Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!

This photo is from Cave Creek, Arizona where I had the opportunity to see the 4th of July celebration from a friend's outdoor deck.

The Capricorn full Moon on June 30th

This, too.

Here's what I wrote in my weekly forecast about this full Moon

June 30th brings a full moon in Capricorn. This time marks the culmination of the things you set into motion during the last new moon. The full moon is an emotional high tide time when you get to assess and see where you are emotionally. In the days following the full moon but before the next new moon, get a plan together to maximize what’s great or to make changes that will make you feel more comfortable. If you know your chart, apply the information to those areas of your life. In Capricorn, it's time to move up the ladder. This is an achievement-oriented moon, so see what mountain you want to climb and make a step-by-step plan to get there. Capricorn is the sign of responsibility and maturity. Decide what you want to be responsible for and what you don't. Take action to make your life secure through tangible, practical accomplishments.

Here's a couple of great quotes:

Maturity is the ability to do a job whether or not you are supervised, to carry money without spending it, and to bear an injustice without wanting to get even. Ann Landers

Determine that the thing can and shall be done, and then we shall find the way. Abraham Lincoln

I think most of you know that I post weekly forecasts on my website at www.amandaowen.com

Moving on ....

This is the kind of thing I see each day while I work on my book and look out at the patio.
