Many have moved into the 21^st century waging war and killing off disease, by these actions they hope to find a place to rest in safety.  There are many ways to rest safely in this world, and these two maybe the front-runners put forth by the powers that be, yet we must individually ask ourselves how these concepts are working in our lives.  Can we find peace anywhere but in our own heart?  Can anything prevent disease as much as a focus on health?   Can safety and rest be achieved anywhere short of a true belief that we are always safe in Gods hands?

Note:  Let me recommend that everyone who is able go out side after dark from the 9^th until the 13^th and catch the annual Perseides meteor shower.  The absence of light in the night sky during the time of the New Moon gives this shower high visibility and shooting stars at a predicted rate of one a minute after midnight.
  

•  Jupiter and Saturn are visible in the evening sky until the 4^th.
  
  

• Mars rises early in the morning if you are up late on the 7^th look next to the Moon.
  
  

• Mercury is visible in the morning through the 8^th.
  
  

• The Perseides Meteor shower (see note above).
  

• Venus is visible in the morning sky until the 13^th. 
  
  

• Venus appears in the morning sky after the 22^nd.

Mercury enters Leo on the 4^th.  Think fun, play with the kids, and get creative. It is time to become a daydream believer.  Let your dream thoughts fly and see where they go.  You can be a lot more and now is the perfect time to check in with the possibilities.

Mars enters Gemini on the 7^th.  Before Mars moves into Gemini he will pass before the Seven Sisters of the Pleiades.  They ask us to look within and give up petty concerns.  This energy will dovetail beautifully with the energy of Venus retrograde in Virgo.  If ever there was a time to release that excess baggage they are ready to fly off the cart,  Just give them a nudge.

Venus re-enters Leo on the 9^th.  This is a great time to streamline our lives.  As we identify things that have outlived there usefulness, Leo’s emphasis on fun combined with Venus’s focus on our values will allow us to find easy ways to fling off strings that hold us back.

Mercury enters Virgo on the 19^th we get a chance to streamline our thoughts now.  Our analytical abilities are at their sharpest.  All the planetary positions are acting together now for us to have tremendous insight into ways we can throw out thought processes that slow us down.

Sun enters Virgo on the 23^rd.  If you were you thinking of beginning a diet, the Sun in Virgo will facilitate this energy.  Just notice how picky you can be about foods now.  Just use this energy to pick good ones.  If you have some organization you have been meaning to get to, now would be a good time
 

Jupiter stations direct on the 6^th.   As we move into this time of improving our good luck it is important that we follow up on our favorite ideas and answer opportunities' knocks.  Jupiter went retrograde on the 5^th of April.  Recall back to that time if you need clues for things you may have missed.  Feel free to move about the planet especially if you have some studies you were thinking of catching up on.

Venus begins the month in retrograde motion.  This is a wonderful time to find out what has value to us in our lives.  Love found under this aspect may not turn out the way we plan.  Another aspect of Venus retrograde is that often times someone from the past may re-enter our lives.  Take some time between now and September 9^th to review your financial situation.  It will be much more difficult to kid yourself about anything now

 Another optimistic creative moon brought to you by the added influence of Jupiter at this time.  Jupiter is in helpful aspects to both of the lights sun in Leo encourages us to take pride in our work and the Aquarius moon helps us to expand our awareness and energy on many levels.  Much of the energy present at this full moon can be used to create a brighter more optimistic future.  If you find you are working with people who are using this energy to run a turf war this may be a sure sign you are playing with those who don’t share at a healthy level and you may want to rearrange some of your play dates.  Watch for talented young artist to emerge under these influences.

This one is an eclipse.  If it is hitting any points in your chart you probably have already felt the power of this eclipse.  This eclipse offers us a doorway to advancement through introspection.  The aspects of the day will be such that the inner journey is the sanest place to spend the day. You may need paper and a pen to keep track of the insights that pop-up.  Save acting on them until today’s aspects clear up.  Communications may be very difficult today.
