Horoscope for the week beginning July 3
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
How interesting that Canada and the United States share such close dates for the national birthday: July 1 for Canada, coinciding this year with the Full Moon in Capricorn and July 4 for the U.S.A. The astrology of nations is called Mundane Astrology. It applies to provinces, territories, states, cities and towns and to companies and any legal entity where a signature officiates a ‘moment of birth.’
In this respect, every country has many birth dates under its overall domain. This does add dimension and complexity to an otherwise rather simple overview based on the birthday of the entire nation.
Sometimes even the nation has more than one key date that ‘influences’ its course of destiny. For example, in the United States, November 4, 1777 has been presented as another very important date. Yet in good Scorpio fashion it is largely concealed. The merger of these two chart, or the Composite Chart, which reveals the deeper purpose of any two people or ‘persons’ (how legal entities are referred to) provides powerful insights. From the U.S. composite chart one can see, among other themes, the signs of the ‘super hero archetype’ subject to various eccentricities and transmutations producing extraordinary strengths and powers. Maybe Marvel Comics could focus on that.
In Canada, the Repatriation Act, which culminated with an official signature on April 17, 1982, activated a new chart for the nation. This date was very well chosen because it reveals a powerful chart serving to offset the rather weak chart of July 1, 1867. Not surprisingly, Canada has over the past 30 or so years, and continues, to steadily rise in power. In my next newsletter slated for July 1 I will provide some insight on the Composite Chart.
Imagine, with Astrology we can gain valuable insight into the deeper purpose and expression of the relationship between any two people and it can be illustrated that the themes revealed undergo their own evolutionary momentums, turns, peaks and valleys.

July 3 to 9
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
A process of really digging deep continues. This could manifest as home renovations, attending to family matters and/or probing within to access your most intimate feelings. Although it has begun this process will likely last all summer and will leave you, significant others and/or your residence transformed. Fortunately there are some auspicious factors at play as well.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
Your energy levels are running high. It is a good thing too because you have a lot of work to do on a variety of fronts. With your confidence levels on a steady rise you are in a good position to advance. A review of where to best direct your energies is featured. You are probably wise to approach matters with increased patience and to avoid making final, long-term decisions for now.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
A process of deciphering what makes you feel secure and how to best direct your energies is underway. Changes in your daily rhythm and routine have begun as a consequence. Opportunities are knocking but you will have to make extra efforts to engage them. Fortunately you feel alert and sharp in your mind. Exercise a creative approach balanced with a healthy dose of risk for best results.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
You are in an assertive mood. Your ambitions are running high and you intend to act upon them. You are inclined to keep certain thoughts and plans private for now. You are not in a rush but you do want to advance your position. You are looking to the future over the longer term. Focusing to maintain a healthy balance of power feels important.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
A busy time behind the scenes continues. In some respects this cycle can be described as a time of retreat. However, you also must work diligently. Overcoming fears, doubts and perhaps a few debts are likely scenarios. Fortunately, this is also an expansive time for you. Fortune favours the bold under such influences so be willing to reach out to increase your scope and exposure.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your individuality is shining these days. This is supported by a rebellious and perhaps even irreverent mood. Some of what you once held sacred you no longer do. This can extend to important relationships as well. Yet before you make conclusive decisions take note that this energy pattern is an invitation for you to dig deeply to uncover what you deem true and valuable.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
If you have been waiting to advance your position in the world, to gain recognition you feel you deserve and rewards you feel you have earned, now is the time to assert yourself. You may have to go the extra distance and get and/or give special training. Call it paying your dues. In any case, financial concerns and considerations are part of the plot.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
You are in the mood to see a bigger picture. Although you are not necessarily in a big rush you will steadily and forcefully assert yourself if necessary. There are some very good indications of opportunities being available in your public and professional sphere. That you may have to exercise more discipline than usual is all part of the deal.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
A dive into deeper waters may characterize this cycle. As would be the case, the light has dimmed and the pressure has increased. There is nothing negative or evil about this lower light but it does invite acknowledgement. Positively, it invites a final phase of clearing the old to make way for the new. Key changes in your overall lifestyle for the sake of health are implied.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
Relationship involvements may feel a bit more entangled of late. A moody period is underway. Yet it may certainly prove to have a silver lining too. You desire more… interaction, communication, love, pleasure, money… If you can avoid attachment yet remain clearly focused and patiently persevering then you will have struck the balance.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
Recognition, rewards and other returns are yours to enjoy now. Yet these come in a time of increased effort. As well, though the demand is there the same may not be true of your full resolve. This mood may endure for a few weeks so set an even pace. Lively and animated communications is another perk amidst it all. Be open to new angles of perception to see opportunities more clearly.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
A dynamic and creative cycle continues. As long as you are in a giving mood everything will flow smoothly and abundantly too. This is a good time to engage in sincere conversations where you reveal your observations, interpretations, values, priorities and feelings with added sincerity. Communicate from the heart and others will hear you beyond the words.
