Note to Readers about Blog Registration —

Beginning today, to read Planet Waves News (this blog) you will need to be a registered user of the site. This is a free registration. It’s not a membership, subscription or a product purchase. Registering will allow you to read full articles and to participate as a commenter. We will not sell or share your data with anyone. We will send you occasional emails about our in-house products and services, such as subscription packages, my astrological readings and other information. Everyone who signs up will also receive my monthly Inner Space horoscope free via email.

Important note to our subscribers, Core Community members and those with All-Access Passes — registering for this site is a separate process that is not linked to your subscription or its credentials, for technical reasons (related to databases). There is separate registration for all areas til I figure out how to link them. We are working on a project that may soon make that possible.

Many of our readers already have accounts. For example, if you comment on the blog, you are already registered. The good news is that now lots more people will be registered and can now get to comment.

If you are trying to register and getting the “This email address is already in use” notice, you have signed up with us in the past. Please go to this link and reset your password.

Note to Registered Users of pw/news (this blog) — please let us know about your user experience signing up and/or signing in. You may email tech@planetwaves.net and please put ‘punter experience’ in the subject header, thanks! (Inside astrology joke, ‘punter’ is Brit for ‘customer’ or in the case of the ‘net, ‘user’. I picked up the expression from Jonathan Cainer, who would rather gaily refer to his readers as such.)

Thanks for signing up with us.

Your Daily Astrology for Thursday, July 10, 2014

Between now and July 10 at 11:24 pm EDT (July 11 at 3:24 UTC) when the Moon ingresses Capricorn, it will be transiting the corner of the sky with numerous centaurs, slow-moving outer planets and two deep space points — the Great Attractor and the Galactic Core. Since the Moon often represents emotional and physical sensation, this may present challenges to some whose density leans toward the solid end of the spectrum. Yet Sagittarius itself is psychically buoyant and it’s possible to reach some of the subtler levels as the Moon makes a series of conjunctions — first to the Great Attractor and asteroid (3811) Karma between now and midnight EDT, then some hours later to Ixion, Pholus, Charkilo, Amycus, Quaoar and Hylonome. These are not asteroids but rather planets closer to what you might recognize with energy similar to Chiron and Pluto — the deeper sort of contact, demanding attention and focus and calling forth the intention of healing.

Each of these planets one by one, very, very gradually, is making a conjunction to the Galactic Core, which serves as a spiritual homing signal. The meta theme is take care of what troubles you. Admit that change is possible, no matter how stuck you may feel. Recognize that there are means of healing not recognized by the people who control the systems of the world, and not endorsed by any conventional form of science or religion. The Moon is strong and bright now, gaining momentum as it builds toward full phase, exact early Saturday (EDT). This pattern is an invitation to look below the surface, below the level of the story (your own, or the ones people tell you), and below the level of ordinary social interaction, and reach for the deeper contents, motives and themes of your own consciousness.

The new Planet Waves magazine will be distributed Thursday at about 5 pm EDT (21:00 UTC) including a detailed analysis of the Full Moon and 12-sign interpretations for your Sun, Moon and rising signs.
