DIANA, IN MEMORIAM
It is ten years ago precisely that Diana, The Princess of Wales died. And in memory of her life and death I thought it appropriate to include a few thoughts here on Astrolutely.com. They come in the form of a chapter in my book, Starstruck.

Weekly Hello!

20th July 2008 - 27th July 2008

July 21st marks a very special anniversary – thirty-nine years ago man first walked on the moon. At 2 56 am GMT in 1969 American, Neil Armstrong, stepped onto the moon's surface in the Sea of Tranquility uttering the immortal words, 'This is one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind.' How perfectly depicted was this moment in the astrology – the sun in Cancer (the sign ruled by the moon) and the moon in peace-loving Libra conjunct Jupiter. A short while later the astronauts unveiled a plaque, which stands there to this day and hopefully for all eternity, bearing the message, ' We came in peace for all mankind.'

Month Ahead

1st July 2008 - 31st July 2008

After the cosmic storm that was June, July looks positively balmy. The sun, Mercury and Venus will all oppose Jupiter generating joy and good will, and galloping inflation. The new moon in Cancer (3rd) should be a time of hope, peace and high spirits yet coming before the Mercury-Uranus square of the 5th there is a degree of volatility to factor in, so risks of any description are best avoided.. By far the most challenging period falls on or near the 10th - Mercury opposes Pluto, taking us back to events of mid-to-late June and causing controversy and deadlock, on the one hand, and creating powerful new structures, on the other, while Mars conjuncts Saturn. Mars-Saturn combos bring reality to bear yet they do not make us feel joyful and optimistic, so we should expect some national and international difficulties at this time. Venus moves into Leo on the 12th and the sun into this fire sign on the 22nd and I am tempted to say: make hay while the sun shines because August opens on a total solar eclipse...

Penny Thornton 2008: Hello!

Our summer stars are dominated by the eclipses of 1st and 16th August. And of these two the total solar eclipse in Leo on the 1st is the most important. All eclipses have a fateful quality about them, whether they bring new lovers together, welcome a genius into our midst or cause a global event that takes our breath away. So, with the Beijing Olympics opening on the 8th August and closing on the 24th we can at the very least expect some controversial elements to these games, if not a full blown act of violence. (And just in case you're interested, the Chinese have set a very auspicious time for the opening of the Games: 08 08 08 pm on the 8th,which puts mystical and sacrificial Pisces on the Ascendant...) Pluto's entry into Capricorn in January earmarked this as the beginning of a new era for China, and the Olympic Games and the completion of the Shanghai World Financial Centre (the world's tallest building) are symbols of the growing dominion of this nation.

Saturn is currently in the sign of Virgo, and the last time this planet was here was between July 1978 and September 1980, which gave Europe two of the hottest summers on record. (So, bulk-buy the sunscreen and invest in some air-conditioning.) Possibly of even more interest, however, is that Saturn in Virgo is particularly favourable for women in politics (Margaret Thatcher being elected as Britain's first female Prime Minister in 1979 � a position she held until 1990) so Hillary Clinton has at least one astrological factor in her favour, and although this has denied her the Democratic nomination, she can expect a stellar position in the next government, if not some further accolades. There is an aura of austerity to a Virgoan Saturn, which is already apparent in the way that we are all having to downsize due to the credit squeeze and make a concerted effort to combat the ravages of global warming. Hem lines traditionally come down in a recession or a depression so flowing maxi dresses for the summer and long skirts for autumn/winter could all be hanging in our wardrobes.

Jupiter will be retrograding through Capricorn all summer, taking us back in time, whether we are forced to confront the error of our spending habits, our eating patterns or our relationship addictions! It will be a good time to right wrongs of all kinds while at the same time affirming our infinite self value. On a more serious note, however, we should remain somewhat suspicious of any positive forecasts about the economy, because according to the astrology, this is going to take a long time to fix.

It would be good to think that the planets would let us off our dreary life lessons for the summer but even under the hot sun and blue skies there is work to be done. Fortunately, there are some lovely influences surrounding our affairs, especially in July, so it is a case of making the most of what we have rather than pursuing that crock of gold at the end of a rainbow. Living in the moment is the recipe for happiness, and certainly my tip for a seriously happy summer. Enjoy.

Penny
