Wednesday, July 28—Last night’s moon void of course period ends at 2:59 this morning when the moon enters Aquarius. At that point, the energy will lift noticeably, and general moods will tend to become more mellow, if a bit spacey. The full moon and its attendant energies will run into today, but will fade as the day wears on. There may seem to be little evidence of that, however, as yesterday’s major energies, both cautionary and positive, remain in effect, and they are joined by another major cautionary energy. This energy yet again brings the crazies out. Watch for bizarre behavior of all kinds as well as sudden irrational violence, freak accidents and electrical fires. This energy will remain and recur in a more powerful form over the next few days, so take this warning seriously and observe it carefully well into the coming weekend.

Thursday, July 29—The high cautionary energy from yesterday remains very much in effect through today. Reread yesterday, and apply the warnings carefully through today. Be aware of three more major energies through today. The first indicates a general shift in the way energy and power are approached and used toward a more balanced and aesthetic orientation. This is Mars entering Libra. The second is very good for seeing beneath the surface and coming to deeper understanding. Secrets may be revealed, but mostly not in problematic or troubling ways. The third, however, is contradictory and more cautionary. A great deal of activity involving communication and transportation will transpire, but it will be very easy for people to get carried away and go about things in erratic fashion. You will likely run into one or more motor-mouths. Don’t bite off more than you can actually chew, and don’t make promises that will be too difficult, or even impossible, to keep. Be aware that the moon will be void of course from 10:43 tonight well into tomorrow afternoon.

Friday, July 30—Last night’s moon void of course period runs through this morning and finally ends at 3:41 this afternoon when the moon enters Aries. At that point, the energy will lift very noticeably, and general moods will tend to become somewhat more assertive and aggressive. High energy from yesterday will remain very much with us through today, both positive and cautionary. Reread the past two days, and apply the warnings very carefully. This is especially true of the caution from Wednesday, which repeats in a much stronger form today and is among the most problematic there is. Be aware of two more major energies today. The first is a repeat of the fourth major energy from last Sunday (see July 21-27 issue). Reread that warning, and be very careful with it today. It is in bad combination with the one mentioned above, as overreactions to revealed secrets can go way beyond normal. The second is positive and is the one to focus on. This one is very good for taking a disciplined approach and beginning projects using energy and power. Take a disciplined approach to all things today, and don’t get swept up in difficulties that you normally wouldn’t. Minor energies are of little help, and good choices are imperative. This is likely to be a very active social Friday night, but it is one to deal with very wisely.

Saturday, July 31—Late Friday night party scenes will be strongly energized in today’s predawn. Have fun, but be careful. High cautionary energy from the past few days will linger through today, and at the very least, there will be people still dealing with fallout and aftereffects. The positive energy from yesterday also remains with us and, once again, it will be a good idea to focus on it. Reread yesterday, and make the most of it. Another major energy today is related to yesterday’s, and serves to add a great deal of positivity to it. Avoiding the cautions that remain and going for the right things can yield great benefits. This will again be a high-energy social Saturday night. Choose well.

Sunday, Aug. 1—Late Saturday night social scenes will be highly energized through today’s predawn. The high positive energy from yesterday will remain with us through today. Reread yesterday, and make the best possible use of it. Another major energy today sheds light on relationships, but things can go either way with it. Take a friendly and cooperative approach, but watch for some people to react badly to things that come to light. If problems pop up, then switch to damage control. Don’t let minor disputes escalate, which they can easily do with the wrong choices. The predawn is open, but the early-through-mid-morning may have minor spacey irritability. Watch the late afternoon for erratic emotional responses and relationship issues as this is when the major energy is most likely to ignite. Moods should improve through the late night, but be aware that the moon will be void of course from 10:53 tonight well into tomorrow’s predawn.

Monday, Aug. 2—Last night’s moon void of course period ends at 3:12 this morning when the moon enters Taurus. At that point, the energy will lift and general moods will tend to become more down-to-earth and concerned with enjoyment. The cautionary relationship energy from yesterday will remain with us through today. Reread and apply the warnings. Be aware of three more major energies today. The first can be very good for initiating projects involving energy, power, science, technology and magic. This is go-for-it energy in all of these areas. The second is very good for making new beginnings in relationships and aesthetic issues. Those who dealt well with yesterday’s energy will be in a good place to make use of this. Those who had problems will need to make good use of it. Take a disciplined approach, think long term and work toward building trust and a solid base. Minor energies are very mixed through the day, and moods will swing. Watch the late night for the potential for some very bad moods. This may be a good night to turn in early.

Tuesday, Aug. 3—Yesterday’s positive energy for making new beginnings in a variety of areas will remain with us through today. Reread and apply. Be aware of three more major energies. The first is related to yesterday’s first, and greatly increases the power of it. More power and energy will be available today than many people will know what to do with. Make good use of it, but try to keep things in perspective, and don’t get too carried away. The second is related, but is among the most cautionary there is and is greatly inflated by the first, making it all the more dangerous. Watch for secret and coercive activities up to, and including, violence. Do not let minor disputes escalate, and under no circumstances allow yourself to be drawn into altercations with strangers. Incidents that get out of control can go wildly awry and to surprising extremes. This combination of energies will lead to headlines. Most of us will not get that caught up in all of this, but you certainly do not want to be among those who do. The third stimulates more activity in relationships. This can be positive, but there can also be a compulsive component to it, and it is connected to the high cautions. Wise choices are seriously indicated.
