30 July  empowerment seems impossible to achieve with current life direction, restrictions that seem wise also make the option seem dull, beauty and reward require destruction or radical change in order to come about, and the social circle asks us to adjust our material orientation to what they want, not what we do. The contrariness of energies today may bring many of us to a standstill; those who can pull back a bit and take an objective view can, however, make significant personal progress–I say personal because the goals must mean something to us, which is what makes our objectivity meaningful–and it is in this ability to simultaneously hold two conscious points of view at one time that you’ll find the answers to today’s frustrating energy mix. Hint: committing to solid decisions, building things, and creating in your reality all directly and seriously affect the life path at this time–so be aware of this as you make choices.

19 July What seems wise (or obviously is the smart choice) may appear to make moving in our desired direction difficult. Is this just an optical illusion? No, we’re actually sensing how making the wise choice may infringe on our movement forward–so we have to ask ourselves, What’s the right choice? It’s entirely possible to choose something wise in that it preserves the status quo, or in that it keeps the body, the wallet, or the career from danger, and yet this can be the wrong choice, from a moral or humanitarian perspective, or even from a viewpoint that values opportunity and is not averse to risk. Consider what’s the right choice for you, in terms of both spirit and material worlds–we shouldn’t shortchange either, in our quest for balance.

16 July communications suddenly go remarkably smoothly, and things seem sunny–why? What’s going on right now is like an iceberg: the part you can see looks smooth and manageable, but there’s a lot happening below the surface, and we just don’t see it. That’s okay; often currents flow where we can’t see them or what they’re bringing toward us–we’re not meant to–this is one of those times. Just enjoy that things seem to be flowing well, and don’t over commit or make projections based on present conditions.  (Mercury trine the North Node, Sun sextile Sedna/ Earth trine Sedna)

17 July Today brings perfection of the Grand Trine of Neptune-Saturn-Jupiter, and so presents us with the most powerful point for dream manifestation. Others may try to persuade us that what we imagine isn’t feasible. They are incorrect. Relationships, finances, and all power situations are misleading at this time; it’s the point when we must have more faith in our vision than in our surroundings. It’s a true test of whether we will manifest our idea, or back off, and let ‘reality’ literally squash our dream.

By Friday the 12th the Sun will be sesquiquadrate Neptune–anyone with placements at 3-6 Sagittarius will very likely be engaged in a serious, and possibly contentious, contest sorting out the real from the imagined, the idealized from the dream as it really is, and the illusory and ‘mirages’ from what’s truly hold-in-your-hand creative, while deceptions perpetrated by others, big or small, could be uncovered at this time by everyone. Remember, though, that the mind isn’t to be relied on completely; we must supplement with feeling, intuition, and impressions received from others and through non-verbal senses–all these will fill in the blanks, and be understood eventually, if not right away.
