July / August Stargazer


Welcome to a power-packed few months by Stella Woods


BEATING THE MIDWINTER BLUES Welcome to the chilly winds of midwinter, and with four of the slower moving planets in retrograde motion, you may wonder if life has truly come to a standstill.

MARS IN LEO – LIFE IN THE FAST LANE Mars leaves Cancer on the 20th July, travelling through dramatic and charismatic fire sign Leo until early September in what might just be a match made in heaven (imagine driving a Mercedes convertible down the highway at high speed with the wind in your hair). And given that the sun and karmic north node will be Mars’ travelling companions for a large chunk of this seven-week period, there’s certainly no excuse for idling on the sidelines… (see sun-Mars conjunction below)
