Weekly Hello

Summer is finally here in Blighty, and I’m about to head to Cornwall for a week’s break. It may not quite meet the description of a break given that I will still be writing, recording and seeing a couple of clients, but I will be in a new space – always regenerating – and overlooking the sea. The sea, the sea, the beautiful sea. And I will take some time out to do holiday things. I promise.

As you might expect on a Sun-Uranus conjunction and with Mars squaring Pluto, in the last twenty-four hours, there have been explosions and expulsions. An undisclosed number of people – officially 90 so far – has been lost in a gas explosion at a coal mine in China’s northern Shanxi province. And halfway around the world in the United States, there has been a series of explosions on Staten Island. Tulsi Gabbard, director of National Intelligence, has resigned, citing her husband’s recent cancer diagnosis. Did she jump or was she pushed is the question on many minds. Certainly, she was excluded from some key national security conversations including Venezuela and Iran. Currently, she is working her way through her Saturn opposition – often a time of discouraging episodes.

Next week may be my break-away and half-term for Britain’s schoolchildren, but astrologically speaking it is far from wall-to-wall sunshine. We have yet to see the full effects of the approaching Mars-Pluto square (exact on Tuesday) and Venus is also set to square Saturn on Friday. And if their combined themes of reckonings and realities isn’t enough, there is a full moon in Sagittarius to look forward to on Sunday. I shall be posting a video on that full moon later today.
