July Overview

A monthly review of what‘s happening in the heavens: July 2008

July should look a little brighter and easier to most of us than the somewhat taxing June in which a plethora of retrograde planets held most plans and projects at bay. Mercury is moving forward once again, we are not plagued by any eclipses until August and with Mars, Saturn and Jupiter as the only active planets this month, we can expect an increase to our energy, focus and determination along with improved communication and understanding. Of course we also have the Sun and later Mercury in Cancer this month which aids our nurturing and compassionate natures. If we don’t make some progress in personal relationships and find things to smile about during July then I for one will be very surprised! The new Moon on the 2nd is also in Cancer setting the stage for some lovely family time. On the 18th the Full Moon in Capricorn can be helpful with work and career decisions! Once the Sun moves into Leo on the 22nd the social pace picks up and there are lots of opportunities for making new friends and having a fun, creative time. Towards the month’s close though, we may start to feel the energy of the early August eclipses…this can be challenging but the key is to be prepared to accept change and be mindful of your moments!
