Monthly Readings For July 2010!
"The Summer looks out from her brazen tower,
Through the flashing bars of July."
- Francis Thompson

Dear Readers,

    Happy Birthday Cancer  - Focus for the month is on family and comfort.  

This is your month to let go of negative patterns and beliefs. For many this is a  good strong cycle for you to create better balance in your everyday life. This months Solar Eclipse in your own sign of on the 11th transfers emotional energy into the physical. Time to shift in to first gear, get yourself going in the right direction. For others, much depends on where it is hitting in our natal chart.

Astrologically speaking, a retrograde occurs when the planet moves closer to the Earth thus changing the vibration of the planets  influence.  This month we have Uranus, Neptune and transiting all turning retrograde at the same time. The conflict between transiting Pluto and transiting Uranus continues on creating an intense vortex of energy as it triggers an unpredictable shift in the universe.  In addition, Jupiter the planet of luck, turns retrograde July 22, bringing less opportunity and more restrictions around us. It will remain in retrograde until Nov 2010. Transiting Mars in Virgo stresses discipline and order as it conjuncts with Venus moving into Virgo on the 10th of July.  This transit may provide a more critical eye with regards to love matters or financial issues. In addition we have a Solar Eclipse in the emotional sign of Cancer taking place on July 11th.  Time to get in gear with regards to emotional needs, family matters or merely personal possessions and personal priorities.  This Eclipse in Moon ruled Cancer takes emotions and channels it in to energy.  It’s important to be aware of reactions, as well as the need to make sudden unexpected changes.  In addition to all of this, Saturn enters Libra again on July 21st. For those born under the signs of Libra, Sagittarius, Gemini and Pisces, we will be a welcomed relief. For many the financial havoc will be put to rest as Libra creates more of a sense of utter balance. However as it is at odds with transiting Pluto and Uranus, we may feel somewhat pulled in so many directions as the desire to do what's right is in conflict with the need to do what is necessary. Hopefully recent employment issues may now abate thanks to Saturn's quest to create synchronicity in the universe.


Pluto, the planet of transformation, takes a whopping 248 years to complete a single cycle of rotation around the Sun. On average, it spends 21 years in each sign and 5 months of each year in retrograde.
