FORECAST
Forecasting astrological energies is a bit like trying to describe a color or sound; it's difficult to find words that accurately convey sensory perceptions. With the Sun in Cancer, and Mercury retrograde in Cancer, this month's cosmic message calls for translating feelings into action. Just as a child's requirements change, adult needs change, too. We outgrow beliefs, locations, jobs, and relationships. Mercury's retrograde period (June 15th to July 9th) helps make it clearer what's old and unhealthy. Monitor your feelings; like a Geiger counter, your emotions tell you which way to go. Contemplate and set new intentions around the New Moon at 22º Cancer on July 14th.
The Full Moon on July 29th at 7º Leo-Aquarius, along with Mars' square to Saturn on July 31st at 26º Taurus-Leo, urge us to be true to our ideals and eliminate distractions. What is your passion? What is calling you now? Remember: "You grow only by coming to the end of something and by beginning something else. --John Irving
