​We need beauty.

Beautiful thoughts, actions and visuals. Try and find it in all the turmoil. Venus, Goddess of love and beauty is featured this month. Traditionally we seek harmony and balance to experience beauty. Today it seems mostly discordant and angry.

She protected humans at sea and courtesans. With Mars she gave birth to Timor (fear) and his twin Metus (terror). But also Concordia (harmony) and the Cupid’s, (various aspects of love). Her weapon was the belt or girdle that attracted others to her. Her unruly parent Uranus is feeling the pain of her birth whilst traveling Thru the earthy sign of Taurus.

​Much ado about everything. Your relationships are in the big top center ring. Try to remember to take care of yourself first. You heal through diplomacy and a charismatic chemistry. Let the many demands on your psyche be a vision in the clouds. Whatever makes the mind settle is needed. The fires that are burning will peter out.

​“The tree of logic can be a demanding master, your mind will push the logic of a fact to its ultimate conclusion in an unmitigated act.” PB Kerr. 

We seem to want to make sense of that which is not conforming. The nature of the word “fact” has been put in peril. Truth has many metaphysical and other theories to explain it. 

Cartwright says “ a belief is true if and only if it corresponds to a fact”. See “truth” in Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy.

We are stretching the muscle of the mind with information that can be deceiving. Allow the fluidity of time to gather the impervious gates and relax into swaddling.

​The Sun is shining on you. Mid-month let the diplomacy you excel at, be front and center. Never worry about intelligence, you have plenty. Try and lead with your feelings. Playfulness may seem surrounded by elements of the taskmaster. Find camouflage to divert any overt harsh ideas. Mutable is your friend.

​Horace Walpole wrote “life is a comedy for those who think, and a tragedy for those who feel, a solution of why Democritus laughed and Heraclitus wept.”

The masks of comedy and tragedy suggest that science and the mind are cheerful and emotions are not. 

Walpole house Strawberry Hill may have inspired the Beatles song. 

The Ancient Greek philosophers gave us our first written polarizing principles to ponder. Now we must find the internal freedom to balance both.

​It is hot out there. The temperature is gaging your fortitude. As you have light on your side, it will seem possible to expose your underbelly and be supported. Energy comes from delving into the unconscious and performing the rites that are exposed. Surround yourself with the beauty you enjoy.

​Open your hearts, open the door between the worlds, open your options.

The eclipse on the US birthday brings enormous focus on our country. See this as time to allow expectations to dissolve. The energy of guessing is not helpful right now. We are rebuilding internally, but may not be able to see our efforts. Energy never dissipates, it mutates.

The Sumerians worshiped the male deity Sin. The word means wisdom and often portrayed the bull. The moon is exalted in the sign of Taurus. This month the sign of Cancer is ruled by the moon.

​Gravity is constantly shifting and that is your sensibility to follow the wave. Like a snail, you can carry your home wherever you go. Keep the memory that others perceive your presence as gratifying, but remember the importance of boundaries. The required distancing of today’s world requires you to keep it in place. Sin, the Moon God, provides and unifies.

​This month seems about trying to make decisions.

Masks have been with us all along.

The Druids, the Greeks, the native people of every country use them to be someone else for a while. Every profession has a language that validates the perceptions they perceive to enhance the dialogue.

We tend to retreat when we can’t decide.

Moods make us love and hate what is uncomfortable, but also create new hats to make us laugh.

Changing our inner monologue is a great achievement. It leads to being able to make a choice.

​So much activity, even for you is agitating. Luckily your home front is actually more comforting than last month. The full moon on the 5th is also an eclipse. Your unconscious need to expand your insight is very promising. Your ruler, close to earth and dancing backward is about finding cash and self-worth. Prance in the moonlight

It is the Taurean time to understand Uranus. The lightning bolts may be made of cactus rather than peonies but as flowers are your greatest love, you can use the power of prickly things. Illumination revelation, two words for Uranus.

The world is dreaming more than ever before with this unaccustomed isolation and confusion. Those dreams can point us to the power of sustaining the necessary. Choose this time to observe your intuition.

With this planet, the truth is the only choice, but how you express it is key.

And about anger, here is something to ponder:

Your ruler is being a bit of a trickster. You need to grow eyes at the back of your head. Opportunity for unusual ways to satisfy your need for security. To release some energy you may have some altercations, this will remind you of the discipline and consistency that you are so good at.

In Memory of my friend Judy Drucker, Impresaria.The angels new companion.

Music is the magic that transports us to another dimension. Like the poem “If”, If you can dream, and not make dreams your master; then to “hold on” is a snap.

The essence of truth is feeling with logic. We feel melody and beat and harmony and the hearing brings levity and light.

There are approximately 100 musicians in a symphony orchestra. Wind, string, brass and percussion are the categories. There could be a correlation to the elements, air, water, fire and earth.

As a fire sign, which brass instrument appeals to you? Saxophone, French Horn, trumpet, or cornet? The timber of metal is inspiring. You will be the puppet master. The old rules are dissolving and the needs of many will be there for you to orchestrate. Listen intently.

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and is associated with unconditional selfless love.

Charity’s definition is Christian love of ones fellows. The word comes from caritas (dear one) and before that, the Greek agape. Agape is used as a form of affection but also as the most selfless love of others. How can we resolve the individual entitlement of today’s barrage of information with this concept?

It is true we must have self-love to give love away to others, and we practice prayer, meditation, yoga, hypnosis, LSD therapy to attempt self-love. Freud may have invented individualism but the USA popularized it. The love of celebrities are our gods. A celebrity may offer skin care advice, health advice, political advice and financial advice. This is indeed a different situation than the Gods of any era may have subscribed to.

Facts are an illusion you appreciate. Gut instincts are more to your liking. Seek out folk dancing, choral practice, or tag team bungee jumping. You may be a sign of endings but without you, there are no beginnings. Keep everybody off kilter and jolly. Whom do you admire, the Kardashians or Molière?

Is all the drama about the fear we have of not understanding? The world stage is filled with a negativity of everything. The earth is dying, the politicians and CEOs are going to combust. Our health is being ruined by all sorts of chemical and organic waste. Our devices tell us every variable that cannot possibly be in existence at once.

No wonder many embrace the mantra of nothingness.

But we still love light, beauty and knowledge. We will prevail as we are reckless creatures, with a soul. The first step in Native American belief is “to learn to be alone.”

Their mandalas often feature birds of prey.

Be here now. Ram Dass coined a reliable mantra. The only constant is change. More than most, you feel this. You duck and weave with talent. Sensing the brain as the servant to the heart. Entitlement is not for you, even if you think so. Be with groups, but don’t follow them.

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.
