Horoscope for the week beginning July 6
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
The big news this week includes Venus entering Virgo on July 9 here in North America and the Partial Solar Eclipse New Moon in Cancer on July 12.
Venus is generally not so comfortable in Virgo, but on the high side, it can prove to be a very efficient and meticulous combination. As well, it will complete the third leg of a Grand Trine in Earth signs by forming 120-degree aspects (Trine) to Saturn in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus. Thus, any otherwise less favourable effects will be significantly mitigated.
This will prove especially auspicious if you have planets in the early degrees of one of these three signs. The Partial Solar Eclipse occurs at 20 Cancer 41. This week’s Horoscope will provide some insights into these two influences.
July 6 – 12
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Changes close to home, and with family, will be activated by this Solar Eclipse. These should produce some favorable experiences, actually. As well, your financial picture stands to get a boost or at least you will gain inspiring insights about the possibilities. Generally, a creative and playful cycle is indicated, against the backdrop of a larger theme of power and abundance.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
A busy yet auspicious cycle is about to begin for you. If you have been looking for that key opening or break in otherwise static situations, this could be it. Yet, don’t expect to be able to kick back. Expect your calendar to fill progressively over the coming weeks. If you feel the need for some R&R, take it now, prior to the eclipse.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
Security is a keyword for you highlighted by this emerging cycle. Since mental, emotional and material security influence each other, your focus could be on any one or all of the above. Positively, your creative juices are flowing so this is a good time to engage them. Blending social perks with an eye for beauty could inspire you to throw or attend a garden party.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
This eclipse in your sign will activate new initiatives. These could prove especially evident in your closest relationships, which probably include family members. Making key investments is also indicated. These could range from household items to tickets to events to bigger purchases yet. Regarding the latter, you may want to wait with Mars now and Mercury soon to turn retrograde.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
A busy time behind the scenes is indicated over the coming weeks. This does not mean you will not be involved in other activities, but you will be happy to keep these as brief and specific as you can. Planning and designing are likely features of this urge to retreat. In this regard, it could prove to be a very productive cycle. All the while, things look promising professionally.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
Making new friends is featured for this charged lunation cycle. This includes involvements with groups and/or clubs. It is important that your attitude is to give more than to receive. While may not exactly amount to storing your treasures in heaven, it could prove very advantageous in business and just the opposite if your take is out of proportion with your give.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Noticeable changes in your public and professional life are indicated over the coming weeks. Some of these may not be so easy to take. One of your priorities is to feel free, somehow. This probably includes letting go of control and surrendering faithfully. This will be supported by keeping an open mind. There may be a few financial hits but these will be balanced by some boons.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
This eclipse could have mixed results for you, but which lean to the positive overall. It will activate your sense of individuality and push you to make a few changes. These could be in your living environment but, more specifically, point to changes in you, personally. This is where the complexity arises. Focus to make subtle shifts in attitude or interpretation that produce more flow.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
This New Moon is water based and the Grand Trine is earth, both of which are a bit complicated for the fire signs. So, the eclipse will activate a clearing or purging cycle. You can tune-in by doing a deep clean of the house, or in some other way. Venus in Virgo will push you to refine your skills and/or gather new tools. Focus on practicality for best results.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
This eclipse will activate important relationship dynamics. These could find you feeling sentimental and idealistic, perhaps even poetic. Meanwhile, social and cultural events could well be a much-needed source of fulfillment. So, the time is right to step out and cut loose a bit. But make extra efforts to avoid intrigue and give others something positive to talk about.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
This eclipse will activate or synchronize with changes in your lifestyle. Circumstances will push you to adapt and this will likely require extra effort. Feeling as secure as you would like, may be an issue. Be on the alert for impatience and expectation. It may prove necessary to communicate any concerns or problems right away, clearly and diplomatically.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
The coming Solar Eclipse bodes well in your chart. It indicates a creative and joyful cycle. Venus in Virgo too and the earthy trine will activate some pleasant exchanges and returns as well. Many changes in your overall perspective and approach that started a couple of months ago especially will go to the next level. This is a welcome counterbalance to other more complicated undercurrents.
