MONTHLY
OVERVIEW:
Summer lovin’ is in the air! The Sun spends the first three weeks
of July in Cancer, your fifth house of romance. On July 11th, a total solar eclipse
in Cancer could bring one of the year’s most passionate days. Your love
life gets a kick-start over the next six months, along with your creativity.
This month, sexy Mars, romantic Venus and structured Saturn also visit Virgo, your seventh house of relationships. The rose petals and windswept fantasies could come along with a real-deal commitment. A proposal is even possible, especially when Saturn leaves Virgo on July 22nd.
The fifth house also rules procreation, so a surprise visit from the stork
could come with this eclipse. Either way, begin to live your life with pleasure
at the forefront of all decisions. “Will this bring me happiness and
fulfillment?” should be your guiding mantra. Indulge your senses fully,
then return to moderation when the Sun moves into Leo on July 22nd, your
sixth house of fitness and organization. The month ends with a July 25th
Aquarius full moon in your mystic twelfth house. You may have a long-overdue
clearing of the air, or a troubling situation may leave your life, making
way for healthier experiences.
LOVE & ROMANCE:
You’re a little manic when it comes to commitment this month. Hyperactive
Mars and romantic Venus are both in Virgo, your relationship house. You’re
ready to dash off to Vegas, to put the down payment on the love nest without
reading the fine print. While you have one foot on the gas, the other is
pressing on the brakes. Cautious Saturn in finishing up a three-year tour
of Virgo on July 22nd. Since 2007, you’ve really matured when it comes
to partnership, either through challenging lessons or taking on a deeper
commitment than ever before.
On July 22nd, Saturn moves into Libra, your eighth house of intimacy and joint property. Between now and October 2012, Saturn tests and builds your capacity for soul-level bonding. Are you up for the “’til death to us part” type of commitment? If not, Saturn will act as a tough-love coach, pushing you to expand your skills. Don’t shy away from working with a couples’ therapist or doing thorough self-examination during this cycle. Although it won’t be easy to face your deepest fears about trust and intimacy, you’ll become a rock-solid partner as a result.
The brightest spot is July 11th, when a total solar eclipse in your passion sector awakens desires and new pathways to pleasure. At the July 25th full moon, you may put closure on a toxic tie. An ex could resurface, trying to pull you into an old dynamic. Let it serve as a reminder why this person became an “ex” in the first place. Politely but firmly state your boundaries—and stick to them.
MONEY & CAREER:
You’re all about fun and not counting pennies for the first three weeks
of July. Go ahead and play, Pisces—you’ve earned the right. With
Jupiter and Uranus in your financial sector since June, the money has rolled
in, and you’ve got some extra cash to spare. Treat yourself, but don’t
be too extravagant. Jupiter and Uranus both turn retrograde (backward) this
month, which could slow down the earning rate a bit.
Self-discipline is much easier after July 22nd, when the Sun moves into Leo, your sixth house of work and organization. Spend the rest of July getting papers and other affairs in order, and systematizing everything. That same day, structured Saturn moves into Libra, your eighth house of wealth and joint finances. Saturn will be here until October 2012, demanding that you may more attention to details and get serious about your financial future. Real estate, investments and debt payoff could be part of your next two years. Saturn’s energy is restrictive, so resources you’ve counted on may not be as available as before—especially if they came through a spouse, inheritance or an outside source. Cut up those credit cards, except maybe one for emergencies. It’s all about learning how to work with what you have.
On July 26th, unpredictable Uranus will oppose Saturn, a wild-card day for
work and finances. You’re as likely to receive an unexpected bill as
you are a surprise windfall. You may be tempted to make a big purchase, only
to find you’re not approved for credit or that money fears stop you
short (listen to them). Or, you may receive a job offer that doesn’t
quite have the benefits package and salary you hoped. If possible, avoid
making big decisions around this date. Wait a couple weeks until the energy
is less polarized.
HEALTH: MIND, BODY & SOUL:
You’re not in the mood to turn down that extra helping or dessert—so
just enjoy for the first part of July. On July 22nd, the Sun will move
into Leo, your health and fitness sector. You can swap the heavy cream
and Bordeaux for trail mix and fresh fruit then. That same day, structured
Saturn enters your eighth house of internal health and psychology, staing
until October 2012. Work on your inner well-being and emotional stability—it’s
as important as your physical fitness now.
At the July 25th Aquarius full moon, release your grip and surrender a situation to divine forces. It’s time to say goodbye to something you’ve outgrown. You can’t heal this one by trying to force things to go your way. If you feel any aches or pains, they may be connected to your mental or emotional state, so deal with everything on a holistic level. That same day, Jupiter will square off with Pluto. Your newfound confidence could cause a shift in power dynamics among friends and colleagues. Be assertive, but don’t push people’s buttons for kicks. While you may feel gleeful for a moment getting a rise out of a nemesis, you’ll ultimately feel icky for getting power at someone else’s expense. Next up: your Pisces Weekly Horoscope >
