SPACE WEATHER FACT CHECK: Many readers are asking about a report in the Washington Examiner, which states that a Carrington-class solar storm narrowly missed Earth two weeks ago. There was no Carrington-class solar storm two weeks ago. On the contrary, solar activity was low throughout the month of July. The report is erroneous. The possibility of such a storm is, however, worth thinking about: A modern Carrington event would cause significant damage to our high-tech society. Solar flare alerts: text, voice.

FIRST PERSEIDS OF 2013: Earth is entering a broad stream of debris from comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, source of the annual Perseid meteor shower. Although the shower won't peak until August 12-13, when Earth hits the densest part of the stream, the first Perseids are already arriving. "Despite poor weather over our network of meteor cameras, we detected three Perseid fireballs on July 30-31," reports Bill Cooke, head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office. He made this plot showing the orbits of the meteoroids:

The upward spiral you are in, because there is no longer a downward, is one of constant growth and renewal.  If you feel you are stuttering or stopped, take heart; this is only a momentary pause.  There is nothing to fear….there is only love.

Have you heard of a ‘miracle’ product known as colloidal silver? The basic reason for any colloidal silver efficacy and safety controversy is that the medical establishment (medical mafia) and the pharmaceutical industry (Big Pharma) see colloidal silver as a financial threat. While you may have been cautioned against using colloidal silver, know that colloidal silver benefits are tried and true.

Both the medical establishment and Big Pharma have put silver medical products to work in hospital equipment and medical tools as well as anti-infection burn remedies to prevent MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) infections, which are potentially lethal and have become antibiotic resistant.

    August is a moderately active month, highlighted by dynamic Jupiter aspects that can bring courage, confidence and a sense of adventure. Another Full Moon will occur in Aquarius that enhances community and collaboration, while Venus enters its own sign of Libra to bring more harmony and peace to our relationships. This theme is further activated by the Sun trine to Uranus on August 4, which encourages intuitive awareness and creative expression.

    The New Moon occurs on August 6 at 14 Leo 35. It is in harmonious trine aspect to innovative Uranus (see above) and closely conjunct the asteroid Vesta.  The focus for Leo is on individual and creative self-expression, along with recreation, generosity, risk-taking and children. This is a good month to nurture our own inner child. We can also discover where we feel the most dedicated, which is represented by Vesta.  A square to the Moon’s nodes in Taurus and Scorpio can indicate a need for more balance with resources and values. The Sabian symbol for this degree, “A pageant with its spectacular floats, moves along a street crowded with cheering people,” suggests discovering our own unique areas where we can shine and be recognized.

Some of your most profound growth will not come from your happy ‘moments’ but, from your disappointments. Moving past them and into more of what you are becoming is part of your experience. Embrace and love each one……….they love you. ~ Creator
