Pluto's Dark Knight has risen brandishing a scalpel

Colorado’s explosive massacre is one tragic version of the showdown affecting all of us.  


As heros and heroines we know that bandaids on abuse and platitudes about gun control are not just senseless, they’re cowardly.  


The solution inherent in the Uranus-Pluto tension is transcendence.  Rising above the useless struggles of for-or-against.  

A fresh perspective, courtesy of the stars, comes midweek when a sudden opportunity helps us solve an old problem.  Imagine all of us “armed” with intelligent cameras that warned us of trouble, rallied our neighbors, called the police, and captured the culprit on video!  It takes a whole community to catch a thief.

Sunday Morning begins when that fireball of constant energy, the Sun, happily begins his 31-day journey through his home sign, Leo.  Join your imagination with the joy of children playing.  

The Force of transcendence is with you.
Here’s your personal forecast for the week of July 22, 2012:

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)
The Sunday morning sunrise has the warm glow of Leo the lion-hearted.  The self-confidence of the king of the jungle infuses your sense of self, bringing you renewed prowess and strength.  Sudden opportunities arise for you this week, in your job or in your pocketbook, that give you a greater ability to accomplish your goals.  This will show up in creative attempts at self-expression.  Midweek adds an excitement that stimulates your impulsiveness and also attracts someone into your life who is quite unusual.  

Taurus ♉ (April 20-May 20)
You may have to contend with some grandstanding by a few big lions, but the Leo Sun will shine its light on solutions for your home and your immediate environment.  Family roots will engender new loyalties and stronger connections.  Midweek is a very productive time for you to grow in self-understanding through an encounter with someone that shows you a new side of yourself.  Relief comes in with the Scorpio Moon Thursday morning, putting the weekend vibes on a slightly lower key.  

Gemini ♊ (May 21-June 20)
Generosity is doubly yours this week with the naturally generous Leo Sun adding to the gifts of Santa Claus (Jupiter) in Gemini.  New ideas challenge your status quo, zapping you with enough impatience to get you moving in a new direction.  Giving and receiving greater knowledge, you’re in a time of spontaneous solutions.  Careful not to leap to unwarranted conclusions around midweek when your emotions snowball.  Keep to your path by avoiding impulsive urges.

Cancer ♋ (June 21-July 21)
The Leo Sun shines light on your roots, the qualities that anchor you so firmly to home.  You understand your creative need to give birth to something brand new, both through your body and your mind.  Try not to pick a fight (especially midweek) when your emotions become so stimulated that they run away with your cool-headed wisdom.  Right now the planetary energies are mostly air and fire, leaving your watery Cancerian depths filled only by visionary Neptune.  Very important to take time for yourself to recharge, which you can do when the Scorpio Moon arrives Thursday morning.  

Leo ♌ (July 22-August 22)
With the Sun now in your sign, you shine with solutions for those personal bedevilments that have been hiding in the darkest shadows.  Breakthroughs occur spontaneously.   Monday evening’s Libra Moon adds grace and beauty (and a fiery Leo Sunset which is not to be missed).  The hills are on fire Wednesday when Messenger Mercury, also in your sign, initiates talks with revolutionary Uranus.  Even from the Leo king, nothing transforms by simply demanding to have your own way.  But by Tuesday evening Neptune levels the playing field, melting the borders that seem to separate you.  Plenty of optimistic buzz fills your weekend.  Your words are solar powered.

Virgo ♍ (August 23-September 22)
Be a dreamcatcher this week.  The Leo Sun is shining a visionary light on your hopes and wishes--not of the ego, but of the Spirit within you.  Virgo’s famous healing hands are needed midweek to sooth some stormy relationships.  Your skills as a mediator are sorely needed Thursday when the Scorpio Moon challenges the structure of intimate relationships and tensions rise all around you.  Pluto’s on your side, so you’re blessed with profound understandings of what makes people tick.   

Libra ♎ (September 23-October 22)
Your world expands through connections with generous friends who bring you sudden opportunities to contribute to the growth of your community.  Monday’s smooth and easy vibe gets even more harmonious for you when the Moon enters Libra at 3:39 PM, PDT.  But her iron fist hits the heart of the Uranus/Pluto square on Tuesday, setting some intense feelings into motion.  Don’t let them gain a life of their own!  Good orderly direction fills your life by Wednesday evening.  Optimism and a desire for more freedom fills your weekend--share it.

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)
A new era in your career begins this week when the Leo Sun lights up visible solutions to achieving your ambitions.  When the Moon enters Scorpio Wednesday evening (7:29 PM, PDT), she will infuse your imagination with visionary insights.  Pay attention to people you’ve been taking for granted.  By the end of the week any hidden tensions will have surfaced.  You’ll have a burst of psychic energy to basically accomplish anything you put your mind to!  

Sagittarius ♐ (November 22-December 20)
The spotlight is on your optimism, helping you achieve a freedom that you’ve only dreamed of until now.  A sudden opportunity for travel and adventure comes your way under the generosity of the Leo Sun.  Sparks start flying Friday when the Moon enters Sagittarius at 10:18 PM, PDT.  She’s making communication magic with Messenger Mercury.  You enjoy a big blast of Leo’s self-confidence on Saturday, just in time to create an unusual weekend adventure.

Capricorn ♑ (December 21-January 19)
The Sunlight of the Spirit permeates the deeper recesses of your cocoon, quickening the new life that you know awaits you.  Make a little noise and break a few barriers.  Midweek is intense.  Your emotions can gain such momentum that you lose control of your impulses and put yourself in a situation you really don’t want.  It’s a restless time for you with only 1 of 10 planets in a down-to-earth sign.  Ground yourself with a back to nature weekend.

Aquarius ♒ (January 20-February 17)
Partnerships are spotlighted this week and you can expect favorable changes.  The Leo Sun helps you attract strong and loyal friends to your side.  It’s also a week for you to express your power potential.  You could sell snow to the eskimos!  By Tuesday you’ll be reverberating from the sound of a giant wake-up call.  An artful Libra Moon combines with a creative Mercury in Leo to turn your words into lyrics.  Then you’re conversations are loaded with the  famous Sagittarius ability to jump to conclusions--but it actually works for you.  Saturday is sparkling when colorful lightning strikes your mind with quantum leaps in clarity and flashes of genius.  

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)
The robust Leo Sun shines a light on your health and diet, helping you recoup easily from any dis-ease.  You have a strong need this week to have your efforts appreciated since your self-esteem has become wrapped up in your work.  Nevertheless, you can expect a growth of your resources, particularly at home and through family connections.  Wednesday evening, when the Moon enters Scorpio (7:29 PM, PDT) she makes an inspirational liaison with Neptune in Pisces.  Magic infuses your dreams.
