This Full Moon is a reminder to surrender our own agendas to Spirit. It asks you to have Faith that all is in Divine Order, even if it is hidden from view. There is a strong urge to bring balance to some area of your life during this time of the month, and this is especially true now with three planets in Libra-the sign of the scales. Give and take; to and from; ebb and flow–allowing the movements of life to sway without sending you over to tilt is one of the arts of living. Through awareness, you can use the energy now (and for a couple days at least) to practice this. Read more about the influence of this Full Moon in Pisces here.

“It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are.“
~ee cummings
And I might say it this way: It takes courage to grow and become who you really are.

The Leo New Moon is tonight, the 9th, at 8:08 pm PDT and it is, in essence, an invitation to ourselves. It empathizes how you go about expressing your unique gifts, talents and offerings. Are you confident and self assured? Do you trust yourself to even know how to do this? The Leo spark available to all now can help you to find the courage and enthusiasm to act with boldness, planting seeds in the direction you want your life to be going. This dynamic energy is an expression of your own connection to Source.

The astrological energies are just so very amazing now, and this will
definitely continue into next month.
Here’s what’s going on, and in the just next few days!
- 23rd-Jupiter stations retrograde at 3 degrees Aries until 11/18.
- 24th-Jupiter (while stationing) squares Pluto in Capricorn.
- 25th-Full Moon in Aquarius (at 3 degrees at 6:37 pm PDT).
- 26th-Saturn opposite Uranus at 0 degrees Libra/Aries.
Rather than go into each of these separately, I will write about their collective influence because they are occurring so close together. First, this is rare. It just doesn’t happen too often that four events, of such magnitude, occur in such a short time period. This will only intensify each of them. Intensify how? Let’s look at this.

There are common energetic threads running between these influences: they all can expand whatever they are influencing. So for several days this sense of expansion and feelings of things increasing beyond where they were originally will be pervasive. Things can blow up out of proportion, increase in size, develop into mountains where they were just mole hills…perhaps you get the picture.
Current Events
There are two events in the news that are concerning me now. One is that the hurricane season is upon us. Under these influences any storm that arises could expand quickly and in unexpected fashion. How this may impact

In the four+ decades that I have been studying Astrology, there have only been a handful of times when the planets have aligned in as tight and intense of configuration as they are now. And as we enter the height of the potent celestial energies many have been talking and writing about, I wanted to step back a bit and look at two specific things:
- One is to give a brief overview of the the astrological events that brought us to this time of powerful shifts and change.
- And second, to address how these events are impacting some people in very intense and challenging ways. So if you are one of those, read on.
Many astrologers would agree that the current pattern of intensity began when Pluto entered Capricorn in January, 2008. As this began to be felt, it seemed to challenge the very ground we stood on. Things began to shift at such fundamental levels that many began thinking “will things ever be the same?”. Perhaps you were one of them?
Later in 2008, on November 4th (which just happened to be Election Day) the first of five Saturn-Uranus oppositions occurred. A rare event not to occur again for decade. Saturn and Uranus

Solar Eclipse over Easter Island Credit: www.astrosurf.com/sguisard/
..
The two weeks following an eclipse can be quite interesting, to say the least.
While many of you many be feeling shifts, you may not be able to put your finger on it as you find yourself wondering: what just happened?
An activation of things inner and outer, known and unknown, some of which you can see and feel and some you cannot at this time, has just occurred.
Are experiencing one of the following:
If you’re asking things like “what’s next? where do I go from here?”…
it is likely you felt shifts take place internally (emotionally or mentally) but not noticing changes externally (in the physical). Keep in mind two things: One is that nothing can happen externally before it is conceived of internally. New patterns develop from the inside out.
And two, there is more to come. Meaning, we are truly in the midst of the powerful energies influencing us all this Summer (and beyond). “God gave us time so we didn’t have to do everything at once.” Be patient and be present to what is happening within.

[Part 1 of 2]
NOTE: In this article, I have chosen to write about the Solar Eclipse on July 11th from a personal-spiritual perspective. Please know that there are other vantages from which to view its influence and numerous ways this event will be impacting us globally, economically and politically to name a few. It may also trigger intense weather, hurricanes, earthquakes or other such events. The impacts of the Eclipse will be felt for 30-90 days.
“The Self awakens only as he contacts the Earth.”
~ Dane Rudhyar

The Solar Eclipse on July 11th is occurring in Cancer at 12:41 pm, which rules home, among other things. And while it rules our physical home, the place where we live, in a Universal sense it also rules the intended home for our own higher consciousness. This higher part of each of us has a very specific agenda in this regard and that is to descend into its home in the physical realm, specifically in our body. I feel this Solar Eclipse will create openings for this to occur.
Dane Rudhyar, considered by many to be one of the greatest astrologers of the last century, says the sign of Cancer is where “the abstract word is made flesh…the fulfillment of Spirit that must embody in earth-substance”. And that “until the ‘I Am’ urge of our true spiritual self asserts

What will the influence of the Solar Eclipse be? How long will it be felt? And what can you expect? Read below for more info…
[This is the 2nd part of two articles on the Solar Eclipse of July 11, 2010. You can read part one, Coming Home to Your Life, here.]
In the first part of this 2-part article on the Solar Eclipse of 7/11/10, I discussed the spiritual significance of of the Eclipse. Here I will discuss more about the aspects and the impact of the Eclipse. Please note that if you are reading these articles after the eclipse the information given is applicable for several weeks afterward as that is how long the eclipse will have an impact.

On July 11, 1991 there was a solar eclipse in Cancer whose path went directly over the big island of Hawaii and I was fortunate enough to be there. Ever since, I have been an absolute Eclips-oholic. It was an experience I put in the top five most amazing of my life. During the eclipse of last July, I wrote: Solar & Lunar Eclipses ~ Mayhem or Magic?
Here is an excerpt, as the information applies now as well:
How do Eclipses affect us?
There are two Solar Eclipses each year and this one is quite potent for sure. Will there be some calamity whereby the

(Please note: While this article was written about the Lunar Eclipse on June 26th, there is much information here that is applicable far beyond the Eclipse. This article was originally called: Lunar Eclipse:Divine Wake-Up Call.)
The Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse on June 26th at 4:31 am PDT, is getting a lot of attention, mostly because it is directly connected to the strong emphasis on Cardinal signs this summer. It is, indeed, a powerful celestial event which has actually been impacting us for several weeks now, and will continue to do so until fall, and perhaps beyond.
Eclipses are catalysts for profound change, triggering events that bring awakenings and new realizations to those areas ruled by the signs the eclipse is taking place in, in this case, Cancer and Capricorn.
Cancer rules our home, families, legacies and traditions, and also our ability and capacity to nurture and be nurtured. It is a sensitive, emotional sign, often evoking nostalgic memories of the past. From an esoteric viewpoint, it also rules the ancient memories of our true origins and our purpose for being here on Earth. These memories are deeply embedded within our own being, and also the Earth herself, as she is an integral part of our journey as she embraces us while we find our way home.

The Gemini New Moon is this Saturday at 4:14 am PDT. And since this New Moon is the one preceding the much anticipated Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on June 26th*, its impact is of particular significance, as it sets up the energy for that Full Moon.
Perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind regarding this New Moon in Gemini is that is a potent and fertile time for consciously utilizing the power of thought by directing the mind through mental energy.

During this Lunar phase is a perfect time to plant mental seeds
for what you want to create in the future,
and to have grow and increase in your life.
This happens whether we are attentive and aware of what we are doing or not.
Hence, in order to utilize this energy, it is important to be mindful of the nature of your thoughts for the few days before the New Moon during the balsamic phase through the New Moon (6/10-6/14). (*More coming on the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse soon.)

“Our mental facilities are the outflow of the Essence-of-Life,
and not the creating power in and of itself,
but rather what gives direction to

Full Moon tonight!
Personally, the Full Moon in Sagittarius is my favorite of the year. It opens our mind, intrigues us with new ideas and exciting possibilities. We are drawn to greener pastures and new adventures, rather real or imaginary. Communications in general are lighter, as our own opinions don’t seem as important as listening to those around us. A reevaluation of your long-held positions may need some updating under this influence.
To make the most of this wonderful energy:
Focus on the big picture.
Be a keen observer and avid learner.
Ask that higher truths be revealed to you
Find ways to have some fun today and tomorrow.
Happy Full Moon!
~Elizabeth
