We are excited to announce that we will host our second annual overnight camp-out in the city, theHomegrown Jamboree, as part of the Homegrown National Park Project this summer.
In partnership with Fort York, on August 22-23, we’ll be inviting a limited number of families to join our Homegrown Park Rangers for a night of camping on the grounds of the national historic site, located in the heart of downtown Toronto.
The cost for the Homegrown Jamboree is $30 per adult and $15 per child, including all meals, fun activities, s’mores by the campfire, ghost walks and more. Each family will need to provide their own tents and sleeping bags. Equipment can be rented, or better yet borrowed from campers in your networks.
If your family is interested in participating in the Homegrown Jamboree, please register ASAP. Apply early and be sure to let us know why you think your troop of happy campers is keen to join us! Application closes on July 24.
And this Friday will be our second Homegrown Pizza in the Park event of the season. We’ll once again have Pizzeria Libretto cooking slices, plus BBQ corn and watermelon.
If you want to make it a Pizza + Movie night, join us at the screening of “All the time in the world” at Bloor Cinema for 4p.m. Use our discount code DSPIZZANIGHT for $9 tickets. Then join us at Christie Pits Park for pizza at 6 p.m! Show us your ticket and get a dollar off your pizza.
In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. :)
The Moon Void-off-Course:
There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void off Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void off Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-off-Course moon…
Good for Void-Off-Course Moon:
These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.
Cancer
Taurus
Sagittarius
Pisces…
Opportunity Periods (thanks to astrologer Jim Shawvan):
There are other periods throughout the month that are known as opportunity periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods.

Caution is advised when doing up letters, emails and relaying messages, as much as we may think we have it right, it’s better to check one more time
In the 9th house: This can be a good time to finish up a study session, or to begin a new one. We want to expand our minds now, so go ahead, but take care not to carried away. Travel may beckon us, go if you can, if not check out a fabulous travel show on t.v. Routines may get a shake up, those of us who need a routine to stay focused could be feeling emotionally out of sorts for the next couple of days.
It’s a good time to get those lists and notes made up… we can feel good about putting pen to paper now.
Boredom may be at our door step and we may feel more restless than usual.

What does it all mean?
Aries is action, he is the most masculine of the Zodiac signs as he is ruled by the planet Mars
We should have slightly more get up and go when the moon is in Aries
We are happy to defend our loved ones
We are apt to speak up more, even those of us who consider themselves to be “timid” can find the voice they need right now.
May be a good time to get your message across or to ask for what you need
Be careful when driving especially when upset or angry
We may be more susceptible to head injuries or head aches
We could be eager to start projects now, however, we have just experienced a full moon, (time to finish up) so if you really want to start something now, choose something small… :)
Be careful about while engaging in physical activities, we may feel stronger or more “heroic” at the moment but our bodies might not be in the same “zone” :)
We may be more decisive than usual, as always use caution …
Be careful about saying yes to everything right now, we might feel like we can handle more, but when the time comes we could be sorry we took on so much at once.
Being healthy and feeling good so we can help others, or at the very least get our chores done may be on the agenda for the next few days.
In the 6th house: Being of service to others may come easier than usual, some of us may actually enjoy it. work can be more fulfilling but take care not to take on too much at once. We may find time spent with our pets more relaxing. If you are feeling stressed, go out for a nice relaxing walk, it will ease your mind and it’s good for the body too.
In the 7th house: The desire for harmony in our relationship is strong, so take care who you chose as your alliances, both in your personal and business world. Being in comfortable surroundings with soft lights and colors is an easy way to de-stress and chill out.
Adults with a strong mars or Aries influence may be acting more like children than adults.
Some of us could be more insensitive or appear more selfish to others.
If you aren’t looking to enlarge your family right now, take care, Aries has a lot of sexual energy to utilize… ;)
The Moon in Aries will have a slight effect on all of us, but it will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts: Along with those who have a strong Virgo or Libra placement in their charts

Opportunity Period: Very short period: July 7 8:57 am (ET) 5:57 (PT) to 12:38 pm (ET) @9:38 am (PT)
What does it all mean?
Pisces is compassionate and caring but can be taken for granted
Sometimes Pisces isn’t about helping others but helping oneself.
We can be more psychic during a Pisces moon, but we can also be easily deceived, so be sure of the “messages” received during this time.
Be careful if something sounds too good to be true, look for the hidden agenda
We can be susceptible to taking in stray animals and stray people now.
Our hearts can be broken or melted during this time depending on who is telling us what and what may be revealed now.
We can feel more spiritual with a Pisces moon, indicating this could be a good time to join a church or spiritual group
Keep an open mind when delving into new spiritual situations, ask questions and don’t believe everything you hear or see.
We can be wistful, impressionable, nostalgic and dreamy now.
In the 5th house: We may find we are spending more time with kids and pets… It’ s a time to have some fun, be entertained, or be entertaining… This could be a challenging time for those who enjoy sticking to a routine, and for those who love to fun it may be more than they usually handle. A healthy balance between work (duty) and play is strongly encouraged.
In the 6th house: Our well-being may be on our mind and our health may be in focus. We could be tempted to do more for less or find we are in a position to be of service to someone. Some of us can see all the small details now, don’t get overwhelmed, just do what’s needed.
The moon in Pisces will have more effect on those who have the following in their charts: And those who have strong Leo or Virgo placements in their charts
