The theme for this month is
Home, Family, the Past & Emotions
Cancer's abode is not necessarily the place
in which
most
of the other Zodiac signs (especially the air signs) care to
dwell. Yet, during this most recent Mercury Retrograde in
Cancer, it is where we all found ourselves, whether we wished to
be there or not.
True to the nature of the Mercury
Retrograde, where we're prone to re-think, re-do, re-generate and
anything that begins with re-, I have decided to change the format
of my newsletter to that of an ezine. For some of you, the
newsletter was long enough. However, in these quickly changing
times there are so many major changes transpiring around the world
of which most of us would not otherwise be aware without little
newsletters and ezines such as SAS Astro-News Ezine.
As my first
order of business, I'd like to let you know about a schedule
change: I've also decided that the ezine will be released each
month on or just after the full moon for that month - except
during a Mercury Retrograde. I wanted to wait until after the
retrograde (and in this case, coincide the release with the New
Moon which is also in Cancer) for several reasons, not the least
of which is to make sure that you actually receive it!
J
So, what's going on this month?
Humanity Experiencing Major Shift in
Consciousness
Some claim, no? And yet that is exactly
what's happening at this point in human history. Whether it's the
revelation of the true meaning of the Mayan Calendar, the effects
of the Global Consciousness Project, the manifesting miracles of
The Secret/The Law of Attraction, the awareness of the need for
reparation of our environment or social structures through the
collective efforts of such individuals as Al Gore and Michael
Moore - there is no longer any doubt but that society is
undergoing a radical shift in consciousness. We're beginning to
see that there may just be a place for us in that Galactic Cosmos
out there. But are we ready for the Big Jump?
Regardless of what's occurring on a
planetary or individual basis, what's happening has caused each of
us to look within.
Such is the nature of Cancer and the Mercury
Retrograde. We're looking more at who we are as a society - as a
species - by reflecting on the past, especially as it pertains to
our home, family or anywhere where we may have left our hearts.
Enjoy!
Many Blessings,
~

Spotlight on Cancer
6/21 - 7/22
Cancer is the 4th
sign of the Zodiac, rules the 4th House of Home, Family,
the Past and Emotions, and is symbolized by the crab or the glyph
shown above. Cancer's ruling planet is the moon, which symbolizes
deep emotions. As expected, Cancers focus mainly on anything to do
with the home, the family and the past. They aren't always as
forthcoming about their emotional needs, however. Cancers can be
sentimental, gentle, unpredictable, worriers, complex, gruff,
generous, sympathetic, possessive, nostalgic, intuitive,
passive-aggressive, shrewd, perceptive, imaginative, miserly and
insecure. They
can sense if there's something not quite right in their sex life.
Even if there's nothing wrong. But don't tell them there's nothing
wrong. They're fixers. Even if there's nothing to fix. If you love
them, humor them, let them fix it. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
means nothing to Cancer.
Happy Birthday Cancer!

Pluto and the Galactic Center
This first article is about a year old, but
the information is yet timely since we're still experiencing the
effects of Pluto conjuncting the Galactic Center.
Pluto will
conjunct the Galactic Center this year for the first time in 248
years. The Galactic Center is the center around which a spiral
galaxy such as our own galaxy, the Milky Way, rotates, in the
center of which may be a "Black Hole. Although the conjunction is
not exact until December 28, Pluto has been within one degree of
this conjunction throughout 2006. Because of the rarity of this
event, it could have great significance and astrologers are widely
discussing its possible meaning.
Read More Here
There was
an active argument on a listserve last year about whether or not
eclipses have an effect on individuals. Some swear by eclipses and
for others, like me, they make no impression whatsoever. It appeared
to me from that discussion that the more lunar types with a Cancer
emphasis or prominent Moon were most likely to experience an eclipse
in their personal lives.
Those of us with planets at 25-30 degrees are most likely to
experience this dynamic because we are being affected by the transit
of Pluto over those points in any case. Pluto drives us relentlessly
towards transformation, creating endings and new beginnings in order
to align us more completely in our evolutionary journey. As it
concludes its travel through Sagittarius, it is working to clear
away the ideological debris in order to prepare for its entry into
Capricorn where it will begin the transformation of the structures
of government, wealth and mores.

Violence in the Natal and
Synastric Chart
Predicting Violence In Relationship:
Mars in Synastry
"We've all got violence in us given certain
conditions. We also have a civilized veneer that disguises it from
ourselves. So we need football, we need violent computer games and
films, it gives some sort of expression to it. None of us are
beings of light. We probably need the occasional war as well."
Elsa can be a
bit much with her descriptions occasionally, but she is
right as far as the astrology is concerned. I don't agree with
either Dharmaruci or Elsa that we probably need the occasional
wars as well. There are other ways to dissipate the anger rather
than aiming it at another individual. In fact, the last thing
this poor planet needs is another war. Instead, what we need are
some constructive, non-violent outlets for our anger. Got
any ideas? Let's hear them! Check out my article When Planets
Collide: Violence Indicators in the Natal and Synastric Chart
and tell me what you think works best. Your responses will
appear in the August issue of the Astro-News Ezine.

When Planets Collide: Violence Indicators in the Natal and
Synastric Chart
by Kat
Starwolf Have you ever wondered if there was a way to determine
whether you and another are prone to be violent towards each
other? Have you noticed some alarming traits in someone with whom
you've considered moving to the next relationship level? Have you
considered withdrawing from a relationship because your
Significant Other demonstrates signs which denote a Violence
Indicator, Power Struggle, Classic Schism, Battlefield or Fatal
Attraction connection? Noting the stressful placements of several
key planets will arm you with the information you need to either
facilitate the improvement of your current relationship, or steer
clear of potential danger.
Sometimes there's just no way we
can help the way we react to certain individuals who activate
us. Well, maybe we can control ourselves - if we choose
to. But oftentimes it's all we can do not to react. But
the fact is, there are some individuals to whom we are
instinctively drawn, and others by whom we are immediately
repulsed and/or angered.

Moonstruck
New Moon in Cancer, July 14:
First
the Mercury Retrograde in Cancer, and now the New Moon on July 14th
in Cancer. With the Sun, Moon and Mercury all in Cancer, and the
Moon being New, we'll all be delving into our closest
relationships to determine their value. What do you really want
out of your life and close personal relationships? The Mercury
Retrograde was the time to re-evaluate; the New Moon is the time
to make those changes. Find out what Lisa Miller has to say about
the New Moon in Cancer and how it will affect us, globally.

The Moon: The Psyche
The Moon is
the smallest planet; it is smaller than the earth and is only
250,000 miles away from us; its influence on earth and its
inhabitants is immense. The sexual urge in human-beings and
animals is found to be intimately connected with the different
phases of the Moon. In fact, the significance of the Moon is so
great that it is called Chakshusi, eye-sight. The Sun and Moon are
considered the two eyes of the universe. The Moon is so important
in Hindu predictive astrology that it is used as an ascendant, and
all transit predictions are made from the position of the Moon.
The Moon's natal position decides the planetary periods and is a
very powerful predictive technique that other astrological systems
do not have.

Balancing Your Emotions for
More Satisfying Relationships by Kat Starwolf
Because of the emotional aspect of this
month's sign, Cancer, no doubt there will be some who will find it
difficult to even read this piece. But do yourself a favor: resist
the urge to skip it.
Emotions can be a double-edged
sword. Balanced expression can help us to articulate more
clearly, or the lack thereof can defeat the whole purpose of
effective communication, thereby causing rifts in even the most
placid of relationships.
While being too emotional is
not good, not being emotional enough can cause just as many
problems. We all have emotions, including the most 'in-his-head'
Gemini, who is a good example of this particular dilemma. And
believe me, it can be a dilemma. Even Geminis with a
stellium that includes Mercury (communication, intellect) and the
Moon (emotions, intuition), though they feel more comfortable
not feeling, innately know that something is missing: their
emotions.

Mercury Retrograde in
Retrospect: An Astrological Quirk Brings
Fear and Trembling to Some Corners of the Internet
As
this nearly 12 year old New York Times article shows, Mercury
Retrogrades can be, at the least, irritating. While some might wish
to believe that Mercury Retrogrades are just an astrologer's way of
bringing in business, think again (or at least TRY to think
again!).
This is just one more instance of how
amazingly accurate astrology actually is. And notice that the first
word of the article is misspelled, a common occurrence during a
Mercury Retrograde (and I just misspelled Mercury while typing
this!)
OF [sic] this column really
does find its way into the paper this morning and these words are
being read, consider it a triumph of will over destiny.
It is being worked on
during the waning days of Mercury's retrograde motion, and since
Mercury is the planetary representative of the Greek god of
communications, and computers now fall under his sway, not even the
world of high technology is free from his influence, at least
according to generally accepted astrological principles.

Astrological Hodgepodge & Kommentary
Prophecies &
Cosmological Outlook
2012 & Beyond:
Religion aside, the prevalence of the so-called 'secular'
predictions of imminant world-wide catastrophe uttered by such
pronosticators as Nostradamus and the Maya, causes one to wonder:
Is there some truth to these predictions? Especially since it
seems that many of these ancient and not-so-ancient predictions
have come to pass. What, truly, is in store for us in 2012? Or
possibly (according to some sources) as early as 2008?
Decoding the Past -
Doomsday 2012: The End of Days There are prophecies
and oracles from around the world that all seem to point to
December 21, 2012 as doomsday. The ancient Mayan Calendar, the
medieval predictions of Merlin, the Book of Revelation and the
Chinese oracle of the I Ching all point to this specific date as
the end of civilization. A new technology called "The Web-Bot
Project" makes massive scans of the internet as a means of
forecasting the future... and has turned up the same dreaded date:
2012. Skeptics point to a long history of "Failed Doomsdays", but
many oracles of doom throughout history have a disturbingly
accurate track record. As the year 2012 ticks ever closer we'll
speculate if there are any reasons to believe these doomsayers.

While
much of this article was a bit nebulous (a diplomatic way of saying
'out there'), there were a few nuggets of information. According to
Divine Cosmos.com, a few things we have to look forward to:
·
2012, or thereabouts, represents a POSITIVE
moment of humanity's future.
·
Our solar system is moving into a higher-level zone of energy in the
galaxy.
·
The shift will affect matter, energy, consciousness and biological
life as we now know it.
·
This energy is where "thoughts become things," and that partially
explains the rise in cancer - people's unhealed anger is projecting
as tissue growth.
·
The Earth itself is a sentient being and is undergoing a graduation
into the 'fourth density' positive, which is a realm of
'unconditional love'.
·
Humanity on earth will move into a realm that is one
HUNDRED TIMES more harmonious than it is
now.
·
We will have Ascended abilities such as levitation, telekinesis,
telepathy, instant healing, time travel, et cetera.
·
All you have to do to 'graduate positive' is be slightly more
interested in helping others rather than controlling them.
·
It is NOT death in the standard sense of
the term, since you have Ascended and brought your body with you.
·
It appears that most people will spontaneously re-create the Earth,
a' la the Matrix, once they go over.

On the Horizon, Political
Outlook:
As far as I'm
concerned, 'politics' might as well be a 4-letter word. (Alright,
I know, it has 8 letters.) However, I decided before I began this
newsletter that a spotlight on world politics, and American
politics in particular, was warranted. Most everyone is
concerned with the state of the world, and, it seems, most
especially, with the state of the USA since it leads the pack. So
what does astrology have to say about the charts of our past
presidents, and what can we expect in 2008?
Presidential Astrology: Who Will Win the US Election in 2008?
One way
to compare the current candidates is by looking at the historical
record. What patterns emerge when comparing the 42 horoscopes of the
men who became President? Tabulating the Sun signs of the 42
presidents reveals nothing out of the ordinary. The Suns are fairly
evenly distributed among the twelve signs. From a statistical point
of view, the astrologer should look for the anomaly, the numbers
that break any expected distribution. The most represented Sun signs
are Aquarius and Scorpio, with five presidents each.
The least represented Sun signs are Aries, Gemini, and Virgo, with
two each. These numbers are within expected statistical variance.

Latest Weather
Report: Southeastern US to Become Desert? Let's Think it
Green! Ok, this is a bit disconcerting. I live in
Tallahassee, Florida near the burned area shown on the
map. So I'm very well aware of how unbelievably hot it's
been. Not to mention how difficult it was to breathe the smoke
from the recent forest fires, even though I'm at least a good 90
miles west of the fires. And maybe you Central and South
Flordianites can handle the sweltering tropical temps, but this
New Mexico girl is having a really difficult time with the heat
and humidity here in the South. Unfortunately, it doesn't look as
though it's going to get much better any time soon. According to
the MODIS satellite, the CURRENT conditions of our fair share of
the US pie is rather grim: several states are turning into desert
because of the lack of rainfall.
What if we THOUGHT the
parched land back to good, green health?
Based on the results of many of the experiments that have been
conducted at Princeton University in their
Global Consciousness Projects, Lynne McTaggart and friends of
Living the Field and other mass consciousness organizations,
we really can affect and effect our environment by thought.

Article Source
Science News:
The following
article was one I picked up from the University of Virginia. While
the original article -- which was linked to the UV.edu server --
stated clearly that our solar system was part of another galaxy, the
Sagittarius Dwarf galaxy, the original link which I tested before
sending out this month's ezine turned out to be dead when I
attempted to verify the source. When I truncated the
URL I was taken to a page which stated that the original article
which was originally located on the UV website, was 'fallacious.'
This is a good example of fraud in science. And while it's true
that we shouldn't believe everything we read and that sources should
be verified, what should one think or believe if the main source for
that information is supposedly a 'respected' academic facility? Just
goes to show that one really can't believe everything one reads, but
that EVERY source -- no matter its seeming veracity -- is suspect
until proven otherwise.
Scientific Proof Our Solar System Actually Part of Another
Galaxy? According to astronomers leading a major mapping project of
the heavens sponsored by the University of Massachusetts, Humans
not only may not be from here, but our solar system may not even
belong to the
Milky Way Galaxy. And is the fact that we're not oriented to the
Milky Way Galaxy's ecliptic, indicative of the possibility that our
astrological orientation is off as well? Considering that we're
primarily influenced by the planets in our own solar system, it
wouldn't seem to matter much which ecliptic we were oriented
towards. Saturn still retricts us, Uranus changes us, and Neptune
causes us to be more spiritual and oftentimes seem as though we're
in another world. Or is that another galaxy?
Scientists Prove We Are Not From Here! Imagine
the shock of growing up in a loving family with people you call
"Mum" and "Dad" and then, suddenly, learning that you are actually
adopted! This same sense of shock
came as scientists announced that the Sun, the Moon, our planet and
its siblings, were not born into the familiar band of stars known as
the Milky Way galaxy, but we actually belong to a strange formation
with the unfamiliar name of the Sagittarius Dwarf galaxy!

Is Time Really Linear? According to Dr. Michio
Kaku, theoretical physicist and author of Parallel Worlds, A
Journey Through Creation, High Dimensions and the Future of the
Cosmos (to be reviewed in next month's Kat's Book Nook
Reviews) experiments currently being conducted indicate that
there is a high probability that our universe is not only one of
many, but that multiple dimensions may, in fact, exist. Could
multiple dimensions also affect our concept of time? Jann Burner
of Unexplained Mysteries.com conveys an interesting view of this
theory in
The Resonance Theory
Let me ask you
to wrap your mind around the "idea" that TIME, as we perceive it, is
not linear. It does not move from the past into the future like a
highway. Nor does it begin on page one with something like "In the
beginning" and end three hundred pages later with something like,
"and they lived happily ever after."

Evolution of Consciousness:
The Merging of
Science and Philosophy? Aristotle, Plato and Socrates might be
turning over in their collective graves, but it looks as though
Science with a capital S may finally be realizing that there is
more to reality and to our perceptions of it than what literally
meets the eye. Carl Jung might also be shedding a gleeful tear
as he watches and listens from his Collective Unconscious as
science in the form of physics' Superstring and M-theories, cast
their dimensional net over the grids of our Universal Mind.
And isn't it
interesting how the global consciousness seems to be permeated
with the absolute desperation to understand Superstring and
M-theory as well as the Law of Attraction and the true meaning of
2012?
Understanding
String or M-Theory will be the key to unlocking the secrets to the
Universe and to so much with which we thought we were familiar and
which is going to change drastically in the very near future.
Something's coming true, folks, whether we want to admit it or
not. Whether you subscribe to the Biblical or the Secular version
which includes the world's weather forecasters, you'll notice that
there are lots of things occurring that were prophesied by
Nostradamus, the Maya, the Hopi, the Tibetans, the Hindu, the
Chinese, et al. Of course, since we have no way of truly knowing
if what we're being told about what's going on out there in the
rest of the world, is actually happening, we can only guess
at true reality. Therefore, we'll have to take their word for
what we're told. Yet, how much of History is really History? How
can we truly know, since most of us can only see when utilizing
the perceptions of another?
Do we really
need a newspaper or CNN to know what's going on? It seems that
Consciousness is catching up to us. Could you possibly be The
Hundredth Monkey?
For those who believe, no proof is necessary, for those who do
not believe, no proof is possible.
For
centuries it has been assumed that the material world is the
'real world', and that world of the mind somehow - in ways we
know not how - arises from the world of matter. I believe this
worldview is slowly, and inevitably, being turned inside out. We
are being forced to the conclusion that mind is as fundamental
as matter - in some ways, more fundamental.
The Superparadigm
The
Copernican Revolution is the classic example of what Thomas Khun
called a "paradigm shift". Current paradigms such as Darwin's
theory of evolution, quantum theory, Big Bang cosmology, and the
genetic code, are each dominating beliefs within a particular
branch of science. But beneath these various worldviews lies an
even deeper belief. It is the belief that the material world is
the real world, and that space, time, matter and energy
constitute the fundamental framework of reality. When we fully
understand the functioning of this material world, we will, it
is claimed, be able to explain everything in the cosmos.
Have they
done it? Has the Theory for Everything or the Unified Field
Theory finally been discovered?

Ask Kat is a discussion board format for adults who are looking
for compassionate, sincere, and real advice about life, love,
relationships, and all those hurdles we navigate in our lives.
Questions from the Insightful Heart Relationship Advice Forum:
Dear Kat:
I am very interested in astrology, which (I'm
told) is
very unusual for a guy. My wife is also
interested, but on a whole different level. Since she reads
Sun Sign horoscopes, I've tried to tell her that those
horoscopes are too general to give any specifically accurate
information on daily transits and suggested that she look at a
more personalized service. The problem is, she believes that
everything she reads in her horoscope is going to happen. I
was wondering if you'd be able to give some insight into the
affect the planets have on us, and whether we should believe
everything we read in our horoscope, even if it is
personalized.
Neophyte Starman
=======================================
Hah, should I call you 'Neo'?! What an excellent
moniker!
Ok, Neo, here's the scoop on Sun Sign astrology: for one
thing, Sun Sign astrology is very basic. The scientists who
argue that astrology isn't a real science, are basing their
opinions on the Sun Sign astrology columns. Don't let the
science guys fool you, I've talked to several scientists who
believe that astrology is a pseudo-science, but none of them
have yet convinced me that they truly know enough about how
astrology works to effectively and accurately debunk it. So,
if they don't know enough about it, how can their view of its
inaccuracy be accurate?
The bottom line is: Sun Sign astrology such as
is found in your daily newspaper and online sites, is based on
ONE sign out of many in our natal birth charts. Our birth
charts are made up of eleven planets (the Sun, Moon and Chiron
are considered planets in astrology), our Ascendant or Rising
Sign, our North and South Nodes of the Moon, our Midheaven,
and a few other points on the ecliptic which are not Zodiac
Signs. In other words, the Sun Sign is not the only planet or
point which is used to calculate a person's personality and
potential path through life. So, while reading Sun Sign
horoscopes can be fun, they are rarely ever anything more than
that.
They're certainly not specific. And,
truthfully, not very accurate because of the lack of the
multiplicity of planets and other astrological aspects
otherwise involved.
On your wife's tendency to believe what her
horoscope says:
that which is forecast in a horoscope - even in a personalized
horoscope - is still only a possibility. This is one
of the reasons I call my forecast reports, ' Probability'
forecasts. While our natal birth charts or wheels are similar
to blue prints of what our lives will most likely be like this
time around, they are not set in stone. We really do
have free will, and can choose to follow what is set out for
us (what we've scripted for ourselves in the In Between and
which can be seen from our birth charts), or we can choose to
follow a nother
path. Sometimes the choices we make are wise choices,
sometimes they aren't. But the ultimate reality is that at
the end of the day, we're all responsible for our own
actions. And we are the ones who choose our actions.
Our actions aren't directed by the planets, so to speak, to
direct our lives in every particular.
However, living by what your daily horoscope
says will happen is not a good practice. For one thing, you
rob yourself of the spontaneity of life. Being mentally and
emotionally strapped to anything - even the belief that what
our daily horoscope says must be the gospel - is usually not
very productive and often creates other problems. As I remind
my clients, the configuration of the planets in relation to
each other and to each of us here on earth is, again, only one
possibility. But it is not an absolute. And, in truth (so
far as I'm aware), we can choose only one of many
possibilities.
If you want to follow your horoscope, that's
fine. But, is it really necessary to consult it every day?
Even being an astrologer, I don't look at mine every day. I
look at current transits, and I may look at someone else's
current transit for the day, but I seldom look at mine. I
just don't like the idea of being tied to something on a daily
basis. But, I also like surprises. I don't want to know every
single event that I've included in my script. If I'm
attempting to plan a specific event, I'll look at the transits
for the day on which I wish the event to occur (if I have that
much control). Otherwise, if I look at my horoscope, it's
usually after the fact. And by that point, I usually am
surprised. As for believing everything that's written is
going to happen: again, these are possibilities based on the
transits in comparison to your natal planets. Just because
something might happen, doesn't mean it will. Use your
common sense - and your imagination!

The Poetry Korner is dedicated to
- what else? - poetry! Subjects include astrology,
communication, relationships, emotions, death/dying,
life/living, happiness, spirituality and just about any subject
which involves interaction between oneself or others. The idea
behind the Poetry Korner, is to communicate - to share - our
thoughts, feelings and ideas with others. I have written many
poems and will include them here from time to time, but the goal
is to open up the Poetry Korner to everyone who wishes to share
themselves, whether they are an old hand at writing poetry, or
this is your first time. Have a seat; get comfortable; and come
join us at
the
Poetry
Korner
The following poem is submitted
in recognition and honor of the Maya and their tremendous
contributions to prophecy, mathematics, astrology and the study of
time.
LORD OF THE WIND
Copyright © 2004 Kat Starwolf All Rights Reserved
Topiltzin cried
as his people died
His name engraved
on their lips.
With their dying breaths
As their blood flowed red
Giving their lives to him.
He hated the senseless slaughter
For a god who could not speak
The lives that were spent
like fodder,
Trampled in the street.
No more could he watch as a loved one
Gave his life for a dream,
While the spirits who reside in Xibalba
laugh at the dead who weep.
Yet year after year they followed
believing that if they gave
their hearts in loyal worship
Their nation they might save.
So Topiltzin cried
As his people
Banished him to the east
Never again to raise the Sun
Over the turquoise sea.
I will return, he promised
The prophecy you will heed
When the Sun and Moon are darkened
The time of the end, One Reed.
