THE ORACLE The language of astrology For thousands of years astrology has been pro- viding individuals with insight and guidance. The subject of Astrology is vast, and though a lot of it can be quickly filed under G, in my personal view, astrology has serious merit. Astrology reveals an order in the universe; it does not predict, but rather suggests character strengths and weak- nesses. Our relationship with the stars can reveal our subtle tendencies and provide insight into our cosmic journey. The 12 signs, ten planets, five aspects and four angles compose the basis of the astro- logical foundation. The Sun represents ist marks a new beginning; your shell is coming off. Look within for love and compassion. Allow your creativity to manifest. Say what you feel and trust your perceptions. Leo Summer is coming, time to party and have fun. Your boat is docking. Remember to be open-mind- ed and remember that advice is only that-say thank you, consider it, and then decide for yourself. You feel more talkative now than usual, but let oth- your mind, or it will master you. Libra Gentle, caring, balanced. Spend some time with yourself. Your friends can manage without you right now. It is a good time for an impulsiv indulgence. Enjoy the ride and have fun. Scorpio Stubborn, persistent, deep and unyielding. Your greatest service is to humanity. Your power can rejuvenate the emotional body. Your the self and _. its expression; Mercury-thinking, thoughts and com- munication; Venus—feelings and desire; Moon-emotions and moods; Mars—will, action and movement; Jupiter—higher thoughts and expansion; Saturn—struc- ture and discipline; Uranus—energy and change; Neptune—depth of thought and dreams; Pluto—transfor- mation and renewal.
