22 July-22 August
You need to conduct a roundtable discussion on the 3rd. You'll probably go into this event with preconceived "facts" from what you thought were the most informed experts. You will walk away from this meeting with more questions than answers. The advice given to you, all with sincere good intent had a few holes in it. The thoughts and questions raised on the 3rd help you see another view and layer upon layer of possibility. This is not a yes/no or black/white issue that you are managing. This is a very complicated situation with pros and cons attached to each solution under consideration. There will have to be more sacrifices made, from the top tier down. You may be one of the people affected by this. No matter what is discussed, keep your mind open to additional suggestions and views. In a way, this problem is as incomprehensible as infinity. What you may decide, probably early next year, is a step-by-step approach to stopping a rising tide of fear, debt, and uncertainty. You're fighting for your job, but many of those you speak to are fighting for their lives. You look for ways to stop a relationship or financial situation from crumbling by experimenting with different trial and error efforts. You keep an open mind and erase everything you thought you knew about money management, big business, and personal relationships. No matter how smart and experienced you are, you realize as you turn each new page in the book of knowledge that there is so much more to learn. Some of you use historical references; but just as many of you jump higher and look to a totally new, unexplored future. You can see that the old rules just don't work any more. This is further dramatized on the 8th when a New Moon falls in your solar 2nd house of earned income. You know you need help financially, but where and how can you get it? That seems to be the burning question this month. In the past, people mortgaged their homes to the hilt and used that money to live on, pay bills, and take vacations. Now, some of those people are losing their homes. You're aware of this and are committed to say or do something that will jumpstart others' confidence and courage in you. Right now, you need to find and use your leonine courage. If your situation is stretched to the max, it's not that easy to play Captain Courageous. The 12th moves Mercury direct (officially) but Mercury remains slow (storm period) until the 17th. After the 17th, you start to see things turning forward instead of backward. You feel better about yourself and get even stronger from the 14th onward, when Pluto goes direct (thank Goddess!) and Mars moves into Scorpio. This helps your property or living situation. If you have a mortgage, this starts a period that may bring some leeway and relief. On the 18th, you feel a lot better. You're able to help yourself, but also generous enough to boost others' morale. You act instead of just talk – and make a measurable difference every time you do. You're more creative, more in love with life, and feel (at long last) hopeful! The 21st offers a few existential blobs that you could care less about and wisely ignore. The 22nd pushes the Sun into your solar 3rd house of self-expression, and brings in the fall Equinox! Your disposition lightens up and your creativity roars like a Harley on the 23rd (Full Moon in hot & spicy Aries).
