July 2008 Highlights:   July is a good month to initiate changes in diet and exercise and attend to health concerns that may have been on your mind for some time. Mars enters Virgo July 1st, as the planet of energy and vitality moves into this health conscious sign it conjuncts Saturn, the planet of lessons and structure. Saturn and Mars will be conjunct most of this month giving us discipline to move ahead but we must remain on track and task oriented to avoid frustration. The New Moon in Cancer on the 2nd will further deepen our need to nurture and care for ourselves and our homes. This is our third super Moon in 2008, this occurs when the Sun is within 90% of perigee or closest to the Earth during a lunation so the energy of this New Moon will be intense. Cancer is ruled by the Moon, attending to our emotional needs with family and our closest friends and supporters will be highlighted. The key word for Cancer is “I feel” so go with your feelings and intuition at this time for the best ways to nurture that part of yourself that knows the truth. This is a month where four of the five outside planets are retrograde, we will be learning as we go and there will continue to be many changes with erratic Uranus recently retrograde in sensitive Pisces. Expansive Jupiter is retrograde in thrifty Capricorn; we will still be concerned about finances with transformative Pluto retrograde in Sagittarius hovering at that critical 29th degree of the sign of excess. If you need to reorganize finances, curb spending or take control of your credit, this is the time to take action before it’s too late. Neptune retrograde in Aquarius, conjunct the North Node and Chiron has us shifting our consciousness regarding how we work with groups and get along with others. We will gain more objectivity and see the other person’s point of view while trying to attain more harmony in our daily lives. Mercury moves to Cancer on the 10th, our communication will be more heart felt but reserved, say what you mean rather than expecting others to guess how you feel. Loving Venus enters fiery Leo on the 12th, this will charge up relationships and bring the romance back in to our lives. The Full Moon in Capricorn on July 18th will offer us a reality check, Sun in Cancer illuminates those parts of our lives that need nourishment and support, the Moon in Capricorn is a good time to set boundaries and rules. The more we ignore or disregard our own feelings, the greater risk there is to hurt others too, our self responsibility will lead us to honor the Spirit more than the material when it comes to making choices about lifestyle and accountability. The Sun enters its home sign of Leo on the 22nd, we will feel enthused and energized to work towards getting results we would like to manifest. With the Moon’s South Node conjunct the Sun, we must be careful not to push others or try to persuade them against their will. There is a potential to hear from someone important to you in your past, or even from a past life, this re-visiting has come up for resolution and healing, best to keep it friendly and on an even keel rather than allow passion to be ignited too fast. Mercury moves to Leo on the 26th, making for a period of lively communication. As we approach the solar eclipse that occurs with the New Moon on August 1st, we’ll feel strongly compelled to make changes as July ends.
