July Asrology 2008
Happy Birthday CANCER and LEO Natives!!
Four of the five outermost planets are retrograde this month. We will now be reevaluating on a very deep level the true purpose fo our lives. Questions of values will emerge as we redefine what is important to us and where we next want to put our creative life energy. Jupiter is Retrograde in Capricorn; Uranus is Retrograde in Pisces; Neptune is Retrograde in Aquarius, and Pluto is Retrograde in Sagittarius. If any projects or relationships become stalled, you can use this time to review, make revisions, refresh your perspective or rethink your position.
Also, an important Mars transit begins July 1 when the red planet enters the contellation of Virgo where Saturn already resides. Mars represents speed, action, impulsiveness and dynamic energy. Saturn represents caution, self-discipline and restraint. All of this means that we will have plenty of discipline to work on our future plans, but we can also experience frustration if we don’t use this energy in specific, task-oriented ways. If you are going in a direction that others oppose, this would be the time to pull back, look at the big picture, and devise an approach that will not meet with resistance or opposition.
Venus
and Mercury join the Sun in moving through Cancer and oppose Jupiter in Capricorn at various times during the month. As a result you’ll want to spend time at home with family, while at the same time go out into the world, expand your horizons and advance in your profession.
Uranus
began it’s once-a-year retrograde period on June 26th and will stay that wai until November 27th. Uranus transits can bring about disruptions and instability as part of a larger part of change and delivers new experiences and unusual events. It also brings out an individual’s need to express himself freely and experiment in order to make positive changes in the world. You may experience a rebellious need to replace things (or people) in your life that no longer fit your view of the world. You’ll feel the need to reexamine the changes that have occurred as you look for reasons why certain things that seemed just fine yesterday do not seem quite right today. You will become aware of new ways of seeing and thinking about the world as images seem to bubble up from your subconscious. Try to avoid breaking off relations with partners, both business and personal. To make the most of this period, you want to bring about life changes that will lead to personal growth and evolution as you reassess your values, reflect on your intuition and explore your inventiveness and creativity. Learn to recognize what is working in your life and take steps to redefine your dreams, ambitions and aspirations.
A New Moon occurs when the Moon and the Sun are in the same sign at the same degree - usually once a month. It is a time of concentrated energies and new beginnings. This month’s New Moon is on July 2 at 7:19pm at 11°32’ Cancer. The New Moon’s message is to look within for inspiration and plant the seeds now for what you want to happen in your life. The Full Moon will bring what you ask for at the New Moon. The Full Moon is on July 18 at 26 °24’ Capricorn at 3:59am. The earthy Capricorn Full Moon creates practical, disciplined energy in order for you to get things done. :-)
