July 2015
July has two full moons and one new moon. The 1st Full Moon shines on the 2nd in Capricorn and the rare second Full Moon is on the 31st in Aquarius. The New Moon takes place in the sign of Cancer on the 16th, so lots of emotional shifts and illuminations to highlight the midsummer, so get your intentions ready for the coming months.
The Fire signs: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius will benefit from the Venus/Uranus, Venus/Jupiter agreeable links in the 1st week also after 24th when the Sun and Mercury move into Leo things should brighten up.
The Earth signs: Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo will feel their internal power around the 7th and need to watch any power struggles around 13th, if this happens then strive to secure a position where the gain is far more than the cost.
The Air signs: Libra, Aquarius and Gemini may find that concentration needs more self-discipline as the month rolls on as enjoyable distractions come in to tempt you away from the mundane but important everyday routine.
The Water signs: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces it seems the demands fall thick and fast, but look to conserve more energy to achieve your goals around the 9th or at least be on your way to a new sense of freedom from demands by the 16th.
Aries Mar 21st-Apr 20th
This month the focus is a bit polarised until 24th when the focus of work and home shifts to more creative pursuits. Until then your career and home life needs to be flowing in harmony, so work towards an elegant sense of balance where you can be who you are and grow accordingly. Your energy is extremely strong, your drive is purposeful to achieve equilibrium in the areas that mean so much in your day-to-day life. Once that has been established you can kickback and spread your enthusiasm and joy to the social part of your world where you can truly have some carefree fun, where you shine as bright as your birthstone, the diamond.
Taurus Apr 20th-May 21st
The communication area of your life is highlighted, and the need to be on the ball and alert seems to be governing your thoughts. Whilst there may be a need to prepared there is also a benefit to allow for some adaptability. All the thinking and assumptions you make have a purpose, to alleviate anxiety. But the anxiety may be an old reference that you return to in your mind, to a time past that feels similar to the present. If that is the case, ease up, relax and know that you are well prepared, experienced and can take a break to enjoy the life you have created. The last minute changes in a plan around 16th can work to your favour, be objective and by 19th a new sense of value and joy enters in, embrace the change as it opens up your mind, your emotions and your financial advance.
Gemini May 22nd-Jun 22nd
You start the month with a strong sense of direction, after much thought it appears that you know what you want. I suggest that by waiting until 9th you will be in a better position to evaluate how much effort and funds will be required to pull-off your plans. That you have a clear idea is half the battle, now you want to develop it into a reality may need a further plan. It will not be difficult in furthering developments and by 16th the green light is clearly marked for you to proceed. You are at your most charming and that can be beneficial in advancing relationships in all areas of your life, but watch for the odd retracing of your steps in your emotional ties as you may have moved forward but has someone else, they just may want to clear an old issue once and for all.
Cancer Jun 23rd– Jul 23rd
You are feeling sensitive and so the see-sawing of you and your relationships may feel intense at times but there is a balancing in-between the fluctuations. This process is so that you can announce yourself. You have been quiet, mulling over the pros and cons, but the first week begins to prompt you from your shell. By the 16th you are emerging further and with the energetic Mars in your sign, joined by Mercury on the 8th, you will be feeling more direct, say-it-as-it-is and announce your feelings in a straight forward way. This will offer you a sense of empowerment, some authority to your relationships and by the end of the month you feel less overwhelmed by others.
Leo Jul 24th– Aug 23rd
With the support of Venus and Jupiter in your sign very little will rain on your parade. There may be the odd universal wake-up call to pull you from your partying but the mundane also needs your positive attention. Your responsibilities are easily dealt with if you tackle them promptly, if left or avoided then your party feeling could be compromised by unnecessary downpour of anxiety. Watch for the 2nd and 16th when those mundane things in life call for your attention, deal with them in a dutiful style and then fully return to enjoy the creative and pleasurable times, free from thoughts that could compromise your delight with life.
Virgo Aug 24th-Sep 23rd
A more reflective mood enters and this should not be approached in a self-critical way but in a gentle exploration of your feelings. By keeping busy you can avoid this process but it is for your gain, to enhance your self-knowledge and growth. You are known to overwork, to over worry and to over extend yourself. So, busy as you are take the odd moment, 2nd, 8th and 16th to gain some insight on how you can accomplish more with less effort. Your financial goals are lined up, you can achieved your aims but remember to position yourself in a principal central place within so you can radiate and be rewarded for the kind and gentle spirit that you are.
Libra Sep 24th-Oct 23rd
Decisions, decsions, decisions…three areas of your life call for review and choices. Let’s start with relationships, they are exciting and thrilling, at times…next your career, you are working towards an opportunity, oodles of effort involved…and your home life, is under adjustment too. But nothing needs to be done immediately, take your time, well at least one area can wait until the end of the month. Prioritise and select, list the potentials and follow your intuition. Your friends are more than willing to listen, to help you clarify your options and the next step towards your internal and external makeover. Pace yourself and be Master or Mistress of your own destiny by the choices you make this month.
Scorpio Oct 24th-Nov 22nd
Your financial world is coming together. There have been set backs, but you have persisted and remained resolute in your quest. Now you can put the final pieces in place. There will be some costs but you have accounted for this, done your sums, and the bigger picture is looking steady and well balanced. This month you may benefit from a more philosophical approach so that you can adjust from the hard mental focus to taking action and manifesting your determination. The hard work is done. Those in authority, or those that can help you finalise a long process are waiting in the wings, you only need to state your case and intentions. Enjoy your accomplishments and move onto your next chapter with a sense of joyful anticipation.
Sagittarius Nov 23rd– Dec 21st
A new month, a new way of expressing yourself to the world. We can get stuck in a theme, in an image that once represented who we were. This month you begin to redefine your personae, your uniqueness and direct your message of who you are today. Relationships are demanding, changing but maybe they are trying to keep up with you and your evolution. If this is so then try to accommodate their shifts as they are a reflection of your development. You can safely take a back seat as preparation is the key to your next move. Permitting others to lead temporarily, you permit them to reach your elevated space, let them catch up with you as in working together great achievements can be made.
Capricorn Dec 22nd– Jan 20th
July ushers in with the first Full Moon in your sign on the 2nd, so the shining light is on you. As a Capricorn you are noted for your need to attain, your desire to reach the highest you can. You have worked hard, you have steered yourself through tricky waters and now find safe ground is within reach. But it is not the time to be anchored in one area of life, as it is also time to look at your relationships and social life to balance your great drive to attain. Take a much needed break in the second week, breathe, stretch-out your internal energies to make some space for potential relationships that could offer you what you need, co-operation. The 16th throws up the need to push forward, you can take the driving seat but let others help navigate as the journey ahead requires collaboration and delegation.
Aquarius Jan 21st-Feb 19th
It seems the material areas of your life are needing your insight. Of all the signs your ability to be objective and impartial is well-known, but if pushed you can also adopt an immovable stance that can just stop listening. Resist this urge by reminding others to pin back their ears and hear what you have to say, before they offer their uninformed opinions. Be firm, not static, be visionary not unseeing and you will get your point across. By the 24th you should have things on side, but with the added benefit of the rare second Full Moon in your sign on 31st , you have much to look forward to.
Pisces Feb 20th-Mar 20th
At last, hurray the sun is out and shining on your life. This month you lighten up, you wake from a sleep to a brand new take on your life… and it’s looking good. Your energies are restored, your sense of renewal is apparent and you spontaneously respond to the call of the new developments that surround you. Make good use of the opportunities that are on offer, your intuition is confident, your trust is reinstated and you are looking uncustomary commanding. Take your place this month to establish your management skills, nobody does it quite like you as you manage with guidance and not with power games.
