Lunar Notes

Aries: Throughout this period you juggle people, events and ideas. Despite the fact that there is a lot going on, you manage to pull all the threads together and remain in control. Romance and creative self-expression bring some fun and games into your life. Conversation and conflict forge new and brilliant ideas. Pay attention to your dreams.

Taurus: Try to avoid conflict with neighbors, siblings and those you come in contact with on a daily basis. The Full Moon seems to bring out the worst in people. State your case clearly and be assertive, not aggressive. Don’t make promises that you cannot keep. Take in something artsy and cultural to feed your soul.

Gemini: Gemini is in for a pleasant couple of weeks. The usual Fourth of July gatherings bring romance and new people into your life, providing a great opportunity to expand your network. Don’t neglect routine responsibilities before you hit the party circuit. Pay attention to money spent. Don’t get hit with overdue penalties.

Cancer: There’s been a lot on your mind lately and you have been quietly mulling things over. Around the Last Quarter Moon on the 8^th, you are finally able to articulate your feelings. Coming out with both barrels blazing may not win friends and influence people. Take it down a notch.  Money flows in and out just as fast.

Leo: On one hand it seems like everything is coming your way these days. You’re popular and receive tons of invitations and opportunities for social events. On the other hand, some very personal and behind-the-scenes issues may keep you from enjoying these pleasant activities. Slow down, sit down and look beneath the surface.

Virgo: You’re filled with compassion for those around you who are suffering. You want to help and take care of someone. Don’t become a martyr to the cause. You can help, but don’t lose yourself in the process. Some unresolved issues surface in a relationship. You’re more in touch with your spiritual side. The answers are within.

Libra: Libra’s balancing skills are called into play as you deal with budget concerns and your dreams for the future. A raise in salary is quite possible, but an expense that you thought you were through with returns, creating a shortfall. Friends and group activities occupy you, and you meet many new and interesting people.

Scorpio: Your hard work for the past couple of years pays off now. Of course, if you have been goofing off and letting things ride the payoff may be quite different. Saturn, the planet of payback, has returned to Scorpio for a few months and Saturn gives you what you have earned.  Opportunity is all around you; take advantage of it.

Sagittarius: Your passions are aroused and while there is romance in the air, your passions may involve a philosophy, a point of view or a value system. You’re cleaning out the attic of your mind, dusting things off, tossing or keeping stuff. That romance may come from someone of a different background or someone very unusual.

Capricorn: Conflict and conversation with friends, co-workers and lovers push some buttons in your psyche, bringing up some deep-rooted junk. You’re learning that it is safe to look within for the answers. Although an old friend may make you angry, you know you can rely on their advice. Painful truths when faced, clear the air.

Aquarius: Although you are having some conflict with folks you deal with on a daily basis, there are some very pleasant and helpful people entering your life now. Romance and love may enter your life now as well. This is also a good time to start a new exercise or dietary routine. A healthy outlet for your energy is needed now.

Pisces: Your life is filled with people, new friends, old friends, lovers and co-workers. Some of these relationships run smoothly while others require a cool head and even hand to iron out differences. Around the 12^th, the unexpected brings some excitement that affects your love and your money. A friend from afar brings advice and news.
