COSMIC WAVES FORECAST AUGUST 17^TH TO 23^RD 2018

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

Some things shift this week. One is the Sun goes into sidereal Leo bringing some important advantages. It will be paring up with Saturn and Uranus in a Grand Trine that covers all the fire signs. This will give some powerful forces forward to settle agreements and set rules. Even though Mars is still Retrograde this week, this Grand Trine will jerk us along a bumpy path. I get the image of shock treatments to the laggards of the new wave forward. It will continue until early September.

A heady mix of passions and obsessions create distractions to the real work at hand. Saturn in Sagittarius is one of the players in this Grand Trine. While it is still affected by the star Lesath or Acumen, (otherwise known as the tail if the scorpion), we are all called to create something of a cure for what has been a curse. Uranus is also going to continue to provide the catalyst of uncertainty and chaos over our choices and outcomes during this heady time.

The exact trine between Jupiter (it has been direct for a while now) and Neptune in Retrograde bring movement towards what is good for the whole, but with a lasting negative influence of Chiron to Jupiter, which means the individual may be asked to make some adjustments. Our basic nature is to please ourselves and avoid pain. But sometimes in as populace a world we live in there are adjustments that benefit the whole and chafe some who don’t look at the big picture. We all need to be looking at the big picture in the near future.

For those who are influenced by the little Hermes in retrograde, he will be shifting forward starting on the 19^th and will be in full forward movement by the end of the week. Mercury is still in sidereal Cancer so be aware that emotional rollercoasters are equal opportunity while it lingers in Cancer until September 2^nd.

For those wondering when the pain will be over, well that isn’t going to ever happen. But for some relief in the near future, just about everything will be out of retrograde by January 9^th, 2019. Uranus will stay in retrograde for yet another year, so learn to avoid self-sabotage and be proactive with each situation that comes up during that year. The internal battles will be lessened for those who dealt with what they could during this summer and through the fall.

What I call a lesser Grand Square will be affecting us all the rest of this month. I say that because it is an aspect with the Ascendant rather than four stellar objects.  The worst part of the day is mid-day. My advice is to be engaged in what you need to be by that time and the “boxing in” of the Grand Square will just keep you engrossed with your duty or project. A lot can be done if you plan big projects to go through lunch. If you aren’t engaged in what you need to be by then, you may be floundering the rest of the day because you are outside of that focus of energy.

Friday, August 17^th, the Moon is aspecting Jupiter in Libra today. Could be a time for legal standings that affect all of us. With Chiron the wounded healer irritating the Jupiter/Moon conjunction, what happens will require us all to think less of ourselves and more about what ails us a country or citizens on this small lovely rock in the cosmos. Process the situation over the weekend. Moon in Libra.

Saturday, August 18^th, the Grand Trine in Fire starts today. As an extra bonus there is a short termed Grand trine in Water also. One of my earlier lessons in understanding the energies of the zodiac involved considering the alchemy involved. Really not as difficult as you might think, so just consider what happens when fire and water get together. To me that sounds like steam! You have a choice today to use that energy to boiling water and making pasta or get scalded, such as burns due to a boiling pot. How you handle seeming everyday things will make a big different. Moon in Scorpio.

Sunday, August 19^th, for those who have been waiting, Mercury is station today. There is something just under the surface waiting to be said, but will take another day before it gets out in clarity. Lots of good things can be finished up today, so go where the action is and don’t worry to much about messaging. This is also a good day for romance so work with your partners and add to the bond. Keep up with things you have promised to do. It will count to be reliable. Moon in Scorpio.

Monday, August 20^th, some messaging that has been held up will bring solace to those who need a sense of healing. It could be good news with some sort of test or a piece of your future coming into focus. With all the difficulties around, your focus on what you can do is more important than ever. Moon in Sagittarius.

Tuesday, August 21^st, the moon will be aspecting Saturn in Sagittarius today. Things that need to get grounded into reality are coming into focus. This is part of the Grand Trine in fire, so expect to stay on your toes as you navigate your part of the puzzle. There are no small parts in life today, make your contribution the best you can with what you have. No more is expected. Moon in Sagittarius.

Wednesday, August 22^nd, the Moon will be aspecting Pluto in Sagittarius today. There is a great deal to get you towards your goal if you are on the right path. If you meet too much resistance, question yourself as to motivations and values. They mean everything right now! Benefits go to those who are riding the right wave of honor and some adventure too. Moon in Sagittarius until evening when it goes into Capricorn.

Thursday, August 23^rd the Moon aspecting Mars in Retrograde in Capricorn. This is well aspected helping you work efficiently. Also, a great time to do extra book keeping or organization of what you have, including finances. For those who have finances to juggle, this is a great time to meet or contact your broker or accountant about how to pull together finances and assets for this year and prep for the next. Moon in Capricorn.

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST AUGUST 10^TH TO 16^TH 2018

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

If you haven’t been feeling it yet, you will this week. The main focus will be emotional baggage. All the trigger points will be pressed as you try to do your routine. Definitely a time to take time to think through things and put past concerns in their place. If you can do that, you will break a cycle of hurt and pain that has festered maybe more than just your generation. By the end of this week, a double Grand Square will leave you in a circle of thought. If you do your questioning and releases before hand that stress will be much easier. Thursday will be an excellent day to do something ceremoniously that lightens your psychic load.

August 12^th will be a great time for those in close relationships. An understanding about expectations can create a great deal of relief and ease for the future. Venus is in sidereal Virgo, so practical applications go the farthest. Keep it real. If you have any emotional issues that need to be aired, first consider how you developed them. This is an opportunity to view yourself and your mate in a realistic light, not something conditioning from family or others who impacted you negatively. Separate what is yours vs what is someone else’s issues inflicted on you. Make this work rather than let things fall apart.

Friday, August 10^th, while some of the restrictions or challenges have abated, tension and obsession has just amped up. Use this constructively as if you can pull together some internal fortitude and then a great deal will work out. The key here is to put action to desires. Keep it simple with your personal spiritual practice and mental hygiene. Talk to someone if need be! We are not islands! Moon in Cancer.

Saturday, August 11^th, the swings of brooding and emotional outbursts are around another day. Know that communication has been difficult because finding the right questions has been elusive. Let alone the right answers. Mercury Retrograde has been at its worst, but some things will clear up by this evening. People who have been co-creators will know their tribe is close. If you are abandoned, maybe you need to look into why. Remember that when you abuse chances, people get tired of dealing with you. This goes for the big picture and our own little circle. Moon in Cancer until evening when it goes into Leo.

Sunday, August 12^th, while it may not be long term or for the best, there is some interesting surprises instore for many today. Through your own hard work, you will find a bit of security that is like the sun coming out after a long rainy spell. Love and relationships can shine right now, but only if you keep it practical and caring. Moon in Leo.

Monday, August 13^th, what is important today is to stick with your revelations and work to transform from chrysalis to butterfly. Only your personal efforts will bring the most return. There is a lot in the bigger world that is working out the muck in the system. None of us truly knows the extent of this mess, but bit by bit the humanity of it all is being revealed. Moon in Leo.

Tuesday, August 14^th, woe to those who don’t keep the agreements made over the weekend. Be sure that someone is counting off infractions as they occur. This will run the gamut of tough love to you are blowing it again. If you are a serial back tracker, don’t expect any favors today. Moon in Virgo.

Wednesday, August 15^th, there could be some interesting legal decisions today. These relate to bigger issues of what affects all of us and our social contract. Yes, there is such a thing! To reap the benefits of buffers against chaos we have to agree to do certain things. Breaking that agreement weakens you and everyone around you. So, keep up with how things are progressing. It does matter today. Moon in Virgo.

Thursday, August 16^th, that double Grand Square is today (code for getting boxed into the present situation). It affects just about all the planets and orbs. What you have accomplished, or not, over the last few days will be squarely in your face today. Think of it as being stuck until you get it right. Now if you have been letting go, making amends and getting it together, then you will just be putting the polish on the situation. If you are still trying to game the system… well it could get really ugly with the fingers pointing at you… justly. Moon in Libra.

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST AUGUST 3^RD TO 9^TH 2018

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

This week has its own set of challenges. The “hidden one” is a Grand Square (it aspects in mid-morning with the ascendant) that will hold up through August 13^th. With Libra on the ascendant part of the equation has to do with legalities and a balancing of power. While it does not stay in aspect all day, mornings will have a definite slump for many as they try to sort out the unsolvable. Things just don’t want to balance one way or another. Plus, there is an urgency and erratic jabs that are permeating everything for a while. The T Square with Uranus/Mars and the Draconian points adds urgency as things could be seen as a turning point meeting major resistance. This will continue until the first of October. Advice, is don’t do legal documents in the morning, and prioritize what you do so that the important stuff gets done.

Another aspect is with Venus. She is now in Virgo but opposite Chiron in Pisces. Remember the Wounded Healer who can’t heal them self? There is a positive aspect with Venus and Mars this week to help avoid a decent into the unfathomable. You will have to pull yourself up without much outside help.  To take the positive spin on this as a time for romantic partners to let go of the fun and frivolity of the last month of Venus in Leo and start to get together with the practicalities of life. If aspects of your life need adjusting, the answer is to turn towards what is sustainable for a while. Yes, being carefree is lots of fun, but if you spend too much time there, then you head into debt and drudgery. Those who can reign in their budget and responsibilities will feel much better about themselves as the fall arrives. Plenty of energy to get the responsibilities managed at this time too.

There is another partial solar eclipse next week on August 11^th. This will occur just before the sun rises in the Tulsa area so there will be no visibility. The New Moon happens this day also and both Sun and Moon will be in Cancer. Honor those who just want to hide out and stay safe. With the other things happening right now, it is best not to push otherwise outgoing people into uncomfortable situations. This could also be a time where those who are bad actors take a hard look at themselves and that mirror reflection is going to be harsh. For the rest of us, stay out of harm’s way.

Just a reminder that Uranus in Aries is still squared to Mars in Capricorn and all its difficulties. The two bode difficulties with cyber attacks (Uranus rules technology and Mars, well there is that war vibe) and difficulties with money. There is enough positive energy to help circumvent big problems with money and other assaults to help you out, if you are aware this is a vulnerable time.

With Mercury under retrograde and squares, messaging will be more disturbing than ever. Think of a cornered animal fighting harder than ever to get out of a mess. Neptune is still retrograde so lies and games are alive and well right now.

Friday, August 3^rd, the twinge of new erratic assaults on our emotional nature will be strong today. The Moon is conjunct Uranus in Aries. Karma is coming today for some people so just step aside and let her do her work. Life is all about lessons, and some people just take to long to make the adjustment. Moon in Aries.

Saturday, August 4^th, for some, the pressure of yesterday will feel more like Kali standing on your chest. For the rest of us, figure out how you will manage your budget and other debts with a changing climate. Err on the side of frugality because what seems far away from your life will eventually have an impact on you anyway. Just be proactive and get practical. Actually, a good day to sell some extra stuff if you want to simplify or simply get unused things out from underfoot. Moon in Aries.

Sunday, August 5^th, kudos to you if you can even get out of bed! Work with the earthy Grand Trine and don’t stray far from home. Keep it simple today and manage your stuff! The next week will need a rested and focused mindset to get through the maze of changes. I am a strong advocate of Feng Shui and the stroke of genius of that practice is everything in the house is useful, working and there is free movement throughout the house. Work on your personal projects at home and go into next week feeling like you were proactive and in control of yourself. Moon in Aries until afternoon when it goes into Taurus.

Monday, August 6^th, pulling from yesterday’s accomplishments, take that extra step and finish up any material exchanges you may need to do. Yesterday’s work was probably more than you anticipated but finishing up today has just a bit more go power. You are probably feeling more like your home is your nest, and it is looking better than ever. It never hurts to polish up what you have to recognize just how much you have! Moon in Taurus.

Tuesday, August 7^th, the Sun and Mercury are traveling in tandem for a while and they are exactly squared to Jupiter for the next several days. Watch out of personal mistakes in judgement and partial misunderstandings. Instead of stressing over someone being slow or seemingly wandering about, know that the over load of the bigger world slows our inner world to a snail’s pace. Time to pay attention to nuances and act like you could be next to be doddering about. Moon in Taurus.

Wednesday, August 8^th, the Moon will be squaring Venus and Chiron today. Too much information will be overloading even the brightest Air signs. Find your foundations or do your quick meditations to maintain your temper and perspective. Moon in Gemini.

Thursday, August 9^th, yesterday’s quandaries will be pulled into some sort of order today. Preserver with what you need to do and the evening will provide you some answers. Remember with the challenges of this summer, the big lesson is to honor what you have, pull those you love around you for community and know that eventually things will sort themselves out. If you do your part without making it worse for others, then the outcome has to be better. Moon in Gemini.

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST JULY 27^TH TO AUGUST 2^ND 2018

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

Are we having fun yet? With six planets in retrograde, I have to wonder how others are doing under this “siege”? There are a few channels of trines that can bring some flow in a world that is otherwise festering in the heat. Those trines are with Chiron in Pisces and the North Node/Sun in Cancer. Bringing healing to those who are looking towards the future in a way that is different than anything else in the past. Uranus in Aries is in an uneasy trine with Saturn in Sagittarius. That brings fodder for rebellion and shock and awe attention points. Actually, more like misleading stories when you consider Neptune in Retrograde. Jupiter in Libra is direct and bringing some good news, but it will be buried in a melee of other stories. Sorting all this out is hard for the impatient. We are definitely in a wait and see situation. Reach out when you need solace and community. This will blow over, but the outcome is what we decide it will be. Even if it seems like we have no control.

The backward moving Mars in Capricorn, will be aspected by the Moon Friday and Saturday, bringing deeper pressure on getting things right. I suspect that many will feel like all the cruelty in the world is directed at them, and it might be. Neptune in Retrograde hides an agenda that will eventually surface, but we already know what it is. Just can’t line up the cure.

Friday, July 27^th. This will be a pressure cooker day. To provide a glimmer of hope for something brighter, I remember seeing my Grandmother pressure canning green beans on summer mornings. Those tidbits were amazing later in the year. The pressure and heat killed out any nasties and left amazing flavor and nutrition. Back to today, brace yourself to disturbing news, shifts in plot, yes, we are being entertained in some perverse way, and gathering up strength to let this show unfold. The Solar eclipse is midday here in the states and Mercury has added its contrarian vibe to the other 5 planets in retrograde. Add the lunacy factor of a full moon and anything can happen.  Find your special place, and recharge over this weekend. Moon in Capricorn.

Saturday, July 28^th, so are we reviewing what is needing calcination or are we just sweltering in the heat? Make what you want out of the difficulties around you. The Draconian points have been highlighted to purge the past and push forward into a new world. Hopefully having learned from past mistakes. Just remember that there is push back on those mucking up our collective good will and prosperity. We do not suffer alone. Find what you need for self-improvement and stay cool, literally and psychically. Moon in Capricorn.

Sunday, July 29^th, today logic and emotions will have to dance a tango. The opposites are hard to harmonize when little else is stationary. Know that the indecisions of today will pass. Keep the high ground when possible but recognize when others are hurting. If you can help, do so. If not, get out of their way so you are not hurt. Moon in Aquarius.

Monday, July 30^th, more about what the future holds can be sorted out from the muck. Unfortunately, news or communications will not help much as they are mixed and variable. Not a time to make big decisions. Do what you have to, and no more. Moon in Aquarius.

Tuesday, July 31^st, there is a twist in the fiber of our consciousness. Be it what it may, there is little you will want to hold as true today. Remember there are hidden agendas and protective maneuvers happening with those of power and prestige. It is a delicate balance of where things need to be cut out. Expect to see a continuation of flashes of anger and hostility. Stay out of harms way. Moon in Aquarius.

Wednesday, August 1^st, from your own sense of perspective a glimpse of healing can occur today. Call it insight to the situation, a vision of epic proportions or just seeing things in a new light. There is plenty that is ugly and alarming, but a new sense of determination to make course corrections can set you free. Moon in Pisces.

Thursday, August 2^nd, a ray of sunshine for those who still love and need to hear some good news. There could be tears of joy and relief today. They will be short lived but could create some sort of turning point that gives hope. Everyone is really dealing with personal stuff right now, but there could be something on the bigger scale of events that helps you find a smile today. You should feel it as well as get to see it. Moon in Pisces.

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST JULY 20^TH TO 26^TH 2018

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

Probably not a good week to be playing games with romance. The sting of consequences will follow those who try to mask their aggression with smoke and mirrors. Not only will those people be drawn out into the light, but consequences will be in order. Those in the mundane world have it easiest as they simple can break off ties and move on with their lives. Those in the limelight may find their actions recorded for posterity. Those who are working for solid relationships will find their own set of events to negotiate but will also meet greater understanding.

Other aspects of debts coming due will continue to greet those who have not kept their affairs in order. Mars in Capricorn is still opposite the Sun and North Node in Cancer and all squaring Uranus in Aries. This is where a new day is dawning, but not in the same light as some may think it will. Harsh aspects will shine on those who are playing loose and irresponsibly with their lives. If you know someone like this be careful how close you are to them if they decide to implode from frustration.

So, if you are diligent in your actions and passions, opportunities will head your way. There is just enough interference that things may seem like they are falling apart, but in truth you are just about to launch into something different and productive. The key here is to centering practices will keep you present with the shifting sands of events right now. There is a lot that can be gained. The last of the Grand Trine in Fire ends over the weekend, bringing more need to parlay your energy in only the most constructive ways available. Keep up the pressure where you can because by next weekend, Mercury will be retrograde and you will want much done ahead of time.

Friday, July 20^th, this is a day where the tight rope walkers will find a path to the other side. This is the last day of the Grand Square also, so the restrictions will still be present a little longer. Romance gets a great boost for those wanting to create a warm nest with their favorite people. When you get down to it, that family cluster is always a primary reason for doing what we do in this crazy world to make a living. Moon in Libra.

Saturday, July 21^st, brings the last day of the Grand Trine in Fire. Some of the biggest challenges have been remedied, but strangeness is still out there causing  havoc. This is definitely a week to keep it honest, keep it real and let the chips fall where they may. Probably want to practice your mindfulness meditations from this day on, at least for the near future. Gather energy this weekend. Moon in Libra.

Sunday, July 22^nd, for today, the Moon creates a short term Grand trine in Water. Emotional responses and endings will abound. What is important to salvage from the day is that somethings are really transformations, not defeats. Just could be hard on those who are not willing to yield to a higher power. Moon in Scorpio.

Monday, July 23^rd, keep present in events around you and know who you can depend upon. The twists and snarls will start this week off so attention needed everywhere at all times. Struggle and contradiction of the day may well be a prediction of the rest of the week. it is all for the right reasons, so keep a steady course forward. Moon in Scorpio.

Tuesday, July 24^th, among the uncertainties rely on what anchors you. Your personal strength is even more important than usual. There is favor for those who preserver in the right frame of mind. Moon in Sagittarius.

Wednesday, July 25^th, another day were your personal values will be tested. Just remember that those who would sabotage you are also meeting resistance, if not more chaos. Emotional values are being tested this week and this day is no exception. Moon in Sagittarius.

Thursday, July 26^th, lucky us as the day starts off with Moon conjunct Pluto, the great transformer. The Sagittarius “feel” to this conjunction brings up needs to question values and fine tune what is acceptable. Mercury goes Station and not interacting with other bodies, bringing communications that struggle. Couple that with Neptune in Aquarius in opposition and Retrograde, illusion and hidden agendas will try to make a power play. Stay wary, particularly in the earlier part of the day. Comeuppance will follow shortly in a day or so. Moon in Sagittarius until late afternoon when it goes into “get your act together” Capricorn.

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST JULY 13^TH TO 19^TH 2018

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

For those getting ready to launch something, the time for mental puzzles is over as a Grand Trine in Fire gives you the gusto to get it done. Lucky breaks that you need to happen will abound. Just don’t look for all of them in the normal workings of life. This is a time that Uranus will be playing nice with its knack for synchronicities and absurdities bringing you hints and paths to your desires. Choose carefully. That Grand Square has taken leave of us too, bringing opportunities to work outside of the box. There is some tension in the unknown so be sure to work with reliable alliances to work out the difficulties.

By the 17^th of July, the Sun will move out of Sidereal Gemini and slide into watery Cancer. Ask yourself how well you work at home and how to find solace in the simple things. Stay tuned to your feelings as they will be important for reality checks. Your changes are best kept simple and sustainable. This will bring you the most benefit and healing during the early part of the month.

You should be feeling the affect of Jupiter going direct at this time. As with slow movers, it takes a few days for things to really get in motion. Great time for working on something important and the balancing act of determining what is right for you at this time. We are in a phase where only short-term goals will be met. Choose the correct ones for you so that the ground work is laid for the future. Right now, life is a big puzzle waiting to be pieced together.

Just a reminder that Mercury Retrograde will add to the other retrogrades around July 25^th.

Friday, July 13^th, the Moon is opposed to Mars today making intuition about what you need to do for yourself hard to actually get done. A better approach, if you don’t want to fight the fates, is to spend some time recharging, healing and getting geared up for your next move. Designing your next move with visualization and meditation might be more productive than fighting the odds. Work needs to be smarter not harder this weekend. Moon in Cancer.

Saturday, July 14^th, this is another day that is better looking inward for answers or insights. If we are quiet enough, it is amazing what is revealed. This day will be best cozying up with your loved ones and making plans together. Also, don’t trust everything you hear. Moon in Cancer.

Sunday, July 15^th, as the Moon transits Venus today, give in to the things that make you happy. Romance can flourish in a fun-loving way today. Don’t be surprised is someone offers their pledge of protection as well as leadership. Get your rest, as you will need to be fresh for the next week. Moon in Leo.

Monday, July 16^th, hit the ground running if you want to launch into that next goal. The difficulties are minimized right now so you will get a lot done. Should be a good day to heed your own counsel. Others may just not have all the facts today. Moon in Leo.

Tuesday, July 17^th, The Sun makes an auspicious entrance into Cancer today. Things revolving around the home and your intuition are highlighted. The T Square is still in force but that just bids you to know when you should get expert advice. Moon in Virgo.

Wednesday, July 18^th, while you may not have all the foundations in place, your sense of what the future holds and how you want to interact with it is working overtime. If it feels like you have momentum, go in that direction. If you meet resistance, reconsider and refer back to the weekends visualizations and determine if a course correction is needed or simply some patience. Moon in Virgo.

Thursday, July 19^th, you may feel the box closing in on you. For the next couple of days, use your skills from the last alignment and know where to build personal power. This is a time to get to work on making that endeavor take form. It can be hard to pull from the ethereal into the material, but this is a good day to do just that. Moon in Virgo but goes into Libra by mid-day.

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST JULY 6^TH TO 12^TH 2018

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

A number of events will happen this week. first of which is a double Grand Trine in Air and Fire. So, in regular terms that means that higher thinking and communications will have inspiration from the unexpected areas of life. (Sun, Jupiter and Neptune in Air signs) (Venus, Uranus and Pluto/Saturn in Fire). So this is how we view ourselves inside the collective mind. This will run from July 8^th through 16^th. With an opposition with Pluto, the old change master, calling us to do better but this might be a struggle to see through the smoke and mirrors of the past. Overall, in our everyday lives, a lot of good things can happen if you keep your center of gravity when faced with anything offensive. Be that stabilizing point!

The other aspect this week is another eclipse period. The evening of July 12^th is a partial solar eclipse. Obviously, it will not be seen here in the USA, but it is a harbinger of duplicity. If you are trying to sort out some sort of enigma, organize your facts in columns so you can decide later what it all means. Don’t make decisions now as a lot of information is being thrown out into the air waves. A lot of what is communicated will never get done. Be aware of that potential. That is when you ask for details of procedure. Most of the week, Mercury will be hindered expect for the 10^th. That has a simple triad happening. But the opposition to Mars (our ability to get stuff done) is still hindering life. This will be the course until the full moon and total lunar eclipse on July 27^th. But don’t expect much even then as Mercury will go Retrograde on July 25^th just to make the facts even harder to sort out. Could seem like the repressive aspects of life are getting the upper hand. Stay vigilant and question, question, question everything. Facts do matter. Now you could just bury your head for a while, or you could step back, observe things from a dispassionate position, and take a wider look at why things are as they are. You certainly will have enough random bits of info to consider.

As for romance, Venus will soon start its journey in Leo July 5^th. This is a time to keep love light and adventuresome. Also, a very good time for those who have been in their shells lately to come out and show some affection and appreciation. Dance this month when the opportunity arrives. A lot of what is happening is going on whether we are watching or not. Enjoy the warm evenings, catch a few fire flies and have some outdoor campfires. Hikes and trips to the woods are favored this phase of Venus in Leo.

Friday, July 6^th, is a good time for lovers to get to the heart of what is bubbling up into consciousness. Sensitivity towards those you love will be well received right now. That Grand Square has a couple more days to bind you into a situation, but the light-hearted shift of Venus into Leo will give all of us a lift. There are even indications that how you feel about your nemesis could find some clarity as compassion leads to more understanding. As the evening news opens, a new spectacle or flaming arrow of confusion may be headed your way. Take it in stride with the others. Moon in Pisces.

Saturday, July 7^th, I am going out on a limb here and say that a new sex scandal may fill the news. Depending on who it relates, it is just another voyage into the dark shadow of the human psyche which is getting coverage. Remember, with the Chiron retrograde, deep secrets come up into the conscious and test our resolve to deal with everything. If you can keep up, the end game is initiation into a higher state of consciousness… or something else to poke fun. Scandal or new source of ridicule is in today’s offerings. I am rooting for seeing someone’s vacation home video, if you get my drift. The Moon will be aspecting the old trickster Uranus in Aries today.

Sunday, July 8^th, with the things that seem to go wrong, it is a venue to transform into something rather spectacular. The double Grand Trine starts today with some detractors, just because nothing is all easy, but enough charm on the moving pieces that you can pull off something rather miraculous. Start the day out with a plan and go for it! Moon in Aries.

Monday, July 9^th, the big test of the day is things that are best left in the past will seem to stubbornly demand more attention. Concerted efforts will be necessary to make yourself move in the right direction. Probably means people did not catch enough sleep from a busy holiday and weekend. Do your due diligence and you will be rewarded with success. Moon in Taurus.

Tuesday, July 10^th, information and searches flow like water. Getting to the heart of the matter is easier when details come to the surface. Do as much research as you can stand to do today as difficulties most likely will return tomorrow. Overcome your anxiety about calling people and get things done faster. A lot is moving quickly and the diligent are rewarded! After today, try not to sign any documents until after the Mercury retrograde next month. because so much is coming out everyday now that you want a fully informed consent before you sign. Moon in Taurus.

Wednesday, July 11^th, some minor issues with annoyances a partner may exhibit. Keep it all in perspective and find a way to constructively deal with it. Still a good time to find out why because our ability to heal ourselves is limited for a while and another perspective can be very helpful. Reach out with concern and constructive criticism or critique. Lots going on right now, so stay rested. There is a good chance that sleep will be plagued with random thoughts and conflicts. Return to the healthy winding down routine before bed so you can ease into sleep. Moon in Gemini.

Thursday, July 12^th, stresses on constructive habit changes is paramount today. If it causes pain, deal with it, in a sane way. Avoid bad habits when you get stressed. Sleep will be plagued during this New Moon solar eclipse. Tulsa time has it about regular bedtime, so keep to your nightly healthy routine. You cannot afford to be battling monkey mind all night and still face a challenging and productive cycle happening right now. Moon in Gemini.

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST JUNE 29^TH TO JULY 5^TH 2018

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

The week starts out with the conjunction of the Moon/Mars in Capricorn opposing Mercury/ North Node in Cancer. The implications of this is a struggle over money verses how we really feel about personal issues and our homes. With the T Square apex on Uranus in Aries, there could be a new issue of significant importance. It can come out of anywhere. Also, technical issues will raise their ugly head. While I doubt that we will give up on tech and head back to a plowshare, there may be those wanting to do that very thing. Our conflict with how complicated things are and how fast things are moving can spin out of control. The saving grace is this week a Grand Trine in Air will give us the ability to process information. And we will work hard on what is going on. Air signs will be at an advantage for a few weeks, despite the challenges.

A Grand Square will continue to box us into a situation. Trying to look at the bright side, there will be significant focus on what is hindering progress or happiness. It is time to deal with the reality of it all and call for justice. Including abuses of power and exposing fakes.

I don’t know about you, but the heat has many at their wits end. Yes, climate change is real and anyone who says differently has a nefarious agenda. Call them out on it. What is causing all this turmoil? Money is at the crux of it, so start digging there.

Next week takes this week of “discussion” and turns towards action. Another Grand Trine in Fire will work with the continuing Grand Trine in Air. That means actions and words will take us forward in the jumble of challenges, games and subversions. Could be rather uplifting in a moment of the tide turning.

While this is a minor point in the heavens, Chiron, the wounded healer, will go retrograde this week. perhaps this is a teachable moment about this orb. As I said, it is the wounded healer who represents our deepest wound. He comes to us from the Greeks as someone who heals and teaches. But ironically can not heal himself. Depending on your deepest wound and its state of health, consider that in general others will be dealing with something significant and offer your insights. Although not everything can be healed if it has gone too far.

Friday, June 29^th, the afflicted Sagittarius Moon will create some pressure cooker moments for those who have avoided a change. Reason or expedience will only make the situation more uncomfortable. But here we are, facing our values and realities in a rather harsh light. Tomorrow will be a test of what actions were taken today. Be careful what you set in motion today. Most of us can’t afford to be too self-centered. The interesting thing is when you open up to the possibilities of expanded ideas and associations, then fumbling in the past seems like a waste of time.  Moon in Sagittarius.

Saturday, June 30^th, this is a day where the rubber meets the road. Either you have tread on those tires or you don’t. Taking my traveling images, know that if there is something to trip you up, it will. A tendency to skid out of control will plague those who don’t think things through.  Come ready for contingencies to be met with a plan B. The Moon is aspecting that opposition with Mars and the Draconian points. For the next couple of days conflict and hurt emotions could dominate.  What is meant to happen, does. Also, a day to test your patience and flexibility. There certainly could be some fantastic discoveries today because of the chaos has turned out all manner of things. Moon in Capricorn.

Sunday, July 1^st, as yesterday’s build up has set the stage for a power struggle, make sure you are not being a toad. If so, the light will shine very brightly on your warts. Interestingly enough it will be easier to see how things are turning towards healing and stability. Sometimes you just have to expose the dark side of things for change to happen. Unfortunately, this will be a day that someone will face their inner demons, maybe quite publicly. Moon in Capricorn.

Monday, July 2^nd, expect a bit of clarity about recent events. There will still be lots of time to work out an issue, but if you can settle it now, then everyone will be better off. As most of the next month will force focus on trouble spots. Taking a fresh perspective will make your week go smoothly. Moon in Aquarius.

Tuesday, July 3^rd, a new glimmer of light into the undercurrent of events. Exposures, confessions, accusations, will dot our mental landscape but it all adds an element to processing how others think and where you are in that group. All of this is for the best so try to take something positive out of it instead of being forever aggravated. But then some people thrive on being forever offended. Moon in Aquarius.

Wednesday, July 4^th, with this being our time to celebrate the birth of not only a nation but a social/political experiment. Through the suffering and wandering immigrants came here for another chance. The stagnant system behind them had serious ingrained damage. Today Chiron goes station, or starts to go retrograde, in its erratic orbit. There are things about our experience that need healing, but can the lesson be learned? What would it take to heal ourselves and how would we do that? Consider this as you observe the day. Maybe some inspiration will appear. Moon in Pisces by afternoon.

Thursday, July 5^th, do you find yourself delving into your deepest desires and disappointments? Go easy on yourself despite the rhetoric of individuality and independence. We are a product of our closest allies and associations. Try to sort through what was damaged and choose something to work on. It is worth a try especially if a path needs a fresh start. Moon in Pisces.

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST JUNE 22^ND TO 28^TH 2018

SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

Romance will continue to have some friction until later this week. Then the home fires should start to even out. This is about money, what constitutes routine or normal. With Mars in opposition to this aspect, watch all your actions because they are meaningful. Things can certainly get blown out of proportion, so be mindful of what is say.

I missed it last week, but Neptune went Retrograde last week. It is slow moving so this will last until November 26^th. Conscious people have been put through so much, but this retrograde means a second look at what motivates us. I also note Neptune’s Retrograde is after this year’s midterm elections. While I am passionate about consequences, just know that how we think together will be profoundly influenced this cycle. Perhaps it will be another permutation of our deepest insecurities facing the reality that fear was unnecessary. I am speaking of those who grovel at authoritarianism as a security that lets them be at the top of the heap. I hope by the end of this cycle there will be no heap, but a collective working together.

June 26^th Mars starts to slow down and go Retrograde. This will be gumming up the works of most processes until August 28^th. Interestingly enough it could also put the brakes on actions during this time. What is tricky about this is Mars will remain in aspect to the Dragon’s Tail all this time, before it starts it journey back though the opposition through the Dragon’s Tail until October 2^nd, 2018. So as the weather really starts to change so will this aggravating point. This may be known energetically as one of the hottest periods we have experienced in a long time. The Dragon’s Tail simply responds to old habits being more comfortable than moving in a karmically positive direction. Old ways will struggle to remain dominate over the needed fresh start into our next “social experiment”.

Just as a heads up on next week, June 30^th will have a very potent T Square with Moon/Mars, North Node/Mercury and Uranus… remember our old friend Uranus the trickster? I suspect some particularly difficult and shocking news will happen that day. Fortunately, there are a number of Trines to ease the pain so that everything does not fall apart. Just know that if you are signing a contract this day, don’t do it. With Mars in Capricorn, I have to wonder about financial markets as well. Don’t rule out cyber-attack.

A Grand Square through the 30^th will force examination of where you are right now. Some people will be quite cozy because they have developed or transformed in step with the times. Those who are still stuck in an old paradigm will take a fair amount of heat. These times are pivotal to advancing consciously.

So, after that gloom and doom you may understand why I focus more on daily consciousness creating the future, vs where it could spiral out of control.

Friday, June 22^nd, this day will be a mixed bag of things coming together then finding resistance. Midday and later afternoon prove that those who work through the difficulties will meet with success. The important focal point is the Grand Trine in Air bringing clarity and distillation from what is tumbling about. If you are one to find reorganization from chaos, you will benefit.  At the end of the day get ready to change gears for the weekend. Moon in Libra.

Saturday, June 23^rd, to focus on what is working, there are some powerful shifts in consciousness happening today. They are new ways of looking at a situation. A better view of what we can be proud of, and where that is going. Even if it seems more like shock and awe. The Grand Square is keeping things stationary, so why not work with the unseen, such as a new meditation practice. Moon in Libra.

Sunday, June 24^th, finds the Grand Trine in Air breaking up. So, our thinking may not be connecting all the dots. Seek deeper truths or simply find a way to recharge your energy. Working on your meditation practice or just finding some time to disconnect and wind down will make the most of your time today.  In stressful times all we have is the present moment. Moon in Libra until early evening when it goes into Scorpio.

Monday, June 25^th, continue your new practice for a few more days. Seek out where the incongruencies meet with what is happening. It can be beneficial to adapt to this unseen world if taken from a humanitarian perspective. A Grand Trine in Water leads opportunities for transformation, healing, empathy, understanding and forgiveness. These days, more of that perspective is needed. Moon in Scorpio.

Tuesday, June 26th, beware of getting into power struggles today. Do observe where those struggles are around you so you can find a path that breaks the bonds of dominance. We are being manipulated and it is not for our best interest. So who benefits?  One of the good aspects of the Neptune Retrograde is the games of fear or illusion can be understood if we look hard enough. Especially if we know that something is not right. Don’t take the easy explanation right now. Look for more truth. Moon in Scorpio.

Wednesday, June 27th, for better or worse there will be a lock down on our perception of truth.  Unfortunately, not all the information is not available… by design. All you can be sure of is there is one way to look at a situation, and what is important is how does it work out in the future. Moon in Sagittarius.

Thursday, June 28^th, a power struggle, a midheaven T Square, and a Magic Rectangle, create a moment in time where you have to really work to be heard. It is a challenge of honor and philosophy. There is no clear winner at this point in time. Good vs evil doesn’t always turn out well. We will know more by the 30^th. Just not a good time to get into contracts or negotiations. There will be winners and losers over the next few days. Sadly, the real power forward is consensus or agreement. Moon in Sagittarius.

COSMIC WAVES HOROSCOPE FORECAST JUNE 15TH TO 21ST 2018
SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY

This week starts out with the Sun entering Gemini. Every perspective and angle to a situation keeps many caught in thought without much being actually done. Always an exciting time on its own but there are other things that are just continuingly applying pressure for change and truth. The down side, other than the seemingly endless struggle is it may well be affecting your ability to cope. Watch out for unhealthy coping mechanisms this week.
Mars will be just passing an exact opposition to the North Node this week. The general theme of a transit is as it approaches the aspect, in this case an opposition, the key parts of a struggle line up. As it passes, the real issue is crystalized and then plays out when the movement pulls forward. Unfortunately, Mars will be shortly going retrograde bringing the attention to your present issues over and over again. Fortunately, Venus is just far enough away that personal relationship problems will be more manageable. That will pick back up in July when Venus rolls around to the North Node/Mars opposition. If you have handled your relationship problems, the test of how that will work out is up for review for a while. Stay engaged so that all parties know you are trying.
By the 18th be ready to launch something important but know that a window of a couple of days will then turn into dealing with what you actually got. It will be a test of perseverance to bring the project into fruition. Remember, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Friday, June 15th, amid the myriad of stressors, one glimmer of hope runs through the day. A Grand Trine in Air connecting our intuitive nature, big plans and opportunities and the general comraderies of like minded people helps you intellectually navigate this particularly difficult week. Call it fatigue, but the weekend never looked better. Moon in Gemini.

Saturday, June 16th, odds are you will leave home angry. Weird things are all around and you are just being too emotional with everything. Time to carefully speak and act if you want to preserve your closest relationships. Annoying habits will be noticed and words will be spoken. We all need to work on certain things, and this day will make it very clear what you presently need to work on. Moon in Cancer.

Sunday, June 17th, if you can think before you speak, reason will return. A Grand Trine in Air brings communications, self-driven opportunities and connection to the whole. Expect it to help you through this week. Illusion will be ever present, but you can sort through the veils to find clarity. Moon in Cancer.

Monday, June 18th, if you can muster self-motivation and leaning into life with some optimism, the double Grand Trine in Air and Fire will get you going on that new project of finishing up one that got dropped before it was done. In the evening take some time to make a few wishes that will bring opportunities your way. Moon in Leo.

Tuesday, June 19th, this morning, put your best foot forward as luck will grace those who have the most drive or best ideas. It fizzles by midday, but there is still a lot of potential later in the day. You just may need to make the final connections in person. Romance is likely to be challenged right now, but instead of lingering over that, do something invigorating. Sometimes things just get boring and you need to find something interesting to share. Moon in Leo.

Wednesday, June 20th, communication is still leading us down interesting venues. In the midst of a hot summer, it is good to channel that creativity. Think big, think twice and find your footing. At the same time a Grand Square with the Moon makes our emotional nature finicky, obsessive and overworked. What you have created up to now will get locked into place. Carefully sort what seems to be roadblocks into moments to make course corrections and perfections without burning out. Moon goes into Virgo by evening.

Thursday, June 21st, a ghost of the restrictions of yesterday will prevail for a while. It is because some of the creativity and gumption of the previous days has turned into details. Take a slower approach to your project so that it is refined during this period rather than debilitated with being nitpicky. Keep the mind rested for the restarts of the next few days. Even if you just want to go home and lick your wounds. Work through the difficulties. Moon in Virgo.

COSMIC WAVES HOROSCOPE FORECAST JUNE 8TH TO 14TH 2018
SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGY
The week the Sun will finish up it journey through Taurus. Most of that time will be spent squaring Neptune in Aquarius. I take this as meaning stubborn tendencies towards progressive or cultural shifts. What’s new there? Seems like that undercurrent has been prevalent forever. But this week that story will be even more noticeable. Consider those who aren’t instep with what we have learned from the past and fear the future? They will be making the most noise. Sort through what is whimpering and grandstanding and focus on why that ideology has been tested and now is failing. Learn from others this week. They are part of our own journey.

The Grand Trine in Air has dissolved and Venus spends her last days in Gemini. For those who need less ethereal faery kind and more seductive home cook, this week will unveil her in Venus’s journey into Cancer. Unfortunately, most of the week this transition will not be smooth with an opposition to Pluto in Sagittarius. The struggle will be real with conflicts of feminist visions and real home-based needs. Expect breakdowns, tears, over feeding and maybe a wonderful breakfast the next day with smiles. Living with the nitty gritty aspects of love and life can be easier in theory than in practice.

Mars in Capricorn will be moving past its exact opposition to the North Node of Dragon’s Head of our future. This also means the tail of the Dragon will be following Mars exactly. Expect some pivotal actions to happen this week. we will be picking up the pieces or sorting through the evidence for the rest of the month. Since the opposition basically works with home fires and finances and property, this could touch home to everyone. Hopefully you will have a manageable situation, like a home repair rather than something more significant. Unfortunately, things in the bigger world could set in motion harsh realities for all of us. Are we managing all we can? Act where you can even if you feel like you are just one candle in the dark.

With all the difficulties clicking into place, bear in mind your own self care is imperative. With out that you can not face the uncertainties. Keep your routine and enjoy what you have. Keep that one glimmer of positive feeling glowing. The world harmonics will need it!

Friday, June 8th, while general news will continue to sound more like excerpts from Alice in Wonderland. You can safely come home and ground with friends and family. Tune into higher aspirations of cohesive community and how you can help. Anything that is seething and festering will want to pop this week, so get out of the range of that mess. Keep antiseptic close at hand too there may be some bumps and abrasions! Moon in Pisces.

Saturday, June 9th, the Moon conjoins with Uranus today in a Grand Square. Expect chaos, surprises, fiery tempers and blowouts. Those who do this, will be wrapped into their own mess. Stay out of that circle! This will be a day where gravitating to what uplifts you, grounds you or otherwise maintains a level of stability. We have been in a long pattern of passing out of favor and opening the way for the qualified but untried methods. It will be rocky. Of course, if you are in a good spot, it all will just seem like an ever-unfolding drama of good vs. evil. Pay attention as games are afoot. Moon in Aries.

Sunday, June 10th, this is a day to review and develop your inner sanctum. Perhaps you are scheduled to clean the garage or the closets. Whatever will make the energy around you move smoothly. Remove any congestion. The Moon is Trine to Saturn in Sagittarius which is the only strong positive influence today. If you don’t have that point of peace and perspective, I suggest you look to those who do. Something can be learned from them. Be open to being taught. Moon in Aries.

Monday, June 11th, if you have managed to keep your head and heart open over the weekend, today will bring a marvelous connection with a new perspective and feeling. It may be as simple as walking into your yard and seeing a fascinating natural event. We take our blessings as they come and try to know that all change has its time line. If things changed too quickly, one way or the other there would be too much shock to the system. I get it, this is taking a long time to return to stability. The same dark specters of the past have reemerged through out time and we just have to let them die out. They did not work back then, they will not work in the future. Moon in Aries.

Tuesday, June 12th, actions and desires start to take form. It may only be for the short term but let this be a lesson in just being present at all times. Then there is no worry over past or future. You are doing your best so no regrets and probably a predictable outcome. In case you haven’t noticed, things are moving quickly in every direction. Catch the best and reform it into something marvelous. Moon in Taurus.

Wednesday, June 13th, today and tomorrow expect hard or critical news and crazy actions. Personally, I would just venture to work and back. This is a really harsh aspect especially for today. If the North Korea/ US summit actually occurs, it is anyone’s guess how this next day will work out. I suspect word plays will not translate well. Play it safe, go home and bond with those you love and know that something better must be in the works. Moon in Taurus until evening.

Thursday, June 14th, the details of yesterday playing out in full force. Certain things will be way out of proportion and instability will seem to be paramount. Clash of ideologies will be like the Fourth of July. Take a deep breath and just know if you have done all you can. Hold a light of hope. Moon in Gemini.
