Weekly meanders July 30-August 5

In General: This week begins with a New Moon in Leo on the 1st and a complete solar eclipse. Along with this we will have 6 planets lined up in a Leo Stellium. This indicates the very real possibility of major energy shifts representing themselves as movements of the earth. On a more personal level the Leo placement suggests that this eclipse will offer us all some challenges to the ego. Our task will be the sorting out of what is and isn’t useful in the journey to our personal satisfactions and successes. This week highlights the process but it is one that continues for the whole of August! Expect some tension around the home-front; release its importance by lowering your expectations of self and others. For those with birthdays this week the year ahead is an important one for self development. Give it the attention it is due. On the world scene a build up of tension may be the backdrop of the political pushing and shoving that we are likely to see.

Astrology News: A new look at Ceres, the largest of all asteroids, suggests that Ceres is actually an escapee from the Kuiper belt, a reservoir of frozen bodies that includes Pluto. The density of Ceres it has been discovered is only slightly higher than that of Pluto and studies show it is remarkably Pluto like. It may be reclassified as a dwarf planet.
