Horoscope for the week beginning July 26
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
The waves caused by the ongoing line-up of planets continue to wash in. These are invariably producing synchronistic events and subsequent changes for people both individually and collectively and on many fronts.
Sometimes according to our cycles and circumstances these produce reaction, yet proactive response ever remains part of the game and an ever-present possibility. One of the keys to proactive response is to live with deepened self-awareness and the consequent vision that it affords. Astrology is invaluable in this regard, when approached with a deepened appreciation of the valuable resource that it is. It is not the majority who do this yet. Directed by outer social influences, attitudes and norms people engage in the game of life confident and justified in their actions. Yet, when our choices and actions are based on this outer directed mode of reasoning alone, we are less able to live more authentically, in-tune with a deeper sense of purpose and the subsequent harmony with others and life in general that it produces.
The global environmental crisis that remains and will for decades to come, at least, is an example of it. This is one of the deeper messages that are surfacing from the sum of colossal stir of cosmic energies at play. That a key feature of these encompasses a period reaching to 2026 when Neptune enters Aries offers us a fairly wide time frame within which to focus and set our intentions. Regarding the more current cycles, the Great Grand Trine in Water Signs that officially began on July 17 is lingering and is being reinforced by Mars.
On July 27 Mars forms an exact Opposition to Pluto on the same day that the Moon forms a Conjunction with Uranus and then will actually form a Square to Uranus on July 31, thereby reinforcing the lingering and potent Square aspect between Uranus and Pluto. Thus, this is when Mars weaves the Water Grand Trine with the Uranus/Pluto Square. The influence of this will specifically continue until April 2014.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Many big and significant activations are rocking your world. These are occurring both at the deeper levels of your being and in outer obvious ways as well. Changes close to home and with your family are likely themes. Some measure of cleaning, clearing, renovating and moving altogether are a source of passion, excitement and drama.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
A busy round of activities continues to keep you busy. A key world in it all is commitment. Endurance, perseverance and stubborn adherence to your priorities, goals and plans are other ways of describing it. Focusing to invest versus simply to spend is extra important. Efforts to establish a more secure foundation will prove extra valuable later. So do it now.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
With so many places to go and people to see, you are in your element. Beyond the rich array of excitement and hopeful fun, deeper considerations of establishing a more secure lifestyle rhythm is underway. It is quite important that you take this seriously. This implies extra effort, discipline and a willingness to learn. Aim to establish a foundation of whole health.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
An expansive cycle continues. You are likely feeling inspired to take a few risks or to advance your position somehow. This impulse will linger well into 2014. Yet, this is no time to be in a rush neither. All the while, deeper spiritual activations and awakenings are flowing in steadily. If these are not obvious, take a moment to tune-in to receive the blessings.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
The Sun in your signs is an indication that you are ready to take some pioneering, creative leads. You are digging deeper these days than you have perhaps for a long time. You are determined to lay claim to bigger dreams and hidden powers. This may be stirring some fears. Accessing deeper reserves of faith is important for success. You can do it!
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Expanding your scope and network is an important theme these days. The time is right to collaborate and cooperate with other key players. Who these are and what you need to do is the creative question you must answer. For now, working behind the scenes is important. Aim to establish secure foundations on a variety of fronts.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
Some big, exciting and noticeable changes are shaking in your world. These are linked to increased exposure, responsibility and opportunity. Yet, you must be willing to pay your dues and invest as necessary. In the short term, quality time shared with friends new and old will be the warm sun drying up any lingering puddles from yesteryear.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
The time has come to advance your position. This includes getting the attention you want, need, and have earned and feel you deserve. Approaching authority figures for to facilitate this process is likely and ideal. This is your window so do not wait. Even by simply activating a process you will be on track and in-tune with your time.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
A process of completion and closure continues yet the main thrust of it has entered the next phase. The good news is that these endings are also bringing rewards, perhaps unexpected ones. Look upon the overall process as an important graduation process. Imagine things did not change and there was no such thing as graduation! Accept, trust and celebrate this flow.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
The time has come clear the old to make way for the new. Whether by choice or circumstances beyond your control, you are experiencing something of a change of the guards. The good news is that this is increasing your overall exposure; hopefully you want this to happen. That this is shaking things up deep within you and close to home is part of the deal.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
An activation of new associations, friendships and deeper relationships too is underway. This may be causing some of your confidences to waver. Aim to establish new foundations and fortify old ones. From this platform your confidences to expand your outreach will increase. Awakening to new modes of perception, to recognize alternative approaches, is a golden key.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You have embarked upon a special and important creative curve. It is leading you to consider new values, priorities and possibilities. There is some measure of diversity implied so avoid single-minded approaches or singular projects. The other challenge however will be to advance each of these in equal measure. Be willing to do the rounds to advance on all fronts!
