July 2007

 July's Astroweather

 with Guy Spiro

As July opens, we are still in the throes of the last peak of the Saturn opposed Neptune. This is the Grade A, number one prime energy for religious conservatism of any kind. There will be a desperation in attempts to whip up the various flocks to action. Watch especially the last week or so of the month as Mars gets involved and what got started earlier in the month comes to a head.

As the month progresses, however, Saturn will move away from the opposition to Neptune and toward a trine to Pluto. This is very good news as this is the energy that will eventually bring the end to this round of international lunacy that came to broad public attention on 9/11 of 2001. This energy will build through this month and peak the next. This is not the end, but it is a serious signal of the end. When it returns through the spring of next year, all but the most recalcitrant of belligerents will be facing the writing on the wall. The people of the world will have had enough, at least for this round.

Things will likely be much quieter later in the month. Cleanup from the past few months should be the dominant focus, although there may still be some holdout hostilities active. There may be no better time than now to enlist more people in large scale prayer and meditation for peace efforts. It’s likely that they’ve seen enough of the opposite.

On more personal levels, July will tend to be a more normal month than what we’ve had recently, at least for those not caught up in the above energies. Except that Mercury will be retrograde until the 9th and then take several days to get back up to speed. And then we have Venus turning retrograde on the 27th and backing up in our skies until September 8th.

Do be especially careful during the last week and especially the last few days of the month. Read ahead and plan for dealing with all the high energies. The most significant daytime Moon void of course periods are on the 1st, 14th and 24th. There are a few half day voids to work around as well.
