Horoscope for the Week beginning July 13
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
The Solar Eclipse (partial) that occurred on July 12 at 20 Cancer 41 is in the spotlight. The true meaning in terms of the actual impact of a ‘super’ Moon is an eclipse. When the Moon is closer to the Earth and therefore appears larger, its impact can certainly be visceral and emotional but only last for the duration of the event. The impact may be understood as in the category of physics. Yet, a Solar Eclipse has a metaphysical effect, as is true of all genuine astrological ‘events.’
How and why astrology works, includes yet largely transcends physics and is anchored in a metaphysical understanding of reality. The main difference is that physics is about ‘objects or physical/material effects such as vibrational waves of some sort, for example, acting upon others of the same essential principle whereas metaphysics transcends time and space and reveals a conscious and intentional universe.
The main point is that the effects of a Solar Eclipse can last up to six months and the effects can prove life-changing. If you have planets or angles between 18 and 22 degrees of the Cardinal Signs: Cancer, Libra, Capricorn, and Aries, especially, get ready for a major activation. This week’s Horoscope will shed additional light (to last week’s Horoscope) on the themes and areas of life affected for each sign.
July 13 – 19
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
In the deeper reaches, this eclipse will activate a deep longing for home, which may not be where you live. It could be a spiritual home, a place where you can feel truly aligned or as a longing to be with a true love. Either way, it has mystical overtones that may actually require a meditative approach to access. Most basically, quiet quality time near a body of water might suffice.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
Deep reaches of imagination are likely to be activated by this eclipse. These may well include memories as you reflect on the past. Negatively, you could conjure false assumptions, as is common of the imagination left to its own. Positively, you will be inspired by intuitions of possibility regarding creative aspirations as you reach for a new star.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
The theme of security mentioned last week is largely linked to health. Of course, this includes your physical body. In the literal, physical sense, the time has come to purge and cleanse. This could amount to simply eliminating certain foods. Fasts and organ cleanses may also be a wise option. Start new diet strategies and lifestyle habits… now.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
Making the beautiful dream a reality will be activated by this eclipse. To this end, you can expect to be attending to an array of fronts with a full To-Do list. It will activate a lot of initiative of the sort that you must give a lot. This will manifest as a new sense of maturity supported by conscientious and empathetic acknowledgment of others. Doing so will be recognized as beautiful.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
This eclipse will activate a rather deep process. It might be connected to money, or at least ways and methods of making money. This is an important time to clear all emotional disturbances, blocks and fragmentations associate with your ability to receive and your self-worth regarding abundance and prosperity. Affirm your right, will, and choice to be powerful in the material.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
Relationships, friendships and contacts, connections, and expressions of beauty will all be activated by this eclipse, for you. In the high end, these will manifest as spiritual connections. In the middle reaches, the emphasis will be on social and business opportunities. Negatively, you may experience some measure of disillusionment linked to ego-anchored attitudes.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
This eclipse cycle could reveal areas where you need to pay attention regarding your health and/or lifestyle habits. Circumstances will push you to be aware of what is good and not and what you can afford to do and not. It could feel like a sacrifice to surrender certain ‘favorites’. Yet, it will prove necessary to exercise the full measure of your emerging power.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
If you are a creative visionary or feel you have the potential but it has not yet been activated, this could be the destined time. Completing a ‘Grand Trine by Sign,’ this eclipse will invariably bring a new measure of inspiration into your awareness. Making new friends and/or the healing of existing friendships are likely.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
What is deemed good is ever determined by how well we are aligned and in harmony with what is happening. This eclipse cycle implies processes of purging or what can generally be described as death and rebirth. The word ‘death’ need not refer to mortality so much as to ending, completion or the removal of what or who have served their time and purpose.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
This eclipse will invariably have a positive effect, especially socially and or/professionally for you, if with some edgy elements. The edge point refers to the quality of your ability to be gracious and give. The good news is that you are in a good position to do just that. Expect extra attention and, when you get it, give it right back for greater success yet.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
For best results, respond to this eclipse by making changes in your usual rhythm and engage in some social and cultural activities. The more you can establish new norms, energetically and effectively replacing old habits, the better. The adjustment period may take about a month to anchor, but if handled well, you will activate a newfound sense of freedom.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
If you have been waiting for a break then you will be pleased to know that this eclipse stands to activate an auspicious and perhaps prosperous cycle for you. One of the keys to your success is to think less and feel more. More precisely, be aware of balancing emotional feeling with sensory. A simple way to do so is to dance, laugh and be merry.
