When I embarked on my path as a psychic, a long time ago, my idea of it was a lot different than what it is today. I wanted to change the world. My wise mentor told me to take two rocks. Throw one in a 20 litre bucket filled with water and observe, see how it circles out and know that you control the effect because you limit the size, he said.

I had to take the other rock and throw it into a big dam, and whilst I heard it make a sound when it hit the water, that was it. I could not see the effect as clear as with the bucket.

Now, much wiser, sometimes a little more wary, I think about that too. When you make  predictions, some of them happen exactly as you see it, in a short space of time. Other statements will only realize later, in a totally different way than what you thought you saw.

Yet the outcome is there, if you have blind faith and exercise your free will. Life is for us to experience, good and bad, even when it is difficult to see the reason behind the bad times.

Embrace your journey in free will and blind faith, grow, share,change but stay true to yourself.

The first solar storm of this cycle hit the Earth early this month, causing it to light up spectacularly / NASA

• Sun ramping up for Solar Max
• First Max event since mid-80s
• US studies effects of ‘digital bomb’
• ISS search for dark matter, anti-universe

AFTER 10 years of comparative slumber, the sun is waking up – and it’s got astronomers on full alert.

This week several US media outlets reported that NASA was warning the massive flare that caused spectacular light shows on Earth earlier this month was just a precursor to a massive solar storm building that had the potential to wipe out the entire planet’s power grid.

NASA has since rebutted those reports, saying it could come “100 years away or just 100 days”, but an Australian astronomer says the space community is betting on the sooner scenario rather than the latter.

Despite its rebuttal, NASA’s been watching out for this storm since 2006 and reports from the US this week claim the storms could hit on that most Hollywood of disaster dates – 2012.

Friday August 20 will bring a Mercury RETROGRADE  and reversal at 20 degrees of Virgo that lasts until Mercury regains its composure to go direct again on September 12.

While Mercury retrograde is not the end of the world, it does imply the need to review, reflect and re-evaluate what’s been happening for you mentally, in key communications, on the literary horizon and in business matters over the past few months.

Uranus, the planet of change and independence, which moved briefly into Aries in May, now reverses back into Pisces until March 2011.

Uranus spends approximately seven years in each sign, and will be in Aries from 2011 until 2018. But for now it is tying up a few loose ends in Pisces where it was from 2003 until May of this year.

Uranus in Pisces is an odd combination of energies since Uranus is essentially a sky planet and Pisces is a watery one. On the positive side, it can bring revelations and new insights into creativity, spiritual beliefs and psychology. It wants you to dig deeper for answers, to go into the core of your being and shed a little light on what had been hidden from view. So it can promote inner growth and understanding, and can bring stronger intuitive abilities. At best, it helps us bring together intellect and emotions, gives depth to ideas at the same time as brings a sense of perspective to feelings.

However, Uranus energy is a highly sensitive energy so the negative side can be high anxiety, needless worry and confusion. It is vital to stay clear and centered, not to be misled by delusions, odd hunches or indulge in escapist pursuits, or get lost in unrealistic fantasies.

Uranus wants to free you from the past, from old muddled attitudes of mind especially where relationships are concerned. So it is vital to understand where you have gone wrong and how you can put it right.

We start off the month of August with two days of mega-high-octane energy starting with Jupiter in Aries squaring Pluto on August 3. Jupiter in Aries is go-ahead, self confident; it acts as a motivator, a crusader and can be wildly impulsive. When it meets powerful Pluto at a square, then it can boost all those tendencies way over the top.

Jupiter and Pluto together have a reputation for making certain people think that rules and regulations don’t apply to them, so you may find yourself in situations that are tricky to handle. This cosmic energy can make some of us become a law unto to ourselves and thoroughly stubborn. Although, if you find yourself on the receiving end, be prepared to be slapped down by the boss, or end up with traffic or parking tickets. The upside of Jupiter Pluto is that it boosts confidence so if you’re normally timid it will help enormously.

What complicates matters is that by very next day, August 4, Pluto moves on to square Mars, and Jupiter has moves into an opposition to Mars – across the zodiac. So there will be a dizzying combination of assertion and dynamism from Mars, expansive though possibly unrealistic optimism from Jupiter, and Pluto’s drive for control and influence.

Jupiter – Pluto combinations tend to work on the might makes right theory of life. Mars – Jupiter can be self justifying, tending to wrap its’ aggression in high minded moral excuses. Mars – Pluto just knows that relentless determination pays off.

If you get it right you could move mountains, start grandiose new projects, or turn your life around. But you could just as easily find yourself pushed around by someone else’s inflated schemes. The key is to be centred. Be neither too stubbornly intent on getting your own way, nor too submissive. Be yourself and use this time as productively as possible.

However, we all act and react depending upon our individual make-up or personal psyche and personality. What perturbs one person may not bother another.

About the Solar Eclipse in Cancer on July 11, 2010

A total Solar Eclipse occurs on July 11th at 3:41 PM EDT at 19 degrees and 24 minutes of Cancer. Its effects can be felt up to six months after the actual date of the eclipse. In the Moon-ruled sign of Cancer, domestic issues, family, personal popularity, the public, women’s interests, safety, security, food, support, our past/roots/heritage, and emotional issues will be a strong focus on a personal level. This eclipse is about new beginnings regarding all of these matters.

Occurring in Cancer, we are called upon to feed our foundation–all of that which we call “home”, including the foundation we have built inside of ourselves, needs to be tended to and honored. We need to pay attention to our instincts, our deepest needs, and our feelings; and to recognize the importance of our family and our personal circle of friends and the security, sense of belonging, and safety we derive from them. We are called upon to get in touch with our vulnerability and our needs for intimacy, as well as opening ourselves up to accepting support from others; to offer and show support for others, without a hidden agenda; and we might begin a new project that involves improving the home itself, or improving domestic life in general.

With this potent Cancer energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives that will benefit us well beyond this Moon cycle. For some of us, circumstances are such that we needto pay more attention to these matters. Some of Cancer’s “lessons” involve learning to feed our souls, to honor our innermost feelings, and to get in touch with our vulnerability and dependency on others. We are reminded of our support system and our need for a sense of safety and security. If we focus too much on achieving our career objectives at the expense of building a solid sense of personal satisfaction, we eventually become ineffective both personally andprofessionally. Why? Because our push for results on a professional level will not bring us long-term success if we don’t know what it is we need for ourselves on a personal level.

Flaws in an important system in our lives are revealed around the time of the eclipse, prompting us to redo or to start fresh. Something ends in order for something else to start anew. We may be called to give up something in order to move forward into a new chapter in our lives. Although the “new” may be unrecognizable, it is important to allow the necessary surrender to the unknown.

The eclipse point itself is sextile Mars, and we have the necessary energy at our disposal to make necessary changes. The harmonious sextiles suggests it may be natural to do these things.

An eclipse occurs close to the nodal axis, and this eclipse is widely conjunct the South Node. This suggests that we may be hesitant about making changes, preferring to cling to the past. Letting go of something that has been holding us back is likely to figure. Eclipses conjuncting the South Node tend to “feel” more challenging than those conjuncting the North Node, at least initially, as we are called upon to give up or release something, and to move out of a familiar place or a comfort zone.

Major developments in the personal areas ruled by Cancer in our charts are likely to occur over the course of the next 3-6 months. However, because this is the one of many in a series of eclipses falling in Cancer-Capricorn, we can extend this range much further. The first occurred in July 2009. The last eclipse falling along this axis will occur in January 2011. Not everyone will feel the effect of the eclipse with the same intensity. Those whose personal planets are activated by the degree of the eclipse will most feel its effects on a personal level.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 25 degrees and 01 minutes of Capricorn, affecting people born with personal planets and points at 20 to 30 degrees of the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) most significantly.

Solar eclipses occurred at approximately the same degree as this July 2010 eclipse on July 9, 1964, July 10, 1972, and July 11, 1991. It might help to think back to these periods and consider the themes that surrounded your life then in order to get a better understanding of what the current eclipse series might mean for you. Also, as noted above, a Solar Eclipse occurred in the sign of Cancer in July 2009, and if you think back to the summer of last year, issues that emerged then can re-emerge or continue to need attention.

The chart above shows the other planets’ positions at the time of the eclipse.

If this eclipse stimulates your 1st-7th house axis, you are called upon to strike a balance between relationship and self. Issues of personal courage, confidence, and independence come to the fore over the next year. You may, for example, receive a cosmic push towards expressing yourself more creatively (especially if 19 Cancer is in the first house), and experience an increased drive to take charge of your life. Issues surrounding personal appearance, the body, and one’s image become especially important and, in some cases, critical. Basically, you will be learning to stand on your own two feet! This sequence of eclipses will alert you to the need to interact with others–either the public, or through a close partnership (especially if 19 Cancer is in the seventh house). For some, marriage or divorce will be an issue. For most, carving out a personal identity that includes a significant other who furthers their own personal growth will come into focus. The July eclipse should give you a push towards a stronger identity or sense of purposefulness through close partnership.

If this eclipse stimulates your 2nd-8th house axis, you will be called upon to strike a balance between your own needs for security and comfort and the same needs of other people, likely those of a significant other. If 19 Cancer is in the second house, personal finances will come into strong focus. How well have you taken care of your finances? More importantly, have you taken charge of your personal sense of security? If 19 Cancer is in the eighth house, issues of sexuality and spirituality may be a stronger focus. In either case, issues of shared resources, sexuality, and possessions are featured. With this eclipse, it’s time to start fresh with regards to how you go about satisfying your needs for security and comfort. If 19 Cancer is in the second house, take charge of your life by taking the necessary steps to make yourself feel good and secure. You are called upon to make a stand and to tend to your comfort levels. If you do so, the positive effects will ricochet back into your intimate life. If you continue to tend to your partner’s comfort levels while ignoring your own, feelings of resentment and neglect can infect your relationships. Get in touch with what feels most comfortable for you, and the intimacy level in your relationship will step up a notch. If 19 Cancer is in the eighth house, you are learning about the comfort levels of others. Essentially, you are learning to share and to surrender yourself (in a balanced manner!) to intimacy.

If the 3rd-9th house axis is stimulated by this eclipse, issues surrounding learning and sharing knowledge will come to the fore. For some, issues surrounding attention to one’s immediate environment, and branching out and beyond it, are stimulated. If 19 Cancer is in the third house, you are receiving a cosmic push to become more active in your immediate environment (neighborhood, with siblings/relatives, etc.), and/or to learn and communicate facts that fuel your opinions. If 19 Cancer is in the ninth house, you will be learning to expand your horizons, either through contact with people from an entirely different background than yours, travel, or higher learning. Your personal philosophy will be changing, and this eclipse gives you a push towards adopting beliefs that truly work for you in the real world. Other possible issues stimulated include transportation and mobility (for example, some may be learning to depend on others for getting from point A to point B, and others may be learning to take charge of their own mobility), running errands and tending to one’s daily life effectively, and learning about one’s need for self-expression through adventure.

If the 4th-10th house axis is stimulated by this eclipse, issues surrounding public and private lives, as well as attention to career and to family, are stimulated. The fourth house rules our instinctual needs, the domestic scene, our needs for security, and our focus on family and home life as well as relationships with family. The tenth house rules our needs for status, our career and reputation, our worldly ambitions, structure, and our drive for success. Striking a balance between these issues is the focus of this sequence of eclipses. If 19 Cancer is in the fourth house, it’s time to take steps to improve your family and home life. This eclipse is the first cosmic push for you to take charge of your private life. If 19 Cancer is in the tenth house, you are called upon to pay more attention to your career and public life, and to take charge of this important part of your life. Either way, this can play out in a number of ways. Some may have to make some critical decisions due to situations in the life that force them to make choices between career and family goals. Some people are promoted or their career takes a new direction (especially if an eclipse occurs close to the Midheaven). The challenge is to find a healthy balance–to improve home life, while at the same time tending to one’s career needs.

If this eclipse stimulates your 5th-11th house axis, social activity is the focus. The need to be appreciated by others, and the need for togetherness with others, comes into play. A love affair may begin or end under this influence. New contacts with others may also occur. If 19 Cancer is in the fifth, you will learn to let go of a fear of taking risks, and to develop the courage to strike out on your own individual and creative path without fear. You are called upon to deal with others in a more personal, involved, and loving manner, rather than falling back on reason and intellect, which detaches you from your feelings. This series of eclipses is about learning to take personal risks, which requires a certain amount of self-confidence. If 19 Cancer is in the eleventh, you will be learning about letting go of your attachment to the drama of romance and personal relationships, as well as your willfulness. You are called upon to learn about the value of the team. You may need to give freedom to your romantic partner instead of expecting him or her to follow a script of your own making. You learn the value of brotherly love and the benefits of a sense of belonging to a community. Events are such that you move towards a more objective approach to your life and you cultivate true friendships.

If this eclipse stimulates your 6th-12th house axis, issues of work and service, as well as health (both mental/spiritual, and physical), come into focus. If 19 Cancer is in the sixth house, you are called upon to deal with the the details and practicalities of everyday life, to become more organized, and to take charge of your routines. It’s time to formulate some clear goals and plans. Circumstances are such that you need to develop some healthy habits, routines, and schedules. Believing in a grand plan is fine, but practical concerns need to be dealt with as well. Recognizing your personal limitations in terms of just how much you can give to others and just how much compassion and understanding you can show is essential now. It’s time to structure your life. If 19 Cancer is in the twelfth house, over the next year you are called upon to rid yourself of guilt about under-performing, and to develop faith and trust in a larger more spiritual plan. It’s time to let go of some of your fears that you are not doing enough, to develop more compassion and understanding of others, and to be humble, feeling safe in the knowledge that you (and others) are not perfect. It’s time to let go of some of your obsessions with rules, details, and fears of not doing things perfectly. When this axis is stimulated, issues of guilt, worry, and anxiety become paramount.
