July 2014 horoscope - Sagittarius

I follow the sidereal calendar; this is the July 2014 horoscope for birthdays from 16^th December to 14^th January or Sagittarius Ascendants and Moons

Sagittarius, much focus is on your relationships this month, as it has been for the past year. However, this month, the impact, the urgency and the focus of the past year is not as intense anymore, although it was probably good fun at times. Now, you are dealing more with day to day stuff to do with your partnership, paperwork and having a chat over a glass of wine. Sagittarians don’t easily get irritated but this month, you may have to have a bit of a chat about what’s been irritating you or your partner. Maybe you or your partner think something is not in balance in the relationship and needs to be addressed. But don’t worry, it looks like you are both committed to making it work and it’s nothing like what you saw during the first half of the year, when the Grand Cross pulled and plugged you and your husband or boyfriend into all sorts of directions and threw all kinds of challenges your way.

I’ve already mentioned it in June when Jupiter, your ruler, moved into the sign of Cancer and into the area to do with transformation, sudden upheavals, tax and inheritance. The next twelve months are a time when you many of you change, your identity and status undergoes not necessarily a crisis but you may look at yourself in a different way by the summer of 2015. Now, the next big push this summer is that Rahu / the North node and Ketu / the South node are changing signs. Rahu and Ketu denote the points of intersection of the paths of the Sun and the Moon as they transit through the sky. Therefore, Rahu and Ketu are respectively called the North and the South nodes of the Moon. The eclipses occur when the Sun and the Moon are at one of these points. Wherever Rahu travels through denotes the area in the chart where the most change, disruption but ultimately growth happens. For the past 18 months, new friends have entered your life or your circle or friends changed completely. Sagittarians are popular people so this would have come quite easily to you, hadn’t it been for Saturn, holding you back ensuring you don’t promise what you can’t keep. Perhaps people that you no longer felt any attachment to left your life while other, more influential ones became part of your life. Now and for the next 18 months, Rahu / the North node is your 10^th house, shacking up your career sector. In the sign of Virgo, there are healing qualities attached to this transit, so your career and life direction could suddenly be simplified and stripped of unnecessary distraction that cause you too much stress. In any case, you now want to be at the top of your profession, you want to be the leader and you want to be recognised for that. You are suddenly fascinated with power – even more so as you still have Pluto in your sign for another few years. 

The full Moon on 12^th July is in your sign and together with Pluto is a bit of an intense one. You are in the spotlight as are your relationships. Full Moons bring things to a close – perhaps with a bang and concludes what began in January 2013 with another milestone in mid-October 2013. Also connected to this full Moon are matters of joint finance, tax, secrets and the deepest levels of your psychological make-up that are coming to the fore. Some of you also have to deal with people more powerful than you – whether their support is positive or less so, depends on your reaction to all of what’s going on.

This full Moon is in the nakshatra of Purvashada and is ruled by Venus. The meaning of this nakshatra is that of Early Victory and the invincible sea; wealth is said to be consistently high and this is generally a generous and positive Moon and gives a natural ability to organise and manage but with a tendency to jump to conclusions. Nevertheless, one that has an element of optimism and a taste of the big wide world – just how you like it.

Annual and monthly horoscopes are very general so get in touch if you are interested in an individual chart reading. In readings, I use the Indian Dasha system in individual forecasts which is known for its accuracy. You can also follow me on Facebook, Twitter and Google +, see you there!
