planet waves horoscopes

This season we have two New Moons in the sign Cancer, and two penumbral eclipses of the Moon (each at the time of the next two Full Moons). This highly unusual combination of solar/lunar events will seem to spin the world on its finger. The first Cancer New Moon coincided with the Cancer ingress of the Sun on June 22 (the solstice), conjunct the asteroid Vesta, the revered erotic high priestesses of Roman mythology. The second New Moon is a total solar eclipse in the last degree of Cancer on July 21. The June 22 New Moon is no ordinary lunation, arriving close to the solstice and consequently touching the Aries Point in a square aspect. This is astrology that seems to push us into an acceleration curve. In the background is the feeling of reaching for deeper and more meaningful connection to the larger world. The sign Cancer is one that is associated with pushing our way into physical incarnation, which we do mostly with our feelings. Yet Vesta teaches an element of detachment, as if we are being called upon to express devotion without much promise of a result. Apropos of Vesta, I would be cautious about offering yourself up for too much sacrifice, and I suggest you keep questioning the whole concept, which A Course in Miracles tells us is the one thing standing between us and our freedom.

My dad said this to me. It cracked me up & I knew I had to use it, so I snooped around in one of my favorite books, “Ethics For The New Millennium” by the Dalai Lama XIV…this is what I found…enjoy!

“There is no denying that our happiness is inextricably bound up with the happiness of others. There is no denying that if society suffers, we ourselves suffer. Nor is there any denying that the more our hearts and minds are afflicted with ill-will, the more miserable we become.”

“Relinquish your envy, let go your desire to triumph over others. Instead, try to benefit them. With kindness, with courage, and confident that in doing so you are sure to meet with success, welcome others with a smile. Be straightforward. And try to be impartial. Treat everyone as if they were a close friend. I say this neither as Dalai Lama nor as someone who has special powers or ability. Of these I have none. I speak as a humble being: one who, like yourself, wishes to be happy and not to suffer.”

“If you cannot, for whatever reason, be of help to others, at least don’t harm them.”

“Try not to turn away from those whose appearance is disturbing, from the ragged and unwell. Try never to think of them as inferior to yourself. If you can, try not even to think of yourself as better than the humblest beggar. You will look the same in your grave.”

Man, the Dalai Lama says the greatest things, and sometimes so does my dad!

*** Breaking News *** Breaking News *** Breaking News *** House Passes Landmark Climate Bill. Stage is Set for Senate Action. Dear Randi, We did it! Moments ago, on a 219 to 212 vote, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the landmark American Clean Energy and Security Act, the most important environmental and energy legislation in our nation’s history. Environmental Defense Action Fund and our broad network of members, activists and strategic partners played a huge role in pushing this bill over the top. You helped generate tens of thousands of emails, thousands of phone calls, dozens of paid ads, and countless legislative contacts with key House members and their staff. EDF President Fred Krupp released the following statement: Today’s vote is a huge achievement for the country and the climate, and we applaud Speaker Pelosi, Chairmen Waxman and Markey, and all members of the House who helped craft this landmark legislation and get it passed. The bill that emerged from the House has the fundamental structure we need to significantly reduce carbon pollution while growing the economy. It puts strong cap on emissions and reorients our energy market to make low-carbon power the goal. It ensures that utility rates will stay affordable and a competitive playing field for U.S. companies. Today’s vote opens the door for President Obama to sign comprehensive climate legislation into law this year. For everything you and the rest of our Action Network community did to help us achieve this historic victory, we can’t thank you enough. This is a day to remember, the day we began turning the corner toward a green energy future — a future free from the catastrophic threats of run-away global warming. We have our work cut out for us in the Senate, but today’s victory gives us real hope of finally signing climate legislation into law. Thanks for your activism and support and for everything you help make possible, – All of us here on the National Climate Campaign
