Aquarius, for the past few weeks, you may already have noticed how things are starting to move forward again and knots are beginning to come undone again. In July, your ruler Saturn starts moving forward again in your house of luck, travel and higher education forming a trine to your own sign as well as your 5^th house of children, romance and creativity. This makes you feel more optimistic, gives you a stronger sense of self and takes away some of the financial pressure you may be faced with at the moment. Although much depends on the Dasha time period, for those who are single, July 2013 can be a very positive month where you feel outgoing, romantic and the mood to flirt – this is a time for you when it’s easier to attract someone to you who fits the bill.

For the next year, the square between Uranus and Pluto turns into a T-square as Jupiter is now also part of the picture in your 5^th house of children and true love. In your case, you money and profit houses are activated in a major way through this square. Although there will 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 financial 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. No pain no gain is the very apt expression! Your creativity may now be the key to a more secure financial future.

The new Moon on 7^th July in Gemini reignites your creative self-expression and romantic frame of mind. You are in a playful mood now, perhaps even easy-going, and you literally radiate during this period. After a year of you working on your foundations and at times, feeling a little emotional, you are now turning from caterpillar to butterfly - you feel good about yourself with your confidence at an all-time high. Again, although much depends on the Dasha period, such a heavy focus on the house of children also indicates pregnancies.

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 9^th house together with your ruler, so again, it is through your creativity and a deep faith in your own abilities that you can profit from – whether financially or spiritually. This is particularly the case of you are dealing with people on an international level or in the form of a teacher, mentor and educator.

July 2013 is also a good month to expand your network of friends and acquaintances which, over the past year(s) may have changed beyond what you’ve known before already. You may now come across highly influential and powerful individuals in your social circle who are in a position to help you meet your goals. Again, there is a strong element of you making contact with people beyond your immediate environment; you’re literally moving in international circles. In turn, the next year can elevate you into a position where you find yourself as a highly influential leader and even someone who initiates social change.

From mid-month, Venus in your house of committed relationships injects some harmony and sweetness into your partnerships. Your negotiation skills are enhanced during this period and so is your willingness to compromise. So, this not only has a positive effect on partnerships but also team work and projects you work on in your job. However, when it comes to relationships, it’s important to keep expectations realistic as Neptune, the planet of illusion is in opposition.

Towards the end of the month, the full Moon on 22^nd July 2013 in Capricorn in your solar 12^th house introduces a slight shift in focus and instead of working the social scene, it’s back to…well, just work and you may have to keep your head down for a little while again to bring a work project to completion. You are also more likely to spend more time on your own, re-charging your batteries and tending to your health and fitness routines which you may have neglected after a month or so of just having a bit of fun.

Have a fun month, Aquarius!
