Welcome back to In the Stars!

This week, we bring you a little more insight as to why you may be feeling so abused by the Universe lately. Have you been feeling a little like you must be on Santa's Naughty list and the guy has finally learned how to network with the Powers That Be? I have. If you haven't been getting a universal schooling, you are lucky. Go have a margarita and put your feet up, the rest of us will need to read Kimberly Patron's blog this week. Worth it to take a listen to the recorded call she mentions too!

I must have said "Freaking Mercury Retrograde!!!" fifteen times today. Odds are pretty good that either you, or someone you know, has had to deal with glitchy internet service, miscommunications or contract issues over the past week or so. Matthew's Weekend Romance Forecast gives a little insight as to how to best navigate the potential romantic hurdles, that this retrograde may create for you over the weekend.

And finally, I took a minute to explain why its so important to get a good grip on your Natal chart. Self actualization may not be the key to happiness but its a pretty good place to start. If you have never had a personal Natal reading I highly recommend you get one! I am offering a deal to AstrologyDating.com members for a personal phone reading for $95 (Reg. $150). Get it while its hot :)

Alright folks, have fun and stay outta trouble!

Cheers,

Why Natal Readings Matter!

Your Birth Chart: Playing The Hand You're Dealt

Poker is a microcosm of life itself. There's risk, there's reward, there are chances for you to overcome others, and opportunities for you to lose your shirt. Professional poker players spend years learning to read even the tiniest hints from other players as to what those folks are thinking, and spend years controlling those same tiny clues coming from themselves.

It doesn't matter who you are or who good you are with people, though: if you don't understand what the cards you're holding mean — you're going to lose.

On Balance, Superficiality & Hitting the Floor (aka Saturn in Libra, Saturn in Scorpio)

There's some planetary intensity happening in the skies that I think is pretty hard not to notice. The Uranus Pluto Square was exact on June 24, this week we have a Grand Cross, and with Saturn's last few months in Libra, we are being urged to learn the lessons it has been showing us over the past two years before it moves on into Scorpio in the fall.

I had a bonus call with Linda so she could share her wisdom on this.

In the recorded conversation, we discuss some of Saturn's recent Libran teachings that we believe are important to pay attention to now so that you can better flourish when Saturn moves into Scorpio this October.

The following topics are covered:

Astrology Dating's Weekend Romance Forecast: July 20-22, 2012

Mercury is still retrograde in Leo -- having a lot to say but fumbling the words. Mercury is sextile Mars in Libra, adding some forcefulness. Unfortunately neither Mercury in Leo or Mars in Libra have a reputation for being all that wise and effective at choosing words, so it's entirely possible you'll bulldoze someone with a stray word... or they'll run YOU down. The big trick may be to not overreact, or say something back even dumber.
