Horoscope for the week beginning July 5
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
The first New Moon of Summer occurs on July 8 at 12:14 a.m. PDT, so it takes place on July 7 for most of the world.
The eclipses in April and May and the ‘Super Moon’ of June sure have delivered in terms of synchronizing with powerful events. I am referring to the massive flooding the world over. These peak points in the cycles of nature are not easy to predict, but they are certain to occur and the endeavor to be able to predict where and when they will occur constitutes the roots of science and astrology. These powerful events have and continue to bring about the change and transformation that they were predicted to produce this year. Astrologers sent this warning out earlier this year. I made clear mention of it in my Horoscope for the Year 2013 which is posted on my website, along with forecasts for each sign covering 2013. Regarding the catastrophic impact of nature that have and continue to be visited upon humanity, finding the silver lining can be especially tough in the wake of such widespread tragedy and devastation.
Perhaps the rare and powerful exact Grand Trine in Water between Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces on July 17 will reveal the inner gift of these events. This is a rare and powerful alignment because it is exact to the degree and involves three of the five far planets. The odds of this occurring are very low and yet here we are at this powerful and pivotal time having the privileged opportunity to experience it. I will bring more attention to it next week. The synchronistic effects of it are certain yet difficult to pinpoint because cosmic alignments affect people and places here on Earth relative to their respective reality and circumstance – cycles within cycles. Whatever happens, we can expect it to be very big and overflowing with emotion and inspirations too! P.S. The New Moon in Cancer occurs on July 8 at 12:14 a.m. PDT.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
A whole new level of confidence is emerging for you. It is inspiring you to create beauty and it may also be a consequence of this intention. These are all features of a larger process of change that is affecting you inside and out. The focus over the next several weeks will be upon home and family. Watch as thought and feeling spin big and fast.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
An expansive cycle continues, yet is now entering a whole new stage. Engaging with others in new, creative ways will soon become apparent. Communicating your ideas with vision, passion and precision will become increasingly important. The time has come to entertain new possibilities.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
A cycle of building upon new foundations has begun. Expect a big emphasis on developing and refining your skills and talents. Your motivation will include desires to receive returns for your efforts. A learning curve is implied and will continue for some time. The emphasis over the next few weeks will be upon improvement.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
The New Moon in your sign indicates a big activation for you. This is especially true because Jupiter entered Cancer on June 25 and will be there for a year. Expect some big activation! These will boost your confidence to go bigger and aim higher, to take leaps into the unknown. P.S. Be careful it is not your waist size that gets all this expansion…
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
A good deal of activity behind the scenes should be keeping you busy now. Call it backstage rehearsals. There are indications that this is a very creative and fertile cycle. However, you will still have to proceed with faith and may have to dig deep to access it. It may also be compared to a composting process. Balance patience with diligence.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
What are your hopes and dreams? These are important questions to answer and the sooner the better. These are likely to be linked to expanding your network, to collaborating and perhaps to publishing or getting the word out there in new and exciting ways. Your willingness to take new leads, learn new skills and approaches is essential. Big results call for big action.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
A period of advancement and expansion in your public and professional life has begun. In the short term this will produce emotional determination and creative intention. The gathering of new tools and the development of new skills is a likely challenge. This will extend into the future as well. Be willing to invest.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
The time has come to nurture some new beliefs, visions and/or philosophies. For the sake of your future, innovative thinking and veritable reinvention is required. Yet it is also important that you take your time to be deeply discerning about what you truly want and need. Some actions cannot so easily be undone, if at all. Soul search!
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
You have arrived at a very important juncture. Expect some big endings and new beginnings on their heels. Some of these have likely already begun over the past several weeks. This may be deemed a spiritual time of an extraordinary kind. Thoughts of death, eternal life and of soul realities linger. Insurance and/or inheritance will require attention.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
The big activation of energy occurring now will be evident in your relationships. New beginnings, expansion, creative self-expression, love, romance and beauty are all key themes. Amidst all of these will be an added edge requiring deep fixes, repairs and renovations. Exercise full diplomatic measures to perpetuate harmony.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
Changes in your daily routine and overall lifestyle are rolling in. These are linked to health somehow. Proceeding with diligence and discipline is extra important. This includes facing certain fears and a will to learn new skills. Making key investments is also implied. Get ready to get to work.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
An extra creative cycle has begun for you. The momentum of it will increase over the next several weeks. Expect a weave of learning, networking and artistic expression all requiring your concentrated focus. This is all the roots of a major period of expansion that will endure for up to a year. Intend to make the most of it.
