Horoscope for the week beginning July 1
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
Upon reflection, as the current New Moon cycle draws to a close, some very pivotal events have occurred in the world. Britain’s break from the EU is uppermost among these. The entire cycle was loaded with powerful events as was indicated by the powerful Mutable Grand Square and triple conjunction.
The next New Moon occurs on July 3 for most of the world but on July 4 in the Pacific, Alaskan and Hawaiian time zones. Where last month’s New Moon hosted a rare and powerful exact triple conjunction with Venus, this month Mercury is in close alignment with the Sun and Moon. Because this occurs in the sign of Cancer, we can expect a peak in the graph for otherwise rational perspectives to be influenced by subjective, emotional sentiments.
Themes of change and transformation and all the emotional dramas which usually accompany these are indicated. There is also a distinct emphasis on healing and it leans toward the tone of a major operation as opposed to mere bandages and other such simple measures. We can expect that emotions and tensions too will be running high.
PS: Happy Birthday Canada and United States!

July 1 – 7
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Your focus is now centred on home and family affairs. Some of these may be fraught with challenges and power struggles. This trend will likely continue over the coming weeks and could produce significant and irrevocable changes. Important lessons may be learned. Positively, honesty will be aired and beauty will flourish.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
Meaningful exchanges and more intimate communications with family, friends and neighbors is the current focus. Some of these could prove quite heated and intense, however. Your ability to empathize and see things from the perspective of others is extra important now. Fairly asserting your own position as well is the balancing act.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Taking stalk of what is most important in your life is on your mind. While questions of financial security are in the mix, family relationships will come clearly into focus. Call it a test or an evaluation of your values and priorities. Sharing quality time moments will prove significant but may include the need to make extra efforts for the sake of harmony.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
The time has come to proceed with goals and plans that have been waiting for their time. Ideally, the opportunity to bring creative design to the fore is available. Attending to a variety of fronts is also likely, as has been true for many months now actually. All the while you are in a playful, sporting and, perhaps, competitive mood.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
Stepping back and out of the spotlight for a while is the call now. Enjoying quiet time is featured. If embraced positively, you could catch up on home projects or interests that have finally reached the top of your list. The danger is that you could take on more than you would like. Reserve some of your time to simply rest and recharge.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Intimate encounters with family and friends are proving extra important of late. Reunions, on one hand, and making new connections, on the other, are also likely.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
Focusing on your work pace, space and place continues. Deciphering how things can work best in context with others is front and center. Key communications with your associates are taking on added importance. The time has come to enter into a new round of communications. You are determined to implement new strategies.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
Your sights are set on the future. Gaining clarity and outlining a plan of action feels extra important. This includes networking with other key players. Beyond the facts and even realistic goals, you may feel the need to express your more personal feelings about certain matters. Protecting your sense of individuality is featured.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
Diving deep to both access your core feelings and to release unwanted attitudes and attachments is underway. It is all part of a refinement of your sense of maturity and/or for the sake of your public status and professionalism. This cycle will continue for several weeks so tune-in and cooperate with the process.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
Paying closer attention to the quality of your relationships continues. This includes your own conduct and that of others too. Paying close attention to what is said and especially to how communications are expressed is a central theme. Cultivating empathy is implied. This includes truly listening and deciphering the quality of intent.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
The time has come to forge ahead. Your ambitions are at a peak. Fueled by various categories of security needs, you feel determined to succeed. Rewards for past actions have been flowing in yet they come with the mixed blessing of having to let go of roles and relationships.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
If you have the opportunity to enjoy some R & R, do it now. This window will be open for the next few weeks especially. Your passion and drive will also be at a peak. The time is also right to continue to increase your social outreach. Cooperation with practical strategies and creative expressions is the call.
