July is the month of Eclipses!!! That means big things can happen or culminate once and for all, ready?!
Good, there are also some planets going Direct and Retrograding and some energy changing signs so let’s look at how the month lays out.
First, VENUS heads into Virgo on the 9th where she will now travel until August 6th. That means the weeks ahead are about her influence on our work, health and animals, as well as our hired help, co-workers, cleaning, organizing, and paperwork. So, Venus here may bring love or income flow, or focus things on a woman or women, or bring beauty themes into the mix. She tends to help us smooth out issues or attract the good stuff or enjoy ourselves more, so it looks like these areas should be a lovely place in our lives right now.
Next, JUPITER comes out of his Retrograde on the 10th, turning to face forward and start taking us back out there into that next chapter with any legal, travel, educational, media, ceremonial, religious, or political influences on our financial needs, sex life, reproductive situation, divorce, mortality issues, or third-party situations. He began his Retrograde back in the second week of March, so we should be ready now to move out of the past and start this ball rolling into the next thing. We now move through the second half of Scorpio with Jupiter from today through November 8th and then he will exit and take his gift of expansion, protection, or the setting of the stage for more happiness or prosperity with him in these areas for another 12 years, make this time count.
On the 12th we get our NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE! This is about boosting us into new or next level territory when it comes to our home, family, parents, roommates, moves, renovations, real estate deals, history, ancestry, emotional needs, early childhood issues, or security needs. It can also help us eclipse out what is blocking the way to this fresh start or next level with the story. Eclipses have a trigger field so some of you may have experienced this particular boost back on June 14th and some may not experience it until August 9th since it can trigger a month to the day either side of the actual Eclipse. It can also have a window around the actual Eclipse which can bring things in any time between July 8th-16th with the actual peak in the middle. So, there are your parameters, let go of what is done, get ready to move forward. An Eclipse, once set in motion, can have impact for the next 6 months in your life.
The SUN heads into Leo on the 22nd kicking off a 30-day cycle here that puts a spotlight on love, lovers, kids, creative ventures, and recreational pursuits. It can also amplify courage, pride, drama, and stubbornness, lol, so watch how this plays in your world. The Sun here wants you to show up and get more personally or physically involved in these matters. It also wants you to stand out, take the lead and make it about you. This would seem simple enough if it weren’t for…MERCURY RETROGRADES in this territory starting on the 26th! So, here we are, showing up, ready to do things with lovers or to fall in love, ready to get in there with kids or fun or creative endeavors and Mercury starts to slow us down and ask that we rethink something ongoing or from the past in these matters over the weeks ahead. So, expect past people or situations to return, for current people or situations to exit or to slow down enough for you to rework, release or rekindle something, it’s a do-over and you want to pace yourself. Also, Mercury Retrograde is notorious for mix-ups, breakdowns, break-ups, and malfunctioning equipment and in Leo it will likely happen, if it is going to for you, when involved with these themes. So, do yourself a favor, always give a bit more time say when planning on taking the kids to their game or party, the roads could be closed, or directions lost. Give extra leeway to lovers, they probably just forgot the date was at 7:30 and not 8:30. Don’t make final commitments to the creative choices, you may change your mind after Mercury goes Direct, and be careful doing your sports or other recreational activities since you may not see that ball coming.
Finally, the FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE falls on the 27th which is about major endings, breakthroughs, wrap-ups, celebrations, or achievements in Aquarius. At this point you may be reaching that zenith with a friend, the group, an online interest, astrology, a charity, a party, event or gathering, your own personal aspirations, your freedom, or an original project or invention. As with the other Eclipse, this is more powerful than a typical Full Moon and has trigger dates when you can expect the potential to reach your goal or finalize the situation. These are: June 29th and August 24th, as well as either side of this Eclipse which would run from July 23rd-31st. Aim high.
ARIES:
Work, health and what’s going on with animals, as well as where you are with co-workers, hired help, cleaning, organizing, or paperwork, get a nice boost from Venus from the 9th through the rest of July. This may mean love or money is flowing more readily here or that women are the focus or helpful in your endeavors or that you make beauty the center of the efforts. She should help smooth out issues, attract these perks and bring more enjoyment.
You’ve had Jupiter Retrograde since early March and now on the 10th he goes Direct again. This means you are ready for the last full push forward with growth potential in financial, sexual, reproductive, divorce, mortality, or third-party situations. Look at how travel may get you there or how legal needs can be handled or what you are doing in media, marketing or with educational pursuits here, or if ceremonies, religion or politics play a part. The energy is now moving forward and will complete by Nov. 8th, not to return here until late September 2029. Make it count.
The NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE on the 12th opens up momentum behind a new pursuit or that next level with something already in play and the focus is on your home, family, parent, roommate, a move, renovation, real estate deal, your history, ancestry, emotional needs, or security interests. Something may eclipse out to give you that boost into the next chapter and you may feel this 4 days either side of this period with events that motivate you to act. Trigger dates to watch out for that may link to this boost are June 14th, July 8th, July 16th, and Aug 9th. Some believe you should hold off on initiating right around the date of the Eclipse, so you avoid an overall eclipsing out of potential, feel it out and see what you think. As with all New Moons, you have 2 strong weeks to set things in motion based on what transpires.
The Sun heads into Leo on the 22nd kicking off a 30-day cycle that puts a spotlight on your love life, lovers, kids, creative ventures, or recreational pursuits. This period helps you stand out, take the lead or make it more about your needs being met. Soon after this kicks in, on the 26th, Mercury Retrogrades in this same arena so it looks like something/someone from the past is coming back around or a current situation is taking a rest or retreat, or you are slowing down to review, rekindle, release, or rework an ongoing or past scenario here so take your time over the weeks ahead. Do note that with Mercury Retrograde glitches if you are to have mix-ups, breakdowns or malfunctioning mechanical or electrical items they will likely be associated with things you are doing in these areas, go the extra mile to make sure everyone is on the same page and understanding what is really intended. You’ll thank me later.
Finally, the FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE brings things to a peak with friends, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, gatherings, freedom, personal aspirations, or original projects by the 27th. This can be about final endings, wrapping up projects, breakthroughs, celebrations, or achievements. Something or someone can be eclipsed out at this time so make sure it’s what you really want, otherwise expect big things to crest now. You can again have things 4 days either side of this day.
TAURUS:
The combination of Venus, ruler of true love, income, women, and beauty, with your fifth house of true love, kids, creative ventures, and recreation from the 9th of July onward should be something to smile about, Taurus. Link between the two columns for smoother sailing or attracting what you want, the details matter.
On the 10th Jupiter will come out of his months of Retrograde, (since March), and end his slowed down or back-tracking period with your partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, or other relationships and start to push you into that next big chapter with these folks over the months ahead. You’ll have the potential to take the current relationships into that next big chapter or to start new relationships. Look for ways to involve travel, foreign, legal, educational, media, marketing, wedding, religious, or political interests with them, you have until Nov 8th with this potential growth, happiness or prosperity with these people and then Jupiter will exit this placement not to return for another 12 years, make it count.
There is a New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 12th which is in your communication, information, merchant, and transportation zone. This is big for launching into something new or next level while eclipsing out whatever is over or blocking and the focus is on ideas, proposals, talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, offers, short trips, local activities, vehicles, electronics, siblings, neighbors, flirtations, or decisions. You have 2 weeks starting today with added momentum behind what you do in these areas so work it. An eclipse can have trigger dates 4-5 days either side of the actual eclipse as well as 30 days to the day before and after so note those dates for key insights about these topics.
On the 22nd the Sun heads into Leo lighting up your home, family, parents, roommates, moves, renovations, real estate deals, history, ancestry, emotional interests, or security needs over the next 30 days. This will urge you to show up and get more personally or physically involved in these interests, putting yourself at the core of what is going on. Then, on the 26th, Mercury Retrogrades over these same topics. At this point things should either slow down or nudge you back over something from the past that is playing out in relationship to these matters. You may exit or have someone exit in these areas or a past person, issue or opportunity could return. You could get serious about something already going on here and take these weeks ahead to get something right here, it’s a do-over. Mechanical malfunctioning, miscommunications, agreements gone haywire, or mix-ups, if they happen, will be tied to these matters so do make sure your gadgets are not over plugged in or fraying at the edges and if you can hold off on final agreements with home or family, etc., until the Retrograde ends on Aug 19th without losing out on opportunities then wait. If you need to move forward, then make sure to give yourself some wiggle room as things may shift up ahead.
Finally, on the 27th there is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse which is a major ending, celebration, break-through, wrap-up, achievement, or recognition on the career front, with a personal goal, your reputation, fame, status, or dealings with an authority figure like a boss, parent, judge, director, teacher, producer, priest, or other higher-up type. Lunar Eclipses tend to be more emotional and feminine and they can be quite final so do aim high but keep in mind the things you end now will probably stay that way. Again, with eclipses you can have trigger dates 4-5 days either side of the actual eclipse as well as 30 days to the day before and after so note those dates for key insights about these topics.
GEMINI:
Venus is showing up on the 9th onward this month to help you with home and family matters, and by extension, she is also there influencing real estate deals, moves, renovations, parents, history, security needs, emotions, ancestry, and roommates! Her influence should help smooth out issues or attract love or income flow into these areas or help you with a focus on a woman or beauty interest in these areas, so plan on spending some time beautifying your space, sharing the love at home or with family, earning from home or renovations, real estate deals, or in family dynamics, you get the idea.
Jupiter has been in a slowed-down state for months, since March, and it’s been about a break from all that momentum, a review or reworking of something going on with your work, health, animals, paperwork, hired help, co-workers, cleaning, or organizing. That changes on the 10th as Jupiter goes Direct and is now ready to start taking you back into new or next level growth in these areas via any legal, media, marketing, educational, ceremonial, travel, distant, religious, or political themes in the mix. You will have until Nov 8th with this important influence and then he will move on, not to return to these topics for another 12 years, so make this time count! Some examples would be to tackle legal paperwork, travel for work, focus on your marketing ideas with your work, learn a new skill or start teaching what you know, look at your health in relationship to your beliefs or educate yourself about better health practices, there’s lots of combo’s that could benefit you now.
The New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 12th is focused on your income or purchases or on your possessions or products. This is a very powerful boost from the cosmos, considered 3 times more effective in helping you eclipse out what may be blocking forward growth here and helping you to launch into something brand new or take current projects or interests to the next chapter over the next 2 weeks. Trigger dates to watch out for that may link to this boost are June 14th, July 8th, July 16th, and Aug 9th. Some believe you should avoid initiating right around the date of the Eclipse, so you avoid an overall eclipsing out of potential, feel it out and see what you think.
We have some new influx of energy streaming into your communication and information zone starting with the Sun on the 22nd, followed by Mercury Retrograding in this area on the 26th. So, the Sun’s arrival here puts a spotlight on you for the next 30 days urging you to show up and get more personally or physically involved with talks or meetings, short trips or local activities, sales or agreements, offers or proposals, writing or interviews, vehicles or electronics, siblings or neighbors, or your decisions on the table. You can stand out now, most likely in creative, fun or loving ways in these areas and it’s a good time to make it about you and your needs here. Mercury Retrograding over these same topics means things will slow down a bit giving you the chance to review what is ongoing as well as to return to any past ideas, issues, opportunities, or people for a do-over. You have until Aug 19th to figure this out and get it right. Do watch for the typical issues associated with Mercury Retrograde; mechanical breakdowns, gadgets and electronics that go haywire, mix-ups and miscommunications, and people changing their minds. Because of this side of the story you may wish to wait for final decisions or purchases until after this is behind you.
Finally, there is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the 27th that is about bringing a major or final ending to something in your 9th house.

You may be wrapping things up that you’ve been working on for a while or it could be time to end something here. It can also be about breakthroughs, celebrations or achievements in these areas of life. Just remember these Eclipses are powerful and if you are not interested in a final ending in one of these areas then avoid situations that may push that button! Trigger dates that might be part of the story for this Eclipse are June 29th, July 23rd, July 31st, and Aug 24th.
CANCER:

Examples would be meeting someone out in your community that you fall in love with or finding an earning opportunity locally, signing agreements with women or making beauty sales, the combinations are many, enjoy!
Jupiter has been Retrograde since March so his potential to bring growth experiences for you via lovers, kids, creative endeavors, or recreation have been more focused on past scenarios or in a holding pattern, so you could catch up on all that has evolved up to this point. Now, on the 10th, Jupiter is going Direct again, and it is his last big push in these areas of your life between now and Nov 8th for another 12 years. You really want to ask yourself if there is anything you would like to do in these areas involving Jupiter themes; travel, education, legal matters, media ventures, marketing ideas, publishing, weddings, other ceremonies, religious interests, or political pursuits. This would be the time to look into it while you have this kind of expansive potential. You might find the perfect school for your child, set the wedding date with a lover, travel to find love, get your creative project out via a media outlet, secure better marketing for your project, plan a recreational outing with your church group, you see there are many different possibilities, dig in.
The New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 12th is in your sign, Cancer. This falls at the 20th degree of the sign so those of you born 5 days on either side of this day will feel it the most strongly, however all signs will be part of this launch forward. This is about eclipsing out what may be blocking your progress forward while boosting you out there into something brand new or next level. The focus is on your personal or physical involvement in things that are important to you as well as what is going on with your body, image, brand, name, title, identity, or needs. So, you want to be proactive over these next 2 weeks in taking steps towards this next chapter. Trigger dates to watch out for that may link to this boost are June 14th, July 8th, July 16th, and Aug 9th. Some believe you should hold off on initiating right around the date of the Eclipse, so you avoid an overall eclipsing out of potential, feel it out and see what you think.
The Sun is heading into your income, purchases, possessions, and products zone on the 22nd and this is then followed by Mercury Retrograding over these topics starting on the 26th. First, the Sun will put a spotlight on you over the next 30 days when it comes to these matters, so it is usually a very good time to step up, get more personally or physically involved in what you want here and make it about your interests. You can also tie your name, title, image, brand, or interests to these areas with more success. Mercury Retrograde will slow things down and give you a do-over in some way. This may mean that you are taking a bit of a break from earning, purchasing, possessions, or products, or it could be that you are rethinking something you’ve been doing here. You could reconnect with past people, issues, opportunities, or ideas to rekindle, release or rework something in one of these areas or revamp an ongoing scenario. You will unfortunately have to be on the look out for mix-ups, mechanical and electronic malfunctions and miscommunications over these topics, so you will want to double check facts and figures when it comes to your money, receipts, etc. If you can hold off on final agreements or purchases until this is over on Aug 19th then you may be better off, if you have to go forward because you might otherwise miss out on an opportunity then leave a bit of wiggle room and keep a record of what you are doing!

This can be the time when you are wrapping up efforts or marking an ending or it can be about breakthroughs, celebrations or achievements here.
LEO:
July might be a month to remember when it comes to your income potential or what is going on with a special purchase. This same vibe could also mean something lovely is transpiring with your possessions or products. You can thank Venus, who arrives in these areas on the 9th onward and is there to bring a focus on the love or women, or to amplify the beauty or income side of the equation as she smooths out issues or attracts the more enjoyable flow your way.
Jupiter has been in Retrograde since March so the growth that you’ve been wanting at home, with real estate deals, moves, renovations, family, parents, or roommates has either been in a bit of a holding pattern or you’ve been focusing on reworking some ongoing scenario or returning to a past issue, person, opportunity, or idea to give it another go. This all changes starting on the 10th as Jupiter goes Direct here for the last time to start moving things into bigger arenas between now and Nov 8th. You should look at any legal needs, travel plans, relocations at a distance, involvement with people at a distance, educational pursuits, weddings, other ceremonies, media ventures, marketing ideas, religious interests, or political pursuits that tie into these topics while you have this energy working to broaden your scope.

This puts a spotlight on you and your interests and can help you stand out and take the lead when it comes to what you want. Focus on your body, image, brand, name, title, or personal needs or make it about showing up and getting more personally or physically involved in your interests. Mercury then Retrogrades in your sign starting on the 26th and will then be slowing you down and asking that you go back over something. This may mean a personal or physical review or returning to past people, issues or opportunities to release things, rekindle them or rework them. Consider yourself a bit in flux over the next few weeks as you figure things out, Mercury Retrograde ends on Aug 19th. Of course, you should also be aware of typical mix-ups, breakdowns and malfunctioning items during this period since you may feel it more intently. Try to hold off on final agreements if you can do so without hurting your opportunities since things will likely change a bit moving forward.
Finally, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse peaks on the 27th and is about your relationships, Leo. So, at this point you may be ending a relationship, wrapping up something you and that key player have been involved in, celebrating some achievement together, or marking a breakthrough.

Venus brings more pleasure with her and will be focusing it on you, your body, image, brand, name, title, personal interests, or physical pursuits. You may find that women are more key during this period or that there is more going on with love or that you have an easier time attracting income flow, or you may wish to use her influence for beauty purposes; new haircut, make-up, make-over, photos, you get the idea.
Jupiter has been in a holding patter since March of this year, so you may have felt that when it comes to a big decision or something involving media, marketing, education, legal, travel, ceremonial, religious, or political themes has been on hold when it comes to the talk, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, offers, or choices. That now changes on the 10th as Jupiter goes Direct and will now take his last big tour through these matters for you between now and Nov 8th. Other areas of life that might start to show some growth or happiness from Jupiter could be with brothers, sisters, neighbors, vehicles, electronics, local activities, or short trips, so pick and choose but be proactive about what that next big thing should be, Jupiter will exit in Nov and not return for another 12 years.

Mercury then Retrogrades over these same topics starting on the 26th and will be in Retrograde until Aug 19th. This is a do-over phase, a time when moving towards anything new will be slowed down a bit so you can either go back to past people, issues or opportunities to see if you can re-spark, release or rework something, or it will help you rework some ongoing scenario.

Jupiter, which has held so much promise for you in a new personal and/or physical 12-year growth cycle that is seeding this year, has been in a holding pattern since March. This period, although possibly frustrating, has been about giving you a breather so you figured out what the next big push would be about. It is now going to change as Jupiter goes Direct on the 10th and pushes you forward between now and Nov 8th. You need to get clear about where you want this to take you when it comes to your body, image, brand, name, title, personal interests, or how you are showing up in life and getting personally or physically involved. Look at Jupiter themes to guide you; legal, travel, foreign, educational, media, marketing, publishing, wedding, ceremonial, religious, or political matters. Once Jupiter exits your sign it takes 12 years to go around and return so think about what would bring you happiness or prosperity and start setting the stage over these next 4 months!
There is a New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 12th which is a powerful fresh boost for you in these areas of media, marketing, publishing, travel, foreign, educational, legal, ceremonial, religious, or political themes. You can eclipse out what has blocked forward motion as you ride this wave into something brand new or let it help you take current interests to the next level so be proactive. Trigger dates to watch out for that may link to this boost are June 14th, July 8th, July 16th, and Aug 9th. Some believe you should hold off on initiating right around the date of the Eclipse, so you avoid an overall eclipsing out of potential, feel it out and see what you think.
The last week of July starts to bring a lot of attention to the career or with personal goals or on a boss, parent, director, teacher, judge, or other authority type in your life. The Sun arrives here on the 22nd illuminating you in these areas and help you to stand out and take the lead about your interests here. You’ll have 30 days with this giving you some influence. Mercury shortly after this begins, starts his Retrograde over these same topics which is your cue to turn your focus back on something past. You may reconnect with past people or ideas, projects or situations, or you may rehash, release, rekindle, or rework things ongoing or past during the next 3 plus weeks, until Aug 19th. Do be aware of the typical mix-ups, mechanical or electronic glitches or miscommunications that can come with Mercury Retrograde since you won’t want it impacting long-term career matters or higher-up types. If you can hold off on final agreements or decisions about these matters until the Retrograde cycle is over without losing out on opportunities, then do so since you can avoid some of the added pitfalls that way. If you have to move ahead with something now then leave some wiggle room in contracts or purchase warranties, keep receipts, etc. for things purchased associated with these matters.
Finally, there is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse bringing a major peak for you at home, with family, a roommate, your real estate deals, moves, renovations, or parent around the 27th.

July gets going for you in several really nice ways, Sage, starting with Venus heading into your career zone on the 9th. She is going to be bringing her influences on your career, any personal goals and your dealings with higher-ups like bosses, judges, parents, teachers, directors, and the like the rest of the month. This means you may see more income flow here or more love, a focus on women or a specific woman, or it could be about beauty interests playing out in some interesting ways. Venus helps smooth out issues if you have them and bring more enjoyment in these areas as well so make it rain!
Next, your ruler, Jupiter, has been in a holding pattern since March and by this I mean it has either been holding you in the same position so that you could catch up with some of the big growth ideas and situations that took place leading up to it or it has been holding you back a bit from that next big opportunity while giving you opportunities in past scenarios (whether that has been about revisiting and reworking things there or finding the strength to let go of something for your better good). That now ends as Jupiter goes Direct on the 10th and will now give you his biggest push forward with your art, film, music, poetry, painting, dance, meditation, yoga, prayer, romantic interludes, dealings with institutions, or research over these months ahead. Apply Jupiter themes to these areas; travel, media, marketing, publishing, legal, educational, ceremonial, religious, or political interests. Make it count because once he exits these topics he does not return for another 12 years!
There is a New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 12th which is about giving you a major boost into something brand new or helping you take a current interest to the next level. The focus is on financial matters (loans, taxes, insurance, etc.), as well as on your sex life, reproductive needs, divorce, dealing with mortality issues, or any third-party situations. The eclipsing side of this can help you eclipse out whatever may have been blocking this new or next level potential. Trigger dates to watch out for that may link to this boost are June 14th, July 8th, July 16th, and Aug 9th. Some believe you should hold off on initiating right around the date of the Eclipse, so you avoid an overall eclipsing out of potential, feel it out and see what you think.
Starting in the last week of July energy starts to kick up in those legal, travel, educational, media, marketing, publishing, ceremonial, religious, or political arenas. First, the Sun heads into this territory on the 22nd, kicking off a 30-day cycle that spotlights you here. It’s time to show up and get more personally or physically involved in these matters or get your image, brand, name, title, or needs into the mix somehow while you stand out. Then Mercury begins his Retrograde over these same topics on the 26th and this will be in play until Aug 19th. This will slow you down when it comes to pursuing brand new things but rather ask that you get a brand-new start with past or ongoing scenarios. So, it’s a do-over, time to go back to past places, people, situations, issues, or opportunities and rethink things. Is there something to rework, rekindle or release under better circumstances that could help you move forward in these areas? You will have to be conscious of typical Mercury Retrograde issues like mechanical or electronic malfunctions, mix-ups or miscommunications associated with these matters and try to hold off on any final agreements or contracts about them until the Retrograde is over if you can do so without missing out on an opportunity. Save receipts and keep warranties in case you have issues.
Finally, there is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the 27th that can be about a big decision or offer coming in, a final or celebratory talk or meeting, a culmination around a sale or agreement, or something big peaking with a brother, sister, the writing, an interview, a short trip, the local activity, a vehicle, the electronics, or a neighbor. Expect to see things wrapping up, an ending, a celebration, or an achievement in one or more of these areas now.
CAPRICORN:
One of the first things you should notice as you get into July, from the 9th onward, is that things are starting to smooth out or go a bit better for you with travel, legal matters, educational pursuits, weddings, other ceremonies, media ventures, marketing ideas, religious interests, or political agendas. Venus is moving into this territory and will then tour here the rest of the month so not only may you start to enjoy yourself more in these areas but you may see love playing out via one of these directions or income flowing more easily or there may be a woman or women who are helpful or the focal point here or a beauty interest you are pursuing in one of these areas, so make it count!
Jupiter has been in a holding pattern for you when it comes to new growth or that next big interest with a friend, the group, your online interests, astrology, charities, gatherings, your personal aspirations, or original projects, since March. During this period, you’ve been meant to slow down and figure something out or catch up to the big things that came before this period. That ends now on the 10th as Jupiter goes Direct. From now through Nov 8th you will get your really big push towards happiness or prosperity or in ways that are meant to open things up for you in these social areas or with those dreams of yours and Jupiter themes are relevant to how you go about it: travel, legal, educational, media, marketing, ceremonial, religious, or political channels. So, you can see you have a crossover between Venus and Jupiter in how they want to bring some good into your life this month. Be proactive since Jupiter, once gone from this territory, won’t return for another 12 years.
There is a New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 12th which is a super big push forward for you when it comes to relationships. The eclipsing side of this can help you to eclipse whatever may have been holding you back from this new or next level potential and relationships means; romantic partners, business partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, competitors, opponents, advocates, or other key players. Since this is occurring in the sign Cancer your home, a move, your real estate deals, a renovation, your family, a parent, your roommate situation, security needs, or emotional needs, may fuel what you choose to do with them. Trigger dates to watch out for that may link to this boost are June 14th, July 8th, July 16th, and Aug 9th. Some believe you should hold off on initiating right around the date of the Eclipse, so you avoid an overall eclipsing out of potential, feel it out and see what you think.
The last week of July will really start to amp up in your 8th house activities. This may mean you are busier with a loan, the debt, an inheritance, a bankruptcy, the insurance, taxes, investments, alimony, child support, commissions, a partner’s money, or some other outside resource, or it may be about your sex life, reproductive needs, a death, a birth, the divorce, or your third-party scenarios gearing up. The Sun will be illuminating these matters starting on the 22nd, a trend that will be in play for the next 30 days and put a spotlight on you here. This is your cue to show up and get more personally or physically involved, take the lead and make it about your interests. Mercury will Retrograde over these topics starting on the 26th which will then slow you down and ask that you look at letting go of something, returning to past people, situations, issues, or opportunities to see if there is something to be reworked or released, or reworking some ongoing situation associated with these topics. Things are in flux so take your time and figure out what stays and what goes and what is in need of repair. Do watch for typical Mercury Retrograde issues associated with these matters such as malfunctioning mechanical or electronic items, mix-ups or miscommunications and hold off on final agreements or contracts until after this is over on Aug 19th is you can do so without losing out on opportunities. If you must sign something now try to give yourself a bit of wiggle room.
Finally, there is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the 27th bringing things to a peak for you with your income, purchases, possessions, or products. At this point there can be a major ending, or you are finally wrapping up a project, or you could garner some big attention or recognition for what you’ve been doing, celebrate or get that finalization or achievement in line.
AQUARIUS:
July looks interesting, Aquarius! First, Venus is heading into your zone of sexual interests, financial affairs, birth, death, divorce, and third-party interests starting on the 9th onward. This means you may now smooth out issues you’ve been having here or attract something pleasurable or something that comes more easily. Venus rules love and income, so you may see them flowing in these areas, for example your love interest gets sexier or more sexual during this period or you get the loan to make that purchase. Venus also rules women and beauty, so you may have some powerful or transformational experiences with them as well.
Jupiter has been in a holding pattern since March and this has impacted your growth potential on the career front, with personal goals or with your dealings with authority figures such as your parents, boss, the judge, a director, mentor, or other higher-ups. This should have been a period of delving deeper into ongoing situations or a time when you returned to the past to reconnect with past people, issues, opportunities, or ideas for a do-over. That ends now on the 10th as Jupiter goes Direct and starts his last major push forward with these matters from now through Nov 8th. Look at any legal, travel, educational, distant, media, marketing, publishing, ceremonial, religious, or political interests in the mix and be proactive about what you want, once Jupiter exits this territory in the Fall he won’t return for another 12 years.
There is a New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 12th that is all about giving you a boost into something brand new or helping you take a current interest to the next level and the focus is on our work, health or animals. This can help you eclipse out anything blocking this new or next level potential and can mean that next step with a job, your co-workers, the hired help, any paperwork, your cleaning or organizing projects, the health goals, or your animals. Trigger dates to watch out for that may link to this boost are June 14th, July 8th, July 16th, and Aug 9th. Some believe you should hold off on initiating right around the date of the Eclipse, so you avoid an overall eclipsing out of potential, feel it out and see what you think.
Energy starts to rev up in your relationship zone the last week of the month, so this is how it looks; first, the Sun heads into this sector on the 22nd where he kicks off a 30-day cycle that puts a spotlight on you with these players. This means you should stand out more and be able to take the lead and make it about your interests when it comes to the partners, clients, specialists, agents, competitors, attorneys, or other relationships. It’s time to show up and get more personally or physically involved. Shortly after this begins Mercury Retrogrades in this relationship zone on the 26th. This is your cue to slow down when it comes to new scenarios and find new beginnings or directions with past relationships or with ongoing scenarios and how you are reworking them. You may also see someone current exit if the timing is indicating this for you or they may be absent during the period of the Retrograde, until Aug 19th, giving you the space to figure something out. It’s a do-over so make it count. Do be conscious of the typical Mercury Retrograde issues such as mechanical or electronic malfunctions, mix-ups or miscommunications and give others the benefit of the doubt. If you can hold off on final agreements or contracts with them until the Retrograde is over without losing out on opportunities that is best but if you need to move ahead try to give yourself a bit of wiggle room if you change your mind up ahead.
Finally, there is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the 27th that is bringing something to a head for you since it is in your sign!

You may be reaching some kind of major peak involving your name or title such as becoming a Mrs. or Mr. or going back to your own name or getting a new title at work. You could garner some recognition at this time or find you are the center of attention in some other way. Or you could be reaching some apex with your brand or image as well. It’s time to wrap things up or celebrate you!
PISCES:

This is great for smoothing out issues in relationships or for attracting new relationships or for bringing more enjoyment in current relationships. It can bring all kinds of nice things with your romantic partners, business partners, clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, or even help you dealing with competitors. Venus may mean that at this time you’ll be focusing more on true love or income potential with these people or that you will find things are in swing with women or you are focusing on a particular woman with them. Finally, it could mean good things around beauty interests so enjoy!
Jupiter has been in a holding pattern since March and for you this has meant you have been slowed down from new situations involving growth through media, marketing, publishing, educational, legal, travel, foreign, distant, wedding, ceremonial, religious, or political arenas. During this period, you were meant to catch up to the growth that had occurred prior to March or you were being given time to let go of something/someone, rekindle something or rework it. That now ends on the 10th as Jupiter goes Direct and begins his last major push into new and next level scenarios with these matters between now and Nov 8th. Be proactive in what you want here since once he leaves in the Fall he won’t return for another 12 years.
There is a New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 12th that is about giving you a 2-week boost into brand new opportunities or helping you take current situations to the next chapter and the focus is on true love and lovers, creative projects and interests, the kids, or your recreational pursuits. This can help you eclipse out what may have blocked this forward potential as you move ahead now. Trigger dates to watch out for that may link to this boost are June 14th, July 8th, July 16th, and Aug 9th. Some believe you should hold off on initiating right around the date of the Eclipse, so you avoid an overall eclipsing out of potential, feel it out and see what you think.
The last week of July starts to rev up focus on work, health or animal interests. This may mean you are now in a place to land a new job or start looking or you could be getting a work project underway or working on something at home. It could be a time when you start to do more with co-workers, hired help, organizing, or cleaning, or when you focus on the paperwork and details around you. It can also be important for tending to animals. This begins on the 22nd as the Sun enters these matters and starts to spotlight you here. This is your cue to show up and start getting more personally or physically involved in your interests while you stand out and can make it about you over these next 30 days. Then Mercury Retrogrades over these themes starting on the 26th and this will slow down new situations to give you the time you need to rework something ongoing, release what is over or return to a past situation, person, issue, or opportunity in one of these areas to rekindle things, release them or rework them. So, it’s a do-over, take your time, watch out for typical Mercury Retrograde glitches such as mechanical or electronic malfunctions, mix-ups or miscommunications associated with these topics and try to hold off on final agreements or contracts with anything new until this is over on Aug 19th if you can do so without missing out on the opportunity. If you need to go ahead with it during the Retrograde leave some wiggle room in contracts in case things change or you change your mind up ahead.
Finally, there is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the 27th that is about a major ending, celebration, achievement, or wrap-up with your art, film, music, painting, poetry, or other artistic pursuit/interest, with your prayer, meditation or yoga, with a hospital or other institution, with a romantic interlude or karmic union, with an addiction or bad habit, a deception or secret, or with the research or investigation. Work towards what you’d like to see come through or end.
