Energy of Stars: This explosive release of energy from a star, packed the power of thousands of solar flares, as conceptualized by NASA which recorded the flare with its SWIFT Satellite. Flares release energy across the electromagnetic spectrum, and flares from our own Sun are capable of disrupting all communications on Earth, among other things..

Weekend Astro Update…

Sunday dawns with quiet certitude as your enjoyable day brings opportunities for growth. Talk with your mate about some new ideas for a quick outing. Go enjoy that bookstore. Have a good cup of coffee or tea. It is a time for entertaining all the new things you may create together. It is a day when your future shines brightly. What else are weekends all about?

“Remember — it’s healthy to be Spiritual. How to do this with your mate? Just talk about it.”

The work-week starts out with a lot of busy energy as Monday kicks off. There’s tension in the air, so remember to sort out the good kind and work with it. Good tension? Yes — like creative tension when you are working to solve something on a project. You will have a good gut instinct today about how to proceed, so use those good communication skills to put this across to your colleagues and mate.

Tuesday appears a bit quieter in the heavens as the Moon (Emotions) finds harmony with Saturn (Limitations), and the Sun (Personality) embraces transformation. Mercury is also nervous about growth, and this sets up a day when you would rather feel safe by sticking with what you know — staying in your comfort zone. That’s ok sometimes, but you need to make sure that your motivation is not simply fear of change. Breakthroughs come through growth.

At mid-week, we see the heavens becoming more active again, and Chiron (Health) and Neptune (Spirituality) will play key roles in your love relationship, on Wednesday. Remember — it’s healthy to be Spiritual. How to do this with your mate? Just talk about it. Even agnostics have a Spiritual position, and it is good for you to examine exactly where you stand. Life is a long series of learning about your principles, and so the choices you make. Pray.

From bottom: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.

The weekend rolls in with the Moon working in conjunction with both the energies of Uranus (New Ideas) and Jupiter (Growth), on Saturday. During warm days of Summer, you may have a lot of good ideas for how to develop both your property, and your key relationships. That’s good. But, don’t expect a break-through until you carefully examine all restrictions — both self-imposed and otherwise. Often the only roadblock lies within yourself. Seize the weekend.

“…you have to first discern any self imposed limitations… then break through them.”

Happy Independence day to all Americans on Sunday, as we see a bit of tension in the air. Remember that tension between planets can manifest as areas to look at in your relationships. So, today you have an opportunity to talk and really listen well to your mate about anything getting in the way of your progress. Things never stand still. It will be good for your health to reveal the way of the spirit so you can grow together.

Monday finds the Moon (emotions) squaring off with Mercury (communication), plus three harmonies and three stress points to deal with. When Mercury is involved, this is a sign for you to exercise all good communication skills, both those for sharing yourself with others, and particularly for listening well. The three keys for your growth today are Love, Spirit, and Health. When you exercise your love at the Spiritual level (beyond lust), it brings you great blessings in life. You will find that whatever you thought was holding you back will melt away.

We find just two aspects of focus on Tuesday, as the Moon dances in Trine with Pluto and show tension with Saturn. This is a clear message that in order to get where you need to go in life, you have to first discern any self imposed limitations… then break through them. Often the only thing holding you back is yourself. We box ourselves in, and throw up walls. Someone may have told us we can’t do something… and we agreed. Break that agreement. Do what you need to do. And do so with principles and the guidance of God.

Saturday brings a lot of celestial activity. The Moon is making nice with Uranus, Venus and Saturn.  Think of some new, but practical ideas you can bring into your love relationships.  Could you spend the afternoon cooking together with some new recipes?  Then there’s some tension between Mars and Saturn.  Mars wants to get things going — Saturn wants to slow things down.  Go with your intuition there.  Remember to listen well to those around you — they have important ideas for you.

“What are you feeling that is holding you back?  Communication will lead you to your breakthrough answer.”

Sunday shows some emotional tension involving Pluto, Uranus, and Mercury.  This is a good day to practice good Communication skills. There’s a chance you can make a breakthrough if you listen well, and are open to new ideas.  The Moon is in trine with the Sun, also today, so your critical thinking and intuition should be in tune with one another.  This will bring greater understanding as you deal with family and friends.

Monday looks busy in the heavens as the week begins.  Mercury is cooperating with Pluto even as is squares off with Saturn. You will need to get beyond some restrictions in order to achieve a breakthrough.  Jupiter is working in conjunction with Chiron to bring healthy growth to your life. Meanwhile, the Moon opposes both Jupiter and Chiron throwing an emotional wrench into your plans.  What are you feeling that is holding you back?  Communication will lead you to your breakthrough answer.

Tuesday quiets down as Mercury (Communication) shows stress with Mars (Initiation), and the Moon (Emotions) squares off with both Venus (Love), and the Sun (Personality). What do you love about yourself?  What do you wish you could change?  Have a good talk about this with yourself, then consider who you need to talk with to take the next step.  A supervisor at work?  A college entrance counselor?  Someone in your family?  Prepare yourself with honest introspection… then go make the right moves.
