Your Duopoly at Work
The crowd was well-pumped, thanks to the Olympics earlier in the summer. When the games in London were over, Americans looked around hungrily for another garishly lit mega-spectator sport to dive into.
Grand Slam
A few days ago a skeptical acquaintance said to me, “Well, here we are almost at the end of 2012 — the year that was supposed to be so dire!” I think she meant that, despite the prophecies she’d read about on the internet, everything was just fine. I thought, Are you kidding me?

Shift in Velocity
Get ready to shift gears.
As September begins, the personal planets are facing straight ahead. Since August 7th, when Mercury stationed direct, the last of them made the shift from retrograde to forward motion. You may have felt hurdles move out of the way.

Oh Say Can You See
The Cardinal square was rattling with Full Moon energy this fourth of July. Mars had just entered Libra, hitting the Midheaven of the Sibly chart of the USA. Throughout July, Mars will trine Jupiter in Gemini. There’s nothing subtle about this energy. Like the flashy grin on a politician, the public face of this big sprawling country is on brash display.

The 13-year tenure of Neptune in Pisces has a peak this month.
As discussed in earlier Skywatches, during the years of the Cardinal Cross, Neptune in Pisces looms in the background. This month it is exaggerated by a station in early June and by a square from Jupiter around the Solstice.
