In just one month, two eclipses are due. These eclipses will be more important than most because we generally only get four eclipses a year (the others were in February) and because this time they will touch the very top and bottom of your chart. In August your life could change dramatically, both in terms of your career and your living situation.

The first, a powerful total eclipse of the Sun, will light your tenth house of fame and honors on August 1. You may leave one position for another or get an important promotion. If you are self-employed, you may see one or more clients leave and open talks with a better one. This solar eclipse is fairly friendly and will open a new path, so even enforced changes (should any occur, and I am not saying any necessarily will) should work in your favor. Here is your chance to head up the ladder of success. At the month's second eclipse, a full moon lunar eclipse on August 16, you will discuss housing, property, family, and domestic matters - you may settle them now, or in 2009. I will discuss these eclipses in detail next month, and I hope to post Astrology Zone early to help you get ready.

My point in telling you about the eclipses now is to show you that next month will be an unusually busy one for you, for truly dramatic shifts could take place. You don't want to have an overcrowded schedule because you will need room to move around - to think, adjust, and take care of things. You may be thinking, "I have to change my job," or "My lease is up, and I have to decide if I want to stay in this apartment or find another one." Or, you may not have had any thoughts like this, and in that case, developments may come up suddenly that you don't expect.

News is often delivered at an eclipse, but it doesn't necessarily mean you will be ready to act next month - you might, or you might not. That depends on your circumstances and choices. More eclipses in this very same area of your chart ruling career and home will arrive in 2009: January 25, February 9, July, and August 5. You had one on February 6 in your home sector earlier this year, so it appears what was discussed back in February may be acted upon soon.

Any eclipse will show you whether change is due, and if so, see it as an opportunity to improve your life. Only when we step out of a comfortable or routine situation to consider a new situation can we create positive change. Eclipses also change our timetables - initiations you thought you'd do a year or more from now will happen very quickly, possibly immediately, even if you thought you weren't capable of taking the big step you find yourself taking! We are often more ready than we assume!

This month, try to take a vacation. Time off - whether you choose to take a long weekend or a couple of weeks away - would be a good idea in July. In August you won't likely be able to get away (not unless it's at the very end of the month in the very last days) because too much will be going at work and at home.

Happily, this month your chart will brim with opportunities to get out of town, so don't fight it - give in! If you are concerned about money, keep in mind that with Jupiter in your third house, it appears your sister or brother could be the answer. Take a trip together and plan to share the cost of the rental car and gas, or visit your sibling in a distant city and enjoy being in a comfy guest room or on the living room sofa, cost free.

You will see travel opportunities arise the moment you begin the month, for the new moon on July 2 will be enormously friendly. This new moon will conjoin Venus, ensuring a happy, even luxurious experience - and it will also be in wide mathematical contact with Uranus, the planet of spontaneous surprise and actions. It looks like you'll be journeying for fun, not work, although the Sun's presence in your ninth house of foreign travel certainly makes business-related travel possible and profitable, if that's how things play out for you.

If you do travel for work, you would most likely go quickly and unexpectedly over July 14, when the Sun and Uranus will be so beautifully oriented.

Your ninth house was brilliantly lit last October 2007 through early May 2008. This tells me that it's possible you were laying the groundwork for an international trip or project that is happening now, or working on an important broadcasting, publishing, or university endeavor that is finally crystallizing. All those areas will sparkle brightly for you again in July.

If your birthday falls on or within five days of November 3, this new moon will speak directly to you, and you will benefit quite a bit from this new moon - more than most Scorpios.

As you get to the full moon July 18, you may also find yourself traveling to a new setting, but this time your trip would take you over fewer miles. Again, you seem to be in a spontaneous mood, so the trip you take at mid-month seems not to be planned. Jupiter, planet of happiness, will be close enough to the full moon to ensure a fun and possibly profitable trip. Again Uranus will be on hand to provide a zing of happiness you'd perhaps not expect.

There are other developments that could come up as you get closer to July 18. A special contract that you had been talking about could materialize then, and if so, you can sign now that Mercury will not be retrograde as it was in June. Of course you should always take time to show the document to your lawyer before you put your signature on the dotted line, but I do not anticipate you'd have too much to change. No full moon is for "just a day," and this one will exert a powerful influence on you until July 22.

Your third house, so lit near July 18, also rules advertising, publicity, marketing, and sales, so you may launch a campaign with great success. Sending out the word on your goods and services should net you cold, hard cash. This full moon would be the ideal time to do so. Be sure to do your launch PRIOR to the full moon to catch the sweetest energy of it - anytime LEADING to July 18. If you unveil things after the full moon, say July 21 or 22, it's still good, but the energy of that full moon will be in the process of deflating a bit, so I would rather you catch the energy on the way up, not on the way down. (Again, I am splitting hairs, dear Scorpio! If you can't, don't stress out!)

All communication comes under the third house, so you may be asked to be a guest on TV or radio, or you may now be ready to unveil a blog or new website. If you write for a living, it looks like a manuscript would be due at this time, too. It will be a busy time, with a great many phone calls and emails to answer, so be ready!

If your birthday falls on or within five days of November 17, this full moon will help you quite a bit, although all Scorpios should have something to celebrate.

Your friends will also be very prominent in your thinking this month and in August too, as Mars, your ruler, will move through your eleventh house of people / events / hopes and wishes. As you begin the month, however, Saturn will be orbiting close to Mars, and they will meet in exact conjunction on July 10. This suggests you may be concerned about the welfare of a friend and be moved to help.

At the time, you may feel a little helpless, wishing you could do more for this person, but can't. A Mars to Saturn conjunction is a little like a meeting of fire and ice, causing a standstill. Still, just being sympathetic can be enough - lend a willing ear and after your friend has fully discussed the perimeters of the problem, give your best advice. At this time you may be quite aware that friendship has its privileges and responsibilities, and the latter is one of those times. You will want to be helpful to your friend, so see what happens near July 10.

Under no circumstances should you give a knee-jerk reaction or, if you are feeling overwhelmed by the seriousness of your friend's problem, be tempted to dismiss the problem by saying something trite. That would only make your friend feel worse, so aim for the intelligent, compassionate, caring answer that reflects that you understand the depth of the problem and the extent of your friend's pain. As you move away from this date, you'll feel in a lighter, less serious mood, and it appears that your friend may be doing better, too.

There is another way this aspect may work out, and that would be if you are a member of a group or club, and choose to take on a very responsible leadership role this month. Be aware that you would work hard, but that you'd also achieve much. Saturn would see to that!

If you'd like to take a trip with a friend or to see a friend, say to a nearby seaside resort or to the mountains (more likely mountains), a lovely weekend to choose would be July 26, when Mars and Jupiter will be beautifully cooperative. It would be hard to find a better weekend than July 26! Gorgeous!

If you are creative, this month you'll blow out the windows with the originality that you'll demonstrate in July. Days when you should set aside time to brainstorm, experiment, or present an idea will be July 14 when the Sun and Uranus will align, and on July 22 when Mercury and Uranus will also cooperate. These are jewel-like days that are due to be very special. July 14 would be slightly better for visual work, and July 22 for anything involving words, computer code, or scientific exploration. I am splitting hairs - you can use both days and win!

Romantically, you have several reasons to be excited. This month brings the Sun to Cancer, and Venus will be in Cancer, too. Cancer is a sign that's divinely compatible with yours, so the first half of the month could bubble up delicious fun. If you can travel too, then romance will be even better.

One outstanding day to watch will be Sunday, July 6, when Venus and Uranus will bubble up all sorts of amazing experiences for you. If you hope to meet someone new, you should plan to be out this weekend!

Also when it comes to love, July 14 and 22 should be extra special. You may meet someone new very suddenly or grow closer to someone you already care for now.

Best days for romance: July 2-3, 11-12, 14, 22, and 26.

Summary

Feeling a little cabin fever, dear Scorpio? You could not wish for a better month to travel. Trade your stilettos or moccasins for flip-flops, your business suit for a swimsuit, and your reading classes for designer shades. Rather than book a meeting, book a reservation! It's high time you had time off!

Planets in Cancer point to the possibility of going to a sunny mountainous setting, or a cottage by the sea. Alternatively, you may opt to take a cruise to an exotic island surrounded with turquoise waters, snow-white powdery sand, and swaying palm trees. On the other hand, if lounging in a cabin by a crystal blue lake is more your cup of tea, that too can be arranged.

Next month, your career will bring sweeping changes at the time of the eclipse August 1 and you won't be able to travel. Nor will you likely be able to get away when home-related shifts require your attention at the lunar eclipse August 16. Enjoy the time you'll have in July. Even the busiest Scorpio should be able to pull away from work at the full moon, July 18, even if only to visit a nearby town.

Creatively, you'll be a powerhouse, and you will prove that in spades. Present a big idea at mid-month when the bigwigs are most likely to give you full approvals.

As you begin July, a friend's difficult situation seems to be on your radar screen, and as you edge close to July 10, when Mars and Saturn will conjoin, it appears to reach a culmination point. Your friend's situation seems to be difficult and not easily solved. Offer a willing ear and don't dismiss your friend's crisis because it does appear to be serious. As you move to month's end, the hardest part of the problem will be over, and you can breathe a sigh of relief.

Romantically, travel will bring silly fun and seriously close moments too with one you love. Uranus will signal Venus on July 6 and the Sun on July 14 - both days should find you feeling like you're the center of your partner's attention.

In addition, from July 1 to 12, Venus in Cancer will see to it that your magnetism stays high. Mars will help you strengthen bonds with friends too, so you'll have plenty of cosmic help.

On July 22, if single, rare cosmic energy will spoil you with exciting messages and encouraging signs that love is on the way.

You will soon see that if you ask for a favor, one friend in particular will respond with genuine care. Want proof? Watch two dates: July 14, and then later over the weekend of July 26-27. In both cases, a friend's gesture will deeply touch you, and you'll see just how lucky you are to have people in your life who genuinely care about you and love you.

What's On My iPod: "The Virgins" Debut Album

I love my iPod and have lots of songs on it, along with my monthly Astrology Zone® forecasts. Did you know that you can get each month's forecast read to you as spoken word, by a real person, not a computer? Check it out! here:

http://www.audible.com/adbl/site/template/ext/landing.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&pac=AstrologyZone)

But well, that's not the real reason I am writing to you.

I have a very special new album on my iPod that I want to tell you about-The Virgins-that does have a connection to Astrology Zone®.

Rolling Stone magazine recently reviewed the album in the June 26, 2008 issue (#1055) and gave it four stars! Concerning one of the album's songs, "Love is Colder than Death" the reviewer wrote: "It rocks like the Strokes' best party tunes, but its jittery bass line captures all the anxiety of the morning after." Why am I mentioning The Virgins debut album? There's a very interesting story!

First, if you want to see the album on BN.com, here's the link:

http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.asp?CTR=1317236&afsrc=1&lkid=J12871747&pubid=K118156

In June 2006, while my head of reader mail was on a two-week vacation, I had no one to read the daily incoming mail. We read every letter, and being that the Internet is like a continuous waterfall, it's important to keep up with daily correspondence. I was having difficulty finding temporary help with good communication skills. I needed someone who could write well, and also be someone who would really care about the readers' questions.

In desperation, I called Chrissie, my older daughter, for advice. She excitedly reported, "My friend Donald writes really well and could probably help you out for two weeks." "Who is Donald?" I asked, and Chrissie explained Donald Cummings was a good friend and a musician who could always use a bit of extra cash. Chrissie convinced me that he had the compassion and the fine skills I sought, so I said, Ok. I would be happy to give Donald a try.

Donald came by and I found him shy and very kind. I was pleased with his excellent communication skills as well as his tender attitude toward readers.

When the two weeks were over, I was sorry to see Donald go. "What is your passion, Donald?" "Music," he answered. "OK," I responded-"let's look at your horoscope. Would you like that?" His answer was an enthusiastic yes. Fortunately he knew his exact time of birth. He was born November 17, 1981 at 6:06 AM EST in New York City.

A double Scorpio (Scorpio with Scorpio rising), Donald's chart showed enormous talent. I was amazed to see that he had natal Jupiter conjunct Pluto, a rare and truly fantastic signature of success. I told Donald, "You must keep writing and composing your music. You have a FANTASTIC chance of hitting it big, and your first breakthrough will occur in nine months."

Usually when I hear that someone hopes to make it in the music industry, I advise taking side jobs to earn money while the talent awaits their big break. I didn't do that in Donald's case. I felt his Scorpio intensity would keep him on the right track and that he would hit the jackpot very soon. After all, Mick Jagger has that Jupiter / Pluto connection at birth like Donald, as does Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, George Washington, Abe Lincoln. This is a special aspect that only happens every 13 years, and when it does, it has to be within a few degrees to be useful. Donald has that, and much more.

Sure enough, Donald Cummings and his band mates, Nick, Wade and Eric as The Virgins, signed a contract with Atlantic records nine months later. After signing, it took a while for their debut album to come out, of course, but it just did-early last month, on the new moon June 3.. As mentioned earlier, Rolling Stone loved it, giving it four stars!

As I write this report, the band has already completed one tour of the USA (more are planned) and are in Paris, on their way to London, and they are due to do some really exciting TV here in the United States. Truly, they are on their way to bigness, although their manager, Nick Stern, says, "Of course, they have much hard work ahead of them." The TV show Gossip Girl has used five songs already in a recent episode, and more Virgins tunes will be in the fall episodes of Gossip Girl being shot now. One huge company known for music in their ads has The Virgins on their short list they are considering for their TV ads.

The Virgin's debut album, "The Virgins," hit the top 50 on iTunes in its first two weeks.

Their best sellers are "Rich Girls," "A Private Affair," "Love is Colder than Death," and "Hey, Hey, Girl." I also love "Radio Christiane"-a song written for Chrissie, my daughter. Chrissie helped the group by finding their first-class manager.

Some of the songs on this album are explicit, but there are TWO versions of this album in the CD (listed on the Barnes & Noble website), and one version is clean. You can make the choice. Astrology Zone® is a "G" rated, family site, so I don't want to lead you astray. This album is for grown-ups, not children and iTunes will label the album as explicit too, as most songs are these days.

I feel this album is special, and I hope you like it, too. On Barnes & Noble's site, the CD in a jewel case is $13.99 (less member's discount) plus tax and shipping. Click here to buy it:

http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.asp?CTR=1317236&afsrc=1&lkid=J12871747&pubid=K118156

On iTunes, you can search for The Virgins and look for the jewel case cover icon seen here.

I am so happy for Donald, Wade, Nick and Eric. Congratulations! Lets see if Donald rises as high as I feel certain he will! The night before he was to go on tour he called me-we had not spoken for a couple of years, as he had been busy writing-and he was very excited but also a bit nervous. "What do you think?" he asked. I laughed-"What do I think? I think this is the start of fulfilling all the talent that your chart has promised, dear Donald!"

Little Mom Celebrates her 89th Birthday

Little Mom, my mother, who I love with all my heart, and who taught me all the astrology I know, celebrated her 89th birthday last month on June 15. We had a small dinner party at my apartment in her honor, and she had so much fun. If you recall, last year she was deathly ill and spent four months in the intensive care unit of the hospital. No one was sure if she would recover. She did-look at how wonderful she looks!

This is a big thank you to you, dear readers, for sending prayers and get well cards to my mother last year, and for your continuing notes to see how she is doing. Your good wishes and prayers worked miracles. She not only recovered but is doing just GREAT! Thank you!

GET ASTROLOGY ZONE PREMIER ON YOUR CELL PHONE!

EVERY DAY!

JUST TEXT "AZP" (standing for Astrology Zone Premier) to

75777.

For the cost of a latte at your favorite coffee bar once a month, you can have all the astrological information you need to stay ahead, every day of the year. In addition to the daily horoscopes I write, you will also get special text alerts to remind you of changing planetary trends. You will also get special articles that I write that won't appear anywhere else! We have indeed developed a truly unique service that we feel you'll love!

Simply put "AZP" in the message and subject line and text to 75777.

Every carrier works a little differently, so here are the instructions for you:

• Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile customers - when you text AZP to 75777 you will receive a text message back with step-by-step instructions on how to download the application. Example, Verizon customers are told to go to "Get it Now", then "Tools on the Go", then "Mind, Body & Soul" and then select Astrology Zone Premier. So, Verizon customers will have to actually exit the Text Message and go back into the menu on their phone. This is something that you, as a Verizon customer, have to do to get any application so it's not a new process, and it's worth the effort!

• AT&T and Sprint customers - When you text AZP to 75777 you will receive a text message back that includes a link to the application. It is a more direct process than the one outlined above.

Not all phones are equipped to take new technology, so check first with your provider. If you purchased a cell phone in the past year, chances are, your phone is ready.

Incidentally, I was told Blackberry was ready to roll, and that we are working on coding the iPhone now. It will be ready soon.

Every carrier sets their own rates, so they vary a bit, but most charge between $3.00 and $4.00 a month for my service-check to find out what Astrology Zone Premier would cost by calling your carrier. You can decide when you want your texts to come in too-you choose the time, say, the evening before!

I hope you will sign up and let me know how you like it!
