YOUR ASTRO COCKTAIL- WEEK OF JULY 27, 2010

Summertime and the livin is easy
(except if you're being hit by a Saturn transit))
Fish are jumpin and the cotton is high (Look out for some Pisces rushing to the mall to buy some cool cotton clothes) Oh your daddy’s rich (Let’s stop here. Big Daddy was most likely born under a beneficial Jupiter transit)
And you ma's good lookin' (Of course she is-she is Still a Babe with a well placed Venus)
Hush little baby and order your wine and martinis dry.
The recent Full Moon in Aquarius gets our ass in gear to look for opportunities to be more humanitarian whether it is towards other people, animals or special causes. Solid, responsible Saturn in the sign of Libra will face off with erratic, impulsive Uranus in Aries this week making us all a little more likely to feel like "cutting class." Mercury is right at home in the sign of Virgo helping us all be a little more discriminating when it comes to watching our words. Buckle your seat belts because Mars rolling through the sign of Libra will cause a hard aspect to the points of the most recent Solar and Lunar eclipses that we had a few weeks ago and finally deliver the end results to something of importance that we have been dealing with. Throw Pluto into the mix and the week ends up revealing the new butterfly that was inside the cocoon. Changes, transformation and the birth of new beginnings all line up this week. Stay cool because you are cool.
