Aries is experiencing a big burst of energy with Jupiter’s move into Aries on June 6th. It hooked up with Uranus already there and chances are its energy is already being felt. The sign of the Ram is jumping out of their skin with new ideas and impulsive actions. One thing is certain - this month isn’t going to be boring. It’s best to use the first three weeks of July to make the most effort and get the most done. The Solar Eclipse of July 11th is going to demand you focus on issues of home and family. The Sun is also here through the 22nd lending even more energy. It’s a good time to redecorate or remodel. If you are thinking about selling now is the time to put the house on the market. And if you are hunting for a new home, the perfect one may just fall into your lap. You want to spend time at home so entertaining or hosting a family reunion is a good idea.

Jupiter has moved into Aries and the imagination of Taurus really takes off. The sign of the Bull can be a bit black and white and can forget to see the shades of grey. Jupiter’s move into Aries is going to help you see those around you in a whole new light. You’ll be feeling more emotional than usual and ready to talk about your feelings. Try not to let little worries get out of hand. There can be a tendency to overreact. Use July to focus on your physical and mental well-being. Saturn moves into Libra on the 21st, followed by Mars on the 29th. Saturn forms an aspect with Uranus in Aries. These two planets are not exactly getting along and you can experience some problems at work. It looks like either your company is cutting down on staff or you are asked to take on more work. If you are self-employed or in sales, things may be a bit slow, so plan accordingly. The Full Moon of July 25th can bring in a new work opportunity.

With Saturn’s move into Libra on July 21st Gemini is thinking about love in an entirely new light. Most Gemini’s enjoy playing the field but the sign of the Twins is looking at love in a much more serious manner these days. Saturn is all about being serious and any relationship that is nothing more than fun and games is going to end up being unfulfilling. I’m not just talking about a dating relationship either. If any friends have been pushing your boundaries or taking advantage of you, here is where you put a stop to it. You are ready to buckle down and work hard at some creative project that excites you. You can get a tremendous amount of work done with Saturn in such a supportive place. Long-term goals fill your mind and you are already hashing out a plan on how to achieve them. I would suggest building in more time for your family, especially any children. It just looks like they may be turning to you for some kind of help. And we all need our parents.

Looks like an exciting month ahead for sweet Cancer. The Solar Eclipse of July 11th will kick start many new and exciting enterprises for the sign of the Crab. Mars makes a lovely aspect to this Moon bringing you plenty of energy to get everything done. Quiet Cancer is out of their shell big time. You speak up and are looking at new ways to communicate and express yourself. Maybe you create a website or join facebook. Teachers will get a special boost from this energy. Jupiter and Uranus sit at the top of your chart pushing you to take action and create the career of your dreams. These two planets together will bring you lovely new opportunities at work. Be aware, there can also be a situation with a partner that forces you to make a decision you don’t want to make. A partnership can either finish or go to a new level. This is all about a death of the old way of living and the birth of a new one.

Leo is going to benefit from the Jupiter/Uranus combo happening right now. Both planets will work beautifully with your Sun. You’re going to feel their presence more toward the end of the month than the beginning. The Sun starts out in your area of hidden matters and you are deep into your feelings and buried emotions start to surface. The first nine days of July, Mercury continues its visit and you are still feeling very psychic and connected to higher forces. After the 9th Mercury moves into Leo and you are taking meetings and getting paperwork together. But because the Sun will stay in this house through the 22nd expect to be a bit more emotional than usual. The Solar Eclipse of July 11th can put you into a very sensitive state. I would be sure to hang around upbeat and positive people as you will act like a psychic sponge.

Sweet Virgo is going to be feeling pretty emotional these days. Virgo is usually pretty good at looking at any situation with a hefty dose of logic and detachment. But through most of July, planets keep pushing your emotional buttons. First Mercury moves into your house of hidden feelings on July 9th. The good news is you become much more intuitive. The bad news is you will tend to overreact emotionally. Then hot on its heels there is a Solar Eclipse on July 11th that will set off some issue between you and your friends. Solid, dependable Virgo may just have a meltdown. You are going to be ready to speak your mind and the heck with the consequences. Mars also pushes next to your Sun until July 29th. You’re done with thinking and are ready to act. It’s not like Virgo to get into a fight with anyone, but this month can be the exception.

Work. Work. Work. Your career takes center stage and doesn’t let go! The Sun sits at the top of your chart until July 22nd. You are more than ready to move forward in whatever it is you do for a living. I love it. Yes, there can be some recognition but what I really love about this is the excitement and confidence that comes with it. The first nine days of July are especially good for connecting with people in power and those that can offer you help. There is a Solar Eclipse here on July 11th and you can see some progress happen to get you to a higher level in your professional life. Venus will lend help with networking possibilities through July 10th. People want to help you without knowing why, so you be sure to let them. By July 10th Venus has changed positions and so has your focus. Libra’s thoughts turn to love and you are ready for romance..

Looks like Scorpio is getting ready for an out of town trip. What a lovely way to spend part of July. There are two separate aspects associated with al this travel. The first one is connected to work and the sign of the Scorpion can be the one picked for a plum assignment out of town. It’s going to help your career so say Yes. The second aspect of travel is more social in nature and seems to tie in with your friends or social network. There is a Solar Eclipse on July 11th that will really add some powerful energies to this period. You can reap the benefits from the decisions you make now for the next six months. Some of these decisions could affect the way you look at a friend. Could be you start to see a friend in a whole new and very romantic light? Your friendships and romance seem joined together right now. An online romance is also a possibility so check it out.

The sign of the Archer has some wonderful financial possibilities happening now. First of all the Sun is going to be in one of your money houses until July 22nd. It’s time to take another look at your investments and retirement income. You may also decide to redo the will or restructure the family budget. Mercury is also here the first nine days of July. Phone calls and meetings should be taken care of in these nine days. And as if that’s not enough, the Solar Eclipse of July 11th falls here as well. If you work in banking or insurance there can be some new career changes that take your career forward or in a whole new direction. There are old and new energies clashing here this month and you may see an old friend move out of your life and new ones enter. Lots of creative energy is with you now and you can use it to start a new business.

It’s no wonder that sweet Capricorn may be just a bit off balance this month. You are one of the signs that is going to be reacting more strongly to the Grand Cross in operation this summer. There are lots of different energies all demanding attention. Capricorn may have to dance a little faster in order to keep up but there are some lovely energies at play here. First of all both Jupiter and Uranus are sitting at the bottom of your chart in an area of home and family. It’s a great time for buying or selling property. As they both touch your Sun, sweet Capricorn is going to feel more confident and more impulsive. Your home can expand in some way. Maybe you and your sweetie move in together or you decide to add on a room. The sign of the Goat is thinking about love all summer. If you are unattached that can change now and if you are involved you are looking at love in a new light.

I want Aquarius to take special care with their health right now. The Solar Eclipse of July 11th falls in an area of health and fitness. Eclipses often bring up what was previously hidden. It’s a good time for a check-up. You will also be working hard most of July and it’s easy to forget about taking proper care when you are so busy. Mercury will help you get all that paperwork done, as long as you do it before the 9th. After that it moves into Leo and you will have to push
yourself a little bit harder to get everything done. But July is not all about work. It is also about love. Venus will be in your area of true love until July 10th. The month begins with the sign of the Water Bearer feeling all soft and romantic. You want to feel attractive to the one you love. New clothes, jewelry or body pampering are all on the agenda now so go ahead and feel good. Between the 23rd and the 28th passions run high.

Good news for Pisces as Saturn moves out of Virgo and into Libra on July 21st. Saturn has been cramping your style, bringing heavier than usual responsibilities and a sense of loneliness or isolation. It hasn’t been too much fun lately but some of that will lighten up with the shift of Saturn into a new sign. Mars is still in Virgo, bringing you more physical energy and assertiveness. People around you are wondering what is going on as sweet Pisces is suddenly kicking butt and taking names. The last few days of July can be explosive as the temper of Mars is in conflict with impulsive Uranus. Do not take drastic action you will regret later. As hard as I think it’s going to be I’m going to advise you to count to ten before any major decision is made. Some of these decisions can be about romance. You are ready to be in love.
