Astrology in July 2015 - Venus Conjunct Jupiter in the Setting Sky

Right now, Venus is exactly conjunct Jupiter, and very bright in the western sky after sunset because Venus is still almost as far from the Sun as it can be. To address one misconception floating around the web, this is NOT “the Star of Bethlehem.”

John Lennon on the 60s

Summer Solstice 2015 - What's Coming in July, August, and September

by Robert Wilkinson

The Summer Solstice occurs June 21, 9:38 am PDT, 12:38 pm EDT, 5:38 pm Greenwich (BST). It's the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, said to be the time at which "free will" acts more powerfully than any other time. It is a point of decision, and kicks off Summer, the season of work, play, productivity, and lots of sunshine for those of us up north.

What follows explores elements we all can expect to experience over the next 3 months, regardless of where we live.
