Horoscope for the Week beginning July 20
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
The Sun enters Leo on July 22 and vies for the spotlight over Saturn in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces. Each planet in its own sign can be understood as too much of a good thing. As the cliché goes: ‘too many chiefs; not enough Indians’. The Sun in Leo is like the star who gets all the glory while Saturn represents the business itself and Neptune the allure to the show at all. Yet, like the academy awards, the focus is shared between the behind-the-scenes-people, as well. Yet, the star will still prove to steal the show.
Amidst all of this, Mars in Aquarius conjunct the South Node remains the main focus, from the standpoint of astrology, anyway. This aspect represents a revolutionary element. Uranus in Taurus is not an evident placement for this and, in turn, Venus in Virgo neither indicates big action, yet there is good reason to say that the forces of change are building momentum.
Next week’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius will play a key role in this regard as it moves in to form an exact conjunction with Mars and the Lunar South Node. This will have repercussions in both the short and the longer term.
July 20-26
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
In the forefront, a playful time is indicated. However, you also feel punchy and rebellious. You want to break free or at least cut loose. Yet, to do so, you may have to give more to the situation than you want. Yet, you will do what you must. In the bigger picture, you are likely at the top of your game… realizing that being there brings its own set of responsibilities.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
Breaking through to get to higher ground continues as a central theme. This may well include reunions with people from your past. These may amount to perks along the way rather than actual leverage. Yet, the inspiration you get, or the challenges, could well have an effect on your drive. The time is right to take your place in the sun or at least go for it.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
While many deep changes are brewing in the background, which may even be understood as metamorphic, the Sun in Leo will activate an upward spiral. Playful and dynamic, you will want to share this quality time. However, there are also indications that you will enjoy some of this time tending to your own interests and hobbies.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
Last week’s eclipse in your sign has likely activated or synchronized with some exciting events and changes. These will continue to flow over the coming days and perhaps longer. Returns for prior efforts are indicated. In turn, rolling these over into more investments is and has been on your mind for the past few months even and will continue.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
Working diligently behind the scenes has been keeping you busy, but now it is time to enter new territory, literally. Slowly but surely, your confidence levels are rising. This is supporting you to be strategic and take risks. That doing so includes a rather steep learning curve is the price you must pay. Proceed patiently yet surely for best results.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
Forging new friendships, contacts and affiliations continue. This can include, ‘joining the club’. Yet, you may also want others to join yours. Your focus may be more on business than pleasure, but weaving both is ideal. Either way, you are probably busy and feeling stretched to attend to a variety of fronts. This trend will continue, so get out there and make friends.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Some measurable shifts in your public and professional life continue to rock your world. These likely include more income or at least the prospects of it. Yet, you are also challenged to face some core fears. These are linked to confidence and security including both money and your ability and/or desire to fulfill the responsibilities implied.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Looking to the future and seeing a bigger picture is a central theme now. Yet, to do so, you are also feeling the call to dig deep into your past. What you are seeking includes the high points in your life. This probably includes certain people. Yet, what you are really after is key reflects of your core sense of individuality.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
From time to time we feel the urge to purge, to clear the old to make way for the new. This is one of those times. The overall process includes laying claim to deep reserves of faith… in the flow of life, in a higher power and that things will all work out…. Your list can include old possessions that have served their time, or memories or regrets. Thank, forgive and release.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Changes on relationship fronts continue in the spotlight. This can manifest as a fresh start. Invitations and opportunities to make new friends and to heal old connections are flowing fast. This trend will continue for another week or so, especially. Acceptance of what is will help a lot. This may require creative thinking and a good attitude to see the silver lining.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
A steady flow of changes in your overall lifestyle remains in the spotlight. These are directly linked to establishing a healthier and happier flow. Creating beauty in your home and garden is featured. Inspiration is the keyword so look for opportunities and devise strategies that will allow it to flow your way. Be willing to reach out and associate for best results.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
A Creative cycle continues. It could manifest as allowing or giving your child, the inner one, reason and opportunity to play. Exercise your sense of innocence by finding reasons to be awed. Listening to the birds or star gazing and/or smelling the flowers and rejoicing in their color and splendor are classical methods. Choose to be happy.
