STAR WISE July / August 2019
Okay kiddies here’s the scoop. This column covers July and August. In July we have a solar and lunar eclipse to contend with, then in August Mercury stations right on the lunar eclipse degree. Hmmm, sounds a tad ominous. Eclipses have always struck fear into our collective psyche. As we all know there are several eclipses every year, and they pass without doing much harm to most of us. It’s the same thing with all planetary phenomena, some of it will affect some people in the negative, and others may very well benefit from the same planetary alignment. It really all depends on how the planets are affected in our personal birth horoscopes. Then again, there is such a thing as collective karma in which a whole nation can suffer through disastrous and calamitous events, such as Chernobyl, and the major earthquakes, and floods etc. The fact of the matter is that we are living and existing in the plane of duality, and specifically on the Earth in which there has always been wars, plagues, volcanos, diseases, tsunamis, etc. It is that way, and always will be that way, but then one day we move on up into the more rarified, etherial, and spiritual planes of existence in which there is more light, more love, and more peace. This is the training ground in which we learn to live, love and forgive, or create more karmic indebtedness ad infinity until we get it right and earn the right to the passage to the higher realms of consciousness. AS the great mystics have taught us, we cannot change the past, and future will never come, but we can live in successive moments of now and make conscious decisions about how we will live and behave. Yes there is the law of karma, which is inexorable and unchangeable. There is also the law of mercy and grace and they supersede all laws. So in essence there is always hope, there is always God’s love and mercy and for sure, for sure, we are on our way home high above the starry sky beyond countless suns, moons, galaxies, universes and other planes of existence. As the great Master Param Sant Kirpal Singh Ji Maharaj has said that one day the world will be run by the Khalsa. Which means that it will be run by truly enlightened beings. We can relax, enjoy, love, serve, work hard, pray, meditate, give and forgive, feed the children, help those that we can, and by the by we will get to our destination and true eternal home. Love one another right now.
ARIES
MARCH 21 – April 19
The July eclipses take place in your solar fourth and tenth houses, which relate to home, family and career activities. We think of family as our kin folk, but in reality we are all family and it is your time to give your love and service to them. August bodes well. A time of fun and adventure.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 21
Communication, travel and just an exceptionally demanding time comes up. There may be some hitches and glitches along the way especially in the first half of July, and big changes may come your way. Family and real estate figure strongly in August and you may be pondering it all on a deep level.
GEMINI
May 22 – June 20
It’s time to get your feet wet, actually just jump into the deep end of the pool. You will be busy, maybe too much so. Home, family, relationships, finances, and health all need to be looked at and squared up in July. August provides some relief, fun and good times with friends and family.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
The karma gods are hard at work dreaming up all kinds of scenarios that will manifest through July and August.

LEO
July 23 – August 22

August 23 – September 22
It’s time to get out and about. Round up the crew, and enjoy times with friends and family. August isn’t a cake walk, and a lot is going on behind the scene. Take time to share time with those that need your love and support. Take care of your health, and it will take care of you.

CAPRICORN
December 22 – January 19
Everything is stirred up in the July time, signalling that it is high time for important changes to take place. Nothing comes your way that wasn’t deserved or earned somewhere in the hoary past. Patience and fortitude, faith, compassion and love bring you to the distant shore safely. Let, go, and let God.
AQUARIUS
January 20 – February 19
Gets your ducks lined up, and get things organized best that you can. First get out of the tub and dry off the ducks. (Oh I love Aquarians) they’re quirky as can be. August is another story, get your shoulder pads and helmet on, and make ready to do battle. When the smoke clears, a new reality sets in.
PISCES
February 20 – March 20
God saved his best for last. Yep that’s you. You have the wisdom of the other eleven signs combined within you. You just need to learn how to tap into it. Don’t be too flustered with things you cannot control. Just know that it’s all coming down according to God’s will.
