None of the planets – besides the Moon – change signs this week, quite a change from last week’s transits. However, the skies always have some type of movements of interest and potential use. This week appears to be about Sun in dominion and Mercury in exaltation. Sun in Leo exactly conjuncts retrograding Venus this week, and he makes a separating trine to Uranus all week. Sun also starts to conjunct Jupiter in Virgo by the end of the week, and as Sun draws closer to the end of Leo, he prepares to enter Virgo and conjunct the fixed star Regulus.

21 Leo 30

Impulses that have been smoldering all summer catch fire with August’s Leo New Moon. The event takes influences from two overlapping cycles, rolls them into a fireball and hurtles them — and us — forward.

Under normal circumstances, the Leo New Moon gives a boost to our egos, playfulness and need for recognition and attention. This time around, the Leo New Moon is not merely priming our inner spark. It is pouring desire and willpower into that spark and catalyzing dramatic developments.

The catalyst angle comes from the Leo New Moon’s tight, easy flow to Uranus, cosmic agent provocateur. Pressures and impulses from the last three years, and from the end of June in particular, are catching fire. (Again.) This link imbues the Leo New Moon with the radically liberating, individuating end of the change imperative that has rocked the foundations of our lives since 2012, as the unforeseeable and perspective-altering (Uranus) clashed with the unavoidable and transformational (Pluto).

Antidepressants are not very helpful and cause many side effects. These herbal remedies have a history of effectiveness and safety in treating depression.

The statistics surrounding depression are staggering.

Over 18 million Americans have a depressive disorder.

One in ten adults takes antidepressants, and for women in their 40s and 50s this number is up to one in four. (1)

Americans lead the way in antidepressant use but other countries with high standards of living, like France and the Netherlands, are close behind.

Some experts believe that our modern lifestyle is making us more depressed, while others think that heavy promotion by drug companies and over-prescribing doctors are to blame.

But however you look at it, more people than ever are taking antidepressants, and natural options that work are needed more than ever.

The Navajo Nation declared a state of emergency this week after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revealed they were responsible for not one, but three million gallons of toxic mining wastewater spilled into the Animas River in Colorado. According to the EPA, the contamination is composed of cadmium, arsenic, lead, aluminum, and copper.

Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye vowed to hold the EPA fully responsible for its spill, saying “The EPA was right in the middle of the disaster, and we intend to make sure the Navajo Nation recovers every dollar it spends cleaning up this mess and every dollar it loses as a result of injuries to our precious Navajo natural resources.”
