Dear Readers,

A vast improvement is on its way when it comes to delivering your psychic horoscopes and messages for the month: someone else will be in charge of getting them to you!

There are five planets retrograde right now, but this particular Mercury rx is a great time to experiment with potential improvements and home arrangements, better use of time, etc. I welcome your feedback about the automated delivery when it gets going, and without further ado, here’s the July newsletter! It’s separated into two posts: this one, and the one below with personal guidance, July’s Eclipse and Summer Message horoscopes, and psychic predictions.

Dear Friends,

July is always exciting in Santa Fe, but the 2019 summer season has the best and the most free entertainment of all of them…

Tonight is a special event to kick off this weekend’s International Folk Art Market, “The Procession of Nations”. Locals and visitors gather to see and greet the visiting artists representing their countries as they parade in the plaza wearing their traditional ceremonial clothes. And then we get to dance with them to world-beat percussionist Frank Leto and his band PANdemonium!

Downtown Santa Fe is the scene tomorrow night of a rare and special surprise: rhythm n blues singer Soulman Sam, who entertained Santa Fe for six great years and then moved to Austin, is in town and will be doing a show at Evangelo’s Bar on San Francisco Street, that’s Friday night the 12th. (p.s. Soulman Sam will also be there Sunday 3-6 pm)

Saturday night has even more going on! There’s a much-anticipated free concert at the Railyard with the very hot-sounding Greyhounds from Austin, Texas. Afterwards a block away at the Railyard Performance Center, there’s a deejay dance party and fundraiser for the September African dance and drum festival Wassa Wassa, with a performance by Soriba Fofana. Soriba and his band will also open for the upcoming free concert featuring the touring African singer Natu Camara, who is coming straight from Haiti. The occasion for such a spectacular Saturday night on July 20th is Jambo Café’s 10th anniversary, the beloved Santa Fe restaurant that serves so much more than good food.

Even though I have a lot to look forward to every day this Summer, early this morning the cold, cruel world invaded my happy space. My super-neat Biria step-through olive green cruiser was stolen outside a coffee shop downtown, and I had to walk home. And it was locked! The policeman who took my report was a very nice man, but the process was disturbing. I was asked for my social security number, where I worked, what I did, the name of my business, etc. Then the officer took my driver’s license to run a police check on me.

It’s much easier to forget about my bike than it is to ignore how Orwellian and intimidating America is becoming, and how our democracy is hanging by a thread. We haven’t united yet around this shocking reality, and in the bubble that is Santa Fe, it took this very different-feeling encounter with current rules to bring its pervasiveness home to me.

Which reminds me, something hopeful about this month I forgot to put in the newsletter is that this particular Mercury retrograde cycle brings solutions – it brings us back to the drawing board to get things right – and it can also bring the return of relationships, and even missing items! May it unite the country, and me with my bike!

Have a wonderful rest of the month, wherever you are,

Love,

Elissa
