Mercury speeds up a little which astrologers call 'direct'. It really never went in reverse motion...only appeared so. Remember your mythology? Mercury was the messenger of the gods in ancient times. Now that it goes direct on the 8th messages and plans will work a little better...but wasn't it fun running into all those friends from the past? Look at all the restructuring you've done during the past 3 weeks...from cleaning out cabinets & closets to reorganizing the workplace. Good for you! Wednesday the 8th is a good time to have some fun or romance. Mercury joins venus in favorable aspect...remember venus is the planet of love, beauty and friends.

This month we have 2 full moons. The first is Wed. August 1st and it is also called the 'sturgeon' moon. This name came from the tribes surrounding the Great Lakes. Large amounts of sturgeon were caught this time of the year. The 2nd full moon will be August 31st and that will be called the 'blue' moon. This weekend there are favorable aspects to venus the planet of love and beauty. so enjoy! go to u tube and listen to the marcels sing 'blue moon'. This blog is not working very well. I tried to link but cannot.

The planet mercury appears to be going retro (backwards) because it slows down. It begins today, Sunday, 7/15/2012,and ends on 8/8/2012. It's a good time to review, reorganize, redo... anything that starts with 're'! Talks and meetings with old friends may come to pass. It's a time for writing those thoughts in a journal, writing that poem that's been gathering in the back of our mind or playing that song that is in our heart. Reassessing our path and taking a moment to sit quietly and watch the thoughts flow without getting involved in them. Just breathe! Watch the breath in...and ...out...just NOW!

The solar eclipse is in gemini at the new moon. On a personal level the eclipse can activate a planet or house in the individual's chart. The eclipse in a worldly sense can energize certain points. This eclipse seems to have many implications in terms of the new age of mankind. Let's imagine (neptune square the eclipse) a world of peace and love where no one goes hungry. Photo 'space.com'

Camille DeAngelis is the author of my latest, 'favorite book'. I've been up til 1am reading 'Petty Magic'. It is a great fantasy read. I loved it! I met Camille through a writing group which she generously hosted. One of the most important things I learned from Camille is to just WRITE. The editing phase comes later. She gives us many different tools to trigger our imagination. I posted a link to her blog which is very informative and helpful as well as fun!

This is an interesting article. I'm pondering!
