Lynn Andrews says in her recent book, Coming Full Circle – Ancient Teachings for a Modern World, “You have one responsibility, and that is to enlighten yourself…There is no trying. You either do it or you don’t, and some things you simply cannot do. You cannot shift others for them. It is something they have to become willing to work for, themselves.”

SACRED ASTROLOGY

By Brenda Black, Certified Astrologer

July 2012

July begins with a Full Moon at 12 degrees of Capricorn on the 3rd around 11:52 AM PDT.  The Sun in Cancer joins Sirius, which is the brightest star in the sky.   Sirius was prominent in the ancient calendars in Egypt. The theme is to find the sacredness in the mundane actions of daily life.  The message of this Full Moon is to seek balance between your domestic and personal needs as well as your professional and public life. 

We have survived Venus, Mars, and Saturn Retrogrades so far this year.  In July Uranus and Mercury turn Retrograde.  We continue reviewing and revising our life plans to fit this transformative 2012 energy.  This is a month of fated events.  Issues from the past that have not been resolved tend to surface this month for review and resolution so that we can put the period at the end of the sentence and move forward. 

On July 13th Uranus will turn retrograde at 7-8 degrees of Aries around 2:49 AM PDT.  Then on July 14th Mercury will turn retrograde at around 12-13 degrees of Leo around 7:15 PM.  Because these two planets are in fire signs, some area in our lives will be activated.  Think of Mercury Retrograde as a “course correction” where we take a second look at our life’s progress.
