Shifts… OH MY!
Astrologer
Linda Sprague
Join me for an extremely timely show on the Eclipses
we’ve been experiencing with my guest and
Power Talk Live Resident Astrologer,
Linda Sprague
as we discuss the energy these eclipses and the powerful
planetary shifts we are experiencing have on us!
The next Eclipse will happen July 11th.
Be sure to listen in so you can be ready to capitalize on the energy
these changes bring!
There is so much to Astrology and I find it fascinating to
figure what the ‘heavens’ are doing into my daily life.
I have come to appreciate that all things are truly
connected and have realized that what’s going on
‘up there’ has ALOT to do with what is or isn’t going
on ‘down here’ !
Astrology has been a valuable tool for my Spiritual work as well
as my day to day questions about why I might be feeling the
way I do. I hope you will join us on the show this July 5th
the call in # is 347-677-1156

@
Watch for our next show with Linda
where we talk about the full moon in Aquarius !
Here’s what Linda has to say:
Every New Moon is a new beginning. The New Moon on July 11, 2010
is a Solar Eclipse at 19 degrees of Cancer. The sign Cancer is ruled
by the Moon and the Moon rules the family, women, motherhood,
nurturance, food, security, safety, and the home. All of these matters
were highlighted during the Capricorn Lunar Eclipse in June and they
continue to be in the spotlight this month. Unlike the Lunar Eclipse
last month, the Sun and Moon are not connected to other planets.
However, the Sun and Moon are conjunct the South Node and that is
enough to make this a big eclipse. The South Node represents the
past so we might be struggling during this eclipse period with letting
go and making changes. We would rather cling to the past. Even if
something is holding us back, it feels scary to move out of our safety
zone and everything we know. This month we learn that the seeds we
plant, the decisions we make, the projects we initiate, the steps we take,
and the contacts we make will have significance at least till the end of the year.
Be ready for anything!
These eclipses especially affect Cancerian and Capricorn folks.
They are probably facing crises or decisions that will help them
make big changes in their lives. All of us have Cancer and Capricorn
somewhere in our horoscopes, even if we have no planets in those signs.
Wherever this sign polarity occurs in your chart the eclipses are stirring
up your psyche and your everyday life. Some people will move. Some
people will focus on children or family. Others will face difficult relationship
issues or health challenges or money concerns. We will have to take action to
help resolve our problems. The eclipse energy will push us to take action
whether we want to or not. Hey, some people may have exciting surprises
in their lives that take them to a new frontier. This eclipse can bring positive
outcomes to difficulties that have been going on for quite some time.
Our Cancerian Country is also a Patriarchy
Consider the fact that our country was born under the sign of Cancer.
The United States of American is the Big Mother and she is struggling.
Right now everything here in our country seems to be of a pulling and
pushing nature. We want change. We don’t want change. Many women
have recently entered the political arena (definitely a Cancer-Capricorn influence).
The Arizona law that pertains to immigration is about the safety and security
of our homeland. The oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico has threatened the safety
of an ocean, wildlife and the environment of the coastal area. It affects our
economic stability and the safety and security of our food supply. How will
the Father Patriarch, (Capricorn government, traditional bureaucracy, and
business/economic systems), take the appropriate action to protect the Mother,
the homeland? How can we trust the fathers when they didn’t prepare ahead of
time for the emergency of an oil spill? How do we trust political fathers and
mothers to make life-saving decisions for our country when they seem to only
care about getting re-elected? The Mother is suffering and we need courageous,
intelligent leadership. Where is it? President Obama is challenged with every
move he makes. His enemies are standing in line waiting to broadcast discontent
instead of support and suggestions. On July 15th transiting Mars will make a
conjunction with Obama’s natal Mars at 22 degrees of Virgo. He is challenged
to stand up to his critics and to be courageous and intelligent in his leadership.
The strong configuration with Pluto, Uranus and Saturn is still hanging over our
heads. How do we make sane, intelligent changes that will insure a more stable
country and world? Pluto rules death and tells us loud and clear that some
things must die so we can evolve. The problem is we can’t seem to agree on what
to get rid of. In Hindu mythology, the God Shiva destroys what he no longer likes
and then creatively dances the new into existence. The belief is that Shiva is never
satisfied. He is always destroying and creating something new. Maybe the gods are
doing their dance and we just have to live through it! We have to dance with the gods.
“There must be some way out of here, said the joker to the thief.
There’s too much confusion. I can’t get no relief. “
\(Bob Dylan, All Along the Watchtower 1968)
July reaches a high pitch when the Full Moon in Aquarius arrives on July 25/26
(depending on the location) and the Sun has moved into Leo. On the 26th Saturn
and Uranus make their fifth and last opposition. Saturn has moved into Libra and
it opposes Uranus in Aries. This is the energy pattern that astrologers have been
addressing since 2008. Remember in the mid 60’s this pattern also occurred and
it initiated great social change in our country. Now we are reaping the result of those
changes. There are people who want to eliminate many of the changes that have
taken place since the 60’s and 70’s. There are people who want to move beyond
where we are! On the one hand there is hope for new way of resolving our big problems.
‘Uranus in Aries gives us new energy. There is a chance for optimism and invention.
Saturn in Libra encourages cooperation. But there is also tension. The Planet Mars
joins Saturn and they face off across the heavens with Uranus and Jupiter. This is
very volatile energy. Mars is the War God and the action hero. Mars has courage
but he has a short fuse. Will Aries be progressive or reactionary? Will an angry
Mars maverick make an impulsive, tragic move? There could be an uprising.
There could be disruptive, damaging weather events. Furthermore, the planet
Pluto still sits in the middle, looking crossways at Saturn and Uranus. Since
Pluto rules wealth we have to wonder if our economic system will hold steady
or teeter on the brink. Stepping out of the comfort zone and making good changes
is not easy. If it is hard for us individually, then imagine how hard it is for us
collectively. Change is hard because we regress into fear. We forget we
have opportunities to be alive and creative. Too often we collapse
into fear and discouragement.
The intense energy overload during June, July and August demands we stay focused,
grounded and heart centered. In short we have to stay connected with who we know
we are. What else can we do if we are to sift through conflicting information and the
excessive emotional pitch in the atmosphere? We are each a microcosm of the
Big Enchilada and change begins in the cell of each microcosm.
Bob Dylan wrote: “so let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.”
(All Along the Watchtower 1968).
Perhaps we can begin by not talking falsely to ourselves.
Maybe the way out is actually the way in?
