Meet Wandering Star's newest "employee" - our morale officer, Zachary Isayha ("I-Say-Ha") Katz Pollock, known as "Zayha"!

He was born on June 7, 2006 at 3:39 am in Portland, OR. He's a Gemini with a Libra Moon (like his mom), and a Taurus Rising.

It was an extraordinary experience. I had a water birth in a warm jacuzzi. Instead of moaning and groaning, I toned (sang) my way through - instead of making ugly noises while vocalizing my pain, I made beautiful ones! I caught my own baby myself, and my husband caught both of us. And best of all, my entire labor was just 5 hours (for those who want to know more, please visit my personal blog).

Being a new mom is the hardest thing I've ever done. I speak in front of audiences with hundreds of people. I used to rock climb; I've traveled around the world by myself. But nothing compares to soothing a crying baby while barely being able to walk!

I never imagined how much it takes to care for a newborn. One of the reasons we've worked so hard at Wandering Star is to create an environment where we could raise our children while doing what we love. For the moment, Zayha leaves us eaking out moments to process orders and make jewelry, but it's a joy to carry him in a sling while I work (even if I have to type with just my left hand!).

Oh, and it's my birthday this week! Yay us!

The Moon
Moon symbol

The Moon is the ruling planet of the sign Cancer in the fourth house.

The Moon embodies your feelings and emotions. The moon is associated with the mother, nurturing, family, and your ability to tap into the feelings of others.

The sign the moon was in at your birth will help you know how you express your feelings.

If you read your daily horoscope, it would be useful to read your moon sign as an indicator of how your emotions are operating for the day.

4th House
Second House

The Fourth House represents home, family, parenting, traditions, and your general attitude about where & how you live.
Ruled by Cancer, it is the place of seeking emotional security.

Most astrologers believe that the fourth house represents the mother, but it can more accurately be said that the fourth house indicates how you obtain your nurturing.

Top Astro Events for July

1. President Bush's Solar Return - (July 5, 2006; 7:06 pm; Washington DC) features Pluto conjunct the Sagittarius Ascendant. This Pluto placement is an ominous signal for catastrophic events over the coming year, although the Moon-Jupiter conjunction protects the U.S. itself. Factor in the Leo planets, and we have the continuation of an imperial presidency.

2. Jupiter turns direct - (July 5-6) while conjunct the U.S. Scorpio Ascendant (orb 0º23'), promising an eventful few days, national benefits, and a brighter outlook. A complicating factor is that Chiron is associated with the U.S. military*, and is simultaneously squaring the Scorpio Ascendant, perhaps combining to create events concerning military justice, or even military adventurism.

3. Full Moon - (July 10, 11:00 PM EDT) takes place at 18º41' Capricorn/Cancer. The Sun here makes precise hits to the U.S. Sun/Mercury and Mars/Midheaven midpoints (both at 18º43' Cancer), indicating important announcements about war plans and strategies. With both hot Mars and dry Saturn in Leo, watch for raging fires and drought conditions throughout the Southwest.

Monthly Horoscope for Everyone, by Wandering Star

July is characterized by a Mercury Retrograde in Cancer from July 4 to 28.

Look out for communication breakdowns with your family. One member will try to nurture, while the other may find their actions inappropriate or smothering. Don't forget that they were doing their best to help you, and if you're the nurturer, make sure that your actions support the other person's preferences!

Jupiter has been retrograde since March 4, and it goes direct on July 5. If your Spring wasn't as inspiring as you would have liked, look for new opportunities for growth and expansion to come your way.

Learn Astrology: Part of Fortune

ChironThe Part of Fortune is a mathematically derived sensitive point in your chart. The symbol in your chart is a circle with an “X” inside it.

The Part of Fortune is the exact amount of degrees and minutes distant from the Ascendant as the Moon is distant from the Sun. It is calculated differently for day and night births:

For a.m. births, POF = Ascendant + Moon - Sun
For p.m. births, POF = Ascendant + Sun - Moon

The Part of Fortune is an ancient Arabic interpretive element usually associated with the physical body, especially health and money. As its name implies, it is an area of your chart that is benevolent, especially when activated by a transiting planet.

The POF indicates your worldly success, prosperity, and talents. It represents what you like to do, what you're good at, and what you'll be successful doing.

This month's story comes from a woman named Pat, who has been wearing a horoscope necklace since 2003. She says of that necklace, "From the day I received it, it seemed as if the world shifted just a little in my favor.

"I'd just gotten back in touch with the love of my life. I planned a trip to NH to visit him, and it was like the hotels were just waiting for me to call, and then give more more than what I was looking for.

"After I returned to NJ, we spent the next year on the phone every day and making many 7-hr trips back and forth, treasuring every wonderful moment and planning the rest of our life together.

"Later that spring, a lump showed up on his neck. It turned out to be cancer, and while his prognosis was excellent, this story does not have a happy ending: he became convinced that he would not get better and became increasingly despondant.

"On a beautiful, sunny day in June, I stood up and my necklace literally exploded off the right side of my neck. It felt really strange and was very forceful. The only way I can think to describe it would be a small outward explosion. Most of the beads stayed on and I recovered the ones that fell to the floor and put them in an envelope.

"Two days later, I got the call no one ever wants to get. The love of my life had succcumbed to his depression; he had taken his life.

"Several weeks later, I noticed the envelope with my necklace. I realized the necklace had broken at the same time my love died. I pulled out my necklace to see where in my chart it broke. It looked like it broke around the 7th house of Relationships.

"Thank you so much for repairing my jewelry. I am looking forward to having my universe back together again!"
