July 2011

Aries – (March 20 – April 19)

Jupiter traveling through your second house of personal finances lends a great boost to your self confidence and smoothes out the bottom line. Revel in this era of support; clearly stated desires are the ones that find a clear path to expression. You’ve worked long and hard, Aires, and now it’s your time for a bit of fun. The solar eclipse of July 1^st in Cancer signals the ending of an era, and ushers in a grand new cycle.

Your mission is to remain grounded; if this means taking a few days off, make doing so a priority. You need time to renew your relationship with yourself this month. If your partner sends out a curve ball on the 7^th; look beneath the surface and trust in the grand scheme of life. You are on solid ground.

Taurus – (April 20 – May 20)

You may greet the world with complacency now, or, you can walk through the door that sits just slightly ajar. It takes effort to explore the treasures that lie within the mysterious room that has become available. What you must remember is that time is a fleeting ally. The long summer days would have you lingering with the status quo. Think of these opportunities as bubbles being sent from the Universe; they will move on unless you move forth to enjoy their fleeting colors.

If you must also tend to business in the midst of this sensuous season, Thursday the 7^th is your day to get the job done. This ultra high powered day favors both legal and travel arrangements. Think twice before postponing important paperwork; having a good grasp on facts and figures is your secret strength.

Gemini – (May 21 – June 20)

With the solar eclipse of July 1 taking place in your financial sector, you may feel that much of what you have worked for over the past few years is somehow eroding. But take heart, Gemini, because there are amazing good things on the way. If you think outside your usual box, you will see that a new and much better way of earning income is being presented. You just have to remain open to the possibilities.

With both Venus and Mars in your sign for most of the month, your energy is good. Your timing is impeccable and your inspirations are sound. Take heart when it appears that things aren’t going your way on the 8^th and 9^th; this is going to work out for the best. Monday the 11^th is a great day to take on your new project, and so is Monday the 18^th.

Cancer – (June 21 – July 21)

Surrender comes in many colors and even presents an array of flavors. Yours is vibrant and sweet, Cancer. With the solar eclipse of July 1^st is in your sign, and the full moon of July 14^th in your relationship sector, the message is clear. If you’re not in a significant partnership, it’s because you really don’t want to be. Even business relationships take on great significance now.

Now that your romantic life is activated, you can focus on finances. July is a time to tidy up loose ends. You may have to cut your losses in some areas; put on your business hat and free yourself of unproductive entanglements. You need to be free and clear for the Leo new moon of July 30^th which initiates a new era of financial productivity. You truly can have it all.

Leo – (July 22 – August 22)

Although the long summer days bring out the best, you may be feeling a bit uneasy. July is your month for reflection, especially this year which presents us with an unusual solar eclipse. You are urged to expand, yet there is an underlying caution. Listen to this inner voice! This is just not the best time to take on risky new projects.

Instead, how about a summer vacation? Relaxation in your fantasy environment is the perfect environment for these days of inner, not outer, expansion. Here you can create and refine your global expansion plan – I know you have one. Be on the alert for charlatans on the 28^th – someone says they want to contribute, but what they really want is just a piece of the action.

Virgo – (August 23 – September 22)

Hopefully you have been making the most of the public image boost that has been following your every move. You have the gift of charisma now, Virgo; enjoy every minute of this blessing. Of course, there are some unmet expectations – that goes with the territory. Your job is to be clear in your communication and elegant in your style.

The solar eclipse of July 1^st slides into your sector of long term goals. Your longing for a tribe will be fulfilled; however, you must acknowledge that some of your desires will be laid to rest. Savor your insights. July presents you with days of great clarity; the best ones being the 8^th and the 28^th. The full moon of July 14 will reveal your wildest dreams if you allow the illumination.

Libra – (September 23 – October 21)

Perhaps you have had to cut your losses in one part of your life, but know that there is a corresponding gain in another, more important sector. The areas now designated for consideration are your home, and your career. Your sign is at the fulcrum of tremendous planetary pressure these days as Saturn and Uranus sashay in a square dance with Pluto.

The end result of this exquisite pressure is that you will give birth to an even better reality. Emergence is your watchword, and graceful is your connection. Maintain your connection to the Universe through careful attention to the details of your personal being. Good health is your goal, and consistency is your method.

Scorpio – (October 22 – November 21)

Some of you have already felt the graces of Jupiter in your relationship sector, and others of you are waiting patiently. For those of you who are waiting, how about letting your light shine, anyway? Consider that there is a world out there just waiting for you to share your wisdom.

If you have never thought of yourself as a public speaker – think again. It’s absolutely essential that you step into a role of leadership and visibility. Granted, public vulnerability is not the Scorpions natural habitat. However, keep in mind, the greater the price, the more precious the reward. It’s all about what you have to say, Scorpio – you cannot keep it in any longer.

Sagittarius – (November 22– December 20)

We all get to reinvent ourselves from time to time. And every genesis presents new openings for joy and best of all –fresh air. The issue here is: what have you left behind? There is resolution in the energies of July; but you move forward with great awareness of a void waiting to be filled. Inspiration is best derived from the mundane affairs of your everyday life; it’s time to find that old pair of work boots and lace them up one more time.

Although the terrain of your reinvented self feels familiar, this is truly uncharted territory. The good part is that all you really have to do is show up; the flow will guide your way. Clear messages help though, and you can look for those on the 9^th and 13th. And, after the 28^th, you have few questions.

Capricorn – (December 21 – January 19)

Sometimes the Universe speaks to us in gentle whispers, and other times – we have to receive the message more directly. Be prepared for the hammer of Thor! The sound of thunder is important in many mythic traditions; it signals powerful change. Your ruling planet, Saturn, is not marching forward, and with the solar eclipse of July 1 activating your relationship sector, this will be the arena for your upcoming revelations.

Trust that eclipses bring not only necessary shifts, but also fruition. Your big, old, luscious peach tree, the one you have been carefully tending for so long, is finally ripe. Move quickly t past the labor pains of July 13^th when it appears that you won’t get your dream. The full moon of July 14^th is in your sign, Cap; this means that the spotlight is on YOU, and, yes – it is real.

Aquarius – (January 20 – February 17)

Your life becomes more mysterious with each passing day, Aquarius. Surely you are seeing beneath the surface of each situation and individual you encounter. Trust your instincts now; your heart and mind have an unerring cohesiveness that brings you quickly to the truth. The Full Moon of July 14^th brings some part of your life to a close. As you come live your life in full color, the shadows must fade and lose power.

Allow this process; the time is now and the place is exactly where you are in the moment. Things lighten up after the sun enters Leo on the 22nd. And, the New Moon of July 30 opens the doors to new relationships, and especially to freedom of self expression. You are finally, really, living your truth.

Pisces – (February 18 – March 19)

The solar eclipse of July 1^st activates your 5^th house of creativity, children, and pleasure, Pisces. With Jupiter in your 3^rd house of daily communication, this is a good combination for engaging your most creative juices. Make time for inspiration, and when it comes, write it down. You are privy to Universal abundance which comes in the form of great ideas.

Your thoughts are expansive, but personal finances are where you now experience pressure. This will ease in the upcoming months, but the best solution is to take care of loose ends. Look for ways to eliminate unnecessary expenses, especially small, recurring bills. As you look carefully you’ll find that there have been some leaks in your monetary ship, and this is the perfect month for repair.
