"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."

Last week's adjustments, capped off by last Friday's Aquarius Full Moon (7:36 PM PDT 1° Aquarius/Leo), have helped us establish a new level of detachment, which makes room for more practical approaches and decisive action this week. Mercury leaves cautious and circumspect Cancer on Tuesday for bold Leo. We gain increasing confidence in our intellectual capacity and feel more comfortable following independent self-direction. Complications may actually open doors instead of slowing us down. Our intuition is increasingly reliable as well. We have finally [...]

Mercury arrives in Cancer at the beginning of this week, opening the doors to processing our emotions with more productive approaches and more hope of healing emotional sensitivities. Mercury's trine to Jupiter expands the reach of our thinking — we can begin to see a bigger picture. Our sense of optimism encourages us — perhaps a bit too much — to expand our reach. The Venus-Mars conjunction and the Sun's trine to Neptune, mid-week, brings the optimism, creativity and expansion to a marvelous peak. We may feel as though destiny, fate, or Providence has smiled upon us at last. With awareness, we will begin to see the realignment of our relationships and [...]

There is an important unwinding process underway this week. The Moon is waning after last Thursday's Capricorn Full Moon (11:39 AM PDT 3° Capricorn/Cancer) and Mercury is traveling through the post-retrograde shadow.

Of course, we shouldn't discount the residual emotional confusion as we look for precise and rational bits of reliable intellectual information. The challenges of handling both the intellectual and emotional unwinding suggests that progress will be haphazard and uneven all week. We will still need plenty of patience as we step through the debris and confusion of Mercury's retrograde phase. And we should not forget that Mercury will still make one more exact square to Neptune on July 5th. There will continue to be some residual confusion to clear up until we [...]
