As
was the case in June, the Universe has
decided to kick July off with a solar eclipse. Having two consecutive months
begin with a solar eclipse is uncommon enough, but with the rest of the planets
adding their own colorful energies to the mix, you're in for an entire month of
fireworks!
July literally starts off with a bang, as a solar eclipse occurs in Cancer on
July 1. Cancer is generally associated more with home, family and emotional
bonds than it is with excitement; in this case, however, the solar eclipse will
form a rather stressful alignment with Saturn, Aries and Pluto. You'll feel
pulled in four different directions, and it simply won't be possible to resolve
every problem that arises. Your best strategy will be to take a few deep
breaths, fix as much as you can and put everything else behind you. Just be
prepared to make peace with the fact that you won't be able to remedy
everything.
And that's just the first day of the month! On July 2, Mercury moves into Leo,
adding more wit to your conversations. On the following day, July 3,the Sun
bumps into Saturn, and while this transit might feel downbeat, it's really
quite practical and helpful.
Venus then joins the Sun in Cancer on July 4, upping the emotional factor. July
6sees Saturn reappear with Mars, and while whatever you do at this time may
require great perseverance, don't give up! Finally, July 7 shines as a bright
spot on the month's calendar as Jupiter and Pluto offer the necessary
motivation to make things happen.
The ensuing week may continue to feel a bit bumpy, but things should start to
calm down on July 15 when the full Moon in Capricorn brings a sense of
practicality to an overly emotional month. Life will take on a completely
different tone on July 23, when the Sun moves out of Cancer and into Leo, a
transit that's sure to bring on a much livelier and flamboyant mood. Throw
friendly Venus into the Leo mix on July 28,and you've got nothing but good
times ahead!
