JULY ASTROLOGICAL UPDATE
by Marci McCaffery

 

Astrologer Marci McCaffery

The month of July begins with mounting planetary tensions. On July 1st, an intense, emotionally charged New Moon, Partial Solar Eclipse, at 9 degrees 11' Cancer, creates a difficult planetary pattern. A major configuration is formed between the Sun and Moon and three outer planets (Saturn, Uranus and Pluto). Six square aspects, suggest a heightened degree of

volatility. Squares signify turning points where the focus is on change. Innovation and creativity will strengthen determination.

Once again, we are confronted with a major crossroad. The old reality has passed away. Issues concerning home and family matters, women, children and the housing market, relevant to the sign of Cancer, become the focal point.

by Dan Millman         $17.00

Four Purposes
The Four Purposes of Life $17.0

In his first work of new teachings in twelve years, beloved teacher Dan Millman faces life's fundamental questions: Why am I here? What am I meant to do? Millman understands the primary human need for direction and purpose. Here, in his wonderfully straightforward and down-to-earth way, he shares fresh, realistic techniques anyone can use to find and fulfill their fourfold life purpose. Writing with special consideration for those in transition or at a crossroads, such as graduation, raising a family, health challenges, career upheaval, or impending retirement, Millman simply and beautifully addresses everything from intuition to sexuality, making money to the meaning of service, predestination to paying attention to the present. The result is an extraordinarily lucid guide to nothing less than life and how to live it.

EXTRAORDINARY ORDINARY FORGIVENESS 

   
by Susan Dugan, local author   $22.95
Extraordinary Ordinary Forgiveness
Extraordinary Ordinary Forgiveness $22.95
In mid argument with a loved one, as we stand unfairly accused, we would much rather be right than happy. As practising forgiveness raises our awareness of our attraction to and identification with the ego's sneaky ways, our pain often increases. Some of these essays are reports from the eye of just that storm, accounts of her own fear, paralysis and mistaken belief in and attraction to a false, ego controlled self. But in each case, Susan got through by continuing to ask for help from the part of our mind that sees only our one true self and can never fail us. Today she is spending far less time in the eye of the storm and far more embracing the instant of release that reflects the real world available when we have forgiven all that would hurt us. You can, too.
