Having trouble resting? Your attention is likely pulled in too many directions with no clear path. It's hard to settle, to rest. The energy, in general, is way up, but you may be feeling your energy way low. Uranus goes retrograde on 6/23 at 7:43 am PDT. Emotional tides are turning and their thrum pulls your energy and attention. Mars enters Taurus, an Earth Sign, on 6/24 at 2:26 pm PDT. This will help dampen the spacy fissioning of the emotional mind and will allow you to gain traction in the directions you want to go. I recommend that you find plenty of time to rest and recreate. Stop and smell the roses or forever smell your neuroses.

Saturn opposes Neptune on 6/25 at 9:57 am PDT. This is their last opposition for this cycle. Notice how unreal everything appears. That's accurate, but can be daunting if it's new to you. Money issues are up for almost everybody. The pressure of Change is immense and you may want to fall asleep or check out of your body in other ways. The less that you project out shoulds, the easier this time will be. Go easy on your self. Let money come to you. We are heavily conditioned to struggle around it. Settle into the situation that you find yourself in for the purpose of gaining traction so that you can make choices that move you through the obstacles. If you let the reaction melt to what is going on for you now, you then can show up for now and the future nows wherein you can effect change in the directions that you want. Always lead with your intention for what you want. There are plenty of conditioned karmic patterns that intend unconsciously for you in directions that you don't want. No need to figure them out, but do pay attention. Unconsciousness is the problem ultimately rather than the stuff that you think is bad.

You can get to the heart of the matter now. That usually isn't a direct route. Meanders count. By allowing yourself to be, your being will manifest what you have been looking for. Once you get to the core of the matter, don't make it real or believe it. Just make choices beyond where you were stuck and enjoy yourself.

This is the 30 year anniversary of my becoming an astrologer. I was 25 and living in Ann Arbor, Michigan when I went to an Eden's Foods' company square dance. A beautiful woman named Janice Johnson tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to dance. My muse had appeared. At the end of the evening's dosey does, I asked her about herself. She was an astrologer who was offering a six week course starting Monday. I was moving out west in five weeks, but I signed up. As soon as I learned how to erect a chart, I was off and running giving in depth sessions to folks. I had been seeing karmic patterns since I was a pre-schooler. The astrology chart gave me the crystal ball to read these patterns in a person's chart. My vision has been refining ever since. This work has taken me around some very interesting corners of the planet and it has been my deepest pleasure to meet you, reflect with you and share with you. Thanks to Janice my initiator and to all of my clients past, present and future.

A fine and dear woman named Charlene Lategan has passed on. She hosted me in South Africa and assisted me in getting to Namibia to work. Her kindness, generosity and brilliance will always be appreciated and remembered by me. Peace to her and her family.

Best wishes to you all,
Mark
