CANCER  (JUNE 21- JULY 21)  Okay, so this month we are going to find the glimmers of positivity wherever we can, because the backdrop of the world is just way too unsettling…  So here goes.  July begins with some Mercury-Neptune dreaminess, good for intuition and creativity.  Saturn and Jupiter are in a potent angle all month, putting the focus on resources. It’s a good time to take stock of your financial situation, and then by the 8^th, when Mars –entering  Taurus on the 5th—makes an aspect to Saturn you can get your ducks in a row and manifest some plans. The 13^th brings a Capricorn full moon, always a lunation with a practical edge, and of course, it’s an important full moon since Capricorn is your opposite sign.  Stay calm—this full moon falls on a trigger point of the Earth axis, so you can expect more global stress, especially since the north Lunar Node catches up to Uranus at about the same time.  Uh-oh, shields up!  Expect the unexpected. But Venus gets into an angle with Neptune by the 12^th for a few days of inspiration and sense of connectedness to all things and all people. By the 18^th Mercury in your own sign catches up to the Cancer Sun and they both are opposite Pluto for a few days of intensity. Watch out for power struggles. The Sun enters Leo on the 22^nd, and on the 23^rd Venus in Cancer makes an angle to Jupiter in Aries.  Nice!   This is a sweet aspect with good feelings and a sense of completion. Keep in mind that Saturn is in the mix too so an emotional or financial commitment might be involved.  Mercury in Leo squares Uranus for a few days at the end of the month, right around the new moon in Leo on the 28^th, and yow, Mars in Taurus catches up to them both.  Pay attention to all your wild and crazy ideas but back up your hard drive.  There could be power outages, very bad weather, and lots of surprising events….

LEO (JUL 22-AUG 21) Yes, the planet is a hot mess, quite literally, and the shenanigans continue during July, I’m sorry to say.  There are some bright spots, though.  July begins  with a quick Mercury-Neptune aspect that is really good for intuitive insight.  Jupiter aspects Saturn all month, putting the focus on money and land and the economy in general.  It is a good time to evaluate your situation.  Mars enters Taurus on the 5^th and by the 8^th aspects the Saturn-Jupiter angle.  You will be able to turn your analysis and assessment into a workplan, so go for it.  The 13th brings the Capricorn full moon which is also a good time to bring concrete plans to fruition.  This one does fall on the Earth axis, so expect more tumult, surprises and potentially dangerous weather. Keep in mind that Uranus spends most of the month sitting close to the North Lunar Node, which intensifies the shocking, surprising, and unsettling nature of Uranus.  Be ready for anything.  Venus does aspect Neptune around the full moon, and this pretty combination surfaces a sense of connection and universal oneness.  We could use some of that!  By the 18^th Mercury in Cancer catches up to the Sun and they both oppose Pluto for a couple of days of intense willfulness.  Step into your power! Then the Sun enters  your sign on the 22^nd. on the 23^rd Venus in Cancer makes a pretty angle to Jupiter for a few days of  positivity.  Then hold onto your hat for the new moon in Leo on the 28^th.  Mercury in your sign squares Mars and Uranus in Taurus.   Lay low and back up your hard drive.  Make sure you have enough candles and bottled water to weather a power outage. This is a very disruptive set of energies!

VIRGO (AUG 22- SEPT 21) Well, what can I say? The sense of upheaval and uncertainty continues through July… Sigh. But keep in mind that the unexpected events which are the hallmark of Uranus  on the Earth axis also bring some surprises that are actually good.  (Just had to point that out in case I am causing your head to explode….! ) The month begins with a nice Mercury Neptune angle which is great for creative thinking and inspiration.   There is a particular focus on issues of resources this month with Jupiter in an angle to Saturn pretty much all July.  This is a good time to make financial decisions and assessments.   Then on the 5^th Mars enters Taurus  and by the 8^th it gets involved with Saturn and Jupiter, giving you the ability to make some  concrete plans, just in time for the Capricorn full moon on the 13^th. God knows a Capricorn full moon loves some planning! This full moon does fall on the Earth axis, pulling in Uranus’ disruptive influence so yeah, expect some ups and downs.  But Venus aspects Neptune on the full moon, putting an emphasis on compassion and connection.  Yay, bring that on! By the 18^th Mercury in Cancer catches up to the Cancer Sun and they both oppose Pluto for a few days of power struggles—more public than personal but still, watch out for disagreement. The Sun enters Leo on the 22^nd and on the 23^rd Venus in Cancer squares Jupiter. Yay!  A few days of positivity, and given Jupiter’s angle to Saturn, this could be about financial or emotional commitment.  Then The Leo new moon on the 28^th is a big mess  with dramatic Mercury-Mars-Uranus-North node influences of sudden unexpected events and really bad weather and perhaps a big tech crash of some sort. Back up your hard drive!

LIBRA (SEPT 22-OCT21)  Just telling you what I see, honey: July continues the whiplash of world events and general sense of uncertainty and awfulness.  I will try not to dwell on that!  The month begins with a nice Mercury-Neptune square which is good for mental creativity and also for silliness and binge-watching Shark Academy.   Enjoy.  Keep in mind that Jupiter and Saturn are in an angle all month, and this largely has to do with financial resources and land. It’s a good time to take a look at your finances and make some decisions.  You’ll be helped by Mars entering Taurus on the 5^th, especially on the 8^th when it aspects Saturn and Jupiter, giving you the oomph you need to make some plans.   Then the Capricorn full moon comes on the 13^th, and the earthiness of Capricorn will also help you turn your plans into actions.  Venus squares Neptune on this full moon and you’re feeling all mushy about connections and relationships. Even though this full moon falls on the Earth axis so yeah, there will likely be some global crap to deal with, but Venus and Neptune will surface compassion and oneness.  On the 18^th Mercury in Cancer catches up to the Cancer Sun and they both oppose Pluto for a few days of  speaking truth to power. Go for it.  The Sun enters Leo on th3e 22^nd and on the 23^rd Venus in Cancer aspects Jupiter in Aries and of course pulls Saturn into the mix.  This will have you in a good mood and able to make a commitment to a relationship, a project, a job, a financial investment.   Then hold on—the end of the month is wild.  There is a big new moon in Leo on the 28^th along with fractious Mercury-Mars-Uranus-North Node aspects.  Expect the unexpected.  Expect bad weather and maybe tech crashes, a power outage, something weird like that.

SCORPIO (OCT 22-NOV 21)  Well, the world is a mess—still, yes, and again this month.    It’s not my fault,  I swear!  At least the month begins with a nice Mercury-Neptune angle that plunks you into a juicy intuitive dreamtime for a few days.  There is actually a stabilizing aspect between Saturn and Jupiter all month, which is a great influence for long-term planning, especially financial planning.   Take stock of your situation and then let Mars in Taurus as of the 5^th help you make concrete decisions and plans.  We are heading towards the July 13^th Capricorn full moon, and god knows a Capricorn full moon loves earthy planning, so get to it!  This full moon also has a Venus-Neptune  angle that sparks mushy feelings of connection , compassion,  and oneness.  We could all use that on this full moon which falls on the Earth axis, stirring up some tumultuousness.  By the  18^th Mercury in Cancer catches up to the Cancer Sun and they both oppose Pluto.  Uh oh, watch out for some power struggles.  Then the Sun enters Leo on the 22^nd, and on the 23^rd Venus in Cancer makes an angle to Jupiter!  Since they both also aspect Saturn, you’ll be making a commitment to a relationship or to a financial decision.  Go for it.  Hold on tight for the Leo new moon on the 28^th – oh jeez, it has very disruptive energies of Mercury, Mars, Uranus and the North Node.  Back up your hard drive!  And prepare for bad weather!

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22- DEC 21)  The hits keep coming to our wee blue planet and everyone on it. It’s gonna be another month of that, I’m afraid… But July begins with a nice Mercury Neptune square that is creatively inspiring but makes you highly distractable!  By the 5^th  Mars enters Taurus which should help you focus.  Keep in mind that Saturn and Jupiter are in an angle all month, a good  influence for long-range planning, especially around finances.  By the 8^th Mars in Taurus aspects the Saturn-Jupiter angle, and it should allow you to make those plans manifest, especially with the Capricorn Full moon coming on the 13^th.  A Capricorn full moon is all about manifestation!  This full moon is .. well, complicated.  It falls close to the Earth axis, so it will be tumultuous for the world, but there is a beautiful Venus-Neptune aspect that is all about compassion and connection.   By the 18^th Mercury in Cancer catches up to the Cancer Sun and they both oppose Pluto.  Watch that you don’t throw your Sagittarian weight around in any needless arguments.

Go for it!  This full moon does trigger the Earth axis, so there will be some global upsets, but keep your focus. Venus aspects Neptune on the full moon, putting an emphasis on connection and relationships.   By the 18^th Mercury in your opposite sign Cancer catches up to the Cancer Sun and they both oppose Pluto in Capricorn.   Uh oh, you might be throwing some bossy weight around, so be careful of that.   The Sun enters Leo on the 22^nd, and on the 23^rd Venus in Cancer squares Jupiter in Aries and they pull in your ruling planet Saturn as well.   This is an important combination for you, bringing a sense of satisfaction and facilitating a financial or relational commitment.   The Leo New moon on the 28^th simply reverberates with weirdness, so lay low. Mercury, Mars, Uranus and the North Lunar Node conspire to mess up the energy grid and tech systems.  Stay out of arguments.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20-FEB 19)  I keep saying this month after month, but it’s the truth—your ruling planet Uranus is wreaking some kind of havoc on the planet and will continue that in July… Sigh. But the month begins with a nice Mercury Neptune transit that makes you kinda dreamy and inspired.  Keep in mind that Jupiter and Saturn are in a potent angle all month, putting the focus on resources and financial matters.

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 19)  I wish I could write that things are calming down, but they are not.  Deep breaths!  The global stress and uncertainty continue!  But the month does begin with Mercury in a n aspect to your ruling planet Neptune, inspiring you creatively and making you all dreamy.

Just to enhance these earthy decisions, we are heading towards a Capricorn full moon on the 13^th, which is all about manifesting.  Use this energy to get your ducks in a row.  This moon is powerful and falls on the Earth axis, so yes, there will be smore tumult, but Venus aspects your planet Neptune and the focus of your decision-making is your relational values.

ARIES (MAR 20-APRIL19)   The world continues to be a danger to all living things this month—what can I say?  But don’t forget Uranus also brings the unexpected, and not all that’s unexpected is bad.  In any case, July is a mess.  The month does begin with a nice Mercury-Neptune angle that plunks you smack in the middle of the dreamtime, and mitigates whatever forceful agenda Mars and Pluto are surfacing ion you at the start of July.  It’s a great time for inspiration.  In  addition, keep in mind that Jupiter and Saturn are in a productive angle all month, putting a focus on resource planning and development, especially around finances and real estate.  Mars enters Taurus on the 5^th, which will give some oomph to your planning, especially on the 8^th when it gets involved with Jupiter and Saturn.  The Capricorn full moon is on the 13^th, putting pressure on those decisions and pushing you to manifest some goals and workplans.  The full moon of course triggers the earth axis and so there will be global upsets, but the backdrop is a sweet Venus-Neptune angle which is all about compassion and connection and oneness.   Whew!  Finally.  Then by the 18^th the Cancer Mercury catches up to the Cancer Sun and they both oppose Pluto for a few days where you are bossy as hell.

Stay grounded and be prepared.

TAURUS (APR 20-MAY 20)  Oh honey, it’s not my fault but this month brings more tumultuousness our way.  It’s just how things are right now.  There are some bright spots, however, and in early July, Mercury sweeps past an angle to Neptune, inspiring creative vision. Use it!    Mars and Pluto are squared so you have a deep unease about the world – this is when a meditation practice comes in very handy.  Keep in mind that Saturn and Jupiter are in an interesting angle all month, making it a good time for planning and evaluation, especially in regard to resources and financial matters.   Mars enters your own sign of Taurus on the 5^th, and that will add heft to your planning, especially on the 8^th, when Mars gets involved with Saturn and Jupiter.  This is a good time for earthy, grounded planning, and the upcoming Capricorn full moon on the 13^th really  will push you on that.  Although the full moon triggers the earth axis and brings some global craziness, the Venus-Neptune square inspires compassion and a sense of connection to all living things. – a rare concept these days!   By the 18^th Mercury in Cancer reaches the Sun in Cancer and they both oppose Pluto.   Ooh, kinda juicy—interesting things may come to light!  But at the same time beware of power struggles and of getting blindsided by secrets.  The Sun enters Leo on the 22^nd, and on the 23^rd Venus in Cancer gets involved with Saturn and Jupiter , bringing completion and commitment in relationships and in regard to some of your earlier planning.  Nice!  Then here comes the utterly disruptive new moon in Leo on the 28^th, bringing together Mercury in Leo with Mars,  Uranus  and  the North lunar Node in Taurus.  This is one new moon where you may not  want to leave the house, just make sure you have enough candles and essentials to get you through a power outage, and/or a really big storm, and/or a tech crash. I don’t mean to be a Debby Downer, but this new moon is like Uranus on crack…. Expect the unexpected.

By the 18^th Mercury in Cancer catches up to the Cancer Sun and they both oppose Pluto.   Watch out for arguments and power struggles—you don’t need them right now.  The Sun enters Leo on the 22^nd, followed by  a Venus aspect to Jupiter and Saturn, bringing closure or fruition to some of those plans you made earlier.   Then here comes the disruptive Leo new moon on the 28^th, along with intense aspects of Mercury, Mars, Uranus and the North Lunar Node.
