Wet blanket Saturn poses a challenge to Venus (love, beauty and money) at 3:37AM, demanding structure, restriction or some other cold shoulder. Perhaps we’ll see that chill reflected in the financial markets — or in a continuing financial negotiation. Look what just hit the NY Times: “Hope Dwindling for Budget Compromise” http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/13/us/politics/13fiscal.html?_r=1&hp  What a downer. Boooooo!

When the Moon enters enterprising Capricorn at 10:14AM ET, we should notice a decisive shift, especially after the over 24-hour void we experienced yesterday. What will you be working to make happen?  Inspiration may strike you in the morning hours, followed by a jolt, a surprise or other “eureka!’ moment in the late afternoon. Top it off with a strategic power play around 8:34PM ET; celebrate with earthly pleasures a couple of hours later.

Meanwhile, here’s a postcard from yesterday’s long void. Recall the basic premise: moving in a straight line is challenging. The probability of getting lost, wandering or some other twist is elevated. Did this manifest for you? How? One manifestation for me was deciding to take a different route home than I normally do. Instead of heading down the West Side Highway, I went down the FDR Drive. I was dropped off at the foot of the Roosevelt Island Tramway — which I’ve never been in, despite living in NY for ten years. What could be a more perfect time for a spontaneous travel adventure than Moon void of course in Sagittarius? If you’ve never seen the East River from this Tramway, I urge you to do it. Absolutely breath-taking. Definitely broadened my horizons, even if the twist in my usual routine did take half an hour longer to reach my destination.
