July 2007 Astrology Report

Overview: Astrology is a story that is created by the actors which are represented by the planets playing a role that is descriptive of the signs those planets are residing in that are expressed through the mathematical equations that create the aspects. We are all aware of important events that have occurred in our lives that have left lasting impressions in our hearts and minds that were created by instrumental people places and circumstances that are often forgotten about until that special song plays on the radio that was the hit of the moment or a current event is an reenactment that brings such familiarity to refresh past memories to current thought and feelings making the past flash into the present. Past mistakes not rectified in the present become the future experiences. There is a connective link between all things and all people. We are creatures of our own ancestry the DNA of generations before that have culminated into the present creation of self. Many of us hold the belief that this life we are experiencing is a direct result of previous lives as well as the ingredients responsible for creating future lives. If you were to examine these thoughts about stories, memories, experiences, the past, present and future you would find one element that holds true at the center throughout. That one element is you. Each of us holds within the story of a life that is unfolding with each passing moment. A life that was influenced by the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual connection with our past and the experiences that were once passing moments that developed into the present life and through those experiences was creating our futures. Each month we have New Moons, when the sun and moon are joined at the same sign and degree, Full moons when the sun and Moon are in opposite signs, Planets going retrograde or turning direct or changing from one sign to the next. These are indications of timing, of when you can go with the flow of life with ease or when you can feel inner turmoil that screams to be released to let out the pent up frustrations or draws you to others of like minds and hearts to share in what you find renews your spirit. The month of July has five of the ten planets retrograde for the majority of the time. We will have Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto continue in retrograde motion throughout the month. With mercury continuing its retrograde motion since June 15th until July 9 th when it turns direct and finally coming out of its retrograde shadow July 25th. Venus has been in its retrograde shadow all month before actually turning retrograde July 27. When planets are in retrograde motion they are not in a position of being supportive. They are requesting reflection or internal creation. And with these planets retrograde in July it might just be a perfect time to schedule some vacation time to enjoy doing some special events with friends and family around home, picnics or a day at a theme park or at the beach. So you could say Mercury in Cancer retrograde is asking us to do personal inventory and question our thoughts connected with home, security, family, habits, personal fulfillment and emotional connective ness with those we share our lives with. This is not the time to make large purchases or investments in homes, autos, and electrical appliances. Vacations scheduled at this time should be ones that allow spontaneity and not ones that require tight scheduling as they can bring delays, missed connections and lost luggage. It is a perfect time for cleaning out the closets and junk drawers of unwanted or unused items. And with Venus in Virgo retrograde it is time to evaluate, scrutinize and reconnect with personal desires as we exam our daily activities and schedules to see if they are giving support to or creating obstacles to creating a healthier, happier life. It is not the time to schedule important events such as weddings, financial planning, purchasing stocks or bonds or having cosmetic surgery.
