Coyote Kate's Horoscope July 5th, 2011
Aries (March 21-April 19): Spotted an American Dipper in action in a local river. This feathered critter is Halfling-like, an aquatic bird without webbed feet, of immense strength,
that zealously searches under strong currents for fodder. Much like Hanner Dyn of British lore (a boy who could beat men at wrestling, and as an adult, out-tussled King Arthur) the American Dipper exhibits strength, determination and will. Through force of habit (direct translation of Hanner Dyn), the dipper survives. Aries, your strengths enhance your will, and your habits make you a moxie for the impossible. You will realize this more in the weeks ahead.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Cloud one: you wallow on the ground. Cloud two: you wisp above all combined respirations. Cloud three: you’re up and off, floating, gaining potency. Cloud four: a spiritual congregation occurs. Cloud five: you collect the life blood of the Earth–water. Cloud six: magnificently your shapes soar. Cloud seven: Sense the gloaming of Nirvana. Cloud eight: Full, bursting, you are now a shape shifter of consequence. Cloud nine: Like the half Moon on Friday Taurus, you shine, an astronomical epitome of a cloud– wind, water, particles of Earth, and air. Fly now.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): For a long time now, you’ve held yourself up to some ideal, a perfection that doesn’t exist, especially in relationships. Native Americans always include a tiny flaw within their creations to reflect real life. A beaded necklace may have one white bead amongst rows of red. One basket reed may be turned slightly, etc. Gemini, find yourself an imperfect object. Honor it. Then you will be able to renegotiate what fulfills or completes you.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Fellow Cancerian Robin Williams, whose long list of accomplishments include: Two Emmys, 5 Grammys, Best Supporting Actor, 4 Golden Globes, and 2 Screen Actors Guild awards, amongst others, has been described as ‘maudlin.’ The definition of maudlin: drunk enough to be emotionally silly, and weakly and effusively sentimental. Williams portrays the Clown in all of us. We humans recognize this Clown knack because sometimes we have to be brought up and overboard to recognize the deep emotions that we can’t always recognize or harness. Enter the Clown. Cancer, you of all the signs, know how to bring these feelings to the surface in others. Catharsis is in the Stars.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Uranus goes retrograde on Saturday, Virgo, offering an anchoring of sorts. Anchored ships or boats may travel, however only in a circular fashion. Now is the time to travel full-circle, finish up this particular leg of your pre-summer journey—a final goodbye to the consistently inconsistence of Spring. Feel the tug. Anchors ahoy!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libra, I challenge you to participate in some made-up, quirky game such as kaleidoscope hockey, jump rope tweezing, mattress-trancing, or bald, blue-belly balderdashing. Humor yourself and your others.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Sinking ships leave life-saving debris floating on the surface. The trick is to remain afloat. Scorpio, use the odds and ends to design something better. Half Moon on Friday gives greater opportunity for success.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Summer abounds with growth. Earth pushes life from within. Ever known someone in early stages of pregnancy? Strange desires, a quelling in the stomach, so much to do, so much to prepare for. So much change. Kind of like reloading a quiver, Sag.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I’ve decided to start the habit of talking to myself and answering. Perhaps, Cappi, you could make this your habit as well. If you speak out loud, you will listen. Perhaps, the forces not apparent in alchemy, energy focused upon, will bring about concrete ideas.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18): Apparently those funky fungi have more uses than a rubber band, safety pin or duct tape. Besides being yummy, poisonous, decomposers, and recyclers, they can filter much better than the finest sieve. According to Paul Stamets of Washington state, they have the ability of ‘mycofiltration,’ meaning they can decrease amounts of E. coli in ground water, aid in healing of some cancers in women, and break down heavy oils. Aquarian, set yourself the task of ‘thinking inside the Earth.’ Perhaps we could become a mushroom planet.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): If you’re looking to increase the strength of the warrior within you Pisces, look to the Holly Tree. The Celtic month of the Holly Tree starts on Friday. Anyone who has ever come into contact with this tree knows the sting of its barbs and the beauty of the red berries and shiny leaves. Inside beauty; outside armor.
