In the words of George Harrison

Here comes the sun (doo doo doo doo)
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right

Little darling, it’s been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right

This is how I feel when the Sun travels to the sign of Leo.  It is as if we get to awaken from whatever emotional morass we have been in with the Sun in the sign of Cancer.  Don’t get me wrong!  I love Cancers.  Emotional and moody and feisty and loving all at the same time.  

Respite is on the way.  It’s okay to get excited, fired up and creative.  Even within all of the pain and suffering we know exists in the world.  Why not paint a pretty picture in your head and see all the beauty that surrounds us.  When we look at nature we have to admit there is creativity everywhere.  The early artists painted nature in a myriad of ways as that is where they saw beauty.  It’s still there!  At least for now.    

These last few months until the end of the year are ripe for creating a new reality with important planets still moving through fire and air signs.  With Jupiter in Libra and Saturn in Sagittarius and Uranus in Aries; find your passion.  Use the air and fire signs to lift yourself up.  

Uranus in Aries wants us to be like children where life is exciting and innocent.  Do your best to say goodbye to those emotions, thoughts or even words spoken to you by others that you are still carrying around from the past where you find pain and suffering following you like little children wanting attention.  Every day is a new day.  An opportunity to create your emotional response as well as set goals that match your desires.  

Jupiter in Libra wants peace and harmony.  Saturn in Sagittarius wants life to reflect more of the positive. I adore the words JOY and PEACE and LOVE even if, for some, they sound like cliches.  It is a struggle to make these words fit into our vocabulary in a very real way.  I know, I know. This is not the 60’s anymore and Dorothy is not in Kansas.  Well maybe Dorothy went somewhere more fun than Kansas and found the real wizard. And the energy from the 60’s is still available.  Maybe I’m just a hippie girl who enjoys the roses in my garden and the fresh tomatoes I am picking while I listen to George Harrison singing “Here Comes the Sun”.   

When the new year 2018 begins life will get heavier and denser with several of the transiting planets that “run things” moving to earth and water signs.  It is critical to get ready now.  Put your life in order for hunkering down.  A more serious attitude is going to be necessary with Jupiter moving to Scorpio and Saturn moving to Capricorn and Uranus moving to Taurus.

My yearly lecture/luncheon in January will address all of the many changes we will experience universally and personally.  I will also be offering specials on Future Trends Forecasts.  Email me if you are interested in more information.  For now enjoy the ride.  The sun shines bright throughout the month of August.  It is at its peak in the sign of Leo.

I wish for you a Lion/Lioness roar that can be heard far and wide!  Call me, email me or send me a telepathic message.  I am here to inspire, support, guide, recommend and help release you from the chains that bind you.  Astrology is a powerful tool that reveals so much of who you are.  This is where the magic is!
