July 2010 Astrology Forecast
By Gwynne Mayer

The month of July is notable, involving some major astrological events which take place. These events are following a Lunar Eclipse that occurred at the end of June in the sign of Capricorn as if Capricorns need much more stress in their lives. Uranus decides to change direction on Monday, July 5th and will turn retrograde until December affecting the signs of Aries and late Pisces as to changes that need to made. The Solar Eclipse, July 11th in the sign of Cancer will need to be handled with some care, especially in areas of intense authority and responsibility. We are undergoing a T Square, which is made up of Saturn opposing Uranus and squaring Pluto so these affect most everyone as a result. Remember to look at your ascendant first, your moon second and your sun sign last when reading astrological forecasts.

Aries - Changes are happening in relationships during this month, for some it will be changes that are needed for better communication and for others it might be the beginning of the end. When Aries asserts their independence, all Hell breaks loose. So why now? Saturn is moving into the 7th house of relationships for the next couple of years so all of you who are in relationship with an Aries, watch out and pay attention to the freedom issues that they need for growth. There might be some changes in the environment that are spurring some of the immediate reactions, however it is the communication in the relationship which has caused the problems and that is where those problems will be solved. On the other hand, your home is becoming more important to you as far as getting your things in order and you might have some new ideas that you want to put in place in the area of your home. Now is the time to demand the rewards you need because of your performance in your career. The time is now to capitalize on such things.

Taurus - You are having some difficulties breaking habits that are not to your benefit. Your health may be affected by these behaviors and it is time to look at what is in your diet, and some of your addictions. Taurus rules the lungs so hopefully this is not a smoking habit of any kind. You might find that some new business comes your way this month so it will be wise to be at the top of your 'game'. Family and relationships around family concerns will be very important. You will need to make sure that all communication is truthful and decisive and that undercurrents of resentment aren't brewing in the background. Be honest about your feelings and your thoughts with those you love and even though it might be received with a bit of hysteria, at least it won't boil up into volcanic reactions in the near future. During the eclipse July 11th take specific caution with your health and get plenty of rest. Do not allow yourself to let emotions drive you when during this time as things could get volatile.

Gemini --- Gemini is probably moving forward with goals that are coming to fruition, regarding jobs and money. The issues around partner's money may still be holding the Gemini back from being too enthusiastic, so watch communication when it comes to the way you support your partner. You have some romantic bones that have been calling to put more passion into your relationships and hopefully that takes place this month, but if it doesn't pay attention to those things that give you pleasure. Your first born or other children may be those you want to hang out with and enjoy during this month. You have a certain degree of luck this month which might give you some extra money or a small windfall that helps you out in a 'pinch'. Becoming part of a social networking system like 'Facebook' or 'Twitter' may be just the thing for you to play with and enjoy your communications with people you normally don't see on a daily basis. Don't forget to make amends with your siblings or those with whom you associate much like your siblings. This is not the month to spout off without thinking of the consequences.

Cancer --- This is a very busy month for you in many ways. Getting your life in order, making needed changes and capitalizing on the eclipse cycles in your sign will help. Your emotions might run high, but that is because you have put your feelings to the side and allowed others to take precedence. You might want to take a vacation and just 'chill out' and that vacation may be to enjoy your home and its surroundings. There will be a chance to do some much needed house cleaning and getting rid of 'stuff' you don't need to make room for some prosperity in the near future. Are you reading to receive wealth, peace and happiness? You might want to think about this as it would focus on your needs and those things that you have wished for but never allowed yourself to own or have. You often know how people feel that is left unsaid, so it will be important for you to follow your intuition in this matter and address some unspoken things that are going on, especially in relationship to loved ones.

Leo --- Leo's are watching their finances this month and moving toward resolving some issues that have occurred due to collapsed relationships in the past. It might take Leos a while to catch on to their own 'relationship problems' as they are the, as a friend said recently, the common denominator, so it is important to read the signs and pay attention to the math. Leo should mind their manners with their siblings and close neighbors during this month, maybe pay attention to watching what is said and done and maybe forgiving those thoughtless and careless remarks made around family gatherings. This is a time for self reflection and renewal in spirit….body, mind and soul, so spend time especially during the eclipse time around July 11th to meditate and enjoy the wondrous connection you have to spirit and the connections to the universe. You are meant to thrive on a fiery spirit and now is the time to reflect on that that means. Toward the end of the month, you might be getting in touch with old relationships that need some kind of friendly update, but by no means get involved in any romances until after your birthday this year. Use your head and make a list of all those things you bring to a relationship and see what happens.

Virgo --- Sex and money should be playing a big part in your life these days…..kind of unusual for you pure virginal Virgos :-). It is important to your health to have a handle on how you use your sexuality to get what you want and how transformative that might be. On the other side of the equation, the eighth house, finances and investments are important so there is a need for balance in these two arenas. You have a multitude of friends with whom you can socialize during this month and have fun and frolic in whichever way that is possible. You have people with whom you socialize and they look forward to being with you as well. Your sense of humor is needing a boost, so look at life in a more joyful way so that you are a pleasure to be with instead of a critical analyst who unloads on his/her closest associates. Romance will be more fun as long as it stays romantic…..you tend to get bored with the everyday part of relationships so enjoy the feel of the summer fun and frolic and leave the heavier stuff for around your birthday. Use your intuition and your psychic abilities to work out the kinks in the patterns you have set for yourself.

Libra --- You are having some major dilemmas in the area of relationships, whether to stay or go, whether to commit permanently or not, changes also in the area of career and taking on more responsibility so what WILL YOU DO? You are learning from this experience so keep that in mind as it is an important time in your life, to make needed changes and quit procrastinating about what really gives you passion and continuity. People from the past keep entering your life so they may have a message from you, a message that will help you make those changes you need to make. It is important to treat yourself well and rest, meditate, pray or all of the above. The time is now to reconnect patterns from old habits and find a way to make new inroads to new and prosperous connections in the near future. This is a great networking time for you and time to rebuild your highly intelligent connection to your soul's purpose in life. Your intimate relationships may seem a bit rocky the first part of the month but all things will clear up and you will find that you have worked through some life long struggles by working out the relationship issues. Take on more responsibility for making things work!

Scorpio --- Keeping your secrets will pay off this month as you build the road to success in your mind and heart. It is time to manifest some of those dreams and wishes that you have been nurturing the past few months. You need to keep networking and figuring out who and what will benefit you the most as you take an accounting of your present position in life. Career opportunities might come forward and give you the go ahead for the next couple of months. Be aware of what you really want and keep your mind open and ready to pounce on whichever opportunities come your way. Keep your personal business and relationships out of the public eye and respect your privacy and sacred space. It might be a time for you to write down all the possibilities that you will allow in your life, your receptivity to be successful at this time. You think and act with more depth than most so it is possible that you are in the beyond the norm in that regard.

Sagittarius --- Be more cautious this month and start taking an accounting of how quickly and spontaneously you make decisions and then rethink them after the fact. It is time to look at some ways that you project on others some of the hidden parts of yourself and then realize with a 'shock' how you let all of these surprises to your psyche happen. It is wise during this eclipse cycle this month to reflect on yourself and feel more assured the next time you make relationship decisions or think about moving up the ladder of success. There are some reasons you need to be more laid back this month, some of which are stress and accident related so please pay attention to all the signs on your pathway. Be sure to rest and watch your diet so that you are not causing unneeded toxins to accumulate in your body and then causing you to over react to certain elements in your environment and then making yourself ill. This is a time you really want to take responsibility for your situations, especially around family life and communication.

Capricorn --- Capricorns are being whipped around by a Pluto T-Square that is continually making their lives difficult at most and stressful when trying to butt their heads against the walls that present themselves. This is a time to be more cautious about the changes that are being made in your life, to also plan for your future and invest your time and money in the immediate future. You are responsible for many things, the least of which is your health and welfare and these are musts at this point. You will feel better about yourself if you make cautious and thoughtful decisions based on your reality and not that of a partner or close intimate other. You are going to have to take care of some financial matters in the next few years that take a great deal of thought and consideration. You have not been the easiest person to live with because of all the things you have on your mind, but the good news is that these thoughts will pay off in a big way as time moves on. You might have to wait longer than you want to in order to capitalize on these things. You will find your emotions are raw which is very unusual for you so watch what you say and how you say it so as not to reveal too much of your stress these days. Maybe next month will be better.

Aquarius --- Aquarians have been spinning in the universe, creating new visions, getting lost in space and still being the brilliant signs of the zodiac. You guys can live in a reality that other mortals like us don't know about and can't even begin to guess at…but on a real 24/7 life where you need to take care of yourself and plan realistic visions, you are lacking and now the stress level is building to a point where you need to focus on a daily activity and possibly make some grounded commitments that may seem superficial to you, but are long lasting to others. You have had some aches and pains that may have been caused by an auto immune syndrome and you are finally figuring out how to take better care of yourself and your diet so life in the future might be a healthier life style which will keep you free of the aches and pains of the last few years.

Pisces --- Pisces is making big changes in their lives, moving on as one might say to the next challenge and the next phase of their lives. They may be making changes in career, relationships, familial connections and the like so all of those who know Pisces might see big changes ahead for them, successful ones at that. The relationships have taken on new meaning as your boundaries become more in place and you learn to speak from your 'center'. It might be time to also thinking of moving to a new location so some things might present themselves as opportunities to move to a more successful location and see what the universe has in store for you. Pisces tends to isolate and not take risks, at least not out in the sense of being 'open', however this is a time where risks and open talk just might get you somewhere. There may be some opportunities that you have not considered in the past but are now making more sense to you. These are things you have left on the back burner and are now ready to be cooked.
