By the time you read this it will be old news, at the rate events are\u00a0moving.\u00a0 A standout event of the last few days was the appearance of father\u00a0and son Murdoch in front of the Culture, Media and\u00a0Sport Select Committee last Tuesday. Their body language was captured\u00a0by media Psychologist Peter Collett in the Guardian.\u00a0 He analyzed Rupert Murdoch\u2019s posture (intending to show he was fully involved), his pauses (showing a dominant individual) and his table-tapping \u201c- a sure sign that he\u2019s used to giving commands\u201d.\u00a0 Apparently James Murdoch was a \u201cmodel of courtesy\u201d, making sure by eye contact that all committee members felt included.\u00a0 Peter Collett (author of \u201cHow to Read People\u2019s Minds from their Actions\u201d) concludes his article with a quip about the custard pie moment.\u00a0 I was musing myself whether there might be a call for an Emergency Biscuit.*\u00a0 Something else which is going on meanwhile in the world, and more difficult to identify astrologically, are babies (and adults) dying from famine, specifically highlighted in Somalia at this present time.\u00a0 Somalia currently has Uranus transiting its Ascendant, and squaring its Sun\/Venus on the cusp of its 4th<\/sup> House which conjunction is opposed by transiting Pluto on its 10th<\/sup> House cusp (forming a difficult T-square composed of transiting and natal elements).\u00a0 The Somali Civil War, which began in 1991 and the consequences of which are being felt to this day, occurred with Saturn opposite Somalia\u2019s Mercury in 4th<\/sup> House, and Neptune on its Saturn in 10th<\/sup> House.\u00a0 Out of Somalia came one Rageh Omaar, born in 1967, the son of a wealthy businessman. <\/strong>He has the North Node in Taurus – the karmic mission to be an anchor or rock. We do not know his Ascendant, but Jupiter is currently trine Venus, the ruler of his North Node, and perhaps helping to expand his karmic mission. <\/strong>In his past lives he would have been accustomed to danger as a warrior with South Node in Scorpio conjunct Mars in Libra (perhaps as a go-between). <\/strong>His present karmic mission seems to be to translate Islam for us through the 3-part television series \u201cMohammed\u201d, beautifully shown by transiting Neptune (spiritual aspect) trine his natal Mars and this year also to trine the South Node, and sextile the North Node. <\/strong>Transiting Saturn sextile his Jupiter (religion) give him the stability at this time but also the sense of responsibility (in a television interview he was aware of the difficulties of his role). <\/strong>Who can forget his steady, spellbinding and reassuring presence reporting day after day during the Iraq War in 2003?\u00a0 He does have significant links with Iraq chartwise.\u00a0 At the time of that war, Neptune (Spiritual Protection) was exactly sextile his natal Saturn (Responsibility), enabling him to endure this mission.\u00a0 He says of his time there “We ran around, we did pieces on weapons inspectors, Saddam, the regime, and almost nothing about Iraqi people.” I always saw him as a hero, and I am sure many others did.\u00a0 If you have missed the first two parts of his current programme, you can see the third and final part on Tuesday 26th<\/sup> July at 9 p.m. on BBC2.\u00a0 We have another week now where the aspects begin in the middle of the week. Take note of\u00a0how that was for you last week. Fixed star focus for the week is\u00a0the Praesape Cluster (M44) in Cancer which has a short description in \u201cStarlight Elixirs\u201d by Michael Smulkis and Fred Rubenfeld, so I might as well quote the whole paragraph: <\/strong>\u201cThe primary energy here is in assisting individuals to fully accept loss, to release it, and to understand the great gifts of what one does not need any longer.\u00a0 This is a way of surrender and trust in the God-force.\u00a0 At a deeper level, most people will discover that a sense of what is needed created in them, as well as a sense of what is not needed.\u00a0 Priorities can shift to spiritual levels, so the true God-nature of the priorities emerge.\u201d On Wednesday (27th<\/sup>) after you have assessed your spiritual priorities the Sun in Leo trines Uranus in Aries, so this may give a boost to revolutionaries around the world, and any attempts you are making to revolutionize the areas in your life affected by this aspect.\u00a0 If you know your birthchart, you can take a look at which houses the two planets are currently occupying to see which areas of your life can take a shift together.\u00a0 On Thursday (28th<\/sup>) Venus enters Leo, boosting our Leo fire supply, and eagerness to party and to extract joy from our life\u2019s experiences.\u00a0 A little later on the same day, Mercury leaves Leo and enters Virgo.\u00a0 There is a short, exactly 3-hour window, (in the UK it is between 2.59 pm and 5.59 p.m.) when Venus, the Sun and Mercury are all in Leo and you can make hay while the sun shines.\u00a0 When Mercury enters Virgo, you might feel the call of your paperwork or other tasks which need attention.\u00a0 Mentally, you would be more inclined to focus, and be more practical.\u00a0 But an aspect the next day (Friday 29th<\/sup>) will make it difficult to keep distractions at bay \u2013 this is an opposition to Mercury from Neptune.\u00a0 It could be a case that you have so much to do that life is complicated.\u00a0 You may have an imminent wedding to plan, for instance, which requires your energies at all sorts of different levels.\u00a0 You may have to call in the wedding planning Angels if so, to help you on the higher levels while you focus on the paperwork, such as paying the caterers.\u00a0 You may be lucky, in that all will come together the next day (Saturday 30th<\/sup>) as it is a New Moon and blue moon at 7 degrees Leo, and therefore good for weddings or other large-scale functions and activities, such as film directing (did I tell you a lot of Film Directors are born under Leo?\u00a0 I have?\u00a0 Oh sorry, it is one of my fave astro-facts\u2026).\u00a0 Now, blogging about Astrology takes up a bit of my time, and although Past Life therapy is a good proportion of my work it rarely gets a look-in comparatively in\u00a0my blog. Which is why I am grateful to fellow Astroblogger Joyce Mason, who has written a lip-smacking article on her Radical Virgo blog\u00a0entitled \u201cThe Great Flow Charters in the Sky”. \u00a0It’s all about how she recognized\u00a0the hand of reincarnation working throughout her life. \u00a0Here\u2019s the link to a great read http:\/\/www.radicalvirgo.com\/2011\/07\/great-flow-charters-in-sky.html<\/a> if you are thirsty to know more about Past Lives.\u00a0 Have a good week, and enjoy the wedding season, or home-entertainment-for-schoolkids-season, whichever applies!<\/p>\n
