July and August 2010
General Forecast
As the Art World paces itself for a long recovery form the deep dark recession and Cancer is the zodiac sign that seeks security and assurances that things are going to be a lot better. July is colored by a resolution of domestic issues and of absorbing an emotional experience that goes beyond language. Intuition is featured for everyone. The art world is looking for the new big thing like never before. In August, things get intense early on as the new starts we make after July’s eclipse teach us things about ourselves and our art that we could never have imagined.
