Some of these stories remain on the site after their seeming newsworthy dates because there is no reason to dismiss the lives of so quickly those who have suffered.
Hal, the coyote, while he is gone now, his story remains a testimony.

Lhasa Apso's being herded to their slaughter by the Chinese in Jinan.
CLASSES
Tele-classes are on-going and everyone is enjoying them. You may sign up to be on the mail list for future classes. These are economical and much more convenient than trying to block large amounts of time to travel back and forth. For the tele-classes, I recommend you have a comfortable place to sit for your classes and maybe a headset, especially for the visualization classes. Remember, too, that I frequently present free guided meditations to de-stress!
Tutoring is a growing trend, at least for me. While it costs more than group classes the value is the best because you move at your own pace and study at the level suited to you specifically. You begin at the level of your knowledge and development.
ANIMALS
It has been on the national news about animals being abandoned and given up due to economic changes. Isn’t that further reason to promote spay and neuter programs? It is ridiculous in these times for people to continue to breed and it is the ones who are doing it for money that are the ones who have added to the current crisis. Continue to promote an end to backyard breeders and puppy mills and do not tolerate those who are using their pets to make extra money. They will tell you that they love their pets and that they find good homes for them and that is not just a stupid excuse, but criminal. They should sell themselves which would at least be their choice – the pets don’t have a choice. Rescue groups and shelters are overrun and many are being euthanized daily now because they have no place for them. Animals including horses are being thrown out in forests and just everywhere. If you are too delicate to know about it please do not write me with your woes. I have no time to coddle and serve you. Someone recently told me that she just can’t see the stories because it is upsetting. Gee, she should try being the dog or cat that is going through the horror – that might be just a bit more upsetting. That sort of logic is not an expression of love for animals. One does not have to watch the horrors unfolding as most of us already know what is going on, but those who are living in such a cocooned world need to stay out of the way of the rest of us who are busy doing something. It cost nothing to sign a petition and it takes only moments. As well, one may sign most of them anonymously. So, what’s the excuse for not doing that?
Journey's End Animal Sanctuary in central Florida still needs support. This is a worthy place. Details and directions upon request.

UPDATES AND CHANGES FOR THE WEBSITE AND SCHEDULING
This is the time of year that the site is updated. Hopefully all changes will go smoothly and I will check them by the end of the month. Any errors will be corrected as soon as possible.
Now scheduling Creative Visualization workshops and tele-classes. The new page will be adding details in August.
CONSULTATIONS & COUNSELING
Due to schedule changes consultations are primarily by phone or through Skype. This is proving to be a great convenience and economical savings for everyone. As well, sessions are scheduled in a quicker time frame so waiting is eliminated.

We are in the midst of a 2 year cycle that only occurs every 45 years, the last being in the 1960’s, that causes upheaval and for many chaos and disruption of the status quo. This Saturn Uranus angle peaked April 26 and is finalized in July. It has caused circumstances to be unsettled and many to be out of sync and this recent peak along with the geomagnetic storms is shaking systems and individuals on all levels.
As the days lead up to Mercury opposing Neptune July 26 make sure you are going in the right direction and not going off track by delusion – giving way to those ideas that are not thoroughly thought through. Mercury in Virgo and Neptune in Pisces suggest that what you do in relation to what you ideally want may not be matching. Rethink your goals and ambitions and the reality of your anticipated outcome. In other words, be practical.
Helpful rays shine down onto Sagittarius, Virgo and Gemini bringing opportunity and motivation.
More will be discussed in the next newsletter about Mars in Libra from July 29 to September 15. Right away on July 30 and 31 it makes intense angles to Uranus and Saturn. From there it moves to oppose Jupiter August 4. The significance is that Mars forms a 90 degree angle to the eclipse points, Saturn and Uranus furthering intensity.
Animals Evermore in Need
The quote about animal welfare rings true - "Do not breed and buy while animals die." There are always exceptions about breeders but most seem to be in it for the money and the over-population is simply unnecessary. Shelters and rescue groups are suffering due to the economic times. First, people are giving up their pets due to their own hard times meaning most shelters and rescues are filled to the maximum. You can find any breed you want - they are all there waiting.

The solar eclipse (July 11) over the South Pacific is joined by the fast-growing sunspot 1087 sparking with C-class solar flares. It is possible those who are in place to observe the eclipse just might see material flying away from the Sun.
Saturn in Libra opposite Uranus in Aries on July 26 is an angle which occurs every 45 years. This conflicts with the July 11 solar eclipse in Cancer. The volatile energy already being experienced is further activated leaving many unsettled. Solutions are invented so it might be that the oil spill will finally be stopped. The very angle that opened such disaster is also the one that forces intense thinking and innovation.
As the month concludes Mars opposes Uranus July 30 with a final aspect of Mars conjunct Saturn on July 31. Along the way Jupiter retrogrades in Aries.
All of this creates a pressure cooker vibration stirring situations and people to a peak especially the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Pluto in Capricorn furthers feelings of intensity. Eclipses in the mix bring some situations to a boiling point. This sounds dire but all angles cannot be upbeat and give pie-in-the-sky expectations.
Much reaches critical mass and negative situations should be released as much as possible or ways found to ease tension. Minimization of what has been building and spilling over will be the best path otherwise some circumstances become too stirred and intense to manage. Nothing under these rays is resolved by pushing anyone or anything to the limit. There can be unexpected results and reactions that are not favorable at all. At some point the heat needs to be turned down. People can only endure so much just as a bridge can only hold so much weight.
