Mercury, the Sun, Venus and Saturn now align in Cancer, calling our attention to our responsibility for manifesting the forms in our lives. With Saturn in Cancer situations will arise causing us to reflect upon our inner world and the underlying attitudes that shape our responses to the outer world.

This month is a time of anchoring values and creative possibilities for the future, to support new outcomes, personally and collectively. With Uranus conjuncting Mars in Pisces, the unexpected will upset our daily rhythms. This plays an important role in clearing out the nonessential, helping us to perceive what is at the heart of life. These perceptions will build a bridge to new forms in our society and our personal lives.

With Jupiter trining Pluto, truths of the world situation will emerge. This trine supports each of us to transform through alignment with higher understanding. Yet the time is incredibly unstable due to the volatile breaking apart of forms and our resistance to change. It means allowing instability without hurrying to fill the void, so that a deeper resonance may be felt that mirrors the interconnectedness of all humanity.

July is the time for putting things in order for new beginnings. Unexpected sudden changes can be utilized as cracks in our world to illuminate deeper truths. When Mars goes retrograde on July 29th don't push forward. Rather review what has been set in motion and complete tasks as we prepare for the next phase of development.

Developments in Iraq and the world will illustrate the unfolding karmic situation for Pres. Bush and the USA, into the fall. The level of the administration's integrity will be revealed during this time. As Bush's Mars is being opposed by transiting Mars he will experience opposition from others.
