War and Peace, a title that is endlessly repeating itself. Mars and Venus, the personals that represent this dilemma.

​The God of War and Goddess of peace. The attraction of osmosis and empathy are forever dancing in harmony and disharmony. As Mercury is observing rather than engaging, we may have time to catch our breath. The Pluto in Leo generation is experiencing Pluto in Aquarius, it’s polar opposite. The necessity of belief in free will, reached a crescendo with Pluto in Leo. A belief in fate may be on the horizon.

The winter solstice is the primary event, as the darkness gives way to the light. Our earth is rejuvenating as we are celebrating. To feel the joy of possibilities is our primary purpose.

Saturn and Neptune both in Pisces. The structured rigidity of Saturn and the boundary less character of Neptune. As they represent earth and water there is a communication. The feminine instinctual and fated are in evidence. There can be much giving of solace, be aware of the moral perspectives.

​There may be incoherent rumblings, but these are consistently replaced with comforting feelings. You are ready for the chaos. Having Pluto sitting on your Sun for 20 years , it’s time for innovation. Your disciplined intelligence is direly needed. Be kind to neighbors.

​Diplomacy celebrates balance and harmony. How to get those on polar opposites to allow a rapprochement? The Piscean age was represented by two fish swimming in opposite directions. Aquarius symbol of two wiggly lines on top of each other implies a certain merging. The scales accentuate the pair. As it is a good time to integrate.

​Uranus is the planet of astrology. This planet, the new ruler of Aquarius is extremely adventurous.

Discovered at the beginning of three revolutions, the American, French and industrial. An entity that controls electricity and lightning bolts. Sudden inspiration and out of the box thinking are the norm.

Pluto, is moving into Aquarius for an extended stay. So these flavors are being reexamined. Can we keep up with the speed and never-ending insights?

AI is bringing us many new ways of thinking and communicating but also the incomprehensible adjustment to shock to our senses. This ain’t no chicken little.

​It may be hard in this period of the individual ego needing to be nurtured. You must realize that soothing yourself takes priority. The habit you have of seeing both sides may not serve right now. Let others take the diplomatic lead. Libra rules the lungs, enjoy new patterns of breathing. Our human nature and our earth is constantly expanding and contracting.

​Ephemeral is the symptom of the season. Ethereal is the gift.

Mutable equates to change and flexibility. With so many planets retrograde it is hard to find stability.

​Orion is the giant hunter whose depiction is often correlated in the astrological “as above, so below”. His father Poseidon gave him the gift of walking on water. He always has his companion the Dog Star Sirius.

​You present the reflective side of the mind. Let others be center stage, they will notice you more. The illusion of partnerships can be tricky. You may have someone, who so relies on the big picture, it can be agitating. The big stuff, politics, religion and making money are all there for you to analyze. Remember we can only somewhat know what’s going on in our own head.

The season of the glory of the Sun. It’s hot. The Sun represents the ultimate climax of the light. The glare also foreshadows the darkness returning.

The Persian God Ahura Mazda, meaning Lord of Wisdom, was around, possibly 3500 years before Christ. He, too, had a duality in that there was Ahriman, a deity who represented the concept of evil. Zoroaster/Zarathustra was the prophet. His name means “he, who can manage camels”. The human mind regularly flip flops between optimism and pessimism. The lion is the symbol for the Sun as the crab represents the Moon.

We are told to never lose the purity and excitement of childhood. Indeed there are moments when we can allow our enthusiasm full reign. But, children move extremely fast on all points. Physically, emotionally and their intellect. This is the time for us to allow ourselves to slow down while we are still enchanted.

Nietzsche called the stages of spiritual transformation, The Camel, the Lion, and the Child. The camel carries the heavy lifting, but grows exhausted, he takes the persona of the lion. The lion is a fighter but grows weary and evolves into innocence. Venus lends her charisma and Joie de vivre. Embrace the new energies you are experiencing.

 How to observe and partake at the same time? The overlapping of language and interpretations is eternal. Movement, dance, sports, singing or playing an instrument in a group, necessarily synchronizes our connections. 

July is the season of nurturing and paying attention to feelings. The Moon predicts turning inward. 

The involuntary muscles, breathing, digesting and eliminating are the ones most ruled by our feelings and transmitted to us through our Mother’s essence.

Perhaps the Gnostics, the seekers, are more noticeable than the Fundamentalists, the knowers. The Gnostic from within, the Fundamental from without.

Tradition is a complex idea. True, we often know history repeats but we must continually seek to self-create.

​This month the connection to the waters of the earth and the ground are highlighted. Many cultures see moving sideways as a benefit. Perhaps not in the way the media riles us up to compete and succeed, but history has shown beneficial changes work slowly. Hard truths and peripheral dramas are your goals right now.

​Dulcedeleche is the sweetness of milk. My best friend left me today. She was a Papillon born July 21, 2006. in almost 17 years we only spent a week apart.

In this time of Gemini we are stirring the pot to embrace the nature of motherhood which is coming. Duality is something hard to have a concrete understanding of. Certain philosophies see it as journey to become one. 

Experience tells us to try and see both sides of view. Reality vs illusion. The basic human functions, eating, defecating, breathing, moving, all have to do with physical habits. They are real and not open to interpretation but, illusion, is how we create just about everything else.

And our imagination is the numinous part of us.

​Mid-month you breathe easier. Fixating on things is not your forte. Less intimate friendships and mutual feelings of distant relatives are reinterpreting how you enjoy communicating. Hearing in an altered state provides solace and appreciation of self. Sound waves bring wisdom and health.

Frustration: 
Whether you are a fixed sign or have a coterie of planets in Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus, it can be like moving a stone uphill with the numerous changes that are happening.

​Speed is so addictive but when it comes up an immovable object, the shock is startling. 

​Doing many things at once is not generally your forte, but your ruler is teaching juggling and you are a determined student. Being a part of a group has its complexities but it is good to partake and see how playful you can be. Your neighbors may be too helpful, when you already know what you need.

​What has a bow but can’t be tied? *

Symbols are a part of our lives in ways to promote self-knowledge. Dreams have images that produce feelings we can interpret. Anger, confusion and bliss are all inherent in our unconscious, to be prepared, we need to expand these emotions.

The ancient and astrological new years start with the sun in Aries. His passion is inherent in love and war. As we examine these thoughts, feelings, we become a little smarter about the foibles we carry.

Perhaps we will become the feather in Egyptian mythology that realizes compassion.

​You are being pushed to step into the lead position. The tools you carry at the moment are elusive and prefer the elastic to the rigid. Trying to stay home and contemplate is not a well-oiled habit. Partners love presents. Beauty needs harmony and The Beast.

​Intangible, untouchable, inconsistent, reverse and irreversible, ephemeral, mostly peaceful, all traits are answerable to Pisces.

The hollow between two interlocking circles is the Vesica Pisces. With circular spinning, the effect is lightheaded and lighthearted. With the belief systems of Judeo/Christian/Muslim being a part of the human condition for two thousand years, this has been the age of Pisces.

Will we be able to handle our own spiritual development without an authority persuading us of its merits? Like Boss’ everywhere the power given to an entity hovering religiously can be disrupting.

​Your awareness of the vast amount of water here on earth is glorious. The celebration of the intellect pales compared to emotion. Everybody loves, and everybody lies. The unconditional love attributed to your sign is the hope we all have in faith. We will be learning more about this over the next two years. The Greeks believe diet is a way of life and not a restriction.
