Your Special Birthday Greetings for Cancer and Leo Gossip Corner lots of goodies with meetings and workshops coming up Your Sun Sign Astrology Forecast July 2018 Aries 21 March 19 April Children, creative interests, and those young and playful of heart have much to teach you. People will keep talking until you get the message, so prepare to keep practicing on listening, which includes next month. Emotions run high in the work place and long-term plans seem to stall but stay focused as this is a time of training and rehearsal. Taurus 20 April 20 May Being a hermit seems like a good idea so create peaceful place at home. The working world is not living up to expectations. Social times increase and you just want to have fun, even if times are serious. Talk to anybody and it will feel like the right, and also feel like the easy thing to do. Gemini 21 May 20 June While this feels a great time to make decisions and speak your truth, you are about to enter a time where ideas will need changing or adjusting. So, factor in an escape clause to any decisions that you have to make. This, and next month, are great times to reflect, rewrite, redesign, rethink, and become the planning manager of your own life. Cancer 21 June 22 July The needs of the important people in your life, in striking comparison to your own needs, are in the spotlight. Nobody has identical needs and desires. What is valuable to you, is a weight to somebody else. What is a weight to you, is valuable to somebody else. Spend time evaluating how you differ and make a list of the differences. Leo 23 July 22 Aug You are being called on to speak and connect to the world, but the people around you are in a state of tension. While you think you may know what is going on, you will find out more over the coming months. So, don t take anything at face value, look to a deeper reason and seek further explanations for what is happening.
Virgo 23 Aug 22 Sep Work and responsibility continues on its seemingly never-ending cycle. But wait; for Venus enters your sign to bring a sparkle and the ability to lighten the load. She also enables you to get help should you ask. You are learning about your family and the role that past has played in your own life. Ponder on the behaviors and beliefs that you have inherited. Libra 23 Sep 22 Oct Work soon keeps you busy. Connecting to family or spending time at home may have already increased emotions. These can be feelings of pleasure, or of tension. Either way, I suggest that if you plan, design, and build the outcomes that are win-win, then all your futures will prove all the better for it. A stable home base is the aim. Scorpio 23 Oct 21 Nov Tensions between family members can escalate and whatever you say will come back to haunt you so choose your words wisely. Tear down some walls and rebuild your family connections as well as undertake renovations. Work, and your role in life, take a new direction but don t make changes too quickly as adjustments are needed later next month. Sagittarius 22 Nov 21 Dec Arguing your point of view will not get you anywhere, so agree to have differing opinions. In the big picture, you are preparing for a greater role in the world and right now there are opportunities to get an early start with networking and associations which will help. Shine, for the world is watching and getting ready to help you. Capricorn 22 Dec 19 Jan Heightened emotions can be unnerving, and if you hide them, it may appear to others as coolness or aloofness. This is the time to bide your time and wait patiently and while doing this. you can tidy up loose ends and unfinished business. Over the next couple of months be like a detective and search quietly and carefully for clues. Aquarius 20 Jan 18 Feb With Mars, the god of activation, in your sign, the feeling is to rush. But you have plenty of time, so pace yourself. Otherwise you will wear out, or take inappropriate, ill-judged actions. Don t say yes all the time. Letting other people do all the talking while you do the listening means you will find out more than you expect. Pisces 19 Feb 20 March Social connections increase and people will be glad of your company, so make calls and enjoy time with others. It may feel like the time to start a new habit aimed at improving your health, but don t expect to stay motivated. Think of it as a time to practice starting a new habit or to practice focusing on achieving small goals. We do not go around the Sun in a perfect circle each year so the dates that the Sun appears to move into the signs can vary by up to one day. If you are born close to the border of two signs, then you are on the cusp and you are a blend of the two sun signs. It s time to see what s happening for you. In my work I will always use both Astrology and Palmistry. The Stars show your potential and your hands show how you grab hold of life. Through them we look to your strengths, especially now and to the future, and to see what to avoid, and what to enjoy.

Cancer 21 June 22 July What the mother sings to the cradle goes all the way to the coffin Henry Ward Beecher Somewhere within us all is the memories of the past, and some of us remember more than others. Cancerians carry emotional memories close to their heart, and while they may not remember any actual event, their body remembers the feelings. Let us honor and channel this trait to see where we carry emotional patterns which may need self-loving, which may need changing, and which may need releasing. Our bodies remember even if our intellectual self doesn t. Leo 23July 22 Aug When we are alive, we are warm. When we are dead, we are cold. While you are alive be warm. And when you are dead be cold. But until then be VERY warm. Leo Ascending When you see the brightness of a Leo, you know that they are warm and alive. We all have Leo somewhere in our charts, and therefore in some area of your life you are called to be warm. Channel this energy. and be warm! The day will come to be cold but until then be warm! Quote of the Month: I have shared this one before but it s a darn good one and is helpful. As with all the quotes sit and ponder and let it slide under your skin and into your heart. Happiness Happiness is not dependent on circumstance. And it can actually be achieved in any circumstance. Pleasure Pleasure is dependent on circumstance. If the circumstance goes away the pleasure goes away. Is there any need to get Happiness and Pleasure mixed up?

More details to follow.. Ancient Moon Gardening Gazing out the window I can see the veggie patch and this mid-winter month there is a thick growth of green manure broad beans, and I have been picking the tips to eat. There is the last of the beetroot, the spinach and a few herbs. The citrus trees are going great and all I did over the last few days was to prune the roses at a perfect time to prune for growth and as little weeding as I possibly could, so it was a quiet time in the garden. Down here in southern Victoria it was too darn cold to do much. Ohh I miss warmer days. Watching nature and plants grow is a metaphor for life and this month I noticed that nature is already acting as if spring is on its way. Does it know something that we don t? But then I remember seasons in the past when an early spring burst of blossom and growth got wiped out with a cold front and frosts. So, on refection I think that Mother Nature does not have an inside private line to Master Weather. She tries to predict it, but sometimes gets it wrong. If she gets it wrong then its OK if we get things wrong. occasionally! One mistake is a mistake, twice is a pattern and three times means that you need help (a kinesiologist) to rewire the brain!

Kerry Galea www.ancientmoongardening.com.au News from the Stars July 2018 Mars stays in Aquarius retrograde Saturn stays retrograde in Capricorn 10 th July Venus enters Virgo 11 th July Jupiter turns direct in Scorpio 13 th July New Moon in Cancer with partial Solar Eclipse in Cancer visible in Southern VIC and SA 23 rd July Sun enters Leo 26 th July Mercury turns retrograde in Leo 28 th July Full Moon in Aquarius with total Lunar Eclipse only visible here as the Moon sets The movement of the planets herald time when we feel mood changes, times we are galvanized to take action, and others times when we lack energy. There are shifts in feelings and energy levels at all New and Full Moons, when planets move into signs, or when there are connections (aspects) between planets, or when they turn retrograde or move direct again. Pay attention to the days when these shifts happen and notice your feelings and energy levels. This understanding will enhance your experience of life. To further experience the rhythm of the Moon I suggest that you aim to start planning new projects and events at the New Moon, initiate them the day after the New Moon and bring them to full development approximately two weeks later at the Full Moon. From the Full Moon back to the New Moon is a time to look at the consequences, to reflect on what you achieved and to think about changes or new ideas that you will birth again at the New Moon. Enjoy the ride! What s that in the sky? July 2018 To be amazed by the heavens, first get your bearings and note that North is the warmest side of the house. Face north and on your right is the east where the Sun rises, and on your left is west where the sun sets. Behind you is south. The darkest night is on the New Moon on the 13 th July and the brightest night is with the Full Moon on the 28 th July. For all you Night Owls A beautiful sight awaits you tonight with Venus the Evening star shining in the west and close to the bright star Regulus in the heart of Leo the Lion. Mercury is lower and practically sitting on the horizon at sunset. Find yourself handy hill or high spot and watch the place where the sun disappears. you will see one of those faint stars moving over the
other faint stars and golly yes, you have found Mercury. I still remember the excitement that I felt the first time I found him. It s a bit like seeing magic. Jupiter is overhead to the north and a big hand span to the right is Antares, in the eye of the Scorpion who always keeps us company over winter. Follow the line of stars to see the gigantic twist and curve of his tail. Saturn is high in the east and all the way to the eastern horizon is Mars. Yes, it s a busy night with two planets to the left of us, two planets to the right and a planet overhead! Let the Moon be your guide when she is with Mercury on the 14 th and 15 th, with Venus on the 16 th, with Jupiter on the 21 st, with Saturn on the 25 th and with Mars on the 27 th and 28 th. Turn around to see the Southern Cross the right way up with the Pointer Stars clear and bright, pointing the way. Even the heavens want you to see it clearly! Remember that we are the ones doing the moving and the sun does not set we roll away from him! The Sun does not rise we roll towards him. Thinking about it feels weird but allowing yourself to feel the motion will enhance your viewpoint of this wonderful planet we live on. For all you Early Birds Early this month on the 1 st and again the 28 th July you will see the Moon below Mars in the north-west. Lower in the west is Saturn but he will be gone within a few days and will become clearly visible in the evening. The Southern Cross is in the south, yep, that s why they called it the Southern Cross. Anyhow, the Cross is upside down and very low in the sky and the Pointer Stars have their work cut pointing the way as even they are low to the right. Go back to bed or continue on your way to work and have a great day. Let yourself be amazed. Thank You to those that keep me healthy!
