You move like lightning but dislike drizzle. The major planetary activity is sitting in a pool of murkiness. As intellectual clarity is your life purpose, you are left with exploring the vagaries of mayhems. Your castle needs TLC. Make sure electricity is grounded. There is pleasure in minutiae.

Belief vs safety. We are seemingly being watched endless because we need to feel safe. Is this an illusion? Believing in safety is similar to believing in fate. It doesn’t really make sense.

Nevertheless with the amount of cameras and face recognition, “1984” is in the world today.
Was “The Prince” correct? Is it better to be feared than loved?

There are two ways of fighting: by law or by force. The law is open to interpretation and perhaps a checkbook. Force can be subtle, as in spying.

As a ruler you are in your element. Hopefully a benevolent one. Believe in your gifts. It is so easy to disregard them. Many find it hard to complement or say they appreciate you, but know, that they do. The physical body will erupt if you can’t believe. Nurture your skin, knees and teeth.

It is the season of the witch and warlock. Where is the wise man? The shaman takes pain away.

What is the strength of the wise woman? Is it about, after a certain age, the insight that has been collected has less passion for experiment? How often do we hear that, we must stay engaged? The energy of others gives and takes away, any control we might care about. Death can devastate those left behind. It is a karmic completion. After years of acceptance we can be aware of something special that comes in the void. Halloween, Samhain is the time to remember acceptance. The cosmic rays and invisible atoms and particles will eventually provide us with reconnections.

Invite those who are in another realm to visit. Make sure the malevolent stay away. Decisions must be made. You are the transformer. The need to desire has enhanced your compassion. Examine your thought patterns. See Vivian Leigh in “Gone with the Wind”. A very fine Scorpio. Be aware and remember “change” is imminent. If you let it, self examination is your most powerful weapon.

Truth is a slippery, silly, and illusionary concept. It can only ever be evaluated by a moment in time that influences the collective. The feather tips the scales, and lies are hurtful. The concept of voting has consistency and many variables, we all need to feel we have some control.

History has shown us how many variables there are to the powers that be. Saturn ate his children. Richard the Third may or may not have killed the princes in the tower, but Shakespeare needed to keep Elizabeth the First happy.

Purpose on the other hand is magnificent. And the passion of purpose is the best. We can always justify our version of the truth. The trick is in remembering it.

Astrologers often say Venus rules self worth. In Roman days, the currency was libras. Balancing the scales is elusive. How much is your self worth, worth? Decisions are a commitment. If a train is coming at you, you move off the track. Your hearth is being attacked. Reassess where and how you live. You can always change your mind...

Mercury, the Trickster is the God of the moment. He poses dilemmas and answers questions with questions. He is trying to equate or tame Uranus, the God of evolving communications.

How to equate fear and freedom? Are we better protected? We live in a time of escalated rules and suspicion. Supposedly to protect our freedom. As our collective communication is filled with polarizing points of view, it is almost impossible to not feel paranoid. As the tv show “Person of Interest” displays, we are being watched and analyzed in greater and greater measure. We denigrate the process in other cultures, Sharia, Islamic law of retribution, or Chinese reproduction rules. CCTV is everywhere in Great Britain. It would seem that this rolling wave of too much information is suffocating.

Nerves can be smoothed over by talking. Be sure and find time to listen too. Do not try to figure everything out. The merry-go-round is a lovely analogy of the nonsensical that is a constant. Believe there will be solutions to what is seemingly a morass of murkiness. The focus is on you, enjoy it!

Circles.

To examine the inner part.

The symbol for the sun is a circle with a dot inside. Like concentration and meditation, there must be a focus. The need to calm emotions is a gentle repetitive focus.

The sun in the sign of Leo is at home. We are enjoying magnanimous light and hopefully insight.

Find Faith and see that Fear is as useful as is courage. But with both these concepts there should be prudence.

We are all storytellers. The gift is finding the right one, that each of us needs to tell. The way is different. Observing is a part of storytelling, as is listening. Hearing another person’s truth can be conflicting to our own. We strive to keep what is ours as we must. We also need to give the time and space to hearing and seeing those that share our intimacy. The polarity of opinions surrounding our common earth must become more tolerant.

Center stage is your spot. If your crown is wobbly, realize the brightness may be a factor. Your career is highlighted thru embracing chaos. If you dream of the dead, they are soothing the fears. Offer service by helping those creating new structures.

Relationships are what motivate and frustrate.

The emotional and responsible do a dance of passion, torture, and insight.

The original battle of Hera and Zeus shows us that the human condition needs imagination and restriction. We are enacting this at the moment with the “me too” idea. We all want both. But, life only allows for a moment in time to contain both beauty, magic and commitment. The foible of a philandering Zeus is the creative quest for new exciting experiences.

Today’s propaganda believers do not want to collect, they want to experience. Well, this also undermines the power of seduction and the moments that are enjoyable and frightening. Collecting is a part of desire. To contain the balance is what is most needed. Older folks are jealous and competitive with youth. With age comes the perspective but the passion can disappear.

Zeus thought of so many wonderful ways to seduce. The worst was when he lost interest. What Hera did when cheated on, was up the ante and destroy what Zeus created. Do you see the dichotomy?

This eclipse on July 2 is showing humanity how to nurture. Accepting that life is rarely fair, the individual needs are demanding acceptance of (others) point of view. Multi-tasking your feelings is extremely hard. This moment is about reconnecting to your history. The examining of shadows is required. Enjoy being in or on water with groups of friends.

Mercury is very good at confusion and mutation. As the chatty character of the consortium of the Gods, he knows how to read situations and pull all the reticent information we are hiding from ourselves and each other. As it is often necessary to go deeper, it can be chaos that takes over our thoughts. To receive the gold of consciousness, we must be willing to let go of our convictions and embrace the darkness of doubt. We truly have so little control over anything. But we must have boundaries and structure to survive.

Hats are the fun and the protection. Mercury has the winged one to propel him and keep him grounded.

Do you have a hat rack? Very important for you to keep a lid on yourself. Look to nurturing and alluring people to have your back. The art of conversation entails listening closely to what people are trying to say. They do not always say what they mean. You can hear all the levels of intent. Gently let those you love speak and use a guide dog to point out the foibles.

The lunar moth is a splendid creature that enhances the mythology of the moon and only lives 7 days. It has the spiritual nature of impermanence and beauty. It is a phenomenal mysterious creature only seen at night. It embodies the new moon and the full moon and celebrates the majestic and potential of consciousness.

Sleeping during daytime evokes the Subtle and glorious.

Their sole purpose is to reproduce. They do not eat or have digestive capabilities.

You may be more assertive than your normal routine. Take risks that will pan out. Contemplation will be enhanced later in the month. Perceptions will come from out of the way places and how you encourage yourself to look at life in a broader arena. The intellect is only as useful as the ability to clarify your emotions

Vodou has a hero called St Jacques. He is a warrior and member of Ogou. He has many similar qualities to Mars, God of War. He is the lover of Erzulie Freda, who has many attributes similar to Venus, Goddess of Love.

This time of year is the awakening of earth energy. Both aggression and love making are providing impetus to acknowledge the momentous season of change.

Spirits are on the move, shapeshifters and beasts are promoting effortless movements to embrace inevitable change.

The new moon on the 5th brings focus to your desires. There may be authority figures hanging out to impede the reckless momentum. It is your moment of pizazz. There is diversity and mischievous power that is yours for the asking. Allow others to be a part of the action.
