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!

8th September 2008 - 14th September 2008

I don't know about you but I have been stuck in the sidings for the past few months: nothing much has moved in my life and when anything did it was almost always in the wrong direction! However, I am hopeful that this trend is now on the wane since both Jupiter and Pluto return to direct motion, and as they move forward, so, hopefully, will a whole lot of other matters. Good things will surely come out of the actions taken at this time, a sentiment as much in evidence in world events as our own lives. Yet while I am a great believer in being proactive and exercising free will, I have also observed that it is invariably the hand of fate that sets us on a new course. Food for thought in this week of changing fortunes.

Month Ahead

1st September 2008 - 30th September 2008

When Jupiter and Saturn are in harmony, business, the economy and affairs of state should follow suit. Just how true this theory is we will all have a chance to discover during this last quarter of the year. On 4th September the sun will trine both Jupiter and Saturn, bringing out the consolidating and growth-oriented properties of this coupling, and right through until late-December they will be closely linked one of the more hopeful indications of some kind of global recovery, albeit short-lived. Jupiter and Pluto also revert to direct motion on the 8th and 9th respectively, so from this point we can expect less dithering from our governments and turn-arounds of one sort or another. The week of the 8th also begins to see Uranus gaining momentum, and the 13th - 15th could be a particularly volatile period on both an individual and collective level. Get all your arrangements in the diary and all your ducks in a row by the 24th because you know what happens when Mercury turns retrograde – everything goes into s-l-o-w motion.

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
