and public disgrace are exposed. As Saturn and Pluto continue their march toward conjunction, the battle heats up. Speak up, get involved.

RESPONSIBILITY TO YOUR VALUES – LOVE AND MONEY
Wednesday, July 17, 2019:
Yesterday’s Eclipse was very intense. How are you doing today? I suspect that many of you will wake this morning with a deep sadness. You may feel restricted by outside pressures and limitations. This is an unlikely day for fun interactions or socialization. If you are invited out to lunch, take a pass. If you feel unloved or unlovable consider practical ways to address your situation. What can you do to work on personal self-development? For many of you, it may be more about being financially stuck. Perhaps a powerful poverty mindset is showing its ugly face. This difficulty will pass but don’t sweep it under the rug. It is pointing to something you would benefit to work on in a practical way. Take action on these issues. Look at your responsibilities regarding love and money. Make a plan moving forward to ease stress. Find a podcast that will offer a new perspective on the management of finances or love. Get a recommendation for a book that could point you in a better direction. With the Moon in Aquarius seek solutions and ideas outside of conventional wisdom. Give space to others and make sure you spend a good part of the day alone. Expect a low day that will bring gifts in the long term if you do the inner work required.

TENDERNESS AND ROMANCE
Thursday, July 18, 2019:
Today will go a long way in soothing the challenges and possibly heartaches of yesterday. You will be more able to engage with the objective intellect of the Aquarius Moon. Breath deeply and detach from all that seemed so rough just yesterday.
At 2:02 PM EDT Venus forms a lovely free-flowing trine aspect to mystical Neptune. Venus is currently in nurturing Cancer, Neptune in dreamy Pisces. This offers you an afternoon of inspiration and sensitivity. Allow yourself to dream, to love, and to go with a flow of mystical understanding and awareness.
This is a day to connect with tenderness, romance, and compassion. Passion may take a back seat to a spiritual connection of gentle warmth.
Have an extra glass of wine, watch a movie, hold hands with a partner or friend.

The Aquarius Moon is void-of-course from 11:54 AM EDT through the bulk of the day tomorrow. This suggests that whatever is begun or occurs during this time will not have a significant future impact.
ATTENTION DRAWS INWARD
Friday, July 19, 2019:
In the wee hours of the morning, Mercury retreats back into the quiet sensitive sign of Cancer. Mercury entered Leo on June 26 and has been retrograde since July 7. As it reenters Cancer you are asked to step out of the limelight. Go inward to answer your own questions. Bring your attention closer to home, to familial loved ones.
At 5:19 PM EDT The Moon enters Pisces, a mutable Water sign which offers passive, adaptable, and deeply emotional energies. Utilize the Pisces sense of watery spaciousness by delving into music, poetry, meditation, and spiritual concerns. Spending time on water, engrossing yourself in imagination, watching movies, or making music are all great ways to engage with Pises. Seek rest, sweetness, use your imagination and take the opportunity to dream.

DREAM THE DAY AWAY
Saturday, July 20, 2019:
The day begins with a dreamy, exciting, and fun conversation as the Pisces Moon sextile Uranus. This spicy energy may pull you into wakefulness even before the alarm clock. Go for an early morning run before settling down to a day of deep sensitivity. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to complete the important things you hope to get done today. Your attention is not drawn to action or effort.
You will be happiest sitting on a dock on a beautiful lake dreaming the day away. This is a day made for artists, dreamers, poets, and lovers. When the Moon is in Pisces you are free to show vulnerability, compassion, and sensitivity. Find an emotional retreat by a body of water (lake, pond, ocean, or river). Spend time on your meditation cushion, listening to music, enjoying a film, or a glass of wine.
If you currently suffering, please understand that you do not own your suffering. Every human participates in suffering. As you experience suffering you are able to open your heart to compassion for all humans who suffer.
LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD
Sunday, July 21, 2019:
Last Sunday brought us intense power dynamics and challenges as the Sun opposed Pluto. Today brings similar issues to the table. Early this morning Venus opposes Pluto, brings stress and pressure to intimate partnerships. You may find yourself drawn into dramas and power issues. Take a deep breath, stabilize your heart and reactions before attempting to manage the behavior of others.
This is not the weekend to fall in love. There will be an imbalance of privilege or influence between you and someone you meet now. Be aware of any power imbalances between yourself and a partner/ friend.
Treat yourself and others with an overdose of fairness, cooperation, and kindness. Don’t hold yourself above others, don’t allow others to hold themselves above you. Maintain stability and insist on a level playing field. You may not be able to have everything you want and that is okay. It is not necessary to always get your way.
At 8:33 AM EDT the Sun & Mercury join at 28 degrees Cancer focusing your attention on your thoughts. Think about your patterns of communications. Consider how you can improve habitual speaking styles. With Mercury retrograde, think about how to improve your past habits of communication. Proceed with care, kindness, and caution in all relationship communications.
“We use astrology most constructively and creatively when we gain from it a sense of what is possible for us at the highest levels of our potentialities. Seeing that, the challenges is then to keep our eyes open to life itself, to be able to respond appropriately when some event or change of circumstances.” ~ Dane Rudhyar

Mercury is Retrograde
July 7th – July 31, 2019
Mercury turned retrograde on Sunday, July 7th at 7:14 PM Eastern time. The retrograde continues until July 31st at 11:58 PM Eastern time.
Ignore folks who insist on seeing the negative side of Mercury retrograde.
When you understand how to work with the planets you will discover these times are a great gift to productivity.
The KEY is to focus your attention on all that has been left undone. Clean up and complete tasks and projects that are unfinished. Don’t start anything new.
Be clear in your communications and allow extra time to get where you are going.
Regarding your expectations of others, give everyone extra slack.
When used properly Mercury Retrograde may be the most productive times of the year.

THE TRICKSTER IS IN THE HOUSE
Monday, July 8, 2019:
As the day begins the Moon enters Libra helping you to engage in social diplomacy and creating balance in all interactions.
The first week with Mercury retrograde gets underway. Take it slow and easy. Stick to the plan of finishing overdue projects and catching up on all that has been left undone. Go back and double check, rewrite, rework, reexamine, re-explore. How many words can you think of that begin with ‘re-‘?
Mercury is often called the trickster. When Mercury is retrograde it is between us and the sun, closer than at other times. Think of The trickster coming close and appearing to move in reverse. No wonder we encounter its challenging side. Use this powerful time to deal with everything you didn’t deal with while Mercury was direct. Deal with whatever you have been avoiding.
At 11:31 AM EDT Venus sextile Uranus. Look for a bit of simple excitement or a fun flirtation. You can enjoy it for a simple ego boost and let it go or use its energy to develop a new relationship. It may be subtle, awareness and integrity are the keys to using this for your highest good.
At 6:27 PM EDT Mars and Mercury (retrograde) join together at 4 degrees Leo. Mental activity is strong and assertive. Watch your tongue. It is easy to find yourself in an argument at these times. You are easily provoked and so are others. Find an equal partner for a good FRIENDLY debate, set down guidelines ahead of time. You want heated conversations delivered with kindness and respect.

REMEMBER KINDNESS
Tuesday, July 9, 2019:
At 8:24 PM EDT the Sun joins with the North Node at 17degrees Cancer. The North Node points to your soul’s requirement in current time. The Sun highlights and directs your attention with warmth and light. What house does Cancer occupy in your chart? Please check my Patreon Group for understanding. Knowing where Cancer falls in your chart will help you understand. The house that holds Cancer is the area of your life that supports nurturing, protection, and family. Focus on planting something solid, rooted and strong in this area of your life.
Transiting Sun opposes Saturn at 1:07 PM EDT. You may find that you are being held back by circumstances or the authority of others. It may be difficult to express your stance on the situation due to feeling isolated, rejected, tired, or misunderstood. Spend time alone in study or contemplation. This is not the day to ask for a raise or for any conversation that you hope to gain benefit from.
Work by yourself on a personal goal. This can be a great day for accomplishment if you are not looking for approval or accolades from others.
With a day as challenging as this remember to be kind to others. The Moon is still in Libra which will help you to see both sides to all situations.

A note from a client following a consultation:
“The session was an excellent reminder that opportunities are available even in the most challenging times. Because I know astrology fairly well myself, the review of placements and their influence was exactly what I needed. You followed my request and did so quite skillfully and with much kind patience.” ~ SM from Detroit
EMPOWERMENT THROUGH INTROSPECTION
Wednesday, July 10, 2019:
First thing this morning the moon enters Scorpio. Scorpio is powerful, passionate, and introspective. On the negative side, Scorpio can be secretive and vindictive. Coming on the heels of yesterdays difficulties, make sure to resist Scorpio’s brand of negativity. If you act with a lack of awareness, Scorpio may well call you there.
If you were hurt or offended yesterday consider carefully before you take action. If it is a situation that does not truly require action, simply release with forgiveness.
Spend time immersed in introspection. Look into your own passions and understand the power of your mind and heart. How can you use your profound understanding to support growth and transformation? By extension, your personal growth supports the growth of the whole world.
Tonight, shortly after midnight, the Sun trine Neptune will soften your sharp edges. Enjoy dreams of intangible sensitivity.

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED
Thursday, July 11, 2019:
When you wake this morning you may feel a soft glow of inspiration and idealism. I wouldn’t want you to get too comfortable in that sweet place. The Trine from the Sun to Neptune doesn’t have the strength to override the transit of Mars Square Uranus. This is a very unpredictable transit whose impact may be experienced for a few days on either side of the exact ‘hit’ at 2 PM EDT.
Mars is the planet of action, assertiveness, and strength. Uranus is the planet of excitement, agitation, and defiance. When Uranus shows up we never know what to expect. Your own actions or the actions of another are likely to come as a surprise. Something has to change. What will it be?

The Scorpio Moon is void-of-course from 8:29 PM EDT until she enters Sagittarius on Friday morning at 11:05 AM EDT. This suggests that whatever is begun or occurs during this time will not have a significant future impact.
SEEK ADVENTURE
Friday, July 12, 2019:
Today and tomorrow are bound to be easier than the past few days have been. The morning starts quietly and then picks up steam as the Moon enters Sagittarius at 11:05 AM EDT. Breath a sigh of relief. You may be able to understand the challenges of the early part of the week in a way that supports you and your loved ones.
Put aside powerful contemplations, allow yourself to simply see and understand the bigger picture. You are able to witness a more expansive viewpoint. With the Moon is in Sagittarius get outdoors, go for a road trip, search for excitement and adventure. Look for folks to join you for fun. Keep things light and easy, perfect for a Friday night gathering with friends or night out on the town..
Heaviness and challenge will return soon enough so for now relax, enjoy, and go with the flow.

NEW ADVENTURES
Saturday, July 13, 2019:
What are your plans for the weekend? With the Moon in Sagittarius, this is a great weekend for traveling and parties. If you have a wedding or other party to attend, plan to have a great time. Everyone is seeking new experiences, a bit of risk, and new adventures.
Make sure you get outdoors, go for a walk, a bike ride, or better yet get on the back of a horse and hit the trails.
Don’t let boredom set in by trying to get chores done today. If you have no choice, get them done quickly and get out to play. In your relationships and interactions with others don’t expect subtlety. Tell it like it is. Honesty may seem blunt or even unkind, but you will know exactly where you stand and there is much to be said for that. If you can let go of expectations of politeness the day will be much easier to manage. Go with the flow and have fun.

THE POWER WITHIN
Sunday, July 14, 2019:
Sunday brings us significant challenges to manage. At 10:51 AM EDT the Sun opposes Pluto. With the Sun and Pluto tangling in challenging conversations you may encounter power struggles and wars of ego. Who is feeling entitled and who is feeling unseen? Circumstances are not as you expect them to be, people may not behave as you think they should. Don’t always look for fault in the other person. Be sure to look in the mirror as well. Or perhaps you don’t need to look further than the Sunday newspaper. Watch the power struggle play out in social issues and politics. It may be difficult to take ‘No’ for an answer with this pattern in the cosmos. Practice letting go of ego attachment. Practice releasing your opinions and your demands that you get your way. You don’t need to get your way in every circumstance. Relax and understand the power inherent in kindness and compassion. You are building strength. You don’t need to fight for it. It is within.

Mercury Retrograde July 7th – July 31, 2019
Mercury turns retrograde on Sunday and will remain retrograde until July 31st. Mercury retrograde has a bad rap that it does not deserve. I Love mercury’s retrograde cycles. You only need to learn how to work with it.
Remember! Work on cleaning up and completing old tasks and projects. Don’t start anything new. Be clear in your communications and allow extra time to get where you are going. Regarding your expectations of others, give everyone extra slack.
If you focus your efforts on cleaning up old issues, these can be the most productive times of the year.
A note from a recent client:
“I can’t begin to thank you enough for our recent sessions. I just viewed the recordings and was blown away by the tremendously helpful information, insights and clear seeing that you shared in BOTH sessions. I gleaned SOOO much more from watching the recording than I did during the session initially. And the initial session was totally amazing, itself!!! I felt very comfortable with you. You exude wisdom, great sensitivity, and compassion. I am very grateful to you. Thank you so much.” ~ SC from Sioux City
DRAMATIC ACTION AHEAD
Monday, July 1, 2019:
The chatty Gemini Moon continues to support light-hearted connections and conversations. You can expect a great deal of activity and may deal with internal restlessness. As we move toward tomorrow’s New Moon that restlessness is asking that you go inward. We are in the very Darkest phase of the Moon. The Gemini Moon joins with Venus this evening. You may find yourself verbally expressing love quite freely. Go ahead and speak your mind. Do not hold back the words I Love You.
At 7:19 PM EDT Mars enters Leo following his stint in Cancer. Mars is very happy to leave behind the watery realm of Cancer! He is very comfortable in Leo. Mars, the planet of action, supports your drive and determination. Mars will remain in Leo until August 18th, watch how dramatic action impact the world around you.
At 9:23 PM EDT the Moon quiets down and enters its favorite sign of Cancer. Over the next few days, you will be more inclined toward spending time at home with family.

CANCER NEW MOON – OPEN TO SENSITIVITY
Tuesday, July 2, 2019:
You may wake in a state of increased excitement with the Moon connecting with Uranus as the day begins. This won’t last long. Enjoy some unusual interactions at the breakfast table or on your morning commute. Your intuition is stronger than normal. Pay attention. This Cancer New Moon (also a Full Solar Eclipse at 10 degrees) occurs at 3:17 PM EDT. Think of the Eclipse as a super intense New Moon. With innovative, exciting Uranus in the mix, this is a lovely and very positive New Moon. Don’t neglect your New Moon ritual tonight or anytime during the day tomorrow.
~~New Moon Ritual ~~
CANCER NEW MOON RITUAL
Take a moment to write down the change you wish to begin, create, or increase during this Moon Cycle. The Cancer New Moon asks you to plant a seed of sensitivity, protection, or tender caring toward others. Have two candles available. Light a candle to represent yourself, as you are at the moment. Light another candle as inspiration for what you intend to create, or how you intend to grow. As you light the first candle, take a moment to focus on what is true now in this regard. As you light the second candle draw toward yourself the new YOU that will exist once this seed has grown. Bring the two candles closer together each day for the next two weeks (until the Full Moon on July 16th). At the New Moon, you will see what has grown and what is now illuminated.
ICE CREAM
Wednesday, July 3, 2019:
Today’s Cancer Moon is a bit cranky as she tangles in serious power struggles. If you face a personal challenge, let it slide off your back. Don’t engage in drama. The issue will pass quickly if you don’t take the bait. If you find yourself to be the challenger, take a deep breath and give the other person some slack. At 11:18 AM EDT Venus leaves Gemini behind to enter Cancer where she will remain until July 27th. While Venus is in Cancer you may be very moody in your most intimate relationships. You long for tender, romantic attachment yet find yourself overly sensitive and self-protective. You want safety, security, affection and ice cream. Don’t forget the ice cream.

SUMMER PARTY DAY
Thursday, July 4, 2019:
You couldn’t ask for better astrology weather for a summer party day. Here in the US folks are celebrating with cookouts and fireworks. The playful, expressive Leo Moon encourages you to show up to the party with bells on! Go for a bit of drama as you show the world your most colorful, confident side.
The Leo Moons contact with Uranus increases the excitement. Parties, summer festivals, and all gathering allow you to make the world your stage. You will want to be seen, appreciated, and loved. Take a creative risk, allow others to see a part of yourself that you normally keep under wraps. Allow your most sparkly side to shine through. If you are an introvert, show up at the party anyway. Spend time with the children who are in attendance. This will support the Leo energy without putting yourself on stage. All creative endeavors are worthy of your attention now. Express love and honor to anyone you encounter.
GENEROSITY OF HEART
Friday, July 5, 2019:
Considering that the Moon sets the emotional tone for the day, head to the beach, look for fun in the Summer Sun. The Leo Moon is ready to bask in that lovely sunshine! For those of you who are lucky enough to have a long weekend, this is time for back yard barbeques and beach parties.
The Moon is void-of-course for the entire day, even in the midst of a party there is an underlying sense of stillness.
This is a day to make offerings from a place of generosity. Focus on acts of kindness for the sake of expanding deep love in your own heart rather than for recognition.
Find ways to open to the joy that the universe supplies each day. Live with your heart wide open. Don’t worry about plans, allow spontaneity and inspiration to direct the course of the day.

A HELPING HAND
Saturday, July 6, 2019:
I hope that you were able to get plenty of play-time over the past few days. By the time today begins the Moon is in Virgo, remaining in this mutable earth sign for the entire weekend. This is a practical weekend, made for getting home chores accomplished and helping others as you can. Virgo needs to be of service to others in functional ways. Help your neighbor or friend in their garden or with any projects they may need help with. There are plenty of folks in your close personal circle who could use assistance. Be that angel who steps in with a helping hand exactly when needed.
MERCURY TURNS RETROGRADE: COMPLETE PROJECTS
Sunday, July 7, 2019:
The Moon remains in Virgo all day. The detail-oriented Virgo Moon supports organization and efficiency. If you have not made your list of everything left unfinished, do that with your morning coffee. This list includes all the things to work on during Mercury retrograde.
Consider books sitting idle, emails unanswered, phone calls never returned, projects collecting dust. By focusing on this list you will surprise yourself with your level of productivity. Mercury turns retrograde at 7:15 PM EDT and will remain so until July 31st. Mercury retrograde has a bad rap that it does not deserve. I Love Mercury’s retrograde cycles. You do need to learn how to use them. Remember! Work on cleaning up and completing old tasks and projects. Don’t start anything new. Be clear in your communications and allow extra time to get where you are going. Regarding your expectations of others, give everyone extra slack. If you follow these simple tips these can be the most productive times of the year.

EACH PERSON YOU MEET
Monday, June 24, 2019:
The week begins on a passive, somewhat whimsical note. The Moon in Pisces increases the elusive quality that Venus Square Neptune brings. Venus represents the things that you most value, love, money, and beautiful possessions. You may find yourself scratching your head, confused by all issues in this arena. You may have doubts that cause you to question your love relationship and all that you value. Listen to this doubt, contemplate the questions that arise, but do not assume that there is a problem. Consider the adjustments you can make to grow a more solid foundation. Mediation and time spent in nature will settle your sense of unease. The Cycle of Venus and Neptune is a cycle of understanding the value of empathy and grace. Take action to grow compassion. Each person you see on the street has a deep internal struggle. Make it a point to think about the fact that they want a life of ease and love like you do. Wish this for each one of them The Moon enters Aries at 10:38 PM EDT. This will offer more assertive and determined energy over the next few days.

COURAGE AND KINDNESS
Tuesday, June 25, 2019:
The passive dreaminess of yesterday’s Pisces Moon is long-gone by the time you begin the day. The Moon, now in dynamic Aries encourages you to be competitive, take a risk, or prove something to yourself. This is not the day to work with others as self-interest is strong. At 5:47 AM EDT we reach the Last Quarter Moon, a time when difficulties provide opportunities. Pay close attention to any challenges that arise. Take the future into your hands with the choices that you make. Establish a position that moves your life in the direction of courage and family loyalty. Your actions today will turn you toward or away from your highest gifts. Choose with eyes wide open and a heart of courage and kindness.

INSPIRED AND INSPIRING
Wednesday, June 26, 2019:
The Moon continues through Aries orienting you toward your personal needs and desires. As she moves through Aries she encounters difficulties with both Saturn and Pluto. This may bring with it a certain amount of anger, frustration, or simple annoyance. Remember that Moon transits pass quickly. They leave no problems in their wake as long as you do not engage these negative states. Practice not taking things personally. At 8:19 PM EDT Mercury enters Leo for a short stint until it retrogrades back into Cancer on July 19th. Mercury will be retrograde from July 7th through July 31st.

BREAK FREE
Thursday, June 27, 2019:
At 9:32 AM EDT the Moon enters sensual stable slow moving Taurus. Generally, this would result in a slow day, good for weeding your garden or cooking a good meal for your loved ones. At 1:45 PM EDT a more impactful issue occurs. The Sun, now in Cancer, sextile Uranus. This offers a possibility of stimulation, unusual events, and unexpected surprises. You may long for a new level of freedom, fun, and excitement. Spend time socializing with your more unorthodox friends. Explore new ideas, meet with people of different cultural or ethnic backgrounds. Engage curiosity, find something new that will spark your interest. This is not an easy day to maintain focus as you are easily distracted. This is a fun transit. Enjoy it. Don’t try to keep yourself in a box.

CREATE COMFORT
Friday, June 28, 2019:
After the surprises of yesterday, today you can settle into the calm quiet of the Taurus Moon. The workday should be productive and uneventful. Unless you are in your early 20s and every Friday night is a party night, sit this one out. You will enjoy finding comfort and indulging your senses more slowly and deliberately. Make plans that involve spending time with those you feel a deep loyalty toward. Plan a campfire, a massage, a home-cooked meal. Seek sensuality, relaxation, and a slow pace. Create comfort and a relaxing escape from the chaos of the world.
LISTEN AND LEARN
Saturday, June 29, 2019:
With the Moon in Taurus until evening, approach the day with slow sensual awareness. Stay in bed late, cuddle with your partner, enjoy a hearty breakfast and a walking nature. There is no hurry. Seek loyalty, security, peace, and comfort. Embrace sensuality and constancy. This loyalty and sweetness is not going to satisfy you as you move into the evening. At 5:09 PM EDT the Moon leaves Taurus behind to enter excitable curious Gemini. Plan to engage with friends and acquaintances for conversation and lighthearted activities. The Gemini Moon is friendly, lively, and upbeat. You will seek out mental stimulation in a variety of activities. The Gemini Moon wants you to engage with others and to explore diversity in your thinking. Conversations can move at lightning speed. Because others will speak more openly than usual remember to listen as well as speak. You may be surprised by what you hear and learn.

SOCIAL INTERACTIONS
Sunday, June 30, 2019:
Look for simple pleasures and lighthearted friends to spend the day with. You will want to spend time with friends who enjoy playful interactions. This is a good day to keep serious topics off the table. Get out and about, enjoy new things, new people, and new ideas. With the Moon in Gemini, gather information for pleasure and curiosity. There is no need to attach meaning to it. This is great for stream-of-consciousness thinking, dancing with possibilities and brainstorming ideas. Catch up with friends and respond to long overdue emails. Have fun, seek out social interactions and light-hearted humor. That’s all Gemini really wants.

SAGITTARIUS FULL MOON – EXPAND UNDERSTANDING
Monday, June 17, 2019:
The Sagittarius Full Moon (Gemini Sun in the opposite position to the Sagittarius Moon) is exact at 4:31 AM EDT. Make sure you get outside to see this Moon tonight. When you look up at the sky, you can find the bright star very close by. It is not a star, it is Jupiter, the very planet that rules Sagittarius. Don’t miss the opportunity to see this beautiful Summer night sky. At the time of each Full Moon, something in our lives is illuminated. With the Full Moon in Sagittarius, your philosophical or spiritual understanding will be clear. An overview of the big picture becomes clear. Expect an uplifting morning.
Remember, that your view comes through your beliefs, perspectives, and opinions alone. A Full Moon always requires a balancing of two opposing forces. Balance your opinions with open curiosity about the opinions and beliefs of others. When you are overly certain of your opinions you lose the ability to be curious about others. Do not lose your curiosity. Do not hold your own opinions too tightly.
At 12:14 PM EDT as the Moon enters Capricorn, it is time to settle into the serious business of the work week ahead. The next few days will encourage serious ambitious accomplishments. Put away your traveling shoes; it is time to buckle down.

BEGIN BY SAYING YES
Tuesday, June 18, 2019:
Look for an opportunity to take a serious step forward toward your long term dreams. Saturn sextile Neptune suggests that effort taken now will bring positive outcomes. Don’t miss the opportunities that you encounter, don’t be afraid to reach out and say YES. There will be work ahead to bring your dreams and spiritual aspirations to fruition. It begins by understanding the value of your dream, being willing to make the effort, and the simple act of saying YES. Mercury joins with Mars in Cancer. This begins a cycle of taking action on an emotional or family issue. Begin the necessary conversation with kindness and determination. Your desired outcome is supported. Don’t wait for the perfect time. Take a step forward now. Plant a seed to grow your ability to say what needs saying.
POWER ON DISPLAY
Wednesday, June 19, 2019:
The intensity of Pluto is on powerful display today. Yesterday Mercury and Mars began a cycle of managing an emotionally charged issue. Today both Mercury and Mars oppose Pluto. Do you have personal planets or angles near 22 degrees of Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn)? If so, keep your eyes open and prepare to manage powerful energies. Don’t forget your morning meditation and remember to breathe. When you encounter people who challenge you, keep in mind that they are likely in the crosshairs of this aspect as well. Don’t take things too personally. Use the power of Pluto to push forward. Pluto brings superhuman effort, empowerment, courage, and self-determination.
At 10:01 PM EDT the Moon leaves the seriousness of Capricorn and enters innovative objective Aquarius. The overall emotional environment will be very different when you wake tomorrow morning.

OBJECTIVE CLARITY
Thursday, June 20, 2019:
The intensity of yesterday does not evaporate as the Sun comes up this morning. Yet, you will have a more objective clarity on the situation. It is easier to release attachments and not get wrapped up in deep heavy issues. The Aquarius Moon allows you to remain more neutral, objective and detached.
Following yesterday, this will serve you well. Break free from people or situations that feel claustrophobic or restrictive. Engage with folks who stretch your mind and your way of thinking. Keep your attention on the social collective rather than on personal friends. Look at what is happening in the broader social fabric. Engage in intellectual contemplations about the state of the world. Consider what you can do to help others. Find innovative people to join in progressing the state of your community or the world.
SUMMER SOLSTICE – SUN ENTERS CANCER
Friday, June 21, 2019:
The SUMMER SOLSTICE occurs when the Earth’s axis is most inclined towards the Sun. It ushers in SUMMER (in the Northern Hemisphere) and brings the Sun into Cancer (11:54 AM EDT). This is the first of the three Summer signs of the zodiac (Cancer, Leo, Virgo). The frantic activity of late Spring (Gemini) shifts. You will now notice a desire for emotional security and the comfort of home. While the Sun moves through Cancer, it is time to go inward for emotional comfort. You are more sensitive, self-protective, and moody. You want to care for your home and family more than for the outside world. At 10:36 AM EDT Neptune turns retrograde. The very slow moving outer planets are retrograde for long periods of time. This retrograde is not an issue unless it impacts your chart directly. At the turning point, you may notice yourself a bit less attached to reality. You may feel less concrete boundaries between yourself and others. You better understand the concept that we are all one. Write a poem, meditate, dream.
Jean Cocteau, a French artist, poet, novelist, critic, playwright, painter, and illustrator was born in 1889 with the Sun in Cancer. He left us with a lovely quote that, to me, epitomizes the energy of Cancer. “I love cats because I enjoy my home and little by little, they become its visible soul”.

HARMONY AND FLOW
Saturday, June 22, 2019:
Have you gotten out from under the difficult power dynamics of the early part of the week? If so this should be a great day. The Moon enters Pisces at 10:02 AM where she is able to harmonize with the Cancer Sun. This is a day to go with the flow. With the Moon is in Pisces you are more adaptable, sensitive, and vulnerable than usual. Remember this in your interactions with others. They are likely feeling the same.
You may want to spend time at the beach, reading poetry, and listening to music. Compassion, intuition, and imagination can be powerful components of the day. Enjoy a movie, a glass of wine, or time on your meditation cushion. Don’t hold anyone to a deadline or high expectations. Enjoy a sense of watery spaciousness, delve into spiritual concerns. Use your imagination and take the opportunity to dream.

PLEASURE AND INDULGENCE
Sunday, June 23, 2019:
With Venus oppose Jupiter this is a great day for pleasure and indulging. You may feel more social, affectionate and playful than usual. This is a great day to spend with friends and lovers. Take advantage, enjoy what comes your way. However, there is a downside to this transit which is exacerbated by today’s Pisces Moon. You may lack self-discipline and be overly indulgent with yourself. You will do well to leave your credit card at home and plan to say no to the 2nd or 3rd glass of champagne. Your normally high standards may not hold up under this transit. This can leave you susceptible to carelessness in your choice of friends or lovers. Think about this ahead of time and plan accordingly.
