JULY 08

Find:

Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July

The feeling of inner renewal is always strong around this time of year for you, as it’s the time when the sun moves through your sign and you experience the power of the moon’s cycle through Cancer. This year the new moon (new phase) takes place on the 3rd, but the specific date isn’t too important as it’s with the general flowing of time that you notice intentions and desires becoming revitalised and renewed in current circumstances, enabling a whole new approach to what is familiar, and a fresh perspective on what you feel is possible for the months to come.

Aries
21st March – 20th April

Your ruling planet Mars is moving into problem-solving mode this month, which symbolises your mood to deal with the details and sort the specifics required for the solutions you’ve been reaching for recently. Mars meets strict Saturn in the first half of the month, which can feel like a pressure to get things right first time, but if you can relax past that feeling no matter who is reflecting it back to you, then the best of the Mars/Saturn mix is yours; which means passion has staying power, eagerness has discipline and desire has structure.

Taurus
21st April – 21st May

Underneath the power of a new moon (new phase) taking place in the communication angle of your chart on the 3rd, your ruler Venus (love and value) aligns with Jupiter (faith and expansion). It symbolises the potential for great communication of course; for getting the message across and expressing yourself well, but it’s also echoing the hunger for a greater understanding you have been experiencing recently, born of a bigger-picture desire to get the best out of current circumstances. You are wanting to make the most of it all at the moment and the universe is only too happy to assist.

Gemini
22nd May – 21st June

The sun is moving through the angle of your chart related to value/s until the 22nd, which means this is the theme at the heart of events till then. And most of it is about self-worth, an issue bubbling more strongly recently because you’ve been on a steep self-learning curve. That ‘nearly but not quite’ situation that happened not so long back is more likely to be within your grasp now because of the new perspective you’ve gained since then. It’s when you feel you deserve it that situations begin supporting your view.

Leo
23rd July – 23rd August

It’s this time of year, before the energy-boosting sun moves into your sign that you’re at your most reflective and introspective. Make the most of this around the 3rd, when an intuitive new moon is pouring insight your way; it’s the time to take coincidences seriously, follow your hunches, and keep the dream diary up to date. The sun arrives in your sign on the 22nd, joining love planet Venus; and then communication planet Mercury adds to the line-up by the 26th. Enjoy this build-up, as plenty of planets symbolise plenty of energy to devote to your heart’s desire.

Virgo
24th August – 22nd September

The Virgo super power is the ability to sift and discern what’s relevant to the issue, and in relation to goal-setting it’s the reason you are known as an efficient problem solver, because it’s in focusing on what’s relevant that the solution becomes clear. Mars, planet of goal-setting, is moving into your sign this month to meet up with authoritarian Saturn, so it’s important to remember you’re the only authority (with Saturn you either use it or lose it) when it comes to deciding what you want, as no one else but you can know what’s really relevant here.

Libra
23rd September – 23rd October

A comfort-zone themed new moon in the long-term aims and ambition section of your chart on the 3rd coincides with you pondering the bigger picture and feeling the urge to peek beyond current horizons. The thing with the bigger picture is most of it you have to take on faith, as no one can see it all from where they stand. But that’s what a horizon is for surely, to satisfy the curiosity to cross lines and restore faith there’s more out there than meets the eye?

Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November

There’s a nourishing new moon in the faith and belief angle of your chart on the 3rd. New moon’s are about new phases but you might not be able to see actual change at that time (hence a new moon is also called a dark moon), instead there’s only a feeling or sense that something is happening from within. If you have faith in that feeling, rather than squish it with a reality check, things will move naturally to actual fulfilment. It’s something to remember when ‘seeing is believing’ planet Saturn meets your ruler this month.

Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December

There’s some unfinished business for July, particularly during the first week, when events arise unexpectedly but with a strange sense of familiarity too. Limits and boundaries planet Saturn, which has been in the long-term aims and ambition angle of your chart since last year, is now joined by fiery, pushy Mars. Sometimes it might feel you’re driving with the brakes on, and other times it feels there’s a passion to commit like never before. It all depends on how free that free spirit of yours is feeling in the moment, and that depends heavily on perspective.

Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January

There’s optimism flooding all over you at certain points during July, that initially makes you feel buoyant about current circumstances but might be difficult to maintain or believe in once ‘reality’ gets in the way. And it’s going to keep getting in the way with reality planet Saturn interacting strongly with desire planet Mars at the moment. The good news is the sense of expansion isn’t over, it hasn’t gone anywhere and it is for real, you just need to remember the kind of perspective you were coming from then to feel those feelings flooding back again now.

 

---

Aquarius
21st January – 18th February

Saturn, planet of limits and boundaries has been influencing the trust and intimacy part of your chart since last September; which has meant a lot of wondering when and where to draw the line, as well working out what that line actually means. Saturn works one step at a time, always looking long-term, so by now, you’ve built something to show for all that hard work. This month feisty Mars, planet of immediate gratification, is meeting up with Saturn; it’s a wildly different energy mix so a real challenge to integrate, though not impossible to view as the next obvious step.

Pisces
19th February – 20th March

Not so long ago you experienced a ‘nearly but not quite’ kind of situation, where something was suddenly so close to being in your grasp, but then seemed to move out of range, as fast as it came in. But this month things are moving full circle, so it’s time to expect that unexpected door to open again. And once it does, you can see with hindsight how the timing is better now than it would have been back then; because you’ve since been on a journey of understanding, and what you’ve learned is now about to serve you well.
