Cancer New Moon:
Family Ties
by Simone Butler
Why does a specific animal–or that certain person–instantly feel like family? Cancer rules family connections. And, with the Sun and Venus traveling through that nurturing sign during the first half of July, all of our hearts are more open than usual. READ IT

Honoring Earth’s Ancestral Energies
by Pythia Peay
Contemplate the mystery of your physical incarnation on this particular planet in the universe. Just as you traced your family heritage, so, too, unearth your spiritual inheritance…As the Sufi teacher Pir Vilayat asks, “Can you remember your face before you were born?” READ IT

Election Astrology
One of the most interesting things about astrology is that it can be used as a tool to predict all kinds of events, based on the planetary energies, even election outcomes. (Ronald Reagan was quite serious about astrology, if you can recall that flap, even though it was downplayed in the media.) Since I’ve only got a rudimentary sense of how to ‘read’ the signs, I go to the experts.
One fantastic blog I’d recommend is Jude Cowell’s Stars Over Washington. Her June 28th post, The crystal ball of Underdog McCain, is most enlightening. She beats John McCain up pretty well, which I enjoyed, but if you’re a McCain supporter, don’t read it. (Then again, why are you reading THIS? *Cheek*)
Other astrologers are predicting high weirdness surrounding this year’s elections.
SEE: The Cosmically Stressed Election of 2008 by Barry C. Orr
In 2008, astrologers are again energetically analyzing the astrological charts of the presumptive candidates, John McCain and Barack Obama. A big impediment has been the lack of reliable birth times for all of the candidates, but there is a bigger problem. This year, something doesn’t seem right. No one feels good about the astrological conditions on election day, nor the conditions on inauguration day. There is a shadow looming over the charts. READ IT
Orr highlights an emerging popular consensus that there are three possible outcomes: 1) suspended elections 2) sudden candidacy changes or 3) grand scale election fraud.
Personally, I already think #1 might happen. I’m not sure about #2, and pray not! As for #3, on some level, it’s a given, which is truly heartbreaking as we Americans are poised to celebrate our country’s birthday. This truly seems to be ‘the worst of times’, to employ a well-worn Dickensian phrase. How ‘worst’? View clips.

Travel Advisory, by Scott Horton (Brilliant, this had to be said!)
Well, friends, I leave you with a beloved Woody Guthrie song. It’s my personal ‘national anthem’ and means more to me than the one we stand and salute the flag to. Tears stream down every time I hear it. I’ve included the lyrics below the screen, so, stand up, be proud, and sing it loud. When you get to that last verse, remember the hungry, tired, and poor of America, then think hard on what you can do for them.
A blessed 4th of July to you and yours!

Woody Guthrie - THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
Chorus:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I’ve roamed and rambled and I’ve followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining and I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
As I was walkin’ - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin’
But on the other side …. it didn’t say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!
In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin’ and some are wonderin’
If this land’s still made for you and me.
Chorus (2x)
