Lucky Numbers for the Week of June 19, 2020

Lottery ads tell us you only need a dollar and a dream. But it is also helpful to have a list of lucky numbers to help spur the good fortune ... or fortunes. So with that in mind, here are some lucky numbers that can be used in any helpful way. I gazed into a pool of water, Nostradamus-like, and contemplated the cosmos. Then I mixed the tarot cards and allowed the spirits to guide me to the cards that represent the lucky numbers for this week. Nothing is guaranteed but who knows ....?

I choose eight numbers because 8 is the number of of wealth.

Here are the lucky numbers for the week of June 19-25, 2020:

6, 9, 11, 20, 29, 45, 54, 73

Mercury Retrograde June to July 2020

Astrologer Felissa Rose gives a great overview of the upcoming Mercury Retrograde:

 

MERCURY RETROGRADE – JUNE INTO JULY 2020

                    

Every  year the planet Mercury goes retrograde three times.   Sometimes the retrograde begins in one year and ends in the next, which won’t happen in 2020.   On June 18 at 1:00 am EDT for the second time in 2020  Mercury will be going retrograde.   The retrograde begins with Mercury located at 14 degrees 45 minutes in the sign of Cancer and ends on July 12 at 4:28 am EDT at 5 degrees 29 minutes also in Cancer.

Cancer is the sign of home and family, and quite a few of us have been spending quite a bit of time in our homes this year along with our families.   During that time, we might have become more aware of needed changes  to be done to our residence.  Hopefully, many will be able to return to work or school soon and move ahead in their lives.  For Cancer, ruled by the Moon, is the sign of personal security  as well as  that of those we care about and love.

For good reason, many of us have had to stay at home for several months.   While there we could have seen, as previously mentioned the changes needed to make it more livable and comfortable.   One can plan to make alterations now but unless it’s something like moving a piece of furniture from one part of the room to another, actualizing it  through major construction should wait until Mercury is no longer retrograde.   If one begins before the retrograde then it’s OK to finish, but most likely it will take longer than expected.   Also, take note that Mars, planet of building and construction will be retrograde from September 9^th through November 13^th so it would be best not to have it done then.  

When Mercury is retrograde communications are apt to be not as  clear as opposed to when it isn’t.  It takes longer to clearly get one’s thoughts  across and receive them as well.   One needs to take more time to explain what they want to express and it’s not a good idea to assume that others understand what one is trying to convey, so be as precise as possible.  It’s not favorable to sign contracts, finalize negotiations and rush from one thing to another without making sure others understand what you’re doing.   Things tend to break down when Mercury is retrograde and if it can’t be repaired it’s more likely to have a problem with a replacement.   So, make sure that whatever you  purchased has a good warranty.

Cancer rules the stomach and along with Virgo the digestive system.   During this period, those parts  of the body tend to be  more sensitive when a planet is retrograde in the sign that it rules.  Being careful about what one eats is important.   Many of us tolerate different foods better than others,  this has been studied with blood types.   For instance, those with type A blood are better off limiting their intake of meat and animal products and those with type O can not only handle it quite well but do better when they eat them.   Whether one believes it or not if one  has digestive issues, it’s worth checking out and seeing what works for you.   But if you find something else that does  that’s fine.   We’re here to learn and often exploring different things due to stresses in our lives often  propels people into doing so.

If your doctor or dentist has opened their office and you want to have either a routine or non-essential procedure it would be best to wait until Mercury is no longer retrograde.   Although not always but more likely than at other times people  are often less focused and as a result either miss things or make mistakes.

As mentioned, Mercury will be going direct on  July 12^,  so you can go ahead and make your appointments, purchase communications equipment, sign papers and discuss what you’ve been hoping to for a while.  Mercury comes to the point it went retrograde on July 26^th which is an even better time to pursue the aforementioned and  go after new jobs, residences and relationships.    The next time Mercury will be retrograde this year will be from October 13 thru November 3^rd.  Interestingly November 3^rd is the day  of a national election in the US, including the one for president.  A wake up call for many voters.

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Family members may not be listening to you closely or misunderstanding what you are saying. But don’t get sharp with them now, Aries. Give them more time than usual to tune in and get your point. When all else fails, take time off from the discussion and focus on more meditative pursuits. And, by the way, ask yourself, are you listening closely enough to them...?

TAURUS (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
Neighbors may reach out to you (from a safe distance) to ask or request something from you. Are you sure that you know what they are actually asking? Taureans are ready to help anyone who needs it but be sure that what you agree to do is what is actually requested. Ask for details and repeat back to them what you think they are saying. It will avoid frustration.

GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
If money is a concern or is especially tight, you may be faced with some decisions regarding relief. Now you will need to focus on all of the little details to be absolutely sure that you understand what you are undertaking. There may be misunderstanding or missing paperwork. Proceed carefully. Dot your “i”s, cross your “t”s, Gemini. Avoid a big “y”

CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
You think that you are being very clear, Cancer, but your message may be foggy to others, especially some people whose help you need. Practice in the mirror. Choose the right time to reach out and try your best to make your case. People want to help you. They just need to fully understand what you are asking of them. The world is ready to listen to you.

LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
Your intuition may be telling you one thing but the reality may be something else. So before you jump to conclusions based on a stray thought, wait and see how things pan out. Face it, Leo, you can sometimes act on pure emotions. Now is a great time to step back and see how things move along. Before you know it, you will have all the facts and can take good action.

VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
How many zoom meetings with friends will you need to feel totally clued in on what is going on in your cybersphere? Maybe more than you have time for right now, Virgo! Chill this week as the gossip mill rolls along and listen more than you talk. Rumors fly but they are just rumors. And if internet connections are fizzy, find other ways to pass the time.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
While you may want to focus more on your long term career prospects this week, it may be better to take a more short term approach, Libra. Options are changing and the landscape is not as clear as you need it to be to make decisions. But that doesn’t mean that you ignore opportunities. It means that every opportunity needs to be very carefully vetted.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
Scorpios may find that this is a good time to learn in place by taking some online courses or otherwise expanding their horizons and outlooks. Good. Hopefully all forms of communication you choose will work seamlessly. But don’t be surprised if there are some hiccups in your communications. Take it all in stride. Maybe your lessons involve leaning to fix computers.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
Sagittarians may not always be the romantics but there is something in the air this week that encourages you to express your love. But be sure to wait for the prime time and best (and safe) location. You want your feelings heard, understood, treasured and reciprocated. Timing in this case will be pivotal. Sometimes what we say is not really heard the first time..

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
Relationships may have their ups and downs this week, Capricorn. But any bumps are not caused by insurmountable problems. It may be that each of you is not really listening or are misunderstanding what you each mean. Communication may take a side road and will need time and patience to get back on track. Sometimes actions speak louder than words.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
Aquarians with cabin fever may find that tackling chores or big projects can get them out of their boredom. Approach any detailed task carefully so that you don’t waste time on trivial mistakes. Read directions carefully and be sure that you understand what you are undertaking. A small nothing can grow to a big something before you know it.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Get creative this week, Pisces, but be sure you know what you want to do and what you want to achieve. Art supplies may get misplaced. There may be more yeast than you realize in the baking pan. Your vision of the final end product may look different as you progress. Keep your mind and expectations open. Who knew that bread could be the size of a couch!

Does the Smell of Citrus Lower Street Fights?

In Stratumseind, a street in the Dutch city of Eindhoven known for its nightlife, cylinders on lamposts and balconies dispense aromatherapy to deter brawls. After an experiment showed that the smell of citrus helped calm prisoners at police stations, the city is experimenting with this aromatherapy to help police break up fights an average of 400 times a year.

Now as some groups feel the need to protest in the streets, maybe a splash of citrus will calm them down.
