STAR TALK WILL BE ON KMEJ-RADIO - COMING SOON! https://streema.com/radios/KMEJ_Radio

  THE WEEK OF THE BIG BANG! (OR MANY!) MARS/URANUS CAN MAKE FOR A VERBAL SURPRISE OR AN AIR DISASTER (HOPE NOT THE LATTER)! WILL THE ORANGE BOY CRY WOLF AGAIN? PLUS FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN, JUPITER INTO LEO, & MERCURY RETRO IN CANCER, JUST TO OUTDO TEXAS!

YES, A WILD WEST WEEK IS IN STORE, WHAT WILL BOMBS LITERALLY BURSTING IN AIR, ALONG WITH MARS/URANUS CONJUNCTION ON THE USA ASCENDANT(AS IF THAT ISN’T BAD ENOUGH BY ITSELF), MERC RETRO IN CANCER ON USA MERC, JUPITER BURNING INTO LEO, NEPTUNE ON USA ZEUS (ARE WE THE LEADERS OF THE FREE WORLD OR NOT?) SAG LILITH OPPOSING USA MARS (WHO WILL SET SOME BOUNDARIES?} AND CHIRON IN TAURUS OPPOSING USA PART OF FORTUNE…WHEW!

Wouldn’t we like the Part of Fortune to be about fortune, but more often than not, it’s about health, and with Chiron the Wounded healer opposing in Taurus, we’re more likely to have money troubles, more earthquakes, and probably fires as we enter TOO MUCH FIRE IN THE ASTROLOGICAL CHART season. Whoops. We’re already on our way in Utah, and y’all already saw the earthquakes rumble and tumble in the Philippines. Cali, Venezuela, and China. Every day, I wake up and go, who or what will be next<? Here in Oklahoma, we just had a rough and tumble weekful of storms and tornadoes every day, destroying homes, trees, and a buttload of PLANES. These storms are over, but with Jupiter moving into Leo, and already 5 celestial objects of one sort or another in fire, wildfires and unreasonable heat are bound to come for the Northern Hemisphere, not just USA.

Any good news? Let’s try! 

The week begins with a full moon in Capricorn on Monday. Full moons are times of completion and are meant for thanksgiving, although I know not many hospitals or nursing homes may be thinking that, as they experience their patients turning into werewolves temporarily, howling at the moon. Fortunately, full moon in Cap shouldn’t be that bad—could be worse. At least, it’s an earth sign, more grounded and less emotional. Cap moons are about hard work and persistence, industry, striving to make it to the top, responsibility (or lack of) with money. It also affects bones and structural parts of the body. I already have heard stories this week of hurt backs and friends tripping, so cuidado, y’all! Best way to tackle this less than exciting full moon is to say thanks for helping me keep it all together!

Jupiter heads into Leo this week, which should be fun and bring on some larger-than-life experiences for all to view. Jupiter in Leo offers opportunities to be seen and heard, but just as you’re about to make the big announcement, Mercury in Cancer goes backward, and we all know what Merc Retro means, don’t we? Delays delays delays, communicational, travel-related and technical snafus! So, wherever you are, bring an extra drink and a snack—and a book—so you won’t get bored or frustrated while you wait for things to start working again. Mercury retrograde teaches us patience. Take a deep breath, and hang in there! Mercury Retrograde in Cancer can bring back around family discussions that need to be reviewed, ancestry or old pictures or old belongings reassessed and distributed—just don’t send by mail or truck till after July 23rd! AND Jupiter in Leo plus Merc in Cancer can also enlarge the waistline. Watch that you don’t chow down too much at those holiday barbecues! 

I was just reminded this past week, also, that Mercury is a psychopomp and can usher folks to the other side—and I don’t mean of your neighbor’s fence, either. As one believing in divine order, know that if that happens to someone you know, now is their time, and in addition, just know that they really haven’t gone all that far. They’re still around you. It’s okay if you still talk to them. You’re not crazy. ;)

The week begins with a Sun/Neptune square. The Sun in Cancer (family, old things, water) is our focus, but Neptune in Aries is anything but. Neptune is nebulous and confusing and dreamy. If you speak to the old folks on the other side, this week, that would be about normal. Later in the week, The Sun drops Neptune and squares up with Saturn, the oppressor/repressor/depressor. So both situations are not easy to deal with. If you get a bit blue before the Big Birthday Bash, it’s okay. You have the right and the reason. Give yourself a break. The last 2 weeks and the upcoming 2 weeks are not easy. Hang in there. Something good is coming, once we get past this retrograde, I promise!

Know that I feel like I need to tell the uncomfortable truth, folks, not to dishearten you but to prepare you. Think about the ways to self-care as we endure these challenging times. Better days are ahead, sooner than you think!

Mars in Gemini makes a challenging T-square to North Node/Moon in Pisces and South Node Virgo. As you can guess, squares are difficult to maneuver, but they challenge us to rise up and persist and do better. No one gets anywhere without a few squares in one’s chart. And so it is. The challenge here is when the unexpected verbal action is taken, remember that prayers/meditation/the spiritual is practical, and the practical is spiritual. Pick up a broom and sweep to cleanse. Prayers work. Remember these things.

July 3rd may be difficult, as Mars hits Uranus, dead on. On the same day, Jupiter squares Chiron the Wounded Healer, and Chiron has been giving us some solid reminders lately of who is really in charge—and believe you me, it’s Mother Earth, not any puffed-up billionaires. Mama can bring us all to square one, so I wouldn’t be surprised if she doesn’t do that on July 3rd. If not, there may be another form of shake-up in the form of a shocking message. My biggest hope, however, is that Jupiter in Leo topples a few leaders, although we may have to wait for the August 12th solar eclipse for that to happen. New and young leaders ARE indeed rising up, so have heart, dear ones!

Whatever happens this week, the repercussions, according to Mars & crew trine rebellious Pluto in Aquarius, are bound to transform us and our country. May your celebrations be safe and bright! Meanwhile, I and my pets will be wearing our headphones.
