On Coast to Coast AM last night, I happened to be awake to hear the latest predictions from a pretty good astrologer. Here's what she said:
In the first half, therapist Debra Silverman joined Lisa Garr to discuss her unique psychological-spiritual model, combining her expertise in Esoteric (soul-centered) Astrology with her extensive education in psychology to help those going through major life changes. She talked about how the upcoming lunar eclipse on July 4th in North America (arriving on the US's birthday), represents a kind of emotional discomfort, falling in the sign of Cancer, with four planets in Capricorn. Eclipses, she explained, serve as a marker in time, and can be used as a motivator to make a change.
America is experiencing its first Pluto return (which happens every 240 years), she cited, and this puts the country in a particularly vulnerable state. Mars, she added, is moving into Aries for the next six months, signaling an excess of male energy, which will conflict with the Capricorn aspect, and we could see this play out as turbulence in the government. Silverman also noted that between June 18th and July 12th will be a period of Mercury retrograde, which is an excellent opportunity for people to stop and look backwards to see what was left behind and needs to be finished.

Now, let me say, that is not a bright and shiny forecast. So! I ask you, when you read or hear about these kind of predictions, does it impact your own mindset on things? How much does this influence you in how you react to life?
