Venus in Cancer & Moon Moves into Sagittarius & Mercury Opposition to Neptune (July 31-August 2)

When I give an astrological reading I always start out saying that you don’t have to believe in astrology to benefit from the reading! My practical approach as a Taurus is: Try it out, see if it serves you and then decide if you want to deepen your relation with astrology. In my personal experience with over 31 years of astrology in my life and those of my clients the value is beyond mere believe.

Lunar Astrology

Following the lunar astrology with the Moon moving through the signs of the zodiac is one way of fine tuning my perception of my emotional journey throughout the month. It brings me in touch with the impermanence of life and especially of my emotions. It helps me to not take myself so serious and adjust my conscious thoughts to the highest level of the potential of each sign.

I accept where I am and then focus on where I rather want to go! Like Abraham-Hicks is saying: “Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don't want.”  I use the Lunar Astrology to imagine the best and align myself through taking action along those lines.

Moon in Sagittarius on Friday

After the inward motion and intensity of the Moon in Scorpio the last two days we are ready for the expansive nature of Sagittarius.

The gregarious nature of Sagittarian people is hard not to like! They are idealistic and care about the state of the world, leading them to take up vocations in medicine, education, religion, and politics. They are high energy people, always involved in one project or another, adventures of spirit, in search of universal wisdom, full of openness, generosity, and have a sociable nature. They posses a lot of energy, passion and are full of ideas as a fire sign. The Moon in this sign will help us to find that part in ourselves!

They are ruled by Jupiter who is considered a very fortunate and joyful energy in astrology.

This Weekend

Whenever we expand, learn something new, get excited and passionate about something we feel good!  Growing as humans into our fuller potential is one of our basic human needs. If we stop growing we will feel bored, stagnant and very unhappy with ourselves.

I am a Star Trek fan; I love the open possibility mindset of the show.  With all the interstellar problems they are facing, they never give up and always figure something out. So I watched Star Trek last night and the episode finished with Deida, the android saying that he will continue striving to become a better person…

It seems like that is what evolutionary growth is all about! Be where you are, love yourself for who you are and where you are and strive for better!

Use the Sagittarian energy this weekend to expand out of your box. Take a little trip and visit that friend you have not seen for a while.

Check in with yourself and where you are in your life. Do you feel fulfilled in what you are doing? How about your relationship? What could you do to experience more satisfaction and fulfillment? Would you want to go back to school and enhance your education?

Do you have a way to contribute to your community? Would you like to be a mentor at Big Brothers, Big Sisters?

Venus in Cancer

Venus the goddess of love, beauty and harmony visits the home of the Moon, the sign of Cancer, the other feminine player in astrology. With it we will feel more emotionally grounded and nourished by life and the divine. It is easier to believe and actually feel the benevolent nature of the universe and our place in it.

At the same time themes around home and family, having children or not, feeling safe will be in the foreground. It will be a very fertile time for conception and you can plan around that depending on which direction you want to go with it. It is certainly an easier time to get pregnant if you want that or not!

But fertility can also show up in an abundance of creative ideas and new projects for you.

Mercury Opposition to Neptune

Mercury is strongly associated with everything involving communication—speaking writing, the media, even our internal communication. Mercury rules all things related to the mind and our internal life: rational thinking, intellect, intelligence, curiosity, learning, and memory.

Mercury describes the inner working of the mind and depending on the sign he is in, he will have a leaning and preference to how to channel and incorporate ideas and visions into our life. With the Neptune opposition there will be a greater opening into your intuition and collective unconsciousness. Mercury is in Leo and Neptune is stationed in Aquarius, activating the same axes where the Lunar Eclipse is happening on August 5-6 as well. Get ready for the ride!

The Potential of the Aquarius/Leo Lunar Eclipse

I believe wherever this eclipse is touching into your chart it will have a profound impact for your soul’s journey in these challenging times. Note in which house the eclipse falls in your chart and which aspects it is forming to personal planets.

You will be called upon extending your goodwill to others, be a role model for your beliefs concerning change for the better, taking care for your neighbors, acting from a place of oneness and connectedness, taking charge and stepping up. Become a leader for what you believe in! Grass root movements are needed to move on into the Aquarian Age, into the year 2012 with all its prophesied changes in consciousness of humankind.

A Gemstone for Balance: The Herkimer Diamond [1]

“This stone is truly amazing in its beauty, clarity, and perfection. Unlike the Diamond, which must be cut and polished to bring out its beauty, the Herkimer Diamond is perfect in its natural state and requires no cutting or polishing at all. It is untouched by the human hand.

Balancing the Aura and Stabilizing Our Energy

The Herkimer Diamond has a very special place among the gems because of its superior qualities. It is worn most beneficially over the heart. Sitting on the heart chakra, which is the middle one of the seven, it balances the whole energetic system. Thus it is able to strengthen our auric field against all kinds of radiation, including electro smog and negative thought projections. We are constantly targeted by radiation in our daily lives, especially in urban areas. It is known that sitting in front of a computer for several hours can lower our white blood cell count, which inevitably impacts our health. The Herkimer Diamond in its perfection and balance between the negative and positive points can balance us and strengthen our own energy field.

This stone also strengthens our auric field against negative emotional or mental projections. I have made many Herkimer Diamond pendants for people who work in the healing professions to help them stabilize and treat their clients without picking up their imbalances. The more sensitive you are the more likely you are to pick up on disharmony in your outer field. The Herkimer Diamond is your ally in maintaining your own balance and strength.”

Where Do Gemstones Fit in with All of This?

With my background and experience as a healer, jeweler and astrologer I like to use the powers of the gemstones as a tool for balance and as an anchor for the highest potential I want to focus on. Have you heard about the work with NLP and how you can use setting a conscious anchor to activate a specific emotional or mental state? That and more you can learn about in my book. I am so passionate about gemstones and think it is such an elegant way to use them as allies for the inner balance we crave.

In my book Jewelry and Gems for Self-Discovery: Choosing Gemstones that Delight the Eyes & Strengthen the Soul I teach you about basic astrological concepts, how to read your chart and find the main themes and challenges in your chart.

When you are aware of the bigger picture and you will be able to balance yourself with your 12 main healing gemstones, I am calling your true birthstones. If that interests you have a closer look at http://www.JewelryandGemsforSelfdiscovery.com .

What is the short hose that hangs off the radiator of a 2000 mercury cougar?

My husband bought a cougar from someone and there is a short hose hanging off the radiator that is not attached to anything. The engine is not over heating or anything but he was concerned as to why it was there and if it was to be connected to something.

Your more than welcome to email me and I will send you a Ford breakdown of the hoses.
