PEOPLE'S ASTROLOGY

By Genie Parker

July 4, 1976 is certainly a date to be reckoned with on our planet. It symbolizes, at least in our idealistic dreams, the movement of humanity towards "freedom and justice for all." In reality, the situation in which we find ourselves is the point of reckoning.

July 4th this year finds the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Libra, very close to the planet Pluto (also in Libra). These relationships are right on time to aid our thoughts on the points in question: namely, "freedom and justice for all" on a daily level in our lives-although it almost sounds trite, in this day and age in America.

Cancer is the Zodiac sign most concerned with home life and immediate surroundings. Libra is the Zodiac sign most concerned with harmony , justice, and a balanced life.

The positioning of Pluto in Libra over many years reflects the sensitivity of people in general towards realizing the deep-felt need for a harmonious and just lifestyle. This is the time for that realization, along with the understanding that it can be actualized through group efforts. The Civil Rights Act, the Equal Rights Amendment, and the various environmental and consumer protection laws, along with the new federal Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, are all efforts towards a just life.

These next couple of weeks are a very strong time for these' kinds of social efforts. There are a number of planetary relationships, among them a major move by Uranus in Scorpio, that point to extremes of intensity in people's reactions to what's happening around us. In Detroit, with our city layoffs involving police, firefighlers, and emergency medical units, we can be sure of a lot of strong reactions.

We can be glad the Full Moon is in Capricorn this month on the 11th. Capricorn tends to be more practical than many. Here's hoping more people are sensitive to that influence than not-these are hot and heavy times, when we need to get our thing together, not fall apart.

When you read the following suggestions, be sure and read your rising and Moon signs, as well as your Sun (birth) sign.

 Aries (March April 18)-If you're  smart, you'll put your energy into being helpful to other people. It's easy for you to be irritable and too critical in a picky way during this time. Use your imagination, and enjoy the people around you more!
