The Stars This Week: "Home Improvement" - June 30 - July 6, 2008

[I Have A Dream]

Home Improvement

06/30/08 - 07/06/08

This week's energy is all about two highly compatible signs. First, Mars enters service-oriented Virgo on July 1, when you will feel like rolling up your sleeves and going for it! Then, on July 2, the new Moon in Cancer -- the sign of family and home -- brings new energy and a fresh beginning. This is a great combo for home improvement projects or even a family-service vacation.

July 1: Mars enters Virgo

Mars takes about two years to transit through each sign of the zodiac. This particular transit through Virgo is especially important since Saturn entered Virgo way back in September 2007, which means you've already given a lot of thought to the themes of health, work and service. Now, energetic Mars activates what you've already been working on these last months. Your health and fitness regime needs more attention, your working conditions are calling you to take action, and the kind of service you want to give the world needs to be set in motion. You don't need to commit this instant, but by the time Mars reaches Saturn next week, make sure to have a clear idea about what you're doing!

July 2: New Moon in Cancer

This time of year always brings a new Moon in its home sign of Cancer. Tending to your personal needs and those of your home and family become extra important. Nurturing and nourishing are strong impulses now, and making a commitment to do both will bring wonderful rewards. So make your favorite comfort food, volunteer at the local soup kitchen or plan a family picnic!

1. Thank you for posting this. Over the weekend I wanted to

paint my bathroom....For several weeks I tore off old wallpaper, and other prep....I Even had a beautiful purple color specially mixed. I thought all would come together seamlessly. However, this past weekend was one re-route of plans after another. When the plan I carefully laid out didn't come close, because the final straw that broke the proverbial camel's back, was the paint I special ordered was not even close to what I thought I had mixed. So I mixed my own at home. The color was a compromise of what I purchased and what I had left over from another job. It is a color that is advertised by Eddie Bauer as the color to use for an Arts and Crafts look...It is a very deep but beautiful purple. I would of never in a million years chose. But I used it, and it actually is growing on me.
