Astrology July 2021

ARIES Home & hearth are highlighted this month, Aries, so even if you don’t usually invest or spend much time thinking or doing about these things, you get a tail wind to make changes & help you power through. How or where you live, who you live with & what that relationship entails could probably benefit from a good rethink, rearrange or re-jig. Even where all bodes well here, if you’d like to do some decorating? You should be happy with your handy work. You have power Planet Mars & the Goddess of beauty & bounty heading into your territory toward the end of July & indeed hanging out with you in August too. Use them to get what you want, your proviso is to take action in a calm & graceful way, to do so. News from friends or making new friends is on the cards, as well as inspired ideas on how to approach a nagging health issue. Seek alternatives, get well & feel good.

TAURUS Expression is your key word throughout this month. How you convey yourself, how you articulate & how you communicate are important. This may seem simple, but if you take a few back to school moments, you can master this aspect of yourself & get your point across in a whole new & beneficial way. Whilst you’re at it, the tools you use could probably be updated too. Phones & computers… pens & paper… whatever your way! Any writing projects are really favoured as well, starting a new journal may prove therapeutic & calming. Your creativity gets a super boost toward the end of July & lasts a couple of months. You’ll feel more motivated than you have been, so cash in! Issues at work will start to get ironed out too. Hopefully this month you’ll start to feel a little easier about things & a lot inspired.

GEMINI Your value & your worth as a person, plus who you are in your material world may have been under scrutiny lately, but the thoughts & concepts which have come from thinking about it can now use some form of practical base. This month you’ll be able to put some action & grounding behind your ideas. If you’ve felt some kind of mental lag or brain fog, it’s clearing! Issues surrounding a misunderstanding, communication in general or technology smooth out, finally! There’s a Cosmic shift afoot re your house, home &/or family life & the Planets are offering up harmony for any adjustments over the next couple of months, Gemini. Lets get this party started. The Full Moon (date/time below) lights your inner Guru up to the max. Be on the lookout for a few “A HA!” moments & realisations. They should really please you.

CANCER It’s your Annual New Moon this month (date/time below), so what would you like to be Cosmically gifted? Take time in the lead up to think things through & put a list together. If you like making vision boards or similar, get stuck in & be creative! You may have felt quiet & reflective of late, but it’ll be worth your while to shake yourself out of that by planning your version of a perfect Birthday bash. Pull your friends & family together, they’ll prove supportive now & want to pitch in & help. In fact, as we progress throughout July & August, your siblings & besties come more into focus, as does your communication style & getting things sorted in your immediate environment. All round it’s a great time for a harmonious revamp & connecting into the world in a new way. If you’ve been waiting for some kind of financial news, it’s coming toward the end of the month too. Nice!

LEO Time for a Spiritual retreat of some sort… all work & no play makes for a rather soggy Leo sometimes! You guys are Ruled by the Sun & will give most things your shiny best shot, now, that energy benefits you most if you direct it toward your Soul growth & new practices which sustain you. The New Moon (date/time below), is calling for a fresh start & some spark in that area of your life. Meanwhile, action Planet Mars & Goddess Venus bring their combined fire power & bounty to your earning ability & bank account. So finances are looking good & set to strengthen throughout  August as well. Partnerships, be they of business, friendship or romantic bode well in July. As they tick along nicely, make sure you’re investing in yourself & your own well being too.

VIRGO All work & no play lately? Look back over the past couple of months, pat yourself on the back for a job well done & put that crash helmet down, Virgo! July is bringing you fresh energy & the motivation to re-boot the LIGHTER side of life, so use it! New faces & places are there for the picking, you should be getting invites from friends & associates & you’re encouraged to actually accept. Usually quite selfless & self sacrificing, July & in fact August need to be about YOU. You have Planet Mars to give you some extra up & go AND Venus to amp up your charming side. If you feel “stale”? New clothes, a new haircut or a new creative project will lift you up & inspire you ongoing. Just. Do. It.

LIBRA Last month may have brought out your workaholic side, kept it captive & poked you in many a sore spot. Things are set to become far more harmonious in July though. It’s probably become abundantly clear where issues lie & around New Moon time (date/time below), you’ll get a chance to instigate a fresh start & a new beginning. What do you want to change? Have your ideas & a plan ready to go. Toward the end of the month you’ll likely be feeling quite reflective, so get things done early on & schedule in some quiet time for the last week of July. A Spiritual retreat, or whatever your version of that is, will be what you’re wanting & it’s the perfect place to be, Libra. Plan something creative & you’ll be handsomely rewarded in that space!

SCORPIO The Sun is highlighting your higher self & inner Guru this month. At the very least your intuition is powered up & you’re encouraged to take a philosophical view of your life right now. The bigger picture is where it’s at… thoughts will lighten up if you choose to see things from such a perspective. Getting out & about socially may not be your usual go to, but this month any effort you make to be around others will surely help you shift things. Give yourself a shake up! Your friends have probably been wondering where you’ve gone… you’ve probably been wondering about yourself too! Matters at home or to do with the feminine energies in your surrounds, you mum… sisters… are a focus around the Full Moon (date/time below). Insights abound & when you understand what you’re working with solutions become clear.

SAGITTARIUS Got your mind on your money & your money on your mind? This month,  if you focus once & for all on getting any glitches worked out re your finances? You’ll free yourself up to focus on the lighter side of life again, Sadge. Joint accounts & spending… any debt that’s outstanding, or just going over your budget in general will benefit you in July! Talk to a book keeper or accountant to assist you if figures aren’t your forte or you’re feeling stuck & demotivated. You have a tail wind if you want to use it. Keep your ears open for opportunities at work while you’re at it. You could be shown a new avenue or path around the Full Moon, toward the end of July (date/time below). Get the business end of your life sorted, don’t put it off & you’ll be liberated, ongoing.

CAPRICORN Where there’s been a lot of focus external to you but involving you, the energy is shifting & you’ll be able to put your two cents in toward a more willing audience, in July. In fact, relationships & partnerships across the board are taking on a far more harmonious flavour. Any pokes, prods or outright contentious headaches can be morphed into something better now- phew! The New Moon (date/time below) pops up in your House of finance & will illuminate any glitches, along with what’s needed to address & fix them! Your worth & your value, to yourself & others, will become clear this month. Take a moment to appreciate all your good qualities, Capricorn. You tend to take them for granted & just soldier on. You’ve earned accolades, so soak them up!!

AQUARIUS Your day to day life & immediate surrounds are a focus this month & though things like your routine, your health & just basic “stuff”calls for your time, it’s your Annual Aquarian Full Moon that’s the highlight toward the end of July (date/time below). See anything that’s irritating or poking you in the lead up as a tell for where you can eliminate, improve & refine things substantially for yourself. A Spiritual spring cleaning is favoured now. You can set up a new phase or trend for the next twelve months, so all is worthy of your attention, Aquarius! Finances could use a look in as well, if you’ve been held up or waiting for information before making some kind of solid decision or alteration? It should be on its way to you in July. Double/triple check your facts & make that move!

PISCES The Sun is travelling through fellow Water Sign, Cancer this month & that’s a great thing! It’s lighting up your creativity & there’s serious harmony to be found with kids, pets &… romance! Time to focus on a little bit of Sunshine & light. Even if the sky is a Winter grey, work to make your inner world rosy, Pisces! You have a New Moon highlighting these areas of your life, fresh starts & new beginnings are possible now. As we move through July, relationships become more of a focus, both at home, at work & in your heart. The Full Moon toward the end of the month (date/time below), has a Spiritual edge & encourages you to liberate yourself from any “jail” you feel surrounded by. Honour yourself & you can’t go wrong.

For those of you who track the path of the Moon, I’ve included the Date, Time,  Degree & Sign of both Full & New Moons:

NEW MOON: Saturday, July 10th, at 11:16 @18 Degrees of Cancer.  

FULL MOON: Saturday, July 24th, at 12:36 @1 Degree of Aquarius.

*Moon info is based on local time (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia).Typically, we read Astro Information based on our Sun Sign, however you can gain much better insight if you read for both your Sun, Rising (or Ascendant) & Moon Signs. You can ascertain these by going to a free Chart calculator (there are many online now!) & entering your own personal information. Usually, we’re asked for our time of birth & it can prove a sticking point if we don’t know it! If you don’t know your exact time of birth, enter Noon (12:00pm) where asked, & this will serve as a “happy medium”. Take the time to do this (you’ll only have to do it once, not every month) & note the Sign of your 1st House & your Moon Sign. They’re often different from your Sun Sign, but knowing this “trifecta” offers information that’s deeper & more relevant to who you really are. This way, Astrology will start to make a lot more sense to you, personally.
