Ok my Astro- Bloggers....get ready!!!
August 2 to August 26, the planetary trickster Mercury, will be retrograde again!
Remember this is the time when the planet Mercury appears to be moving backwards?
Since Mercury rules communication and motion, when it goes retrograde, messages get muddled, details get blurred, and technical difficulties get triggered.
Along with the breaking down of machinery that has been just limping along?
Sounds like annoying period of time? It certainly can be? Or if you happen to be one of those lucky people born with a Mercury in retrograde, this can be YOUR time of moving forward at last.
But most of us will experience a few weeks when it seems impossible to make any real progress. However, there is a positive side and purpose for the planet Mercury being retrograde.
And that is dealing with the past. As you will find yourself bumping into old friends or at the very least thinking about them? Even maybe rehashing mistakes that you made in the past with them?
Hopefully giving you the motivation to correct past actions? Making our communications more significant, though difficult!
Or is it at last the time for you to repair family feuds? Whatever the case, you will find yourself doing a lot of reminiscing?
What you must try to avoid is not to make important decissions? Because when Mercury is moving backwards we move backwards too, by changing our minds!
So heads -up everyone...think make up...not breakup, and post pone important decissions.
More later, my Bloggers...and remember when things are going haywire? Just ..."Blame It On The Stars"!!!

To keep you informed this week, here is some...
More Astrological NEWS from...Astrology.com
As July comes to a close, a host of star transits is set to reveal unexpected opportunities for you. All this astrological action will also boost your love life, improve your communications and bring new beginnings - and that's just the short list!
It all begins on July 27, when the Sun gives experimental Uranus an encouraging nudge. That's all Uranus needs to bestow you with exciting new opportunities begging to be seized. Positive change doesn't come much more easily than this!
Then, on July 28, Venus joins the Sun in Leo for a lovely tryst that will color your life with a romantic glow. Venus loves parties and frivolity, and when paired with flamboyant, extravagant Leo, you'll be able to charm everyone in sight.
Not one to be left out, Mercury will also join the spotlight on July 28, when it moves into Virgo. You'll finally get the chance to finish all those seemingly smaller tasks, and your discussions will enjoy practical, satisfying outcomes. If you can avoid becoming bogged down with trivial details, your life will speed along swimmingly!
July 29 will see a temporary sag in energy as Mercury opposes Neptune. Your creative juices will be flowing, but you'll be too easily distracted to make real strides. Don't waste time trying to get (or give) straight answers to questions at this time -- it just won't happen.
Finally, on July 30, the Moon cozies up to the Leo Sun for a new Moon that will bring fresh beginnings, hints of new romances and a whirlwind of social activity. Let your inner light shine and show the world how talented you are! So many opportunities to Seize.
All important news: About aspects that you should try to use in a positive way!!!
Also try to remember to keep in mind... that the time of the new moon, always sets the trend for the next four weeks.
I'll have more to tell you soon...on... "Blame it on the Stars"

Sunday, July 24, 2011
Hello, all my faithful Bloggers...Vacation time for me is over and I am back to help you, Blame it all on the Stars!!! Thank you for being patient, I hope you did not feel deserted? Because these last few weeks have been quite the astrological ride....
With some signs, like Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn experiencing some surprises, and they weren't all pleasant ones!
However, nature has changed the script with the Sun's new entrance into Leo, on July 23, bringing newly found motivation, towards real accomplishments! But... it is up to each of us to "use" this new motivation. And our egos will be the deciding factor.
Also for the month of August, from the 3rd to the 27th...expect and prepare for some aggravations around breakdowns in communication, things that have a motor, and are mechanical? Yes! It is another Mercury in retrograde cycle that I am warning you about.
And there is lots more, that I want to tell you about how the Stars could be effecting your August. It is good to be back...I'll be writing to you again soon...But in the mean time... right now, July 24, check out what Astrology.com has to say!
Some more... astrological news from, Astrology.com
The sensitive Cancer Sun has been jarred, jerked and jolted by Pluto, Uranus and Saturn these last couple weeks, and it's resulted in a fairly bumpy month so far. But on July 23, as the Sun moves into fiery and flamboyant Leo, all the emotional turmoil will fade and you'll be excited to embrace everything the Universe throws your way!
Sitting comfortably in the fun-loving sign it rules, the Sun in Leo exudes confidence and a distinct joie de vivre. Leo is a sign that loves to party and socialize, and it wants nothing to do with the negative side of life! As such, you'll find that evens if problems arise, they'll simply roll off your back and you'll be able to move on without even breaking stride.
These good times may not come cheaply, as Leo loves to live a five-star life. Still, right now fortune definitely favors the bold, so don't be afraid to grab life by the horns. Do everything with extra flair -- and have the fun flaunting it!
Leo may enjoy being the center of attention and putting on a show for all to see, but this sign is also about being true to oneself.

More Astrological News...from Astrology.com
Over the next few days, sweet Venus will move into protective Cancer and align itself with four different planets. Without a doubt, this is quite the recipe for an emotional roller coaster ride, but don't worry too much -- even though this ride may have its trying moments, it'll be lots of fun!
Venus gears up for action on July 4 when it glides into Cancer, bringing harmony to your family affairs; in fact, you'll find that you'll be more interested in intimate, cozy events than big parties or social scenes. Later that same day, an air of romantic dreaminess will surround you as Venus blows an affectionate kiss to Neptune. If you keep your lovelorn daydreams somewhat grounded, they just might come true!
Then, on July 7 and 9, prepare for the ride to get a bit bumpier. First, Venus squares off against Uranus in a confusing, though possibly enlightening alignment; then, on July 9, Venus opposes Pluto in a passionate, yet challenging aspect. Fortunately, July 9 ends with Venus cozying up to friendly Jupiter, which will leave you in a jovial and warm-hearted mood.
You can also expect a few other planets to pop up during this cosmically wild time. On July 5, Mercury tips its hat to Uranus and Jupiter, adding sparkle and enthusiasm to your day. On July 7, Jupiter and Pluto get together in an aspect that's sure to lend you the confidence to bring your best ideas to life!

Astrology.com Has this to say about our, July 1, 2011 Solar Eclipses!
Solar eclipses normally occur every six months, but on occasion, two eclipses will fall practically right on top of each other and encourage you to make important life changes. And that's exactly what's about to happen!
The Universe welcomed June with a solar eclipse at the start of that month -- and the same thing is happening again in July. The cosmic purpose of an eclipse is to help you improve and develop specific aspects of your life, and since these events can involve major changes, experiencing two in a row definitely presents a challenge.
While June 1's eclipse was in Gemini and all about communication, July 1's solar eclipse occurs in home-centered Cancer, so it's no surprise that it will shine a spotlight on family issues and matters of the heart. If you can focus your energies on these areas of your life, you'll surely emerge more satisfied and fulfilled.
However, this month's eclipse is anything but ordinary: The eclipsed Sun also opposes Pluto and squares off with Aries and Saturn, so expect to feel pulled in four different directions!
How can you best handle this? For starters, don't try to tackle every problem in front of you; instead, step back and carefully assess what's manageable. Only concern yourself with issues you know you can fix, and let everything else fall away. Just keep in mind that it won't take long for things to pick up again - and once they do, you'll feel better for having accomplished what you did!

Still on a needed vacation, but here is.....
ASTROLOGY.COM'S MONTHLY HIGHLIGHTS...
Enjoy the Sun's transit through Cancer. June 21-July 23
June 21: The Sun enters Cancer
The Sun's entrance into this protective sign marks the Summer Solstice, and since a powerful solar eclipse will occur in this sign next week, you're likely to feel more emotional than usual -- especially with matters concerning the well-being of those with whom you're closest. This sign is famous for its compassion and nurturing ways, making this a wonderful time to be reminded of the importance of family, hearth and home -- and a lovely time to count your blessings!
June 21: Mars squares Neptune
Mars's entrance into talkative Gemini is influenced this year by Neptune's placement in Pisces. What may have been straightforward last year is anything but that this year! Your current environment is nebulous and new, and the previous road signs and landmarks no longer exist. You'll have to be very creative, thoughtful and aware to advance your cause now, and you can do it if you adapt quickly to all the changing circumstances. The current climate is akin to watching a surfer who knows how to ride a wave, so practice fluidity to help yourself succeed!
July 1: Solar eclipse in Cancer
Over the last week, you've probably already felt the drama of this eclipse since it falls in such a sensitive sign! But since it occurs at the south node, the tricky part of this particular eclipse is to take care of your own security needs without going overboard. All solar eclipses occur at a new Moon, so this marks a dramatic beginning for you. If you're familiar with your chart, examine the house in which this eclipse lands for more information; also, keep in mind that eclipses often herald major messages, so expect bold headlines and plenty of breaking news!
July 1: Mercury enters Leo
Since Mercury, the communication planet, enters the sign of bold Leo the same day as the solar eclipse, plan on receiving plenty of dramatic announcements. It seems as if everyone has something to say, with topics centering largely on issues of leadership, respect and who's getting the lion's share of attention. This is a great time to speak up and get your message out; just keep in mind the possibility that your message may be eclipsed. If your intuition tells you to wait, however, choose another day. And, as always with this placement, give the same kind of respect you wish to receive.
July 3: Venus enters Cancer
Enough chatting! As Venus leaves talkative Gemini and enters feeling-oriented Cancer, it's time to cozy up and tend to the emotional needs of your loved ones. Need some ideas? Cook your sweetheart a special meal, or make reservations for the two of you at your favorite restaurant. Plan a fun family activity, or write a love letter to your partner. This transit is all about opening your heart, taking a dip in the world of feeling and giving your mind a rest.
July 6: Mars trines Saturn
This is an excellent aspect to occur so closely to Jupiter's trine to Pluto (see below) -- it helps you take care of smaller details as you advance your bigger plans for the future. This Mars-Saturn combination is known for the kind of hard work that brings rewards. After all, Mars in Gemini is the quintessential salesperson, while Saturn in Libra reminds you to be fair and improve your social skills. If you use this beneficial time well, you'll be able to accomplish more than you think is possible!
July 7: Jupiter trines Pluto
"Success magnified" is the motto for this fortunate combination! Make sure you get out into the world, because powerful, prestigious and influential people are willing to help you right now. It's time to showcase your enthusiasm with Jupiter's placement in earthy Taurus, and with Pluto in Capricorn, you'll want to demonstrate your ambition and willingness to work hard. Believe in yourself ... and others will, too!
July 9: Uranus turns retrograde
Expect a few fireworks as freedom-focused Uranus turns retrograde in Aries, a sign that symbolizes the pioneer and the warrior! Forget about trying to make your world stable -- this time is all about change. Until December 9 (when Uranus turns direct), review the areas of your life where you'll benefit by moving out of old ruts and away from outmoded mindsets. And be sure to make yourself extra-flexible, as your routines and schedules are likely to change more than once. When you think about it, is your life so perfect that it couldn't use a bit of change? After all, times like these are made for those who know how to adapt to changing circumstances.
July 11: Mercury sextiles Mars
This aspect describes an animated conversation and is a perfect aspect for planning a party or any fun event. Mercury's placement in dramatic Leo and Mars in talkative Gemini provides plenty of opportunities to take your projects and plans to a higher level. People are friendly and willing to help you, so do everything you can right now to maximize the possibilities!
July 13: Venus squares Saturn
Love planet Venus in cozy Cancer loves to nurture, protect and swim in the feeling-world. Rule-making Saturn in Libra, however, is concerned with the boundaries associated with social relationships, fairness and the mind-world. When these two meet in a square aspect, your relationships will be tested. But through it all, you're likely to find clarity about what you want from your relationship ... and what you don't.
July 14: Full Moon in Capricorn
The last new Moon, on July 1, was a solar eclipse in Cancer, the sign of home and family; at that time, your top priority was focusing on your own security. The culmination of this full Moon in Capricorn, the sign of ambition and career, shifts attention to your worldly activities. How can you provide for yourself and your loved ones? With all the rebellious and revolutionary activity in the world recently, this is a good time to take care of basics.

Hello all my favorite.... "Blame It On The Stars", Astrology fans.
Those stars are giving me a needed vacation. So instead of just leaving this page blank and not up-to- date, for a few weeks. I have decided to turn to one of my favorite, Astrology sites... "Astrology.com", to keep you informed about the most important celestial happenings as we greet this new month of June 2011...
Hope you enjoy it and find it helpful? All Cut and pasted for you, from...
ASTROLOGY.COM'S MONTHLY HIGHLIGHTS: GEMINI
June 1: Solar Eclipse in Gemini
How much information is too much information? With a partial solar eclipse in Gemini occurring close to that sign's south node, you may feel like your mind is speeding along like a hamster on an exercise wheel! As always, eclipse periods indicate dramatic world events, so watch for plenty of breaking news that might make you shake your head and wonder if we should all be reminded of our Miranda Rights ('You have the right to remain silent ...'). On the other hand, this fountain of information may be just what you need to be successful. Saturn in Libra trines this new Moon eclipse, which shows that someone in authority is there to help you with your plans. Keep your eyes and ears open!
June 2: Mercury enters Gemini
Mercury in its home sign of Gemini usually likes nothing better than to chat, read the news and run errands. However, with the immediate square to nebulous Neptune in the first degree of sensitive Pisces, you'll be better off if you sit quietly and meditate or commune with nature before you go about your daily business. Minimize distractions whenever possible so you can hone in on ideas and contacts that are most important to you.
June 3: Neptune turns retrograde
Today marks the first time that spiritual Neptune turns retrograde since entering Pisces on April 4. Pay close attention to the themes currently emerging in your life since you'll be working with them for the next 14 years! Retrogrades are always about returning to previous territory to more fully assimilate your experiences, and since this one occurs at zero degrees of Pisces, any planet in your birth chart at zero degrees will receive a message from Neptune. Don't expect much logic or material sensibility from this mystical planet. As you focus on your personal plans, maintain a big-picture view and do what you can to develop a more spiritual life; you can also help yourself by becoming more inclusive of others. And as always, for extra insight, examine the house in your own chart through which Neptune is traveling.
June 4: Jupiter enters Taurus
Jupiter is a worldview-shifter that directs your attention to new philosophical, social and economic themes. Each time this enormous planet changes its sign, it offers a new lens through which to view the world. Jupiter spends one year in each of the twelve Sun signs, so it's certainly been a while since it has transited through Taurus! As Jupiter leaves fiery Aries and enters Taurus, a sensible Earth sign ruling money and values, all discussions -- global, local and personal -- will focus on getting your financial ducks in a row. Pay attention to those areas of your life you wish to make more secure in order to reap the most benefits from this transit. And if you know through which house this optimistic planet is transiting in your own chart, take steps to expand your sphere of influence in that life area.
June 8: Jupiter sextiles Neptune
When these two planets connect with each other, people come up with great big visions. Jupiter is one of the two social planets (the other is Saturn), while Neptune is a collective planet with a global influence. Perhaps you have a plan to serve humanity in some way, or to create something the world has never seen. This transit marks a highly idealistic time, and one in which your spirituality may move to the foreground. Connections between these two planets also seem to coincide with floods -- so take sensible precautions!
June 9: Venus enters Gemini
June 10: Venus squares Neptune
Since Neptune entered Pisces on April 4 and remains in zero degrees of this sign until the first week of August, once each planet enters a new sign, it immediately makes contact with Neptune's magical, yet nebulous energy. Venus, the planet of love, enters curious and talkative Gemini, which means you'll want to get out of the house, meet new people and cultivate fresh experiences. If you're presently in a relationship, come up with a plan to get yourself and your partner out of your day-to-day routines -- it's time to mix things up! If you're single, attend events where you're bound to meet interesting people. Just remember to keep your feet on the ground ... and if you're convinced you've met your soul mate, ask a friend for feedback and a reality check!
June 12: Saturn turns direct
Finally, some forward movement! Saturn has been retrograde since January 26, but now that it's changing direction, your projects and plans begin to gain momentum. If you keep your eye on the ball and plan well, you'll gain traction by the end of the month. Decide now what you want to be responsible for, as well as what you need to let others do. Your Saturn motto for this month is, Discipline and inspiration bring success! For much more information, be sure to look at your birth chart to see where Saturn is currently located.
June 15: Lunar eclipse in Sagittarius
Since the transiting north node is currently in Sagittarius, all eclipses in this Fire sign help you create a bigger and better vision for you and your life. Don't allow yourself to be distracted by conversations or extraneous thoughts that may divert you from your path. You know what you want, so remain faithful to your life philosophy. This lunar eclipse heightens emotions, and there are those who may try to sway you to their point of view. Listen carefully for information that can help you, and do your best to emulate the tree that bends -- but doesn't break -- in the wind.
June 16: Mercury enters Cancer and trines Neptune
Feeling sentimental? As communicative Mercury leaves chatty Gemini to enter this Water sign, thoughts are colored by emotions. Put your rational, logical mind in hibernation for now and speak from your heart. This is a wonderful transit for going through old letters or photo albums -- memories from the distant past can comfort you now. You may even want to contact a family member you haven't spoken with in a while. Sharing your innermost thoughts with those close to you will feel especially rewarding now. Also, Neptune's connection with Mercury enhances sensitivity and empathy, making this a great time to mend fences.
June 17: Venus trines Saturn
This aspect not only helps stabilize your relationships, but brings support from people who hold positions of authority. Use this time to socialize and advance your personal and business relationships. It seems like everybody loves you now, so take advantage of all the good will!
June 20: Mars enters Gemini
Mars is both a warrior and an advocate. When this planet is placed in such a vocal sign, you and everybody else have plenty to say! This is a wonderful placement for debating the merits of an idea or getting your message out into the world -- as long as you don't get too pushy. If you have an idea to sell, you can be quite persuasive now. To succeed, though, you'll have to know when to back off; otherwise, an energetic discussion can easily turn argumentative, which may sabotage the very thing you're trying to advance.
Enjoy the Sun's transit through Gemini!

Hope you enjoy it and find it helpful? All Cut and pasted for you, from...
ASTROLOGY.COM'S MONTHLY HIGHLIGHTS: GEMINI
June 1: Solar Eclipse in Gemini
How much information is too much information? With a partial solar eclipse in Gemini occurring close to that sign's south node, you may feel like your mind is speeding along like a hamster on an exercise wheel! As always, eclipse periods indicate dramatic world events, so watch for plenty of breaking news that might make you shake your head and wonder if we should all be reminded of our Miranda Rights ('You have the right to remain silent ...'). On the other hand, this fountain of information may be just what you need to be successful. Saturn in Libra trines this new Moon eclipse, which shows that someone in authority is there to help you with your plans. Keep your eyes and ears open!
June 2: Mercury enters Gemini
Mercury in its home sign of Gemini usually likes nothing better than to chat, read the news and run errands. However, with the immediate square to nebulous Neptune in the first degree of sensitive Pisces, you'll be better off if you sit quietly and meditate or commune with nature before you go about your daily business. Minimize distractions whenever possible so you can hone in on ideas and contacts that are most important to you.
June 3: Neptune turns retrograde
Today marks the first time that spiritual Neptune turns retrograde since entering Pisces on April 4. Pay close attention to the themes currently emerging in your life since you'll be working with them for the next 14 years! Retrogrades are always about returning to previous territory to more fully assimilate your experiences, and since this one occurs at zero degrees of Pisces, any planet in your birth chart at zero degrees will receive a message from Neptune. Don't expect much logic or material sensibility from this mystical planet. As you focus on your personal plans, maintain a big-picture view and do what you can to develop a more spiritual life; you can also help yourself by becoming more inclusive of others. And as always, for extra insight, examine the house in your own chart through which Neptune is traveling.
June 4: Jupiter enters Taurus
Jupiter is a worldview-shifter that directs your attention to new philosophical, social and economic themes. Each time this enormous planet changes its sign, it offers a new lens through which to view the world. Jupiter spends one year in each of the twelve Sun signs, so it's certainly been a while since it has transited through Taurus! As Jupiter leaves fiery Aries and enters Taurus, a sensible Earth sign ruling money and values, all discussions -- global, local and personal -- will focus on getting your financial ducks in a row. Pay attention to those areas of your life you wish to make more secure in order to reap the most benefits from this transit. And if you know through which house this optimistic planet is transiting in your own chart, take steps to expand your sphere of influence in that life area.
June 8: Jupiter sextiles Neptune
When these two planets connect with each other, people come up with great big visions. Jupiter is one of the two social planets (the other is Saturn), while Neptune is a collective planet with a global influence. Perhaps you have a plan to serve humanity in some way, or to create something the world has never seen. This transit marks a highly idealistic time, and one in which your spirituality may move to the foreground. Connections between these two planets also seem to coincide with floods -- so take sensible precautions!
June 9: Venus enters Gemini
June 10: Venus squares Neptune
Since Neptune entered Pisces on April 4 and remains in zero degrees of this sign until the first week of August, once each planet enters a new sign, it immediately makes contact with Neptune's magical, yet nebulous energy. Venus, the planet of love, enters curious and talkative Gemini, which means you'll want to get out of the house, meet new people and cultivate fresh experiences. If you're presently in a relationship, come up with a plan to get yourself and your partner out of your day-to-day routines -- it's time to mix things up! If you're single, attend events where you're bound to meet interesting people. Just remember to keep your feet on the ground ... and if you're convinced you've met your soul mate, ask a friend for feedback and a reality check!
June 12: Saturn turns direct
Finally, some forward movement! Saturn has been retrograde since January 26, but now that it's changing direction, your projects and plans begin to gain momentum. If you keep your eye on the ball and plan well, you'll gain traction by the end of the month. Decide now what you want to be responsible for, as well as what you need to let others do. Your Saturn motto for this month is, Discipline and inspiration bring success! For much more information, be sure to look at your birth chart to see where Saturn is currently located.
June 15: Lunar eclipse in Sagittarius
Since the transiting north node is currently in Sagittarius, all eclipses in this Fire sign help you create a bigger and better vision for you and your life. Don't allow yourself to be distracted by conversations or extraneous thoughts that may divert you from your path. You know what you want, so remain faithful to your life philosophy. This lunar eclipse heightens emotions, and there are those who may try to sway you to their point of view. Listen carefully for information that can help you, and do your best to emulate the tree that bends -- but doesn't break -- in the wind.
June 16: Mercury enters Cancer and trines Neptune
Feeling sentimental? As communicative Mercury leaves chatty Gemini to enter this Water sign, thoughts are colored by emotions. Put your rational, logical mind in hibernation for now and speak from your heart. This is a wonderful transit for going through old letters or photo albums -- memories from the distant past can comfort you now. You may even want to contact a family member you haven't spoken with in a while. Sharing your innermost thoughts with those close to you will feel especially rewarding now. Also, Neptune's connection with Mercury enhances sensitivity and empathy, making this a great time to mend fences.
June 17: Venus trines Saturn
This aspect not only helps stabilize your relationships, but brings support from people who hold positions of authority. Use this time to socialize and advance your personal and business relationships. It seems like everybody loves you now, so take advantage of all the good will!
June 20: Mars enters Gemini
Mars is both a warrior and an advocate. When this planet is placed in such a vocal sign, you and everybody else have plenty to say! This is a wonderful placement for debating the merits of an idea or getting your message out into the world -- as long as you don't get too pushy. If you have an idea to sell, you can be quite persuasive now. To succeed, though, you'll have to know when to back off; otherwise, an energetic discussion can easily turn argumentative, which may sabotage the very thing you're trying to advance.
Enjoy the Sun's transit through Gemini!
