July 2019 Astrolights

 We begin July with one of the most important eclipses of our lives and of our country. On the 2^ndwe have a solar eclipse in Cancer and on the 16^thwe have a lunar eclipse in Capricorn.

In its most materialistic meaning, Cancer rules home, real estate, food, and our personal roots. In a less obvious sense, Cancer rules tradition, family, and what and how we nurture what we value in our lives. In also a mundane sense, Capricorn rules authority, government and what we produce in the eyes of the world. In a more subtle meaning, it’s all about how and what we structure in our lives and the recognition of the patterns we create.

We are at a crossroads.

We can either allow ourselves to become obligated to be the providers for the world, or we can invest in our own growth without feeling the responsibility to give away what we have earned to those who have no idea of the cost of our earning what they demand of us. Feeling this responsibility is at the core of political correctness. The accusation of selfishness is the most dominant response we receive from our neighbors when we choose to provide for and protect our own family and lifestyle.    

As Mercury turns retrograde in Leo on the 7^thand then again enters Cancer on the 19^th, we will see the road we will have chosen as a result of these two eclipses. The retrograde will bring the usual disruptions in communication, but we will also have the opportunity to see clearly what we have done and where we are being led in terms of what we nurture and allow to happen. This is a Cancer country (born July 4^th).

These eclipses are not only pertinent to how we will live our personal lives but to how our country is being organized so that we are being coerced into making choices in favor of an unwanted obligation. Would you let strangers move into your home, eat your food, wear your clothes, sleep in your bed, take possession of what you’ve earned and worked for and change the way it’s run? I think not.

Why then have we been this allowed to happen in our country? The tradition we have preserved for over two hundred years is disintegrating before our eyes. We must decide what we will allow our leaders to make us obligated to do and choose how we want to nurture our family, home and country. Wake up America and feel the chains we’re being told we must wear because we‘re “moral” people.
