I’m writing this for everyone who is interested in being in astrological alignment and i have to be fast because my dogs and cats are anxiously waiting for breakfast….
Today is Mars trine Pluto in the last degree of Leo and Sagittarius. This can give you lots of energy. You can get energy from your own personal power. And if you feel that is blocked, you can take it from others by being overly dramatic, which can result in long-lasting feuds and resentments.
It is also the end of Mercury retrograde period as Mercury emerges from the Retrograde shadow on July 4. Mercury is in its own sign of Gemini. This can produce additional errors in clerical and data entry work. Just when you thought Mercury Rx was OVER, the emergence from the shadow can create all kinds of errors, making this an important time to double check everything!
Mercury’s approaching emergence — combined with today’s Mars-Pluto — can not only create little errors (that can be corrected but take double the time), it can make you blame others for the errors you make! And that starts a cycle of hurt, resentment, and generally negative sending of thoughts. If you made an error, stand up for it! You made it. Not a big deal– unless you start blaming others for the mistake you made.
And that CAN start a cycle of negativity that will continue past Mercury Retrograde and into …..
Blaming others for your errors not only makes them feel bad. It greatly diminishes your own power. And you can blame that mistake-maker for that as well, which will take more of your power away, and on it goes. More blame, does nothing, no satisfaction, more blame, does nothing, send more negative thoughts out into the universe, comes back on you, you blame “that person”, ….
So stand up for your errors. Correct them. And get on with it!
This a Mars-Pluto TRINE, making it extra easy to release negativity.
In all this time, you could have made the correction and moved on with your day. Twice! !
Love&Light,
Lauren
Today is Me First Day! Or, the day you reclaimed your personal power.
As the Moon moves through Aries today, June 27, it will trine Mars and then Pluto in the evening (EDT), creating a Grand FIRE Trine. The effect is mostly for one day, but the Moon heats up the upcoming Mars-Pluto trine (exact on Monday, June 30). Moon, Mars, and Pluto are all in Fire signs, making exact trines (120 degrees apart). Even the temperature is rising and expected to continue.
This is a time you may feel more active, alive, and willing to take bigger risks. Feeling motivated by your passion, you may be take a risk and give something up– to get what you really want. And by taking a leap of faith, you can release negative energy that has been brewing and limiting your energy and regain your natural vitality.
You can reclaim your power.
Because our inner child is awakened by a Grand Fire Trine, it is also a time we can take without giving a thought to what we’re taking, expecting that everything should be done for us because we deserve it. If people don’t tell you directly what they need, you may overlook them entirely. This can set off the more difficult side of the Mars-Pluto contact, increasing anger and resentment. Instead of focusing only on yourself and obsessing on your own strengths or dilemmas, how can you use your inner child to lead others, be more creative, share you passion, actually live your bliss?
This is an unleashing of creative power.
If you are trying to control the actions of others, you may seem to succeed momentarily. But that can lower your energy. If you are looking to others supply you with power, you are overlooking your own direct connection to your own source of power and creativity. And waiting for others to take the lead. And when others don’t or can’t comply, that can quickly feel frustrating. Yet this week’s aspects remind us that we hold the reigns to our own source of power.
Stay cool and
Have a fabulous weekend!
Love&Abundance,
Lauren

Here are 3 tips for using the July Astrology Calendar:
1- read the symbols using artcharts LEGEND
2- days in RED are for physical energy, days in GREEN are for mental energy.
3- get this Astrology Calendar personalized for you @ artcharts.com.
From the week’s calendar, it doesn’t seem like a big week astrologically.
There aren’t many aspects that perfected this week, although it started with a Sun-Saturn sextile, helping us to slow down and focus. If you need to put your attention on something complicated yet practical, this aspect can provide the support.
The Last Quarter Moon (which i saw at 2 am, very golden and sinking low in the sky!) starts bringing the month’s lunar energy to a close. What you have achieved needs to be recirculated to others so the circle of energy continues. This is the time to start thinking about what you’ve grown and what you want to plant next, both figuratively and literally.
Uranus is making a Retrograde station on Thursday, June 26. What may have seemed like assurance of instant progress may get put on hold for awhile longer. Instead of seeing a delay in publicity as a bad thing, perhaps it’s a chance to make sure you are promoting the right thing, showing your talents in the best light, contacting the right groups. More research may turn up astonishing results. Be prepared to be stunned by higher vibration information and healing you might may glossed over.
But the high-priority aspect of the week is a sesquisquare of Jupiter to Saturn. These are the 2 planets that govern the workings of society, giving us both hope and rules. At this aspect of manifestation, we are trying to balance our personal goals with our responsibilities and obligations. The rules, as you’ve always followed them, may seem especially limiting and off-course. There may be something else you need to be doing for your future success, yet you already have an obligation.
Your obligations may be from the past, but they also represent your own need for safety and security. If this has become a burden, you may be realizing how you have restricted your own growth through your beliefs. Why shouldn’t things work out? Try to think of what blocks you have put in your path to greater success and abundance. As Jupiter is also in a supportive aspect to Uranus, this is a time you can break through old beliefs that have prevented you from accessing your intuition and experiencing life spontaneously. This is a time you can recognize and release old judgments and criticisms that keep you locked just where you are. If you want to move beyond whatever feels blocked, you can do it with your own willingness to grow, experience, and develop.
Jupiter, currently Retrograde, will sesquisquare Saturn again on January 30, 2009.

Happy Solstice!
Summer is when we remember the power of the Sun. The Sun represent LIFE on Earth. Without the Sun, there would be no life as we know it. At this Solstice point, when there is so much power and light, you can feel your inner KNOWING. Close your eyes and ask yourself, what do I really want, what do I really want to do? This will send the power of your intention up through you and out into the Universe. And you will start to move forward with the help of the Sun.
You can start making your dreams come true as you become aware of the power of acknowledging certain times of the year, like Summer Solstice. You don’t have to go to a wiccan circle to feel the benefits, even drinking a glass of water around Solstice time or before bed will help you consciously set your intentions and allow your wishes to come true.
So let’s set an intention, or send out a prayer, for this Summer to help us move naturally towards our dreams. Give us enriching experiences that help us live, love, and prosper.

Mercury made its Direct station this morning, giving us the green light to proceed!
When a planet stations, especially one as quick, intelligent, and flighty as Mercury, our minds can feel like they’re spinning as we try to get up to speed. Mercury is just Direct, but stationing, not really moving forward just yet. We are still processing information and not even ready for more just yet!
So if you still find yourself having to re-do clerical work, slow down and double check. You may find yourself repeating yourself. Over the next few days, as Mercury starts to inch forward and makes a semisquare to Vesta in Aries, little mistakes can throw you off center. Details can be illusive and irritating. Especially if you push too hard too fast to get back up to speed.
Concentration can be a challenge, but doing it can help you easily figure out things that seemed complicated or impossible.
This is the chart for the Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 18, 2008.
And here’s a link to a LEGEND so you can read the symbols. It’s easy!
99.997% of my viewers have decided: this must be free. Sadly, that is not an option. I am just not in the position to offer all my time every day without any pay. AND, even if you don’t value my time, or think I could still use a few more years doing this work (it’s only been 12), this costs me to produce! Oh, i know, the blog is free, but not the Newsletter, website, or secure shopping cart. So since the mass consensus is this must be free, that means it needs to undergo a major overhaul.
Here’s the default plan many of us use– suggest that people feel worthless so they won’t dare ask for anything and will keep up the “good work”, even though it’s been years. If you want student work, there are plenty of students and young people out there who will be thrilled to practice their craft. As Sun and Venus oppose Pluto and the Moon on the Full Moon— how do you judge value and what are the real costs of your judgments? The darkness that seems normal, the depression, the hurt and anger, the feeling of needing to seek revenge, the things you do and long-lasting decisions you make because you momentarily hate yourself and others. This is all coming up for review now. We all need to get past this. And this is a FULL MOON IN SAGITTARIUS conjunct Pluto. It’s time to encourage each other. If you want to be among the public, encourage others and quit looking for the dirt that you can use to smear, even listening for it is damaging your soul and lowering vibes faster than you can imagine. Turn it off! Return to sender! Meditate, appreciate, slow it down, get clear. Why?
Read the Newsletter..
When we hear Mercury Retrograde, all we can think is how many things don’t work, all the possible setbacks. It’s true. Paperwork can be confusing, complicated clerical work may have to be done twice. During this Mercury Retrograde, people made errors entering their birth info, resulting in me having to redo some of the few orders I received, and of course at times I was busy elsewhere:-) Yet, my clients were served quickly and on weekends. Mistakes happen! Also, trying to transfer domain names (to get a better rate) has been a lesson in how registration works. I could see it as a huge hassle, or I could see it as a learning experience. During Mercury Retrograde in its own sign of Gemini, we can learn new information that will benefit us in the future, even if it means taking a step backwards for now. Stress is all in your perception of an event. Is it a traffic jam or an opportunity to listen to that new CD. Mercury Rx in Gemini is an opportunity to learn how to de-stress. One deep breath can work wonders at times.

ps. the future of the Newsletter and artcharts website is uncertain… it is not meeting costs. there is no calendar on artcharts homepage this week because there is no support for it. we have asked and it is not happening. we understand. we are also over limit on the newsletter and have asked those who are no longer interested to unsubscribe. no one has. and the list continues to grow. that’s great, yet we cannot afford to go to the next level at this time. there is much to discuss, and while perhaps it “should” be free, that is no longer an option. thanks again, we appreciate your understanding:-) effective marketing is a full time job and i tend to spend more time writing than thinking how to sell it. definitely not much of a business strategy in a time when a good plan is crucial.
This is the chart for the First Quarter Moon on June 10, 2008 @ 11:04 am edt. Here’s a link to read the symbols. It’s easy!
Why are Quarter Moons so important in astrology?
Because Quarter Moons occur when the Sun and Moon are 90 degrees apart, or square. This aspect brings whatever has just started at the New Moon (June 3) and makes it prominent, brings it to our immediate attention. What happens in one area of your life also happens in another. So if your family situation is currently problematic, you may also be experiencing problems in your career pursuits.
And the situation can be escalated by the square to Uranus in the Tropical chart and Mars in the Heliocentric (and the reason for this heatwave!) There is a high-pressure T-Square to the Sun. This turns up the pressure on each person to socially network to create change. Use your intuition. How can you connect people to ideas and information they may have missed. The Moon in the Quarter Moon chart is in Virgo, which is ruled by Mercury. Planet Mercury is Retrograde and just past a conjunction with the Sun and Venus. Think again. How can you effectively socialize and participate? What details have you overlooked or gotten stuck in — either way can throw your judgment off.
But just because you’re socializing more doesn’t mean you’re going to like everyone you meet. And someone may be very negative about something important in your life, or seem to purposely dash your hopes and dreams. The strong influence of Mercury at the First Quarter Moon suggests the importance of remaining neutral. Try not to get attached to ego struggles for supremacy. If you react in a way that is not diplomatic, you can be setting yourself up as a target for a power struggle.
Virgo also rules digestion. The First Quarter Moon is trine Jupiter and the Sun is inconjunct (quincunx, or 150 degrees) Jupiter. It’s easy to be excessive, even the heat is excessive, and this may cause you to spend more than you intended or indulge in more luxuries than you can really afford, just because you’re absolutely sure something great will happen soon.
What can YOU do to make a relationship more authentic and heartfelt? Instead of assessing and judging how much others do for you, when is the last time you expressed YOUR feelings to another person, just to make them feel good?
If you can remain neutral to what you see, you can look calmly at what you notice in a day. What attracts you? Why? What and who upsets you? Why? Just observe without judging and you may start to access information that can be very helpful. And certainly better than (unconsciously) taking out our upsets on others.
