Horoscope for the week beginning July 7
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
When the Sun is in Cancer, which is ruled by the Moon, moods tend to swing more wildly than at other times of the year. This certainly includes highs but lows, too, and the shifts come quickly.
With the Moon coming to full in Capricorn on July 8, the usual spike in the graph can also be expected. Given the larger planetary background, an added measure of drama is indicated. This Sun/Moon/Earth relationship is the very foundation of astrology and observations of the synchronicities they produce represent the origins of science itself.
The larger background must always be considered. The orbiting planets are ever in motion and are never in the exact same relationship twice, when the whole picture of the solar system is factored in. Since each planet symbolizes distinct archetypal forces, which are mitigated according to the signs they are in and the aspects that each makes to other planets, the energy patterns are ever changing and these together reveal the greater flows of destiny. These destiny flows can be measured and this is what the science of astrology is all about.
The personal impact of the planets includes the Natal Chart, which is cast for the moment of first breath. This applies to countries, provinces and states, cities, business and any legal entity in existence. The difference between these and individual persons are activated by the official signature as opposed to the first breath. This level of astrology is called Mundane Astrology and what it suggests is that, like people, places have a distinct character and personality as well and are also subject to the cycles of change and these too are measurable. Have you ever noticed how each place you go to is unique? The reason is linked to the astrology of that place.
July 7 – 13
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)
A busy time on the home front continues. Some pretty big actions are brewing. Digging deep into what needs to be done is featured. A proactive approach in this regard may serve to offset problems cropping up. You are also in a social mood. Weaving in plenty of playtime is featured and is important for your overall success.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
Finding reason and opportunity to express a full range of your thoughts and feelings is a central theme now. Creative expressions may manifest as art and will prove extra inspiring. Allow opportunity for variety and to be spontaneous. Trusting your abilities and the flow in general may be the bigger challenge these days. Let go of control and be here now.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Your social meter is rising. A period of rest and retreat is now complete. Now your focus is upon exploration and self-expression. You are on the lookout for inspirations. Social interactions are indicated and ideal in this regard. Generally, your spirits are up and you are happy to meet and greet friends new and old.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Pioneering initiatives continue to guide your focus. Circumstances are leading you into new territory. Your approach may be assertive, even aggressive. Yet, you are happy to listen more than speak. This is allowing you time study others and learn how they are and what is motivating them. Watch and learn even while you march on.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Balancing your need and desire to be social and to retreat continues. On the inner level, you are challenged to break through fears, doubts and procrastination. The flow is guiding you to enter new territory somehow. This includes meeting new people. Fortunately, you are in the mood to do both and the opportunities are available.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22)
As the world turns, certain people exit the stage and new ones enter. This is probably true for you these days. This reveals the importance of tuning in to your internal compass and destiny; call it your primary relationship. In practical terms, expanding your social outreach may well be linked to business and stimulating new markets, clients and streams of income.
Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22)
Your public and professional arenas are extra busy these days. Your ambitions are high. This includes both learning and sharing your knowledge and expertise. Fortunately, you feel extra social and open to both meeting new people and to new ideas, concepts, and philosophies. Cultural exchanges are also a source of satisfaction and inspiration.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You are beginning to see a bigger picture. As you do, your imagination is ignited. At worst, this is stirring fears about the future. Positively, you can see new possibilities and are gaining insights into the revolution of evolution. Protecting some of your own interests is likely. This is your invitation to stretch out of your comfort zones.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Tending to some of the deeper things in life continues. This process includes important meetings and interactions with other key players. Your ambitions are strong now yet courage is required to act upon them. This is where the deeper challenge comes to the fore. You may be just as happy to slip into dreams of possibility to act upon another day.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Intimate interactions on relationship fronts are keeping you busy of late. This includes thinking more deeply and intently. The advantage of doing so is that nuggets of opportunity and creative inspiration for advancement are indicated, yet you have to dig deeper than you might usually to access them. Don your reporter’s cap and ask questions.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
A process of adjustments, refinements, and improvements, in general, is underway. Your focus is directed both within and without. Since everything in existence is constantly changing, we are ever challenged to re-centre. Doing so requires intuitive attunement. Failure to tune-in produces imbalances. Invite open communications with others in this regard and listen for clues.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
A creative cycle is underway. Yet, it is one that requires a dynamic and assertive approach. Inspirations to create beauty in your home environment are featured. So, you could find yourself engaging in spring-cleaning, renovations and possibly even major moves altogether. On this high side, this is a time of returns so be open to receive and look for opportunities.
