PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY July 22 2013 to July 28 2013 Monday July 22 Star Turns All this week, the Harmonic Convergence remains powerful. The special pattern of aspects involves slow-moving planets. They took some time to move into position and will now take more time to drift apart. While Saturn, Neptune, plus Jupiter and Mars, stay in the shape of an equilateral triangle or Grand Trine, three more heavenly bodies will form yet another Grand Trine. This one involves the Moon - so it won't last long. But early next week, the Moon, Venus and Pluto's Grand Trine will overlap the first one creating, briefly, the auspicious shape of six-pointed star in the zodiac! Tuesday July 23 A Royal Child is Born The conjunction of Mars and Jupiter has just become exact, completing the cosmic triangle between these two planets (at one point of the triangle) with Neptune and Saturn at the other two points. That promises an imminent uplift in the mood of many people, especially those who have been experiencing delay or frustration during Mercury's recent retrograde phase. This planet of communication 'changed direction' over the weekend - which may be what the new member of the Royal Family was waiting for! Read my article about the new royal baby here.

You went on to suggest that this maxim made people feel guilty about leading a relaxed life. I think it is also carries an insidious suggestion about lack of abundance. Surely the world has more than enough for all of us? Jurgen Dear Jurgen, I almost missed your email because, on the day it arrived, I woke up so early with so much to do. But the next day, I slept in, woke refreshed and had more leisure time to check my messages!

Friday July 26 Time of the Signs Who gets a raw deal from astrology columns? The folk who were born close to the end of one sign and the beginning of another. Different publications give different dates but these are averages. They create the false impression that the signs click over at the stroke of midnight - where, in reality, they vary by many hours each year. Hence the myth of being 'on the cusp' and thus a bit of both. Kate and William's baby for example, may have been born in the last few seconds of the sign of Cancer this year but he's completely Cancerian.
