UNDERWATER
AMSTERDAM
JULY 2010
22 July-22 August
You rethink a number of plans, contracts, agreements, or even trips this month. Give yourself lots of wiggle room and plenty of focused, uninterrupted time to reconsider the pros and cons of relocating, signing on the dotted line, or any legal wrangling you may be involved in. Yes – you have almost no strength or patience to drag this issue out another few months. But for your own peace of mind, you must not use "I'm tired" as an excuse. You need to get this issue done right. You may be dealing with someone who withholds truth and using money and power to control or dominate you. This appears to be a David and Goliath scenario, and is maddening and intimidating. But just like David took down the monstrous giant with a slingshot and stone, so can you. First of all, you can regain control of a legal or contractual battle that involves attorneys by stipulating that your opponent pay all your legal expenses incurred during this battle – and don't forget "damages." Secondly, you can ask your attorney to dig up a certain person's tax returns and business related (yeah, right) expenses. You need not say a word to your opponent. Let your attorney to Goliath's attorney. If you hit the right nerve, it doesn't really matter how much money or power someone else has – or how puny your resources are. You need to stop running scared and ragged, face this monster head on, and hit 'em where it hurts: money and flagrant bad behavior. Be methodical, quiet your mind, and gear up to become the dark horse winner in this dilemma. The 9th and 10th bring hope. You assume that the end of a battle is near. Maybe it is, or maybe a different kind of battle will take its place – this time with you in the power seat. The 11th includes a New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Cancer, giving you so much influence and intuition. You're a lot stronger that you realized. You get your second wind. The 21st and 22nd also solidify your position, may ensure that a domestic issue goes your way – not the way of the opponent – and bring you the amazing sense that, "hey, I might actually WIN!" The 23rd is another day to think about an offer that is sent to you. Is it exactly what you want – or is it full of holes and skewed in favor of another? Do not sign something just to make a problem go away. Make sure it's something you can live with – for years. On the 25th, a Full Moon occurs in your 7th house of partnerships. This can end one connection and rev up another. A sense of rebirth washes over you – maybe your long-wished for second chance has finally arrived. The 26th brings satisfaction and joy. Don't waste a moment of energy on the past. Leave it alone for the remainder of the month. You make some adjustments financially on the 27th and feel free to finally make plans and commitments on the 29th. The dark cloud that has hung over your head leaves for a while – mainly because you refuse to let it get you down. The 30th and 31st have moments of brainstorms and energetic connections that are so inspiring. Don't allow a negative person from your past to interrupt the flow. Monthly touchstone: Frankeite.
