Oops…I almost forgot! Sorry Said-Heads! Will he give Tony a run? I think so…
Boris Said, born 18 September 1962
Venus enters the 8th House
This is one of the best influences for all relationships: love affairs, relationships with partners, with coworkers, even with enemies. Ego forces are so in tune at this time that you can create the proper balance between yourself and everyone you meet. In your marriage or other love relationship, you will be able to express affection easily and make your feelings clear to your partner. In other partnerships, including professional ones, you are able to understand the needs of your partner so that you can arrive at maximum understanding and work together harmoniously. Be careful not to let your amiability prevent you from standing up for your own rights. You need not worry about alienating your partner, because you will be able to make it clear that you are working for your mutual benefit.
This is an extremely favorable influence for close relationships and one-to-one encounters of any sort.
This is also an excellent time to make an agreeable impression on someone new. If you have to work within a partnership, where keeping the peace is an important factor in your success, this is an excellent day. Any persons who are normally difficult to deal with will be easy to handle today. This is not a good time to be alone. You are in the mood for relating, and the day will not be complete in any way unless you share it.
Good Luck to All…

Watch out for Jeff Gordon from here on out.
If you remember at the beginning of the year, I told you that I thought that in the end the Chase would come down to Tony and Jeff Gordon? I still stand on that. The Aspects in his ‘scope turn around drastically starting at Summer Solstice, and they stay positive. He is entering a period of strength and renewal in all of his Progressions.
I also predicted that NASCAR would be wrought with controversy in 2006.
I am pretty confident that as of this point in time, I am doing failrly well on that little prediction.
Jeff Gordon, born 4 August 1971
Mercury in the 10th House
Activity period from 21 June 2006 until end of August 2006.
Valid during several months: Under this influence you should make plans concerning your professional life or the equivalent area of your life. Think about what you have been doing along these lines and whether or not it is working out as you want it to. If necessary, plan to make changes that will improve it for you. This is also a favorable time to talk to superiors, bosses or employers about your work and how you may advance in your job. This may or may not be a good time for actually trying to get a promotion, depending on other factors. But you can use this time to find the best way to go about getting a promotion. During this time you may also become involved with the part of your business that involves communicating with the outside world, either through advertising or through contract negotiations.
Moon Square Uranus ( Note the same aspect in Robby Gordon’s ‘scope. Will they have some issues with each other? )
Activity period from 25 June 2006 to 26 June 2006.
Weak, transient effect: Tonight the quality of time arouses an independent and rebellious spirit in you. You are inclined to do exactly the opposite of what someone suggests and to reject whatever others say simply because they said it. For the same reasons you are impatient with restraints, duties and responsibilities. There is a great need to be free and to do something very different, maybe even a little bit wild. You have a strong craving for excitement with this influence, and you may act in ways that you would never consider in a more sober mood. This could be either good or bad, of course, depending on how conservative you usually are and how unusual or outrageous the action. For some people this can be a very liberating influence. For others it is a bit too much.
Moon Sextile Mercury
Activity period from 25 June 2006 to 26 June 2006.
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day this influence is likely to increase the tempo of your social intercourse for a few hours. You find it relatively easy to verbalize your feelings. If you have a problem or situation that you cannot handle, this is a good time to take it to a sympathetic friend. Getting another viewpoint will help you. And, of course, you may do the same for someone else. Often this time is filled with news from friends or with letters and phone calls. Actually you are attracting communication from every conceivable corner of your life. This is a good time to write letters to the people you feel strongly about. But some people under this influence become so passive that it is difficult to take such an initiative. Their tendency is to allow others to take the initiative.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., born 10 October 1974
Mercury Sextile Med.Coeli
Activity period from 24 June 2006 until beginning of August 2006.
Valid during several weeks: This is a good time for communicating with people, writing letters or planning a course of action in your career or your home and personal life. You are inclined to spend a lot of time thinking under this influence, and others may see you as being all thought and no action.
However, this is the time for plans, not for action. Your mind should be very clear today, and you should be in touch with your feelings and emotions to an unusual extent, even about aspects of yourself that you normally keep hidden because you cannot express them clearly. Therefore, the plans you make today are more in keeping with your real inner desires than usual. In your job this is a good time to clear away paperwork and handle the more trivial aspects of your work, because you can pay very close attention to details.
Moon Square Pluto
Activity period from 25 June 2006 to 26 June 2006.
Weak, transient effect: This influence can have many different effects, some of which you should be quite careful of. To begin with, it encourages compulsive behavior; your emotions acquire so much momentum that it is difficult not to give in to sudden urges and impulses that may not be good for you in the long run, particularly if you have been trying to suppress your feelings. This influence is least difficult if you deal with your feelings honestly and do not try to hide them from yourself. On the plus side, however, this influence allows you to go inside yourself and find out what you really want in any situation. Emotional self-analysis is very effective now, as long as you are willing to be honest. Encounters with others may also force an emotional self- confrontation which is useful, even though possibly unpleasant.
Matt Kenseth, born 10 March 1972
Moon Square Pluto
Active only on 25 June 2006.
Weak, transient effect: This influence can have many different effects, some of which you should be quite careful of. To begin with, it encourages compulsive behavior; your emotions acquire so much momentum that it is difficult not to give in to sudden urges and impulses that may not be good for you in the long run, particularly if you have been trying to suppress your feelings.

Emotional self-analysis is very effective now, as long as you are willing to be honest. Encounters with others may also force an emotional self- confrontation which is useful, even though possibly unpleasant.
** Interesting note: Matt’s Moon and Sun are both sextile Venus today. This mainly affects his personal relationship with Katie, his family and friends. It is a very positive double aspect which makes him very appreciated and loved. Perhaps his fans will feel especially loyal during the race.
Dale Jarrett, born 26 November 1956
Mercury Sextile Jupiter
Activity period from 24 June 2006 until beginning of August 2006.
Valid during several weeks: Under this influence your attention turns to the larger issues in your life, and you will spend some time considering your overall plans for the future. Your hopes and wishes are much more important today, for the daily concerns of your life do not seem to satisfy your desire for significance. Today it is not enough to meet the demands of the day; you want to understand how they fit into an overall pattern. Being clear about what you want out of life will help you greatly in your dealings with other people. This is a very favorable time for all business negotiations, commercial transactions and contract discussions. It is also favorable for dealings with the law. And all of this is because of your self- understanding today, helped by a certain generosity of feeling toward others.
Kyle Busch, born 2 May 1985
Mars Sextile Moon
Activity period from 24 June 2006 to 27 June 2006.
You will have a strong desire to experience with all of your faculties as a whole person, not just with your mind. Also you will defend your beliefs and opinions with emotional and passionate fervor. It is not that you are looking for a fight, but you will not run from one either. You won’t allow anyone to walk all over you so long as this influence lasts. You seek out relationships and friends who will arouse your emotions as well as your intellect, and you may be on the lookout for someone with whom you can have a passionate sexual relationship. This influence also makes existing sexual relationships (remember this will signify aggression on the track) more intense. You will have the energy to work very hard, but only on projects that affect you personally. There is some impulsiveness with this influence and a tendency to leap to conclusions.
Kurt Busch, born 4 August 1978
Moon Sextile Chiron
Activity period from 25 June 2006 to 26 June 2006
During this time your feelings make themselves more noticeable than usual - even small
Embarrassments become extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, if you should make any mistake today, you should not immediately accuse yourself for it, as it is probably not as serious as it seems. This sensitivity, though, also gives you a good feel for the weaknesses and sensibilities of others, so that you can be very tactful and accommodating about them. In this way you encourage others to be open and also admit to their sore points. Your capacity for understanding and your readiness to take due account of personal traits, offers others - for example children - enough security to trust you.
Mark Martin, born 9 January 1959
Sun Sextile Pluto
Under this influence you will be able to make changes in your immediate environment and to reform circumstances that you have been unhappily contending with for some time. You should seize any opportunities that come today to wield creative power for the good. However, it is very important to realize that these energies must be used for the improvement of all and the general good. Only incidentally should this power benefit your purely personal ends. Today you will probably have to confront the power of a group or collective that you deal with every day. But the results are not likely to be disadvantageous. You will have to realign your own intentions with the collective intentions of the group  friends, neighbors or business associates  but this will probably work to your advantage.

Robby ~
When you are aware of aspects that can lean you towards a not so good day ~ you can change the negatives into positive rewards…The more unpleasant looking aspects are all weak transient aspects. That means they are short, sweet and controllable. You can easily change the affects these aspects have on you with awareness and self control.
Rosi!
Jen!
All you Robby fans at On the Move-Robby Gordon.com, The Flash Zone,
Robby Gordon Rocks and The Fan Zone … say a little prayer. Let’s get started on changing things around for Robby.
Theme of the Day for Sonoma: Expect the unexpected.
Robby Gordon, born 2 January 1969
Sun Square Uranus exact at 09:53
Activity period from 24 June 2006 to 26 June 2006
This can be a somewhat disruptive influence, during which you are subject to sudden upsets or to behavior that is upsetting to others. Under this influence it is quite likely that you will not follow your normal routine as on other days. There could be an automobile breaking down unexpectedly, a sudden argument or an unexpected separation from someone. The point is that you can expect the unexpected today. You are striving to break down your everyday routine, and it would be best to find ways of doing this intentionally, rather than waiting for it to happen. Let the restless spirit within you express itself. You need new air! You may very well discover a valuable aspect of yourself that you never knew existed, because you were afraid to let it come out.
(I swear I don’t make this up. It is program generated)
The previous aspect can be balanced out by this one:
Moon Trine Mars exact at 05:53
Active only on 25 June 2006
Weak, transient effect: This morning you can assert yourself in a positive manner and stand
your ground if necessary. You may feel more courage and confidence than usual, which you express by taking the initiative in making emotional contacts with others. You speak very directly and forcefully, but without being offensive, which others will respect you for. This is a good time to work as a leader with groups of people. You understand what is needed, and you can unify your objectives and theirs, usually by talking them around to your point of view. Whenever you talk with others, you radiate an inner excitement, as if you were ready for immediate action. Under this influence you have the capacity to start projects, although you should keep in mind that this is a short- term influence and its effects will not last long.
Moon Conjunction Moon exact at 05:34
Active only on 25 June 2006.
Weak, transient effect: Certainly, this morning emotional attitudes figure more prominently than usual. You should be careful not to lose your objectivity in a discussion or lose your sense of perspective. But you will not feel particularly good or bad with this influence; rather, you will feel any emotion more strongly. Sometimes there is a tendency to attract things to you at this time. Women may also be more important to you than usual. Objects, persons and places that are familiar to you are very important at this time because you need emotional reassurance from your surrounding. You may try to withdraw from others or from confrontations with unfamiliar or strange situations. This is not a negative condition; it arises out of a need to be by yourself for a while.
Moon Square Uranus exact at 09:09
Activity period from 25 June 2006 to 26 June 2006.
Weak, transient effect: Today during the day the quality of time arouses an independent and rebellious spirit in you. You are inclined to do exactly the opposite of what someone suggests and to reject whatever others say simply because they said it. For the same reasons you are impatient with restraints, duties and responsibilities. There is a great need to be free and to do something very different, maybe even a little bit wild. You have a strong craving for excitement with this influence, and you may act in ways that you would never consider in a more sober mood. This could be either good or bad, of course, depending on how conservative you usually are and how unusual or outrageous the action. For some people this can be a very liberating influence. For others it is a bit too much.
Moon Square Jupiter exact at 12:03
Activity period from 25 June 2006 to 26 June 2006.
Weak, transient effect: This is usually a very positive influence, making you feel very benevolent and generous toward those around you. Today during the day your spirit is inclined toward contemplation of the loftier aspects of life. You are not concerned with the nasty little details that make life less than it should be, although you are aware of them. But you simply cannot see any point in paying any attention to them. Emotionally you feel quite good, for this influence promotes optimism and positive thinking. At times this influence indicates self- righteousness and smug arrogance, as if you considered yourself as the embodiment of social truth and wisdom. This attitude may not be entirely conscious on your part, but it may be subtly evident in your phrasing or in an unspoken attitude toward others.
Moon Square Chiron exact at 00:10
Activity period from 24 June 2006 to 25 June 2006.
At this time you have to deal with your own hurt feelings - either you are reminded of old wounds by some incident, or a sore point is disturbed again. Maybe you feel a little weak and are conscious of a certain aversion to handling the usual everyday interchanges - a feeling as if you were coming down with flu. If you now have the need to be alone, then that is what you should really do. If you make too many demands on yourself or if you are not left in peace, you may become hurtful to others - for example, your children if you are a parent - as a result of certain indifference. Fortunately, this influence lasts at most half a day.
Stay away from Kyle Busch if at all possible.

NASCAR Astro-Predictions and Driver Horoscopes for Sonoma ~ Tony Stewart
I am going in a little different direction for the Sonoma ‘Scopes. I am only posting the driver’s I think have a chance to be in the top ten at the end of the race.
I will be leaving again for two weeks and will be back on or around the 10th of July. Due to the remote area that we will be in, I will not have satelltite line of site to be able to post for Daytona. I have made arrangements with a friend to post the ‘scopes for me. Thanks, B.
Tony Stewart, born 20 May 1971
Sun Sextile Mercury exact at 04:17 Activity period from 24 June 2006 to 26 June 2006
This will be a very favorable day for all kinds of communications and personal interchange with others. Even routine connections with friends and neighbors will be very fruitful, for you will be able to get through to each other with greater clarity. This is an excellent day for communicating something important to another person, in which it is necessary to be precisely clear. If you have to present the views of a group and your ideas must be in tune with theirs, this will be a favorable time. But this is also a good day to examine your own goals and expectations. This influence favors all types of commercial transactions, buying and selling or negotiating deals favorably. Today is fine for traveling for any purpose, although you will be best served if it stimulates your mind or has an educational purpose.
Moon Sextile Venus exact at 09:38 
Active only on 25 June 2006.
Today during the day you want to be with your friends and the people you love. This influence helps to ensure that you will have a reasonably pleasant time with them. Feelings of love and friendship may build in all areas of your life now, and you feel that life is richer and a little more rewarding. It is a good time to have friends to your home for entertainment. You are able to make them feel good, and they will appreciate it, for you make it clear that you care about them. In general, your home situation and immediate environment will be the sources of your greatest satisfaction during this period. Your light and cheerful mood will be picked up by everyone around you, too. However, you should be careful not to become passive.
Venus Opposition Neptune exact at 08:31 Activity period from 24 June 2006 to 26 June 2006
During this time you should be careful of your relationships. This influence has many possibilities, some good, some difficult. Your unrealistic ideals may lead to acute disappointment with loved ones, unless you make an effort to understand and accept the reality of your relationships. A typical illusion to beware of is picturing yourself in a love relationship as the unselfish, giving one who sacrifices everything for the other. This is a blatant ego game in which the ultimate purpose may be to gain control over the other by manipulating feelings of obligation. Although this influence is capable of producing a beautiful romantic experience, you cannot depend upon it continuing forever. Enjoy it for itself and do not make demands upon it. Beauty does not need to be justified.
Venus Opposition Jupiter exact at 11:33 Activity period from 24 June 2006 to 26 June 2006.
This influence makes you inclined to excessive indulgence, but it also indicates great pleasure, joy and satisfaction, if you have the sense not to overdo. You are certainly not going to feel driven by ambition and the desire to conquer the world. You will want to sit around and take it easy or go out and buy some expensive, luxurious toy. This is certainly not the day to go shopping if saving money is your object, because you will buy them, even against your practical common sense. Perhaps your worst trouble will result from overeating. A certain aspect of this influence signifies heavy, rich, sweet foods. A bad day for diets! You also may drink to excess, leaving tomorrow for recovery. This much must be said: you will enjoy doing it, and that is not all bad.
Moon Square Uranus exact at 22:50 Activity period from 25 June 2006 to 26 June 2006.
Tonight the quality of time arouses an independent and rebellious spirit in you. You are inclined to do exactly the opposite of what someone suggests and to reject whatever others say simply because they said it. For the same reasons you are impatient with restraints, duties and responsibilities. There is a great need to be free and to do something very different, maybe even a little bit wild. You have a strong craving for excitement with this influence, and you may act in ways that you would never consider in a more sober mood. This could be either good or bad, of course, depending on how conservative you usually are and how unusual or outrageous the action. For some people this can be a very liberating influence. For others it is a bit too much.
Moon Sextile Mercury exact at 11:31 Activity period from 25 June 2006 to 26 June 2006
Today during the day this influence is likely to increase the tempo of your social intercourse for a few hours. You find it relatively easy to verbalize your feelings. If you have a problem or situation that you cannot handle, this is a good time to take it to a sympathetic friend. Getting another viewpoint will help you. And, of course, you may do the same for someone else. Often this time is filled with news from friends or with letters and phone calls. Actually you are attracting communication from every conceivable corner of your life. This is a good time to write letters to the people you feel strongly about. But some people under this influence become so passive that it is difficult to take such an initiative. Their tendency is to allow others to take the initiative.

It is always amazing what you can find, sell or see on Ebay. Thanks to Charlie Bear for the heads up.
“Dale Jr. is looking to upgrade his car collection, so he is auctioning his 2002 Mini Cooper. This vehicle, which was purchased new by Dale Jr. in 2002, has been completely modified to provide the ultimate in performance and appearance. With only 3124 original miles, it is equipped with an upgraded computer, exhaust, transmission, clutch, and suspension.
In addition, it has an installed super charger providing high-end torque to the 270 hp engine. The interior is custom carbon fiber and chrome plated. All modifications were completed by Mini Mania, the leading tuner in Mini Coopers. Dale Jr. has personally autographed the sun visor, and he is willing to autograph the dash if desired by the new owner.
The winning bidder will be given the opportunity to receive the vehicle personally from Dale Jr. at his home in North Carolina.”
I think I know a few people that would do just about anything to buy that car (or buy the car just to get to meet Jr…)
In the Q&A section about the car is the following information:
“This particular vehicle is not involved with a charity association. The performance of the car has been enhanced due to modifications.
The car dynoed at 223 to the ground, which, when the 20% loss through the drivetrain is calculated, is actually 269.9 at the flywheel. The pulley is a 17% which is what was suggested for daily driving. The head and intake were ported and polished with new stainless valves. The cams were changed. The header/exhaust system was changed, the injectors were upsized and the computer was remapped. The springs, struts, brakes and sway bars were changed. The larger brakes required the larger wheels for clearance.
The vehicle has not been smoked in, and there are no other unusual smells associated with the interior.” (**Would he spray some of his cologne inside when the car was picked up? It would be nice of Jr. to throw a bottle of his cologne in the deal, so the new owner can keep it smelling like him.)
The bid is up to $28,100.00 as of right now. (How high can it go? Can it beat the price of Robby Gordon’s helmet?) The blue book price for your average, not souped up Mini Cooper S is $20,640.00 from a private party seller. Yes, if it stayed at that price, someone would be getting the deal of a lifetime. Heck! I’d buy it myself.
I have always thought the Mini Cooper’s were cute. I would rip the bottom of that car out in seconds. I’m a 4WD kind of girl. 4WD isn’t an option for me. It’s a necessity.
Wonder what I could turn around and sell it for…huummmmrrrr?

The astrological aspects for Sonoma are very intense and complicated. I am experimenting with a new program for uploading my ’scopes a little faster, so bear with me if my posts look weird or show up and then disappear occasionally today. I will drive Technorati crazy…
Ping!! Ping! Poing! Ping!
A lot of fans don‘t like Sonoma and Watkins Glenn as they are road courses. They are my two favorite tracks. The skill it takes to win at these tracks is amazing to me. I also get to see all my favorite Driver‘s do their thing. Tony Stewart, Robby Gordon, Boris Said, Ryan Newman. They go head to head with my least favorite driver‘s, Jeff Gordon and Kurt and Kyle Busch , who unfortunately are also very good on road courses.
I will experiment with my new program on Jimmy Johnson and Ryan Newman.

Venus in the 7th House exact at 13:43 UT
Activity period from 25 June 2006 until end of July 2006
Valid during several weeks: This is one of the best influences for all relationships: love affairs, relationships with partners, with coworkers, even with enemies. Ego forces are so in tune at this time that you can create the proper balance between yourself and everyone you meet. In your marriage or other love relationship, you will be able to express affection easily and make your feelings clear to your partner. In other partnerships, including professional ones, you are able to understand the needs of your partner so that you can arrive at maximum understanding and work together harmoniously. Be careful not to let your amiability prevent you from standing up for your own rights. You need not worry about alienating your partner, because you will be able to make it clear that you are working for your mutual benefit.
Venus Opposition Ascendant exact at 13:43 UT
Activity period from 25 June 2006 to 26 June 2006
This is an extremely favorable influence for close relationships, partnerships and one-to-one encounters of any sort. A marriage or love relationship should go smoothly today, with both of you showing a great deal of affection. If there are any difficulties between you, smooth them out today, because neither of you will want to argue. You will both be much more interested in making peace.
This is also an excellent time to make an agreeable impression on someone new. If you have to work within a partnership, where keeping the peace is an important factor in your success, this is an excellent day. Any persons who are normally difficult to deal with will be easy to handle today. This is not a good time to be alone. You are in the mood for relating, and the day will not be complete in any way unless you share it.
Moon Square Pluto exact at 17:35 UT
Activity period from 25 June 2006 to 26 June 2006.
This is a weak, transient effect: This influence can have many different effects, some of which you should be quite careful of. To begin with, it encourages compulsive behavior; your emotions acquire so much momentum that it is difficult not to give in to sudden urges and impulses that may not be good for you in the long run, particularly if you have been trying to suppress your feelings. This influence is least difficult if you deal with your feelings honestly and do not try to hide them from yourself. On the plus side, however, this influence allows you to go inside yourself and find out what you really want in any situation. Emotional self-analysis is very effective now, as long as you are willing to be honest. Encounters with others may also force an emotional self- confrontation which is useful, even though possibly unpleasant.
Moon in the 8th House exact at 07:24 UT
Activity period from 25 June 2006 to 28 June 2006
During this time your emotional experiences are much more intense than usual, which is reflected in the kinds of people and situations that you are drawn to. For example, you may draw in unusually intense or powerful people who have a strong effect upon you. Very often through your emotional encounters with these people, you experience moods and feelings that are quite different from your “normal” self. You may ask if this is really you, it seems so different. And you may also desire something that belongs to someone else, or you may desire greater control over something that is both yours and another’s. In either case you must recognize that your attachment serves no real purpose and that it is a potential source of trouble.
Moon Trine Uranus exact at 02:42 UT
Active only on 25 June 2006
Weak, transient effect: This morning you are likely to crave emotional excitement, something that departs from the routine of your daily life. You are likely to seek out people who are different from those you usually meet. You might spend the day or evening in very different surroundings. And while you may feel a bit impulsive, these impulses make you feel more alive rather than inclined to act rashly or stupidly. On a more quiet level, you may use this energy to make needed changes in your immediate personal life or your domestic environment. While others may seem startled by your apparently sudden moves, these changes should be constructive, and the people in your life will accept them. If you have to deal with groups of people or with the general public, you will advocate change and new policies.
Important Long Term Aspects
Pluto Sextile Moon
Activity period from beginning of February 2005 until end of November 2006
Valid during many months: At this time you have the chance to get in touch with your innermost psychological being and experience your real emotions. You can understand your real motives and the basis of your unconscious compulsions and drives. You will experience your emotions as profound, real and intense, but not difficult. Because of this you can learn about aspects of your personality that are normally hidden even from yourself. This is an excellent time for encountering philosophies of human potential and growth. But you won’t have to deal with it abstractly, because even in your everyday relationships you will handle people with much more emotional depth and feeling than usual.
This influence can affect your personal and domestic life as well as your innermost psychological nature. It gives the opportunity to make creative changes and reforms in your relationships with the people you see every day, such as your family, relatives and parents. You may make physical changes in your home that reflect the changes taking place within you, so that your immediate surroundings more closely harmonize with your feelings.
But there is little sense of turmoil with this influence. You have a strong sense of belonging, and those who are close to you support the changes that are happening inside you, which makes it easier to progress. Past conditioning, which often causes difficulties by generating inappropriate behavior, will actually give you a boost now. You have a strong feeling that you have something to fall back on, and that whatever you have to do will work out favorably. But you will not be run by past conditioning. Because even as it operates, you can see its actions and understand it.
Pluto Trine Venus
Activity period from beginning of March 2005 until end of September 2007.
Valid during many months: This influence emphasizes the creative and romantic aspects of your life. It can bring a new relationship or deepen an old one. A new one that comes at this time will be notable for the strength of the feelings involved. It could hardly be described as casual. There is a compulsive quality about the energies that drive you and your partner together, but this is not at all negative. It will merely seem to both of you that this relationship was inevitable, and you will both find that it is a learning experience of the best possible kind. You will learn a great deal about the energies within each of you that are at work in a relationship. You may discover that love is less conscious and that you act much more from blind compulsion than you realized. But this realization is the first step toward becoming conscious of your feelings.
Your existing relationships will also enter a period of creative change. Your feelings are stronger now, and again you will both learn more about the way you operate in the relationship.
Your creative energies will be aroused and if you are in any way artistic, you will be able to put deep, feeling energy into your creations as never before. Others will recognize the intensity that has gone into your work, for which you may very well receive considerable recognition.
Art and love will have one element in common during this time; that is, the experience of them will transport you out of the commonplace into the extraordinary, for that is what you are seeking. Art and love should have a considerable impact on your life now and affect your future for many years to come.

This influence usually denotes a brief period of good feelings and generosity toward others. Today during the day you feel that everything is all right, and you have nothing to fear. You express your self-confidence by being above petty irritations. Not easily angered, you tolerate even the most harsh behavior from other people. But you probably won’t have to contend with “harsh behavior,” because the energy of this influence does not arouse it in those around you. You will get what you give kindness, friendship and nurturing support. This influence can also awaken your concern for the deeper aspects of life. You may seek metaphysical and spiritual insights, but with your heart rather than your mind. Rational knowledge is not likely to satisfy you at this time.
Moon Opposition Mercury exact at 16:50 UT
Activity period from 25 June 2006 to 26 June 2006.
Today during the day you may experience a real conflict between feelings and reason, or you may have a very fruitful dialogue about the state of your soul, either internally or with another person. In the first instance, old habits, prejudices and childhood patterns of thought are very likely to take precedence over what you usually consider reasonable; obviously this is not a good time to enter into delicate negotiations or to engage in an important discussion. As for the other side of this influence, this is a good time to withdraw by yourself or with another person and get in touch with your feelings. As long as you recognize that your emotions are emotions rather than rational judgments, you will not have trouble with this influence. In fact, you can learn a great deal about yourself, because your feelings are very clear.
Moon in the 5th House exact at 02:18
activity period from 25 June 2006 to 26 June 2006.
You need to be yourself now and to feel what you really are. In your relations with others, you will project much more emotionally than usual, and if some people do not like this side of you it may be necessary to reconsider your friendship with them. In love relationships, you will experience greater emotional depth than usual, and consequently your experience with a lover will be much more intense. The only danger to watch out for here is that you may be too possessive of the other person. Also you may be so wrapped up in your own feelings that you are unaware of the other’s feelings. Relations with women in general are improved by this influence. Regardless of your own sex, your experiences with them will very likely show you a great deal about yourself in a positive way.
Moon Sextile Saturn exact at 05:48
active only on 25 June 2006
In the morning you may feel like being alone with your thoughts and feelings. Your mood is not usually bad or depressed, you simply desire to be calm and reflective. But you are probably not in the mood for frivolity. You prefer the company of serious people, if any, and you want the conversation to be about important topics. Under this influence you may feel the need to consult someone whose higher vantage point you respect. You are able to balance your emotional needs with your sense of duty and obligation. While you are aware of your feelings, you do not let them overwhelm you. In all proceedings you are thrifty and careful. You are also very careful and thorough in your approach to any kind of work now. It is not likely that you will have to do any task over, nor will anyone else have to clean up after you.
Moon Sextile Chiron exact at 07:48
active only on 25 June 2006
During this time your feelings make themselves more noticeable than usual - even small embarrassments become extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, if you should make any mistake today, you should not immediately accuse yourself for it, as it is probably not as serious as it seems. This sensitivity, though, also gives you a good feel for the weaknesses and sensibilities of others, so that you can be very tactful and accommodating about them. In this way you encourage others to be open and also admit to their sore points. Your capacity for understanding and your readiness to take due account of personal traits, offers others - for example children - enough security to trust you.
Long Term Aspects
Uranus Trine Uranus
Activity period from middle of April 2006 until end of December 2007.
Valid during many months: During this time in your late twenties, you become conscious that you have grown up. Any structures in your life that have held over from childhood and adolescence appear inappropriate now. You recognize your adulthood and want to take your place among adults and no longer be regarded as a child. You are seeking independence from the factors that limited you as a child, and you are trying to establish your own way of thinking about the world. If during your early adult years prior to this time you were part of a group that tended to think alike, you may no longer want to think that way. That was fine when you were a young adult, relatively insecure in your independence and needing assurance from others. Now you want your own way of thinking.
At this time you are likely to make rather significant changes in your life in order to achieve more perfect self-expression. You may be inclined to throw over an existing personal relationship in order to liberate yourself from the restrictions it imposed and to look for new relationships that will better fit your needs.
Chiron Sextile Med.Coeli
Activity period from beginning of March 2006 until middle of January 2007.
Valid during many months: This rather subtle aspect indicates a time in which you will be more courageous and determined to stand up for those things which you feel are vitally important. If you have had a hard time turning your dreams into reality you should now be able to find concrete ways of expressing yourself which more closely reflect your true nature. You will probably come to recognize more clearly those areas in your life which are primarily concerned with fulfilling the expectations of others. This is a very good time to consider carefully whether the obligations you have taken on are truly your responsibility. If you have been carrying other people’s burdens - possibly in the hope of gaining their affection - you could come to the painful realization that you have been deluding yourself, and that others have only taken advantage of your willingness to help. It is not too late to change such behavior. This will help you to stop wasting your energy in such a futile way, enabling you to devote more of your time to developing your own talents.
If your relationship with your parents or someone in authority has been tense and reserved now is a good time to reach some kind of conciliation. A discussion in which you are not afraid to talk openly about hurtful experiences could work wonders. This is more likely to be the case if you can express your feelings in a non-reproachful manner, showing them that in your heart of hearts you still love them, despite any hurt they may have caused you.
Mars in the 6th House
Activity period from middle of May 2006 until beginning of July 2006
Valid during several weeks: At this time you will throw your ego energies into working hard and getting things done. Now you are much more able to defer tomorrow’s pleasure for today’s work. In fact you are likely to take considerable pride in how much work you can do during this time. So the best way to handle this energy is to find plenty of work and do it. You may not want to work for someone else; instead, you want the credit for your accomplishments yourself, so that you are identified with what you do. This can lead to conflicts with your superiors and general difficulty in your work situation. Even if you are the employer, there may be difficulty if the people who work for you feel that you are not giving them enough credit. The best solution is to maneuver yourself into a position where you don’t have to work with or for others any more than necessary.

Oh!! My goodness! Will Jeff Green and Johnny Sauter be looking for new rides? Doesn’t look to me like there will be much money left for Mr. Haas to be playing with cars.
NASCAR.COM - Haas indicted: tax fraud and witness intimidation - Jun 20, 2006
Gene Haas was arrested Monday and charged with orchestrating a tax fraud that cost the government nearly $20 million as well as intimidating witnesses and a federal agent investigating the case, the New York Times reported in Tuesday’s editions.
Haas, 54, owns the No. 66 Nextel Cup car, driven by Jeff Green, and the No. 00 Busch Series car, driven by Johnny Sauter.
Haas, who made his Cup Series debut in 2002 with driver Jack Sprague, has made 127 starts in NASCAR’s premier series. The Cup team has six top-10 finishes, including a fourth at Richmond with Mike Bliss on Sept. 11, 2004.
Haas, the owner of Haas Automation and other companies, was accused in a 52-page indictment of running a bogus invoicing scheme to create fake deductions. Haas was ordered held without bail after his arraignment in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.
Justice Department lawyers said they feared Haas might try to flee to China, where he has business interests.
Haas Automation, in a statement, said that Haas is not guilty and that the tax issues “revolve around” the company’s former chief financial officer, John Phillips. It said the indictment would have no effect on the business.
Last month, Haas Automation won, by default, a lawsuit filed in Ventura County Superior Court accusing Phillips of cheating the company out of $27.5 million.
The transactions described in that lawsuit are among those listed in the federal indictment, said company spokesman Peter Zierhut.
Phillips, identified only by his initials in the indictment, went to the FBI in April 2001 and told them that he had been ordered by Haas eight months earlier to cheat the government out of more than $8.9 million in taxes, the Justice Department said. Phillips is an unindicted co-conspirator.
The indictment identified Charles Todd of Minden, Nev., as the owner of a nonexistent company, Supermill, doing business as American Putter, that was paid $12 million for sham purchase orders and then funneled 98 percent of that back to Haas. Todd appeared in Federal District Court in Los Angeles on Monday and agreed to plead guilty to two tax evasion charges, the Justice Department said.
Another man, Kenneth Greene, also agreed Monday to plead guilty over his role in aiding the tax fraud.
Denis Dupuis, 51, a former general manager of Haas Automation, and Robert Cable, 73, a former salesman for the firm, were indicted, accused of helping fabricate the tax deductions. They were paid about 2 percent of the $23 million in face value of the sham invoices, the indictment said.
The other 98 percent of the money was funneled back to Haas, according to the indictment. It said Haas cheated the government out of $12.5 million on his personal tax returns and $7.7 million on Haas Automation’s returns in 2000 and 2001.
