JULY 2006 FORECAST |
|
ARIES (March 21 - April 20)
July starts off with the Sun in Cancer moving through your 4th House of Home. It's an excellent time to improve your living space in ways meaningful to you. Clean up; throw out what's no longer working. On the inner levels your thoughts could turn to your early beginnings, your relationships with family or early caregivers. It's a good time to release the past, do the forgiveness work for past hurts or disappointments so that you can move into the future free of anger or resentment.
On the 10th, the Full Moon in Capricorn appears in your 10th House of Career (Mission), and at the same time Mercury, planet of communications retrogrades back into your 4th House of Home. This is a good time to remember to give respect to those people in authority positions, or at least to treat them the way that you would like to be treated. During the Full Moon cycle, from the 8th until the 11th, promise yourself you won't allow anyone to trigger negative emotions or anger. You can just be the witness of other people who seem to lack self-control, while keeping your cool.
Then on the 25th, the New Moon (Sun & Moon) joins Saturn, planet of discipline, in Leo. These three planets will be in your 5th House of Love, Creativity and Children, and inspiring you to be more loving, creative and more playful. Now your mood lifts and the focus is on doing things that makes you happy - a good time to work on a favorite hobby or a creative project. Spending time with children, yours or someone else's lightens your mood. As you temporarily let go of limiting thoughts or worries, your creative spirit expands and grows. Single Aries are in a cycle of attraction as the potential for new love is powerful now. If you're already in a love relationship this is an excellent time to spend time together and enjoy the increase of love. |

TAURUS (April 21 - May 20)
Venus, your ruling planet of Love and Creativity will be in Gemini, the Twins, until the 19th, moving through your 2nd House of Money. Expect to be the receiver of small gifts or acts of love as a rebound effect of love given in the past. This could bring two loves in your life, or find you working on two creative projects.
On the 10th, the Full Moon in Capricorn appears in your 9th House of Long Distance Travel, Education and Spirituality. Your Higher Mind will be in full gear now, and your power to image (imagination) will be stronger also. At the same time, Mercury planet of communications retrogrades back into your Third House of Communications. It's time to get in touch with close relatives, attend a family reunion, or to get back to someone with a phone call or a letter. You could also be involved in correcting a written piece, or rethinking an idea that seemed to be finished. Be patient with others who might change their minds or go back on a promise. Keep in mind that everything is as it should be, and everything is in Divine right order.
On the 25th the New Moon in Leo, joins Saturn in your 4th House of Home. This is a good time to make home improvements, to release not only material things that no longer work, but also thoughts or habits that are not stimulating joy, happiness or good health. Cleaning up your physical house and your mental closet will free you up to move into the future without the burden of the past. Love yourself and other unconditionally. |

GEMINI (May 21 - Jun 20)
- From June 25th, until July 19th, Venus planet of love and creativity will be in your sign. Enjoy this period of increased love and creativity as little gifts or tokens of love come your way. The Full Moon in Capricorn on the 10th brings you back to the reality of everyday living, as you assess your financial status and the need to take care of the practical side of life. At the same time, Mercury, your ruling planet of Communications, retrogrades back into your 2nd House of Money, inspiring you to look at paperwork, or perhaps re-doing a financial plan. During the Full Moon period, from the 8th until the 11th, promise yourself that you will only think positive thoughts about money and your ability to attract what you need. You, of all people, must know the power of the spoken word and the power of thought. Think what you want, and want what you think. If your present financial situation needs to be improved, choose to think positive thoughts and create positive emotions regarding money. Use the prayer for money (on this website) as a substitution for negative thoughts that might try to take over your mind.
The New Moon in Leo, joins Saturn, planet of discipline in your 3rd House of Communications, Close Family and Neighbors. What you're looking for might just be on your own street corner. Get out and interact with people in the community, attend meetings, or get to know your neighbors. Our success in life depends on our relationships with others. Close family, sibling, aunts, uncles, cousins, are our first support system. These are the people who will love us unconditionally and who most likely will support our creative ideas. This is a time to reach to your support system, attend family gatherings, or write a note of appreciation to a relative giving thanks for deeds done in the past. If you love someone... tell them. |

CANCER (Jun 21 - Jul 20)
CANCER OR MOON CHILD, the choice is yours. If you were born between June 20 and July 21st, the Sun was in the fourth sign of the Zodiac, Cancer, ruled by the Moon, the fastest moving body in the Zodiac.
Because the Moon moves in and out of phases, from new to full, and sometimes eclipsing, you are known for your ever-changing moods and attitudes. Cancer is the first water sign, with Scorpio and Pisces being your compatible water signs, or cosmic siblings.
You have a strong intuitive sense and should always follow your first mind. The physical manifestation of your psychic area is in the stomach... always pay attention to your gut feelings. While you can do mornings, night is your favorite time to shine - the Moon comes out at night. A shy person, you sometimes need a push to get out there and let your talents be known to others.
You have a strong nurturing sense which serves you well when interacting with children or those in need. In your love life, you've had to learn not to parent your mate, but to just love him or her unconditionally. Sugar and alcohol are your potential addictions, until you learn how to deal with them in moderation. Swimming is the best exercise for you as it doesn't require much strength and has a relaxing, calming affect on your body. You can be a whiner and complainer, but know that individuals born under your sign have a strong constitution and a tendency to live longer than others. Learning to be detached is a difficult thing for sensitive Cancerians. But that's just what you need to do in all areas of your life. Let go and let God; let go of the past and learn to live in the ever-present moment of now.
2006/07 FOR CANCER BULLETIN: Saturn, planet of discipline and tests, left your sign last July (28th) after a two and a half year stay. Now, if you're still holding on to the hurts or disappointments of the past, shame on you. At the present time, Jupiter, planet of joy and expansion, is forming a wonderful aspect to your sign and the potential for increasing your joy, your money, and good times is very possible... if you've let go of the past. Uranus, planet of change is in Pisces, forming another wonderful aspect to your Sun in Cancer. Now listen up! This is good stuff; your intuition is popping now. Pay attention to the voice within, slow it down and meditate or pray at night. The angels are telling you which decisions to make and where to go to be at the right place at the right time. Take periodic rests to do the forgiveness work. Bless all those people who need to be forgiven, including you. You have a great future ahead of you, so release and let go of guilt or resentment baggage that will slow you down. The Full Moon on the 10th is a good time to clear out your subconscious mind of any negatives that might be stored inside.
July for Cancer
The Sun is moving through your Solar 1st House of self. This is your time to be good to yourself: do some pampering and maybe even change up the colors you wear. With Saturn and Mars in your 2nd House of Money, it's time to press on, work harder and put some passion into what you're doing on a daily basis. Mercury will retrograde back into Cancer on the 10th and stay there until the 29th... as this planet will move back into your 1st House of self; do some reassessment reviews of how you look at the world, and how you think about yourself and the gifts you have to share with the world. Follow your passion and desires when making decisions regarding your life's mission.
The new moon on the 25th will appear in your 2nd House of Money. Is your self worth tied to your bank account? This is a time to circulate your resume, go for your dream, or to accept more responsibility in your present job. Take time out to revisit your inner child and feel the wonder and joy of new discoveries. Keep in mind that the only limitations are in your mind. Believe in yourself... (as I believe in you). |

LEO (Jul 21 - Aug 20)
The Sun, your ruler is moving through your 12th House of hidden matters this month, and you're probably feeling the urge to be alone or with some other special person. Saturn, planet of discipline, and Mars, planet of outgoing energy, are both in Leo, moving through your Solar 1st House of self. It's time to take personal responsibility for your life, your appearance and how you see the world. While Mars pushes ahead, Saturn slows down the action, so the plans you make might not go into full gear until after Mars passes on the 22nd. Still, the inspirational ideas that come to you now should be noted and written down.
Then Mercury, planet of the rational mind goes retrograde in Leo on the 4th and moves back into Cancer on the 10th. It's all right to change your mind about decisions made in the past, or to take an honest review of plans made for the future. Be especially patient with people who seem to be unable to make up their minds. Love is the elixir that will take you through this time. If you keep in mind that people only act with the consciousness they have at the moment, there'll be no need to place blame or to allow yourself to get upset. Instead focus on your talents, your passions and desires and see yourself doing what you love to do and getting paid for the effort. The new moon in Leo on the 25th is an excellent time to start new projects, put your best foot forward, pull out some dazzling gear and let your spirit shine. Go for it! |

VIRGO (Aug 21 - Sept 20)
The Sun in Cancer is moving through your 11th House of Friends and Group Activities, so this promises to be a busy month with lots of social obligations to attend to. You can handle it, Virgo... get out, enjoy yourself and rub elbows with people of like minds. This is a good time for networking and sharing ideas with others and also to just let your hair down and have fun. Saturn, planet of discipline, and Mars, planet of outgoing activities, are moving through your 12th House of Hidden Matters... so while your smiling on the outside, on the inside you have some spiritual work to do. For one thing, let go of all doubts and fears that might be limiting you from seeing a much brighter future. Whatever challenges come up for you now need to be faced, not buried deep down inside where it could wreak havoc on your physical body. If there's someone in your life that you need to let know how you're really feeling... now is the time to do it... with love and light, of course.
Some Virgos will be quietly making plans to work for themselves, or developing creative projects that have a potential to be a rousing success. On the 25th, it's time to write down your goals, review them and sit quietly in meditation and see them coming to fruition. You might also want to make plans to get your body in tiptop condition, not only by changing your diet, but also by including a good workout that involves cardio-vascular exercises. So this month, you'll be out and you'll be in and finding a balance between the two. Mercury, your ruling planet of communications will be retrograde first in your 11th House and then after the 10th in your 12th House. You might be postponing activities to work behind the scenes on personal projects. It's all good. Flow with these energies and deal with them with an open mind and heart. |

LIBRA (Sept 21 - Oct 20)
Venus, your ruling planet of love and creativity is in Gemini until the 19th, and it's forming a positive aspect to your Libra Sun. This energy increases your creativity and the potential to attract new love in your life. For those Libras already in relationships this Venus energy could increase communications between you and your significant other... or you could find yourself trying to make a decision (Libra trait), between two lovers. Either way, it's a feel good energy that can lift your spirits and increase your love potential. The Full Moon in Capricorn, on the 10th, coincides with Mercury's Retrograde movement into Cancer. So from an astrological perspective, you'll be on your cosmic period (smile), from the 8th to the 11th. Be you're old loving spiritual self, when dealing with others... even those who might be overly emotional or caustic when dealing with you. This is an excellent period to move it up to a Higher level on the spiritual tip. You came in this lifetime knowing that you can catch more flies with sugar than with vinegar... so love your way through this time. The more love given, the more love received... that's a cosmic law.
The Full Moon will be in your 4th House of Home and the Mercury aspect will be in your 10th House of Career (Mission). If you're thinking of moving or quitting a job, I'd wait until after the ruts energy dies down. The New Moon in Leo will be in your 11th House of Friends and Group Activities on the 25th. Your good karma with friends can pay off now. Accept invitations to be with the people in your life who've always been there for you. The networking potential alone could be the answer to the challenges that could come around the Full Moon period. Work your magic; enjoy this time of increased love and creativity. Note: The Prayer for Divine Right Mate is available on this website for single Libras. |

SCORPIO (Oct 21 - Nov 20)
July is your time to catch the blessings that Jupiter, planet of joy and expansion gives. Jupiter has been in your sign for six months now, and will be there until November 24th. Some Scorpios have experienced an increase of money, but found it went out as quickly as it came in (smile). Now, with the Sun in your compatible water sign of Cancer, Jupiter in your sign, and Uranus planet of change in Pisces, another compatible water sign... it's time to open your mind to the blessings that are coming your way. Some Scorpios will be taking trips, vacations, while others might be seriously planning to get more educational skills, attending workshops, retreats or even college.
In the meantime, Saturn, planet of discipline, and Mars, your planetary ruler of outgoing activities, are moving through your 10th House of Career. If you're not running happily to work these days, it might be time to give some serious thought about what it is you want to do. With three fantastically wonderful planets moving in flow with one another, if you get yourself out of the way, things could simply fall into your lap. You're in a reaping cycle where deeds done in the past, sometimes for free, can pay off now. When you're working with these energies, there's no need to struggle or strain. As one door closes another one opens. You have the choice to stand and fight (ugh), or to just move on to your greater good. Keep in mind that change is good; “from something good to something better” should be your mantra these days.
The New Moon in Leo on the 25th will be in your 10th House of Career. It's time for new starts or creating a new attitude about what you've decided to do on the career level. You're a fixed sign with a built in tendency to get into ruts, a negative side effect of being stubborn and controlling. (Leo, Taurus, Aquarius are also fixed signs). However, when you release the need to try to control your outer circumstances and learn to listen to your intuition, you'll be flowing through life, like a river. Water just goes around whatever obstacle is in its path, smoothly, quietly, and continues on to its destination. You're a water sign, so take note and flow. |

SAGITARIUS (Nov 21 - Dec 20)
Mars the outgoing planet of energy has joined up with Saturn, planet of discipline and tests in your compatible fire sign, Leo. These two dynamic planets are moving through your 9th house of Long Distance, Travel, Education and Spirituality, and they are forming a positive aspect to your Sun in Sagittarius. Take advantage of this blessing that increases your determination and focus on what you want for your life now. This is an excellent time to quit old habits and begin new ones. If you want a change in your life, just remember that doing the same things will bring same results. It's time to get serious about taking care of your body, eating a nutritious diet and working out, swimming, walking, doing cardio vascular exercises. Sagittarians are known not to be disciplined when it comes to knowing when to quit. You gravitate to habits that bring a temporary joy, but long lasting negative effects. Jupiter, planet of joy and expansion is your ruler, so you were born with the need to do everything in moderation. Now is the time to be good to your body and to put your needs first, remembering that you can't give from an empty cup.
The Full Moon in Capricorn on the 10th appears in your 2nd House of Money, shining a light on your finances. There is a time in all our lives when we have to look at the details and realize that if we don't like what we see, we have the power to change them. When the New Moon in Leo happens on the 25th, it will appear in your 9th House of Long Distance Travel, Education and Spirituality. This is the time to start moving forward on ideas that have been forming in your subconscious mind. Go back to school, attend workshops, training to get your certifications, and take time out to visit relatives who live at a distance. You're positive outlook on life will take you to new heights as you happily move on to the next level. |

CAPRICORN (Dec 21 - Jan 20)
The Full Moon will be in your sign on the 10th, and you'll be in the mood (Moon word) to engage in some feel good activities, and to put your needs first. It's all right to be a little self-absorbed, get a massage, makeover, new hair do, buy new clothes, change your style. The flip side of having the Full Moon in your sign is the tendency to be moody, giving into angry impulses, getting involved in arguments that aren't really about what's happening on the surface. The good news is you have free will and advance notice of the Full Moon, and you can make it a wonderful time; bypass the temptation to get engaged in somebody else's negative mindset. After all, the Full Moon appears in your sign once a year, so by now you should have some skills in making it a wonderful and joyful time in your life. The Full Moon cycle begins on the 8th and ends on the 11th.
On the 10th, Mercury the communicator retrogrades back into your opposite sign, Cancer. Watch how others interact with you, what they say is key. Be the psychic detective and catch the meaning behind the words, as it's more about what's not being said than what is said. Then take a deep breath before responding, deciding within yourself to take the High road, and say what you need to say in a loving way. A soft reply will diminish the tension in even the most hardhearted person. This is also a good time to decide you're not going to participate in or listen to gossip. This alone will put many credits in your spiritual bankbook.
The New Moon in Leo appears in your 8th House of Joint Finances, death and sex on the 25th. This is an opportune time to initiate a proposal or apply for a loan or to create a financial partnership. You might also experience a need to quit old habits and create new ones. If you hear of someone's passing, remember that we're all just passing through this life. The lesson is to treat each day with reverence and to live in the present moment. If you meet someone who stirs up sexual energy, try to keep your feet on the ground... sex is good, love and sex is better... the choice is yours. |

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 - Feb 20)
The Sun in Cancer is passing through your 6th House of Work, Health and Service. This is a good time to ask yourself if what you're doing from 9 to 5 is with a spirit of service to others, or if you're just working for a paycheck. When Mercury, planet of communications, retrogrades back in to your 6th house, you might be rethinking a decision made in the past or redoing a project started six months ago. This could also represent a return of your dedication to getting healthier, changing your diet and/or setting up a work-out schedule. Mercury will be retrograde until the 29th, giving you ample time to make plans for the future that are more in line with your passions and desires. People from your past may be in touch, or you'll find the need to make that phone call, write that letter, make an apology and clear up the inner whisperings in your mind.
The Full Moon in Capricorn, also on the 10th will be in your 12th House of Hidden Matters. From the 8th until the 11th (Full Moon Cycle), you will find personal satisfaction in doing something for someone in need and refocusing on your spiritual intentions. Meditation, quiet reflection are good ways to get in touch with your inner self, your spiritual guides and to let go of old stuff that's roaming around in your subconscious mind.
With Neptune, planet of spirituality, slowing moving in Aquarius (until 2012), and Saturn, planet of discipline, and Mars, planet of outgoing energy, both in Leo, you may have been experiencing mood swings as you choose between what you perceive to be as necessary (making the money), or what you spiritual self desires (being of help to others). Don't throw out the baby with the bath-water (smile). Now you will find if your heart is in the right place, you can actually do two things at one time.
On the 25th the New Moon in Leo will appear in your 7th House of Partners. This is an excellent time to form new partnerships and to clear up any misunderstandings with significant others. Keep in mind that at the end of your life you will be asked two questions: who did you love and whom did you help? All else will not matter. |

PISCES (Feb 21 - Mar 20)
Now is the time to get going on creative projects as you're in the midst of a Grand Trine in Water. Uranus, planet of change (internet and television), is in Pisces, the Sun is in Cancer, and Jupiter, planet of joy, expansion and money, is in Scorpio. Wowee! If you are truly believing in yourself, your talents and abilities, then you'll be ready to accept the blessings that will surely come your way now. It might seem as though offers come to you suddenly and unexpectedly, but in actuality they are the result of work done in the past.
The Full Moon in Capricorn on the 10th appears in your 11th House of Friends and Group Activities, increasing your social invitations and the need to be out and about talking to people who are helpful and supportive to your ideas. At the same time, Mercury, planet of communications, retrogrades back into your 5th House of Love, Creativity and Children, creating the need to edit creative projects, or rethinking the direction of said projects. You might also hear from a past love, and either wonder why the relationship didn't last, or know in your heart why it couldn't.
For some Pisceans it may be time to redo your relationship laundry list, putting in things that matter, and eliminating things that you've found through experience, don't matter anymore. It's also an excellent time to revisit your inner child, to let go of the fears and reservations of an adult and be expectant of all good things to come to you in miraculous ways.
