Lammas and the Eclipse | By Genevieve Salerno

Genevieve writes for the weekend edition of Daily Astrology and Adventure, "Midsummer is a pagan sabbath that falls on a cross quarter of the Great Wheel. For the pagans who celebrate strictly by the astrological clock, the Sun will enter the middle of the sign Leo on the seventh of August. This marks the time of Lammas. For pagans and otherwise, it is an important time for life-assessing, dream-designing and thanks-giving. This year’s Lammas comes at a very special time as well, because of the solar eclipse that occurs on the first of August." Click here to read her article.

Leo Eclipse: From Self-Concept to Self | By Eric Francis

The Friday edition of Planet Waves Astrology News is now available to subscribers. It contains a special issue on the eclipse, an article on violence against women by Judith Gayle and, of course, the weekly horoscope. Below is the subscriber edition's horoscope for Scorpio:

I am inclined to say, "This may be the most interesting, productive time so far in the history of your career." Except that some of you, perhaps more than usual, will disagree, and in spades. This is because not all changes instigated by an eclipse are necessarily welcome or seem helpful. For you, time will tell. For people who are engrossed in the intrigue, intensity and sweeping changes that seem to have stormed into your professional life, enjoy not just your moment in the limelight but also your threshold to the future. What you are experiencing is not one of those transits that comes and goes; it is what I describe in my sessions as a gateway event. A door is opening; indeed, it is wide open. You have the option to go through, and to concern yourself some other time about the details, the consequences or whether you really feel confident doing all of this.
