Re: Astrology
Speaking of astrology, for those of you who follow cosmic energies, this morning was a new moon in the sign of Leo. This makes today and tomorrow great days for focusing on goals and summoning up the energy to see them through. Leo new moons have a certain bite to them, as we all respond to this Fire sign's passionate energy.
We also have a moon and Saturn conjunction later tonight, which carries a practical energy. So it will be easier to gather information through doing research, outlining financial details, etc. to back up our plans. But with Mercury still in retrograde until this Friday, and Mercury still in what is called its "storm" period until August 4th, many of us will find that it's still a little premature to set those plans in action. It's best to wait for the all clear after August 4th before pushing ahead with major stuff. I write about these influences in my Sunday, July 23rd blog entry:

New moons are great days for doing affirmations and setting intentions because they function as a "mini New Year" for the month. They are great times for summoning up the energy for the reality you want to align with. New moon periods are also fun times to write yourself a new moon abundance check as a prosperity ritual or meditation. (This is best to do within three days before or after a new moon.)
Jupiter went direct on July 5th, which was kind of a biggie, astrologically speaking. Here is an article of mine about what it means now that Jupiter is direct:

Philosopher Richard Tarnas just came out with an intriguing book called Cosmos and Psyche which offers some great thoughts on how astrology acts as a hologram or energy blueprint that we move through. My article about this and his work:

Okay, I just wanted to pitch in about some recent astrology material at my site that addresses some of the wonderful comments created in this thread, since I was posting here back when this thread first got started.
