The Cosmic Clock
THE MERCURY MINUTE
The Moon rules the emotions and tone of the day. For this reason, your awareness of
its location can give you a better understanding of influences at play. The Planets signify
the mythological opportunities for each day.
(All times PST)
I use 00 degrees of the Sun Sign that the Sun is in on any given day.
Monday, July 13: The Moon is in Pisces as the day begins, and the Moon
enters Aries at 7:40 a.m. PDT, providing plenty of energy today. The Sun in
Cancer is conjunct to Mercury in Cancer at 7:16 p.m., and family
conversations are highlighted. There are plenty of conversations with energy to
go around today with the Aries Moon giving the week a quick energetic start. It is
always advisable to pay attention to the details when your enthusiasm can make
you overlook the basics. Assistance is a great asset for accomplishing the work at
hand.
Listen and slow down, and allow your stillness, which resides deep within, to arise
and guide you towards your bliss.
Ego and the intellect are wonderful tools, as long as they don’t make you look like
a fool. Your heart represents your wisdom, which humble.
“Silence laughing is smiling.” ~ Paramahansa Yogananda

Tuesday, July 14: The Moon is in Aries all day. This is a wonderful follow up to
yesterday’s kick off for a productive week. If you choose to act on your own, and
reject help, then you take on an attitude that doesn’t work. Don’t be aggressive or
you hurt only yourself. Cooperation is the way to understanding. Transformation is what happens when you don’t notice it. Today is one of those
magical days when change is subtle and yet very real.
Light is another form of dance, and Light is a gift from the Magical Mystery Tour!
The scientists are telling us that the Big Bang was the coming together of
parallel universes. As if it truly were the sound of one hand clapping!
Silence with listening, is like space with seeing, similar to breath as body. The joy
of looking and comprehending is Nature's most beautiful gift. ~ Albert Einstein
Tuesday, July 14, that’s your Mercury Minute.
Wednesday, July 15: The Moon is in Aries as the day begins. The Moon enters
Taurus at 3:30 p.m., which slows the week and grounds your energy. The
Moon has many aspects to many planets in diverse signs so this can be an
emotional and difficult day for your nervous system. The stars were the first GPS
system, with no monthly payments.
Everything that happens to you every day is an expression of a hidden force that is
beyond knowing, for what is to be known concerning Existence! The hidden
appears from an unlikely source.
There is no good or bad, and what appears to be bad, is good in t i m e . Vi b r a t i o n s
lead to Yes, and Good; Life is affirmation. Dark is the shadow of Light, and Light
is the shade for Divinity.
“When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.” ~ Charles
Beard Wednesday, July 15, that’s your Mercury Minute.

Thursday, July 16: The Moon is in Taurus all day. Mercury in Cancer is trine
to Uranus in Pisces at 12:33 a.m., and practical creative ideas come to mind.
Commune with the Earth by way of the garden, hands in the soil, or take a hot bath
with soothing oils! Inspiration is the food that makes this a day for flights of
inspiration that create enthusiasm.
What you eat is healing medicine, or not; what we do with our daily bread says a
lot about our health. You earn your health; no one gives it to you. You have to
make the effort to do activity that you can handle which allows you a basic
platform for health.
Love is the greatest healer, and love is all there is!
Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured, and endure what cannot be
cured. - B.K.S. Iyengar Thursday, July 16, that’s your Mercury Minute.
Friday, July 17: The Moon is in Taurus as the day begins, and the Moon
enters Gemini at 7:41 p.m. PDT, which energizes the day. Mercury enters Leo
at 4:08 p.m. and expressing yourself in a truthful manner is important. Today
the Moon has several aspects with planets in many signs. All the world’s a stage,
and until we know what is going on, it would be advantageous to be loving and
kind.
Be clear, that the way to wisdom is the door of humility. Humility is the caretaker
of enlightenment. Recognize the contribution of fellow co-workers, family or
friends, for no one is an island. Do what is right and flow with life as if you were
space itself. When you are stopped in your tracks, back up and wait for the next
miracle.
“The more a man
knows, the more he forgives.’ ~ Confucius

that’s your Mercury Minute.

Saturday, July 18: The Moon is in Gemini all day, and the Sun in Cancer is
trine to Uranus in Pisces at 26 degrees at 5:36 p.m. PDT., and your awareness
is keen and informative. Keep your wits about you today. You want to keep
grounded as words and ideas may not be as practical as you wish, but can lead to
new visions that could use a maturing period.
When you stop judging others, then you liberate yourself. You are safe from
judgment when you observe others. The choices you make on a micro level affect
the macro way of your life.
Be kind, and loving, as Life shows you the way to peace, for love is the way of
Divinity.
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you
will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get.”
Matthew 7:1-2
Saturday, July 18, that’s your Mercury Minute.
Sunday, July 19: The Moon is in Gemini as the day begins and the Moon
enters Cancer at 8:51 p.m. PDT., and family is where your heart is today.
When you are laughing you can’t be angry, when you are laughing you are in the
center of liberation. Laughter heals the body and soul. Keep your family in your
heart and enjoy the fact that you share the same biological map. Therefore, you and
your family are on a similar biological journey.
It can be a serious day, all the more reason to keep a light touch. Stay away from
difficult people. Let your heart lead you to your bliss. Once you become happy,
then it doesn’t matter what you do, you are happy! The joy of living is living a life
that provides a service that is needed.
“Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.”
Victor Borge

(Read the signs of both your Sun and Ascendant.)
CANCER (June 22-July 22) This is a time to celebrate the personal growth that
has brought you a new beginning, and a time to take advantage of the present
opportunities to make an impact on how you finish the year. Family plays an
important part in your life, and the more you are able to embrace everyone as
family, the more aware you are. If you choose to spend time at home, do not do so
at the expense of staying in touch with others, because it is important to stay
connected. You feel a wave of Morpheus coming over you, and this intense
awareness shows you the way to a better understanding of yourself. Learn from an
easy exchange of ideas with someone special, and have an open mind. Leisure time
is rare, so enjoy it while you can. Nurture what is important for you, and make sure
that you are clear with what you convey to others. You feel a bit lethargic, but in
time your energy comes returns.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) The time of the year that you shine the most is fast
approaching. To be best prepared, organize your life to better benefit from a hot
summer that promises to lead you in a new direction, a direction that ultimately
leads you back to yourself. Romance is wonderfully flirtatious - an inviting stage
and intimacy beckons. If you are in a committed relationship, then this is a sublime
moment to bond with your mate and to experience what love is truly available. The
love you receive is equal to the love you give, so be of a generous spirit! Make this
a time for personal awareness of what you want from life! You're preparing to
make a major decision, and the planets support you as long as you understand life
is about change. Yes, the force of creation is with you. Relationships are the focus,
so think as you speak. An adventure from out of the blue occurs to help you
understand life. Your words have substance with pathos, so think with your heart.
8
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You find that your lessons in life are being presented
with confrontation. After all, you learn about yourself when you are in conflict with
others, particularly with regard to your independence. What behavior do you put up
with, and what is no longer acceptable? Perhaps there are more questions than
answers, so be patient as you grapple with what you experience in life. If romance
is high on your list, just remember that love is all there is. This is a summer for
change, and for establishing a new approach to living. You want to lay low for a
while, but you also feel like making things happen, which can be confusing. Open
and honest communication is the best approach with someone who is not listening.
Friends help you reconnect with an important part of yourself. A heartfelt
conversation would remind you of the important value of honesty. You may have to
work more, which provides you a cycle.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Although you feel like you are waiting for something
special to occur, that something is in fact happening to you right now. This is a year
of expansion in your personal life. Will you let go of a relationship that no longer
serves you? If you are having problems with a family member, be sympathetic,
forgiving, and compassionate, for that person is truly suffering. A turning point for
you is on the horizon, so listen to your heart and let your destiny lead you to the
best of what life has to offer. You are instrumental concerning a dispute with a
friend who needs your guidance and support. People get in touch with you from the
past and it is a welcome surprise. This is a busy time for you, so learn to say No!
You can't satisfy everyone, especially if you aren't taking care of yourself. Find
some time for you, and don't overload your schedule. Worrying about anything
solves absolutely nothing, and only hurts you. Love rather than worry- it is
effective!
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) With your energy, you can have a cocktail that is in
need of another olive. Everything would be perfect were it not for the fact that one
essential ingredient is still missing: are you doing what you love? So if you hope to
fulfill your life’s purpose, you have no other choice but to creatively focus on
discovering what you were born to do. Everyone has a special gift, and if you delve
deeply into your heart, your gift can be found, and there is your true joy waiting for
your recognition. The idea of travel comes up in the next few months, and you may
or may not go; the decision has yet to be determined. Walk and meditate for better
health, or take up a form of exercise; you’ll be better for it. Eat sensibly, and start
paying attention to your life style. The choices you make determine your health
and your sense of well-being. Education, and travel are the emphasis for now.
9
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) This is a powerful time of the year, and you
are at your best when you feel free. You consider moving in a direction that speaks
to your spiritual side. By living your life in this way, your heart is found in the
choices and decisions that you make. Make your life an expression of the joy
within, and express unabashedly your joie de vivre to others. And if you are
detoured in your life’s journey, you are never far from your true path, as you are
guided from within by love (both inside and from the outside). Deep feelings come
to you, so be prepared for some emotional insights into the way you feel about
someone. Are you ready to take a journey? If so, make sure you have the time and
money to enjoy such an adventure. The world is waiting for you to express what
you can provide! Frustrations and delays have to be dealt with, but a good attitude
makes all the difference in the world. Conserve your money.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Now is an excellent time to take stock of what
you are doing! You feel that there is opposition on all fronts, but this should be
viewed as an opportunity to learn from what you don’t understand, and a chance to
grow from a confrontation with the unknown. Pay attention to choices within your
business, and adhere to a budget that controls the way you spend money.
Moderation is the key to keeping your emotions under control, and this Aristotelian
approach yields the best results. Listen not just with your ears, but also with your
soul and your heart. Consider this a new beginning, and you will be surprised at
what little effort it takes to make important personal changes. You feel like moving
forward, but there is something telling you to slow down. Enjoy quality time for
yourself, and get some rest. Let the loving start, and find yourself saying words that
haven't been expressed by you in a while. Work is demanding more of your time.
Remember life is about relationships.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb 18) Both Jupiter and Neptune in your sign speak to
expansion in a spiritual manner, and you may have to guard against over
optimization. Mars and Venus are in Gemini, which supports your love interest.
Family is also an area that has its ups and downs. Remember that you can’t do
anything about other people, but you do choose who you spend time with. If you
are ready for a promotion, there may be a delay due to circumstances beyond your
control. The Moon is making itself known to you and others, and this can test your
emotions. This is a great year for you, and you are having a better time over all
than you have had in a long time. There is a joy that surrounds you in a deep
meaningful way. When you step back from your work situation, you can see where
things may start to proceed. Be prepared for change with your employment.
10
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Life changes at a moment’s notice, and without
warning, so don’t be surprised to learn that you are due for a major shake-up.
Given this opportunity, this is a good time to be strong and to stand up for yourself,
and to not let others manipulate you. You are a Pisces with addictive tendencies;
you need to make every effort to resist unhealthy temptations. Seek help if you are
unable to refrain from your detrimental indulgences. By controlling the negative
aspects in life, you make a great difference in your ability to handle future
roadblocks. You don’t know how supported and blessed you are until you are
vulnerable; only then can you experience unexpected love and support from the
unknown Divine energy of life. Work is demanding; however, you’re up for the
task. You get more done by not wasting time on unimportant matters. This is a
transition time for starting over again with a new sense of expansion. Romance is
the highlight, and a new acquaintance makes it all happen!
ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you are in a disagreement with a family member,
you should ask yourself if it is you who is perhaps out of line. Your ego can get
caught up with itself, and when it does, you often misunderstand what has
transpired. As difficult as it is for you to do, it would be most helpful not to take
things so personally. Stop judging who you often are overly harsh with - this is a
form for including yourself. With your sex drive on high frequency, take care to be
sensitive to your intended’s feelings. Make the most of your romantic mood. You
feel like something's going to happen and it does. Nevertheless, you feel
unsatisfied for some reason, and/or a bit restless. You have a tendency to feel on
the edge regardless of what's going on. Realize that it's your perception that needs
an adjustment. Take the time to relax, and don't have negative thoughts. You are
what you think, therefore be positive, or don't think at all! You are invited to a fun
gathering.
11
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your stars put your attention on your resources. You
have trouble making a decision on a major purchase. Make sure you are sensitive
to the moods of others. If you find yourself being unpleasant to anyone, stop and
examine what you are doing. You can be the most generous person, but you can
also be difficult to deal with. Which person would you like to be? Stop and think
about how you are treating others, and by doing that you start to recognize what is
truly important in your life. Laughter is the best medicine, and you go a long way
by helping yourself to a new adventure. If you're comfortable with the people you
surround yourself with, then great! If you’re not pleased with the company you
keep, then why are you spending time with them? You’re invited to a wedding or to
a gathering where you meet someone special. Communicate, don't dictate to others,
and learn to listen! You can be charming!
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Romance is on your radar screen, and you encounter
a number of situations that bring new people into your world. Are you tuned-in to
those who are paying attention to you? Love comes where (and when) you least
expect it. You are in touch with yourself in a deeper way than you have been
accustomed to, and as a result you are beginning to appreciate all that you have.
Your lesson is to never take for granted how good your life truly is, and if you fail
to learn this, your awareness of inner bliss could quickly implode. You're feeling
pressure, and you’re not sure why. You're on the verge of understanding yourself
from a new viewpoint. Attempt to eliminate the elements of your life that no longer
serve you, and introduce growth in your life by meeting new people. Financial
considerations are looked at with an eye on the future. Money is like water; you
need it, so conserve your resources and you'll be glad you did. However, love is
everything!

KRISTNAMURTI
WEEKLY
Very few of us enjoy anything. We have very little joy in seeing the sunset, or the
full moon, or a beautiful person, or a lovely tree, or a bird in flight, or a dance. We
do not really enjoy anything. We look at it, we are superficially amused or excited
by it, we have a sensation which we call joy. But enjoyment is something far
deeper, which must be understood and gone into.
As we grow older, though we want to enjoy things, the best has gone out of us; we
want to enjoy other kinds of sensations - passions, lust, power, position. These are
all the normal things of life, though they are superficial; they are not to be
condemned, not to be justified, but to be understood and given their right place. If
you condemn them as being worthless, as being sensational, stupid or unspiritual,
you destroy the whole process of living. To know joy one must go much deeper.
Joy is not mere sensation. It requires extraordinary refinement of the mind, but not
the refinement of the self that gathers more and more to itself. Such a self, such a
man, can never understand this state of joy, in which the enjoyer is not. One has to
understand this extraordinary thing; otherwise, life becomes very small, petty,
superficial - being born, learning a few things, suffering, bearing children having
responsibilities, earning money, having a little intellectual amusement and then to
die.
