PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY July 8 2024 to July 14 2024 Monday July 8 The Mighty Pun Today, as inspirational Venus links to innovative Uranus. As Marty Feldman the comedian said: "The pen is mightier than the sword... and considerably easier to write with." Well... we're all entitled to our own processes; and mine involves using a sword to inscribe horoscopes onto logs that get shipped to my editor! It's not 'easy' work, but she gets free firewood! Today, we're encouraged to shake up our communication methods and make them more fun. Expect the unexpected! And reasons to smile! Tuesday July 9 Tom Story Happy birthday Tom Hanks! Following Mercury's link to Jupiter, it's going to be easier to channel our inner-Tom's. Whether it's acting his socks off with his socks off in 'Castaway', or being anything but wooden as Woody in 'Toy Story', he's played many lovable characters - but fewer villains. Maybe that's because the timbre of his voice communicates an unwavering sense of trust/optimism and sends out positive messages that result in changes of fortune... and happy endings. Wednesday July 10 Divine Inspiration The Sun's link with Saturn (the cosmic teacher) begins to peak. Yesterday, we talked about spreading positive messages. Today, as Buddhists celebrate the first teachings of The Buddha, (which he delivered to a small group of companions around 2,500 years ago), we see how words can echo through the ages. Although there's no guarantee that divine inspiration will have such a world-changing effect today, we've got the authority to make a difference. That's power not to underestimate. Thursday July 11 Breaking Muse Venus (love and abundance) linking to dreamy Neptune before entering Leo is like letting a pop diva/divo loose in the wardrobe department five minutes before the curtain call. The results might be extravagant and over the top, but it makes for an incredible show! The cosmos is encouraging us to go with what feels right, embrace the muse, and harness the full potential of our creativity. And the more whole-hearted our efforts, the more deeply people will connect with what we're doing. Friday July 12 Do Be Do Be Do "A bell's not a bell 'til you ring it. A song's not a song 'til you sing it. Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay. Love isn't love 'til you give it away!" As Venus opposes Pluto while linked with Neptune, Oscar Hammerstein's lyrics perfectly describe the cosmic climate. We know, (but it's worth remembering), that hiding emotions away is a recipe for loneliness. It's when we share our feelings that love reveals its value. If we seize this weekend's opportunities, we'll have reasons to sing! Saturday July 13 Your Weekly Horoscope They say 'actions speak louder than words.'
