Straight from the horse's mouth!-
- as we arrived in the Lakes for our annual hols, my p. Moon finally hauled itself out of Scorpio and started its liberating trek through Sag. The change is extraordinary. For two plus years all I've really wanted to wear is black and various shades of khaki, very strange arrivals in my normally vibrant wardrobe! And now, to coin a phrase, 'when I am an old woman I shall wear purple' - can't get enough of it, also red, since Mars occupies Sagittarius in my sky (in fact the mauves were beginning to leak in at the tail-end of the last degree of the old sign.) And most oddly I've begun to find my beloved mountains really quite oppressive; they are looming at me now, taking my space, which I want to extend, and stretch out in, and (as a typical Capricorn!) have all to myself ... or do I? Even my solitariness is shifting; my charity-shop stint last week meant sharing a cluttered space with another volunteer for 4 hours, which would normally give me the heeby-jeebies; but I found myself able for the first time to work in close proximity with abundant good cheer, far more relaxed than I've been all year! There is not a shadow of a doubt, if you want to learn what a Sign is all about, study the progress of your own Moon through all of them, remembering how you were, who you briefly became. It fascinates me, including the colour thing - I could never wear blue till the Moon went into Libra, and through Leo - well! How yellow and orange can one girl get?! Moon in Cancer was a very green phase, Virgo demure and in love with tiny patterns. You can have a lot of fun with this.

Talking of imagery, and getting back to Formula 1, Jenson Button is driving a Honda with 'Earth Dreams' writtten all over it ... just as Sidereal Neptune is driting and dreaming over his tropical Capricorn Sun!
And, interestingly, after my earlier post, on July 19th at Hockenheim the German Grand Prix started with the same pattern as Silverstone - Ceres on the MC (with Mercury) opposite Jupiter and Lewis Hamilton's Sun.'Looks like Lewis is going to win again!' I remarked to Gerard ... and he did, in great style! 2007 at Budapest also brought him home in front - and Ceres was setting at the start. He also won in Japan last year when his Sun rose on the starting grid. But his last race was pretty disastrous; it ended up with his partner Heikki Kovalainen sharing the podium with Timo Glock and the other flying Finn Kimi Raikkonen. Ceres had abandoned the angles of the starting grid, and the UK was nowhere.

I haven't looked at Valencia yet, next weekend, but the last race of the season looks good for Lewis again - I wonder if it will also mean the championship, after this exciting, closely-fought F1 season?
