Wow it is the last week of the month already? Ugh. Summer, what we had of it, is flying...

Mine:

"ext watch July 10 when there will be a rare and very celebratory meeting of Jupiter, planet of good fortune, with Neptune, patron of all creative efforts, both in your sign, Aquarius. Neptune also happens to rule your second house of earned income, so with Jupiter shining his light on your salary house, you may see a new source of income come in near this date, or you may get a raise or sell something expensive, such as artwork, the idea for a new digital game, or any other innovative creation. If you work in a creative field, you certainly will be at the right place at the right time. What makes this so delicious is that you won't see any of this coming, so it will be a nice surprise." -- Um, not so much. I did get kudo and payment for my eHarlequin online read, but that wasn't a surprise. There were a few cash bumps, as she said, but nothing huge or unexpected (still, the payment was for the online read, which is digital, so there's something with that, and it was "artwork" of a sort.).

"Another outstanding time for financial talks will include all the days spanning July 16 through July 20. That's fantastic! In that period you will have Mercury in loving trine aspect to Uranus (July 16), the mighty Sun in divine angle to Uranus (July 18, one of your best days of the month), and Mercury in perfect angle to Mars (July 20). It doesn't matter which day you choose to have a meeting - these will all be four-star days. Some sort of middleman, such as an agent, lawyer, representative, or broker may be very instrumental to your sudden luck." -- This was conf week, which was fun and productive in many ways, but no deals or money. My agent does love a new book idea and I will admit to all meetings I had that week going very well, so I suppose this is generally in the ballpark. We still didn't focus as much on finances or money etc as much as this scope seems to think.

"You need to prepare now for your next big push forward, which will take place from mid-October to mid-January 2010.

Why did I choose mid-October to mid-January 2010? Let me explain. Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, is touring Aquarius now, for the first time in 12 years. This is very fortunate for you, but Jupiter just went retrograde on June 14 and will stay in sleepy orbit until October 13. A retrograde planet works at a weaker, reduced level. For business projects, you need Jupiter to be moving in a strong, fast orbit, and not retrograde, because Jupiter rules profit and expansion. By mid-October you will have Jupiter just the way you want him to be." -- So it looks like things put in motion this month will come to some kind of fruition in the late fall -- I'll let you know. LOL There are definitely things in the works, and the timing seems right, but my cynical self sometimes wonders if this isn't how these scopes just drag us along, LOL.

"If you are healthy but sheepishly admit you've been doing things that are not good for your health, this solar eclipse will allow you to turn over a new leaf. There is nothing as powerful as a benefic solar eclipse, and that's precisely what you have now. With such strong help, dear Aquarius, it would be a shame not to use it to the max. Do something that's been hard to achieve, such as to get on a regular workout schedule or lose just a few pounds." -- This is true. I was off track for a while, and this month seemed to automatically get back to eating well and working out more, and I did lose 4 lbs, 2 of them at conf.

"This same new moon eclipse may bring some startling changes on the work front. A co-worker (most likely female) may quit, or even be asked to leave due to a downsizing by the company - and if so, you may miss her. (You seem safe, so don't worry about losing your job - the opposite is true, you'll need to work more!)" -- Not me, but describes my husband's month to a tee, except it was a male worker he took over for.

"An interesting side benefit of the eclipse will be that you may decide to add a little pet to your household after July 21. This could be great fun, and the little dog or cat that comes to you may come as a gift or as a little stray that decides to choose you to take care of him." -- We already have four, but there has been a new stray cat in our yard that we have been paying atten to. Very pretty kitty, and we're not sure if she has a home.

"Lastly, lucky you, Venus will be working double time for you on Monday, July 27, and Tuesday, July 28. Venus will blow kisses to Jupiter on the first date and on the latter one, July 28, to Neptune. These are exceedingly glamorous vibrations!" -- Well, we'll see. :) I am happily married and not looking for romance except with hubby, LOL, but we also have both been derailed by trips, company, work, so some alone time this week is definitely on the agenda. I tend to take all of her talk of "romance" as maybe career oriented, too. :)

So, I don't think a huge percentage of this scope hit, but it was generally true in a few areas, specifically true in one or two, and largely off the mark for several paragraphs. She also mentioned working on house things, and while I did clean up a few rooms, and do some work in the gardens it wasn't any major house reno, etc.

I think that is more or less par for the course, though I do hope she's on target about great things happening this fall, though sooner would be nice, too. :)

Ooh, thanks for the reminder, Dee! I'll check mine later on and will report back!
