Welcome to Your July Horoscope Overview!
Welcome to your July overview, this is a long-awaited month of eclipses. It's time to buckle up and prepare for some massive physical and emotional changes. This month we will be enduring two eclipses, one Mercury retrograde, and an extra new Moon at the end of the month. It's pretty safe to say that July is nothing short of fireworks. As some of you may remember, from January 2019 we began some major shifts in our lives in terms of emotions and responsibilities. It appears now we are reviewing some of the changes that we have made over the past six months.
So Let's talk about eclipses. Eclipses are cosmic portals that create endings and beginnings. We are looking at the aspects of the archetypes of cancer and Capricorn, which may be work-life balance, how to perhaps raise a child and still nurture a career. For some it may be taking care of an older relative, and how that affects the home life. Many of you may experience deep changes in the months ahead due to what comes up in July. Some will be moving, others will be choosing to have children. Some will be choosing to set outgrown relationships, careers, and people free. What we are really identifying in our lives is where we need to nurture and cultivate better more emotional connections (Cancer), and release old overbearing ways of doing things (Capricorn). It's very likely by now you have identified where things are shifting in your life. If you have not already, its an excellent time to get online and take a look at your natal astrological chart for more information. For those of you born from the early 1980s, and 1988-1995 this may be an important time to consider checking in with a reputable astrologer as this significantly affects the trajectory of your life. All eclipses bring great change and require us to be willing to let go of the old to make way for the new. So accepting what may come and go in the weeks ahead is pivotal.
Generally, when a departure happens, and space is created it’s taking place for something new. But be aware, it's not always as easy and clean-cut as it sounds. With Mercury going retrograde, it’s possible there can be some miscommunications, crossed wires and delays. The focus on Cancer is really truly speaking to our emotions. So I would like to stick with that for this particular article Paying attention to how we FEEL. How our home feels, how our body, heart chakra, stomach feel. These are all important areas of life to be mindful of, they’re particularly sensitive now. It’s possible some of these new opportunities appear before we have physically or emotionally made space for them. It’s possible we are left vulnerable and bare as this changes happening, patiently waiting for the next thing to come along and fill the space. Be patient, with yourself and others.
Do your best to practice self-care, and set all things free with love. The universe will be testing you later in the Month when Mercury stations direct and comes back again the beginning of August to confirm is this really what you want? As per most retrogrades, when Mercury turns back there can be issues with communication, emails, technology, and agreements. With the harsh aspects to Pluto and Saturn, it’s especially important to be mindful of what you agree to, as there can be some underlying issues with someone or something pressing you, forcing you, or guilting you into making a rash decision. Major moves, leases, home purchasing, starting a family, etc. fall under cancers realm and should be carefully considered for some of you. Take your time. Be aware of any push back you’re experiencing now. Don’t play mind or power games. Don’t put up with any either.
It’s safe to say that things begin to level out closer to the beginning of August next month, however, eclipse energy triggers events that may only be starting now. Technically they may have six months to a year to play out. Thankfully with all of the conjunctions and aspects to between Venus as well as Mercury, you have several opportunities to speak from the heart. Doing so creates numerous opportunities to level up to what your heart needs this year. The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer is harvesting new opportunities to care for something, and to some extent may be more manageable for most of you. The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn is what may throw some of you off. This will be about completing major projects, heavy lifting, dealing with completions and endings. The Leo New moon at the end of the month will be an incredible time to start fresh, be clear, and have a path forward. Do your best to have an open mind, and be optimistic that July is a month that redirects you, gets your priorities straight and puts you on the path to finding Home, with whomever, whatever, where ever that may be.

Ask yourself if your vision for the future fits with them in it. This is also a time where you may find yourself contemplating or wondering if you are going to have a child. Think about this long and hard before you make a decision, because you may be very fertile in the months ahead. I recommend letting go of old friendships that no longer suit you, and finding creative ways to fill your schedule and get organized.
