The Cosmic Connection
Astrology, by definition, is the study of time and light. It is an art that has been utilized by humanity for millennia to provide a better understanding of how the cosmos affects life on Earth. One’s personal horoscope, also known as a birth chart or natal chart, is a snapshot of the sun, moon, planets and more at the date, time and location of one’s birth. This snapshot holds many keys and secrets to each individual’s characteristics. It can be considered a map, guidebook and lesson plan for life! Everything in the cosmos continues moving beyond the moment of your birth and influences your life in various cyclical ways. According to the rhythm of the sun, moon, planets, stars, and seasons at specific ages, these cycles affect your life and attitude towards life.
The weekly horoscopes provided here in Shore Local Newsmagazine are written based on your rising sign. It is my intention that these entries will assist you in deciphering what is encoded within you and provide the cosmic connection to your lived experience. So much is written in the stars!

Weekly astrology summary:
The anchor is incoming! 2025’s planetary shift relay continues this week with unusual Uranus bringing up the rear. Uranus will temporarily explore the early degrees of Gemini from Monday, July 7, until Nov. 7. Uranus last shifted signs from Aries to Taurus in 2018/2019, spending roughly seven years in each zodiac sign. Uranus usually brings surprises. It is the planet related to revolution, innovation, technology, rebellion, eccentricity and the future. Uranus in Gemini will be a much different vibe relative to the last seven years of Uranus in Taurus. This four-month preview period will reveal the themes we can expect to experience, such as new ideas, information, innovation and forms of communication. The last time Uranus was in Gemini was in the 1940s.
