Sensitive
and dreamy
Mercury in Pisces
loses some of his practical and logical way of thinking in a conventional
sense, however, a person with this placement likes to talk and think about his intuitive
insights, revealing dreams and those quite undercurrents that defy all logic. Mercury
in Pisces does not necessarily focus on the subject at hand and can easily slip
from one subject to the next, infusing his narrative with spiritual, even
religious, vocabulary.
Therefore, anyone
looking for a simple explanation of reality and the subject at hand may get a
little frustrated with this Mercury who, to the more sober and straight-forward
thinking mind, goes off on a tangent and often appears confused. The way
Mercury in Pisces communicates is therefore slightly unpredictable and
somewhere in between reality and the dream world he often escapes into. A
person with this placement communicates intuitively – this one doesn’t let
facts ruin a good story.
The world of glitz and
glamour fascinates someone with Mercury in Pisces – an escape from reality.
This can also include substance abuse.
Overall, people Mercury
in Pisces do better in an environment such as art, graphic design, fiction
writing and film production or theatre – anywhere were the mind runs freely and
where he is not required to contribute to debates and projects in an analytical
manner.
Nevertheless, Mercury
here is a visionary with vivid images who is great at expressing his thoughts
with metaphoric examples. He is however, always a little absent-minded. Someone
with this placement tends to talk in a soft, emotional and understanding
manner, he is ultra-sensitive, soaking up impressions around him.
Liza Minnelli has her
Mercury in Pisces alongside exalted Venus in the same sign. This is a glamorous
pairing and a suitable one for a high-profile, Oscar-winning actress.
However,
she is also known for her substance abuse – again debilitated Mercury together with
exalted Venus may well have to do with that.
Here is an overview
of how the Mercury retrograde from 26th June affects all star signs. For a general overview
and Mercury retrograde survival guide, read my previous blog post.
Aries
A
lot of focus on teamwork, sales and negotiations, communication in general,
short-distance travel and writing. Try and get your point across clearly or you’ll
be misunderstood now which may even result in some conflict. Any paperwork you
are waiting for, presentation material or your day-to-day travels may be subject
to delay. Make sure your laptop is backed up
Taurus
Your
finances are under review and while you may have experienced the first wave of opportunities
to increase your bank balance, you now realise that a lot needs to be done for
you to feel a positive impact. Equally, if your creative juices are not flowing
as they normally do, then sit tight, inspiration will soon return
Gemini
You
are the master of communication and your mind is working overtime at the
moment. But even more so now, you have to explore all options before making up
your mind. This is confusing both for yourself and others who may have to bear
the brunt of your indecisiveness and slight moodiness now
Cancer
Not
sure what to think and feel Cancer? It looks like it’s time for a holiday near
the sea where you can recuperate and mediate, however piece of mind seems so
far out of reach at the moment. You’re a water sign, so you’re good at going with the flow and that’s the best
way to get through the confusion and lack of clarity in conversations and when
you try and get your own point across
Leo
Your
finances are in phenomenal shape although you will have to watch your spending habits
a little at the moment – there may be a lot going out but not the same amount
going in. An old friend may also pop up again or an old work colleague who is
keen to get a new money-spinning idea off the ground
Virgo
It’s
all about your career. You have reached a peak over the past year and this year
and in particular these few weeks in June and July are one of the most crucial –
perhaps since you can remember – when it comes to life direction, profession and
what you’re true calling is….all of that will be reviewed and you’ll soon
figure out which path to take. Try and avoid being overly critical at the
moment
Libra
You’re
off to New York City for a long weekend? Make sure your airline has not changed
the flight details and your passport is indeed in your bag. Equally, if you are
finishing exams at school, are working on your MA dissertation or you are aspiring
to become the next William Shakespeare, make sure you back up you data and that
there is enough ink in the printer
Scorpio
If
you are waiting for a bank loan or mortgage agreement to come through, you may have
to wait a little longer for it to be approved. The same goes for your partner’s
resources – all of which may be subject to sudden transformation and change. There
may be some financial pressure for some time
Sagittarius
Major
focus on relationships at the moment and ironing out some of the issues you’ve
come across in the past few months. It’s not make or break but your partner
will want to have discussions – it’ time to review what’s working and what isn’t.
The same goes for your career – major focus on agreements and partnerships in
this area that may face some delays
Capricorn
Healthy
body, healthy mind could be a mantra you’re following at the moment as stress
levels at work may be on the increase. Watch out for delays in travel plans,
publishing deals and handing in your dissertation – who said doing an MBA was
easy?
Aquarius
Don’t
gamble your life away at the late night casino, you may be feeling ‘luckier’
than you really are. Tax, insurance and inheritance matters may also come under
review and may be put on the backburner as your children or lovers are getting
more demanding by the day
Pisces
Your
relationships and negotiations with business partners. You may be reviewing
contracts and agreements. Equally, buying and selling property or just moving may
hit a few stumbling blocks
I follow the sidereal calendar; this is the monthly solar horoscope
for birthdays from 14th April to 15th May or Aries
Ascendants or Moons
Aries, the main areas where you should see progress and forward
movement and where you can see possibility instead of obstacles again is around
your relationships and career. You’ve had Saturn in your 7th house
of committed relationships for the last nine months or so and in July, as
Saturn resumes forward motion, you will recognise how far you’ve come in terms
of understanding what you can and will tolerate in relationships and what you
have no patience for anymore. Often in Western astrology, Saturn in opposition
is considered more of a negative aspect and I tend to agree as you are being
asked to peel away a lot of layers you’ve covered yourself with so far and a
lot of what you’ve known starts dissolving – if it serves no purpose anymore.
Saturn in opposition can feel like one of life’s harshest lessons and for some
it may be, however, and this is where Vedic astrology does it better, Saturn is
exalted in the sign of Libra and in opposition means he occupies an angle from
your own sign – and this brings great results after some time of testing,
letting go and realisation. This is an important maturing process for you where
good relationships become better and unstable ones go out of the window. While
this primarily affects business and personal relationships, it also impacts
your friendships – anyone you are in a one-to-one relationship with. You want
commitment and loyalty now and you have little patience with those that don’t
have the same standards and levels of reliability and fairness as you do these
days. Still, you need to be careful not to become too rigid with everyone –
people may have good reason for not following your strict agenda always and
constantly.
In any case, this is a positive time for relationships whether you
are single or coupled – this area in your life is an important focal point this
year. Jupiter, the planet of expansion, optimism and opportunity, is now
transiting through your 3rd house of communication also comes to the
rescue providing you with a solution to some of the obstacles you may have faced
or even tackled head on since Saturn’s arrival in your partnership sector. Jupiter
introduces a little bit of ease and optimism which may have been lacking over
the past six months. Jupiter is also in your communication sector alongside the
Sun, Mercury and Mars so you will not be afraid to speak up and discuss what
needs to be discussed with your sweetie. Equally, if you are single, then this
is the time to sign up for some online dating, go speed dating or a friend
might introduce you to someone you click with. The 3rd house is also
the house of new contacts and with Jupiter here for another year, the chances
are that your social life remains red hot for the foreseeable future.
Now, Saturn is also the ruler of your houses of career and profits
and so coming out of his retrograde motion also has a really positive impact on
these areas. Again, although Saturn is in a square angle (90 degrees) there may
be a lot of hard work and patience required in this area too but ultimately,
this is a stabilising aspect.
This is a positive placement to obtain a prominent role through
diplomatic relationships that serve the needs of all involved. It’s not what
you know, it’s who you know these days as you are busy networking to enhance
your career prospects or make use of existing ones - think Dawn Draper in Mad
Men and you get the idea. Saturn in this position enhances your reputation as
someone who works hard and who is keen to build harmonious relationships with
co-workers and those in charge. At the same time, you are turning into the top
deal-maker, you have enough charm but at the same time, you keep your feet on
the ground and don’t promise what you can’t deliver. This is a winning
combination and this month, you could become the top sales guy or woman in your
organisation and there is no boss in the world who doesn’t like the sound of
that.
It’s the new Moon on 7th July in Gemini that helps
unlock all of the potential promised by this month’s stars. The new Moon
happens in your house of communication, team meetings and teamwork,
short-distance travels, media, writing and publishing so you’ll be busy
developing new ideas, networking and making new contacts. It’s the area of your
chart to do with boldness and courage, so whatever idea is still brewing in
your head, you won’t think twice about taking the opportunity to implement your
brainchild when the time is right.
Also, this new Moon is in the nakshatra of Ardra, ruled by Rahu.
This is the nakshtra of the wild one
and the risk-taker. It is a somewhat
shrewd placement where we communicate with wild force to elevate ourselves. The
ruler of this nakshatra is currently in your 7th house, so there may
be an element of others presenting themselves in a better light for a couple of
weeks or you may suddenly develop the urge to do so in business meetings or
your day to day relationships.
Then, for the next year, the square between Uranus and Pluto turns
into a T-square as Jupiter is now also part of the picture. For you, Aries, ALL
your area of thinking, perceiving, learning, dreaming, the mind, your attitudes
and opinions, the way you communicate and write is under some pressure or will
change in some profound way. Over this coming year, as your thought processes
continue to change, and in particular in July, you may be coming across some
‘Aha, I get it now’ moments. Your thought processes are changing and the
consequence of all of this are more wisdom, truth and understanding what the
bigger picture in your own life looks like.
Towards the end of the month, the full Moon on 22nd July
2013 in Capricorn in your house of home introduces a slight shift in focus. Do
I stay or do I go will be the important question as July turns into August. The
same goes for your job and career at the end of the month – it’s time to make a
decision.
Have a mind-blowing month, Aries!

I follow the sidereal calendar; this is the monthly
solar horoscope for birthdays from 16th May to 15th June of Taurus Ascendants and Moons
Taurus, this is a great time to spread your wings
professionally. You’ve put in a lot of hard work over the past few months as
Saturn moves through your house of work, health and daily comings and goings.
You may have felt under some pressure at work and you may have had to find a
way to make better use of your time as trying to integrate work load with
family responsibilities, going to the gym and having some down time…of which
there may not be a lot at the moment. Although much of it is related to career
and your life direction, as Saturn starts moving direct again on 9th July,
you’re ready to implement a new health regime or you’ve understood how to
manage the work load much better. If you are the type to get stressed easily at
work, and I’d imagine that not many Taureans do, this could have had an impact
on your health in which case, you should now also start seeing some
improvement. If you haven’t, then it certainly is time to join the running club
and start cutting out some of that sugar. This will also help you remain or
become more focused and productive – one of the key learnings of this transit.
Now, for you, physical well-being can also be
connected to how your bank balance is doing and this, together with an overall
focus on career and what you actually want to do in life are major themes at
the moment. In particular July 2013 is a month where you’ll see some results of
all the self-promotion you’ve been doing in May and June. It really seems as
though you are growing
either in your current role or in an entirely new one. You’ve probably realised
by now that where you are heading in life is not so straight forward and as
everyone, you want to leave your mark in this world but exactly how, you’re not
so sure of. Over the past years, you’ve had Uranus going over the top of you
chart and now Neptune, two quite unpredictable and intangible planets that
either cause disruption or confusion, so the best thing you can do is go with
the flow. Not so easy for a stubborn bull but perhaps now in particular, you
realise how beneficial it can be not to insist on pushing through your point of
view or stubbornly resisting change. You are learning to look at things from a
different perspective now and this gives you insights that eventually lead to
something more fulfilling, perhaps even, if you can manage it, with less of a
focus on the bank balance.
Nevertheless, your financial situation is in the
spotlight with all your money houses being activated this month. There is
enormous potential for you to negotiate a better salary, for you to receive the
loan you’ve applied for or benefit from an inheritance or some sort of money
coming from your family or your partner – this also includes business partners.
The only niggling point is Mercury in retrograde motion until 20th July in
your house of earned income. So, if, for example, you are changing jobs which
usually always means that the first time you get paid is during the second
month of your employment, you will have to economise a little as you switch
jobs. Equally, there may be other bills coming your way or you are generally
feeling quite generous with your cash. In the worst case, you are even taking
big risks financially, so be sure it’s worth investing in that stock market
fund your so-called independent financial advisor suggested will yield big
profits.
In any case, the new Moon on 7th July in Gemini in your house of money unlocks the
potential for a raise and alongside Jupiter, this could be quite a nice
increase – and just in time for the holiday season which, it seems, you’ll be
making the most of in August.
This new Moon is in the nakshatra of Ardra, ruled by
Rahu. This is the nakshtra of the wild one
and the risk-taker. It is a somewhat shrewd placement where we
communicate with wild force to elevate ourselves. The ruler of this nakshatra
is currently in your 6th house of arguments, conflict and disagreements. So, again,
you may be more willing than usual to take financial risks and you may be more
argumentative to get what you want and push your own ideas through at work
regardless. This may just work as you could charm a bird out of a tree this
month.
And this is because Venus,
your ruler, is in the house communication, writing sales, gadgets, new ideas
and new experiences, learning, skills and short-journeys. This makes you very busy
as you’ll be rushing around, debating, communicating, selling and developing
new ideas. Equally, you may play a bigger role at work where you have to be
involved in teamwork or if you listen to that quite voice to join a sports
club, then being involved in some sort of team exercise regime could be part of
what keeps you busy this month. This is also the house of publishing so, you
with all these money-spinning ideas going through your mind, you could even
start a blog now – as you are Taurus, perhaps it’s related to food! The full
Moon on 22nd July 2013 in Capricorn in your house of publishing
could indeed see you launch this project.
Alternatively, this may
also be the time for you to pack your suitcase, books that last minute holiday
deal and get on that plane. New experiences connected to travelling are
possible…but only if you manage to get through that mountain of work first.
If you are single, you
may now also want to sign up for an online dating website – you come across
very well at the moment through various types of communication and who knows,
there may be someone to enjoy the summer months with or, if you are in the
Southern hemisphere, someone to cosy up to in front of the fire place.
So, a great month with a lot of potential to increase
your finances, especially after Mercury goes direct again so that the T-square
between Uranus, Pluto and Jupiter won’t do too much harm. On the contrary, it
may push you to bigger and better things. Although there may still be also be
some challenges involved in this area in July, this is nevertheless a very
productive time and perhaps there is a sense that almost nothing can now stop
you from reaching your goals if only you put your mind to it. A lot of the most
successful people in the world have T-squares in their chart natally as this
combination focuses their energies into a certain areas of life.
Have a great month, Taurus!

I follow the Vedic calendar; this is the monthly solar
horoscope for birthdays from 16th June to 15th July or Gemini Ascendants and Moons
It’s still your birthday month Gemini and all eyes are
on you. For the past two months you’ve been hatching your plans, rearing to go
but your mind may not have been in the right place or circumstances were not
quite right to press ahead. As you enter July, you are already feeling the
lift, the energy and the natural keenness
returning alongside a good dose of optimism. This has an enormous impact on
relationships and you implementing your plans for the future.
What you will have to watch out for, is the Mercury,
your ruler and the planet of communication, is still retrograde until 20th July,
so this is a period during which you will be asked to redefine how you come
across, how other people see you and especially how you communicate with
others. Mercury retrograde is a little tricky for Geminis as you naturally
switch from topic to topic quite easily. Although much depends on where Mercury
is placed in your chart, usually only the slightly sharper ones amongst us
follow your way of thinking. Now, however, you may even be confusing yourself
and it may take you a lot longer to make up your mind, even if it means ending
up with the same decision you started off with.
On the other hand, this is also a great time to review
all the plans you’re about to implement. You’re mega-busy at the moment, so
take a step back and look at the raw edges that need to be smoothed over, look
at what’s still missing and where you’ve overlooked the details. Many Geminis
may now be looking at their living situation which may also be under review –
take the time to think about what it is that you want in this area and if
necessary don’t be scared about changing your mind. By the end of the
retrograde period, you’ll be in a better position to tighten up loose ends and
commit to your decision. Once Mercury comes out of his shadow – which is the
period when he crosses the degree on which he went retrograde – in early
August, you will press ahead fast with the plans you’re making now around where
you live and most likely also with whom.
The new Moon on 7th July in your own sing is your annual new beginning
and unlocks all the potential of having so many planets transiting your sign
this month. The Sun puts the spotlight on you, Mars gives you the energy you
need and the will to fight your corner, Jupiter gives you the optimism and the
opportunities (most likely to do with committed relationships and with
international job prospects) while having your ruler in your own sign rounds it
all off. This new Moon is in the nakshatra of Ardra, ruled by Rahu. This is the
nakshtra of the wild one
and the risk-taker. It is a somewhat shrewd placement where we communicate with
wild force to elevate ourselves. The ruler of this nakshatra is currently in
your 5th
house of true love, children and creativity so you may be more willing to take
some risks in these areas or you suddenly feel this urge to go after what you
want when it comes to love and your own projects you’re working. Equally, you
may dedicate a lot of time to your children and perhaps demanding more from
them now.
Relationships are the key theme this month and perhaps
more so than previously, you’ll realise how far you’ve come in terms of your
expectations and overall experience of partnerships. Partnership have taken on
a more extreme and intense flavour over these past years and July 2013 looks
set to be a breakthrough month where you let go of old behaviour patterns, old
unhelpful emotions, resentment and jealousies. With Pluto in opposition, this
may not come easily and there may be some things you desperately want to get
off your chest but as a Gemini, you know that how you deliver the message is as
important that the content. This symbolic death-and-re-birth-type situation of previously
known relationship behaviour currently affects especially those born at the
beginning of July and those with their Ascendants and Moon signs at around 16
degrees of Gemini.
Then, for the next year, the square between Uranus in
your career sector and Pluto impacting how you deal with other people and what
you get in return becomes a T-square as Jupiter is now also part of the picture.
This releases an enormous amount of potential where your life direction and
career as well as your personal and business partnerships are concerned. You’ve
been waiting for this change in direction for a long time, now you get the
opportunity served to your on a plate – more or less as there will also be some
challenges involved. The challenges come in the form of other people and their
level commitment as well as the expectation they put on you and there may be
some delay in you getting to the point where you are ready to make the decision
that’s right for you. However this is a very productive time and perhaps there
is a sense that almost nothing can now stop you from reaching your goals if
only you put your mind to it. A lot of the most successful people in the world
have T-squares in their chart natally as this combination focuses their
energies into a certain areas of life and although these aspects can be
stressful, ultimately, they push you to bigger and better things.
The full Moon on 22nd July 2013 in Capricorn in your house of shared
resources and intimacy introduces a slight shift in focus and seals the deal
around relationships including joint finances. Whatever was set into motion 18
months ago in mid-January 2012 is now coming to an end and reached a peak. It
may have been a desire for more intimacy that emerged then or, equally, you may
have applied for a loan or started sorting out your finances which are
notorious for their ups and downs. Combined with a change in life direction
including a change in career and how you go about your daily business, you may
be negotiating a new salary package at this time or you are keen to determine
what the next phase of your relationship looks like. A great month, all in all.
Happy birthday, Gemini!

I follow the Vedic calendar; this is the monthly solar
horoscope for birthdays from 16th July to 15th August or Cancer Ascendants and Moons
Cancer, this month may be a time of two halves for
you. It’s your annual wind-down phase before your birthday and a time when you
think about your achievements of the past year whilst setting your goals for
the coming year. During this time, you may feel like you would like to spend
more time by yourself after a busy month, in fact a whole year of networking,
meeting new people, making new contacts, growing your customer base or working
on a big long-term project. All of this has pushed you into a whole new
direction and your future looks likely to be shaped by all those new experiences
you’ve made and people you met. Now it’s time to let it all digest and sink in.
This may cause some temporary confusion or insecurities as you may not be clear
or absolutely certain whether or not you’re about to make the right decision
for your future. A lot has happened over these past 12 months, it was a very
active year and now it’s time to decide which elements of your new life you’d
like to take with you and make a permanent addition moving forward. You will
need some time to recuperate and where best to do it than by the seaside – one
of the crabs favourite spots.
A lot of what is now coming into your life, the people
you meet, where you do your business, where you negotiate and your physical
place of work is connected to abroad. You may be in discussions about a new
job, a new idea, or even think about a course of higher education or to further
your on-the-job skills – whatever it is you decide to do next, you may not do
it in the same place, city or country, you are currently living and working in.
With Saturn and Rahu / the North node in your house of home and your living
environment - not an easy transit for anyone but especially you sensitive crabs
– the foundations of your life are being shaken up a little. The result, again,
can be a change of address and not just down the road – this looks like a move
to far-away places. The only thing that’s holding back progress now is Mercury
in retrograde motion until 20th July. Mercury rules your area of intuition and
far-away destinations as well as communication and paperwork so you may need to
review contracts and agreements and go over the details with a fine tooth comb.
Now, this can of course primarily manifest on a
physical level but even if you are about to move house or desperately want to
because for some reason, you feel the walls are caving in on you, these
transits can also manifest on a spiritual level. Not only are the areas to do
with going abroad, making new experiences, learning something new, recuperating
and broadening your horizons impacted, these are also the areas to do with your
thinking and your intuition. The way you think and feel is changing too – based
on what you’ll see and hear over these next few weeks and months.
What is helping you make the right decisions for
yourself is Saturn, the great taskmaster, finally moving forward again and a
supportive trine from Neptune into the area of your chart to do with your
intuition. You can literally follow your heart this month and you’ll be fine.
Saturn moving forward again after months of retrograde
motion also has a positive impact on how you feel in general. If you’ve been
feeling any insecurities about yourself in the past few months, then you’ll now
realise that it had to do with your changing attitude towards where you want to
build your life, on which foundations and in particular with whom. Your
relationships may have also gone through a somewhat rocky time or at the very
least needed some restructuring – just like your living environment – but
whatever knots have built up and tightened over time are loosening up somewhat.
I know I’ve said that July is a time to recuperate and be on your own but you
will have to make the time and void getting stressed. Your health and
well-being are not at an all-time high, so watch the diet and go for long
walks.
The new Moon on 7th July in Gemini in your house of letting go and behind
the scenes is the trigger for these developments. It’s also the time when you
start letting go of what you don’t want to carry over into your next solar year
with you. This new Moon is in the nakshatra of Ardra, ruled by Rahu. This is
the nakshtra of the wild one
and the risk-taker. It is a somewhat shrewd placement where we communicate with
wild force to elevate ourselves. The ruler of this nakshatra is currently in
your 4th
house, so again, connected to a change in your living environment, perhaps
quite suddenly.
Towards the end of the month, the full Moon on 22nd July
2013 in Capricorn in your house of committed relationships introduces a slight
shift in focus. The focus is now on your relationships and after all the
contemplating and letting go, you might decide to say good-bye or move on to
the next level in your relationship. It’s bound to be an emotional time with
the Moon, your ruler, involved but ultimately a very productive one too. Saturn
is in a square to the full Moon constellation, so there might be some painful
realisations coming your way but equally, this can be a hugely productive time,
especially with so many cardinal planets involved.
Have a momentous birthday month, Cancer!

I follow the sidereal calendar; this is the monthly
solar horoscope for birthdays from 16th August to 15th September or Leo Ascendants and Moons
Leo, this is a beautiful
month where a lot of the pressure of the past two to three months eases off.
Especially with Saturn in your house of the mind, thinking and communication in
retrograde motion for the past few months, there may have been some mental anxiety and with so much focus on your
career and general life direction, working overtime has not helped your stress
levels. Work, in particular the kind where you had to play a central role,
present new ideas and meet sales targets, may have been quite demanding. The
same goes for pitching your ideas and your services to potential clients or
even undertaking a training course to further your skills. In any environment
where you were required to learn something new, your thought processes where
challenges and demanded a lot of mental discipline from you and some projects
developed a lot more slowly than you were used to up to now. During this
process, it’s important for you not to allow yourself to think negatively and
expect the worst – this only makes you depressed.
Luckily, in July 2013, you will receive a lot of planetary support from
the grand trine that connects your 3rd, 11th and 7th
houses. This impacts several areas in life. First of all, your network of
friends, acquaintances and business contacts is going to expand over the next
few months and starting from the new Moon on 7th July. True to your
Leo nature, you are now able to walk into a room and really work it – make sure
you order an extra batch of business cards now, you’ll certainly need it in
July and over the coming months. Equally, it’s your group of friends that seems
to be either expanding or changing entirely – perhaps your interests are now
changing to such an extent that you’ll see a little less of your old pals as
you start mingling with like-minded people that are more on the same
wave-length with you and your re-re-structured way of thinking. It may also be
the case that your new contacts are the ones that really appreciate your well
through-through ideas and your practical mind, putting you in touch with the
right people that complement your skills. This means that a beautiful new
business venture or partnership emerges as a result that is equally as
inspiring for you as it is profitable.
And this leads on to the second point. The planet that rules your money
houses, Mercury is still retrograde until 20th July, either
literally putting your finances on hold or if you are waiting for a pay rise to
come into effect, then the official nod from your boss has not sealed the deal
just yet. While this can be a little frustrating, there is so much planetary
emphasis on your house of gains and profits at the moment that by the end of
the month, you should see the $ rolling in. Saturn, the taskmaster, is now
moving forward again too and is exalted in the sign of Libra, meaning that
where you may have had a difficult time getting your ideas across of be heard,
you are now on a roll, pulling in new business leads and customers left, right
and centre.
Thirdly, this supportive trine also has a beneficial impact on your
romantic relationships which have been subject to some confusion and illusion. As
you go out and mingle, socialise and make new contacts, those that are single
will automatically find themselves in positions and places where a new romance
may be waiting. Romance in general moved to a whole other level over these past
years with Pluto moving through the 5th house of true love, children
and creativity. Your love life may have taken on a fairly intensive note and
there is nothing light hearted about them now – on the contrary, there may even
be elements of obsession and jealousy. But ultimately, relationships you are
involved in or are about to get into can be transformative and healing.
The new Moon on 7th July in Gemini unlocks a lot of the financial and
relationship potential in your chart now, the fruits of which you’ll see in
about six to nine months. In addition, this is a time of new long-term
contracts or projects landing on your desk, again, some of which will only be
done and dusted towards the end of the year and early next year but then with a
nice little bonus attached to them.
The new Moon is in the nakshatra of Ardra, ruled by
Rahu. This is the nakshtra of the wild one
and the risk-taker. It is a somewhat shrewd placement where we communicate with
wild
force to elevate ourselves. The ruler of this
nakshatra is currently in your 3rd house of communication, so if you find yourself
mingling within a new group of people now, or even amongst old pals, you may
now communicate in a way that ensure the eyes of the group remain firmly on
yourself.
Then, for the next year, the square between Uranus and
Pluto turns into a T-square as Jupiter is now also part of the picture. This,
again to some extent puts the spotlight on your finances, your partner’s
resources and those places where you obtain funding from anywhere other than
your own income and your own efforts. This part of life may have undergone some
sudden developments recently and although there will also be some challenges
involved in this area in July, this is nevertheless a very productive time for
you when you can actually achieve a lot here. Perhaps there is a sense that
almost nothing can now stop you from reaching your goals if only you put your
mind to it. A lot of the most successful people in the world have T-squares in
their chart natally as this combination focuses their energies into a certain
areas of life and although these aspects can be stressful, ultimately, they
push you to bigger and better things.
Towards the end of the month, the full Moon on 22nd July
2013 in Capricorn in your house of work and health introduces a slight shift in
focus. After all the mingling and socialising you have been doing this month,
it’s time to keep your head down again and get some work done – those new
customers you will have pulled on board need some attention and those potential
leads need to be followed up. However, make sure you don’t let the stress get
to you, watch your health and by the end of the month, when Venus is in your
sign, you’ll be – or remain – your usual radiant self.
Have a profitable month, Leo!
