“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” Lao Tzu
Lorna Bevan – This week’s energy flow can best be described as turbulent, wild, edgy, febrile, volatile and unpredictable.
Starting with the Mars/Uranus/Algol conjunction at 26 Taurus exact on July 15th, the Sun square Disruptor Eris on July 17th and culminating under a Full Blue Moon at 29 Capricorn conjunct the Great Eliminator Pluto on July 21st, the stakes have rarely been higher or the power brokering more blatant.
Witness this playing out in the recent Russian bombing of a Ukrainian children’s cancer hospital, the deepening of the India/China/Russia/North Korea axis, revolution in the streets in France as well as record wildfires and temperatures.
On a personal level, we’re all more accident prone now (as I found out on Friday when soap chemicals tore the pupil in my right eye-thanks to Mars/Uranus exactly conjunct my natal Sun/Mars on Algol)
♦ be extra vigilant around fire, driving and metal objects.
♦ stay out of dramas where others are overreacting or threatening violence
♦ be ready for a surge of intense, laser-focused energy and ambition as this plutonic Full Moon fuels your desire to move forward, to make a tangible difference
♦ strip away anything unessential, show up and refuse to feel powerless
Don’t take events personally. Know that this energy is just life, lifeing. Just another metaphorical stretch of white water in an unending repeating cycle of whirlpools, eddies, turbulence, flow, waterfalls, floods and dried up water tables…
Give up the struggle….
We see ourselves as permanent and stable. All our energy goes into trying to protect our supposed separateness by setting up and hanging on to artificial boundaries. But the magic can only come by letting go of clinging to the river bank and letting the Tao take you down the flow of life…
Rather than resisting these whitewater waves, ask yourself: “What is this event, this change, this course adjustment trying to awaken in me? What psychological log jam needs to be shaken free?”

Coaching Prompts For Your Sign
♈ Aries – Your old approach of trying to change or control events through sheer willpower is no longer working. Now’s the moment to update your skills of negotiation, rapport and acceptance of what is.
♉ Taurus – Congratulate yourself for learning to ride the rapids of change during the last 2 years. Now it’s time to start calling it in on your own terms instead of waiting for it to randomly happen to you
♊ Gemini – You’re being asked, nudged and pushed to break open, break through and break out. Start by dropping your need to make logical sense of everything before you act and see what happens.
♋ Cancer – Open your lighted sanctuary to others and they will come. No need to teach, preach or lead, just welcome your growing community of fellow travellers. Its purpose will gradually reveal itself.
♌ Leo – Are you ready to make the shift from chasing after personal recognition and success to offering your many gifts and skills for the benefit of others? What’s the first step?
♍ Virgo – Deliberately expand your circle of influence, your platforms and your world. Find a bigger stage, increase your people landscape and widen your horizons.
♎ Libra – Something or someone important to you may disappear or become suddenly unavailable. Rethink their value to you and reframe your next steps to move on free to make new more aligned choices.
♏ Scorpio – Pay attention to any recurring issues in your closest relationships. What appear to be only small fractures, minor wounds or lines of conflict could suddenly erupt into something much bigger.
♐ Sagittarius – If you collaborate with this burst of unpredictable energy by seizing the moment, you can make a radical breakthrough at work. An old system might collapse so you can sweep the deadwood into the dustbin of history and launch a whole new approach.
♑ Capricorn – The Full Blue Moon in your sign marks a personal highwater mark. Stop and survey your world, noticing what’s good, what’s valuable, what’s worth consolidating. This is your golden thread.
♒ Aquarius – Be extra careful around your home, especially where fire, chemicals or metal are involved. Instead, channel this volatile energy by clearing away the cobwebs – literally and psychologically – and ringing the changes.
♓ Pisces – Stay right out of family, neighbourhood or online arguments-no matter how provoked, refuse to engage. Be alert for a sudden insight, a breakthrough, a discovery that could prove to be gold dust. Make sure you capture it before it disappears into the Cloud.
