September begins with Mercury retrograde until the 12th. The days between August 20 when Mercury’s retrograde began, up to Sept. 3, are best for completing old tasks. Sept. 3rd marks the halfway part of this communications breakdown Mercury retrograde cycle. This through September 15th begins a time when you can do behind the scenes planning for future projects.

One of the more troublesome aspects, the summer’s T square, is beginning to break up now, as Saturn moves away from it’s square to Pluto. This aspect occurs again in the late spring of 2011. September, in particular, spotlights a “lucky streak.” Some can expect financial windfalls, an inheritance, or a lottery win.

We have watched the ups and downs of financial conditions of various countries around the world, from the relative steadiness of Germany to the near collapse of Iceland and Greece, and the TARP program in the US that probably kept everyone from living in a Hooverville environment or selling apples in the street, as people did back in the 1930*s. Politics comes on the scene as they prepare for the November elections. Are we due for a positive financial change as well as a political change? Only the planets know for sure.

Expect upsets around the Fall Equinox and Full Moon on the 23rd before we settle into a relatively quiet October; except for the television political ads, that is!

When I looked at the 2010 hurricane list of names in April, I picked out Earl, Ivan, and Matthew to be star performers. For my September predictions, join my subscription pages.

STARGAZING – YOUR WEEKLY FORECAST

Week of August 30 – September 5, 2010

The Air Signs
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Venus, Mars and Saturn are camped out together. Your mind is yearning for exploration so let your curiosity roam and enjoy the journey. This process will provide excellent opportunities to meet like-minded individuals who can influence your life path into the future. Monday’s Moon-Mercury trine helps you decide about starting or continuing a relationship. The Moon forms a challenging aspect with Neptune on Tuesday. Be sure to stay tactful with your partner at all times at home. And be careful of being too flirtatious mid week, it can cause misunderstandings. Tuesday the Moon sextiles Uranus just before entering Gemini and inspiring lovers toward creativity. But heed Saturn’s advice and ignore surging emotions until Thursday, because once the Moon trines Neptune and Chiron, you’d rather lose yourself in the moment than linger over hurt feelings. Mercury retrograde is affecting you on a sub-conscious level; pay close attention to your dreams. Your creative juices are also flowing fervently. A Venus/ Neptune trine makes this weekend a wonderful time for dressing to impress and doing something wildly fun.

Your Love Week—Air Signs: Love is in the air as this week begins. If you’re in a relationship, pull out the candles and other romantic trappings, and kidnap your partner for the evening. Neither one of you will regret it. With the Moon in Taurus through Tuesday, it’s hard to discourage someone who’s a little too interested. Balance hope and patience once the Moon enters Gemini, sextiles Jupiter, and trines Saturn, especially during Wednesday’s Sun-Moon square when everybody’s fighting. Thursday the Moon trines three planets and one moody comet, and you’re all about love not war. If you’re looking for love, the Moon forms a romantic trine with Venus on Thursday, which creates the right mood for connections. So let yourself go with the flow and see where it takes you. Keep an open mind. If you’re single, your chances for meeting someone are high, so accept those social invitations, especially from friends who are interested in stepping off the beaten path and exploring alternative ideas. It’s harder on Friday when the Cancer Moon demands solutions for a wide range of relationship issues. Mars sextiles the asteroid Ceres on Friday, urging physical release. Friends and maybe lovers forgive you Saturday when Venus trines Neptune and squares the Moon. Saturday’s Venus-Neptune trine and Sunday’s Venus-Chiron trine help you find love in the right places. Generosity comes easily as everyone relaxes on Sunday.

The Fire Signs
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

This Monday the Moon forms a friendly link with the Sun This brings opportunities that are not to be missed! If you’re in doubt just say “yes.” Mercury is moving backwards towards the Sun in the same area of your chart though, so take care with financial risks. There will be an awful lot of frustration surrounding you this week, but you stay level headed, and can be a ray of sunshine for struggling colleagues and loved ones. If you’re looking for love be sure to take action this week, while Jupiter is still in adventuresome Aries. Jupiter is moving backwards which can make staying in touch with your natural good humor challenging at times. This is an opportunity to work on keeping your cool and maintaining your generous spirit afloat, even when times are tough. Be sure to let your hair down after hours and have a little fun. Singles, Monday and Thursday are excellent for connecting with people on the same wavelength as you are. But don’t have high expectations for anything serious right away; take it slow and above all, enjoy. Monday and Thursday are both excellent for making love connections. Couples, be patient with your partner. On Friday the Sun overtakes Mercury, letting you know that change is just around the corner.

Your Love Week—Fire Signs: How do you handle stubborn partners or inaccessible love objects? The Taurus Moon teases you Monday and is quincunx Ceres early Tuesday, withholding what you desire. If you’re looking to start a relationship or make sparks with someone you love, not much happens until Tuesday evening when the Moon enters Gemini and sextiles Jupiter. The Gemini Moon blows hot and cold, with a come-hither Jupiter sextile Tuesday night, a hostile Sun square on Wednesday. Love gets another chance, although with Wednesday’s Moon-Sun square it’s more like confrontation than consummation! Everyone feels sexier and more trusting on Thursday Jupiter trines to ever-so-willing Venus and Mars on Thursday. Friday the Cancer Moon squares Jupiter and Mars sextiles Ceres, leading to broken promises and impatient arousal. Friday and Saturday could be romantically challenging unless you use the Sun-Mercury conjunction and Sun-Moon sextile to deliver what your partner needs. Whether or not your date spends Saturday night with you, Sunday lifts your spirits and self-esteem. The Moon enters Leo Sunday morning, in favorable aspects to Jupiter and Saturn. Now things can really heat up.

The Water Signs
Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Your love week starts off with the Moon forming a friendly trine with the Sun, which spells social fun and opportunities to meet new people for single Water Signs. Your emotional intensity, unmatched by any other signs in the zodiac, will be heightened on Tuesday, as the Moon makes a challenging aspect to Neptune. Mercury retrograde further complicates communication issues, so be careful with moodiness at home and take care to sugar coat everything you have to say. Emotional honesty will be important with your partner, but go easy when opening up to them; too much intensity will be hard for them to swallow. The Sun and clever Mercury connect this week. This helps you find creative solutions to problems within your couple. You’re thinking unconventionally, and you’re able to use the right touch of humor to lighten up the mood around you, just when it needs it. Jupiter retrograde is interfering with progress on the job, and communication with colleagues is scrambled; be patient. On Friday the Sun overtakes the retrograde messenger planet, easing your burden and announcing the light at the end of the tunnel. Friday, bringing good news for your pocketbook. At the weekend, Venus connects nicely with spiritual Neptune. This creates a wonderful mood of mellow relaxation to be shared with someone who’s on your watery wavelength.

Your Love Week—Water Signs: Monday finds you pouring on the passion, but Tuesday’s Moon-Mars quincunx hits the brakes. Monday the Taurus Moon clarifies the state of your heart when it trines Mercury. Tuesday it squares your ruling planet Neptune and sextiles Uranus, making trouble if you’re playing with the wrong person. When the Moon enters Gemini and is quincunx Pluto early Wednesday, suppress the emotions nobody wants to hear. Don’t expect much sympathy Wednesday. And can you handle all the attention Thursday when the whole world starts coming on to you? They’re ready for your romantic overtures on Thursday, but a Moon-Ceres opposition has you giving more than you get. The Cancer Moon opposes Pluto on a tense Friday, interfering with fantasy and reality. Friday’s Moon demands commitment. Even if you aren’t ready, Saturday’s Venus-Neptune trine allows love to grow under pressure. Mars and Pluto spend the weekend stirring you up. If you know a Fire Sign, maybe his or her luck will rub off on you. Hook up with a Fire Sign on Sunday to bask in his or her glow.

The Earth Signs
Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn

The beginning of your week is ripe with opportunity. The Moon in Taurus forms a double trine with both the Sun in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn. Speak up for what you want and say ‘yes’ when you get an attractive offer. Work matters continue suffering blows from Mercury in retrograde. Things will not move ahead and it’s best to recognize the limits of the situation and press on with what you know. If you’re in a relationship, your partner may be feeling under pressure. The Moon, the Sun and Pluto join forces to bring more stability to your life. You’ll be feeling strong and confident, just when many of your colleagues and friends will be floundering in decision making difficulties. Your opinion and advice will be welcome. Mercury is still retrograde so don’t try to force anything with regards to your own projects. Take stock and hone in on details that need careful attention. Uranus is still creating tension between you and your partner but take heart: Jupiter is on its way into your love zone and the closer it gets, the better you will feel. On Friday the Sun forms a lovely connection with Mercury, which eases up financial woes. If you’re single enjoy the romance created by the Venus/ Mars conjunction but don’t rush anything. Give them the benefit of all your support and stamina, and plan something special over the weekend. Singles, you could find love with a Virgo.

Your Love Week—Earth Signs: Use the Moon-Mercury trine to win someone’s heart on Monday. On Tuesday you’re too charming until the Moon sextiles Uranus, enters Gemini, and lets you apply that gentle pressure. The Moon is in Taurus through late Tuesday, but unless you’re with a Virgo or Pisces, expect foot-dragging. During Wednesday’s Moon-Saturn trine, choose patience and calm over fighting and breaking up. But when the Moon squares the Sun and Mercury in Virgo Wednesday, current or possible lovers run from you. The Moon-Venus trine finds everyone a date on Thursday. Thursday supports loving communication, and relationships take a big step forward Friday when the Sun conjoins Mercury and both sextile the Cancer Moon. Only Virgos remain on your wavelength Friday, when the Sun and Mercury smile on you Earth Signs, but the Cancer Moon has major issues. Saturday’s Moon-Venus square suggests you spend the night entertaining friends instead of pursuing romance. Saturday’s Venus-Neptune trine and Moon-Venus square treat you to a memorable date, and your luck holds on Sunday, too. Sunday’s Venus-Chiron trine makes romantic surrender seem like your best option.

OUT OF BODY AND PAST LIFE REGRESSION – ARE THEY THE SAME?

By Elizabeth Joyce

Experiencing and using regression as a tool for healing has been used for centuries. Regressions help you heal current emotional ailments, such as vertigo, fear of failure, and some physical illness, as well as helping you understand current relationships.

Soul travel, astral travel, the out-of-body experience is different than a regression, but the same, because you are using the Universal body for both experiences; you Soul travel when you are having an operation and perceive yourself out of your body, watching the experience. You Soul travel when you dream of visiting France or Italy and plan your trip.

Many energy healers Soul travel to give distant healing to others who are living far away. A Reiki Master sends the seals and an energetic stream to someone at a distance, but they can also sense they are standing by the person, and give the energy to the Universal self of the client. Their Universal body goes to the client’s Universal body and gives the client a healing session.

When I was a child I hated going to the dentist. I developed a way to stop my fear, as well as not fell the pain. I used the Little Person concept, without realizing I was naturally having an out-of-body experience. The moment I sat in the dentist chair, I would close my eyes and picture myself sitting on the windowsill, looking back at me. I would stay there until the dentist “woke me up” to tell me he was done.

Every time I did this, my body would become numb, like your hand going to sleep. When I had to drink the water to rinse out my mouth, I could not feel or hold the glass. The dentist would have to help me. Eventually he became curious and asked me what I was doing. He got a big kick out of it. At the time I was about eight years old, but I still do that mind exercise when I go to the dentist.

Past Life Regression is the process of remembering your prior lives, while Soul travel (OBE) is the ability to explore any place on the earth or within the Universe without using your physical body.

A Past Life Regression session, processing uncomfortable subconscious memories, is healthier than continuing to allow them to negatively influence your present life. Regressions can help you understand your current, painful relationships in this lifetime.

Steps to prepare for your first Past Life Regression

1. 1. Meditate and learn how to quiet the mind before you do a regression. This will help you relax and accept the process. It is also beneficial in lifting fear from the experience of either a regression or an out-of-body experience.

   2. Understand and get familiar with your Universal Body. This is the part of you that Soul Travels in the Out-of-Body experience as well as travels back in time to review all of your past lives.

   3. Have no fear of Soul Travel – know this is natural and you are safe. All of your previous lifetimes are stored within your cellular memory, as is your physical DNA makeup.

   4. Don’t allow the emotions to hurt you – even though someone you know today wronged you in a past life hundreds of years ago, understand the reason for Soul lessons.

   5. As you prepare to regress, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and surround yourself with a spiritual, protective White Light. Know that this light energy will protect you from coming to any harm.

   6. Accept the first thing you see as the beginning of a past-life experience. Don’t question or begin to reason or argue with yourself. Trust the process. Notice as much detail as you can with whatever comes to mind.

   7. Forgive – yourself and others – this is the main focus of a past life regression.

   8. Let go of any and all expectations. A conflict you are experiencing in this life may have been building up over several past lifetimes. For example, your brother may be you son, then your father, and finally your husband – bringing specific emotions and lessons up to the surface to be healed.

   9. You are not making up a story-you are re-living a past life experience. Trust yourself and your body that this is true. Be aware of your feelings inside as you do the regression.

   10. As you watch the lifetime, sense that you are in the front row of a movie theater watching a show. This will help you if any painful emotions come up.

   11. A replay of past life events brings the opportunity to see the results of past actions, helping you to make more empowering choices in this lifetime.

Sometimes people cannot go to the end of the lifetime in one session because of the details and the emotions the memory triggers. They will run out of steam, or want to wake up if they are not ready to face what is being brought up. When they come back into their body, the practitioner can remind then they are safe and protected.

In my classes, I take the students into two past lives, and we go right through the lifetimes. This way they can experience death and rebirth, which does two things. 1) It lessons your fear of death. 2) It deepens the belief of afterlife. In other words, this experience proves there is no death, as well as sets you free from many traumas and phobias.

The Near Death Experience teaches you that you are Spirit and you are truly the Universal body self; the Light body. You instantly comprehend the true value of experiencing life in the physical world and how to be in the world but not apart of it. (John 17:6) You realize that your Soul chose to return back to Earth for more lessons. You have a second chance in this lifetime to develop a more spiritual perspective in life and find the joy through love and service by helping others.

An out-of-body, near-death-experience is different from a chosen out-of-body experience. When people come back from their NDE experience their lives are transformed and their lives become very different because they realize the value of love and forgiveness. Those Souls who die before they have this inner realization, have to wait for their next incarnation and repeat the life, hoping they remember the Truth sometime during the next life.

At times, while sleeping, people have visitations from the dead. This is another form of an OBE because your Universal body is outside of you, experiencing a telepathic conversation with someone who has crossed over. People will say, “My father came to me in a dream,” or, “My mother came to tell me she was okay and safe, I am so relieved.” When a psychic speaks with the dead, they are having a telepathic conversation with a Universal body. Actually, this experience is more common that we realize.

It is believed there have been a few individuals that have had enough power to “double” their bodies, consciously appear at the same moment in the earth in two different locations, known as bi-location. At the same time some are able to do this while appearing in a second location in the next higher dimension – they would be invisible to the eye, but their energy could be felt. Often this occurs with distant healing. (Read: Ascension—How To Access The Fifth Dimension )

Universal body communication: It is possible to appear in front of someone that is awake, communicating with their Universal mind. They may not be able to see you, or may just feel as if they imagined you were there, seeing only a wispy part of the Universal body. However, they might actually begin thinking about you, and even hear in their mind the words you are communicating to them. Those in a lower dimension would never imagine that you were actually in their presence.

You can also meet an unconscious fragment of an alive person during out of body travel, while they are awake. This type of meeting would not be in the physical earth, but would instead be in a higher dimension. You would be able to directly communicate with them however, their conscious mind would have little or no knowledge of the meeting.

Life goes on whether we are in a human body or our more refined form, which is called the etheric or Universal self. We are all going through this same process— think how much more progress we could make if we were aware of what we are here to study in this life— our life’s purpose. This knowledge, which is coming to each and every one of us over the next two years, before 2012, enables us to develop the ability to make better choices in our present lifetime, and to enjoy living each moment more creatively and lovingly, no matter what our circumstances.

Souls continue to reincarnate as various human beings in different time periods and environments. This knowledge brings the lesson that involves understanding what it is to be human in all circumstances, from all perspectives. Karma not a result of reward and punishment, rather a perfecting process of the Soul, and every experience has a positive outcome because there is always a chance for Soul growth.

Mercury turned retrograde on Aug. 20th and continues through Sept. 12th. This communications breakdown cycle goes backwards through detail-oriented Virgo. If you have natal planets in Virgo, you are even more highly affected by this backward cycle. For everyone, it is time to pull back and tend to all the little things that you have been putting off. (Like installing or learning new software, getting those gutters cleaned before fall, or other boring projects).

It’s that time again. Mercury is retrograde and you can surely expect miscommunications, problems with technology, traffic delays, upsets with real estate, contracts, and more than a little frustration. The things that happen during any Mercury Retrograde push us toward a better understanding of the concept of organization, and this time that will be truer than ever, because Virgo is the sign of organization and doing everything with perfection.

Mercury, the mischievous imp, plays havoc with your schedule, your life events, and sometimes even your sanity when it moves backward in the sky. There’s no need to worry though, because this event occurs three or four times a year. When we take a look at this tricky planet, we can learn his game plan, and the more we learn about it, the better we can cope with these events.

If you already know about the discombobulating events that occur when mercury retrogrades, then this can be a reminder for you to use caution at this time. If this is your first time hearing about retrograde phases, then sit down and put your feet up, hang on, and know that you are in for a bumpy ride.

At the same time, relationship planets Venus and Mars are traveling close together for the next six weeks, currently in Libra and then in Scorpio. This is an alignment that normally only lasts a few days, so their extended dance together is meaningful. Your love life and ambition, and values surrounding those important aspects of life, is going to change before the not so distant Thanksgiving Day holiday in late November. It may be that those desires which held your attention are going away to make room for something new in the area of work, love, and money. For others, those aspects of your life will simply go through adjustments. Either way, something or someone is going to be released.

STARGAZING – WEEK OF

AUGUST 23 – 29, 2010

The Air Signs
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

A plethora of planets in Libra are helping you Air Signs make progress by leaps and bounds this week. Venus, Mars and the Moon are making sure you are at your most attractive. Single Air Signs will be spoilt for choice! And many Air Signs in relationship find they’re in osmosis with their partner. A Moon/Mars trine on Monday kicks your work week off to a confident start. You’re taking the initiative and leaving no doubt as to your competence. The Moon is in Aquarius at the beginning of the week, and flirting with Venus, which has the effect of giving you very high morale. You’re also inspired to pamper yourself and others, and you may make an important investment or purchase a high price item, such as a vehicle. Singles, Jupiter retrograde forms a link with the fickle Moon which has you holding back. You’re eyeing potential prospects with a measure of distrust and suspicion. If you’re in a relationship, Neptune retrograde in your sign is making you dreamy and romantic. But your partner wants you to come to earth and focus on practical matters. Finally, there’s not much activity job-wise, but you’re not exactly scrabbling for opportunities either. Keep in mind that Friday is a time to be spontaneous! A Taurus Moon at the end of the week creates a bit of instability surrounding money. Err on the side of caution and you will come through it okay.

Your Love Week—Air Signs: With the Moon in Aquarius through early Tuesday, take a balanced approach to love. With Mars and Venus still in Libra, Monday’s about love as both trine the Aquarius Moon. But on Tuesday when the Full Moon enters Pisces and is quincunx Saturn, examine your motivations. The Pisces Full Moon hints at happily ever after, but by late Wednesday the Sun-Pluto trine tells you it’s about the journey, not the destination. By Wednesday evening, Mars and Venus suggest seeing someone else, whether you’re ending a relationship or gaining perspective before starting one. Thursday night the Moon conjoins Uranus before entering Aries, spurring you to act on a false feeling or signal. Once the Moon enters Aries on Thursday and opposes Saturn on Friday, self-control may be hard. Unless you’re involved with a Sagittarius, confusion or anger colors your Friday and Saturday. Saturday’s Moon-Mars opposition helps resolve some unfinished business hanging over you. Sunday morning the Moon sextiles Neptune and Chiron before entering Taurus. Love feels possible again under Sunday’s Taurus Moon. Whew! You can trust your intuition about relationships again.

The Fire Signs
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

This week the Sun says goodbye to Leo and enters Virgo, depriving you Fire Signs of all that extra energy you’ve had over the past month. You feel better financially, as delays and blockages are over and you enjoy a healthier balance. A Moon/Venus trine influencing your communication and progress helps you make an important contact at the beginning of the week, that helps move a previously blocked personal project ahead, which is an exciting relief. The single Fire Signs can benefit from Jupiter retrograde, which helps deepen a new relationship or brings someone who’s been too distant for your taste, closer. A Moon/ Mars trine also creates an excellent atmosphere for dating fun. If you’re in a couple your union is serene, except for a budget worry that could have you battling it out in a heated debate. And Pluto retrograde is counseling prudence, budget-wise. The Moon and Pluto retrograde indicate you may need to change your modus operandi on the job. Some better time management is called for. If you’re in a relationship, Neptune is making you dreamy and solitary and your partner doesn’t like it one bit. Singles, the Mars/Venus duo is sending your attractiveness into the stratosphere and you’re able to enjoy a short-lived romantic interlude.

Your Love Week—Fire Signs:
When the Aquarius Moon trines Mars and sextiles Ceres on Monday, let love find you. Things change Monday as the Sun exits Leo and the Moon trines Mars and Venus. It’s a hopeful time for romance. You want a happy ending under Tuesday’s Pisces Full Moon, but a Sun-Jupiter quincunx makes you a little too grabby. This Pisces Full Moon opposes the Sun, pushing you toward the perfect relationship. Your heart soars late Wednesday as the Sun trines Pluto, possibly bringing you the right person. But the Moon conjoins Uranus before entering Aries on Thursday, warning you to be realistic. You feel like your old self Thursday night, after the Moon enters Aries and conjoins Jupiter. Now how much will you change for someone else? Saturday’s Moon-Mars opposition helps you decide what a relationship is worth. Lovers feel tense this weekend, and Saturday’s Moon-Mars opposition helps you figure out why. Once Venus sextiles Ceres on Sunday, you’ll be at peace with yourself and enchanted by someone who accepts you. Physical contact makes it all better Sunday night.

The Water Signs
Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Your week starts off on shaky emotional footing, with a Moon/ Venus trine. You hit highs and lows and dance around that point of enjoyment you’re seeking, without ever touching it. If you’re single, get ready for a wild ride. A new love story starts to unfold and it’s the source of some steamy emotional highs. If you’re in a couple someone intrigues you and makes you want to stray. Be prudent and wait for your emotions to settle before jumping in hastily. Remember Mercury is retrograde and any commitments made are likely to fall apart down the road. A Moon/ Venus trine at the beginning of the week turns your attention to the home front. A family problem is dealt with and resolved, releasing tension and bringing a more light-hearted atmosphere for all involved. All is calm on the career front, but a Moon/ Pluto trine on Thursday delivers a perfect opportunity to get organized and fine-tune your strategy. If you’re in a couple be wary at the end of the week, because the Moon in the sphere governing your union can bring emotions to the boiling point and create conflict over issues that don’t truly matter. Single Scorpios have a Uranus/ Pluto flirt to look forward to, which either lines up an opportunity to meet someone new or allows for an opening for moving forward in a new relationship. Jupiter retrograde ensures that things go smoothly on the job, but just the same, don’t rest on your laurels.

Your Love Week—Water Signs:
With the Sun moves into Virgo for a month, be logical in love. The Sun enters Virgo early Monday, giving you a month to identify your needs and learn all about your current or future lover. It really begins Tuesday when the Full Moon enters Pisces, sextiles Pluto, and is quincunx Saturn. A conversation with someone special reveals much. Tuesday’s intense conversation reveals your deep feelings and how closely you’re paying attention. Passion ramps up Wednesday night, kick-started by a Moon-Mars quincunx and climaxing with a Sun-Pluto trine. You discover who else has feelings for you. Thursday the Aries Moon brings out your demanding side. If you’re uncertain or guilty, the Aries Moon could make Thursday night through Sunday morning difficult. Accept your needs on Friday, and use Saturday’s Moon-Mars opposition to fix a misunderstanding. Sunday the Moon sextiles Neptune and enters Taurus, sweetly illustrating the logic of love. Wait until then before your next romantic overture.

The Earth Signs
Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn

This week the Sun enters Virgo, chasing away any fatigue, pumping up your morale and ambition and poising you to seize the day. If you’re single, you have the courage to approach someone you’ve been admiring from afar. You feel your confidence and charm rising to the surface and are enjoying every minute of it. If you’re in a relationship you’re full of surprises for your partner. A Moon/Venus trine starts your week off, bathing your career in positive, supportive energies. You could get an attractive offer that moves your career forward, or sign a lucrative contract. Job interviews also take a turn for the better. A Moon/Mars trine mid-week sees you rebelling, as you just want to break free from your usual routine. Enjoy this self-declared break. The Sun and Mercury retrograde give the single Earth Sign the chance to make up for having gotten off on the wrong foot with someone. Couples, your partner finds you distant at the start of the week, but you make up for it with attention and tenderness as the week goes on. On Thursday the Moon opposes retrograde Mercury, adding more passion to the mix. On the job, your determination helps you see which colleagues are being honest, and which are not. Financially, Venus and Mars inspire you to spoil yourself and others, and even better, you have the budget for it!

Your Love Week—Earth Signs: With Monday’s new Virgo Sun and a Moon-Venus trine, beauty and strategy are yours. When you wake up Monday, retrograde Mercury keeps the Sun, in Virgo, company, ushering in a month of careful romantic strategy. When that Sun opposes the Pisces Full Moon on Tuesday, move on if your current love object remains out of reach. The Pisces Full Moon adds the power of imagination. Now you can hold out for Mr. or Ms. Right. Wednesday’s Sun-Mercury opposition suggests advertising your desire, and Thursday’s Sun-Pluto trine keeps you optimistic even if your weekend dating picture looks grim. The Sun and Mercury turn you inward to face your own issues. But singles or troubled couples feel insecure and possibly aggressive on Thursday when the Moon squares Ceres and enters Aries. Jupiter keeps you laughing Friday, and when the Moon opposes Venus and Mars on Saturday, at least you’re on the same side as your lover. Romance finally arrives once the Moon enters Taurus on Sunday. By Sunday night, a Sun-Moon trine rewards you in some delicious way.

The Fifth Dimension Vibrational Healing Helix is Here
By: Elizabeth Joyce and Bonnie MacDade

Vibrational Healing is the way of the future. Vibrational Healing is a process whereby vibrations are transferred into a human being’s physical and energetic bodies, so that the vibrations that have become unbalanced in the human physical or the Universal body are adjusted and balanced. This is based on ancient knowledge that illness or disease in these bodies are caused by imbalances in energy flow. These imbalances cause a cell, organ, system, or energetic body to slow its vibration, which results in disease (dis-ease) or illness. The process of Vibrational Healing restores the natural flow to this energy field.

Many external factors affect the energy flow within the human body. We are bombarded with electromagnetic frequencies that influence the vibration rate of our physical and Universal bodies. Each household appliance, television set, cell phone, microwave oven, air conditioner, washer/dryer is sending out these vibrations; the Earth is surrounded by various electromagnetic grids that also affect this flow. And finally, there are many entities that can cling to our auras, homes, and offices which can seriously affect our personal rates of vibration. (Read: Psychic Attack—Are You A Victim? by Elizabeth Joyce)

Many of the energy healing processes and medical methods used to date are not able to drain off or detoxify and cleanse the human cells, organs, and systems of the toxins and invaders that are causing these health problems. The human body and aura accumulate and build up these invaders and toxins.

The new energy coming to the planet is in the process of raising our vibration or energetic frequency. This high level of energy is called Vibrational Healing (Fifth Dimension), and is not a part of any existing healing system. It does not conflict with any healing system but rather enhances it; including western medicine, reiki, NLP, IET, ayurveda, the Reconnection, acupuncture, etc.

The Universe is permeated with a radiant white light that is the highest vibration of energy in existence. This new healing energy is now available to us as we ascend to the levels of the Fifth Dimension. It is a process. The healing received is cumulative. This universal energy profoundly heals and uplifts our body, mind, and spirit. The longer we receive this energy, the healthier and more vibrant we become.

This new Vibrational Healing energy comes in the form of a double helix white light. It is a unique form of energy that works on the mind, body, and spirit in a broad and fundamental way, through your DNA, working with all past lives of the soul. As the energy interacts within us, it boosts our innate ability to self-heal and raises us to a state of higher consciousness. It does this through causing a change in the recipient’s own energy that enables the natural brilliance of the soul to shine through. At the same time any negative thoughts, actions, and desires are released. As a result, in addition to enabling recovery from illness and relief from pain, it also relieves stress and fosters a deep and enduring sense of peace and wellbeing.

After long service as healing practitioners, Elizabeth Joyce and Bonnie MacDade spontaneously received the energetic gift of healing on the Fifth Dimensional levels. This healing work was recently blessed by Amma, the Hugging Saint. Together, Bonnie and Elizabeth have benefited hundreds of people with every kind of health problem, including many “incurable” conditions. It is not easy to bring in this energy, and usually takes years of meditation and spiritual practice to be able to deliver this higher form of energy.

The Seven Divine Seals, from the book Ascension—How To Access The Fifth Dimension, by Elizabeth Joyce, are used in the energy work to create a lasting balance of the chakras and spine. You can receive these seals anytime, anywhere, and it is not necessary to be in the presence of the healing practitioner. There are only five people on the planet who know about and use these seals at the present time, Elizabeth and her Vibrational Healing class. The seals were given to her as she wrote her book, and more energetic healing material is being brought in on a day-by-day basis, to enhance and strengthen the work.

There are three ways to receive Vibrational Healing;

1. Group healing,

2. one on one sessions, and

3. distant healing work.

Both Bonnie and Elizabeth give private sessions and together, give the group sessions. These group sessions begin on Monday, September 20th, 2010, at the Circle of Miracles Church in New Britain, PA, at 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM and will continue every Monday. To make an appointment or for further information, call 201-934-8986 (Elizabeth) or 267-872-7346 (Bonnie)

STARGAZING – YOUR WEEKLY FORECAST

Week of August 19 – 22, 2010

The Air Signs
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Your week starts off with Saturn in Libra opposing Jupiter, which can create tension within your love relationship, as you and your partner seem to want incompatible things. Although this week begins with a tense planetary line up, you will be feeling it less than most other signs. Your Air Sign clear-mindedness and kind-heart will stand you in good stead and turn you into a pillar of strength for struggling loved ones. Single Air Signs, this Monday a sensual Scorpio Moon may send someone your way so pay close attention and let your natural friendliness work its magic. But charming Venus, is also in Libra, making you persuasive and so attractive that they’ll probably melt like butter in the end. On Friday Venus and Mars form a conjunction which spells light-hearted, delicious romance for the Air Signs in relationships and sets your libido on fire. Be sure to plan something special and dress to impress. Throughout the week Mercury will be slowing down and over the weekend, the communication planet turns retrograde until mid-September. You may find yourself having vivid dreams; be sure to write them out and meditate on what they are trying to tell you. While Mercury is retrograde, it’s an excellent time to marinate on those great ideas but don’t start anything new just yet. Not until October opens.

Your Love Week—Air Signs:
If you’re facing romantic choices, Monday’s Jupiter-Saturn opposition won’t help. Monday evening you Air Signs are a fool for love, thanks to the Moon-Neptune square; then the Moon trines Uranus making your strange charm irresistible. On Tuesday the Sagittarius Moon heaps more options on your plate when it sextiles Saturn, Venus, and Mars. Fire Signs are dangerously attractive, as Wednesday night’s Sun-Moon trine lusciously demonstrates. Blow some Air on the Fire to make it grow! With Sagittarius running the dating game until Thursday morning, Fire, Air, and maybe even some Water Signs are fair game. Review your emotional needs on Thursday, because Friday gets confusing. Venus and Mars conjoin in Libra while squaring the Capricorn Moon, mixing private romance with public display. Once the Capricorn Moon turns everything serious, Friday’s Sun-Neptune opposition and Mercury turning retrograde could hook you up with the wrong person. As Mercury retrogrades, Saturn squares Pluto on Saturday, inviting bad decisions. Tread carefully! You’re vulnerable Saturday for the Sun-Chiron opposition and Sunday for the Sun-Uranus quincunx, although with the Moon in your sign, you have some control over your romantic destiny. Sunday’s Moon-Saturn trine brings the future into clearer focus.

The Fire Signs
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

This week you’re at your chattiest and most outgoing, with Venus and Mars lighting up your life. As your week begins, the combined influences of Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto make you feel like things are off. You’re unsatisfied and you can’t seem to put your finger on why. Try not to get bogged down in the details and keep an optimistic eye on the big picture. The Sun in Leo is shining brightly after all, giving you Fire Signs the energy and means to deal with whatever comes your way. If you’re single, let your hair down and really enjoy yourself when you go out. Keep in mind that Jupiter is now free from the influence of unpredictable Uranus, and this week you just might meet someone attractive who knows how to make you laugh. Friday is a day to look forward to, as Venus and Mars will be forming a cozy aspect in Libra, which means fertile socializing for singles and romance by candle light for couples. On Friday you start to look at recent events in your relationship in a new light. The weekend looks tough to handle with Mercury retrograding, causing delays, and Saturn squaring off to Pluto. Be sure to call on your excellent sense of humor and to sidestep any conflicts you see brewing.

Your Love Week—Fire Signs:
Monday’s Sun-Moon square suggests you Water Signs may be the only ones ready for love. Your persuasive powers increase Monday, With the Moon in Scorpio. That certain someone is in a better mood Tuesday evening once the Moon enters Sagittarius. The Moon conjoins Ceres Wednesday afternoon, prepping you for a big romantic night. Tuesday through early Thursday, you want someone to run and laugh with, share impossible dreams, lose inhibitions, and fall hungrily into each other’s arms. As you wake from this happy dream mid-Thursday, the Capricorn Moon squares Saturn and Jupiter, facing you with the consequences of your actions. Thursday’s high expectations invite crisis on Friday when the Sun opposes Neptune and Mercury retrogrades. Friday’s Venus-Mars conjunction along with Mercury turning retrograde, show you love’s passion and confusion. It’s an intense weekend. The Sun is opposite Chiron and quincunx the Moon on Saturday, makes all partners more willing to cooperate on Sunday. Then the Sun will quincunx Uranus before entering Virgo on Sunday. If your lover wants change, it has to work for you, too.

The Water Signs
Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

There’s a great deal of tension in the air towards the beginning of the week that will affect you more strongly than most other signs. Be sure to be patient with yourself, and to take time for an activity that soothes you and gives you perspective, such as yoga or exercising in the great outdoors. The focus of your week is on intimacy. If you’re in a relationship, sharing and growing confidence bring you closer, body and soul. Things get easier as the week progresses, with a Sagittarius Moon and a harmonious Moon/ Sun trine restoring optimism. On Friday Mercury turns retrograde, making the weekend an excellent time to get in touch with pals and acquaintances you’d like to see turn into pals. Be sure to celebrate your union on Friday, when Venus and Mars make a date in stylish Libra. If you’re single, go out and by all means, wear something that makes you feel special. Also, Jupiter and Neptune both moving backwards through the zodiac are making you introspective; take time to meditate and don’t lose sight of your optimism. Be aware that Mercury, is slowing down and turns retrograde on Friday. Gear up with patience for misunderstandings at home and avoid buying anything mechanical or electrical.

Your Love Week—Water Signs:
On Monday the Moon protects you from yourself, but after it leaves Scorpio, you’re dating without a net. However, when the Moon is in Scorpio Monday and Sagittarius Tuesday, you may get lucky with an Air Sign, possibly a Libra. Jupiter makes you look good Tuesday, then Wednesday’s Moon-Gemini square confronts you with desires and fears. Saturn, Venus, and Mars raise your public profile, and Wednesday’s Moon-Ceres conjunction relaxes you into the role. Wednesday night promises physical pleasure, and Thursday’s Moon-Pluto conjunction helps you understand the magic. Follow your heart Thursday morning, even if the Moon-Uranus trine has someone special calling you crazy. The Capricorn Moon shows you the rules, which you break during Friday’s Sun-Neptune opposition. On Friday Mars squares the Capricorn Moon and conjoins Venus in Libra. Is it love? Mercury retrogrades as you try to answer that, and Saturday’s Saturn-Pluto square makes the right answer critical. Don’t bet on it, Water Signs. From the dire warning of Saturday’s Saturn-Pluto square, to the Sun entering Virgo on Sunday, love is yours to win or lose. Proceed wisely. Now, now, behave yourself this weekend!

The Earth Signs
Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn

Madness may define the beginning of your week, but you will be the oasis of tranquility in the midst of it all. Your sensible advice will be valued; just make sure no one takes undue advantage of your kindness and generosity with your time. Health and work are big themes for you this week. Make sure to protect yourself from being pushed past your limits on Monday. Look after yourself, eat well, and get the rest you need, to avoid becoming run down. Your attitude will be important; try to keep yours positive and to turn a deaf ear to any rumors and negativity. The Moon is in Scorpio at the start of the week, setting the scene for romance if you’re in a couple. Midweek is perfect for spending quality time at home, either in creative pursuits or with loved ones. Don’t miss out on this Friday night’s opportunity to go out on the town and have a grand old time with friends. Dress to impress, because the love Goddess Venus has a date with her lover Mars, and you never know who you might meet. On Friday Mercury turns retrograde, making the weekend a time for wrapping up projects, rather than starting new ones.

Your Love Week—Earth Signs:
You Earth Signs are all talk with a Moon-Mercury sextile on Monday. Then the Moon delivers nonstop action which could be passionate, but once the Moon leaves Scorpio early Tuesday, you’re more social than intimate. A Moon-Venus sextile makes Tuesday a good date night when the moon also trines Uranus, enters Sagittarius, and trines Jupiter. Romance heats up Wednesday once the Moon conjoins Ceres and trines the Sun. Restless singles and troubled lovers focus on the physical aspects of love and by Thursday the Capricorn Moon makes everyone talk about it. Carefree love turns serious and responsible Thursday under Capricorn’s influence. On Friday Mercury retrogrades and trines the Moon. A so-called good idea might be with you for another nine weeks. At least the Sun brings a month long opportunity to improve your love life when it enters Virgo late Sunday. Get your talking done by Friday, because once Venus squares the Moon and conjoins Mars, retrograde Mercury makes action more meaningful than talk. Be patient if you’re alone this weekend. Things will change and get better once the Sun enters Virgo late Sunday.

The big T-Square is still the topic of discussion and will be throughout the rest of the summer, especially the last week in August. However, relationships will be changing, especially within yourself and your feelings. You need to make some adjustments and decisions. The New Moon on the 9th reminds us of our inner child and opening the heart to bring your creative ideas into reality. It’s time to try new ways of approaching life.

I am in Mahwah, NJ for healing work and to give readings to people in the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut area. To make an appointment call 201-934-8986.

STARGAZING – WEEK OF August 9th —August 15th, 2010

The Air Signs
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Moon/ Jupiter trine on Monday turns you into quite the social butterfly. You feel confident and very much at ease connecting with others. If you’re single you turn on the charm instinctively, and it’s not long before you’ve got someone interested. Venus and Mars are also firing up your desire to taste new romantic adventures, and there’s nothing stopping you. Venus opposite Jupiter kindles your desire for something better in your career. You’re hungry for new experiences this week and with so many planets circulating through air signs, you’re likely to get them. Mars and Venus conjunct in Libra cue you that it’s time to make your desires a reality. You’re in the driver’s seat and you’ve got the green light. When Venus opposes Jupiter on Thursday, you could experience a challenge in your love relationship, when your partner resists the changes you’re trying to put into place. If you’re single be careful towards the end of the week because you will be more vulnerable than usual. Over the weekend the Moon may help you put your finger on what needs to change. Watch out for over-indulging financially. Also retrograde Uranus backtracks into Pisces over the weekend, bringing you inspiration.

Your Love Week—Air Signs:
Monday’s New Moon whispers sweet nothings in your ear, making you jittery as it sextiles Mars and brings hope and motivation whether you’re single or coupled. But Tuesday doubt and distrust creep in from all sides. But a Venus-Jupiter opposition slows you down. And when Venus squares Pluto, the wrong person could be sorry! With the Moon in Virgo, rational and logical are sexy, and when it reaches Libra by Thursday, you welcome commitment. You have until Thursday evening to explain yourself, even if the truth gets uncomfortable. Then the Moon enters Libra, distracting you with others’ delight and drama. Friday the Moon conjoins both Venus and Mars in Libra, turning you into a creature of love through Saturday evening. When Uranus enters Pisces Friday night, rekindle an old flame instead of lighting a new fire. Good feelings and romance ignite late Saturday. Scorpio intensifies you on Sunday when your lover is ready to meet your demands. This could be the real thing!

The Fire Signs
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

This week starts off with a New Moon in the heart of Leo. Fresh energy and feel good vibrations are yours, Fire Signs. You will find people coming to you for advice and you will enjoy this role of listening and sharing the benefit of your wisdom. Your career is in the spotlight and earning respect and admiration for all you know how to do. This will be more important than ever. Be sure to open up and share your knowledge, as generosity is the path to getting noticed professionally, and to emotional fulfillment as well. A Moon/ Pluto trine could even mean a promotion or a pay rise. If you’re single Venus opposite Jupiter can create hesitation surrounding budding romances. Be wary of the consequences of leading someone on if you’re not sure you want to. Retrograde Neptune is pulling you and your mate onto the same wavelength. You’re partners in crime and enjoying every minute you share. If you’re single a lovely Moon/ Neptune connection later in the week helps you find just the right approach for that someone you’ve had your eye on. Also Mars and Venus in Libra enhance your communication and leadership skills on the job. Be careful not to get too spend thrift over the weekend though, when the Moon opposes expansive Jupiter.

Your Love Week—Fire Signs:
With Monday’s Leo New Moon favoring Fire Signs, it’s easy to forget caution. Someone may not be available just because you desire him or her. Romance is glorious, especially with another Fire Sign. The magic persists through Tuesday, although Venus makes you hostile to anyone who interferes. Tuesday’s Virgo Moon helps you focus on self, home, and finances so that you’re date-ready by Thursday night. It’s your treat, of course. You might not get a chance to apologize for Wednesday’s harsh words until Thursday evening. Then both Venus and Mars lovingly conjoin the Moon, and between Friday morning when the Sun trines Ceres and Saturday morning when it sextiles the Moon, you and your partner can fulfill Monday’s promises. The fireworks begin Friday night! Throw yourself into a romantic weekend with comfort and confidence. After the Moon enters Scorpio Saturday evening, getting physical and philosophical is a sweet blend. Saturday night’s Moon brings sensuality and deep connection.

The Water Signs
Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Your week starts off on a positive note but quickly gets complicated. Love and relationships can be intense areas for you now. Your sexual and creative energy are high and this can make you impulsive. Be careful of a tendency to become pushy or possessive with your love partner, as this will create the opposite effect than you were looking for. Keeping balance in your emotional world will be an important challenge. As early as Tuesday Venus, the planet of love forms a square with retrograde Pluto, creating an environment of suspicion and jealousy where relationships are concerned. If you’re single, this is not an ideal time to get involved, as things are likely to get off on the wrong foot. Wednesday the Moon opposes Neptune in retrograde, making you fragile emotionally. Towards the end of the week an obstacle comes along to darken a great new idea you’ve had. You will have to change plans and swim through conflict, but this is a wonderful opportunity to be inventive, that helps you come up with something even better than before. A Moon/ Pluto square on Friday can bring an emotional conflict to a friendship. The weekend is marked by retrograde Uranus backtracking into Pisces, which can bring a revelation to you that changes everything.

Your Love Week—Water Signs:
You believe in romance during Monday’s New Moon, although Venus defines the limits as it opposes Jupiter and squares Pluto. Between the New Moon-Mars sextile and Venus-Pluto square, you could fall rapidly into and out of love. But when the Virgo Moon trines Pluto on Tuesday, the right person loves you whatever you say or do. Confirm your date after Tuesday’s Moon-Neptune opposition, because things change. And if the Moon hooks you up as it enters Virgo that evening, by Thursday morning the affair could be short-lived. Thursday night isn’t good for dating, since the other planets suspect your motives once the Moon enters Libra. Friday’s Moon-Mars conjunction brings a day of love if you aren’t too pushy. When Uranus enters Pisces Friday night, certain fantasies might be impossible for the rest of the year. This could actually bring a surprise romantic weekend late Saturday as the Moon trines Neptune and enters Scorpio. When the Moon enters Scorpio Saturday night and sextiles Pluto early Sunday, you’re all about deep romantic connections.

The Earth Signs
Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn

Be careful with your wallet this week, Earth Signs, because Mars and Venus can throw you into a spending frenzy and a Moon/ Jupiter opposition can have you compensating emotional insecurities with a shopping spree. A Moon/ Neptune opposition cautions you to be careful with who you give your money. Mars and Venus are focused on your career for starters, firing up your ambition to move ahead with your agenda, and a Venus/ Pluto square can make you demanding and inflexible. Remember to turn on the charm and work towards compromise, it will get you further than trying to force your hand. Even your romance is dominated by work issues, as jealousy crops up over too much time spent at the office. Try instead to examine your expectations of your partner and your relationship. The beginning of your week may not be too productive, but a breakthrough comes on Wednesday when the Moon forms an illuminating trine with Pluto, giving you the insight or idea you need to move forward. Venus opposite Jupiter retrograde creates inequality of expectations between you and your mate. Try to get to the bottom of what’s behind this: are you being fair? Or do you need a change of routine? Uranus backtracking into Pisces over the weekend can inspire an idea for bringing the magic back.

Your Love Week—Earth Signs:
The New Moon raises strong feelings on Monday, whether it’s desire or anger. This New Moon reboots your relationship or brings in someone new. Let high hopes outshine lingering disappointments or broken hearts. If you let go of pain and negativity on Tuesday as the Moon opposes Chiron, enters Virgo, and trines Pluto. Approach romance differently Tuesday evening. When the Moon conjoins Mercury on Wednesday, settle any differences with love. You could be in love or at least in bed by Wednesday evening. Don’t spoil it by saying the wrong thing! The Libra Moon conjoins Saturn on Thursday, boosting loyalty and cooperation. Support without clutching Thursday night. Friday’s Moon-Mars conjunction, flavored with Venus and some delicious outer planet tension from Uranus, brings romance to those who are polite and patient. Be rewarded when Venus and Mars make nice on Friday. Saturday’s Scorpio Moon strikes a delicate balance between sensual and civilized. Clear the air after Saturday night’s Moon-Pluto sextile. Be open about what you think and feel.

STARGAZING – YOUR WEEKLY FORECAST

Week of August 2 – 8, 2010

The Air Signs
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Saturn, the planet of realism is now sharing the sign of Libra with Mars, planet of action. There are a great deal of changes going on around you air signs and with them come responsibilities and a need to move with caution. Relationships are the number one thing on your mind, and if it involves romance, you’re doubly wrapped up in it. If you’re single, whatever you do, don’t hide out at home letting pain over the past hold you back, because the Sun is shining in the sign of Leo, and the planet of love is lighting up your intimate relations. Saturn also conjuncts loving Venus this week, asking you to examine any fear of commitment and conquer it. If you’re in a relationship, you may feel alone and moody despite your partner’s attempts to reassure you. Mid week provides a perfect opportunity to unwind and chat up attractive strangers; it’s a great time for a party and socializing. Couples, you’re enjoying playful romance. You’ll enjoy smooth sailing. The last quarter of the Moon is a caution flag—just follow up on things that are already underway. The only downer this week is money: you’re likely to need to cut back on expenditures. On the job, your patience is rewarded when you get unexpected support. Your peace making skills are in high demand and you use them to good end towards the end of the week. Friday night and throughout the weekend, take care of and leftover business and then enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Your Love Week—Air Signs:

On Monday the Taurus Moon quincunx Saturn and Mars stirs up emotions. A Moon-Chiron trine heals an old heartbreak, but a Jupiter-Pluto square late that night just amplifies your troubles. An early Tuesday Jupiter-Pluto square challenges everyone, and the hard aspects of Mars with those two planets mess with expensive plans. Are you involved with an Aries, maybe? Wednesday’s Moon-Neptune square lends a sympathetic ear, and you see the world through new eyes once the Moon enters Gemini and trines Uranus. Wednesday’s Gemini Moon sets partners dancing to the same music. Your lover lets you visit friends early Friday, but come home when the Moon enters Cancer and squares everything in sight. You get a few hours of friendship and sharing before the Moon enters Cancer. After that, remain calm even if someone else seems to be losing his or her mind during Saturday’s Venus-Uranus opposition. Stay compassionate and objective. Venus opposes Uranus to change Saturday’s mood, and conjoins Saturn to get you out of the house on Sunday. Sanity is restored by Sunday evening.

The Fire Signs
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Be wary of mixing money and friendship this week, as your ruler Jupiter is involved in a tense aspect linking finances with romance and friends. Be sure to set limits and get all the necessary guarantees, before lending. The Sun in Leo is pumping up your confidence and bringing your leadership skills to the fore. Your motivation is strong and you may be pushing yourself and others too hard. Be sure to keep realistic expectations. Venus is working to create romance at the office this week, and Mars and Saturn indicate an attraction to someone in a position of authority. Complications are likely, so make sure the person who’s making your heart patter is available, before making any moves. If you’re looking for work, don’t miss the opportunities provided by the Moon in Taurus at the beginning of the week. In addition your confidence will be high so seize the day. Mars and Saturn are taking you straight to the point. You have no patience for flattery or small talk. Beware because this can have a negative effect on your love relationship, and remember that Thursday will be your most social day of the week, and you will need to be at your most diplomatic. Singles, be wary of falling for someone just for their looks.

Your Love Week—Fire Signs:

On Monday the Taurus Moon makes unreasonable demands on Fire Signs, maybe triggering a spectacular fight or huge disappointment when the planet Jupiter squares Pluto late Monday. Romantic tension explodes Monday night when the Taurus Moon squares the Leo Sun. Tuesday’s Moon-Ceres quincunx makes trust difficult. This quincunx leaves you emotionally unsatisfied. By early Wednesday, the hard aspects of Mars with Jupiter and Pluto put plans and treats on hold. The Gemini Moon brings breathing space Wednesday. Patience, creativity, and forgiveness invite love again. Starting Wednesday, the Gemini Moon gives you breathing room and suggests a group date as it sextiles Uranus and Jupiter. Thursday’s Sun-Moon sextile focuses you on someone special. This Moon-Sun sextile rewards your patience. If dealing with an ex or finalizing a breakup on Friday, keep it gentle and fair as the Moon enters Cancer and Venus enters Libra. Make wise promises on Friday when the Moon squares Jupiter and Mars or the weekend could be endless – and not in a good way. Lovers reconnect when the Moon comes to Leo Sunday evening.

The Water Signs
Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

The deep planet Pluto is very active this week. A connection with the Moon and Mercury ensures the social activity from the previous weekend continues to light up your Monday. Romance and flirting are intuitive for Water Signs on Monday, although when Neptune is square the Moon and quincunx the Sun on Tuesday, noble motives clash with bad judgment. A Pluto/ Mars square on Wednesday and a Moon/ Pluto opposition on Saturday both cause your mind to buzz with questions and doubts about changes taking place in your career, and within yourself. Try to stay optimisic and to trust your intuition. If you hook up with someone in your moral comfort zone after Saturn enters Libra on Wednesday, a Moon-Neptune sextile leads to a hot date Thursday night. Why not make a weekend of it? Since Friday’s Moon-Pluto conjunction opens a window of social activity, one-on-one could pass for social behavior. Jupiter retrograde can bring an old flame back into you life. Be sure to put aside any power games within personal relationships, and to give your time and attention only to those people you can trust fully. Sunday’s Aquarius Full Moon suggests making this a habit.

Your Love Week—Water Signs:

Monday frustrates you when a dream lover slips from your grasp or shatters your illusions by opening his or her mouth. Blame the Sun or Pluto. Monday brings fast flirting when the Moon trines Pluto, but failure could strike as Pluto squares Jupiter. The next night you surprise or shock yourself when Pluto squares Mars. Wednesday’s Moon-Neptune square brings a chance to take responsibility and move on, although beauty soon distracts you again. Distract yourself Wednesday and Thursday by checking out Air Signs. If you encounter romance early Friday, learn from past mistakes. The Moon enters Cancer, opposes Pluto, squares four other planets, and disrupts love everywhere. If you find love with Friday’s Moon-Neptune trine, understand that larger circumstances may interfere for six weeks. Cancer isn’t your friend this weekend, but Leo is, oddly enough. Your romantic fortunes fall and then rise as the Moon passes through these two signs. Quick thinking at Saturday’s Mercury-Moon sextile scores you new phone numbers, but it may be a few weeks before you can call them.

The Earth Signs
Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn

Your week starts off with the Moon in Taurus participating in a Grand Earth Trine, a rare planetary alignment that works to bring stability to all areas of your life and give your talents extra verve. Your challenge will be to remain aware of the opportunities as they unfold around you, so that you can seize them before they slip by. This week is a sensitive time for you Earth Signs, and you find it all too easy to intuit other people’s problems. This can create extra worry for you, but luckily Mercury and Venus help you keep it all in light-hearted perspective. This helps you discover confidence you didn’t know you had, and open up more to the people who come into your life. Financially, the more you take other people’s needs into account, the more profitable your own ventures will be. Your confidence is high and you feel good about yourself and this is creating benefits for your romantic life. Beware of a Jupiter/ Pluto square though, which can uncover secrets and bring people from your romantic past back into your life. On the job your charm helps you move your agenda ahead. Also, Saturn cautions you to watch your expenses closely.

Your Love Week—Earth Signs:

The Moon enters Taurus early Monday and trines Pluto and Mercury for a day of sexy persuasion – if you tune out Saturn and Mars. The trine gives you a silver tongue on Monday, but a late night Jupiter-Pluto square invites bitter words. Otherwise, religious or philosophical differences could spoil the party on Tuesday. Religious or philosophical differences could spoil the party on Tuesday. Mars comes on like a vengeful ex Tuesday night. Wednesday’s Moon-Venus trine is a sweet goodbye kiss before Gemini blows in and changes everything. Venus soothes and pampers your beautiful self on Wednesday, no matter who loves or hates you. Thursday’s square between ruling planet Mercury and the Gemini Moon pushes you toward romantic change. A Venus-Neptune quincunx tunes you into the music of voices instead of their meaning. Don’t risk arguments once the Cancer Moon squares Saturn on Friday. It’s a disruptive weekend with so many planets in hard aspects, but when Ceres goes direct on Sunday and the New Moon enters Leo, you’ll end up in the right lover’s arms. Venus tries to calm hostile planets this weekend. You should do the same.

Many people have been asking me what I thought would be happening to the planet and within the planet during this dangerous and upsetting Cardinal T Square. Here are a few possible predictions:

Three Gorges Dam in China may give way completely due to the flooding of the Yangzte River. This would flood out Shanghai and the Zheiang Province.   (Go here for photos)  Three Gorges Dam is the largest Dam in the world.  (This was predicted this last Spring as well as a year ago.)

There is a possibility of Terrorist Attacks in London, Paris, New York and Chicago, as well as in our friendly skies. Please use caution throughout August.

Every community along the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coasts of the United States is at risk for the direct impacts of a hurricane. The five most vulnerable cities this year are:

Atlantic City, NJ

Savannah, GA

Tampa Bay, FL

Miami/Ft. Lauderdale

New York City – The shape of the coastline, where the Atlantic Ocean points ominously at New York City between New Jersey and Long Island, makes it especially vulnerable to storm surge, since a hurricane passing just to its west would focus the water rise into New York Harbor.  The city itself is mostly surrounded by water that could flood critical infrastructures during a lengthy aftermath, and it is populated by several million people, making evacuation a huge challenge.

This doesn’t include the Gulf cities and states – Galveston, TX is in danger of being completely immersed under water, as well as the lower part of Houston, TX.

In reading the list of hurricanes – two stuck out to me. EARL and IGOR, with MATTHEW as a running third.  We’ll see which one does what. The Atlantic is quiet for now.

Upper California and Vermont/St. Lawrence River can expect  earthquakes in the next six weeks or so.

A second volcano in Iceland may erupt this weekend. This would truly be a disaster and ground aircraft for quite some time.

Also, I have mentioned that New Zealand and Indonesia could have tsunami’s.

That’s it for now, enough!  The important thing is not to allow yourself to get caught up in anger, rage, revenge, or family and personal upsets. This time will pass. Begin your prayers, meditate, do what you can for others, and stay calm and safe.

Stargazing News:

There is a terrific shift in the cosmos taking place that is likely to have a profound effect on everyone. Great changes are afoot that will be completed by the Fall Equinox on September 21, 2010.

The tensions you are feeling as August opens may be because the planets are aligning in a powerful T square aspect and rearranging the world. If, during these uncertain times, conditions beyond your control are affecting you, the best thing is to hang on to what you have and make some practical choices. This month Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto are doing an awkward stellar dance. These planets will activate your chart associated with the Cardinal Signs; Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn. Five retrograde planets may test your patience as issues you thought were behind you rise up once again.

July 30th through Aug. 2nd tells us to mind our own business. Stay on track with the status quo, do good work, and stay off the streets at night, especially in the cities. The news will be full of sudden deaths, accidents, and violence this weekend!

You can expect to experience tension on August 6-7, when a Cardinal Grand Cross is at it’s strongest. This collection of cosmic energies offers you opportunities to pause and plan your next move. Don’t do anything rash! Sit down and think about what you hope to accomplish over the long term.

STARGAZING—Week of JULY 26 — AUGUST 1, 2010

The Air Signs
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Your week starts off with a tricky balancing act between your work obligations and those in your personal life. You may have too many demands to deal with all around, and your sense of what you should do is clashing with your heart’s desire. You may sense that it seems difficult to strike the balance you so cherish. A Full Moon tears you between wanting to please and follow the crowd, and break away to march to the beat of your own drummer. Mars conjunct Saturn can have you feeling stuck in your projects, and you may need to innovate a brand new system in order to keep them afloat. Mars also links up with retrograde Neptune, which can set you up for disappointment if you’re single. You may meet someone and think they’re the most dazzling creature you’ve ever set eyes on, but be careful of rushing into anything. Mercury changing signs on Tuesday can help you get to the bottom of these issues. Be careful because within your love relationship power struggles can come into play before you’ve seen them coming. Rather than being the last one to hold out, get a dialogue going and work on finding a better balance together.

Your Love Week—Air Signs:
Loose talk reaches the wrong ears on Monday, thanks to Neptune’s hard aspects with Mercury and Mars. Monday’s Saturn-Uranus opposition brings discord to relationships or unwanted advances from outsiders. Make your own romantic luck Tuesday as Mercury enters Virgo. Tuesday’s Moon-Venus quincunx makes you picky about who you date. Speak your emotional needs when the Moon conjoins Chiron before leaving Aquarius early Wednesday. Everyone behaves on Wednesday when the Moon enters Pisces, so you won’t have to be on the defensive. If Mars opens an old wound Thursday and compromises your reputation early Friday, an Aries Moon raises your hopes later in the day. In fact, Mars brings out your aggressive side as it enters your sign Thursday. Friday is about self-control when the Aries Moon opposes both Mars and Saturn. At least those two planets can help you win a stubborn heart when they oppose each other on Saturday. Take the weekend as it comes, flirting during Saturday’s Sun-Moon trine and showing off during Sunday’s Moon-Neptune sextile. What have you got to lose?

The Fire Signs
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

The Sun in the Fire Sign of Leo is making you feel invincible this week. You’ve also got a spot of luck on your side, which is evident mainly in financial matters. A Full Moon at the beginning of the week can play tricks on you though, distorting your perception of reality where relationships are concerned, and this can especially affect your love relationship. If you’re single you’re dangerously charming and Mars in your social sector has you flirting away, and fully enjoying the impact you’re making on your admirers. If you’re on vacation this week you’re happy as a clam, especially if you’re in an exotic location that allows you to really explore. If you’re stuck home or at the office you will need to find a solution for your wander lust, something stimulating that sets your mind roaming towards new horizons. The Jupiter/ Uranus duo certainly help expand your dating horizons, and you will find you are more open than ever to people who aren’t your usual type. If you’re in a relationship you’re basking in gentle happiness and focused on making your love nest more warm and welcoming, more of a reflection of your union. Retrograde Pluto is still in charge in your work sector, encouraging you to move ahead slowly and tread carefully with your colleagues’ egos.

Your Love Week—Fire Signs:
Monday brings opportunity as the Sun trines Jupiter, although you may choose unwisely since Jupiter is retrograde. Be careful and take things slowly. Knowledge is power, but Monday’s Sun-Pluto quincunx brings moral qualms about taking advantage. On Tuesday Mercury kisses and tells, opposing Chiron before changing signs. Tuesday’s Moon-Ceres sextile corrects that fast if there’s an Aquarius in the room, but if any Fire Signs are cheating, Wednesday’s Mercury-Uranus quincunx could be trouble. After this fallout of secrets and gossip, show your face in public again, humbler yet more optimistic, when the Moon enters Pisces. Thursday you struggle between powerful attraction and respectful behavior as Mars enters Libra. When Ceres squares both Venus and the Moon on Thursday, the wrong lover is worse than no lover. On Friday, Jupiter is quincunx Mercury and conjunct the Aries Moon as you glimpse your ideal partner. When the Moon enters Aries on Friday and conjoins Uranus and Jupiter, you’re free to act, although it takes major charm this weekend to cut through your lover’s other entanglements. When sensitive Ceres trines the Moon on Sunday, you’ll know you’re home.

The Water Signs
Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

This week you’re able to express yourself simply to your partner, clear up misunderstandings and in the absence of ambiguity, grow closer. At the beginning of this week you’re feeling the strain of trying to meet your work demands without letting them get in the way of your personal and family life. Rather than letting the stress get to you, take advantage of the dynamic energy of the Full Moon to find solutions. This will be especially important for the balance of your love relationship. Good news for singles: Mars is making your charm magnetic. Your dates are eating out of your hand and are likely to open up and confide in you as early as the first date. If you’re single, your path to love is through your friends, so don’t hesitate to go out and paint the town together. Mercury and Mars give a boost to your projects; your patience for those painstaking details is endless. You’re shining on the job as well and motivated by a desire to stand out as an original. If you’re looking for work, don’t hesitate to knock on different doors than usual. This can set in motion a positive string of coincidences.

Your Love Week—Water Signs:
Monday’s Sun-Pluto quincunx and Mars-Neptune quincunx stir up fantasies and urges. Water Signs benefit from a cold shower! Ruling planet Neptune makes trouble Monday with gossip and bad decisions. When it conjoins the Moon Tuesday, find a sympathetic ear. On Wednesday you can laugh about your desires when the Moon enters Pisces and sextiles Pluto. Wednesday through mid-Friday, making for easy socializing, introductions, and shining your light. Mercury writes your personal ads, Pluto boosts your sincerity, and Venus picks up the tab when it’s your treat. You’re not alone, and that’s promising. If Thursday’s Venus-Ceres square brings one night with a needy lover, don’t get too invested. When the Aries Moon opposes Mars and squares Pluto on Friday, you’re better off with someone who doesn’t expect much. Once Aries takes over Friday afternoon, avoid all the posturing, flirting, and romantic excess. Saturday’s Mars-Saturn conjunction leaves no room for doubts in a high-energy weekend. Keep your head down until Sunday, when a Moon-Neptune sextile shows how love is really an art.

The Earth Signs
Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn

A Full Moon at the beginning of the week has you lost in the details on the job, but a Mercury/Pluto trine towards the end of the week brings the clarity you need to become a super strategy builder. This week the tone changes, as Mars moves out of your sign and Mercury moves in. The Full Moon is tearing you between your career ambitions and those for your personal life. This is an opportunity to learn to set clearer boundaries, and Mars, later in the week, will support you as you work through this. You relax a little, becoming more a more subtle communicator, and your wit really shines through. Venus is in Virgo as well, and the goddess of love is making your personality bubbly, giving you the courage to step out of your shell and overcome shyness. The romantic mood is playful. Mercury enters your dating sector on Tuesday, sharpening your critical sense towards potential partners. Try to relax and have more fun with other people’s quirks. Your differences can make the getting to know each other game that much more fun. In addition, Mercury trine Pluto can bring some new information to light that changes your outlook.

Your Love Week—Earth Signs: Don’t believe everything you hear Monday when Neptune is opposite Mercury and quincunx Mars. Whether or not you’re in a relationship, Monday is a tense time around others. With Tuesday’s Moon-Venus quincunx and Mercury entering Virgo, choose words or partners carefully. Tuesday’s Moon-Venus quincunx advises discretion about your affairs, and Mercury enters Virgo to clarify your romantic goals. Wednesday the Moon reduces the pressure as it enters Pisces, opposite Mercury and sextile Pluto. The Pisces Moon favors meeting a new lover’s people, but don’t show the edge of discomfort Mars and Venus bring on Thursday. Meet social obligations, join deep conversations, and make yourself available, although a Venus-Ceres square makes you a magnet for the needy on Thursday. The Moon enters Aries and squares Pluto on Friday, setting you up for a maybe-too-exciting weekend. If Mercury inspires grand promises on Friday, straighten it out early on, before the Moon enters Aries. Powerful forces are at work this weekend, intensifying passion but resisting change. This could be fantastic if your relationship is secure. Just know when to say when.

The effects of the T-Square begin today, as the Sun moves into Leo. The Full Moon on Sunday, July 25th is at 3 degrees of Aquarius at 6:30 PM pdt. There promises to be a lot of upset and drama in the world as we walk through the first three weeks of August. Consider the last week of August and the first few days of September “clean up and clearing” time.

The electronic grid will come under a great strain and may bend with the energy demands over the next few weeks.

Any political appointee in late 2010-2011 will carry a death warrant. There is a short term span expected of elected high officials, who more than likely will not return to office. The Fear Wave coming has a specific goal, which will not be reached. The Media will lose control of their erroneous interpretations of what is happening. In mid-August there will be scandals and secrets revealed. This will be so large and no other country will offer us sanctuary. These secrets will sign death warrants to many leaders of the ruling class, as well as their media counterparts.  Much has to do with our financial situation and money losses. There are very dark and dire days ahead for the global elite. The November elections will be very different from what we are used to in this country. Look for the independents to surge ahead offering good, sound ways to recover.

The storms, tsunamis, hurricanes, and tornado’s are also on the way. Expect at least three Category Five Hurricanes over the next six weeks. The populace will be put under extreme pressures. People with generators and refrigeration will reach out to others. PLEASE do what you can to stay safe and listen and move when directed for safety reasons. Make sure you have water and air conditioning when possible, especially the elderly.

It is intended for this to be a “heads up.” Do not hesitate to change your plans and stay put if circumstances warrant it. Spiritually, meditate, follow your instincts, and stay cool and quiet as much as possible. Relief comes in mid-September, after Mercury goes direct. Patience and tolerance is being tested over this time, as well as emotional losses and readjustment.

Send an e-mail if you would like to be put on the Prayer Altar or if you want to share.

The planetary pattern of a stressful “Grand Cross” is present in the heavens until the Fall Equinox. We are about to enter the Dog Days of Summer and people are getting short tempered, upset, and on edge, especially with the intense heat on the East Coast. You may feel as if you are being pulled in many directions at once. If you are experiencing this “pulled apart” sensation, remember that the Universe promises to put you back together again with new integration, new beginnings, and a new lifestyle. This major T Square is stressed through the end of July. It is not a good time for kings, presidents, czars, or any type of world leaders.

The best thing you can do at this time is to meditate, relax your mind, and nurture yourself. The sign of Cancer represents the caring, loving mother aspect of energy, so help yourself stay in your love by tending to your emotional needs right now. This includes your partner, children, and family, but also your close friends, and people and activities that support you and make you comfortable and feel safe.

This week, find healthy ways to blow off steam in this heat, make time for yourself, and take care of some of those “left-over” details that you keep putting off to the side.

The upcoming Vibrational Healing Workshop is scheduled for the weekend of September 10th.

Plan to attend and raise your vibration to  levels of healing, prosperity, and mental clarity.

STARGAZING – YOUR WEEKLY FORECAST

Week of July 19 – 25, 2010

The Air Signs

Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Neptune retrograde in Aquarius is filling your mind with dreams and can lift your feet right off the ground this week. Your biggest challenge will be keeping your footing within the bounds of reality. Your week starts off with the Moon forming a romantic sextile to Venus, increasing your desire for flirting, pleasure and all things beautiful. You’re inspired to improve your appearance, and you may catch the match making bug. You can’t help but want to see all your friends happy and in a relationship. A Moon/ Mercury square on Tuesday creates communication glitches, and brings a need to address the balance between your work and personal life. The Sun changes signs this week as well, moving into Leo, which gives couples a fresh lease on their relationship. Mid week, Mars and Saturn conjunct in Virgo, forcing you to slow down and go with the flow of events. Saturn enters Libra on Wednesday, focusing on your life with a more serious tone, and asking you to deal with some lingering, underlying issues. On Thursday the Sun moves out Cancer and into Leo, stimulating you to be more independent, and let the world see what a unique, talented individual you are.

Your Love Week—Air Signs:

Monday is about mixed messages. Confidence takes a hit Tuesday morning when Chiron enters Aquarius and you worry what others think. Luckily, the Moon enters Sagittarius that evening. When Chiron enters Aquarius, singles might worry about approval on the dating market. Things improve that evening when the Moon enters Sagittarius, followed by Saturn moving into Libra on Wednesday and the Sun arriving Thursday in Leo. Saturn entering Libra Wednesday and the Sun entering Leo Thursday also help you transcend awkwardness. Thursday night’s Moon-Neptune sextile could score you major romantic points if you take that plunge. Strike a healthy balance of stability with your partner while treating yourself like royalty. When your ruling planet Uranus squares the Moon and trines the Sun on Friday, you’re too wild for the fainthearted. A Capricorn Moon grounds you Friday, and conjoins Pluto for an open-minded, social weekend. If you’re waiting for someone, the wait is over Sunday when the Aquarius Full Moon trines Saturn. By the time, as the Full Moon sextiles Uranus, lovers are quietly reinventing the world.

The Fire Signs

Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

The major event for you Fire Signs this week is the Sun making its grand entrance into the sign of Leo, enhancing your magnetism and turning your focus to making an impact. You will be fired up and getting and giving attention from the get-go. You are happy as a clam basking in the middle of all the activity. If you’re single, you feel refreshed and ready to connect. If you’re in a couple, Neptune retrograde gives your relationship more of a friendship feel, than one of passion. Pluto is retrograde, which also gets a visit from the Moon, and together the two planets help you structure your career ambitions more intelligently. The whimsical Moon is playing with your emotions, making you want to take a break from the havoc of daily life. There’s drama, there’s stress; your optimism gets a bruise or two and you withdraw to lick your wounds. Mars and Saturn conjunct on Wednesday, bringing a feeling of restriction and stability issues. The Jupiter/ Uranus duo fuel you to explore the love scene differently and can give you a new lease on the dating game. The Sun changing signs brings couples together through curiosity and light-hearted fun. Pluto is still in charge in your money sphere, revving up your motivation to bring in funds.

Your Love Week—Fire Signs:

Monday could find you uncomfortable with your relationship or lack of one. Turn on the charm Tuesday when the Moon trines the Sun and enters Sagittarius. Love catches fire Tuesday evening after the Moon enters Sagittarius. And when it trines Jupiter early Wednesday, you know your lover’s mind. Wednesday’s Mercury-Ceres trine brings soothing, seductive words, and by Thursday when the Sun comes home to Leo and sextiles couples-friendly Saturn, you win someone’s heart, whether for the first time or all over again. Also on Thursday the Moon conjoins Ceres deep in your comfort zone and the Sun enters Leo, but Friday you stop singing the song of yourself. If Friday’s Jupiter retrograde and Moon-Pluto conjunction throw you into new social situations, rise to the challenge. As Jupiter retrogrades and squares the Capricorn Moon, keeping promises becomes inconvenient as the rules of romance shift. When dating or partying Saturday night, don’t discuss politics or religion. With Sunday’s Aquarius Full Moon opposing the Sun, any new relationship feels earned.

The Water Signs

Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Hope you’re in the mood for love this week Water Signs, because a Moon/ Venus sextile is creating the conditions for heart stopping intimacy. If you and your partner have had a hard time getting onto the same page lately, you now unite sensually and the passion infuses into other areas of your relationship. Singles, Mars conjunct Saturn has you looking within, to question how you might be holding love at bay. This week could also bring some turmoil in your love life mainly due to a Moon/ Mercury square. If there’s an imbalance in how much time you spend working and how much you dedicate to your partner, the conflict comes to a critical point. Communicating is as difficult as compromise is vital. Also, a Mars/ Saturn conjunction has you examining issues surrounding anger and impatience. All very fiery stuff. The Sun and Mercury are making you shine on the job. There will be some communication hitches there though. Use your intuition to get to the bottom of them. The Sun enters Leo on Thursday, motivating you to want to stand out and impress. You’re just as motivated to make money, thanks to the activity of Pluto and the Moon, and it’s a challenge to bring moderation and balance to all this.

Your Love Week—Water Signs:

Romance and flirting are intuitive for Water Signs on Monday, although when Neptune is square the Moon and quincunx the Sun on Tuesday, noble motives clash with bad judgment. If you hook up with someone in your moral comfort zone after Saturn enters Libra on Wednesday, a Moon-Neptune sextile leads to a hot date Thursday night. Why not make a weekend of it? Since Friday’s Moon-Pluto conjunction opens a window of social activity, one-on-one could pass for social behavior. Sunday’s Aquarius Full Moon suggests making this a habit.

The Earth Signs

Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn

Your week starts off with an invitation from the Moon sextile Venus to do something pampering that makes you feel special. If you follow this advice, it will help anchor you in more confidence and serenity. A great deal of the focus this week is on relationships. A Moon/ Venus sextile puts the spotlight on your friendships, and on what you have to teach and learn from each other. Saturn in your career sector is stirring up issues in your professional relationships, relating to how you communicate and delegate in the workplace. Pluto retrograde in is shaking up the foundations in your sentimental life. You could decide to break off a relationship that’s not good for you, and if you’re single, you could attract someone who doesn’t have your best interest at heart. You will need all your discernment and courage. The Moon and Saturn may have you placing your financial assets under lock and key, but don’t go so far as to deprive yourself of small pleasures. A soft touch is important for keeping spirits high and achieving efficient results. Saturn also affects your love relationship, asking you to find a better balance between it and your work. Are you ready to compromise? Also, retrograde Neptune is sharpening your intuition where money is concerned. All this new growth comes into play the last week of August.

Your Love Week—Earth Signs:

Dating and relationships flow smoothly Monday and Tuesday, although a Moon-Mars sextile brings a spicy edge of uncertainty. The Scorpio Moon captures eyeballs for you, gets you dates, and earns you respect when it sextiles your ruling planet Saturn. Saturn enters Libra Wednesday, polishing your halo for someone who thought you too crude or pushy. Remember your friends as the Sagittarius Moon squares Venus on Wednesday, blurring right and wrong choices. The Leo Sun and Sagittarius Moon bring advantage and opportunity Thursday night. When the Moon reaches your sign Friday, you’re ready to commit. Beware of any passionate outbursts as the Moon squares Mars Thursday, and accept new versions of old lessons when Jupiter retrogrades on Friday. Saturday’s Moon-Venus trine takes you out shopping with or for your beloved. Mars behaves itself Sunday when the Full Moon is in Aquarius and your romantic ambitions are bigger than ever. Get it right, because a Moon-Pluto conjunction brings you together in a committed relationship this weekend. Plan your future Sunday as the Aquarius Full Moon trines Saturn.
