July 2016 Horoscopes

Aries

21st March – 20th April

Your planet, the mighty Mars, is slowly moving forward again after being in reverse since mid-April. However, Mars doesn’t build any real momentum for a few weeks, so there might be slow moving situations. Speed isn’t the indicator of success though; so just keep going to get there. First week you’re craving comfort and a sense of belonging. Midmonth (especially 16^th/17^th) there’s positive energy pouring into home and family situations that stirs and even shakes you into action. Doing things by the book might feel irritating (especially full moon on the 19^th), but from the 12^th and especially from the 22^nd, it’s about the fun and feel good factor of creative projects.

Taurus

21st April – 21st May

You are someone who is ok with things taking time, as you understand that everything has a natural process of growth and development, and this month is about small signs of progress that gives big cause for faith and optimism for what’s in store. Communication and information is positively highlighted for much of July, particularly 4^th (when it’s all about what’s new), also 11^th 17^th, 18^th, 27^th. There are healing vibes for friendships, lovers, and business partnerships too; and contracts and agreements might be signed at last, and unfinished business (maybe linked to mid-February) resolved. From the 20^th your focus shifts to family connections and the joy of home comforts.

Gemini

22nd May – 21st June

Mars (drive, motivation, passion) is moving forward at last this month, suggesting a turnaround in your day to day life, your health, your fitness and your employment. There might also be links to mid-February in some situations too (unfinished business finished at last?). Meanwhile there’s really fabulous fulfilment and new beginnings around resources and income (first week, particularly 4^th, and strongly around 17^th and 19^th). From the 14^th your planet Mercury moves into your house of communication, which energizes and activates messaging and information exchange. Love and romance is sweetest 6^th, 17^th and 27^th; then Mercury turns towards family matters and home comforts from 30^th.

Cancer

22nd June – 22nd July

The sun in your sign till the 22^nd is about increase in energy and creativity, as well as the confidence to shine your light brightly. There’s a beautiful new moon in your sign on the 4^th, which indicates potential for new beginnings all month (especially first week and 11^th, 17^th, 18^th, 19^th); as long as you don’t let reality squelch your dreams before the seeds have taken root. Nurture and feed your faith in what’s in store to grow, rather than listen to others who can’t grasp your vision. Full moon on the 19^th focuses on all relationships, whether business or personal, ending stalemates and shifting stuck emotions.

Leo

23rd July – 23rd August

Most of July (especially 4^th, 5^th, 17^th and 18^th) is about the positive momentum in events that you can find and flow with (it’s always a choice). It’s also about turning within to yourself; whether by meditation, contemplation, or even just more sleeping and dreaming, which serves to put you in touch with inspiration, drive, and passion that has been brewing for ages (perhaps connects to mid-February or mid-April?). Some doors are still not ready to open (it’s all about timing), but some certainly are. Venus (relationships), Mercury (communication) and the Sun (creativity and attention) move into your sign from midmonth (12^th, 14^th and 22^nd), which is about being yourself and enjoying yourself, more than ever.

Virgo

24th August – 22nd September

Happy times ahead linked to friendships, groups and gatherings. New moon on the 4^th is about new beginnings here, and it’s also about a new sense of purpose with an awareness of your kindred spirits (especially around 6^th and 17^th). You also a have a new understanding or mind-set that transforms certain situations this month. It’s not that situations change first, it’s you that changes and the situations mould to accommodate, which makes things feel a perfect fit for you. Communication and information exchange is moving forward nicely (if slowly), for the first time since mid-April (mid-February matters for some reason too).

Libra

23rd September – 23rd October

New moon on the 4^th speaks of the birth and nurturing of long-term plans and ambition all month; especially connected to career, but also anything you’ve been aiming for, or have decided to aim for. Your relationship planet is Mars, which is now moving forward nicely and building momentum for the first time since mid-April, means your relationships are too (events around mid-February might be relevant here), especially 6^th (fabulous for romance), 12^th, and 17^th. As the month continues your attention is drawn to friendship, groups and your support network. Information, meetings and moving more into the spotlight are all on the cards (especially around 17^th and 27^th)

Scorpio

24th October – 22nd November

This is a month for a new direction, a new you. You’ve felt this way for a long time now (mid-February and mid-April might be connected), yet circumstances didn’t allow you to move forward on it. But now there’s more action in the right direction, symbolised by a supportive new moon on the 4^th that speaks of a new sense of belonging and new space to grow. Education and travel are big for you this month too, and creative projects are energised and enlivened (especially 4^th, 6^th, 17^th). From the 12^th and especially 22^nd there’s more focus on ambition, status and reputation, and you’re ready for more of the spotlight for so many reasons.

Sagittarius

23rd November – 21st December

In some respects, events during July represent a transition phase or a stepping stone. There are doors opening and opportunities presenting themselves, but in order to fully embrace them and feel you belong, there’s a temporary period of having a foot in both worlds. There’s awareness of why you want to move on and what you’re moving away from, and there’s also faith in the unknown required. It’s all an emotional process of acceptance and the planets are incredibly supportive of all this during July. It means there are some very happy and fulfilling moments where things click into place perfectly this month. But there’s also much more to come beyond that.

Capricorn

22nd December – 20th January

Power struggles (perhaps around 1^st and 7^th) come from pushing against what you don’t want. One answer is to focus on what you do want and trust that what you don’t want doesn’t need your attention (It really doesn’t). July is a very relationship-orientated month with partnerships, contracts and agreements all a priority. New moon on the 4^th is about new beginnings and new harmony in love, romance, business and finances (also 6^th, 8^th, 11^th and 17^th). The full moon in your sign on the 19^th is about the fulfilment and satisfaction for you from more commitment and responsibility, and from the 22^nd it’s about deepening trust and making peace unknown territory.

Aquarius

21st January – 18th February

The new moon message on the 4^th is that you’re full of inspiration and new ideas and it’s up to you to do something about it. You’re ready to do that (especially around 7^th, 11^th, 16^th, 17^th, and 27^th) as you’re looking for something to commit to, and because Mars in your aims and ambition chart means more action and activity than ever around goals and plans (events around mid-February and mid-April seem connected to this). July is also about relationships, contracts, and agreements. Venus and Mercury move into this area of your chart on 12^th and 14^th; followed by sun on the 22^nd, which suggests warmth and harmony in communication and a sunny outlook in general.

Pisces

19th February – 20th March

New moon on the 4^th speaks of success in launching new creative projects and turning hobbies or interests into something more. There’s a message to be flexible, as there might be a few things going on at once, and it takes your sense of humour to keep all the plates spinning (especially around 7^th).  It’s also a month for more commitment in romance or dating; or more fun and light-heartedness for long-term relationships (especially 6^th, 17^th and 19^th). In general, there’s a good easy flow to July, and certain situations feel particularly pleasing in the way they work out. From midmonth and especially from 22^nd there’s positive focus on health and fitness (especially 17^th).
