Here's a list of books that I've had and used for years.  As a beginner, the question comes up about helpful astrology wisdom.  Each astrologer/writer that I've listed here, provides a wealth of astrological information.  These books are enjoyable to read, because they give practical strategies, and wise ways for using astrology in our daily lives.

1. The Day You Were Born by Linda Joyce

2. The Astrological Guide to Self-Awareness by Donna Cunningham

3. Moon Signs: The Key to Your Inner Life by Donna Cunningham

4. The Inner Sky: How to Make Wiser Choices for a More Fulfilling Life by Steven Forrest

What I really like about Astrology, are the clues this guidance system provides for daily life pointers, insight, and direction.  

​The  Full Moon in Aquarius on the 18th, though the effects can be felt starting on the 16th, is a sensational opportunity to “meet and greet others”. This is a great time to promote social groups and friendly encounters.  During this Moon, people are eager to talk and exchange mutually beneficial thoughts and ideas.

In the sign of the “water-carrier” there’s an excitement in the air.  As an air sign, Aquarius represents collective group awareness, in particular trends, mass movement and major societal changes. One major topic that heads the list of Aquarian concerns are questions of humanitarianism, a massive global dilemma affecting every country in the world.

Check out the kinds of subjects that  are trending on social media.  Aquarius ruled by the planet of “sudden and often disrupting happenings”, Uranus. It is  also the sign of technology, specifically the Internet.  

In many ways, Aquarius is the messenger that is asking everyone, as part of the collective whole, to consider what she or he is willing to contribute toward a new and more just world vision, which includes all people?  

Aquarius is an upfront sign. It’s signature is about doing things differently from what has been done in the past. Much of the social, economic, and overall planetary upheaval has to do with collective group owning of what is not viable, and how the “old order” has disavowed the differences and diversity of the branches on the“human tree”.  

• Where in your life are you experiencing the need to make major changes?
• At the same time, how and what can you contribute to the group effort to shift the world energy toward more light, and real positive direction?  
• What do you need personally, to feel comfortable, supported and nurtured in stepping out to share your unique visions and ideas?

This Full Moon is shining on you, and your unique view. Is there something that you’ve been toying with for awhile?  It’s time to go for it!  

Perhaps people around you may look at you with a raised eyebrows, but there are others who are ready for the changes that you are proposing, and are in full support of your vision(s)!   

Even though there are many topics and subjects that are weighty, and perplexing, connecting with others in a fun and enjoyable way makes everything easier.  The summer Sun is still sitting in Leo, which in astrological terms is in the opposing position to Aquarius.  Even though these signs are sitting opposite one another, I actually see them working together as complements.

One way to use this astrological partnering, is for social connecting and having fun, where people can communicate and enjoy each others company. When we play together, we create more “heart space”. With more “heart vision”,  we can hear one another better, and see our way with more understanding, clarity, and wisdom.
